Show Notes: I had not planned to go to this show as I was never a huge Dixie Chicks fan but got given free tickets at the last minute for this show, so I thought what the hell, and I really enjoyed it! A highly entertaining show, a very enthusiastic crowd, and some great covers made for a very enjoyable show, even if I was right at the back of the arena and wasn't familiar with every song. Natalie told us this was their first ever performance of Something In The Air which was cool to get (replaced Nothing Compares to U which has been played on the rest of their Australian dates). The Chicks have a new fan!
Recording Notes: A really great recording, I'm really happy with the way this one came out. If you enjoy this band you will enjoy listening to my recording, great sound, minimal talking (a few hoots and hollers but nothing too bad), I highly recommend a download if you're a fan, or even if you're not like me you might surprise yourself. Enjoy!
