Often, live show music videos are the result of rush jobs or just being a bit lazy, but for Joe Nichols it was a very conscious decision. The 'Gimmie That Girl' video was shot at Cowboys in San Antonio, TX and is the first such video Joe has done.
"There's nothing like performing a song in front of an audience," Nichols said. "The energy is something that's hard to describe. I've wanted to do a live concert music video for a while now, and when we were discussing treatments for this new single, I knew the time was right. If you've never been to one of my concerts, this music video gives you a good idea of what it's like."
Well, then I think I need to get myself to a show sooner rather than later!


















So weird... to me it's a VERY lazy song and doesn't play well in front of a crowd - I'd be bored to death at this tempo in concert ... and the crowd is WAY too animated for something at this tempo... there's a disconnect there I think... I would think he would release a video like this for something that's high energy. But that's why I'm sitting here and he's up there I suppose ;)
I am not a fan of live show music videos and I was really disappointed that Joe and his label made this decision. If they want to show what attending a show is like then put out a live DVD but the videos should portray the song, especially with this song, it needed a "story" video to develop the song and give it more appeal.
What was the deal with the band in suits? And I agree the crowd was way too animated for this slow of a song, it's supposed to be a love song..where are the couples? Just doesn't work for me.
