I have almost every mainstream country CD from 2005 on, and I had a really hard time listening to his. "All My Friends Say" is a great song, but I couldn't find another one I really liked. I kind of group Luke with Keith Anderson and Rodney Atkins--they are alright, but that's about it. Anyway, I think the main stage was missing some performers that truly belong on a big stage (Eric Church, Randy Houser, Bomshel, Her & Kings County--who killed at the Hard Rock Stage). Luke just seemed a better fit at the Riverfront. Maybe he'll grow on me---Rascal Flatts did, but it took a really long time ("God Bless The Broken Road" was too good a song for them not to).

We should have also mentioned Zac Brown Band as they kicked a$$ at LP Field. We didn't find a single person not in their seat during their set. Although I do disagree - Luke Bryan was way hotter than ok. And I don't mean hot like good looking. The man was smoking hot and commanded every bit of that stage!

Luke Bryan was ok, but not that great. He, like all of the other Friday acts, was blown off the stage by the Zac Brown Band! That is the impressive performance you should be writing about.
