But it sure did not feel like retiring Strait on Saturday night at the Tacoma Dome , where captivated a full house with a set that includes the masterful career , which lasted more than two hours and referred to some of his biggest hits .
So we’ll call George Strait “The Cowboy Rides Away" turns on a victory lap for the man known as the King of Country.
With a burst of energy honky- tonk, used Strait "The Fireman” to make things work from a square stage, placed in the center of the arena which provides a good view from all angles. Every two songs, Strait moved to a different side of the stage, giving fans the opportunity to connect - and take a few pictures of Instagram.
The crowd stood in awe some songs when Strait came to his monster hit “Ocean Front Property" , the title track to his 1986 album , No. 1. He pulled the song with perfect pitch and poise easy type show that only has a real natural. The song sparked the first of many headaches for the day despite Strait no longer travel for a living.
Strait and his nimble band danced back and forth along his deep intimidating discography , chain his wayward son " Arkansas Dave " Bubba (2009 ) and guitar explosion of country-rock of " Here for a Good Time" (2011 ) to " When did You Stop Loving me? " , the lament of a cowboy 1992 "Pure Country" .
The show highlights Strait impressive consistency throughout his career and his ability to follow the line as neotraditionalist who has a good year for beats for the radio. Even when the material is not stellar, like the Strait new single "I Got a Car”, authenticity shines through and manages to elevate it.
After a marathon set of 27 songs, Strait came back out for an encore of five songs , including "All My Ex Live in Texas " and an extended version of Johnny Cash " Folsom Prison Blues" , which included one for each member band .
The last goodbye as his last song "The Cowboy Rides Away" stated, it was actually the hardest to say.
