Thornton and Cooper duetted on “I’m Eighteen,” before the Mascaraed One took center stage for “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and “Under My Wheels.” Although Jack Ingram and Cory Morrow were cut due to the heavy lightning, Thornton resurfaced to assist headliners Tim McGraw and Faith Hill for a finale of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”
