Took it like a champ.
Last night, Luke Combs ended his two-night run in The Gorge, located in Quincy, Washington, in style. Backed by the likes of the hottest act in independent country, Wyatt Flores, along with the Gold Chain Cowboy himself, Parker McCollum, Combs delivered a knockout 23-song set.
With a setlist that included the likes of “Beautiful Crazy,” “Hurricane,” “Beer Never Broke My Heart” and even a medley of covers that included Train’s “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and Shania Twain’s “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?,” the unintentional highlight of the show very well might have been his performance of “Must’ve Never Met You.”
During the performance, Combs’ mic cuts out during the second verse of the track, prompting him to yell “f*ck” before strutting across the stage while the band continued to perform the backtrack. Despite this, the crowd began to erupt into cheers, showing support for the 34 year-old country singer, and Luke took the technical error on the chin, working the already energized crowd during the awkward period.
According to Instagram user Bryan Washington, the mic cutting out was due to high winds blowing over the ampitheater. In his comment on our Instagram post, he said, “It was the beginning of the show. High winds caused some stuff to blow over in Front of House and some inputs got unplugged on Luke’s equipment that affected the feed on the speakers. They had it fixed by mid song.”
The sound crew thankfully recovered and brought his mic back before Combs started singing the second half of the verse and the chorus.
