Kenny Chesney’s Big Revival – See Behind-the-Scenes Photos From Rehearsals

After three months, many days of rehearsals, video shoots and edits, lighting tweaks and sound calibrations, the last note before it all starts has faded away. The only country artist on Billboard's Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years has given it everything he's got – and now it's time to go home. But first, a glimpse inside those rehearsals.

The eight-time Entertainer of the Year cracks up Potter during a "remember-how-it-goes?"
run-through of their Grammy-nominated "You & Tequila."

Grace Potter talks guitar with Walsh, whose "Rocky Mountain Way" is considered a signature slide performance. Though each comes at music from a singular place, all three share common ground in how hard they play.

Grace Potter flashes her classic rock horns, while getting embraced by Chesney.
"She's just soooo good — as a singer, a player and a songwriter.
Any time I get to sing with her, it's a good day."
