08/02/08 - THE JOINT, HARD ROCK HOTEL, LAS VEGAS, NV

Bryan starts off the 2008 tour schedule with a small bunch of West Coast dates - no doubt planned to tie in with the Grammys in LA on the 10th (where BA's song picked up a win for 'best gospel'). Start of the tour is 'The Joint' inside 'The Hard Rock Hotel', Las Vegas.

As for the show... pretty basic stuff apart from the inclusion of the new single 'I Thought I'd Seen Everything', obviously this was the first time it was performed live.
