Thursday night, Kenny Chesney was back where it all started many years ago, Greenville, S.C. After doing stadium tours last year, Kenny decided he wanted to go back to the cities he played when he was getting started. Greenville was a big one for him. One of his first shows in Greenville was a New Year's Eve show at the old Greenville Memorial Auditorium opening for Aaron Tippin. Go Backstage With Kenny Chesney In Greenville.

Kenny said it was a full-circle moment by playing Greenville on Thursday night.  The backstage area had a great vibe with his friends and Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney hanging out by the VIP room. Yes, I had to get a picture with Dabo, since I'm a huge Clemson fan.

Kelsea Ballerini opened for Kenny, and she will undoubtedly be a superstar, too. She is great in concert. Here are some pictures from last night and the rest of the dates for Kenny's "I Go Back" Tour.
