I've probably seen Gary Allan more than any other mainstream performer and I'm going to see Johnson for the first time later this month. I'd be reticent to call Johnson the savior of traditional country music, though. The same things were said about Trace Adkins back when he was getting started, but he said he didn't want that onus placed on him and, if anything, I'd bet Johnson feels the same way. "My Way To You" isn't exactly traditional. Sounds like a great show.

Gary Allan did mention that they had to borrow everything on stage as all their gear was damaged in the accident up in Canada. My only gripe about the concert was not the artists, but the Heartland Events Center which turns the sound into a giant echo. They do however, bring a lot of big name entertainment to central, NE. George Jones played there a couple years back as have some bigger names in rock. Look for more shows as the state fair is moving to the Fonner Park grounds in 2010 I too was at the concert and definitely enjoyed both.

Now he's playing here in San Diego and LA too. Oops. Oh well, it was a great vacation anyway, and let me tell you, the crowd at the Louisville show (which was huge) was PUMPED for the music. He had the benefit of being the main act, though. Glad to hear it was a good show -- that'd definitely be cool to see Gary Allan at the same time. I second the duet idea (but I still want a recorded version of Jamey and Lee Ann's version of "Give It Away" too). ^ Heck, I went all the way to Kentucky to see Jamey because at the time he didn’t have any tour dates here.

Story of my life. But it was worth the trip. I drove five hours to see the show then found out they’re playing in Colorado tonight, which would have only been three hours. Story of my life.

The last time I saw him, "Watching Airplanes" got the biggest response, but I never completely got that one.

I agree....kidna like a dream concert. Gary not playing "Smoke Rings" anymore is a crime.....Last time I saw him, he played SEVERAL album cuts...great songs...but still...you are telling me that he can't replace one of them album cuts with Smoke Rings?

Two hour drive from Omaha. These two guys are my music hero's and they delivered the goods. I was 25 feet from stage. Had my 8 year old guitar playing son with me - Gary kept looking at him. Thought he'd play "Tough Little Boys" but didn't. My kid did get one of Gary's picks though! It was a magical night. BTW - I saw Jamey Johnson acoustic at a radio station in Omaha in Dec 08, played 45 minutes for about 25 people in a small room, so it really wasn't his first time playing in Nebraska! Gary and Jamey - be safe in you travels on tour.......... I was there. Two hour drive from Omaha. These two guys are my music hero’s and they delivered the goods. I was 25 feet from stage.

Wish I wish there. I'll be seeing Jamey 2x in September and 3x in October. You will see Jamey in his best form when the show is just him or he is the headliner, especially in a small venue. It will be interesting to see the Jamey-Randy tour this fall. I haven't seen Gary in concert but several have said how good he is. Definitely will have to check him out. Great review!
