current single: “PAPER UMBRELLAS” featuring Parker McCollum

Tim McGraw is an incredible entertainer who has been putting on concerts for over 30 years, and still to this day his live shows are full of energy and excitement, and he is a master at keeping the crowd entertained. But does he have any tricks for those nights when he can tell the crowd’s energy is low or they’re just not as engaged?

Tim McGraw – how raise crowd energy :26

“You know, it’s different every night. You sort of feel the crowd and figure out what they’re like and what they want you to do. And sometimes it’s more running around. Sometimes it’s more standing in one spot singing, which is hard for me to do. It’s hard for me to stand still and sing one verse. So, it’s a matter of what the crowd’s feeling and what you’re feeling. I don’t know if I have any tricks. The tricks I use are usually when I do private shows that everybody’s just sitting at a dinner table and sort of just politely clapping. And then you sort of jump out in the audience and start high-fiving people tryin’ to get ‘em out of their chairs.”
