Chris Stapleton performs in concert during Rodeo Houston at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at NRG Park on Thursday, March 16, 2023 in Houston.There's no such thing as a bad Chris Stapleton set. At least when it comes to his RodeoHouston performances.
His four previous shows have been master classes in pacing, delivery and have consistently drawn some of the biggest crowds. His voice is the crown jewel, able to reach scorching, soulful heights.The first several songs during Thursday night's show, including"Parachute" and"Starting Over," were expectedly solid, if a little sleepy. Not bad by any means. But missing some of the urgency of past performances.
The gushingly romantic"Millionaire" was an early highlight."You Should Probably Leave," a No. 1 single and arguably his most standard radio song, drew one of the night's biggest responses from the crowd of 73,101. But something clicked into place when Stapleton kicked into a cover of Guy Clark's"Worry B Gone." The energy felt more immediate. His voice took on another layer of emotion.
"Fire Away" was chill-inducing as it build to the first chorus. Stapleton himself noticed the shift in energy.
