Kris Allen and Maroon 5





What an evening, Kris Allen and Maroon 5 rocked Raleigh last night. With the crazy string of events that happened we ended moving from the lawn to 15th row, trust me it’s a blog in itself. Kris Allen came out right at 8:00 and played a good 40 minute set that included Red Guitar, Man in the Mirror, Written All Over My Face, The Truth, Live Like Were Dying and a few more from his debut CD. He knew how to work the stage and really kept the audience entertained as much as he could; this crowd was one of the dullest crowds I have ever seen at a concert. Kris really showed why he was an American Idol winner, he can sing and he knows how to perform. Maroon 5 came on after a 30 minute set change, with their current single misery and their 15 song set included 2 encore songs. They played some of their biggest hits like This Love, Sunday Morning, If I Never See Your Face Again, She Will Be Loved, Wake Up Call, Makes Me Wonder, and a new song which was my favorite of the evening called stutter. They also covered Alicia Key’s If I Ain’t Got You and Tina Turner’s Secret and What’s Love Got to Do with It. Now, Maroon 5 really played the stage and worked this boring crowd up and really put on a heck of a show. Now to something that really doesn’t have to do with the show. The venue is AWESOME, and that’s an understatement. It is set right in the middle of downtown behind a wall of water it was beautiful and the sound was great, and the venue just made the night even better. And As Always Please Enjoy the Show.

Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars
