CHARLEY PRIDE IN CONCERT:
As one of the most successful African-American country artists of all time, Charley Pride stands as a pioneer of the genre and an enduring icon of traditional country music. With more than half a century of recordings and performances under his belt, Pride is a seasoned veteran on the road, traversing his decade-spanning discography with a care and tenderness that underscores his passion for the stage. From the familiar twang of "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone" to the lap steel-drenched lilt of "Just Between You and Me," Pride covered all his greatest hits at his 2013 shows, drumming up enthusiasm for more of the same on his 2014 tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born to poor Mississippi sharecroppers, Charley Pride had aspirations of being a major league baseball pitcher before an injury led him to invest in his other passion: music. After recording several demos in Memphis in the late '50s, pride signed with RCA, releasing his first single in 1966 with "The Snakes Crawl at Night." Pride's third single "Just Between You and Me" really broke things wide open, landing at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning him a Grammy nomination. In 1967, he became the second black performer to ever take the stage at the famed Grand Ole Opry, paving the way for an astonishing chart run that saw him score eight No. 1 records between 1969-1971. Pride has continued to record and tour over the decades, racking up an impressive array of country hits and proving himself an indefatigable performer with his continued showmanship on tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Great show and he sounded as good as back in the '70s. He went through his entire portfolio and some songs I hadn't heard before."
"Close your eyes and you'd never imagine it's a 74 year old man up on the stage belting out one classic country hit after another for a solid 90 minute set. Charley Pride sounds every bit as good today as he did 30 years ago."
"It was all I expected & then some. Charlie played to the crowd & didn't limit himself to the main stage, instead moving to the side stages to interact with the entire crowd, making them feel more a part of the show."
My mom and I loved the concert...we knew every song (and the crowd did too)! Hope he comes back next year. Charlie Pride is a treasure.
My parents and auntie went to Charlie Pride. They were really happy with his performance and would definitely attend again. They said his voice has not changed and he is an excellent entertainer. They said that acoustics in the room was great too. They did complain about the price of the tickets being too high.
We have seen Charley 3 times in the past. This show we thought was his best in terms of length and songs he sang. He is not slowing down.
A great all time singer! I highly recommend going to a Charlie Pride concert. Even at his age he puts on a great show.
Charlie Pride put on a oustanding show, the band was great and had great seats at River Cree.
This concert was worth every cent! I love the venue, the staff are amazing... and no matter where you sit it's one of the best seats! Thank you for a once in a lifetime event! Charlie Pride is a most heartfelt performer! Love him and his music!!!!
Charlie Pride can still sing despite being 84 at the time of this show! He covers all of his popular songs and a couple of new ones he just released. He is certainly is a Country Music Legend and lives up to that title. Anyone who knows country music should go and see him ... it truly is a great time!
An outstanding evening of music . From the first note sung to the last he kept the audience enthralled. If you like good music you should check out his concerts.
I bought these tickets for my parents and they had an amazing time. They were both very impressed by the views from their seats, the sound, and the performance itself was excellent. Charley put on an excellent show and my parents keep telling everyone how great it was.
Charlie put on a good show covering both new and old songs. Unfortunately age is catching up on him and he may not be performing much longer. If you want to see him, sooner would be better than later.
I first saw Charley Pride in Kitchener Ontario in 1975 and I've seen him a few times since. His voice is as strong as ever and his personality is the best.
Charley Pride did an amazing job. I loved hearing his stories about performances with others and his voice hasn’t changed much since I used to listen to him with my mother years ago.
For a Entertainer that has been Entertaining for a long time, Charlie is still a Class Act all on his own and hope he never changes the way he Entertains his FANS. Hope to be able to see him again.
Really enjoyed the show Great singer and voice. Glad to hear him still performing. Bring him back again
it was a good show,i have listened to Charlie all my life and this was the first time I saw him live
I bought these tickets for my parents for Christmas & they absolutely loved it. They said he still sounds great & can hit all his notes.
This man is amazing and so talented performed steady for the two hours ! Loved it !
As expected, the Charley Pride concert at the River Cree Casino was excellent! I knew it would be but was actually even better than expected! Fantastic smooth story telling voice, great with the audience! Also, great to hear songs of other artists that had an influence on his career; such as, Hank Williams, George Jones, etc. Still a great entertainer and great voice.
Loved the show just very disappointed that there was no available handicap parking and nowhere to sit and wait to get into the event.
We were amazed at Charley's ability to sing at 80! He sang well and entertained the crowd, we really enjoyed him.
