MANSFIELD, Mass. —The physical outlines of Toby Keith’s show at the Comcast Center last night were the usual deal — big pyrotechnics, explosions, prominent Ford product placement, including the entire set done as a Ford grille — and the set list included most of Keith’s best-known stuff, a mix of good-time celebrations and hip-hop-worthy ego boost at the intersection of countrypolitan pop, ’70s ...
