Keith Urban - Kiss A Girl - Escape Together World Tour 2009

Partial clip of "Kiss A Girl" in Fort Wayne, IN on 6/7/09. Yes, his guitar did stop working, but Brian came to the rescue and took over the guitar solo. He did an excellent job!!! Keith went right back to doing what he does best...pleasing the crowd and having fun!!!

How professional is that. A major Fuk up happens and Keith still keeps his composure even though he visibly mad. He doesn't usually use the fender for that song, he usually uses a Gibson. And for all the people talking about him giving his guitar away or buying a new one....Keith wouldn't buy half of his guitars and when he does, he'd spend more in you $8,000 range, not $700.And the fender he is using there he has had for about 15 years, maybe more, so no way would he have given it away

Thanks for your comment.  Yes, he is nothing short of a professional. That's why I uploaded it so people could see that. That was the 2nd guitar that he went through just on that song, and he still went on and had fun...as is obvious in the video.

Maybe he should not change his rig before showtime with out a sound check the rumor is that he handed a pedal to his tech just before showtime and said he wanted to use it but it did not work .for what ever reason no need to throw shit at the people who are trying their best to keep up with the ever changing world of a guitar player. Stop changing it and it will work.

[angelleatherandlace]

Key word you used is "rumor." I find it hard to believe that he would've thrown his guitar if it was just the pedal. I'm sure he wasn't throwing it at anyone. He simply threw it off to the side. I've seen much worse on stage than that!!! As far as the techs go, that's what they get paid for....keeping up with changes and making sure everything works properly.

Keith isn't a spaz; he's a really easy going guy. Sure, people get frustrated but he was fine. And for your information Werliegig, a pedal will not turn the guitar on/off.. A pedal will add a certain effect to your guitar. If the AMP was not working, then yes, the guitar won't work. So your "rumour" is BS.

Like I said, Keith wouldn't hurt a fly. He's pretty chill, but he's a totally energetic man when he's into his music performing live, lol. That's cause he's got passion.

[angelleatherandlace]

Well said. I uploaded this so people could see that he is an entertainer. I've seen so-called entertainers get pissed and walk off stage not caring that their fans came to see them. That isn't an entertainer. That's someone who needs a different profession!!! Keith got over it and put on one hell of a show!!!

It amazes me how they can throw and catch those guitars like he does.

@1AGirlNamedGoo I seen one of his development episodes where he did that and started spinning around. haha. It was hillarious. I'm still laughing about that.

[docofswank]

@werliegig Keith Urban always tosses his guitar...it happens. He's as classy a human being and as caring a performer out there.

[nicholasczapiewski]

you're right it's not a reissue but the original "Clarence" had the neck and middle pick up removed, perhaps he bought 2 and had them professionally removed on this one, and physically retired the original.

[musiciandude18]

nicholasczapiewski, Thats guitar is not a reissue, its the same as his old one they only made 300 of them.. keith has a few from what i hear

[musiciandude18]

JONBON4EVA, that is not true that fender he is using is one of his many 40th Telecasters, this one is in much better condishon that the one he has had since the 90's

[1AGirlNamedGoo]

He's a legend - an absolute Trooper and Tonk tough with everything going for him!! It really was the best show I've ever seen!!! And angelleatherandlace what great footage!! You had brilliant seats- Im so jealous!!!! lol I'm going to watch more of your vids now- thanks for posting it!! I love seeing him live - his dvds are always on at my place =) lol.. and how cool are his band!! Man they never miss a beat!

[1AGirlNamedGoo]

everything to the crowd each and every night and I reckon he was feeling more like he let someone down or didnt get to do as he intended, not chucking a hissy fit or something =) gosh I saw him recently and it was Wednesday night and he said it was a monday - he was so embarassed after he said that!! I couldnt believe how embarassed he acted - buried his head in his hands and kept apologising! I think he was disappointed he couldnt give the crowd everything he intended, but he did nothing wrong

[1AGirlNamedGoo]

You can tell he's upset/ angry to a degree, but when he threw the guitar, I thought he may have just been passing it to someone, like other people pass it when they want to run around without a guitar, obviously something wasnt working, but I'm very impressed at how he held himself and just made the most of it and yea, he's great with/out the guitar isn't he =) at least he didnt storm off or anything =) And I can only imagine how he would be upset if he couldnt play his guitar cause he gives

[myrockisCOUNTRY]

wow keith urban is awsome!!!!!! Brian Nutter is awsome for doing that solo great!!

I Love Keith Urban!!
