I'm a huge country fan, but not had the chance to see George in concert yet.    I used to listen to some strange stuff in college, went to a lot of concerts by bands like Rush, Def Leppard, Blues Traveler, etc.   Got to see Billy Joel on his farewell tour.   Now I listen to mostly country music, I've seen probably fifteen concerts in the past five years - Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry, Tim McGraw, Lonestar, Reba, Brooks & Dunn, among others.    I also am a huge fan of Tower of Power, a soul band out of Oakland, CA.

Roxie, Dan Seals has a (son? nephew?) by the name of Brady Seals who is fronting a new group called Hot Apple Pie.  Really awesome sound, they are truly a bunch of musicians and not singers with a studio band.

My wife and I have seen George's movie "Pure Country" probably 20 times.   We HAVE to get to see him in concert before he decides to retire.   At least he's not a pathetic schmuck like Gar** Broo** who thought too highly of himself to continue making music.

Never miss a chance to see your favorite artist live.Its well worth it and something you will remember.
Not much of a country fan.Some songs are ok.Closest I ever got to seeing a country concert was John Mellencamp.He puts on one heck of a show.Best concert Ive ever seen.
Saw Rush 4 times.Great live band!!Those old dudes can still rock!
Saw Def leppard once.sucked!
Went to an Ozz Feast ::)Really bad mistake!!
Saw Dream Theater 2 times.WOW!!! talk about talent!!!These guys are great!
Went to see Kiss on one of thier farewell tours.If you like smoke and fire it was ok I guess.They had Ted Nuggent open for them.That dude is a lot of fun.He gets you excited to be there and really rocks!
Saw the Who.Really LOUD!Saw AC/DC.To drunk to remember. ???Saw Loverboy [It was free and I was on a date so shut up!]
The guy I really wanted to see live was Stevie Ray Vaungh.He died before I got the chance
This has really got me in the mood to go see a concert.I see that Dream Theater and John Mellencamp are both touring this summer.Life is good!

I bought the old box set years ago when i was Stationed at Eielson AFB, in Alaska.... was a great thing to have when I drove from Fairbanks Alaska to Pittsburgh...... 4,500 miles. Having George along made it that much better.

Growing up on motown, left little room for country music, then I moved south (FLA) for 12 years. Been a Strait fan ever since. Took the wife to see him last year at the "Palace of auburn hills". He took down the house.

I've only been to once concert and that was about a month ago when I went to a convention in Orlando. My son and I spent the day at Sea World and Darryl Worley gave a concert that evening. I didn't expect much cause there was no extra charge for it but my son wanted to go so we went. Boy was it great! it was supposed to be an hour long and ended up going for over 2 hours. I think he sang every song on his two latest Cd's. Funny when we went in we couldn't think of any of his songs but we knew most of them when we heard him sing. The "Have You Forgotten" had everyone standing and many with  tears in their eyes, including me. We had center seat about 4 rows back! Hope he comes up here sometime.
