Monday night, I posted my review of Darius Rucker’s portion of the Paisley Party Tour.  It’s now time for the Dierks Bentley portion of the concert review.  I’m sure no one really cares about Dierks, though, huh?

Prior to the concert, I was most looking forward to seeing Dierks Bentley again.  I’ve seen him two previous times.  Given our seat location this time, my main goal was to get some really good shots of him and the other two artists.

Wait…I interrupt Dierks to tell you about our seats.  Given the price of these tickets (very little difference between all of the seats), we decided to try to get some seats on the floor.  I logged in as soon as tickets went on sale and managed to get some excellent seats.  You can see the diagram of the BOK Center and our seat location highlighted in blue.  The seats were perfect because we were practically in front of the little stage coming out from the main one and then were even with the end of the long stage coming out.  (The little stage is not pictured in this diagram, for some odd reason. It came off the end of each side of the main stage and went halfway down F1 and F2, respectively.)

The thing we noticed most about Dierks this go around was his lack of ability to be still…ever.  He was constantly on the go running from one end of the stage to the other.  That was good and that was bad.  He definitely has high energy and keeps the audience entertained during his set.  My problem was that I couldn’t get a picture of him at all at times.  I have several pictures where all I can see is a bright white blur.  You can kind of see what I mean by looking at the picture above of Hayley & Lindsey.

I love Dierks’ new(er) song Feel That Fire.  The thing I always wondered about hearing it on the radio was how it would sound live.  I have no idea what the term officially is but I like the way he plays with his pitch during the song.  I was unsure how it would sound live, though.  It sounded very good.

I included the following 2 photos in the Flickr album for the concert and thought you might want to know what was pictured.  At the beginning of the song What Was I Thinking?, Dierks came and sat down at the end of the long stage coming out into the audience.  The beginning of the music video for the song was shown on the big screens and Dierks pretended like he was sitting there watching a movie (with beer & popcorn in hand).

Here is a slide show of the my Flickr photo album from the concert.
