The first time I entered the Astrodome was in 1974.**  The KING proudly enters the HOUSTON ASTRODOME on Sunday, March 3, 1974, in a bright RED Chevy Blazer. I watched Elvis that night, and eventually got to meet him after the show with my Grandmother, who was a close friend of Elvis and a songwriter with Acuff Rose publishing in Nashville.  Since that show, and the many, many shows that I saw in the Astrodome, I had always dreamed of someday playing in on that floor.  When Reliant Park was built next door to the dome and the Houston Rodeo moved their operations there, I figured that was a dream that had slipped away.  in 2005, the Dome was re-opened during the rodeo for the biggest rodeo "after party" in the world. Almost exactly 31 years to the day , I was able to fulfill my dream of playing the dome on March 5th, 2004, with Sheila Marshall.  Thank you SOOO much Sheila.  You are an angel. 

AND, a shout out to Brother Rick (His name really is Rick Brothers) , the drum-dude for Gretchen Wilson, for being so kind.  See ya down the road brother.

Below are some shots from the March 5th show.  I hope you enjoy them.
