On 8th March, Monday night Tim McGraw performed at the RodeoHouston.
He opened with ‘Real Good Man’ and ‘Fly Away.’ Meanwhile he was trying to balance himself on the revolving rodeo stage. At times he looked shaky. He was wearing an odd country getup with his signature cowboy hat and circulation-constricting jeans. He jumped down the stage and circled the dirt floor while singing ‘Where the Green Grass Grows,’ ‘Back When’ and ‘Just to See You Smile.’ He also has high-fived rows of cheering fans. He finally returned to the stage to perform his new single Still. But due to all the boot-scooting on the dirt he was out of breath. Therefore, he had to struggle to hit the right notes. McGraw has always been very charming while performing. But something was missing in his performance on Monday night. He appeared to be trying hard to keep up his energy. Maybe he was still tired of Sunday night’s Oscar ceremony.
He also sang his singles, ‘Down on the Farm,’ ‘I like It,’ ‘I Love It’ and ‘Southern Voice’. He sang a little of George Strait's hit ‘You Look So Good In Love.’ He almost pulled it off but there were some voice issues. So he urged the crowd to sing along to fill in the straining gaps. After finally settling in his vocal comfort zone he sang his signature tune ‘Live like You Were Dying’ with soberness. It added to the song’s easy sentiment and couples were seen cozying up. While the single ladies swooned to the strapping singer’s tune. The last song ‘Cowboy in Me’ was over before it started. McGraw was long gone but the band was still playing. May be he needed a nap. Or may be Faith Hill was waiting.
On Friday, 6th march Tim McGraw, the veteran of country music performed at the State Farm Arena stage in Hidalgo. There were nearly 7,000 screaming Rio Grande Valley fans waiting for him. Not only did he perform and play music, he gave the Valley a hell of a good time. He sang for nearly two hours covering almost all his hits including “Real Good Man,” “Where the Green Grass Grows,” “Back When” and “I like It, I Love It.”
McGraw was wearing a super-tight jeans but still he managed to sit on the stage. The front row fans gathered around him while he sang, “Just to See You Smile.” While he was performing “Live like You Were Dying” the audience were singing along their favorite song.
The only thing missing in the night’s performance was one of McGraw's biggest hits, “Don't Take the Girl. Get your cheap tim mcgraw tickets before they sold out.
