Last nights concert in Colorado springs was my favorite Carrie concert ever!!! (and I've been to over 20) LOL...The night got off to a great start when we found our seats. We had 10th row tickets but I wasn't sure how close to the catwalk we were. Well we ended up being right next to the catwalk. Carrie slapped my hand 3 times during the night. I swear I think she recognized me from all the concerts I've been to (LOL). I got a great video of one of the hand slaps, Carrie is about 6 inches from the camera and she is looking right at me...
The crowd around us was great, we had a mix of young adults and really young girls with their mom's.
The set up was a little different than I have seen before. The catwalk was really long and it had a little stage at the end, kind of like Keith Urban had. Carrie spent a lot of time on the catwalk and on the little stage at the end. She and 2 of her guitarists brought some stools out to the little stage and performed the acoustic version of "DFTRM". Again this reminded me of what Keith did at their concerts. Carrie is definitely picking up some good ideas, as she tours with different people.

Carrie was very talkative tonight, and she was very funny and cute when she chatted with us. During her "TMBIM" intro, the Colorado Springs guys didn't get much applause and Carrie laughed and said "Boys you've got some work to do" I got a great video of the whole intro.
Before she sang "DFTRM" Carrie talked about being on the road all the time, but that she and the band were home in Nashville last weekend for her Grand Ole Opry induction. She also talked about making the video for "LN" and how she had to be talked into kissing the leading man. She said it was really "CREEPPY" to have to kiss someone in front of a bunch of people.
After she sang "Crazy Dreams" Carrie talked about her Crazy Dreams coming true. She mentioned that she was in college to be a journalist and then she said "which is weird now, because, now they are the people I hide from." I got a great video of this as well.

Carrie sounded just perfect tonight. Of course she looked beautiful as well. The set was the same as in previous CR concerts. As usual my favorite song of the night was "IKYW". I got an amazing video of this song. "LN" and "AAG" were also really fun tonight. During "JTTW" and "BHC" when Carrie asked us to sing along, you could hear everyone singing the words.

I got some pretty good pictures tonight. Here is the link to all of my pics:

I got some REALLY good video tonight (BHC and Paradise City in particular). On a couple of songs Carrie is about a foot away from me as she goes down the catwalk. Unfortunately I have to go to the airport in about an hour, so I can't upload all of the vids now. I will add to them as soon as I can. Here is what I have so far:




















Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the concert:

Todd, they had the end stage set up in Little Rock too, but I thought it was standard so I didn't mention it. Maybe it began in LR.

You are becoming the wandering attendee. Great videos.

Thanks! See, I knew she probably even had trouble doing the kiss in that video, so kind of shows why she would not have done anything more then what she did.

Again, thanks for a great review of what all happened.

shes too cute. i remember how she said she was shy to hold the hands of the leading guy in the video for wasted. it also must be ironic for her how she is now thrust into journalism in the real world, as opposed to journalism in school...

Great pics and I like the chatter videos people take. The chatter is the best part of her shows because you never know what to expect, lol.

IKYW is always the best.

I have not seen the catwalk yet. I have seen the KU/CU concert catwalk and assume it is similar. The idea is fabulous. Glad she is using it.
