Let me start this article by saying that as a Quad City native for over three decades, I have never been to a concert at the Mississippi Valley Fair. \u00a0And let me follow that statement by saying that if the previous years were anything like how great watching The Band Perry commanding the attention of almost thirty-thousand fans was, I really missed out those past years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As I said, this was my first time seeing The Band Perry live, but it was not the first time they have been to the area. \u00a0Opting for a closer look at one of the most popular country music acts out right now, we chose not to take a seat but to walk down to the pit where the real party was at. \u00a0On sand covered ground, surrounded by young and old fans alike, The Band Perry started off the set with their hit, “Done” as fans sang along to every word. \u00a0I was pleasantly surprised that a few songs later, they did their own version of the Bruno Mars song, \u201cUptown Funk\u201d. \u00a0Having heard from numerous sources on how much fun The Band Perry was seeing live, they lived up to those opinions as they took every opportunity they had to engage the crowd through conversation and even stealing a camera so that fans could see themselves on the big screens. \u00a0<\/p>

But it was their medley of covers of, \u201cFat Bottomed Girls\u201d and\u201d Life Goes On\u201d that sealed the deal for me that this was a band that knew to play to the crowd. \u00a0<\/p>\n

They played for a little over an hour and after their last song, I was expecting to hear my favorite song of theirs that they had yet to play. \u00a0The came back out and played their most popular song, \u201cIf I Die Young.\u201d \u00a0After the song finished I was just about to complain about how they didn\u2019t play my song, as I heard the fiddle start and to my surprise packed with a phenomenal percussion solo and smoke and lights, \u201cBetter Dig Two\u201d closed out the night.<\/p>\n

The Band Perry performing at the Mississippi Valley Fair definitely left another lasting impression on the Quad Cities. \u00a0 And looking around during the concert at their fans with signs, singing on the shoulders of their friends and the roar for them as they walked off the stage, let me know that they would be welcomed back to the QCA whenever they wanted.<\/p>\n
