DownloadGeorge Strait (Vegas #1 shows) OC: …each night. :38
“What my plans are is to do two nights of number one songs. Since I’ve got 60, obviously I can’t do 60 in one night or I may never sing again. [laughs] But I’ll try to do 30. I’ll do 30 one night and I’ll do 30 the next night. So…and as I’m thinking about the 60 songs and the 30 songs that I’m going to do, I’m thinking, well, I’ve got a lot of songs that I have to do on each show that maybe weren’t number ones, like ‘Amarillo By Morning’ wasn’t a number one song. I can’t not do ‘Amarillo’ and there’s songs like that that I will still have to do. So, it’s probably going to be a pretty long show each night.”
