Watched some great guitarists this weekend at Stagecoach

This weekend’s Stagecoach Country Music Festival provided me with an opportunity to see some great guitarists in person. Joe Walsh, and John Fogerty were among them. Walsh and Fogerty just make it look so easy to play the guitar!! Of course I saw many other fantastic guitarists this weekend, but those two were my favorites. Made me want to go home and pick up my guitar and sound just like them. Well, maybe not like them, but what the heck, I can try can’t I?

My favorite acts at Stagecoach were John Fogerty, and the Eagles a close second. Fogerty just rocks, and has a lot of energy on the stage. The Eagles of course are always great to watch in person.

I also enjoyed Jack Ingram and Trisha Yearwood. However, I was not impressed with Tim McGraw, he just looked and sounded a little out of it on Sunday evening. Perhaps he has been traveling a lot and was just tired, I can appreciate the fact that these folks are moved from one place to another and sometimes just can’t be on their ‘A’ game.

Singer Shelby Lynne had some rude things to say about the fact that there were empty high-priced paid seats located in front of the Mane Stage. See the video I took below of her comments.



Next year I would like to see less ‘pop’ country like Carrie Underwood, and maybe someone like Tracy Lawrence? Maybe a return by Alan Jackson and George Strait would be nice as well.

Jack Ingram at Stagecoach

Jack Ingram performs on the Palomino stage at Stagecoach. He put on a really good show, and he really knows how to interact with the crowd.
