My favorite country group, Dixie Chicks, didn't let me down: Their fabulous show at Verizon Center, DC tonight proved once again that they were a musically talented country trio who didn't need tabloid or political "accidents" to keep their fans' support. With only one Bush joke, Natalie Maines letted her music do the talking and she was shining when performing live.
While younger crowds were more familiar with the Chicks' new album, older fans like me enjoyed singing along with their timeless masterpieces like "Landslide" or "Cowboy Take Me Away". The stadium was packed in almost every section so I gave up the idea of sneaking to a better seat as I usually did. No wasting time talking or changing fancy outfits, the Chicks were singing and playing nonstop for almost two hours. When the crowd wasn't ready to leave after the show, applauding, they encored a beautiful acoustic version of "Travelin' Soldier" and two more.
I had a nice view thanks to my timely arrived Meade binocular.
And I regretted having taken the "No Camera/Recorders" rule printed on my ticket too seriously.
PS, just read a funny article in NYT about how ridiculously expensive these summer concerts are getting.
