Urban ends tour in a cab
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 – Keith Urban concluded the North American leg of his "Escape Together World Tour" in a cab. While playing the final bars of his number one hit, Better Life, Urban went down to the floor, walked through the halls of Buffalo, N.Y.'s HSBC Arena and out into the street where he donned a jacket, turned in his guitar and left the arena in a taxi.
That left nearly 14,000 in the sold-out arena wondering whether or not what they were seeing on Urban's 5 60-foot, high definition video screens was real or not. But when the band stopped playing and the confetti flew, they knew Urban was gone.
The idea took shape just weeks prior to Urban's second sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden. "The yellow taxi is synonymous with New York City, and I was trying to figure out how I could incorporate it into the show," said Urban. "I think I did it...not to mention that I beat the rush for cabs after the concert let out."
The taxi departure was "so much fun" that Urban decided to do it again the next night.
