Rascal Flatts...Good, but not what I expected!
by slbl on 2009-10-28Rexall Place - EdmontonRating: 3 out of 5I was SO excited about this concert...I have been waiting to see Rascal Flatts for about 8 years, so when the tickets became available...I was there!
The concert started off pretty great Darius Rucker was a wonderful opening act!
Once the Rascal Flatts came on...they started out pretty good...but then for some reason Gary left the stage...and Joe Don & Jay continued with a "Down Home" themed medley of song. They did a great job of what I can only assume was improvising because of one missing "member", it was 20 minutes of "Where's Gary"?? Though the guys have great voices, Gary is the real power house, and when he left the stage...it was a little blah.
Gary came back after the "medley", and got right back into the show....but seemed a little off for the rest of the night.
Joe Don is great on Guitar, and Jay is really into chatting with the crowd....but considering the size of the stage....they really didn't make great use of the catwalk portion. They only played for about 1hour and 20 minutes, and left out ALOT of their great songs....
I guess if you like them, it is a show worth seeing, but for anyone who is a hard core fan (Like me), you may leave feeling a little deflated.
