That's right my friends, we saw Mr. George Strait in concert last night!! We stood in line for tickets a few weeks ago and ended up with seats in the upper deck of the new Intrust Bank Arena, but honestly, the seats were pretty darn good. I seriously don't think there is a bad seat there and his stage was in the center, so we had great views.
This is a picture from right before the concert. Leanne Womack opened the show, followed by Reba and then George closed it out. I knew a lot more of Leanne Womack's songs than I thought I would.
She only sang for about 30 - 40 minutes and then they re-set the stage for Reba! Now, I've got to be honest, Brandon and I weren't really looking forward to Reba because we don't like too many of her new songs, but she is a performer! We ended up really enjoying her show. From a performance stand point, she is a better performer than George, but he is still the man when it comes to music!!
Leanne Womack came back out to sing "Does He Love You" with Reba. It was a great duet!
Reba ended her set and left the stage, only to reappear in a taxi cab, wearing a red dress to sing "Fancy"!!! Watch her music video to understand why she did this. I love "Fancy" and it was a great encore choice!!!
Finally, around 9:30 George took the stage! Like I said, George isn't much of a performer, so he rotated around the four corners of his stage to sing.
His band was amazing! I bet he had four or five different guitar players, a piano, a steel guitar, drums and a fiddle.
He also came back to do an encore. One of the songs he sang was in Spanish, so that was a little different, but then he sang a Johnny Cash song and that really go the crowd going! We counted up the number of songs he sang, including his encore, and we estimated around 26 different songs! Needless to say, we definitely got our money's worth with this show!!
This was our fist opportunity to go inside the arena and we were very impressed. It is designed and decorated well, the concourses are wide so it wasn't difficult to move around and the seats are comfy, but maybe a little too close together. When the concert was over, we really didn't have a hard time getting out until we got to the bottom of the escalator and we started piling up like dominoes. We also didn't have any trouble finding close parking and we arrived about 30 minutes before show time. The traffic getting out wasn't bad either. Overall, we had a great time!!
