Keith Urban performed a free concert at West Edmonton Mall to promote his new album “Get Closer”. It was the only Canadian promotional show. There were 3,000 people in attendance and a lot of screaming women. He joked that the last time he did a free show in 2001, only four people showed up; he was glad more showed up this time! He had his acoustic guitar and a drum machine; not everyone is talented enough to pull that off.
He played 7 songs. His set list included ‘Days Go By’, his new single ‘Put You In a Song’, ‘Making Memories of Us’, ‘Kiss a Girl, (where he brought up a teenage fan to come up and do a duet with him), ‘Stupid Boy’, a cover of ‘The Joker’ by Steve Miller band, and ‘Somebody Like You’. He was supposed to do 5 songs, and said twice, “This is my last song”.
He did a meet and greet after the show for the 200 fans that went to buy his new album the day before at HMV. Some loyal fans stayed overnight just to have the chance to meet him. His upcoming Canadian September 2011 tour was announced for shows in Ottawa, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. Tickets go on sale March 4 at 10:00 am.
