For over half a century Merle Haggard has been a champion of the misunderstood, the outcasts, and yes, even the outlaws. Forging a new path because the one Nashville had charted was too polished and removed from real life for his liking, Haggard and his Bakersfield brethren (including Buck Owens) were the forefathers of the alt country movement that took root in the '90s. In fact, fans inclined to buy tickets to Wilco or Ryan Adams would find themselves right at home alongside fans of more traditional country at a Merle Haggard concert, connecting with the man who once described himself as an "Okie from Muskogee" - an uncompromising truth teller who never turned his mind or heart away from the working class. While the last of the Country Music Hall of Famer's staggering 37 No. 1 hits may have been in 1986, his recent albums prove that while time marches on his talent and vision remain steadfast. As he's shown on tour as well as in 2010's aptly titled album I Am What I Am, Haggard is as sharp a social critic as ever. Meanwhile his 2012 album Working In Tennessee proved that despite the title, his heart is still firmly in Bakersfield - and fans are all the better for it.
My jaw was on the floor this whole show. To be a part of such an awesome night was everything I hoped it would be. Just to be there and see the legends singing another legends songs was amazing. I'm so happy to have been there.
The concert was one of the best I've seen. From Miranda to Rodney, Alabama to Skynyrd, the music was sublime! It was very much a historical moment for Keith Richards and Willie Nelson to perform together. I thought Warren Haynes and Billy Gibbons were great! And Kenny Chesney and Willie singing "Poncho and Lefty" was epic. The crowd was engaged and the stars seemed to be totally enjoying the performance! Definitely a wonderful tribute to Merle.
It was such an honor to be a part of country music history and to see all the respect given to a legend
The only thing that could've made this any better would be if the Hag himself were still alive and could've been there.
Absolutely loved it all my favorites . Worth every penny we will be back
The concert itself was great! Emcee got a little boring but artists were top notch. Great variety and great tribute to the Hags music. I was disappointed with ticketmaster. Haven't ordered tickets on line before (sorry, old and techically challenged). I wound up with seats not where I requested, but didn't know that until received tickets. Also purchased insurance that I thought I was just asking for information about Had no issues with concert itself!.

This tribute to Merle was unforgettable. There were so many stars that came out and sang.
I am so glad that my husband and I took a mini vacation and drove to Nashville to be able to be a part of this Very Special Event! It was Amazing. We will always remember this experience!
This tribute concert was an amazing event. Starting with W. Earl Brown's emceeing job, through the opening number performed by Merle's son Ben right through the outpouring of artists signing what is Merle's best known number, the show was everything it was hyped to be and much much more.
I wish I had a DVD to watch over and over again. I hope there's another one next year.
Great line up, great concert! Loved all the artists.
Show was great! Great seats and great sound! Unforgettable concert
This was the most wonderful tribute to Merle Haggard they could have put on. We enjoyed every minute of it. Everyone we talked to the next few days absolutely loved it. Those that did not get to go sure wished they could have. We are so happy we came to Nashville to see the show.
We loved this concert. The venue is great. Easy in and out. Excellent seats.
Over thirty different artists performed Merle Haggard songs in his memory. Once in a lifetime performances such as Kieth Richards and Willie Nelson singing together!
