Getting together with lots of Hokies the night before a big game listening to music – sounds like a party. I’m in!
It’s great for VT and for his fans, and I think for him. I’m glad who ever made it happen, made it happen.
However, I do not like “modern” country. Sounds too much like pop to me. I like a lot of different types of music, but I like the older versions of them, not the current music in each genre.
I’ll just be tailgating in relative peace up in the airport lot.
Deffenetly going! Big Brad Paisley fan!
Nah, not remotely a fan. Now bring in the old rockers and I’ll be there.
Apparently his next stop is in Austin. I might have to walk across the street and go to that one.
I’m not going, but my daughter class of ’99 and Brad’s #1 fan, will be there front and center sending me a live feed. Only thing I’ll miss is George Jones’ ghost being the opening act for his friend.
although I think it’s great for VT, I applaud those who made it happen, and I wouldn’t mind the views (love the short skirt & boots look) I wouldn’t go if it was in my neighborhood. I’m not a fan of country music. And I think the logistics of getting in and out are going to be bad.
Would love to but will not be in town till Monday…
TSL Staff – out of curiosity, what do you do with these poll results?
Nuthin’. It’s just something we like to do, and I think visitors like it, too.
Why Not ? It will be a very good show, Top Talent and at a great place, VT . They are doing lots of things for fans and I like all the new stuff going on. At 68, I’ll be there with my Hokie stuff on .
Not a fan of “contemporary” country (I dig the older stuff), but would still go to the concert if I were in town on Sunday. It’s just a cool event, and it wouldn’t be the first time I enjoyed a show that wasn’t in my musical wheelhouse.
Kind of my attitude, not a fan especially of the newer stuff, don’t really know Paisley that well, but what the hey, tend to like live music and people enjoying themselves, Blacksburg will be happening that weekend.
I don’t get in town until Monday.
I’m not a country fan and would probably take advantage of the open bars downtown if I happened to be in town on Sunday.
I heard Chris on one of the radio segments about people not liking country and that it is popular in SW VA. I completely agree. It isn’t my thing, but I think it is cool that it is happening at VT. It is great to have something like this during a huge weekend for the school.
Not going to the concert because one daughter and son-in-law will be going while wife and I will be babysitting two grandkids. Yeah, we’re suckers for grandkids.
Attending the concert will depend on the weather. If decent (i.e., not raining or brutally hot) we’ll take the RV up on Sunday in which case we’ll consider the concert. Otherwise, we’ll head up the mountain on Monday morning.
