Their February 25, 2015, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden led Brian Kelley to thank fans, "We've waited a long time for this", "I've gotta give you guys props. You guys sold out Madison Square Garden on a Wednesday night."{{cite web|last1=Allen|first1=Jim|title=Florida Georgia Line Brings Their Groove to New York City|url=http://www.cmt.com/news/1750892/florida-georgia-line-bring-their-groove-to-new-york-city/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150227061422/http://www.cmt.com/news/1750892/florida-georgia-line-bring-their-groove-to-new-york-city/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 27, 2015|website=CMT.com|publisher=viacom|accessdate=February 27, 2015}}

Concert synopsis

The show began with the duo shooting straight up in the air from apparatuses at each ends of the stage, which had a sci-fi design.

Hubbard and Kelley kicked off the show with "Every Night" and "Smile", two non-singles from their current album, and ended the night with their smash hit "Cruise". "Good Good" and "Smoke", two more non-singles were used for the encore. During the show they went into an acoustic setup for "Dirt". Tyler Hubbard has said he thinks about his father in heaven when they sing that song, so towards the end of it, during the New York City show he called out, "From MSG to Heaven." Opening acts Thomas Rhett and Frankie joined Florida Georgia Line for "Party People". They sang medley of covers which included songs such as Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" and Garth Brooks's "Friends in Low Places".

Critical reception

Jim Allen of CMT.com said about their sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, "Instead of hitting the crowd over the head with the hits from the start, they kicked off with a pair of nonsingles from their 2014 No. 1 album, Anything Goes — "Every Night" and "Smile". By the second song, Kelley had stripped down to a muscle shirt, giving a spotlight to both his gym-rat physique and his tattoos. This move garnered no audible dissent from the strikingly high percentage of giddy young girls in the audience."
