Kenny Chesney treated his fans to an online concert this weekend when he streamed his performance at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's The Joint in Las Vegas online.
 
According to CountryStandardTime, Chesney played old favorites like "How Forever Feels" and "Don't Happen Twice," as well as pulling out the rarely played "Boston." He also performed for obscure requests for "The Coast of Somewhere Beautiful" and "Key Lime Pie."
 
"We knew after the first weekend at the Joint, we wanted to broadcast live again - especially for all the fans who might not be able to afford to get to Vegas, because we're not getting to their towns this summer - but I also wanted to find a way to sort of all the music that led me to the point of this record,” Chesney said.
 
Chesney recently finished recording sessions for his new CD, Hemingway’s Whiskey, which is due to be out on Sept. 28.
 
"Wrapping up my record made me think about all the songs I've sung, the music that's been made...and you know, you get into that place where you know there are songs people want to hear you just don't get to play. What better place to do something like that than the Joint? After all, it's really a loose show...without having to hit all the light cues and the video that's been shot," Chesney said.
 
Chesney is currently finalizing his The Boys of Fall documentary about high school football and its impact on the people who play it.
