Stellar! No, that's not even the right word. In-friggin-credible! That's more like it.

On March 8 as all of Kiss Country anxiously awaited the start of Luke Bryan's "That's My Kinda Night Tour" at Bossier's CenturyLink Center, I'm nearly positive that even in their wildest imagination most had absolutely no idea just how good this show would be.  However, they wouldn't have to wait long to see just what "kinda night" they were in for! 

From the minute Cole Swindell hit the stage as the opening act until the last note of Luke's final song, there were literally less than 50 people in their chairs as the sold-out capacity crowd danced and sang along! A surprise visit from Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty drew even more excitement. Even when Willie disappeared from our sight, the cheers from the crowd kept us aware of his presence.

First on stage was Cole Swindell, who not only reminded us of his long list of song-writing credits, but showed us that he's come into his own as an entertainer.

His high-energy, southern rock performance was a great indicator that Cole will certainly be a country mainstay for years to come. Fans enjoyed every tune he played, which set the tone for this party-like atmosphere. He finished up his set with his first no. 1 song "Chillin' It," which became an instant sing-a-long for nearly everyone in attendance.

Next to hit the stage was Lee Brice, who notched his place in our hearts from the beginning of his career with "Love Like Crazy" all the way to his most recent "Parking Lot Party," which drove fans to a near frenzy when he played on stage. Another incredible fan moment came as Brice played "I Drive Your Truck. Fans were either in tears or doing their best to hold them back.

Up next was the ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan. From the minute fans saw his face, we knew this would be no regular concert. This would be the concert we'd talk about for years!

As Bryan rose from under the stage on top of a black, four-wheel drive pickup truck amidst a circle of flames singing "That's My Kinda Night," women screamed, guys fist pumped and everyone saw just why he's become one of the hottest names in country music!

Women wanted to see him play the sexy gyrating roll and he didn't disappoint! Guys were looking for a redneck connection and his South Georgia presence brought on that brotherhood -- not only as he sang his multitude of smash songs, but also as he interacted on personal level.

And when he brought a little girl on stage as he sang "Someone Else Calling You Baby," it was obvious that Luke Bryan owned this crowd!

Nearing the concert's end, Luke's playful nature kicked in as he began tossing beers like footballs to those close by and little did they know we were all being reeled in for his heartfelt "Drink A Beer," which he recorded in memory of the deaths of both his brother and sister.

Of course, the concert wouldn't have been complete without his songs "The Only Way I Know" and "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)," and those are the crowd-pleasers he used to close the show. The crowd response was mind-boggling as they partied and some even twerked with him!

Minute-for-minute, dollar-for-dollar, if this wasn't the best concert to ever hit CenturyLink, it was certainly in the Top 5! Of course, I'm thinking it will be much like Woodstock: If you remember it all, you probably weren't there.

Check out some of the photos we caught during the amazing show.
