It'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

live from the astrodome is awesome
George Strait is amazing as usual in this live from the astrodome cd. This is classic George! All George fans will love this one for sure. He is such a talented country artist. You always know what you can expect from George, and he always delivers. I can't say that about many of todays artists. George has been consistant through out his career and I've never been disappointed with any of his albums. I really enjoyed this "LIVE" version. It's the next best thing to actually being at one of his concerts! Buy this one you won't be sorry!

im not even a country music fan
I love this cd I heard it first on a PBS special. I then got the cd and became a george strait fan (a big fan) I listened to "amarillo by morning" around 50 times as soon as i got the cd. I purchased "strait out of the box" since then (love it too) the songs are wonderful I really like the genuine feel of his songs and the energy of the music. I cant recommend this cd enought if you like country music or just great music buy this cd you will be very very plesantly surprized.......................
