Keith Urban Concert


Last night, we attended the Keith Urban concert here in St. Louis.  This is just one of the many 18 wheelers parked outside the Scottrade Center for the show.


Tony and Paul

We had a chance to hang out with Paul who is currently on the road with Keith Urban.  It's always great to see an old friend up here!


Jake Owens

I wasn't sure who he was, but I did finally recognize one of his songs towards the end.


Great seats for Keith Urban!


I've never seen anything close to the lighting display that Keith Urban had for his stage.  Normally, there are one or two guys up on the risers several feet above the floor working the lights.  No, there were like six for this show.  It was pretty interesting watching them climb up there!

Even more impressive were the roller coaster light displays.  If you see the silver tracks that go all along the back of the stage, that was all tracks for lights there were on rollers.  There was a second, smaller track above the stage.  It was basically like watching motorized lights on a roller coaster.  Very cool stuff.


He had a small stage set up out in the middle of the floor where he played a few songs.  There was also a microphone set up in the arena seats where he played a couple of songs, and even gave away a guitar.

One of the most entertaining parts of the show was when he sang "Kiss a Girl."  He brought up 3 girls and a guy to sing the chorus.  The poor guy hardly knew even of the words, but he was very fond of the beer that he brought up with him!  After those four sang, he grabbed a little boy who was maybe 6 and holding a guitar to come up on stage and sing with him.  It was adorable!


I had to include a picture of the light up guitar!  It even changed colors a few times throughout the song.  The guitar playing for his show was just incredible!
