Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre played host to the award-winning duo.
Sugarland rolled into Alpharetta on Thursday to put on a kind of "homecoming" concert, as many of the members either hail from Georgia or live here now. For those of you who don't know, a concert by Sugarland is filled with fan participation. Sure, many performers hold the microphone out to the crowd to belt out an occasional chorus. But for Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, there has to be more. Fans bring posters, but these aren't just you average, every day posters filled with text and maybe a hand drawn copy of a band logo. Nope, these are bedazzled, filled with photos, bordered with fringe – not drawn, but an actual fringe. And on Thursday night, there was even a train with separate cars, plus a poster with a sheep that had what …

Did you know that the first American Idol is a Vampire Diaries fan?
The stage at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta wasn't big enough for Kelly Clarkson and The Fray's Isaac Slade. Both artists – and Clarkson's backup singers – ran out in the audience, only to hop up on small platforms to continue their performances closer to audience members in the "cheap seats." Slade even made a mad dash up one side of the amphitheater, across the front of the lawn section and back down again. Slade took the the keyboards up in the seats. And Clarkson sang several songs from these platforms, telling the crowd that when she was a kid, if she even got into a concert it was way in the back. The crowd appreciated these efforts by the artists. Suddenly fans in the back of the amphitheatre could see the faces of …

This time I didn't take the photos, but they place photographers either in front of the front row up by those security guys at the stage, or immediately behind the sound board halfway to the lawn from the stage. This spot is several feet lower than the seats in the upper level, so no obstruction there, either. And photogs only get to stay there for a couple of songs. more ›
