Diamond Rio performed a FREE concert in Chickamauga, GA as part of the Tour de Georgia Party time at the start line and put on an amazing 90 minute set! I got there as the opener was finishing and got as close as I could, & came back with some good photos. The fan club had their meet & greet around 7:45 PM, and the show started right after 8. The bicyclists will be in my town Friday, and since I am gonna be off work I will be sure to go take some photos. Here is the set list.<\/p>\n
Beautiful Mess
\nBubba Hyde
\nUnbelievable<\/p>\n
Pause for Marty to tell the people on top of the buildings not to fall off, cuz they could look over & see them fallin\u2019 at any moment lol! Said they were gonna do older favorites they didn\u2019t always get to do & talked about the Greatest Hits 2 CD that comes out in May. I know I will be buying it for sure!<\/p>\n
One More Day
\nMirror, Mirror
\nInstrumental, then another plug for Greatest Hits 2
\nMama, don\u2019t forget to pray for me
\nIn a week or two
\nWalkin\u2019 away
\nNowhere bound
\nYou\u2019re gone
\nThat\u2019s what I get for lovin\u2019 you (my FAVORITE ballad love song of theirs)
\nLove a little stronger<\/p>\n
Another pause for Marty to do the intro to Redneck Love Gone Bad, that he was ready to marry a girl from PA and she dumped him at the door! Then he met his wife, a Georgia peach, only 2 weeks later & they\u2019ve been married over 20 years. Asked if it was ok to do some new music, heck they could sing the phone book and I\u2019d listen!<\/p>\n
Redneck love gone bad
\nCan\u2019t you tell
\nWrinkles
\nI believe<\/p>\n
Dana took the mike to say \u201cWanna know how much fun we are having? We are having FUN!\u201d Talked about playing in the middle of the road, which was blocked off for the show. Mimicked a woman talking to her husband on a local shopping trip (TOO funny), and not to get excited that Jimmy changed his guitar in for a banjo, not to think about Deliverance and from there they did\u2026<\/p>\n
Bluegrass express
\nBanjo solo from Jimmy, then a duel with Dana & his bass guitar
\nMarty took a moment to put in a plug for Big Brothers & Big Sisters.<\/p>\n
Then they wrapped up their set with:
\nGod only cries (was bawling by mid-chorus thinking of Papa)
\nNorma Jean Riley
\nMeet in the middle (the crowd next to me was yelling for them to play it)
\nHow your love makes me feel<\/p>\n
They exited the stage, came back out with the encore of:
\nIn God we still trust
\n\u200b
\nThen to top it all off, my station was doing the concert after the concert playing Diamond Rio songs, so I called & said I was just at the show & wanted to hear How your love makes me feel, and they put me on the air & played it!!! I could not even get them to answer the phone this morning so I could talk to the guys for a minute before work, and not just this morning but almost every time I call it is the same thing, so I will probly be changing stations very soon. Gotta get pics up and get ready for bed so I can work tomorrow, thank goodness I don\u2019t go in \u2019til 11:15!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
