Tim McGraw - thoughts.... Did he have a clue he was at Stagecoach???

[Damnwhataride]

I've rarely seen a headliner so disconnected from the audience. He actually didn't know where he was or what the event was - although he knew he was in California and had a long plane ride back tonight. IMO the performance was half hearted at best - and at worst he looks like he partied too much before starting the set. Sad compared to last years finish!

I thought the Eagles was the low point of a major headliner just playing their normal set - great graphics - low energy accept you could tell they didn't really like each other - but knew where they were and how to do their job - McGraw set a new standard for where am I and how do I get out of here quicker - His set started almost 20 min late - yet he 'finished' at the time scheduled. The earlier part of the evening tonight was nothing sort of outstanding .....

just a late night after two hours of driving ramble....

Yes i would have to agree. Tim was not on his game. Totally dissappointed, was really looking forward to him. And that thought that I could have gotten a few more hours of shut eye if I had known that he was gonna just go through the motions, not to mention, not knowing the words to his songs and singing the same verse TWICE.

Overall though, the weekend was great!!! Can't wait to find out who they dig up for next year

I agree that Tim was not on his game...I have seen him several times and he was not himself. Before everyone starts condeming him though, he is human and from where we were sitting, we all thought he looked like he was fighting a cold or maybe allergies! His voice was off when he spoke and then the other things that were mentioned. There was so much, what looked like sand and dust, coming from behind the stage and I would imagine because of the wind it was tough on the performers. Tim seems to be such a professional, that I would wait to throw such stones...but that is just my opinion.

I agree about the Eagles. They could have phoned that one in. I'm a long time Eagle fan and have flown all the way to Scotland just to see them perform. Friday was a major disappoint for this fan. Absolutely no interaction with the audience. Every move seemed by rote. Maybe there was something going on behind the scenes. Wasn't the usual majic that's for sure.

Guess he would have started sooner if both Underwood and himself would have been less concerned about the photographers not shooting first song set....
I think Big and rich were the only ones that had an opener and went on long to create a back up ....

Wow the line to get in to take photos was fun....
Actually a great crowd just trying to do there job....
The highlights had to be the girl telling us she was Jenny Craig's daughter and she should be able to get in before any photographers...
That was hyestrical...
Guess you had to be there....lol

[koalababy]

Well I enjoyed all the acts and yes we all have our days.......the only thing I didn't get was that tim waved - no encore on the final night???? and alsooooooooooo maybe that jenny craig daughter was the same bimbette that needed to push people out of the way at the dwight yoakum show - sad day that some people thing they are sooooooo awesome they should be rude to others!! Think maybe next year should be only full weekend tickets - keep out some of the riftraff!!!!!!!!!! Overall the crowd was well behaved but did notice the police were working a bit harder then last year ~smile~ Thank you officers!!

You are so right..
Another classic was the lady I said excuse me to having no other way out but to ask politely if I could step over her purse she so politely place in front of her so no one could walk out of her isle....
After saying excuse me please may I step over your purse to exit..
She so stoutly stated that this was not an exit but her own area...
&*%^...
Ok I said well it's either the lady in front of your's head or your purse...
I did not know they were selling deeds of land there..
Guess that old ingress egress is a good law to have when over demanding people are invlved....

The good thing is there are allot more kind sweet people then those that obviously are off there meds to drink....
I take that back those individuals are probably self centered all the time...
Wow...

I'm with you on the walk...
The first day we trecked all the equipment in and walked from the house the first 17min walk was not bad but doing 4x in one day and the other times...
OMG I may be in shape to wear the Bikini and cowboy boots by next year if I did that daily...
Well I'm old so maybe a good plastic surgeon too...
I'll be next to you in Eldorado 1 even though I live a few country blocks...

[schradog]

Yeah I have a feeling that the parking/walking situation is going to be a big issue. And what was the point of that huge area/ wasted area, right after you scanned your ticket?? Didn't quiet understand why we couldnt have turned that into some parking of some sort.

[koalababy]

Shuttlesssss perhaps????????????? At least from the really far out spots! Oops clothes dryer buzzing guess I should get off this thing and get otherrrrr stuff done round here so I can sleep for work tonight - ughhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! LOL

Bring on the green drink....

Horse,

I wonder if the girl who said she was Jenny Craigs' daughter was the same scammer who said she was a producer from the Dr. Phil show on Friday night. She tried to chat me up because I had a front row seat and would be her go-to person if and when security questioned her. Of course, I blew her off knowing full well a producer for Dr. Phil would be stage side with the other VIPS.

Tim McGraw was going through the motions last night. He did not put on his typical show that he normally does. He did the bare bones minimum to fulfill his obligations. I was totally disappointed that he ended our great weekend. He threw lemons at his stage hands, poured water on his drummer and "yes" I do believe that he may have been sick. He should have told "us" the crowd that he didn't have his "A" game. That would have given him the out. Instead we all feel cheated. "I still love Tim McGaw" that will not change.

I LOVE Tim Mcgraw, and he was the main reason we decided to go to StageCoach and pay extra for reserved seats. So when he came out to a song No one had ever heard of I wasn't even sure if he was really starting or not. Then I kept wathcing him thinking wow he looks like he's been crying, then it hit me- he was completely lit! Allergies? I don't think so. I was disappointed to say the least. He never really got the crowd going at all and even forgot lines to his song (actually that was kind off funny).Did anyone else notice how he left the stage and than came back and said that crap about only having to catch a plane, he sounded upset that his time wasn't up yet and had to play more. And as soon as that hour was up he ws gone. Do you think he could have been upset with GoldenVoice for something(maybe that Prince got 4 million last weekend)? I know he's only human and everyone has off days but not the expected a lot more from my favorite country artist.

[schradog]

Missed the lemons thing, being that I was watching the screen from my vantage point.
Yeah still love him, and yes communicate, we will all understand and respect you and maybe even feel sorry for your cute ass. I would have been more than happy to go backstage and take care of him in Faith's absense.

[smt]

I was surpised that there was little interaction with the audience. It looked like his show was on fast forward with no time for comerical breaks. Almost like the clock was ticking and he had to get in his agreed to number of songs and then bolt.
In his defense, it was chilly, windy and very dusty. maybe he took alergy medicine? It makes me loopy..

[hodgee5]

He sucked ass... Im still mad

[Ajax]

Can't disagree with you there.
