Strait’s last ride

GEORGE STRAIT Strait had his first No. 1 hit in 1982. Thirty years and three score number-ones later, the mainstream country superstar is on the road with his farewell “Cowboy Rides Away” tour. Who knows if he’ll really quit touring, or if his farewell tour will head closer to Boston at a later date? This show may be the closest chance to see him before you can’t see him anymore. Feb. 23, 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $69.50-$89.50. XL Center, Hartford. 800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com STUART MUNRO
