The concert was awesome. So glad I went. I was VERY disappointed in the poor turn out.

JO DEE MESSINA IN CONCERT:
Country music just wouldn't be the same without Jo Dee Messina's spunky collection of hits and trademark red hair. Her catchy country tunes have dominated the charts since the '90s, and they're even more compelling live. Whether she's showcasing her vocal prowess on hits like "Head Carolina, Tails California" or sharing her spirited attitude with adoring concertgoers, Messina definitely knows how to get the crowd going, leading fans in fun sing-alongs and telling stories along the way. With the 2014 release of Me, her first new album in almost 10 years, Messina has fans fired up for her highly anticipated upcoming tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
A Massachusetts native, Jo Dee Messina started out singing in local clubs with her siblings, eventually attracting the attention of Curb Records and moving to Nashville. Her solo career kicked off in 1996 with her widely successful self-titled debut, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and produced two Top Ten singles. I'm Alright followed two years later and generated significant buzz with three No. 1 hits, ultimately going double platinum in the US. Since then, she's collaborated with Tim McGraw, toured with legends George Strait and The Judds, and sold over five million albums. With the desire to truly connect her fans to her music, Messina launched a Kickstarter campaign to support her 2014 album, reaching her goal in just 30 days due to her extremely dedicated fan base. Jo Dee Messina will treat audiences to her classics as well as new material from her fifth studio album Me on a string of upcoming shows.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"This was my first Jo Dee Messina concert -- what have I been missing?! A knockout of a show. She has great stage presence and interacts with the audience. Terrific play list that kept the crowd engaged. I will definitely be at her next concert."
"There hasn't been a time that I didn't enjoy Jo Dee Messina's concerts. I think she is fantastic!"
"Absolutely amazing person, performer and concert! The band is great! If you don't see them live you are truly missing out!"

unbelievable
by shutts on 8/23/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 5 out of 5all the artists were great. loved hearing bucky covington,and hearing jodee messina was a dream come true. always wanted 2 hear her sing "heads carolina,tails california", and "don't stop believin" by journey. it almost made me cry watching john michael montgomery sing "be my baby tonight", and "Sold the grundy county auction". hearing "i swear was good 2. Jack ingram was great. loved hearing his song"love you".he was great, would love 2 see him in concert again.
Jo Dee Messina is an amazing performer!!!!
by Hikergirl110 on 8/23/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 5 out of 5I loved Jack Ingram and Jo Dee Messina!! My friends and I did not sit down once during their performances! Bucky did a good job opening the concert and getting the crowd pumped up. John Michael Montgomery played a lot of slow songs...which wasn't probably the best idea at the end of the night. Overall great show!!
All 4 Were Great!
by Myboystb on 8/23/10Cumberland County Civic Center - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5Bucky, Jack, Jo Dee, and John were all fantastic. I thought it was a great night and were great with the audience. I was very impressed that all of them were so much into the crowd and involved them. Some don't and wont interact with the crowd. These 4 sure did a great job at that. My only issue with the whole concert was that we were in the second row at the end and because of the way the stage was set up we had the speakers in our way from seeing the rest of the bands.
JoDee Rocked-John Michael Not So Much
by tgsqrlgrl on 8/23/10Cumberland County Civic Center - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5I bought the tickets as a birthday gift for my sister. We both really enjoyed the show but the turnout was really sad. I have never seen so many empty seats. I was thrilled that I was able to see Bucky Covington (someone I may not have bought tickets to had he not been included in the lineup.) He put on a great show-I will be picking up his CD asap. We also enjoyed Jack Ingram but have to draw the line at John Michael Montgomery. He used to be such a hit but tonight definately a miss. Very slow to appear. Appearance was very unkept. His voice seemed sluggish. From our seats we were able to see that he was reading the words to his songs from a computer screen placed on the stage. I really enjoyed the songs he played but we left after the third or fourth one. The stage setups were very plain. At one point during John Michaels set I worried for the keyboard player whose riser seemed to be the most rocking thing on the stage-swaying back and forth.
Very disappointed
by SusieGert on 8/23/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 2 out of 5Someone should have checked to see how the music sounded from the audience's point of hearing. The music was so loud you could not hear the singers. You could not understand a thing they were singing. I feel I wasted my money. Wanted to go see Allen Jackson on September 11, but I am afraid it would also be a waste of my money. I can not believe that the performers don't care enough that they would not make it a point to check on on they sound.

Jo Dee & John Michael were great. We were surprised that Jo Dee was up 3rd not last. The other 2 we would not want too see again.
- by Morcap on 8/23/10Cumberland County Civic Center - PortlandRating: 2 out of 5
This concert lacked the excitement compared to the other concerts that I have attended this year. The stage was more of a "county fair" then a Civic Center display. It didn't appear that any extra effort was put in for this show. I was quite surprised with the small crowd...I don't feel that the concert was worth the price of the tickets...I paid $55.00 and the week before the concert I received an email buy one get one free.....After I had paid full value....
Jo Dee Messina, John Michael Montgomery, Jack Ingr
by martinguitar on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 4 out of 5a great lineup of talent...bucky covington was enthusiastic, jack ingram was good, for the both of them it was hard to hear all the lyrics. jo dee messina was just fabulous, the best performance of the evening by far. john michael montgomery was good although it wasn't until his last song that he actually played his guitar. up until that song he mostly used the guitar as a prop that he held.

Good concert, did however have a little difficulty hearing the words they were singing.
3 outta 4 ain't bad
by Bugganeatchie on 8/22/10Cumberland County Civic Center - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5Bucky Covington was awesome! I enjoyed Jack Ingram, he was good! Jo Dee Messina Was the headliner and best of the night! Not at all impressed with John Michael Montgomery and probably would not go see him again. If the concert ended after Jo Dee Messina I would have been perfectly satisfied and got my moneys worth.
Jo Dee was spectacular
by Countrychic1971 on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 4 out of 5John Michael Montgomary is past his prime and should have been the third performer and left the stage for Jo Dee Messina. Jo Dee put on a great show with a mix of her older songs and ones from her newest album (which I ran out and bought after the show.) She and her songs are truly inspiring and she sings them with passion! I guess I was under the impression that Jo Dee was the main performer....it ended up looking like the aged John was center stage!
country stars were great
by nursepal on 8/22/10Cumberland County Civic Center - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5I really enjoy the 1st 3 performers; I did not like the time element between sets made the concert too late ; loved John's singing but did not like his performance as he looked under the influence of something; JoDee was the best performer & singer of the whole show for me
fabulous show
by polkalady on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 5 out of 5high energy great music, performers were on their mark.
jo dee was so great
by unclescooter on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 5 out of 5i just loved the concert from opening to the final act what great fun their energy was just amazing would really like to see more country actsat the civic center maybe keith urban or brad paisley
Great four times the enjoyment
by NYJim on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 5 out of 5The show was fantastic, a lot more than I expected. We are the country part of New York state and its nice to have such great entertainers come to our area and put on a wonderful and fun show.
JoDee, John Michael, Jack and Bucky - awesome show
by tami2561 on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 5 out of 5All 4 performers were great. I am very glad I went to see the show. The multiple performers in one show is terrific. More bang for our buck is a good way to describe it in these hard times.
- by COUNTRYNYFAN on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 3 out of 5
We were in Section 101 Row 3 and the bass (drum) on all four acts was way, way, WAY to loud, drowned out the vocals. The only enjoyable songs were without the drums! Otherwise the show was very good and entertaining. Enjoyed John Michael Montgomery the most as he did a lot of his early songs; JoDee was a little sluggish we thought, but always good; Jack and Bucky were entertaining and crowd pleasing.
4 for the price of one
by oldman65 on 8/22/10Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens FallsRating: 4 out of 5All four performers were great, John Michael Montgomery was by far the best. Especially when he paid tribute to the troops and veterans, which I am one. (Veteran) that is.

sound quility was good but vocal sound was below average it was hard to understand alot of the vocals as they were blocked out by the instuments.
