This is a review for the Neal McCoy show...Whenever I see that Neal will be in town at the same time I am I go! This year we pretty much planned the trip around Neal's show. Â I love to see him in concert. Â You never know what you're going to get! In fact this year he had a brand new bass guitar player with him and I thought it was a joke until I talked to the guitar player at the end, but Neal kept saying this was the guy's first time with them and they'd never even practiced together. Â Well he blended well with them and did a great job! The only way you could tell he was actually new was he had some music he was reading off of while the rest of them didn't.
Neal puts on an amazing show...he's all over the stage, and off the stage shaking everyone's hand in the audience...well almost...he went through everyone, but somehow missed the front row :duh: We were right in the front center, and didn't get a hand shake. Â Oh well! :confused:
He told jokes and sang some of his biggst hits. Â He also sang some songs that weren't his, but were crowd pleasers. Â This was right after he had sang at Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's wedding, so he told us all stories about that...it's just like watching an old friend on stage. Â You just feel like you've known him for years! He's so funny I laughed so hard and loved every second of the show!!
One thing...he is in the Clay Cooper Theater...be warned the seats are not known to be the most comfortable seats in town. Â They are small and it is a bit cramped, especially if you or the person you're sitting next to is on the larger side.
He will come out afterwards and meet everyone that wants to stay. Â He'll joke about wanting to go home and not to stay and meet him, but he does and you can tell he enjoys it. Â He will stay in that lobby until the last person is gone. Â I even had a chance to sing a little with him afterwards. Â That's something I always enjoy doing...singing with Neal. Â Done it a couple of times now and can't wait to do it again.
Neal is a very kind and big hearted man with a whole lot of talent to share. Â You can see when he's on stage is is completely in love with what he's doing and that makes him extra special. Â Go see his show!! You won't be sorry.
