I spent many sleepovers listening to Shania\u2019s music with my friends (they\u2019d always ask me to bring it with) so I was pretty well familiar with 99% of the set list. I was in the same section I had for Garth except I was a few rows higher up at the other end of the section. Mom went as well but we had split seats. I was relieved that nobody left their seat once Shania came on, didn\u2019t get another chair bruise on my leg.<\/p>\n
Gavin DeGraw kicked off the show about 7:45 ish. There was a little glitch and some of the lights were still on when he came out & started performing on the piano. I only recognized the chorus to \u201cChariot\u201d and a good chunk of \u201cHeaven\u201d. He was on for about an hour.\u00a0About halfway through his set he left the stage & walked around the outer skirts of where the floor meets the lower level seats & took a few selfies with fans.<\/p>\n
Finally around 9:00 it was time for Shania! This was my first experience seeing her in person and she did not disappoint with lots of pyro, flames, lights, floating saddle, costume changes and a killer set list of her best known songs. The glitter at the end added another pop of fun. It was the mother of all shows in my opinion.<\/p>\n
That is the biggest fringe I have ever seen! First song was \u201cRock this country\u201d.\u00a0Once the fringe coat came off the sparkly red outfit was revealed.\u00a0Shania also wanted a \u201cbetter look\u201d at us so she got on a cart that took her around the same path that Gavin walked.<\/p>\n
Another change of clothes (band performed instrumental Shania music) and then\u00a0Gavin returned to duet on \u201cParty for two\u201d<\/p>\n
Then it was time for the floating stage saddle. Since she couldn\u2019t bring a horse in she just had the saddle to sit on. She looked pretty comfortable on it. I\u2019ve seen this effect before in the documentary of what would have been Michael Jackson\u2019s tour and also at Taylor Swift\u2019s Red tour. Shania put her own stamp on it with the saddle.<\/p>\n
Then she proceeded into \u201cToday is your day\u201d which was about the only song I didn\u2019t really know well so I gave my voice a break and enjoyed her.<\/p>\n
One last outfit change with another band instrumental. She walked out on the runway enough for me to get some nice photos.\u00a0Red hot boots!<\/p>\n
Everybody left the stage for the standing ovation. She came back to encore \u201cMan, I feel like a woman\u201d with the pop of glitter at the end.

\nSo now I\u2019m recovering from this while I amp up for Diamond Rio in Fargo this Friday! I will definitely be resting up this weekend, gonna put the \u201cDo not disturb\u201d on my door. It\u2019s been a long, eventful, crazy, insanely fun month! I\u2019ll remember this while I\u2019m snowed in at my new apartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
