Chesney goes Vegas

Obviously we like to play," Chesney said. "The beauty of the Joint is that not only is it a great rock and roll room, but they'll let us get up there and play... and play...and play. We have so much fun, because we can throw in all kinds of stuff we don't get to play in our regular show, and the audiences are diverse enough that no matter what we throw at them, they know the songs."

"That's what so great about a gig where the capacity is under 4000, especially at the Joint," Chesney said. "It's the best of both worlds: you get the energy of a club, but it's still enough of a stage that there's room to run around and have fun. Because when we do these smaller, less structured shows, we like to let loose without tripping over each other or getting tangled in someone's chord.
