Are cameras allowed at the concerts? I know sometimes they are not, I'm heading to Milwaukee tonight and want to make sure!

It was Great!! our seats were less than 20' from the round platform where she landed with her moon. We were a couple rows off the floor just right(her left) of center. Very happy with seats and when Martina "flew" on the moon to the platform she was like a angel on wings. She sang several songs on the platform and after, she worked her way around the crowd back to the stage. It wasn't a sprint to the stage either, she sang at least a full song during, and hugged or shook hands with her adoring fans all the way back.
Best concert I've been to(if not a bit loud). Trace was great(I admit previously my wife and I had no idea who he was) but most of his songs were very familiar and were great. What other concert can you go to and hear classic country, Carrie Underwood(Cowboy Casanova), Van Halen and AC/DC among the pre concert songs
Since we had not been to a MM concert before both my wife and I noted the following: Trace was so large and was setup in the first 30? feet of the stage. After they tore down his stage and Martina opened she was in the farrrr back top of her stage behind the band. We could hardly see her and my first thought was how small she looked compared to Trace. To our joy she quickly made her way down to the front of the stage where stayed for the rest of her performance, still small in stature but very powerful in voice!
One great concert

BTW for anyone interested in the running times:
Trace- 1hr followed by 5 minute encore
35 minutes to tear down his stage and set up Martinas.
1hr 20 minute Martina followed by 10 minute encore.
Total show 3hrs 10 minutes (of which was 2hrs 35 minutes of singing).
Very much worth our ticket price, one full night of singing.

re: cameras, while there were signs abound and they even mentioned it on the PA I bet 1 out of 4 people had a camera(including me). I forced my flash off(makes better pictures anyway) but most people didn't
I think unless you bring a big 35mm w/telescoping lens you should be ok. Everybody seemed to be patted down by security but I guess the didn't feel my camera on my belt(could seem like a cell phone which many people were using for photos).

I thought Trace did an awesome job,but was dissapointed that he never sang Arlington. He could have sang that last instead of the awful song he sang at the very end.Martina was awesome,altough she sounded different,not sure if it was the sound system or what it was. I truly thought this tour would have sold the Xcel out,but it didn't even sell half the center.You can truly tell how hard the times are for people. Although TM had seats available for $10 that were way up in the bleachers.It was a very good concert!

I loved this show. It was one of the best that I have seen. Especially from front row! I love Martina's new hair cut and her outfit was awesome! It was a GREAT night. My only disappointment was that the meet n greet was so quick and they only allowed one picture and the picture I got taken with Martina didn't turn out so good, of me that is. Oh well, it is still cool that I actually have a picture with her! Thanks Martina!

I took my best friend to this concert with me. It was the very first Martina concert she has ever been to. She knows I love Martina but I don't think she really understood why until last night. Half way through the concert she turned to me and told me that she would be going to any other Martina concerts that I am going to be going to. She even mentioned going to other states to do it. I think she is hooked for life. Another enlightened one. Though there really wasn't any doubt in my mind that she wouldn't be after seeing her live.

I personally loved the concert. It has to be one of the best that I have gone to. I think Martina is like fine wine...She just gets better with age.

I saw Trace in August at our county fair...he awesome as usual but he also didn't "Arlington" at that concert either, or his newest single. As bummed as I was that he wasn't with her in Moline, I am glad I got to see him in August. Glad you all had fun!

I agree with everyone and thought the concert was absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't stop thinking about it and I had such a good time!! I had an awesome view from the fourth row and she totally rocked the house!!! Unbelievable...and I am so glad that Trace acknowleged that no matter what the CMA's say, Martina will always be the female vocalist!!! :)

I loved this show as well. I've been to many Martina concerts over the years and I believe this might have been the best one!!! Her vocals were amazing and I loved when she flew over the crowd and then sang a few songs from the middle of the arena. I thought I'm Trying was done beautifully and thouroughly enjoyed the entire show. She never disappoints.
