O|A|R . Citizen Cope . Charlotte

Stocton and I made a trip down to Charlotte on Friday to go to the O.A.R. concert at the NC Music Factory in Uptown Charlotte.  We met BT at his house in Charlotte for the concert (thank you for the hospitality sir).  After grabbing a bite to eat we headed to the venue.  The Music Factory amphitheater was a pretty sweet place.  It was a great size for the show.  Thought it was a great place.  Held about 5,000 people, packed lawn, and could see the Charlotte skyline behind the stage.  Perfect.

Citizen Cope opened for O.A.R..  Stoc and I didn't initially know that he was the opening band so this was a great added bonus for the trip.  I really liked his show.  Sounded great live.  I will definitely go see him again somewhere if I have the chance.

This was my third O.A.R. concert and my favorite.  The venue made it the best of the three for me.  The first two I saw were indoors in Nashville and Knoxville.  Outdoors always makes for a better show in my opinion.  The lighting at the amphitheater was pretty cool.  The lights coming from the stage shined onto the crowds at various times throughout the show making for a pretty cool scene.  I wish I had my camera to capture it.  The setlist was also a good one.  They played 'Black Rock', 'Untitled', and 'City On Down'; all my favorites.  The only song that was missing was 'I Feel Home'.  Very much enjoyed the show.  Great time per usual.

Here is the O.A.R. setlist.  Pretty good one:
