    The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium is a live album released by George Strait in 2014. The title refers to the fact that this concert was the final performance of his final tour "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour" on June 7, 2014 in Arlington, Texas. 104,793 people were in attendance, the largest ever single-show attendance at a U.S. stadium. An all-star lineup joined Strait on stage.

    The song is drawing a parrallel between his realtionship and a western movie, where quite often the hero of the story "rides off into the sunset." It even says, 'as the "credits roll", a sad song starts to play, this is where the cowboy rides away.'

    I’ve seen him several times. I remember before the revolving stage, I saw him in the round. The stage was square and he’d move every few songs to each side of the stage. He’d play a couple songs then move to the next side and on and on. He puts on an amazing show and doesn’t need anything but a mic and a great song. All King George does is stand there in his creased Wranglers, cowboy shirt, boots, and hat and burn the house down. Pure Country and pure talent. ♥️♥️

    I have seen George Strait 2 times in 2 different venues, neither had a revolving stage. However, revolving stages were a BIG thing in the late 70's, George like me is old enough to remember them. As you said, in large stadium venues, a revolving stage allows for the sale of all the seats, even those that would be behind the stage. George Strait did all day long concerts with 10 or 12 other big name artists. Both times I saw him they were concerts that started at noon and George Strait came on last and finished about 10 pm.

You should listen to “ I’ll always remember you” it was wrote for his fans and when he sang that song I just cried like a baby from the emotions of that was a dream come true to see him preform live and it was also his goodbye song.

    Great reaction love! This was at the Houston rodeo, he played here every year. The astrodome had the revolving stage, seating all around. They would bring the stage out after the rodeo events each day & a different singer/group would perform each night on the stage. This may have been one of the last rodeos in the Astrodome before they shut it (and Astroworld) down. Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, maybe Cheryl Crow(?)would've most likely been there, probably many more. I used to go to several performances a year. It's all been shut down almost 20 years now - the Astrodome was called the 7th wonder of the wold. The day they shut these down - Astroworld (2005) and the Astrodome (2008) was a heartbreak for all of us that grew up here, and a landmark in history that would forever change the Houston Rodeo (worlds largest) & it's concerts.

    George Strait always ended his concerts with "This Is Where The Cowboy Rides Away". He didn't perform on any revolving stage in the four times I saw him in concert back in the 1990s. This was his "Fairwell" Concert". But, he still performs a few times a year. Revolving stages are great, I saw a "Jefferson Airplane "concert on on in the Spring of 1968. Everyone was there to say "Goodbye" to his touring concert career.

    George Strait has never changed. Decades of country music, 4 decades or so and he's kept it traditional the entire time, at a time where country music has been on life support. So he's basically the compass on the ship. He's also, I don't think EVER been caught up in controversy...and the guy is a billionaire...well probably. No one knows because he's not flashy. He sings and ranches, that's it. Very loved and respected.

    This was the final concert of his farewell tour, he retired from touring to spend time with his grandchildren. All of those artists performed with him for the final concert. Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, and Faith Hill. He is actually touring again on a limited basis, I was lucky enough to be able to go see him last year at the 90th anniversary Houston Rodeo.
    A few songs of his I highly recommend are Write This Down, She'll Leave You With A Smile, and Troubadour. All are amazing and really show off his storytelling and vocal ability.
