Great night of Gary Allan music
by KerryG on 2011-05-15Casino Rama - OrilliaRating: 4 out of 5Gary sang and his band played from 9:15 to 10:45pm, including one encore. Afterwards, he stayed on stage to sign autographs.
The images behind the stage seemed to be his videos overlaid with psychodelic shapes - interesting and not as distracting as videos alone can be! There was incense burning.
Gary sang songs from his entire career, including his first recording. Nice that he indicated a few songs he'd written with his long-time friend and guitarist in the band. Gary and Jaime Hanna sang a couple songs just by themselves.
Gary wasn't involved in any guitar 'jam', as he was with Keith Urban when they appeared together at Toronto's Air Canada Centre a few years ago. Instead, his very capable band members did the jamming.
It was a loud, high-energy night - very satisfying!
