Stagecoach: Day one highlights

nick6.jpg

Did you miss yesterday's Stagecoach Country Music Festival?

Here are our Cliff's Notes:

The legend: Merle Haggard's perfect sunset set that reminded us about the real spirit of country music.

Most metal moment: Trampled By Turtles shredding the heck out of traditional acoustic instruments in the most raucous Mustang Stage performance ever.

Best disco groove: Sugarland rocking out to Blondie's "Heart of Glass."

Audience pleaser: Headliner Keith Urban gets off the Mane Stage and into the crowd.

Miss-Understood: Victoria Williams' brilliant eclectic set drowned out by annoying drunk people trying to find the port-a-potties.

Best use of an instrument: Phil Vassar not only plays the piano, he jumps on it and slides across it, too.

Where's Warped Tour: Tiger Army's Nick 13 makes his country debut with a stellar set that's a lot more country and a tiny bit rock 'n' roll.


Best service:
Cowboy poet Baxter Black gets a beer from an audience member delivered to him on stage.
