2000 concert tour by the Dixie Chicks
the Got7 tour

The Fly Tour (2000) was the debut North American concert tour by country music band The Chicks' (formerly the Dixie Chicks), performing sold out shows in over 80 cities across Canada and the contiguous United States. The tour was primarily in support of their sophomore album Fly (1999), as well as featuring songs from their debut album, Wide Open Spaces (1998). The Chicks would also feature several new or specially selected songs at various stops on the tour, as well as an instrumental bluegrass “jam” piece titled “Roanoke”, alternating with another instrumental called simple “Brilliancy”.

Announced in mid April 2000, this was the Dixie Chicks' first headlining tour. Moreover, the group was jumping directly to playing mostly in arenas. with an average attendance of over 12,000. It was the biggest country music tour in 2000 by any single act (trailing only the joint Tim McGraw–Faith Hill Soul2Soul Tour) and the sixth highest grossing tour of any genre during the year. It did however win Pollstar's Personal Manager of the Year award for the group's manager, Simon Renshaw,

The shows themselves attracted both parents and their children. In particular, young girls could be seen dressing as their favorite member of the trio. Video screens would sometimes show the music videos that went with a song, and other times would show humorous interludes, such as the trio's own fashion disasters from the past. Critical reaction to the Fly Tour shows was generally positive. The New York Times called it "a slick, good natured show that seesawed between clinging love songs and declarations of female independence." Rolling Stone did criticize the "overly ambitious stage and lighting design" for detracting from the on stage intimacy between the three group members and their backing band, while KAOS2000 magazine said "this trio of hotties know how to put on a show and definitely had control of the big arena stage." A Citysearch. com writer said that Maines' voice was not the strongest in performance, but benefited from the joint strength when combined with the sisters'.
