NASHVILLE, TN  [Tuesday Dec.5.2006]  /WMQT.com/ -- The Tennessean's Peter Gilstrap calls the Dixie Chicks return to Nashville and the Gaylord Entertainment center as "Triumphant." He writes, "Just a few songs into the set (after taking the stage to the strains of "Hail to the Chief"), the group lit up the inspired "Goodbye Earl," certainly the "Hey Jude" of murder-by-poison songs, and had the audience in group-sing mode.

At song's end, quip-slinging singer Natalie Maines greeted the faithful: Natalie Maines greeted the crowd sayin, "Natalie Maines greeted the crowd saying, "We didn't have to cancel the whole South. It's nice to be back," she said, as the place went somewhere a bit beyond nuts. "I guess we'll play a few songs between my comedy routine."

PERFECTLY PACED SHOW ­ The Tennessean reviewer writes, "Over the course of two hours of perfectly paced music, the Chicks no doubt were responsible for thousands of weary leg muscles out there in audienceland. They stomped, they stamped, they stood‹many for the duration of the show‹as the controversial trio did (for the most part) what their recent documentary exhorts them to do: shut up and sing."
