George Strait Tickets Continued
"Unwound" was George Strait's first single and his first Top Ten hit. This was
followed by "Down and Out" and then a whole series of #1 singles,
beginning with "Fool Hearted Memory" in 1982. He was one of the
best-selling country singers of the 1980s, and one of the few from that
decade who survived the influx of pop-country singers like Garth Brooks
in the early 1990s.
George Strait's 1995 Box set Strait Out Of The Box is the 2nd best selling
box set ever with shipments of 8 million in the United States. From 1997
through 2001, George Strait headlined the "George Strait Country Music Festival"
which included artists such has Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson and many more. The massive stadiums played helped it
become one of the most attented tours each year.
Since 1983, George Strait has often appeared at the "Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo" and even recorded his album For the Last Time: Live From the
Astrodome the last time the rodeo was staged at the Astrodome in 2002.
The event set the record for paid attendance at the Astrodome with 68,266
people. The rodeo event moved to Reliant Stadium in 2003. In 2004, George Strait
topped the Astrodome attendance with 68,679 people coming to his rodeo
concert at the larger stadium. He has played to more than 1 million
fans at the Houston Rodeo. George Strait again played the Houston rodeo February
28, 2006.
