A little over 107,000 concertgoers were in attendance at that Dead show. According to Billboard, Straight told the crowd, "We got some Aggie's out there? Oh yeah! I'm ashamed to say this, but this is my first time to ever be in Kyle Field... damn. Just invite me back, I'll come!"
Strait debuted two new songs, "MIA in MIA" and "The Little Things," from his upcoming album, "Cowboys and Dreamers." Straight has sold more than 120 million records worldwide, and is one of the bestselling music artists of all time.
