TIM McGRAW AND FAITH HILL'S 'SOUL2SOUL TOUR 2007' PRESENTED BY JEEP® PICKS UP WHERE IT LEFT OFF SETTING BOX OFFICE RECORDS FOR ATTENDANCE AND GROSS
6/13/07NASHVILLE- June 13, 2007- Pollstar's 2006 Tour of the Year, and the most successful tour in country music history, "Jeep Presents Soul2Soul Tour 2007," rolled through three shows last week like a freight train setting box office records for attendance and gross for the tour's first week out.
Nearly 50,000 fans enjoyed non-stop entertainment with the MyGIG outdoor stage, Preshow Party, opening acts and Tim and Faith. The tour also established a new record gross during both its 2-day stop in Omaha and single day play in St. Paul for a single country show, according the Excel Energy Center. The tour is sponsored by Jeep and the tour promoter is Live Nation.
The Minneapolis Star claimed, "hadn't seen husband-and-wife sexual sparks on stage like that since Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge 30 some years ago." And the Pioneer Press stated the concert had "high-wattage entertainment from two performers at the top of their game."
Behind the scenes at the "Jeep Presents Soul2Soul Tour 2007" is a circus. With the largest most complex touring production, things are always wild and crazy. But literally this year backstage at the kick-off during the two-day run in Omaha was a zoo with giraffes, zebras, tigers and monkeys as the Ringling Brothers Circus was starting to set up early for a run in Omaha. "We were fortunate this wasn't closing night because we know someone would be tempted to bring some of the animals on stage," said tour representatives.
