The Band Perry opened with an energetic, choreographed version of "Done," complete with leering and hip-thrusting. None of that was out of place at LP Field, a place built for big gestures athletic and musical. Lead singer Kimberly Perry then led brothers Neil and Reid through a harmony-drenched set that included "You Lie,"a romp through "Timber" by Pitbull and Nashville's Ke$ha," "Chainsaw," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely," "If I Die Young" and the harrowing closer, "Better Dig Two."
"We remember the day when there were more people up on stage playing than in the crowd," Kimberly said. "It's almost like country music's heartbeat is right here in this stadium."
