Rowdy Friends Tour

I have wanted to see Hank Jr my whole life. Finally decided to fly across the country for a little vacation and music. This concert was AMAZING!! Hank Jr is Hank Jr and he is awesome! I want to mention I was also impressed with the RBC Center for sending me an email letting me know there was traffic to be expected because of the State Fair. This encouraged me to leave early and even though I sat in traffic for two hours, I made it to the concert on time. Okay, back to the concert review. Josh Thompson was good, his voice kind of reminds me of Steve Earle at time. I wasn't super familiar with Colt Ford, but he came out and rocked it. Jamey Johnson didn't disappoint. Overall it was a great concert!

Over all I would rate two areas. I thought the RBC Center location was a good one. The staff was exceptional in their helpfulness and in trying to retain control over the crowds. They have my highest respect. I did have a problem with the sound system. When the performers were talking, you could not understand much of what was being said. Some of the songs were better, but not of Excellent standard. Jamey Johnson was great. He was talented, professional and gave a great performance. Pleas have him back. I would come to see him anytime he is scheduled. Josh Thompson was good. He was talented, professonal and his performance was good. I would come to see him if he came back in a concert with another headliner. Colt Ford - Too abrasive for my taste. Did not like his music overall. Would not come back to see him. Hank Williams Jr. - What can you say? His performance was so-s and lack-luster. . For his abilities and talent his performance lacked a lot. I was disappointed. Would not come back to see him again. I respect him for his talent and that stands alone for him. His performance needs some improvement. But... He is Hank and I am sure he doesn't see it that way. Maybe I am just not Rowdy enough for his concerts. I will continue listening to his music, but will not see him in concert again.

The warm up groups were ok the sound was not very good. Hank williams Jr was great and did a good show but it was hard to hear much of what he was singing and saying not because of the crowd but the sound there was not very good. I really expected better. I not sure I would recommend this venue for a concert.

Would recommend if you really like country. First time seeing Josh Thompson and Jamey Johnson ( really loved the guitars). Hadn't seen Hank in 20 years - is really outspoken on his political views! Glad to see he backs what he sings!

I had the privilege of attending the Hank Williams, Jr. Rowdy Friends 2010 Tour at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center on October 1, 2010. He was quite entertaining and played a lot of his songs from the "That's How They Do It In Dixie - The Essential Collection" CD as well as a few Waylon Jennings tunes. I was amazed at how talented Hank Jr. is on a multitude of instruments. Of course we all knew he was a talented singer and guitar player. However, he played the piano in a Jerry Lee Lewis tribute and also the fiddle equally well. He had the audience eating out of his hand. Hank is a somewhat conceded and has strong opinions on being a southerner, his political views, and his background--but that is part of what makes us love him, and his music! I've played nothing but Hank Jr. music for three days following the concert.

Very Good Concert! Its was Rockin' Hank was at his Best

hank played all of his songs and much more! he played the fiddle, piano ~ with his boot~ both guitars! Blues man was fabulous!

If you want to go to a concert or your first concert.... this is the concert to go to. He really knows how to put on a show. Includes the audience and the other guys, Josh Thompson and Ford absolutely wonderful.

Good combo. Wish Jamie J. had played more. Wish Hank would have played more of his hit songs.

I really thought they would come out 2gether and play b/c i went 2 jamey johnson last year by himself and he was much better by himself!! HE IS A HEAD LINER!! I just cant believe Hank doesnt understand this!! I mean if you havent seen Hank b4 then it would have been great!!(I have seen hank 6 or 7 times) B/c Hank always puts on a great show BUT i went 2 see JJ not hank jr. SO HEADS UP OUT THERE IF YOU A JAMEY JOHNSON FAN WASNT WORTH IT B/C HE DIDNT PLAY BUT ABOUT 45 MINS BUT IF HANK JR FAN ENJOY IT B/C YOUR GONNA SEE ALOT MORE OF HIM THAN ANYTHING ELSE!!

The show was incredible. Josh Thompson is going to be a great musician. Colt Ford was entertaining--I don't care for his music, but he puts on a pretty good show. Jamie Johnson was unbelievable. And how can you go wrong with Hank Williams, Jr? The show lasted almost 4 1/2 hours (with breaks between artists, obviously) and was well worth the cost.

I had a great night with my friends and the atmosphere was great. However, music was so loud that the lyrics of the songs could not be understood!! Don't drown out the words....that's what we want to hear!!!

All the acts were great. Hank was bad ass as usual. It has been a while since the last time I saw him, but he didn't disappoint-really enjoyed it.

It was Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! We loved it!!!

I surprised my husband on his Birthday with this concert. We had never seen any of the groups before except on TV. We thought Jamie Johnson was interesting and Hank Williams Jr. was very entertaining. The only thing that was a real negative was the insensitive drunk people in the area we were sitting and our having to dodge the sloshing beer they kept waving around. We actually moved several times so we could watch the concert instead of the show they were putting on. Overall, we had enjoyed the concert.

The concert was good. I seen Jamey Johnson do better concerts than what he did that night. I never seen Josh Thompson or Colt Ford, but they were the best performing ones out of all of the.

All four performers were great, the set up times in between took alittle longer than I thought but it was worth the wait!!!

Josh Thompson was real good as well as Colt Ford.Jamey was the reason for going and was not disapointed just been better if he would been the headliner instead of Hank.

I would gladly pay the ticket price to see Jamey Johnson by himself. This is the second time I have seen his show. I will gladly see him again ASAP. He is a breath of fresh air compared to the other contemporary artist. He just plays and sings his music, no gimmicks or bell and whistles. The mark of a true artist. Have seen Eric Clapton many times and he is a lot like Clapton, lets his talent speak for itself. Best songwriter artist combination.

The show started at 7:00 with Josh Thompson, who was very good. Colt Ford and Jamey Johnson were pretty good as well, but Hank put on one hell of a show.

I got tickets to this concert for my son for his 15th birthday. He is a HUGE Bocephus fan. He had an awesome time. He thinks that Hank rocks!

We loved it. We was sore from dancing and hollering so much but it was awesome. best concert ever!!!

The show was great! Will return to see Hank again if he is the area! Great performer and gets the crowd pumped!

Great seats, great service from Ticketmaster. I recommend VIP to all, we were treated like royalty. Thank you.

this was an awesome concert. we had 30 people in our group and all of us really enjoyed the concert

Had a great time at the show. Colt Fort was great. We were very excited to see Jamey Johnson - however his performance was kind of boring and dull. However, Hank Jr. didn't disappoint. I have seen Hank in concert many times and this was one of his best.

Great show. I could have stayed and listened all night. Colt Ford was wonderful. Jamey Johnson is so genuine. And HANK JR. WOW!!! He rocked the house. He really put on a show, and I would love to see him again. We were entertained from 7:00 until almost MIDNIGHT!! It was great!

Only got to see the last 2 acts of the night due to the lousy traffic plans. The state fair was going on and the area had been designated as a park and ride. Piss poor planning! I was upset with the amount that I paid for "8" tickets and then having to apologize that not only did we miss the 1st 2 performances but the had to use the bathroom in the woods at night. The performances that we did see were really great!

Josh Thompson was good. Colt Ford put on a good show. Jamey Johnson can sing anything and just about did. He is best thing country music has seen in a long time. Hank has become too political. He needs to choose to sing or run for office. People pay their hard earned money to have a good time at his shows and hear him sing not listen to his political views.

I go to a lot of live shows and have seen some big names, country, rock, you name it. Hank williams Jr. puts them all to shame. This guy had the entire crowd right in the palm of his hand. His energy is amazing. He played all instruments on the stage and was equally great at them all! Top notch!! Unfortunatley the same cannot be said for Jamie Johnson. This was the second time I have seen him, he was bad both times. I like his music just fine but he is not good at all live. He just kind of stands in one spot and every song sounded just like the one before it. Colt Ford is worth seeing again.

The concert was great but the traffic was horrendous!!!! We left in time to be there at 5:30 but since the state fair was at the same place we were stuck in traffic for almost 2 hours. By the time we got parked & got to our seats Josh Thompson had already played & got off the stage. He was one of the artists we were looking most forward to seeing so we feel like we were short-changed. We enjoyed the rest of the concert but were very disappointed that we did not get to see Josh Thompson. We also feel like Colt Ford & Jamie Johnson didn't play long enough. They only played for about 30 min each but Hank Williams Jr. was awesome! He rocked the stage the whole time he was on it. We would definitely go again but not if it is scheduled along with another big event. If traffic wasn't so bad & we could have seen all 4 artists we would definitely have given this event a 5-star rating. We also felt like the line-up was backwards. Jamie Johnson was very slow and should have started the show and ended his part with a more up-beat song.

I have never seen hank, but I now know why he is known as "The Entertainer". I was really impressed how he got the crowd going and that he sang all of my favorite OLD songs from the 70's and early 80's. I thought I would never hear these songs at a concert. My husband has seen Hank over 20 times and is a huge fan. He was also impressed that Hank sang these songs. We went to this concert really to see Jamey Johnson, because we have seen him 3 times this year alone and he is an awesome singer. We would have liked to have seen him sing more. The RBC Center is a great concert venue and we have seen Eric Clapton there a few months ago. Our seats were okay, would have liked closer ones, but for the price, it was good. The Raleigh Fair was going on at the same time, so traffic was a bit crowded, but we had a great time and will return to the RBC Center.

I'm sure the hole concert would have been great had I seen all the performers . Only saw Jamey Johnson perform 4 songs,saw all of Hank totally missed colt ford and Josh Thompson thanks to the traffic mess in raleigh was in traffic over 3 hours sat on the exit ramp over an hour , missed over half the concert and will never go back to the RBC for another concert . If your going to have all these events u need to get it together town of Raleigh !! Still pissed!

I LOVED the concert, but it seemed like the sets were not long enough! I do wish that Hank Jr. would have sang some of his older stuff, and sang the songs all the way through. His talent is absolutely incredible! I did enjoy the show though! Very much!

Josh Thompson really got the party started ! Never had heard of him but glad to know him now. Loved his music. Jamey Johnson was his usual laid back self ,not really a showman but he can get away with it cause he is strong in song. A J J fan from the start ! To be honest I thought Hank Jr was an impersonator when took the stage. I have see him several times & I guess time has taken a toll. Love his music !!

The show was awesome! All four acts were great. Loved hank Jr. guitar riffs, playing walk this way, and his closing song with Jamey and Colt. Jamey is a favorite, could listen to him sing all night long. Colt Ford and Josh were both great.

The only drawback to this concert was Colt Ford, I'm sorry RAP is NOT COUNTRY! Didn't like him, won't go see him again. The rest of the performers were outstanding, I had the best time I've had in years.

This was a bad a** event and I could have rocked with the guys ALL NIGHT!!!!! I have grown up on hank and he is the best and alway will be!!!!

We left early for the show but unfortunately traffic was horrible and we sat in line at the exit to go 1.7 miles for 2.5hrs. Due to the state fair going on at the same time the concert was. So therefore we missed Colt Ford and Josh Thompson. Majority of the crowd missed them so I felt out of courtesy for the fans that Colt Ford should have come back out either in between Jamey and Hank or at the end.

The concert was great, what I saw of it. We missed Colt Ford and Josh Thompson because of the terrible traffic. I live 49 miles from RBC. I left my home at 5:15 pm and finally arrived at RBC at 8:30. This is ABSURD! State Fair traffic is no excuse. If you can't handle the traffic, don't plan an event at the same time as the fair. Hank Jr. and Jamey Johnson were awesome!! Would go again, but not at RBC!

The sound effects were not good in the RBC Center. Could not understand what they were singing.

Had a blast...They all put on a great performance. Hope to see them in 2011.

Our ( Me, Jared, Paul,Nikki, Trisha, Jessica,Steven, Micah ) experience with the Hank Williams, Jamey Johnson , Colt Ford and Josh Thompson was the BEST !! My only complaint is that trying to get to the concert was HORRID, we booked a hotel with in about 5 minutes of the RBC Center, the concert started at 7pm so we planned on being there early, leaving about 5:40pm......we waited in traffic until 8:45 we completely missed Josh Thompson and Colt Ford, arrived just in time to see Jamey Johnson coming on stage, needless to say Raleigh should think twice before booking a concert like this at the same time a PLACE that they are having the state fair, come on now!!!!!!!!! We still had a blast....but it was very upsetting getting there so late and not having time to enjoy walking around etc. ...........

Well this is the second concert I have seen at the RBC center I saw Hank Jr a few years ago there. The concert sucked and far as sound quality for everyone before Hank. Then when He came on I could hear him pretty good. I could not understand 85% of what everybody else was singing and I had good seats one level up from the floor and to the right of the stage. I don't think I will go back to the RBC center for any other concerts.

I am old........been to a lot of concerts...this rates as one of the best ever....what a great group of rowdy friends...Bocephus was amazing....great energy......The true wagonmaster for all his rowdy friends!!!!!!!! 5 stars plus! ************************Love, Love....Loved it!!!

My dad and i attended the Rowdy Friends tour with Hank Williams Jr, and it was amazing

Loved it!! Good ol' country boys. Ain't nuttin better!

the 3hours it took to reach the RBC center from Glenwood Ave. started the night out on a low. Straight misreable experince getting to concert, and arrived late missing the first artist. Note: to all never attend any event in Raleigh while the fair is here. The concert was okay. enjoyed the rest of the show.

It was wonderful.I really enjoyed it when hank was playing the fiddle

over all awsome show. Jamey Johnson was out of this world! Hank would be 50% better if he would sing a song all the way thru. He was still amazing.

was an AWESOME concert. however the RBC center needs to get their act together. the entire place smelled of rotten eggs. ugh! besides the smell colt ford jamey johnson and hank were amazing. loved josh thompson too!

Driving 8hrs from FL to NC just to see this concert was worth every penny. Jamey blew my mind w/ the song list he chose and seeing Hank was unforgettable. What a show all the boys put on.

IT WAS A TOTTALLY AWESOME SHOW. HANK JR. ROCKED THE PLACE. BEST SHOW IN A WHILE.

Show was awesome. Hated the fact that everyone stands up and I can't see cause I am so short. Too many drunks threw up and passed out. Yuck! Staff was awesome cleaning up and trying to control the crowds.

show was okay, hank kept jumping around and only played a couple songs through... hank was somewhat sporadic, throwing the band off at times

This was a really good show. Jamey Johnson is very talented. I wanted more of Hank, though.

I have always loved Hank Williams Jr. The concert was amazing!!!! I was very impressed!!!!! I am all about some country music! Everyone was great!

The show actually started a few minutes early...and that is unheard of. It was absolutely awesome.

i am so glad i went to the show. i missed the first half due to terrible traffic delays but i didn't miss hank jr. i have been to a lot of older acts and some are just not as great as they were. i was amazed at the talent that hank jr still displays, he played almost every note of every song and really seemed to be totally involved with the audience. it was a great show and i would recommend anyone that gets a chance, catch the show.

Hank and company are the real deal; The artists and their music. No glitz and glamour theatricals like some of the newer "pop country". Not many opportunities left to see a legend of this caliber. If you get the chance...GO!!

This show was great...Josh was good... Colt Ford was a great start to an awesome show...Got the crowd going... Jamey Johnson is always top on my list of artist to see in concert...Wanted to hear more of his songs from his new CD but whatever Jamey sings is tops in my books..Thanks to Jamey for bringing that old country vibe back...Something you can relate to and sing to... Hank Jr...has still got it going on...He got us all crazy on the floor....We loved it!!!!

Probably the best live performance I have ever seen (and I am 66). The three warm-up acts were so good, several of us wondered if Hank Jr could meet our expetations. He blew us all away! He seemed to be having fun and showed a vast diversity of talent! This was a show I would want to have recorded to play again and again

Absolutely great concert. Would go again. The only thing was the traffic because of the fair, football game, but the concert itself was right on. Love Hank.

I was a little disappointed in Jamey Johnson and Colt Ford. I had seen both of them in concert before and they were much better the first time. Especially Jamey. He didn't sing a lot of his good songs. I was most impressed with Josh Thompson.

The Rowdy Friends Tour was unforgettable. I hate to see it end. Josh Thompson started the show off with a bang. Colt Ford was amazing. Jamey Johnson was unbeleivably good. And Hank gave the best show I had seen. This show was my birthday present, and I have to say it was the best birthday present I could have received.

Unfortunately we were caught in State Fair traffic - waited on exit ramp for 2 hours - missed Colt Ford & Josh Thompson - two of the four artists I have not seen - Jamie Johnson and Jr. were off the chain, accustics were great, but paid more$$ for club seats and they were very far away - I have been in RBC center for other events and large screens were used. Jamie and Jr. looked like ants. would go again but would pick different seats.

Great lineup, great performances, great venue. I would go back to see them no questions asked. I will also return to RBC for future events!

Been to to Hank 26 times this topped them all. Josh Thompson and Colt Ford were great opening acts. Jamey Johnson was awsome as usual, best entertainer in music today. I had gotten my moneys worth by then, and Hank was still to come. He is the GREATEST Musician and Entertainer EVER. He knows how to work the crowd.

It was a great event. I had never been to the RBC center before. I had great seats.

I loved everyone of the acts and our tickets were pretty good. My only complant was when Jamie Johnson came out and where he sat on the stage and the setting of the speakers we could not see him until he moved around. but other than that - it was awesome!

The opening acts did a GREAT job. Colt Ford really got the crowd going and Jamey Johnson was pretty good. Hank Sucked! You couldn't understand a word of what he was singing and he kept changing his hat over and over again... whats with that?

Show was great, all I could ask for was a little more from Jamey Johnson and Hank!! We really did think that they would have come back and sang another set. I did think that there was suppose to be a jumbotron and there was not one in operation.

The concert was awesome. Hank really puts on a great show.

Hi: Everybody put on a good show. Hank is in a league by himself. He rocked out. Later

it was good but wish hank would have sang his songs all the way thru instead of bits and pieces of all of them

This was one of the best concerts we'veattended as all the groups were fandamntastic. Each of them gave it a 110% and if they ever come back to this area, we will go to see them. Jr. was great and everything we heard he would be in providing the greatest of shows to his fans. The fiddler player for Colt Ford, Suzanne Rohrer was absolutely the most astounding fiddler we have ever heard. Jamey as Jamey always is, was great. Please let us know if they are ever scheduled back in Southaven, whether together or separately.

THIS WAS A GREAT CONCERT, WHY WOULDN'T BE HANK JR . WAS THERE , HE COULD'VE PLAYED AN HOUR OR SO LONGER AND DID MORE OF HIS OLDER SONGS LIKE : YOUNG COUNTRY , JAMBALIA , CAJUN BABY , THESE ARE 3 I COULD THINK OF RIGHT OFF HAND BUT HE'S GOT A LOT IN HIS ARSENAL . BUT I KNOW IT'S HUNTING SEASON I THROUGHLY ENJOYED IT .

i love it i took my husband for his birthday an we had a blast.jamie johnson colt ford where the greatest an of course hank was the man of the show.so going hate that yhis is his last tour

This was the fourth time seeing Hank and he just gets better and better. He played for a long time and there was never a dull moment. Jamey Johnson was great and ended with a hymn like I had never heard it sound before. Colt Ford was an act I never seen and would like to see again as well. This was a great show and money worth spent.

Hank Jr. rocked the stage!!! His age did not hinder his performance at all! The only complaint I have is that Jamey Johnson didn't interact with the crowd much, but Hank and Colt Ford more than made up for it!!

For my first time seeing Hank live, I thought it was great. I didn't have any expectations for any of the performers going into the concert so I really didn't have an opportunity to be let down. The opening acts were good, but short. I wasn't familiar with the first group and I really didn't care for Colt Ford. In my opinion, they could cut one or both of them and lengthen Jamey Johnson's performance. That's about the only thing that would improve this show.

Awesome concert!!! Loved Jamey, Colt and Hank!!! Would have liked to have more songs from these three than the first two bands that I didn't know.

The concert was awesome! Colt Ford did an outstanding performance. Jamey Johnson..."You should have seen it in color"...He was the BOMB...& Hank did an outstanding performance also.....The whole concert was great....Would love to see them again for sure.

The concert was really good, but there were no screens to show the artists faces. If you didn't have seats just right up by them, you really didn't get to see them.

This was an unforgettable show. I absolutely had a blast. All of the performers did a great job. My only regret is that I didn't purchase higher priced tickets to get closer to the stage. I wish I could have met Hank, Jamey, Colt, and Josh. I would recommend this concert to anyone and would attend it again tomorrow if they were playing the same venue. Hank was AMAZING!!! Must see show. Can't wait for the next one.

I paid to hear Hank sing his songs, not to hear him sing everyone else s songs. I thought that the music was good, no doubt, but I was a little disappointed in how he would start singing one song and then start on another without finishing the first one he started! It was more like an act instead of him just getting up there and doing what he does best - singing his songs the way they were written. And his guitar was a little to loud to where it was hard to understand his words.

Hank jr was awesome, would love to go see him again if he came close! Best concert I've been to in a long time!

Hank Williams, Jr is a country legend and puts on an awesome show. But; don't think you are going to a Kid Rock show! Hank's a conservative southerner and so are most of his southern fans. He made fun of Kid Rock and Ted Nugent (I think) but, heck, they've ripped him off.

Jamey Johnson did good. No complaints. Hank Jr was not at all what I expected. He didn't play much old stuff & did to much of the guitar playing & he changed the words to the few old songs he did sing. Lets just say Im glad I got the cheap tickets & didn't pay any more then I did for them. Not at all what I expected it to be. I LOVE Hank Jr but I won't be paying to see him again.

I loved Hank!! I love his political views and the time he sat and sang!

started out okay colt ford and jamey johnson were good then hank came out i hadn't seen him since 1981 at the same venue he was outstanding played every instrument out there even let his band break while he played on in a saints jersey no less he is the consummate entertainer and always will be outstanding nothing less

Even if Hank Wiliams, Jr was the headline Jamey Johnson stole the show.

The concert, overall, was fine. The line-up was good, the venue was alright- it was an interesting experience. But the sound was, at times, very distorted. It made it hard to hear the words of the song, and when they would do guitar solos, it was like they weren't even playing the same song. The people working at the venue were pretty nice and helpful- at first. After awhile, though, they weren't around to be be found- and there was things that needed to be addressed- people just standing in aisles, stealing other people's seats, spilling beer all over the place. Overall- I'm glad I went- and would recommend this any Hank Jr fan.

This was to die for. Good performances but Colt Ford and Hank showed out.

beer line was too long. missed all of jamey johnson. josh thompson i would not go see again.

I was on the 3rd row and had a blast. I would recommend this show if you want to have a good time singing,dancing, and drinking a lot hahaha.

Hank Jr. was at his best!!! Colt Ford was awesome but did not get to perform enough of his songs. Didn't care for Josh Thompson at all. Liked the 2 songs he has on radio but his performance on the other ones wasn't that great. Should have given Colt his time!!! Jamey Johnson gave a great performance!!! They turned on the fog machine too much while he was performing so pics were not good and couln't see him so good even though our seats were on the floor cause of the smoke machine issue. That was the arena's fault!!! Hank came out and gave a great performance! I've seen him several times and this was one of the best. He rocked the crowed with most of his old songs!! And yes, it's true, he was sober!!! Most people don't believe it when i say it!!!

Hank Jr. lacks in the entertainment department nowadays, he needs to be himself. Sometimes keeping up with the times is not a good thing. Colt Ford & Jamey Johnson were OK but could have been better.

The Concert - itself - was great! I had been to 5 other Hank Jr Concerts over the years. This one would rank as #3 out of the 6. There are several reasons this one ranked "middle of the pack." 1. It started before the listed start time. 2. It was too long and drawn out - before Hank Jr came on. 3. When Hank came out - he didn't stay long enough or flow like he used to! 4. The seating was HORRIBLE!! 5. Food and Drinks WAY TOO HIGH! 2 Dr. Peppers 1 Skittels & 1 M&Ms were $14.00 - that's highway robbery! 6. Parking coming in was great, however, leaving was something else. Should have been more Security or Police directing traffic. It was like a free-for-all - great escape!

seats were great and the show was amanzing! hank was as good as always
