Dixie Chicks' Awesome Concert in London

Last Night the Dixie Chicks played in London Ontario and put on a cracking performance for a sold out house.

I'm not a big country fan and I think I only know three Dixie Chicks songs but I figure how often will they play in my own backyard.
Well it was an awesome show.
After Natalie Maines sang "Not Ready to Make Nice" the London crowd gave the Chicks a long standing ovation. Which was great since everyone knows about the death threats and other bullshit they have been though over the past few years.

It was also one of the best performed songs of the night.. The whole night was great.
Thanks Chris for offering me your extra ticket.

There were cheers for the Chicks' older hits, like Goodbye Earl, and cheers for their Bush-bashing recent songs. Over more than 100 minutes and several standing ovations, the last one for a three-song encore of Travellin' Soldier, Mississippi and Ready to Run, there was crowd craziness fit for the queens of cool and angry country.

The Chicks pretended to be surprised. After all, those London fans weren't even on the tour list, until a cool shoulder in some U.S. markets led to a Dixie detour into the Great White North.

"There was word around town that this would not be the most energetic crowd on the tour. That's a compliment. They were wrong," Chicks' co-leader Natalie Maines teased early in the set after Goodbye Earl had the crowd rocking. (Keep reading)
