Eric Church breaks the ATTENDANCE RECORD Saturday Night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena

Eric Church: 'The Hottest Ticket In Town' this past Saturday night in Nashville!

Eric Church performed a 28-song set of hits like "Drink In My Hand," fan favorites including "These Boots" and album cuts from The Outsiders, including the title track, 'Devil, Devil', & 'Talledega' for his audience of 18,411.
The previous attendance record was set by The Blue Collar Comedy Tour in 2006.

His stage is set up in a 360-degree configuration, which allows him to sell seats all the way around his stage. In appearance, the stage looks like it was inspiration gleaned from a Metallica concert that he may have seen during his youth. There were those in attendance who took to twitter after the show to share their appreciation, including Reba ( @Reba ) and metal music front-man and guitarist Dave Mustaine ( @DaveMustaine ) of Megadeth.

In sifting through some of the other tweets on Saturday night after the show, I found some "quotes" from a couple members of Eric's road crew, namely Michael Joe Sagraves and Sambo Coats. "Our job is better than your vacation," Coats, the tour's stage manager, said. "It's the crew's job to make the fans not just love the show, but live it!"
