<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThomas Rhett Shines<\/h2>\n\n\n\tWallen has three openers for each show: two newer acts and one bonafide headliner on their own. For the tour\u2019s first show, it was Thomas Rhett, who goes on his own arena tour later this year (and will co-headline two stadiums with Niall Horan). Rhett took the stage while it was still light out for a nearly hour-long energetic set that brought great vibes. He delivered hit after crowd-pleasing hit from the up tempo \u201cMake Me Wanna\u201d and \u201cLook What God Gave Her\u201d to \u201cBeautiful\u201d and \u201cDie A Happy Man,\u201d which all deal with being in love or appreciating feminine charms. Not everything was rosy though as he also performed his most devastating song, \u201cMarry Me,\u201d which never fails to feel like a body blow. A song that Rhett didn\u2019t record landed one of his biggest receptions of the night: \u201cShe Had Me At Heads Carolina,\u201d Cole Swindell\u2019s 2022 smash that Rhett co-wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nStill Crazy After All These Years<\/h2>\n\n\n\tWallen tends to stay away from politics or topical issues in song and publicly, but one exception is \u201cI\u2019m A little Crazy\u201d from I\u2019m The Problem. <\/em>\u00a0While it mentions no specific societal ills, the song still manages to capture the scary, disorienting times we live in no matter on what side of the political spectrum you may fall. The protagonist is a pill-popping\u2019 drug dealer who keeps a loaded gun by his bed because, as he sings, \u201cI\u2019m a little crazy, but the world\u2019s insane,\u201d while he witnesses various disconcerting scenarios. It is one of the finest songs he\u2019s recorded (co-written by HARDY), but it\u2019s Wallen\u2019s world-weary delivery that really brings it home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nB There for the Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\u201cI\u2019m a Little Crazy\u201d was one of three songs performed on a B stage at the back of stadium to cater to fans who were farthest away from the main stage. The remote stage is something Wallen incorporated a few years ago when he moved to stadiums, and gives him a chance, as he said to the audience, \u201ca chance to look you in the eyes and say \u2018Thank you.\u2019 It\u2019s become one of my favorite parts of the show.\u201d \u00a0Wallen, accompanied only by guitarists\/vocalists Dominic Frost and Tyler Tomlinson, also performed his cover of Jason Isbell\u2019s \u201cCover Me Up,\u201d and his huge hit \u201cWasted on You.\u201d Taking place pretty much midway through the show, the mini set was a highlight, not only for the sense of intimacy, but because Wallen\u2019s voice was fully warmed up and he twisted some notes, held others for a duration and generally showed what his fluid voice can accomplish. Where\u2019s MTV\u2019s \u201cUnplugged\u201d when you need it? \u00a0Did we mention that the edges of the small rectangular stage caught on fire (intentionally) to heighten the drama of three of his strongest songs?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nMisery Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\tWallen has built his career on being love\u2019s malcontent and, quite frankly, we\u2019re here for it. In Wallen\u2019s world, love is a losing game. Whether it leads to drowning your sorrows in songs like \u201cWhiskey Glasses\u201d or \u201cYou Proof\u201d or is toxic love that refuses to be extinguished in \u201cThinkin\u2019 Bout Me\u201d or is fleeting in \u201c20 Cigarettes\u201d or \u201cLove Somebody\u201d \u2014 all of which Wallen performed \u2014 much of Wallen\u2019s canon is based on love that doesn\u2019t work out. The world has enough silly love songs, Wallen is there for everyone who doesn\u2019t have a permanent plus one and who knows that sometimes love just stinks. Misery loves company, especially when it comes surrounded by 70,000 strangers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nReach Out and Touch Somebody\u2019s Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\tIt\u2019s hard to make a massive stadium feel intimate, but Wallen tries harder than many entertainers to make as many points of contact as he can with fans. It seemed like he tried to take selfies with everyone in the pit and he crouched down so much to get closer to the fans that it\u2019s a wonder his knees didn\u2019t give out. Combine that with walking through the audience to get to the B stage in the rear of the stadium and back and that segment of the show and it\u2019s hard to think what more Wallen could have done to try to shrink the stadium and make it feel like a club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
\nPowerful Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\tThere\u2019s no way to overstate the high-tech, impressive production. After the Theo Von bit and Wallen walking out with former Viking Allen, it still took a minute for him to hit the stage. First, on the stories-high video screen the dominated the rear of the stage, the crowd saw a video of a fighter jet taking dizzying, powerful flight off an aircraft carrier. We may be wrong here and maybe Wallen was just being patriotic, but it felt like it tied in to the massive stage that seemed shaped like a fighter plane with a nose that reached to the halfway point on the floor, as well as two wings that extended far across the stadium floor and a body\/tail that led back to the main stage where the band mainly spent it\u2019s time and Wallen occasionally visited. If you\u2019re not sitting up high up enough, the imagery may not be apparent (and again, we could be wrong). As if that weren\u2019t impressive enough, from almost the start of the show, there were flash pots spewing arcs of flames into the air (including from two cutouts on the wings of the stage that Wallen had to make sure to stay clear of) and fireworks going off indoors. Add to that, fans were given light-up bracelets (similar to ones on Taylor Swift\u2019s tour) when they walked in that were synchronized with the beat and the color of the lights rimming the stage. It was a grand spectacular designed to give maximum entertainment value and literal bang for fan\u2019s buck. Only downside was the stage was so gargantuan that it was occasionally hard to find where Wallen was.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
