Kenny Chesney - Foxboro, Boston 7/23/05
After a rather lengthy video introduction, Chesney tapped into the crowd's energy with "Keg in the Closet" and squeezed as many songs as possible into the set list. Highlights included a dirty-dancin' duet with Gretchen Wilson on John Mellencamp's "Hurts So Good" and the Boston footage he incorporated into "Back Where I Come From." You just can't dispute your celebrity status anymore when they let you poke your head out of the scoreboard at Fenway Park. Above all others, Chesney appeared to be having the best time ever, hesitating only to soak up the scenery. It's one thing to play a stadium on your home turf -- as he did in Knoxville, Tenn., in 2003 -- but quite another to not have a home field advantage. He did, however, namedrop the New England Patriots, which brought quite a roar -- only somewhat more raucous than when he asked, "Is anybody here from Rhode Island?" from Craig Shelburne, CMT.com

Keith Urban was there too...
