Not often am I lucky enough to be able to catch a 'generational talent' on back-to-back nights LIVE in concert. That was the case this past week with two Chris Stapleton performances in Duluth, MN & Prairie du Chien, WI at Country On The River, Thursday & Friday evening.

The Thursday evening show was the more intimate of the two. I'll keep it brief with the Set List and a few footnotes to try encapsulate the vibe that filled the sold-out Amsoil (hockey) Arena, part of the Duluth Entertainment & Convention Center.

In addition, enjoy the fan recorded 10+ min video below during the sung Band Intro segment leading into 'Tennessee Whiskey' from the 2x platinum Traveller album. Also, some photo's I was able to grab during the show. The crowd in Duluth was jaw-drop AMAZING, and will be hard to top. This night was my 1st Chris Stapleton show.....a show that will be hard to top in my book!
