Zac Brown Band was in Denver at Fiddler’s Green for two nights. We saw him on the second night which turned out to be a lucky choice. The first night was colder and a little stormy. The second night was beautiful weather, the concert was great!
Stergill Simpson opened for him with a 1 hour set of country rock. He was great, his guitar player, Joe was awesome. It was hard to believe all that music was coming from just him. I think it was given the change ups and rifting. Either way, they have talent!
I like Zac Brown’s acoustic and string talent. Its definitely more than a vocal talent. It kind of brings you back to the country-rock talent of the 70’s. He even played a Marshal Tucker tune, “Can’t You See” with a lot of soul! Stergill Simpson and Joe joined him to lead the guitar and vocals for this song. It was rocking’, great performance. Zac Brown did all his hits, in the middle, he broke into an acoustic set displaying the talent, steel guitar, violin, base and acoustic guitar. The highlight of the first set was their rendition of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb. Clay Cook led the vocals, the sound was full, it wasn’t a country version, it was full on guitar led rock ’n roll.
The second set started with the Charlie Daniels Band song, The Devil Went Down To Georgia. They performed the song on the CMA’s a couple years ago, and almost better than the original! he did most of his hits in the second set and there was a lot of sing alongs. The encore started with spooky music filling the gap time and the band coming out in skeleton costumes playing a song I recognized but I don’t know every one of their songs. They finished with a song I definitely know, Chicken Fried. Two and a half hours of rockin’ fun! Great performance!
