Keith's deep appreciation for his fans

For Keith, the audience's high energy is extremely important because he feeds off of their passion and it's an equal exchange for him.

He expressed to Country Now: "First of all, without the audience, it's just one long soundcheck, so the audience is everything, everything. The audience has so much power to make or break a show."

The star continued: "We as a performer can only do so much, and I've watched our audience night after night after night just give so much to me on stage. When that happens, you can just play forever. If we didn't have curfews, we'd play way longer."

The performer is also extremely aware that attending a concert can be both expensive and complicated, especially for parents, therefore he wants to leave everything out on the stage for his fans each night.

He shared: "The other thing that I really am aware of, especially having kids, when you want to go to a concert, it's a big deal. It's not like going to the movies. It's a very different thing [with] parking and babysitters and like, are we going to carpool and tickets…We've got to get there two hours to line up."

Keith concluded: "It's a big, big deal, and then parking — all the expenses, it goes through the roof. So, my want is to give them the greatest night and to give them everything I've got to not take that for granted."
