In June (6/15), Strait had a big weekend on a Saturday when he set a record for the largest single-ticketed concert in U.S. history and a new record for Texas A&M Kyle Field for a single event with 110,905 fans in attendance.
The show, dubbed “George Strait: The King at Kyle Field,” included special guests Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman.
With energy pulsating throughout the bowl, Strait greeted the record crowd after his second song of the night, “I Got A Car,” taking it all in. He said, “It’s so good to be here with Catie Offerman and Parker McCollum – let’s have another big round of applause for those two. And happy birthday, Parker, my gosh, what a day, what a place to spend your birthday, right?”
George then told the crowd, “We got a lot of songs to play for y’all today/tonight. What a beautiful night, too, right? We got some new stuff that we’re gonna do also, we got a new album … out in September called Cowboys And Dreamers, so we got some stuff from that we’re gonna play from that for you also, and we got a really special thing we’re gonna do for you, so alright, what are we here for?!”
He added with a smile, “Man, I wanna whoop so bad, but you can’t whoop if you’re not/you don’t go to school here? (pausing) Can I whoop, one time, just once? ‘Whoop!'” to which the crowd erupted. “I had to do it – my son said it’s okay if I did that, he graduated from A&M…’
Fans came early and stayed the weekend in town, filling every hotel, bed & breakfast, and Airbnb within a 40-mile radius.
Strait’s set included “Here For A Good Time,” “Check Yes or No,” “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” “Troubadour,” “Amarillo By Morning,” and “Take Me To Texas” as well as music off his anticipated new album: “MIA in MIA,” “Three Drinks Behind,” Waylon Jennings’ “Waymore’s Blues” and the unreleased “To The Moon.”
