On Thursday night Karen and I went to the Dave Crowder and Third Day concert at The Palace. The main attraction for us was the Dave Crowder Band, however, they're the opening act for Third Day's tour.
Mac Powell, Third Day front man, was very entertaining and personal throughout the show. He continually talked about the Louisville show being unique and different like none other show ever. Mac definitely made it a reality.
Two Highpoints
Anyone that has ever been to any show has heard that one guy scream in all of his gusto with all of his passion, "FREEBIRD!" Many bands today ridicule that guy and sometimes even the audience that condones the request. Maybe some of you have been that guy. I have played my part in this ritual as that guy. But you don't really expect a band to do it; it's more of a rite of passage that makes a show - A SHOW.
Well, Mac surprised the rest of the band and said they would do a request. You know the request that I'm talking about. When he said what it would be, there was a few screams and many questions. Nonetheless, Third Day played Freebird, not all of it, but they played it - AWESOME!!!
Third Day brought the Dave Crowder Band back on stage for a little help. Before any music roared from the stage, Mac and Dave had some witty banter to exchange. Anyone that has ever seen David Crowder knows he is an interesting character. Check this out. Mac highlighted his features, and in a complimentary way (?) said he had the features of a Kung Fu Master. Dave Crowder laments it is not the case because he's a pacifist. Somehow the next thing that happened was an INDIAN LEG WRESTLE CHALLENGE!!! Now Crowder had no idea what this was, and once they were both on their backs preparing for this epic battle they both admitted, "this is a bit awkward." Awkward but once again awesome! Dave Crowder and Mac Powell locked legs laying side-by-side heads at opposite ends. Crowder quickly took advantage and plunged his leg and foot to the floor flipping Powell. They showed great sportsmanship after the bout and sang a bluegrass favorite for many in Kentucky - Saw the Light.
This show was like none other.
