Keith Urban Concert!!! (with Lady Antebellum!)

So I just got back from this AMAZING concert!!! I have never been to a concert before, so it was pretty awesome for my first one to be in Australia...and it was probably the best concert I could have gone to! It was so incredible, I got tons of photos and video footage, which I will be making into a DVD for sure! :) The first to perform was Lady Antebellum for the first half hour or so. They were beyond amazing. Theya re such a talented group and I love all their songs. Usually singers find it more difficult to sound good live, but to be honest I think that they sound BETTER! Keith Urban was epic as well...plus he is one gorgeous man! Who wouldn't be in love with a man who sings country music?? :P This was most definitely the best night I have had in Australia since I got here, and the best kickoff to my two week break I could ask for. I had so much fun with my friend Lucy, who is also a huge Keith Urban fan, more than me for sure. But we had so much fun singing along :) We both definitely lost our voices from this night. I bought a Keith Urban t-shirt as well...it was a little pricey but totally worth it. Keith actually made his way aroung the entire entertainment center throughout the concert and they werre throwing out guitar pics and drumsticks to the crowd the whole time. Lucy and I were two seats away from the aisle, so when he walked by he actually threw his pick to a guy nearby...hwe didn't catch it but Lucy immediately went over and picked it up because it was just laying there. So she got a guitar pick and it says his name on it!!! HOW COOL! He also autographed his guitar right in the middle of a song and GAVE it to a guy right next to him! AMAZING! I so wanted to be that guy! The concert was twice as special because Keith Urban is Australian and he grew up in a town in Queensland called Caboolture (which I have been to)... so it felt cool to see how much he loved his homeland :) The whole experience was unbelievable and I wouldn't trade it for anything else!  BEST EVER!!! :D
