George, you will always be the KING 🤴 of country!

[@xavierparedes5338]

I remember watching you live in the early 80s

[@rhettsdad608jv]

This. This is what country music sounds like.

[@chadingram5036]

From a time when County Music was real and a fiddle and pedal steel made the band! King George, no one has done it better yet! Thanks for sharing

[@laurelclark6389]

I hate to admit it but in the 80s I was into rock n roll. As I got older , the first time I heard him on the radio. I fell in love with his voice. I've been hooked ever since. LOVE HIM

[@SMarieWatson]

Those were the days we enjoyed Gilley's ❤

[@joemmcgill]

I was in Pasadena at Gilley's for this. My Mom was in love with him and I got to take her. It was great.

[@ggsraggyful]

[@martinezaldo10able]

I'm 21 years old I've been listening to George Strait since I was little. I wish I could go back in time to be at this concert, his first songs are the best ones for me.

[@pattamus1]

My favorite live show by Strait, and probably the best recording he's ever done. New fan here, love it.

And his songs really does make my day brighter

[@dennisbosquez.bujipkoi2129]

Man!!! George Strait is awesome, but how about that band?! True professionals!!!

[@gloriawilliams3777]

Love this memory! George and The Band was such a good time. He sang his little heart out. Every time I listen to this my memory goes back to those days of fun and folly. 37 years ago now and his voice still sounds the same. My life has been more enjoyable thanks to George, and a good bottle of 80 proof. Yes Fort Worth crosses my mind ever now and then. Everybody swing! At 70 the HonkTonks are just a memory, good ones but just a memory. I loved the Ace in the Hole band they were the best on the road. They never missed a beat. George has never sang a song that I did not like. I wish him good health and lots of love. I know he is busy making more good music.

[@ecaterinamatcov4374]

Great melodies love ❤️ country music songs from George Strait!

[@DeniseAelick]

Wonderful concert loved it

[@davidsmith8278]

This is awesome just a classic country music concert thoroughly enjoyed it George strait at his peak

[@whatuautado]

This old footage is awesome. Been listening to this and the 1985 one all evening.

[@alcamposr.3771]

I was on the elevated stage for the 1st show Geroge Strait put on for about 2 Hrs. I was friends with the lead guitar player for the Gilley's House Band and got me and my coaching buddy up the stage about 15 or 20 feet from the Band. What a thrill to was to be that close to the band and George Strait. 1985.

[@pegknife]

Some really rare cover songs on here by George like Hank Williams Jambalaya and Merle Haggard's Can't Break The Habit also Bob Wills Cherokee Maiden. Top upload this one.

[@jessiegray1369]

I remember my grandparents listening to Live At Gilleys, and it started my love for true country music.

[@J4ckieD]

One of my favorite concerts to hear the past couple of years !

[@sandybailey538]

Best concert I've heard in years- thanks for making my day better!

[@pamelathompson3426]

[@Dnez44901]

[@aaparker348]

[@Dnez44901]

I have loved George since 86 when he played in my hometown! I wish i had that poster.

[@denisewall1178]

WHAT a FIND!! I DO THANK you!!!

[@backoff7659]

Last time I went to Gilley's I almost broke a tie-rod driving through that pot-holed parking lot , and then one of their little Mexican helpers put a Gilley's sticker on my bumper, ended up pulling off the chrome trying to get the sticker off. It was so far to the restrooms people were pissing in the back corner near the punching bag and pool tables. That place was pretty wild even when it was half-ass dead. Pasadena was a wild town back then, it's nothing like the good old days now. {='(

[@jessemask2562]

My dad used to put W40 on his bumper when he went to Gilleys. He now says he wishes that he had saved them , he recently noted tht my apts had more potholes than the Gilleys parking lot. He used to take me out there when I was a kid. I live just down the street from where the club was.

[@rhondajogage631]

No footage as I am watching...dang, I would love the footage......loving this for sure....footage or not!

[@joycemorris6982]

This was a live broadcast on Westwood 1 Radio.....no video. George mentions it right at the very beginning.

[@gaylehanson1779]

Thank you very much for posting this concert! I love it........old timey country at Gilley's.......George Strait is very wonderful, love his music, from when he first started to the present! I need to find a CD of this concert. It is great!

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

Too bad George Strait retired. Everybody has to leave the business sometime, and he is one of the greatest country singers of all time. I wish him well, and check out Pure Country-- a nice movie. He is a very good actor as well.

[@emmamonet380]

Michael, he only retired from touring, he will still record, but no more traveling, no more on the road shows.

[@Dnez44901]

Actually he has a small tour going on soon. He never retired!

[@forestmullins761]

I actually got to see him last January it was a great show he still has got that magic voice of his

[@gto0188]

He's coming to Houston Tx Livestock Show and Rodeo 2022

[@brendabooher6683]

This was the the good ole days. I was a George Straight fan from the first time I heard him preform. There will never be another place like Gilley's. You can hardly find a place where the Cowboys and Cowgirls still wear their hats, boots and do the two step. The only good country music we have is that from George Straight, Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson, and alot of the great ones that are no longer with us. Some of the music they call country music now days is not worth a crap. Sure wish it was like the days of Urban Cowboy.

[@jillwoj]

OMG! I remember listening to "Live from Gilley's" during my high school years, which is exactly when this aired! Thanks for bringing back some great memories! The time has gone by too quickly!

Gilley's was always packed with welders and plant workers.

[@flashmanzap]

StrategicGathering Hell yeah...lol! I happened to be one of them more than a few times!!!

[@LittleSlim78]

+flashmanzap It must've been awesome to see George Strait there live, bud. It must've been awesome just to go to Gilley's club anytime. From the looks of Urban Cowboy, you guys and gals had some DARN GOOD TIMES over there my brother. You're a lucky guy to have experienced Gilleys bro.

[@lindseyyym8270]

Pasadena/Houston has a lot of oil refineries haha

[@bighunterman77]

what's amazing about George is that he sounds damn nearly the same 30 years later...how many modern acts can say that? i mean besides all the 70's rock bands that break up every other year...George has been going since 82 at least

[@dannyrogers1392]

He's the best one song I can't by him is here we sat at a table for 2 can you help me find what album that's on might not be the name of the song but any help would be awesome thank you

[@dps6198]

I don't usually like live bands because people crowd the dance floor in front of the band making it hard to dance...Gilley's was different people never did that. There was always room to dance.

[@sargrntatarms]

Is this the performance that I took my girlfriend and 2 of her friends to??? He showed up very late...if I remember it was pushing 11:00 PM before he sang the 1st song. So crowded it was 5 or 6 deep at the bar (and there were many bars to get drinks...but all of them were packed so you couldn't get a drink). Anyway, when he got on stage most girls stood on chairs to get a good view...then others stood on tables to see over the heads of the girls standing on the chairs...All you could see was a HIGH wall of people facing the stage. We left after one or two songs and went to the SAN ANTONIO ROSE :)

Gilley's was a really wild place. Today you couldn't run a club like that. The bathrooms were bad. Folks used to piss in the parking lot. The owner Sherwood Cryer was a true character. The only real history of Gilley's you can find is in the book Music City Babylon by Scott Faragher. Great book on country music and how the business really runs. You can find it on Amazon and in some libraries. The author was a talent agent in Nashville, his agency was In Concert Intl. The book has incredible stories, well worth reading.

[@chapito2021]

@@gto0188White people have. completely lost the little culture they had. Sad that in Texas you can’t hardly find country night clubs that actually play country music and people dance to it. They’d rather line dance to rap…

[@kayfabe76]

Was he big at the time of this recording or was he just starting out?

[@floresnashvilledrummer]

Tocooper, by this time he had just released his fourth album "Does Ft. Worth Ever Cross Your Mind". The only songs off that album played here are: The Fireman, Any Old Time and the title track. He had a few #1's by now so he was becoming a household name nationwide and more than just a "guy in a cowboy hat" and his three previous album had all at least gone Gold. Bear in mind, this show was also in Texas where he had been a star attraction even before he was ever a signed act. Later this year he would win Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

[@kayfabe76]
