Country music artist Morgan Wallen performed at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday for his “Still The Problem” Tour. The show is the first concert in the stadium since the band Alabama played in 1992.
The performance began with the three country artist openers: Zach John King, Vincent Mason and Ella Langley.
King took the stage first, performing his popular songs, such as “Get to Drinkin’” and “Space.” He also played his new song, “Backwoods,” which was released on April 9.
“I thought he was amazing. Honestly, I was really shocked,” said Kylie Roe, a senior majoring in biology. “I didn’t expect him to be that good. I appreciate him for coming out here and having such a big crowd.”
King paid tribute to the band Alabama for their prior performance in 1992, singing a cover of the iconic “Dixieland Delight.”
Mason was the second opener of the night, taking the stage with his acoustic guitar and harmonica. Mason performed some of his own songs, such as “Wish You Well” and “Damned If I Do,” but he also performed a cover of “Mary Jane’s Last Chance” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
“I tried listening to a little bit of his music before,” Roe said. “He was really good when performing.”
Shortly after Mason finished, the stadium filled with rain. Many audience members ran inside to take shelter or came prepared with ponchos and rain jackets.
“We ran inside, and then we stayed in there for a few minutes,” said Allie Herring, a sophomore majoring in neuroscience. “When we came back out, it was still sprinkling a little bit, but we were really worried they were going to cancel the show.”
The rain subsided and the show continued with Langley, who noted her upbringing in Hope Hull, Alabama. She has previously played on three occasions at Gallettes in Tuscaloosa, but performing for a stadium is a testament to her recent success.
Langley performed songs from her new sophomore album, “Dandelion,” which was released on April 10. The set design followed the theme of her album, with green plants and dandelions on stage alongside her forest backdrop. She started her show strong with “Dandelion” and ended with her most famous songs, “you look like you love me” and “Choosin’ Texas.”
“I think Ella was my favorite,” said Lauryn Akins, a junior business management and finance major. “I think she just puts on very good shows, and I love her songs.”
Wallen took the stage with a dramatic countdown video that included former Alabama head football coach Nick Saban. He began with “Ain’t That Some,” bringing energy to the stadium with his firework and lighting special effects.
“I liked all the fire, fireworks and everything. It made it a really immersive experience,” Herring said.
Wallen continued the show with his classic “Chasin’ You,” which he said was one of the first songs he ever wrote. Fans voted at the beginning of the show for a song of their choice; ultimately, “7 Summers” won by a landslide, another one of his older songs that made the concert.
“He was absolutely amazing,” Herring said. “I really enjoyed his songs that were from a few years ago.”
The show took a break for Wallen to walk in the crowd. Having previously performed at Gallettes in 2018, Wallen said he missed having a connection with every person in the crowd in smaller venues, so this was his chance to do something similar.
Wallen brought back King and Mason to perform “Up Down.” He later had Langley return to the stage, and they performed her unreleased song “I Can’t Love You Anymore.”
“I thought it was a great way to give them more exposure as well,” Herring said. “It was very considerate of them to do it, and it was nice to see them again.”
The end of the concert featured some of Wallen’s most popular songs. He sang “Sand in my Boots” while performing on the piano. He ended the concert with “Last Night” and “Whiskey Glasses.”
“I think it’s really fun to be back in Bryant-Denny,” Akins said. “It’s just nice to see everyone come back together spring semester. It’s such a great venue also to have a concert.”
