Alabama Shakes Performs in Mercedes-Benz Evolution Tour (VIDEO)

Catching a live concert of one of your favorite groups is always great, but when that concert only includes a couple hundred people, like the Alabama Shakes performance for the Mercedes-Benz Evolution Tour, great doesn’t come close to explaining its awesomeness.

The tour is making its way around the country now and you can win tickets online (that’s the only way to get in the door).  It’s pretty simple if you follow the steps for uploading a photo or making a comment online.  Click here for the link for tour dates and entering.

All of the attendees were treated like VIPs, walking in on the red carpet with photos taken as you came through, just like you were the rock star.

That was cool, but the real thrill was being so close to the performers, from the opening acts to the rockin’ Alabama Shakes.

Enjoy the videos…I recorded some music but had to put down the phone and just be in the moment for much of the night.
