The doctors were in at the Bryce Jordan Center Saturday night.

Tim McGraw, a mainstay of country radio for over a decade, hit the stage to support his first album recorded with his longtime touring band, The Dancehall Doctors.

Tim McGraw and The Dancehall Doctors was recorded in upstate New York, with tracks ranging from the rebellious anti-high class and political correctness anthem "Who Are They" to the Elton John hit "Tiny Dancer," showing the range of McGraw's musical interests.

Like the album, the concert was a long jam session of McGraw-style hits and classic cover songs, and it showcased each band member taking the spotlight and soloing for the crowd in the middle of songs.

McGraw and his band were the only act on the bill.

"We had a lot of songs to do, so we figured we'd just come out here for two to two-and-a-half hours and play music for you," McGraw said.

He made a definite point to interact with the crowd, signing autographs while still singing and giving out bottles of beer to a few fans toward the end of the night.

At one point, he disappeared backstage only to appear in the middle of the crowd, and had to be escorted back to the stage by security, never once missing a note.

McGraw's high-energy live performance slowed for a one-man performance of his hit song "Angry All the Time."

"Don't laugh," McGraw said as he walked to the front of the stage with an acoustic guitar. Despite his more-than-adequate skill, he joked that his band doesn't let him play very much.

But for a crowd that was on its feet even before McGraw took the stage, there was little chance of anyone laughing. The swooning women enveloping the stage would have cheered even if he'd forgotten every chord.

McGraw also made sure to mention the controversy surrounding the new song, "Red Ragtop," which tells of a young unmarried couple that decides to have an abortion. The song has offended many in the typically conservative country music world because of its mention of abortion. "I know a lot of people had problems with it, but we think it is a great song and we're gonna do it," McGraw said before singing one of the biggest crowd-pleasers of the evening.

With war seeping into the lives of most Americans, McGraw turned his song "The Cowboy in Me" into a tribute to troops serving overseas. He sang the lyrics about strong-willed people living with stubborn, hardheaded cowboys with pictures of troops with their families in the background. The scene showed the sacrifices families make when their loved ones go to war and the strong attitude it takes for them to get by.

Exhibiting his strength as an entertainer, McGraw and The Doctors kept the crowd on its feet and singing along with every lyric until the end of the night, keeping with what he told the crowd in the beginning of the show. "You know we don't bullshit too much, we just play music," McGraw said.
