Mark your calendars, fans! This emotional rollercoaster of a concert airs on August 28. As we celebrate Toby Keith's legacy, prepare yourself to hear powerful performances and anecdotes that bring his story to life.

Speaking of his notable songs, did you know that "Don’t Let the Old Man In" was written for Clint Eastwood's film *The Mule*? This poignant piece turned out to be a touching tribute to Toby himself. Furthermore, some of his cheekiest hits, like "As Good as I Once Was," serve as a humorous reminder that while time may wear us down, the joy of living life to the fullest never fades!
