King George. Doesn't need a huge production, dancers, pyrotechnics, just him, his guitar and a microphone. That is George Strait, pure country, pure talent.
@@daleb1279 Definitely autotune. The big giveaway is the way it sounds when he changes vocal notes. It's almost robotic sounding. You can hear an example of it in Disturb's "Sound of Silence" performance on Conan.. Or in Jelly Roll's song called "Save Me".
The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium is a live album released by George Strait in 2014. The title refers to the fact that this concert was the final performance of his final tour "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour" on June 7, 2014 in Arlington, Texas. 104,793 people were in attendance, the largest ever single-show attendance at a U.S. stadium. An all-star lineup joined Strait on stage.
This was his Farewell Tour… one of his last tour concerts. The other ladies are country stars Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Faith Hill and then Sheryl Crow . They all respect King George very much.
The artists on stage with George all were opening acts for him when they first got their respective starts. I've seen George several times over the years and I saw Martina and Maranda open for him when they first started out. Great shows!!!
Yes, they are artists! From L to R: Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Faith Hill. My favorite was his duet with Miranda Lambert to How Bout Them Cowgirls.
The song is drawing a parrallel between his realtionship and a western movie, where quite often the hero of the story "rides off into the sunset." It even says, 'as the "credits roll", a sad song starts to play, this is where the cowboy rides away.'
This is when he stopped touring for a year or so. It was kind of like a farewell concert and thats why all those other singers are there. Yes thats Alan Jackson.
Yea this was basically suppose to be his "farewell" to major touring. Those other stars being there shows the amount of respect and love other artist have for him. George was in his 60s then
I was living in Texas when Dallas Cowboy's Quarterback Troy Aikman announced his retirement. My favorite radio station followed the announcement with George singing this song. I cried!
In a lot of western movies at the end of the movie. The last scene of a movie is the cowboy (the star of the movie) Rides away on his horse! This was George Strait last tour date, he does shows every now and then!
I’ve seen him several times. I remember before the revolving stage, I saw him in the round. The stage was square and he’d move every few songs to each side of the stage. He’d play a couple songs then move to the next side and on and on. He puts on an amazing show and doesn’t need anything but a mic and a great song. All King George does is stand there in his creased Wranglers, cowboy shirt, boots, and hat and burn the house down. Pure Country and pure talent. ♥️♥️
I absolutely love the Brooks and Dunn performance of this song, when they performed it on a special live show that was honoring George Strait. Theirs is probably my favorite. Though both are great.
Miranda Lambert singing "Tin Man" will blow you away. The 2017 ACM Performance is a must. Just a girl and her guitar. And yes, Tin Man is a play on the Wizzard Of Oz. If Tin Man just knew how badly a heart hurts when broken
George has videos from his “live at the astrodome” concert. The stage was in the middle of the arena and it slowly turned so all the guests got to see him directly.
We saw George and Kacey Musgraves together at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas a few years back. It was a great show. Thank goodness for the big screens behind them and all the cameras.
Nice Reaction Britt!!! George is like...the most revered, loved, appreciated true Texas Country Western Music singer. His music and his life are held in the highest regard by many people.
That was his retirement from majors tours. He does shows here and there, but not big tours. Those behind him were country icons showing support for George Strait because he was such a influential person in country music.
That was supposed to be his farewell tour dubbed " The Cowboy Rides Away" Tour. I saw him with Martina in Newark,NJ for it. King George is my favorite all time
It's funny because he is much older here but this is one of his early songs. But check out All My Exes Live in Texas for the most classic George Strait, and also, Fireman. Amarillo by Morning. Adelaide, for some later high-energy Cajun fun.
@@chlupl oh yeah I know what you mean and I've actually performed a number of his songs live in a honky tonk band I was in for a long time. Fireman and Am I Blue were definite crowd-pleasers, people would dance their asses off.
@@stevedahlberg8680 I did sound for a solo singer/entertainer here in Texas for a while that could pull off Willie Nelson and people would forget that he was the one singing, lol. Been in Texas my whole life and people here sometimes all me where I'm from, cause I have such a bland and nonspecific accent. That said, I sing a lot of Strait and sound straight off the back forty, cow tippin', have to go a country over for a girlfriend to not date family, kinda redneck country, lol.
@@chlupl I was born in Texas and spent the first part of my life there and then a whole bunch of time there even to today because of family and friends but at some point we moved to Kansas and so now I've got this blend of Kansas and Texas twang, which is interesting because the two are quite different.
You are ALWAYS one of my favorite reaction channels. But this is the KINGS final tour. A 60!!!!! time #1 country chart toppers final go around. Not enough respect for this man. 60 number 1 singles. No one has ever done that. No one ever more deserving. Keep up the great work Britt.
We played this song at my dad's funeral in 2015. He was always a cowboy whether he was still working on a ranch, riding saddle broncs in a rodeo, breeding quarterhorses, riding on a trailride or driving a semi.
This was a great show where George, was about to retire and all the model's as you called them was all country singers Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, and lot's of other 's, yes they were all singer's
My favorites from King George are So Much Like My Dad; I Cross My Heart; You Look So Good In Love; Love Without End, Amen; Carrying Your Love With Me; The Cowboy Rides Away; What’s Going On In Your World; Today My World Slipped Away; When Did You Stop Loving Me; I’d Like To Have That One Back; The Best Day; and I Know She Still Loves Me.
This wasn't really his last concert but he did retire from major touring. All of those behind him were all top country artist along with Sheryl Crow. He is looked up to and respected probably the most of any country artist ever! King George is truly amazing!
I was helping my girlfriend move one day, we didn't break up She just Moved out of town and this song What's on the radio. Of course we change the words to 'When your girlfriend moves away.'
I have seen George Strait 2 times in 2 different venues, neither had a revolving stage. However, revolving stages were a BIG thing in the late 70's, George like me is old enough to remember them. As you said, in large stadium venues, a revolving stage allows for the sale of all the seats, even those that would be behind the stage. George Strait did all day long concerts with 10 or 12 other big name artists. Both times I saw him they were concerts that started at noon and George Strait came on last and finished about 10 pm.
Great reaction love! This was at the Houston rodeo, he played here every year. The astrodome had the revolving stage, seating all around. They would bring the stage out after the rodeo events each day & a different singer/group would perform each night on the stage. This may have been one of the last rodeos in the Astrodome before they shut it (and Astroworld) down. Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, maybe Cheryl Crow(?)would've most likely been there, probably many more. I used to go to several performances a year. It's all been shut down almost 20 years now - the Astrodome was called the 7th wonder of the wold. The day they shut these down - Astroworld (2005) and the Astrodome (2008) was a heartbreak for all of us that grew up here, and a landmark in history that would forever change the Houston Rodeo (worlds largest) & it's concerts.
@@JennyJohn50 That’s no problem. I think this concert in Dallas is the first time he ever had the rotating stage outside of Houston. I’ve seen him several times in Dallas and Waco but I never seen the rotating stage at any of the shows other than in Houston when I would watch it on tv in the astrodome days
Mrs Britt that what I love about your channel , you always look into these song with such detail , and for me it's so appreciated.. you got us a Friday Fact , I hope so I enjoy those so much .. Thanks Young Lady ..
Each concert date he had the “ backup singers” open for him. They are wonderful singers on their own. I was blessed to see him on his farewell tour and Vince Gill opened for him. This song was the last song he preformed at the end of the night. You should listen to “ I’ll always remember you” it was wrote for his fans and when he sang that song I just cried like a baby from the emotions of that was a dream come true to see him preform live and it was also his goodbye song. Please give it a whirl.
George Strait always ended his concerts with "This Is Where The Cowboy Rides Away". He didn't perform on any revolving stage in the four times I saw him in concert back in the 1990s. This was his "Fairwell" Concert". But, he still performs a few times a year. Revolving stages are great, I saw a "Jefferson Airplane "concert on on in the Spring of 1968. Everyone was there to say "Goodbye" to his touring concert career.
This is George Strat's final concert performance. He is saying farewell to his fans. The people standing around behind him are other Country Music stars, like Allen Jackson (with the Solo cup), Trace Atkins
I'm guessing this is the concert that broke the attendance record for most people at an indoor concert. I vaguely remember reading about it on Wikipedia.. I think it was at the AT&T stadium, during this farewell tour/concert.
There are venues with revolving stages. Here in Phoenix the stage at the Celebrity Theatre revolves and it's a smaller venue so the concerts are always awesome.
Love George Strait! Country artists Faith Hill and her husband Tim McGraw have some beautiful duets highly recommend: Speak To the Girl, I Need You, and The Rest of Our Life. They melt your heart 💕
Just looked up if King George is still doing concerts... He playing 2 nights in July in Nashville at the Nissan Stadium. Ticket prices range from $380 to almost $1500 EACH!!!
I’ve been to many George Strait concerts and he just doesn’t use a revolving stage. In Las Vegas he moves around to each side of the stage so everybody has a chance to see him.
I looked it up. From the web site I was reading. 126 singles of which 112 reached the top 10 of the country charts and of those 60 reached number one. Many amazing songs with this artist. I was not at this concert, but talking to people who were at his final concert. He had guest appearances by an amazing array of country music artists, recognizing all that he has done for country music. A great singer with many amazing artists. I really think you'd like: The Chair Check Yes Or No You Know Me Better Than That Great reaction and I look forward to your dive into this artist.
King George. Doesn't need a huge production, dancers, pyrotechnics, just him, his guitar and a microphone. That is George Strait, pure country, pure talent.
Apparently "the king" needs autotune, for some reason. Lol
Don't know why they used it. Makes that concert near impossible to listen to. 🤦♂️
@@Gutslinger I wasn't quite sure if it was autotune or the acoustics in the venue.
Amen and Amen Dale
@@daleb1279 Definitely autotune. The big giveaway is the way it sounds when he changes vocal notes. It's almost robotic sounding.
You can hear an example of it in Disturb's "Sound of Silence" performance on Conan.. Or in Jelly Roll's song called "Save Me".
If George Strait starts to dance just shoot me in the head......

I can't tell you how many times I've danced to this song King George you are soooo loved and missed
This was his Farewell Tour… one of his last tour concerts. The other ladies are country stars Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Faith Hill and then Sheryl Crow . They all respect King George very much.
Yea this is what I was going to say! ❤
The artists on stage with George all were opening acts for him when they first got their respective starts. I've seen George several times over the years and I saw Martina and Maranda open for him when they first started out. Great shows!!!
Not many artist that can stand in one spot and still get people on their feet like George can
Yes, they are artists! From L to R: Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Faith Hill. My favorite was his duet with Miranda Lambert to How Bout Them Cowgirls.
Love me some George! Grew up listening to him. He is the King of Country. No big productions on stage just him and his voice ❤
You definitely need to go down the George Strait rabbit hole.
Every song of his is great and he has 60 #1 hits.
The song is drawing a parrallel between his realtionship and a western movie, where quite often the hero of the story "rides off into the sunset." It even says, 'as the "credits roll", a sad song starts to play, this is where the cowboy rides away.'
This is when he stopped touring for a year or so. It was kind of like a farewell concert and thats why all those other singers are there. Yes thats Alan Jackson.
George sings for every single person in the crowd. No crazy lights, No fireworks. It all about the music. For the Fans.
Yea this was basically suppose to be his "farewell" to major touring. Those other stars being there shows the amount of respect and love other artist have for him. George was in his 60s then
A few months later he started touring again and is still touring
I was living in Texas when Dallas Cowboy's Quarterback Troy Aikman announced his retirement. My favorite radio station followed the announcement with George singing this song. I cried!
I suggest his hits, "The Fireman" or "The Chair"... Both are classics.
Yes!!!
"The Fireman" is an AWESOME song!
Saw him in Vegas about a year and a half ago........incredible concert! So glad I got to see him!
Love this man's voice
That was a BILLION DOLLAR CONCERT... ONE AND ONLY... I WAS THERE...GOOD TIMES
In a lot of western movies at the end of the movie. The last scene of a movie is the cowboy (the star of the movie) Rides away on his horse! This was George Strait last tour date, he does shows every now and then!
Love me some George! 🤠🐎🤠
I’ve seen him several times. I remember before the revolving stage, I saw him in the round. The stage was square and he’d move every few songs to each side of the stage.

All King George does is stand there in his creased Wranglers, cowboy shirt, boots, and hat and burn the house down. Pure Country and pure talent. ♥️♥️
George is a legend, and one handsome cowboy!
King George Strait! 61 number one song. He doesn't use gimmicks, he doesn't have to.
George strait is king of country he has over 60 number 1 hits he is from Texas
My husband is part of a 2 time award winning progressive country/classic rock band. They always closed their shows with this song. I love it! ❤️
Excellent singer, excellent Human being. Retirement-Respect. Thanks for the great music Ive been listening to him for years...never get tired.
I'm glad that you're coming to love George Strait, the King of Country! By the time he was 60yrs old, he had 60 #1 hits.
George Strait is the King of Country Music. Check out his song I Saw God Today or The Chair.
He closes his shows with this song, and it is absolutely perfect!!
I absolutely love the Brooks and Dunn performance of this song, when they performed it on a special live show that was honoring George Strait.
Theirs is probably my favorite. Though both are great.
I believe Brooks and Dunn could have taken it to number one again!
Another great song and great reaction, listening so hard it made your ears sweat ! Lol. Thanks
Revolving stages are used when the artist is in the middle of a stadium with the audience on all 4 sides
It's always great so see your reactions... And it's really great to see you discover Country Music, and LIKE it! :)
Miranda Lambert singing "Tin Man" will blow you away. The 2017 ACM Performance is a must. Just a girl and her guitar. And yes, Tin Man is a play on the Wizzard Of Oz. If Tin Man just knew how badly a heart hurts when broken
The Cowboy Rides Away tour was when King George retired from full-time touring this is from the last show
George has videos from his “live at the astrodome” concert. The stage was in the middle of the arena and it slowly turned so all the guests got to see him directly.
I was there that night and it was amazing.
We saw George and Kacey Musgraves together at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas a few years back. It was a great show. Thank goodness for the big screens behind them and all the cameras.
Nice Reaction Britt!!! George is like...the most revered, loved, appreciated true Texas Country Western Music singer. His music and his life are held in the highest regard by many people.
Britt, George Straight a love without end AMEN
This was his last tour concert called “ The Cowboy Rides Away “ after 40 years, He originally recorded this song in 1984👍
I just saw George in concert back in November, 70 years old and can still put on a damn good performance!
That was his retirement from majors tours. He does shows here and there, but not big tours. Those behind him were country icons showing support for George Strait because he was such a influential person in country music.
Final performance and lots of popular country music stars in the background!
I love him!! And I watch his movie Pure Country. My family laughs at me because I like watching it over and over 😍😍 😂
You absolutely gotta do Georges song: ((CLEAR BLUE SKY)) it's a great song to react to Britt!! Thank you sweetie for all of the awesome music..😍
I was at that concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Greatest concert I’ve ever been to.
That was supposed to be his farewell tour dubbed " The Cowboy Rides Away" Tour. I saw him with Martina in Newark,NJ for it. King George is my favorite all time
The King of Country George Strait! ❤❤
Since I was about 15 years old. One of my favorite songs is Fool Hearted Memory, which was your first number 1 hit.
That was his last tour. He does still perform occasionally , but for all intents and purposes, he's retired.
It's funny because he is much older here but this is one of his early songs. But check out All My Exes Live in Texas for the most classic George Strait, and also, Fireman. Amarillo by Morning. Adelaide, for some later high-energy Cajun fun.
I challenge anyone to sing All My Ex's without a country accent. He has several that darn near force a country accent just to get the words out, lol.

I'm a homegrown Filipino & i like country music much..i love George Strait very much..
Yes, those are all some country superstars!!
King George. Long live the king. Yes, this was his farewell concert. He was retiring, He has since started doing some limited shows.
My favorite strait tune
George is the king of country music. He lost his daughter to a DUI he’s retired now. This was his retirement tour.
He wrote the song Baby Blue for her. th-cam.com/video/XNsLVCwEfmo/w-d-xo.html
You are ALWAYS one of my favorite reaction channels. But this is the KINGS final tour. A 60!!!!! time #1 country chart toppers final go around. Not enough respect for this man. 60 number 1 singles. No one has ever done that. No one ever more deserving. Keep up the great work Britt.
We played this song at my dad's funeral in 2015. He was always a cowboy whether he was still working on a ranch, riding saddle broncs in a rodeo, breeding quarterhorses, riding on a trailride or driving a semi.
George Strait is bigger than any artist you listen to
George uses a revolving stage or has a microphone on every side of the stage. He said he wants the fans to have the same experience at his shows.
This was a great show where George, was about to retire and all the model's as you called them was all country singers Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, and lot's of other 's, yes they were all singer's
King George!!! One of the Greatest.
He close every show with this song
Honey I love your reaction... watch them all !!!!!! Your awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much!!
My favorites from King George are So Much Like My Dad; I Cross My Heart; You Look So Good In Love; Love Without End, Amen; Carrying Your Love With Me; The Cowboy Rides Away; What’s Going On In Your World; Today My World Slipped Away; When Did You Stop Loving Me; I’d Like To Have That One Back; The Best Day; and I Know She Still Loves Me.

King George performing in the round I've seen him in concert 5 times he is amazing

That cowboy will never ever really ride away…he is the king and he will always live on through his music.
Your such a beautiful person, I hope you do reactions for a long time!!
Listen to baby blue by George strait it’s about Jennifer strait his daughter who passed at the age of 13 in a car wreck
Britt, this was king george farewell retirement concert, thats why the stars were there to pay tribute, hes the cowboy walking away

He is humble and masculine at thecsame time 😊
You are my favorite reactor! You brighten my day with your bubbly personality.. keep it up! 👍
Speaking of solo cups… listen to red solo cup … by Toby Keith . It’s a fun one 😂
Lol Yes all those in the background are also famous artists 😉
There are venues with revolving stages. Here in Phoenix the stage at the Celebrity Theatre revolves and it's a smaller venue so the concerts are always awesome.
THE MAN.
Yes, in the song it's the end of a romance...in this performance he is retiring.
Yes revolving and simple, no flash!
Love George Strait! Country artists Faith Hill and her husband Tim McGraw have some beautiful duets highly recommend: Speak To the Girl, I Need You, and The Rest of Our Life. They melt your heart 💕
May I suggest you check out a video where you're not so consumed by the stag and background singers that you actually listen to the words of the song.
Just looked up if King George is still doing concerts...
He playing 2 nights in July in Nashville at the Nissan Stadium.
Ticket prices range from $380 to almost $1500 EACH!!!
I’ve been to many George Strait concerts and he just doesn’t use a revolving stage. In Las Vegas he moves around to each side of the stage so everybody has a chance to see him.
My Karaoke song!!. Always ending of Western movies when Cowboy rides away!!
Miranda Lambert and Faith Hill.

Check Yes Or No
You Know Me Better Than That
Great reaction and I look forward to your dive into this artist.
YES!!
He designed the revolving stage. So all can see him
It’s good to be the King!
He's a real cowboy. Has a ranch in Texas. Rides every day.
