The Chicks in Concert
For nearly three decades, Natalie Maines, Emily Robison, and Marie Maguire have been wowing audiences with their decidedly modern take on classic country, channeling the boldness of past greats like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton while adding hints of fiddle and banjo to robust, harmony-rich pop gems. Their lengthy career has led to collaborations with fellow Texan BeyoncĂŠ on her country-fried âLemonade' track "Daddy Lessons" and providing harmonies for comedy heroâand bluegrass championâSteve Martin on the gorgeous ballad "You," while also captivating audiences around the world with their astonishing talent and seamless update of classic Americana.Â
Formed in Dallas in 1989, The Chicks (formerly known as "The Dixie Chicks") began as a bluegrass band, with sisters Maguire and Robison showing off their instrumental talents (Maguire's know-how includes double bass, mandolin, and viola; Robison's repertoire includes dobro, lap steel, and sitar) on bluegrass and country chestnuts. As the Chicks' stature grew, their music added more contemporary touches, which led to Lubbock-born Natalie Maines joining the group as lead singer in 1995. âWide Open Spaces,' the group's rollicking, major-label debut and first album with Maines on vocals, was a smash critically and commercially, winning the 1999 Grammy for Best Country Album, selling 12 million copies, and launching three singles, including the title track and the rueful "There's Your Trouble," to the top spot on Billboard's Country Songs chart. âFly,' released in 2000, also won the Best Country Album Grammy, and singles like the vengeful "Goodbye Earl" and the longing "Without You" became touchstones for 21st-century Nashville; âHome,' its 2002 follow-up, featured the group's crystalline reinvention of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" and their wartime chronicle "Travelin' Soldier." While the Chicks haven't released a studio album since 2006's âTaking the Long Way,' the group's resilience and continued honing of their craft shine on the 2017 live album âDCX MMXVI Live,' a memento of their 2015-2016 tour where they showcased a wide range of influences, covering not only BeyoncĂŠ but punk-blues duo The White Stripes and neo-miserablist Lana Del Rey in between renditions of their indelible hits.
Our 4th time seeing The Chicks. They were great. Played most of their hits. However, when did it become acceptable to scream-sing all the songs with the artist on every song. There were times we could not hear The Chicks. I am all for everyone having a good time, but make sure everyone around you is too. If this becomes the norm, I am done going to live concerts.
I was not impressed with the Chicks concert. Hardly any old songs and we did not think they played long at all. No backdrop. We were so excited to attend but very disappointed at the end of the evening.
A dazzling show for the eyes and the ears. Worth the wait...sure. Blasting their hits and adding new material. Only low spot was the middle? when they went into political overload and alienated a good portion of the audience. Don't think My Body resonated with this crowd. That aside a fun show.
Awesome and fun great experience rocked out entertaining I will recommend the Dixie chicks to anyone wanting to hear great music see a great performance
This was one of the best shows my wife and I have been to! We enjoyed it so much. All three were absolutely perfect. They gave us exactly who they are. Anyone who says anything negative about the show are obviously not fans.
This concert was one for the books ! Definitely one I would go to again !
The Chicks are absolutely incredible. They are first-class musicians and entertainers and put on an amazing show in Knoxville. Great mix of new music and classic favorites, performed in a way that took me through a full range of emotions. You can feel the heart and soul they put into their music! Also LOVED the messaging and how true to themselves The Chicks have stayed all these years in standing up for their beliefs and whatâs right!
So much musical and vocal talent I was in awe.So many exciting special effects . So happy to see their back . Always a fan and still a fan.I would definitely attend the concert again. My only issue was seeing at times. People couldn't sit still during their electric perfect performance. I must admit I couldn't either. I was hoarse and my hands hurt from singing along and applauding .
Great until they became political and the crowd sure lost its enthusiasim.
While it was a nice concert they didn't come back out to play for an encore. Some of us paid for flights and hotels for the previous concert that was cancelled. To paid that again I would have thought they would have given a little more so we were disappointed.
The best concert I have ever been to! The Chicks and Wild Rivers were phenomenal. Fantastic show. The Bridgestone arena was also really clean and efficient and security and the merch counter were very kind and friendly. I had an awesome experience!
Audio and visual was amazing. Didnât love the political stuff but it didnât keep me from enjoying the show. They are just as good vocally now as it was back then. The merch could have been better. I loved the acoustic version. The opening band was terrible. Wild river? Couldnât understand the words of the songs cause they had the microphone in their mouths. Just another mumbling band from Canada.
The Chicks put on a great show. They are in step with the younger generation. They are writing and singing songs relevant to women's issues. GO CHICKS!!! They will be remembered as one of the greatest bands that ever existed.
We were in town for the weekend and bought tickets for this show. We're not dedicated Chicks fans but remember their older country radio hits. They are still great musicians and performers. We enjoyed the music even though we're really not familiar with their more recent songs. Given they've been outspoken on issues in the past, it was not surprising there were "politically themed"comments and music selections. I simply would have enjoyed the show more if politics were not inserted and the focus had remained on entertaining music and performance.
Turned out to be political. Just wanted to come to a show and sing along with the music. Didnât need the videos in the background, distracting from the music.
The Chicks presented a fantastic show replete with palpable girl power and totally unapologetic about who they are and what they stand for. Loved singing along with their old songs and hearing all of their awesome new compositions. Their combined talent is unmatched.
The Chicks! Great show from the moment they stepped on stage. The graphics behind them on screens were absolutely incredible! Edgie, political, unique! So entertaining. These ladies have been around a while & their talent & message stands strong. Natalie sang her heart out! Lead singer on every song. She has so much heart & lungs. The sisters were spot on musically & their 3 part harmonies blended beautifully. I would certainly see The Chicks again!
We love The Chicks! They are strong feminist and stand up for what they believe no matter who disagrees with them even if it might hurt their career in the process which takes tremendous courage. I played their music for my daughter as she was growing up and took her to the concert. We knew all the oldies and even the new songs sounded good.
Music was great butâŚâŚToo many people that thought they were entitledâŚâŚ I.e. women thinking that they had the right to use menâs bathrooms and be offended when men came , and passed them in line. RIDICULOUS!
Wonderful show! Those girls can put on a show!! I highly recommend seeing them at least once.
