With the stage set-up looking like the front end of a Ford truck and almost every fan with a bottle in hand, everyone knew they were at a country show when they walked into the Resch Center Friday night.
Country star Toby Keith made a stop in Green Bay as a part of his "Biggest & Baddest" tour with fellow country artist, Jack Ingram.
Ingram played songs such as "That's a Man," "Keep On Keepin' On," "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line," and the popular "Love You," which much of the crowd danced and sang along to.
Announcing the next song as his first No. 1, the crowd screamed as Ingram sang "Wherever You Are."
Ingram received excellent feedback from fans after each and every song, complete with applause and screams.
Performing his own version of the band Hinder's popular "Lips of an Angel," with an obvious country twist, Ingram showed off his incredibly wide vocal range and even a little bit of his rock side.
Before Ingram ended his set, he politely introduced himself one last time and told fans to sit tight for Keith's portion of the show.
"My name is Jack. Always has been, always will be. Enjoy the hell outta Toby Keith, I know I will." Ingram told the crowd as he stepped off stage.
Keith kicked off his set with a trailer to his recent movie, "Beer For My Horses," which concluded with an explosion of fireworks and confetti that led into his song "She's a Hottie." The crowd was on their feet and screaming as soon as Keith stepped on stage and the pyrotechnics and special effects began.
Keith often had various images decorating the video screens, such as whiskey bottles surrounding his face during the song, "Whiskey Girl." Definitely a favorite among the ladies, best friends danced and sang along to the popular tune.
The music video played while he performed "God Love Her," which is about a rebellious teenage girl breaking free from her religious family and running off to California with a bad boy.
With most of his lyrics referring to pick-up trucks, alcohol, women, and America as a whole,.Keith truly sums up the country life.
