Merle Haggard is one of the few remaining living legends of country music. At his age,he is still is a great musician and entertainer. I’m old school, and like to be close to the stage. That’s an impossibility when the V.I.P. section goes from the stage to about 300 ft. back. Of coarse there was a big screen monitor but I’d rather watch a dvd of him. But I shouldn’t complain.At least I didn’t blow 10’s of thousands of dollars at the casino to get those good seats.
