George Strait Kicks Off Strait to Vegas Shows With Record Crowd
. With his Resistol cowboy hat on his head, his signature Wrangler shirt and denim with a well-worn acoustic guitar and the expert Ace in the Hole Band backing him up, Strait proved once again that he is the undeniable "King of Country Music" and consummate entertainer. As he churned through hit after hit, he lived up to the Las Vegas Review Journal's bolstering observation, "George Strait is someone you can legitimately say is in a league of his own." Strait also took a moment to pay tribute to Merle Haggard who was not only an icon for Strait but also a friend. "We'll never get to hear Merle play live again, but his music will live on forever," Strait said before performing a medley consisting of "Mama Tried," "Fightin' Side of Me," and "My Life's Been Grand," with Strait pausing at the end in remembrance.
