Music reviews of For the Last Time: Live From the Astrodome
Music Review: One of the best!!
Rating: 5 Stars
I personally loved this album. I have been a die hard George Strait fan ever since I can remember remembering anything. Now before you read this review, please note that while I may seem overcritical, I realize myself that I seem this way, but I just expect so much from the greatest country singer EVER!! I do have some critical spots that I would like to touch on, though. For the most part, if a song feeds off of the original tempo, then please don't speed it up as George's band did on this album on songs such as "Check Yes or No", "Write This Down" and "The Fireman". Even though "The Fireman" already had an up tempo, it still ran a little too fast in my opinion. He did a wonderful job on "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" and "Run". Now keep in mind that this was a concert and not a dance. At a dance, you might want to up the tempo to keep the crowd alive. At a concert, people go to enjoy the music and it's meaning, so there's no need to change anything. On "She'll Leave You With a Smile" again, the band sped up the rhythm too fast. If George would have taken more control and got the band to go at the right pace, then this album would be far more better than it already is. I will be buying the DVD because I want to know what extra songs he sang are on the DVD and not the album, plus I could watch a George Strait concert til I went blind. God bless "The Greatest"!!
Description of For the Last Time: Live From the Astrodome
Guaranteed To Work Or Your Money Back - Please Note All Monies From This Sale Go To A 501 (C)3 No Kill Animal ShelterIt's nothing short of amazing that it's taken George Strait 22 years, 29 albums, countless awards, and a few dozen No. 1 singles to record a live album. This concert, recorded at Houston's legendary Astrodome in 2002, finally fills that void. A straightforward set of hits from across two decades, For the Last Time covers the ones one might expect: early-1980s hits like "The Fireman" and "Amarillo by Morning" through 21st-century cuts such as "Run" (a bit less ponderous here than the studio version) and "She'll Leave You with a Smile." Though he's occasionally downplayed "Murder on Music Row," his controversial, radio-unfriendly duet with Alan Jackson protesting Nashville's paving over country traditions, he sings it here with no apologies. His presence is so consistent throughout that it might have been nice to include a few more deviations from the hits, like the sparkling version of Bob Wills's "Take Me Back to Tulsa" that showcases members of his outstanding Ace in the Hole band. The quality of his studio work notwithstanding, the stage remains Strait's true milieu. --Rich Kienzle
