George Strait Final Concert Tonight

birddrops — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 01:37:05 GMT

At the Dallas Cowboys football stadium (not sure of the name of stadium) in Arlington, Tx. My youngest son and three of his friends left Tucson after work yesterday at 5:00 pm and drove straight through to attend the concert.

Anybody going? I guess you'd already be there if you were attending. Love George!!

I would love to be there for this event. I'm sure it will a sad one and some tears will flow. George has always been such a wonderful performer always so appreciative of the fans who have supported him all these years. Hope everyone enjoys this concert, I bet Vince Gill will be singing and playing his heart out. Vince is really a soft hearted compassionate person.Wonder if they will do a tape of this ?

Vince is one of my favorites too. George Straight, the last of the cowboy hat guys. They all wear skinny pants, tennis shoes and muscle shirts now. Even an earring and tons of tatoos. The world, she is a changing.

Not only that but the true country singers come dressed for their concerts. Not with ripped and ragged jeans and tee shirts that look like they should have been in the waste basket years ago. It never fails to up set me when these people are performing that they don't dress for the occasion.

Hi cater - not to go off topic on my own thread, but about two weeks ago I left a message on the Show me thread for you. I apologized for having been rude to you in the past. I had hoped that you just had not seen it, but I thought it might be possible you did not want to accept my apology. Again, I really regret having been rude to you and I apologize.

Also agree with you about George and Vince.

Yes Cody, she is changing. My son is 24 and is into all the new country singers as well, but he has always loved George as he is his Dad's favorite. Two years ago I gave them tickets for Christmas for a George Strait concert in Phoenix. His first time seeing George, and today his second.

Birddrops, I will go and try to find it I did not see it. Thank you for the apology. And I am sorry if I said any thing to upset you.

We DO still have Alan Jackson though. And he is a good one. I have seen him in concert twice. I wish I had seen George. How cool that your son has seen him twice. That guy is a classic and his music will live on just like George Jones and Hank Williams. The end of an era in country music. Classy guy.

Cater,it was posted May 23. I was hoping to run into you some where, so I'm glad I did tonight. Of course you never said anything to upset me. I had hoped that some who post on that thread might have pointed it out to you, but I guess it wasn't to be.

Love Alan Jackson Cody. I have seen him once here a few years back. Great concert! I was lucky to have seen George way back in the 80's twice, before my son was even born. My husband who is his biggest fan was only able to see George once, last year. I know he wishes he was there tonight.

Birddrops I found it and I was there that day I guess I didn't read back far enough to see it. May be every one thought I had read it and just did not say any thing Thank you again.

I've seen him in concert several times through the years. Always great.

He also does tv commercials for one of the auto dealers around San Antonio. They are always good, and he always looks great!

Saw Vince's concert in April.....was soooo good. George is one of my faves too .....I agree, the cowboy hats are dwindling ...At least .Alan Jackson and George and Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks and Merle and Toby Keith and Brad Paisley,Trace Adkins and Jason Aldeen still wear them.(:

The kids just returned from the concert after driving all night. There were four of them taking turns driving. I didn't know this, thought they were spending the night in a hotel.

The concert was, of course, awesome lasting nine hours from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Performers included Asleep at the Wheel, Miranda Lambert, Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill, Vince Gill, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Jason Aldean. That's all I can remember. George Strait's son Bubba also performed on stage with him.

The concert broke attendance records with over 105,000 attendees. Previous highest attendance was the Rolling Stones in 1981 at the Louisiana Superdome.

I love Alan Jackson and Vince Gill too of course.

Can't say I've ever been a George Strait fan although I do have a couple of his CDs and really liked some of his songs. But for the most part I find his voice kind of blah and boring. Not that I totally dislike him like some others I could name. Just chiming in to say I much prefer to of the guys mentioned in this thead, Alan and Vince and a whole bunch of other better singers, writers and musicians too.

But ole George sure had a good run!
