Luke Gives Away Mic Stand During Show
You�ve seen artists toss guitar picks and towels and water bottles into the crowd. Luke Bryan gave away a microphone stand Wednesday night (July 20) in the middle of a one-hour show for the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush 2011 concert series.
Luke performed a high-energy, 12-song set at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville�and in all his running back and forth across the stage, he smashed into his mic stand a couple of times. So at show�s end, he picked up the stand and handed it to a fan and said, �You can have the piece of crap mic stand. Here, take it home with you.� The fan gave it back to the crew when Luke went to change for a few do-overs. But Luke got a Sharpie, autographed the mic stand and gave it back to the fan.
The other cool part of the night: Luke also did a mash-up of his breakout hit, �All My Friends Say,� and Metallica�s �Enter Sandman.� Luke hesitated just for a second, given the decades-long history of traditional country music played at the Opry. Then he muttered, �I�m sorry, Bill Monroe,� and plunged in, thrilling the 3,500-person crowd.
