Keith Urban's set started a mere 20 minutes after Deana left the stage. Those stagehands were quick removing and moving the equipment.

Keith started the show with his latest single, "Who Wouldn't Want To Be Me," then went into "Where The Blacktop Ends."

"Raining on Sunday" was next, and then Keith talked a bit with the audience, saying it smelled good. I guess he could smell the BBQ. He then repeated what someone in the audience said, "Deana smells good? You're sitting way too close or started drinking way too early" Keith quipped at the audience member.

Next was "Whenever I Run," and then Keith remarked what a great view you had from the amphitheater, which overlooks Clear Lake. He thanked everyone who drove a long way to come to the show. Some people started yelling where they came from, and he repeated "Alaska? Wow, that is a long way. I guess there's not much going on up there this time of year?"

Keith told the story of how he played in Dollywood a few years ago and when he had gone back to the hotel there was a wedding reception going on, and he could hear them playing "Your Everything." He thought... wow, cool, and grabbed his guitar, intending to play live for the couple. He knocked on the door and the father of the bride came to the door and said "Who are you?" and Keith replied, "That's my record you're playing right now, and I thought maybe I could play the song live, if you would like." The father said, "Ok." Keith then went on to say that he only charged them $2,000 dollars. Then grinned and said, "Not really, it was only $1,500, but I thought I'd play it free for you all tonight."

Next, he brought out two of his band on stools next to him, and they played an acoustic version of his favorite piece of clothing -- "Jeans On."

It was time to see who was the loudest, so Keith went to his left and played a guitar rift, then pointed at the audience who then yelled back. He did the same on the right, and then the middle, then proceeded to play "In My Shirt."

Keith said he wanted to say thanks to the service men and women who were fighting for our freedom overseas, and played "But For The Grace of God." This song lead into "Somebody Like You," which was the final song of his set.

It was now 7:40, and he'd played for 50 minutes. Up next, Kenny Chesney.
