That One Time That Toby Keith Played at Sun Valley in Victoria

The news of Toby Keith's passing still stings. The Country legends music continues to trend to top the digital charts. At one point in his early caereer, he made a stop here in Victoria and thanks to one listener, Judy from Cuero, we have a peice of Country music history and nostalgia.  It was a pretty cool lineup becuase opening the show was a local favorite, BOBBY ALLEN JONES & CO and then Toby Keith!  It took place at the iconic Sun Valley Ranch. Oh yeah, it was presented by KIXS108. Check out the ticket stub.

GARTH BROOKS ALSO PLAYED IN VICTORIA:

He appeared at the Walmart on Saturday, February, 10th 1990, the afternoon before his performance. He was coined, at the time, as 'Capitol Recording Artists' and 'the newest in Country music. Check out the clipping from the special event. His biggest hits, at the time, were "If Tomorrow Never Comes,' 'Much Too Young(To Feel This Damn Old), 'The Thunder Rolls,' and 'Friends in Low Places.'He was already a huge star in Country music but we just didn't know it. He performed at the Bluebonnet Convention Center! There were so many great shows at BBC and one show that never happened, read below.

THE SHOW THAT NEVER HAPPENED:

The year before, a gentleman by the name of Keith Whitley was scheduled to play at that very same venue. BTW, I consider Keith Whitley the best Country voice of all time. Just my personal opinion.   That show never happened!  Keith Whitley passed away the week that he was supposed to perform in Victoria.  The cause of Whitley's death was an accidental overdose of alcohol   The singer's blood alcohol content was measured at . 477, almost five times the amount to be declared intoxicated in Tennessee. Did anyone have tickets to this show?
