“It wouldn’t be summer without you!”

So Kenny Chesney yells at the end of his 69-second trailer for Kenny Chesney: Summer In 3D, which appeared Wednesday on Moviefone, AOL Music and AOL’s country section, The Boot.

Kenny will nonetheless spend much of summer without his fans next year as he plans to spend the hottest part of the year without mounting a tour for the first time in eight years or more. With the exception of a comparatively small number of dates, Summer In 3D will have to do for the fans.

The array of images in the trailer are vintage live Kenny, who built his concert film out of five 2009 stadium performances. Laced over snippets from “Beer In Mexico” and — rather appropriately — “Summertime,” the footage finds him vaulting across the stage, slapping hands with band members and revelling in the outstretched arms from the crowd.

“It’s amazing to me how intense this footage is,” Kenny says. “It’s me in a way I’ve never seen myself, and I can’t wait to share it with my fans. I put all of myself into my shows, a lot of heart and sweat and stuff most people might not think is all that important, but I do — and always have. This film captures every little detail in a way that makes it even more important than I thought it was when we were working on it.”

Selling a million tickets a year for eight years in a row, Kenny’s sizeable productions — including a horn section in the band and a chair in 2009 that lifted him directly over the top of concert-goers on the stadium floor — helped him secure three Entertainer of the Year honors from the Country Music Association.

The trailer is not in 3D, and it’s barely a snapshot of what the film should entail, but it’s a pretty good teaser.

“I am completely thrilled that there’s something we’re able to give people a taste of the film with,” Kenny notes. “April is a long way away, and I know I don’t want to wait that long to let people get a peek at what we’re doing.”

Or, in this case, not doing to any large degree in 2010.
