Keith took the stage with full force at eight thirty. After the second song he told us that it was going to be a long night and since it was Saturday night, to “call the babysitter because you are going to be home late.” He charged thru his regular set with so much great energy, much more excited than Huntsville. The band was really feeling the crowd as well. Both Jerry and Chad flashed some expensive looking watches to the video monitors (large round watch face with diamonds); perhaps this was an ‘end of the road’ gift from Keith? In addition to the usual set he sang “Take it to the limit” on the satellite stage. Chad and C-Rod did a great job with backup vocals. Keith thanked everyone that had traveled a long way to get there, joking “I know some of you came 10...15 minutes to get here, that’s amazing.” The YLGIMS girl had a sign with neon arrows on it. She was so excited to be up there with him and sang well. She had the same first name that I do so I swooned whenever Keith said it. She gave Keith a red glow stick. He had the light tech turn down the house lights so he could play with it. He asked her, “don’t they make little ones that you stick in your mouth.” She said yes and pointed to someone in the audience who had one. Keith said, “oh good, I thought you guys were eating them.” He put the glow stick in his pocket and said, “I’m going to have fun with mine later.” The people sitting on the side risers in front of the stage platforms were very lucky. Keith signed several things for them during songs, shook hands and wore one girls straw cowboy hat for a song (then gave it back). The encore was the best. Keith announced that they were done with the set and were going to break it up and give it to people. The crew dismantled the entire set while the band played for over thirty minutes. Some of the “rocks” were broken up and thrown out into the crowed, the lights came down and the floor covering was pulled up (Keith almost tripped). I know someone else with a better memory will post a complete set list but from what I can recall they played: Brand New Man, 8675305, You may be wrong but you may be right, Sweet Home Alabama (I had to go all the way to Florida to hear him sing it), Hurt So Good (duet with Pat Green) and The Joker and a few others I can’t remember. Pat Green was very funny and was trying to get Keith to moon the crowd with him. Keith laughed and said “naw, I play guitar man.” During ‘The Joker’ Keith pushed Jerry and Chris to the front microphone to sing a verse at different times. He stood behind them near their usual mics, and then he pushed each of them with his head in the middle of their back, kind of marching behind them while still playing his guitar. He thanked the crowd many times, saying that it was bittersweet to end the tour. He said that it had been an amazing year, both professionally and personally. I was kind of sad to watch him take the final bow, fling his wrist band into the crowd (no shirt removal like in San Jose) and walk off the stage for the final time. But I look forward to the new album and next years tour.
