![]() ![]() But Paisley's shows are never boring, because he's always doing something to engage his fans. Throughout his 22 songs, Paisley multitasked in singing and snapping selfies with the audience members, almost to a distracting degree. Most of his songs were rock-oriented, but he dived into sway-inducing songs like the schlocky "Waitin' on a Woman" the honky-tonkish "I'm Gonna Miss Her" "Remind Me," his duet with Carrie Underwood, who actually appeared onstage as a hologram and sang with him and the slightly cloying yet feel-good "This Is Country Music," where he paid tribute to past and current country greats in a video montage that included a dedication to George Jones, who died last year. ![]() "We got three months of this," Paisley told the crowd. ![]() Since June 21 marks the summer solstice, his "Beat This Summer" song - and accompanying visuals of a Viewfinder and beaches - jibed swimmingly. "Welcome to the weekend, Cincinnati!" Paisley yelped as he played "American Saturday Night," coupled with Captain America images floating on screen. Immediately, the booze-addled crowd kicked up their cowboy boots and danced to the rambling tune. Wearing his signature Stetson, Paisley began the show with a new song called "Moonshine in the Trunk" from his forthcoming album of the same name. He proclaimed Riverbend as one of the best venues that he has ever played, mainly because he grew up on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River and had fond childhood memories there.ĭuring his almost two-hour set, Paisley and his bluegrass backup band entertained the crowd with songs about booze and celebrity culture, and somehow beamed Carrie Underwood to Cincinnati. Rabble-rouser singer and "Rising Star" mentor Brad Paisley returned to the swampy confines of Riverbend Music Center on Friday night to help usher in the official launch of summer. ![]()
