Reba!!!!!
Sooo.... My birthday is coming up, and my mom knew how much I wanted to go to a concert here in Buffalo, so she got me tickets to see Reba McEntire, George Strait, and Lee Ann Womack on October 16, 2010 at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY!!!!!
It was such an incredible night on so many different levels! I got to meet two new friends and have a good time sitting with them and singing along to some amazing music! The night started with Lee Ann, then Reba, then George. AMAZING!!!
Lee Ann Womack was the opener.... and to be honest, I didn't know many of her songs, but after seeing/hearing her live, I am more of a fan.... She can really belt out a song!! Damn!! Hahaha. :) She performed for about half an hour to forty-five minutes, and was definitely killing it the whole time!!!
The night ended with George Strait.... and man oh man can he "rock them wranglers" (hehehe). I was never that big on George. He has always had some songs that I liked, but I was never really a "follower" of his, so to speak. He was on for almost two hours, and I am so amazed by him after seeing him live.... Incredible!!!
But the one that I was the most excited to see was definitely Reba (in case the title of the blog here didn't give that away hahaha)!!! I don't even know if I can put her set into words, and be able to do it justice. She was AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, and all around WONDEFUL!!!!! She killed each song, and was even brought to tears a few times by her songs, and the crowd that gave her numerous standing ovations! This was my first time seeing Reba in concert, and she was worth every penny, and then some. It was an almost sell out crowd inside the arena, and people were screaming their heads off for Miss Reba. :)
As if seeing Reba, George, and Lee Ann wasn't enough, Reba brought along a few special guests!!! Melissa Peterman came out and did a comedy sketch with Reba when she performed "I'm A Survivor" (the theme of the Reba sitcom). She was awesome, and definitely the crowd pleaser!!! You would think that would be plenty of star power, but Reba had another trick up her sleeve. After she performed "Does He Love You" (which she sang with Lee Ann Womack), she started right away with "Because Of You" and when Kelly's verse started, Kelly Clarkson came out!!!!! The crowd went INSANE!!! Reba and Kelly sang "Because Of You", "Why Haven't I Heard From You", and Kelly's hit song "Walk Away". AMAZING!!!!
We had 7th row seats (it was a center stage) and Reba, George, and Lee Ann definitely left us wanting more, even after a four and half hour show!!!!!!!!! I sure hope they come back to Buffalo soon.... especially Reba!!!

Hey girl!!!
Reba has been my favorite since 1993! She was the FIRST country concert I saw when I moved here to NC!!! She was AMAZING! I had terrible seats that night, but I did not care, she blew the roof off the place! I also saw her a few years ago when Joe Nichols and Brad Paisley opened for her! You are definitely right...she DOES leave you wanting more!!! I am not really a fan of George, but I do LOVE Lee Ann! I am so glad you had a good time! :) I would KILL to have been in the 7th row for Reba!!! WOW!! Awesome! When they came here, the tickets were too expensive for me, and I *REALLY* wanted to go!!! Maybe next time! Glad you had fun! :)
