Carrie Underwood rocks Hollywood Bowl -- 10/6, Country Hound


Well, she definitely ain’t in Checotah anymore.  Carrie Underwood performed to a sold-out audience of 17,000 on Saturday in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl.

“What an honor it is to stand on this stage,” Underwood said during the show.  “I have never had the honor of being here ever before in my life.  I have only seen it on TV and in movies, so excuse me if I get a little emotional tonight.  The wall of people in front of me is just spectacular!  This is truly an unforgettable night – thank you so much!”

Underwood, who has won five Grammy awards and ACM Entertainer of the Year twice, played alongside her band as well as the legendary Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.  Several other surprises were unveiled as the show went on, including Randy Travis during “I Told You So” and rock guitarist Orianthi who played on the hit “Last Name.  The show ended with a roar of fireworks choreographed to Underwood’s hit “Before He Cheats” and the energetic last song “Songs Like This.”

The other performers who opened the night for Underwood were Billy Currington and Sons of Sylvia.  The “Play On Tour,” which is sponsored by vitamin water and Olay, will make a stop in over 100 cities in 2010 before its conclusion Dec. 19 in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
