My dad was a HUGE George Strait fan (he thought he could sing like him, lol) We played this as the final song at his funeral & this is really the first time (it's been almost 2 years since my dad died unexpectedly) that I could listen to this song without crying my eyes out :)
So wholesome, I’m just now noticing that he actually broke a string in his guitar, no running it back, no replacing it. Just decided that what he had at the moment would do, great men do that.
this was his sign-off song each time he ended his concerts . Yes I Know this because I am a true fan of the COWBOY . I had the pleasure of seeing him 3 times in my life time . Thank you Thank you Thank you Mr. Strait .
Easton Corbin has some songs that are good too. His voice is very similar to George's (Obviously George is still better, but I find Easton's old music to be decent.) :)
FlyWingZ how is Easton Corbin's voice at all like George straits? It's not nobody's ever will be. He shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as George
And that People is why he is the King Of Country Music Hits after hits. Look how that awesome man treats his fans .. That's a good man right there pure soul ..
My son was a George Strait fan. This one is a favorite of his. 2yrs. Today my son made his journey. Son you are always in my heart. I miss you dearly. I know you and dad are together. R.I.P. Sonl❤❤❤
Come August and after serving my country and Army in and out of Uniform for 40 years, this Cowboy rides away and goes home to where my life began, TEXAS !! :)
This was the last song he sang in concert in Austin Texas, and I fucking was IN AWE!!!! We love you George!! You're sorely missed!! However you did leave a LASTING impression in country, and guys like Eric Church, Milton Patton, and many others are carrying your legend. HOWEVER nothing is better than the original!!
So sad let him go. He left the stages but will perform always in our minds and hearts. The end and the beggining of new era. Thankx GEORGE STAIGT for beeing the way you are, enjoy your life, as we enjoy your music. Don't wanted to, but i did it, yes tears hard to see it, but it is the time. Although it happen while ago, whatching this video looks like it happen yesterday.
Just love you always King George, can't stop listening to your very amazing beautiful talented voice, and the amazing beautiful talented band, wonderful,
I love how at 0:50, there's a shot of the male background singer (Wes Hightower) taking off his ear monitors and wrapping them up at the base of his microphone stand. It's almost as if he's saying "Well, that's it for me. It's Miller time."
I never thought that I would be such a huge GS fan. I saw him a few times at the MGM Grand in Vegas one with Josh Turner and the other with Reba. AMAZING! AMAZING! His songs are always playing in the car every road trip to the river, Vegas etc. and I can watch Pure Country over and over. I am not a star struck person (I've lived in CA all my life) but put me in a room or near him ... hahaha. And It doesn't hurt that he is such a handsome guy!
My favorite Entertainer and singer.... amazing... many points in my life... hung by a thread by his songs... and actually made many of those moments possible... thanks... George....!!!!
This is such a beautiful song & sorta sad as it was George's last big concert. He will always be my favorite country singer. I love you George! Thanks for sharing it Winston.
No. His last big touring concert was Dallas, TX. I have the collectors dvd. This Adome concert was better in my opinion. In Dallas he promoted too many other singers on stage which detracted from his performance. Sorry Vince Gill you should never have taken the stage. Several other were a big disappointment as well. The farewell to Astrodome was pure perfection.
I grew up listening to his music and LOVED every song he ever made. I wish I could have seen him in concert. The only country star I've ever seen and met was Joe Diffie. He put a concert on at our local high school and I went with my mom. She made me go up and shake his hand. One of my best childhood memories ever with her.
You haven't been to a Country Concert until you have been to George Strait concert . If you don't leave out of that building feeling good, find your way to the nearest hospital . Lol . I have seen him 3 times . I represented well if I have to say so myself . Had my Jeans, Boots and my Stetson on. What I say. Lol
I just watched the CBS Special, I have always loved George Strait. He's so down to earth and seems so personable. I think Brooks N Dunn had the most memorable tribute. Amazing.
Saw this artist in Evansville Indiana when he was brand new I cud see the Wrangler logo on his backside women were passing out I was mesmerized I lost my heart that night!!!! Its in the back pocket right below the Wrangler logo!!! God Bless you n urs !!! Thank you for lighting up country music!!!!
I would give anything if he would come back to Evansville Indiana. Or anywhere in Indiana for that matter. I have never seen him in concert. It would seriously make my life complete!
@George Strait no.. kind of number 1 on my want to see but haven't. I had tickets for your Vegas show couple of years ago but got ill last minute, and wasn't able to make the trip. Still hoping I'll make it happen... hear Foolhearted Memory and The Cowboy Rides Away in person
God I miss this kind of music. It's such an incredible bummer what country music has become. George says it in his own words in his latest song kicked out of country. not to mention his duet with Alan Jackson murder on Music Row. mainstream Country music has gone to shit. I don't believe anybody can fill George's shoes.
All my life I've been a hugh fan I would have love to have been to his concert but with my health being sick all the time. The only way I see him sing is on TH-cam or his 💿...
Celebrities somentimes worth much more when they die, than when they were alive. We know he isn't dead yet, but persons like him deserve the way we love him. As much as he love us. Don't forget he's not a celebrity or an artist, he's a true legend, a phenomenon still alive.
No big stage...no fancy lighting..no dancing...just the best damn artist country has ever seen. Crazy how its still just as entertaining
He is the King!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dad was a HUGE George Strait fan (he thought he could sing like him, lol) We played this as the final song at his funeral & this is really the first time (it's been almost 2 years since my dad died unexpectedly) that I could listen to this song without crying my eyes out :)
I know how you feel, It was the last song played at my dads funeral this week...George is the real deal
I love this song...Thank You
This is what a country artist is. No running all over the stage. Just sings a great song.
So wholesome, I’m just now noticing that he actually broke a string in his guitar, no running it back, no replacing it. Just decided that what he had at the moment would do, great men do that.
this was his sign-off song each time he ended his concerts . Yes I Know this because I am a true fan of the COWBOY . I had the pleasure of seeing him 3 times in my life time . Thank you Thank you Thank you Mr. Strait .
I agree that and I have seen George Strait and it was in St.Louis Mo on 2/17/2012
So called country artists of today need to take note, This is country.
agreed. id rather listen to George and Alan Jackson than any other new "country" artist
Easton Corbin has some songs that are good too. His voice is very similar to George's (Obviously George is still better, but I find Easton's old music to be decent.) :)
so right
FlyWingZ how is Easton Corbin's voice at all like George straits? It's not nobody's ever will be. He shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as George
+Austin Dalton what you say.
George Strait is one of the Best. He won't be retiring any time soon. His fans won't allow it!!!
And that People is why he is the King Of Country Music Hits after hits. Look how that awesome man treats his fans .. That's a good man right there pure soul ..
Allen Jackson
a historical event right here
hey my friend
My son was a George Strait fan. This one is a favorite of his. 2yrs. Today my son made his journey. Son you are always in my heart. I miss you dearly. I know you and dad are together. R.I.P. Sonl❤❤❤
35 people probably never heard of the best country singer to ever live
That would be Hank Williams, George could be second greatest.
More like 35000 people if you know what I mean
One regret is I am too young to have seen King George, Alabama, or Hank Jr live... I am greatful I got to see Garth live.
@@colkidglen8802 hank williams did not get much of a chance to be greatest he died 4 years into his career and george is better no matter what
Hell yes
real country music right here
King George!
r.i.p George
This is real Country and I got see George Strait live in St Louis
Urban Cowboy And George Strait Make Me Proud Of Being From Texas
Great song keep the great songs coming love you always
THIS IS THE LAST SONG HE DOES AFTER EACH CONCERT. LOVE THE SONG, BUT SAD IT IS THE END.
Come August and after serving my country and Army in and out of Uniform for 40 years, this Cowboy rides away and goes home to where my life began, TEXAS !! :)
There have been a lot of great ones but none better than George Strait!!
This was the last song he sang in concert in Austin Texas, and I fucking was IN AWE!!!! We love you George!! You're sorely missed!! However you did leave a LASTING impression in country, and guys like Eric Church, Milton Patton, and many others are carrying your legend. HOWEVER nothing is better than the original!!
Don't ride away Mr. George Strait and the❤🤠 Ace in the hole band!!
You can see in his eyes he’s sad that will be his last time performing inside of the Astrodome
Love this song cowboy ride this way ❤ ❤
It's such a beautiful song. He really feels what he is singing. His voice is awesome
its incredible how mr strait can make a live song sound better than album!!!! among the very few!! what a relic this is!!
I was there that night...... Wow, sure brings back some good memories.
Russell Messecar dang. So long ago. I love George strait. I missed all of his 1980 music though. I was born in 2005 lol
Russell Messecar wowwww
Epic And Stupid hey I was born in 05 too
one year ago my cousin HERB SANDOVAL JR rode away JULY 4TH,2015 this was his song "Cowboy Rides Away " I will miss HIM forever.....😢😢😢 August 16
Thankyou for all beautiful country music songs on TH-cam channel ❤
I remember this night at the Dome like it was yesterday!! Damn those were the good old days!!
This has been my theme song for years and pretty much explains my love life.
Without a doubt, one of the greatest country artists ever, thanks George, saw you in the Astrodome in the 80's
Love you George strait and ur music is fabulous ❤❤❤❤❤

So sad let him go. He left the stages but will perform always in our minds and hearts. The end and the beggining of new era.

Always love ❤️ George stairt been a fan 4 many years he's the greatest. We loved to met him .I have every song he's ever sing got them all.
His retiring breaks my heart....but he has given so much for so long....he is LOVED
Deb Enright I hope that he's only retiring from touring. I hope he still does the occasional TV or concert performance.
I love how at 0:50, there's a shot of the male background singer (Wes Hightower) taking off his ear monitors and wrapping them up at the base of his microphone stand. It's almost as if he's saying "Well, that's it for me. It's Miller time."
I love this song!! I hope and wish I can see George in concert.
I never thought that I would be such a huge GS fan. I saw him a few times at the MGM Grand in Vegas one with Josh Turner and the other with Reba. AMAZING! AMAZING!

Mi estrella favorita de Country music God bless him
All my life I've been a hugh fan I would have love to have been to his concert but with my health being sick all the time. The only way I see him sing is on TH-cam or his 💿...

Why are you talking like he's dead? He's 64 today, May 18,2016. Still a young man.
And still not dead he probably chilling at his home in texas
Celebrities somentimes worth much more when they die, than when they were alive. We know he isn't dead yet, but persons like him deserve the way we love him. As much as he love us. Don't forget he's not a celebrity or an artist, he's a true legend, a phenomenon still alive.
love, love, love this song!
What a beautiful song.......stunning
holy god Wranglers will never look the same!!
kick ass song.
King George
George straight is his own Legend..Pure county
Living legend
