Riley ended up doing the song “Half Of Me” which he recorded as a duet with Thomas Rhett. The Song which was written by Rhett & Josh Thompson was followed by a cover song of “In Color”. “Put ‘EM On Me” & “Georgia Time” Followed, before Riley made a joking announcement that the bus didn’t have enough room and one had to go, the band battled it out with some licks from some of the most popular cover songs before going into “Should Have Been A Cowboy”. Riley then made his way just him and a guitar to the end of the ramp for his song “I Wish Grandpas Never Died”, which had the Sold-Out crowd holding their phones high up, lightning the night sky. Riley wrapped up his set with “Hell Of A Way To Go” & his smash hit “There Was This Girl”.

Luke showcased his piano skills for a few as well “Strip It Down” & “Do I”. He then proceeded to call back to the stage Mitchell Tenpenny, who walks out with 2 shots as they went into “Family Tradition” followed by Bryan’s penned hit “Good Directions”. A cigar smoking Riley Green emerged next to a thunderous applause and went immediately into his rendition of “Sweet Home Chicago” before throwing it back with a classic George Jones hit “Choices”.
