Alan at the San Antonio Rodeo

[Piper]

Alan's performance at the San Antonio Rodeo last night (02-23) was awesome.  As always, Alan sang to a sold-out crowd with lots of people standing the entire time.  I have had the good fortune to see him every time he has sung at the San Antonio Rodeo; and, I think this was one of his best performances . . . if not his very best!!  Among the many songs that he sang were the opening song, "Good Time" --- followed by "Livin' On Love", "Little Bitty", "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning", "Don't Rock The Jukebox", "Country Boy", "Remember When", "Drive", his new song, "You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore", "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere", "Chattahoochee", and "Where I Come From".  After Alan sang his new song,  he sang "As She's Walking Away".  He had his band member, Monty, sing Zac Brown's part; and, Monty put on a knitted cap like Zac always wears before he started to sing. The crowd loved it. The Strayhorns did a fantastic job with all sorts of instrumental solos during the performance.

I have never seen Alan without his mustache, but he and all of the band looked great.  I would certainly say a "Good Time" was had by all!

Thanks for the good review, Piper! Glad you had lots of fun. Can't wait for him to do another concert here in GA. . .hopefully soon. Would love to see him without his moustache in person. I've only seen without it in pictures and tv interviews. . .the first time was back in the early '90s and I thought he looked a little bit weird but not too bad at all. He looks charming either way. :-)

"ALAN JACKSON BREAKS ATTENDANCE RECORD IN 62 YEAR HISTORY OF SAN ANTONIO RODEO



NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 24, 2012)  Country music superstar Alan Jackson performed at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo last night for the 15th time in his career but never to a larger crowd in that venue.  Rodeo officials have said that Jackson broke the all-time attendance record since the rodeo’s inception in 1950, with nearly 17,000 in attendance.
 
“What a great partnership, rodeo and country music.  Our fans showed how much they support the great country artist Alan Jackson last night with a record attendance in the AT&T Center,” said Pam Rew, Assistant Executive Director San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
 
"The San Antonio Rodeo has welcomed me for a lot of years and it's one of my favorite places to play.  The rodeo and folks in Texas have always been good to me and I want to thank the fans for coming out to see us all these years,” says Jackson.
 
“….Alan Jackson did what he’s known for — he delivered the goods, the honest goods, strong country songs sung from the heart.”  San Antonio Express-News
 
Jackson’s current single, “So You Don’t Have to Love Me Anymore,” is climbing the country radio charts and is available for purchase at all online retail outlets.  The heart wrenching single is from his forthcoming album, a joint venture between ACR (Alan’s Country Records) and EMI Records Nashville.  The video can be viewed at http://vevo.ly/yrfkrc.

The "So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore" sounds like a winner! Piper I'm so happy you got to be there, it sounds like a wonderful list of AJ Songs..  Congrats to Alan! I'm sure he looks Great without the beard, He said Somehere "Denise "liked it" so that is the Important thing. He looks Great,  no matter what. His was neatly trimed when I saw him. It's his charisma that is so charming.He is super polite and such a nice gentleman with that accent, I love.Humble but very savvy...

Ladies faces are so easy to irritate, that it really affected my skin when my hubby came home from Vietnam with a full beard lol perhaps this is why his wife liked it. I think this is a bit personal , sorry. but it seems to be a big issue and his
"Holy Jeans"  too  lol

Piper, thanks for the review! glad you and John had a great time..

Jerrie, the main reason why I like Alan is his great voice and music.
don't really care about the beard and stache, although I prefer him without beard.
he just happens to be good looking too..
