I enjoy Trace Atkins. His music is great and I rooted for him on Celebrity Apprentince. Months ago, we heard that he would be in Jackpot for a concert. The original idea was to go with parents and my sisters. Well life happened and it ended up being me and parents. Mom and Dad were going to be coming from Idaho Falls. They had been at the Idaho State Republican Convention for the past week. I had made arrangments to meet them in Twin Falls and we would all ride to Jackpot together. We have lunch at Gerties Brickonven Pizza. They have all you can eat pizza and dessert pizza. It was good but not as good as I remember. Oh well. We head to Jackpot and get settled in the Horshoe Hotel. I get ready for concert and off we go to the casino. I play the penny slots while waiting for the concert. Mom had a book to read so she stood in line. We had general admission tickets so we could sit anywhere in the blechers. Where Mom got was pretty good for $40 a ticket. Mom and Dad got free tickets through the casino. From what I remember, Trace played "Sometimes You Gotta Kick A Little A$$", Chrome, Honky tonk badonkadonk, Brown Chicken Brown Cow, a couple new songs, Swing, Your Gonna Miss This, Hot Momma. There were a few others but I can't remember. He did play Arlington. I prefer it live than recorded. Both Mom and I got teary as he sang it.
So the top left pictures if of Trace walking to the stage to open.
top right is of Trace leaving the encore (love the hair blowing in the breeze).
Middle pic of me and you can see Trace in the shadows in the middle of stage.
Some residents found a great way to see the concert without paying price of ticket.
Mom and Dad enjoying the concert.
Trace, Trace and more Trace.
