You should have been there

Kenny Chesney and Miranda Lambert Aug. 28 at Cruzan Amphitheatre

Chesney was drenched with sweat from the opening riff of The Poets and Pirates Tour. While he performed hits such as "No Shoes No Shirt No Problems" and "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," his rendition of the Steve Miller Band's "The Joker" with Lambert and Uncle Kracker took the house down. Chesney also performed a sweet extended version of "When the Sun Goes Down" with Kracker and "Drift Away." As beach balls bopped the most-inebriated audience members on the head, the scene on the lawn turned into a redneck version of Margaritaville. (Joanie Cox)
