Modern Country


What modern country artist do you think puts on the best live performances?

Please mention what modern country artists you've seen live and which were the best or, if you've only seen one artist, how there performance was.
?: The things I've heard about Paisley's shows are all the videos and things he has going on during his performance. In fact, he even makes animations himself (on a MacBook Pro, from what I've seen) to play during instrumentals, such as the animation played while he's performing "Turf's Up" (I only know he has an animation for that song because I saw it on the Paisley YouTube page).

I've seen Toby Keith every year for the last six years and he always puts on a good show. Several friends and fans get together and see him every year so I may be biased in my opinion. He has closed with American Soldier and Courtesy of the Red White and blue ever since the song came out but each and every performance. the finale still moves me with all the soldiers brought up on stage. My biggest complaint is that he needs to change his set list up because he only incorporates a few news songs each year. There are a lot I am ready for him to let go of.

I will say that last year, Montgomery Gentry toured with him and that was the best concert! Eddie Montgomery is a hoot, incredibly funny and entertaining to say the least.

Brooks and Dunn put on a good show. I love Ronnie Dunn''s vocals but Kix makes the show as far as entertainment goes.

If you are into smaller venues, I recommend Travis Tritt. He puts on a good mix of great guitar playing and some great ballads

I know you are a great fan of Brad Paisley and while I have not seen him myself, I did send my niece tickets two years ago when he was touring with Taylor and Kellie and she just couldn't quit talking about what a great show it was.
