( FILM-Crazy Heart)
Jeff Bridges is thanking Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry for providing the audience for the big concert scene with him and Colin Farrell in ``Crazy Heart.''
It was filmed September 18, 2008 at
Journal Pavilion in Albuquerque.
Bridges says ``that was kind of wild'' having a real country audience at a real concert venue.
He and Farrell did two songs for ``Crazy Heart'' during the intermission between Montgomery Gentry
and Toby Keith.
Bridges says ``to fit it in that little slot was kind of disconcerting'' because they had limited time to set up, get in character and perform and then, get themselves and the equipment off the stage.
But, he says ``it turned out all right.''
Very all right, since he won an Oscar.
``Crazy Heart'' comes out on D-V-D and Blu-ray today.
