Saw him live at the Hall and he sucked. I was way pumped but he was not interested in being there.
I've heard a lot of people say he puts on a good show so I planned on giving him another shot but I guess that's out the window.

Sad.
Can't imagine how tough it is to lose the ability to do something you love like that.

Saw him live earlier this year. The guy looked rough, we were talking after the show about how long he would last.
here's a recent pic of him....

He used to play the CCA Banquet in Austin every year. It was bizarre, because he would sit up on stage with his guitar and play. Literally, no one would listen to him or pay any attention.
Saw him about 10 years ago. It was a good show.
Gig 'em! '90
Saw him a couple years ago at Gruene Hall, he put on a decent show, but he looked rough. The years on the road had taken their tole. I personally while always liking Charle have always been a much bigger fan of his brother Bruce.
I think he was getting at the last name misspelling.
Bruce played the Royal Theater where I live and I'm kicking myself that I didn't go.TexjbA&M said:

Saw him about a year back. Played for about 45 minutes and then got up. Everyone thought he was just taking a break. Nope, he was done. The "show" was him sitting and singing. George puts on more of a show just by standing. He really fell off the rails. Still hate to see something like that happen to anyone though (Randy Travis really comes to mind here).
Saw him about a year ago as well. He sat for the entire set, and mentioned that he had had some type of knee surgery.
I saw him live and I regret it. Awful show 7 years ago, just kind of had a jazz type jam session the whole time at a packed country dance hall. Never playing any of his known songs.Fishin Texas Aggie 05 said:

oops
He had some good songs but the times I saw him he got so drunk he couldn't stand up. Once he was playing laying down on his back since he was too wasted to even sit.
He's was one of the top dogs in the early 00's and then married one of the Dixie chicks and got all "Hollywood" and started to decline IMO.
Those first 3-4 albums were all gems though and are in steady rotation on my iPod.
Hopefully he will continue to write, be at peace and still be able to make a living.

Wow, saw him several times and am a little bummed that he is done.
This was his best, imo.

That doesn't even look like him!
He made a living being "wild". I never knew it would beat up your body up that bad.
I can't imagine waking up and losing your job like that. Wanting to work and can't has to be the hardest thing a man can deal with. Wish him the best
I would have never guessed that was him in a hundred tries. I saw him back in his prime, it was a good show.
He had a good run. He's 54 for crying out loud. This is why all of the old people tell you to do what you need to do early on. Sucks, but that is how it goes for a lot of folks.
Also....How did you retarts leave off "You're Not the Best" from the playlist?

I have seen him multiple times and his shows are all over the map. One time he was incredible, the next time he was so hammered he couldn't sing. Had to take the liner notes out of the cd to read his lyrics. One time he just looked completely uninterested.
El Cerrito Place is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
Looks like he's led a hard life. That **** will catch up to ya!

I'd argue that not wanting to work, and having to, has to be equally as bad if not worse.
I just want to hunt, fish, and play golf! This sh*t gets in the way!
Man, losing the ability to see Charlie and Brandon Jenkins (RIP Legend!) in the same year is a kick right square in the nuts!
All the God's, all the Heavens, all the Hells are within you.
I briefly met Charlie Robison back in the early '00s. To say the guy was a jerk would be doing all jerks in this world a disservice.
I've had the chance to meet several guys/acts like Aaron Watson, Cooder Graw, Dub Miller, Jason Boland, Kevin Fowler, and others during my time in school. They were all very pleasant individuals and treated me - a nobody - with respect.
Can't say that about Charlie.

Saw him at wolf pen back in the early 2000s, put on a good show then.

She bought him a chicken fried steak for his birthday don't you know.

My favorite song of his, Desperate Times. Seen him many times over the past 20 years and he was always great. Sad news. Check out his live at Billy Bobs album. Gives a good taste of what it was like.
