I’ve been a George Strait fan since he came on to the
country music scene in 1981 and have seen
in him concert a couple times. When the press release came out last fall that
George was doing his farewell tour I immediately checked the tour
schedule for dates. I signed up on the
arena website and got advance notice and was able to buy tickets a day prior to
when they went on sale for the general public in October so we got great seats
almost on the floor. This past Saturday
night was the big night and we traveled to Lexington Kentucky to see George and
Martina McBride’s The Cowboy Rides Away
tour. I splurged and got a room at the
Hyatt which is attached to the arena so that made it extra nice in that we didn’t
have to fight traffic before or after the show. Martina sang for an hour and
then the stage was reset and George played for just short of three hours
including a couple of encores. It was
hands down the best concert I have ever seen. The sound was fantastic and
George was, as always spectacular. Even
hubby (the classic rock fan) said George was a great entertainer. The tour runs
through June 2013 with more dates to be announced for 2014. If he comes with in
a 3 hour radius in 2014 we are going again!!

Hello Anette, how very exciting for you. I also have been a George Strait Fan for a very long time. I wonder when he would say Good Bye to his fans. Lucky you to see him one last time. Hugs Judy
We were doing a spinning demo at the same time (to promote the KY Sheep and Fiber Festival) at the KY Crafted Expo in the exhibition hall attached to Rupp arena. I wish I had known you were here!!
Hey Annette,
thank you :)
