Exclusive | I saw Brad Paisley in Atlantic City. Heres why hes so great live

Brad Paisley took his country boots to Atlantic City and was met by an NJ crowd clad in owboy hats.Currently on his 2024-25 tour, the singer-songwriter-guitarist has been traveling all over the country these past few months perform tracks from his stable of country hits, including his latest release, “Truck Still Works.” After a delicious meal at Ocean Steak housed directly within Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino Resort, the doors opened at Ovation Hall to see Paisley on Saturday, Oct.12 at 8 p.m.Right on time, the country icon ambled onstage and delivered a spectacular performance.

His powerful vocals and gnarly electric guitar solos on tracks like “Then,” “Mud on the Tires,” “She’s Everything” and “Perfect Storm” combined to create a fresh spin on good ol’ American country music.However, it’s the spontaneous moments that make Paisley’s live shows so special.In the show’s most “live” moment, the 51-year-old West Virginia native spotted a woman on her bachelorette trip.Rather than just banter, he grabbed her phone, took a selfie and posted it to her Instagram with a caption reading, “He damn sexy.”Not to mention, this was a pretty rockin’, career spannin’ country concert if we do say so ourselves.

For the entirety of the show, the game crowd got out of their seats to dance; audience members with floor seats were able to interact with the evening’s headliner and take photos with him.So, yes, the rumors are true.Paisley is a class-act entertainer.

Humorous, talented and musically in-tune with the entire stage, he showed off killer vocals, guitar skills and charm.Better yet, there was a (spoiler alert) Kiss Cam during his performance of “She’s Everything.”Sound like the perfect country concert for you?If so, tickets are still available for the last few shows on Paisley’s 2024-25 calendar.Fans can purchase tickets for all Brad Paisley shows on sites like Vivid Seats.
