This NC native is the best country performer to hit the stage since Garth Brooks. I have seen Garth several times, and even in his first SD appearance. But Scotty had the crowd going, had great chemistry with the fans, a winning smile and genuine personality. He was a livewire on the stage, and gave a full-tilt performance. Couldn't have been any better, unless he played longer than an hour, and the sun wasn't shining in our eyes over by the stage. The first half hour we could only see him in black and white, with the sunshine there by him. After that it was nice.
As a grandma, it isn't often I cry listening to music, but when he pulled up a stool, had his guitarist with him, and sang Letters from Home, after an explanation why this song was special to him, I actually bawled through most of it. Touching moment.
Venue: Would I go back again for another concert? At those prices and the inconvenience of the parking at the fair taking so long, and $2.00 Tuesday crowd, no. We paid $55 per seat and $12 to park (others driving in beside us were paying $10). We got no concession other than having paid for parking already. We still were sent out to the north 40 in the dirt with them to park, and it took an hour.
