"Are y'all ready for a party tonight?!" yelled Miranda Lambert in her heavy Southern drawl to the cowboy-hat ridden crowd of country fans in the Bryce Jordan Center last night.

With an encouraging ruckus of clapping, screaming and foot stomping, the "Live and Loud" show with Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean and Lambert began.

Lambert kicked off the show with a 10-song set, including a slew of tracks with "relationship revenge" themes--one of which she dedicated to "all you girls out there who have been mistreated by a man!"

"He's out there holdin' onto someone. I'm holdin' up my smokin' gun," she exclaimed in one song.

Lambert gave quite a rock-star performance by flipping her hair all around and running across the stage, launching into several intense guitar solos.

The audience failed to react much until she performed the two songs that have received airplay on country radio: "New Strings" and "Kerosene".

Like Lambert, Aldean got in touch with his rock roots. He integrated a couple of Guns 'n Roses songs into his set, which instantly got the audience up on their feet. He proved to be a favorite with the fans by doling out handshakes, taking pictures with the lucky fans in the front row, and allowing some people to sing a few bars of one song into the microphone.

The crowning glory of Aldean's set proved to be his last song of the night--his number one hit entitled "Hicktown."

His question of "How many hicks we got in State College, Pennsylvania?" received an uproarious response from the crowd, complete with screams and, of course, cowboy-hat-waving.

After nearly two hours of opening acts and another half-hour wait, it was finally time for the main event: Bentley.

Amid high-pitched screams of, "We love you, Dierks!" Bentley performed an action-packed show that showcased his vocal and guitar talents.

He mixed in some old favorites like "Every Mile a Memory" and "Settle for a Slowdown" with fun tunes like "Domestic, Light, and Cold", during which he demanded, "Bartender, we need about 3-4,000 bottles of domestic, light, and cold right here!"

Needless to say, this was the perfect way to get a Penn State crowd excited.

Bentley had a sentimental moment before singing his latest single, "Long Trip Alone." He reminisced about his younger days, when he played in Nashville bars long into the night, even after the bartender left the room.

"It's such a shock to see this section full, and this section full ... God bless you all for giving us a good life," he said.
