Kenny Chesney rocked The Joint at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas on Friday night and sent it out around the world on No Shoes Radio.
Chesney’s 26-song set included all of the favorites, plus two tunes that he said he hadn’t played live before: “Ten With A Two” and “The Life.” Check out the full set list from the show here.
Thanks to all who joined in our live chat during the show. We even had NSR staff sign on and chat with us for a while! Next Friday we’ll fire up another chat for the CMT Crossroads broadcast. Be sure to join us.
No Shoes Radio will be broadcasting Jon and Tambo from the Hard Rock Pool at Noon PT (3 pm ET) on Saturday. Chesney plays The Joint again Saturday night but it doesn’t look like that show will be broadcast. If you attend the show, please pass along the set list here.

Kenny Chesney will hit Vegas again this weekend for a 2-night set and luckily for us fans he’s bringing us into the show even if we aren’t there in person. No Shoes Radio will broadcast Friday night’s show live, just like Chesney did back in May.
“I pretty much shredded my voice the second night,” says Chesney. “We got up onstage in Vegas, and it was feeling and sounding so good, we didn’t wanna go home – and because it’s Vegas, you know, you really don’t have to. We broadcast the first show because we thought people would like it – and the feedback was so great, we figured why not do it again?”
“I won’t say we’re the Grateful Dead or even Phish or Widespread Panic, but when we go off the set list and into the land of ‘I love that song, let’s play it…,’ things can go all kinds of crazy places. We all love music so much – and know so many songs, we can do bluegrass, we can do Van Halen and anything in between. It’s what makes these shows fun for us… So I figured we might as well put the show out there for the fans to listen to wherever they are one more time.”
Tune in for the pre-show with Jon and Tambo at 10 pm EDT and then hang around for the show at 11 EDT.

Tune into No Shoes Radio tonight at 8pm CDT for a special songwriters tribute to Kenny Chesney. Tambo and Jon Anthony will go live from the Hard Rock in downtown Nashville at 7pm for the pre-show festivities.
Hit songwriters Mac McAnally, Craig Wiseman, Brett James, Neil Thrasher, Wendell Mobley, and Casey Beathard will tell stories about how their songs were cut by Kenny Chesney. The man himself though won’t be there… he’s outta town getting some R&R:
“There’s a point where I just can’t do everything,” Chesney admits. “The idea of a year off was to get a mental break… but then you have projects, be it the 3-D movie, making this record or something we’ll be announcing shortly… and it’s June, and you’ve not stopped for a second. I was joking that getting back out on tour next summer not only gets me back out with my fans, but I’ll get some rest…
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t hate I’m not in town this week… and I’m honored that some of the best songwriters I’ve ever heard – and have had the pleasure to work with – agreed to get together for my fans and do something a little special. This is kinda like the way, when I’m lucky, I get to hear the songs, and they’re gonna share it with all the fans – with the money going to Musicians on Call, which gets music to critically ill children who’re too sick to even leave their beds.”

Kenny Chesney heads south this weekend to the bayou… Bayou Country Superfest that is, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The music festival is packing some of the biggest names in country music over two days at LSU Tiger Stadium.
On Saturday, Gloriana, David Nail, Kellie Pickler, Keith Urban, and Taylor Swift perform. Then on Sunday, Justin Moore, Jake Owen, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, and Kenny Chesney will perform. Chesney is scheduled to perform around 8:30 pm.
This is Kenny’s second festival of the year. Back in March he played at Rodeo Houston in Houston, Texas. Next weekend he’ll head to BamaJam in Enterprise, Alabama. Two more Las Vegas shows are on tap for July and then a few other festivals will round out the sparse 2010 tour.
Be sure to listen to No Shoes Radio on Sunday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Jon and Tambo will be broadcasting live alongside 101.5 WYNK. If you’re going to the show, find NSR at the SuperFest Fan Fest area in Lot A to win some gear and other great prizes from WYNK.

According to The Country Vibe, several of the songwriters who’ve written Kenny’s biggest hits will come together for a tribute show to him that will raise money for Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities in Nashville and across the country.
Hit songwriters Mac McAnally, Craig Wiseman, Brett James, Neil Thrasher, Wendell Mobley, and Casey Beathard will tell us how their songs were cut by Kenny Chesney. The special show will be broadcast live on No Shoes Radio.
The 4th Annual Songwriters Series will take place at the Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville on Thursday, June 10th (during CMA Fest week). Tickets are available now here.
Update – Here’s more from Kenny on the tribute:
“It’s amazing the way all of those writers understand where I come from, who I am, the things that matter to me,” says the man who’s penned hits of his own “Beer In Mexico,” “I Go Back” and “Out Last Night,” as well as Rascal Flatt’s multiple week #1 “Take Me There” and David Nail’s rising “Turning Home.” “When you find a song that touches you like theirs have touched me, well, you know those are the songs that’re gonna connect — and I love the fact that those songwriters get to see their songs have life in Nashville during the week when all the fans come to town.”
“These songwriters are awesome singers and performers in their own right. That they can come together like this — and help raise money for something as worthwhile as Musicians on Call, which provides recorded music and bedside performances for people too sick to participate in music any other way — well, that’s the power of what songs can do.”
“These guys have written hits for everybody: Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, Gary Allen, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Jimmy Buffett, Brooks & Dunn and so many people,” says Chesney. “If you wanna hear a whole lot of why country music sounds the way it does, hear the songs from the writers’ mouths — and help a really good cause — this is a great way to do it.”
