Dear Ricky,  I have been a fan of yours since I first saw you perform at Austin City Limits I believe in 1990.  We have traveled to many of your concerts and seen you at FanFair about 5 times.  I am so thankful that we traveled to Jasper, Texas and Huntsville, Texas this last year to hear you live.  We will miss seeing you in concert but I will continue to play your CD's.  I wish you and Bettye the very best in the future and hope all is well with you.  Family is really the most important thing in our lives and I am glad to hear that is where your priorities are.  Take Care and God bless. , Submit

Ricky--We just learned of your decision to quit the concerts. My heart is just broken!  You are the only singer that we would travel many, many miles to hear your wonderful lovely voice!  My best friend and even my 82 yr old mother would drive to the ends of the earth to see your concerts and listen to those fantastic songs!  We've been to Dodge City, Wichita (twice), near Topeka, Hutchinson State Fair, and Gove, Okla.  We kept hoping you would someday come to Salina.  You are the best, and we are really going to miss you!  We love you!  But, we can certainly understand your decision.  If you ever decide to come back to doing concerts again, we'll be waiting for you with open arms!  Both Linda's and "Mom", Submit

I took my 22 year old son with me to see Ricky back in October, 2005.  I had always hoped he would perform again in Louisiana so I could see him live one more time.  My son thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the performance as much as I did.  Ricky still sounded as good as he did 15 years ago.  My son now listens to my Ricky CDs.  The song that really hooked me on Ricky was "Life Turned Her That Way" the first time I heard it on the radio.  I am sorry to hear that he won't be touring anymore, but I hope and pray for the best for him and his family.  A fan always, Gloria , Submit

If it is true that Ricky is quiting ...I think he owes it to the fans that have stuck through thick and thin with him for so many years to tell them personally not through the gossip on this already tainted/spammed web site. Ricky is young, vivacious and should be out there cruisin the country, singing those songs, greeting the old fans and making new ones.  He has a one of a kind voice that rocks, but no matter what, the fans can make or break him and he should see that ignoring them and not remembering who they are is not a good deal for him.  Where is that long promised new CD, where are the concerts - it's not Ricky for crying out loud get a clue - it's how he's promoted and how HE treats his fans that perhaps his bookings are less and less., Submit

Comments: We attended all 4 shows at the casino last weekend and Ricky Van Shelton was absolutely fabulous!  On Friday evening he stated that he had been sick and had a sore throat.  This did not stop him from giving a first class show!  We came back for the two shows on Saturday evening and Ricky put on a performance that was oustanding.  You could certainly tell he was feeling better!  His smile was back and he was dancing around the stage to the movement of the music.  The audience was captured with his wonderful showmanship.  We love his music and think he is the best in the country music industry.  I just wish our country stations would play his music.  I can hardly wait until he comes back to the Arizona area so we can go see him again!  I was scheduled to have surgery on January 27, but rescheduled it so I could go see Ricky for the two shows on Friday night and the two shows on Saturday night.  Ricky, you are an awesome entertainer!  Your voice is one of the best!,

Comments: I dont know if i can really come up with the right words to say how much i enjoyed this show on 8/5 in Piegon Forge TN. I have been a fan of Rickys music since the 80s and this was the first time I have ever got to see one of his shows and all I can say is WOW!!! This man not only has a GOD given gift with his golden voice but they way he preforms and interacts with the crowd is amazing. I truly can not wait till the next time I see another of his shows. Me and my friend also had the wonderful experience of meeting Rickys wife Bettye, what a first class lady. She came off from the bus after the show was over to let what fans were left know that Ricky would not be coming back off the bus , instead of turning back around to get back on the bus she took her own personal time to speak to each of us out there, took picutres with those who wanted them with her and sent items back to Ricky on the bus for those who wanted his autograph, she is truly something special. I would highly reccomend to anyone if you get the chance to see Ricky live....GO!!! you will not regret it for a second., Submit

Venue: Casino Aztar ~ Evansville, Indiana May 10 and 11, 2002
Name: Paul *&* ~ Cincinnati, Ohio
Comments: Ricky performed two shows each night at Evansville's Casino Aztar. The venue was packed to capacity for each show on both nights and Ricky played his heart out for each show's audience. I was fortunate to have front row seats for the 10 PM show Friday night. Also at the front of the audience were a group of ladies from Wheeling, West Virginia. They had driven 10 hours to see Ricky and he did not dissapoint his fans. Ricky even chatted with the ladies, good naturedly telling one very thin and enthusiasctic fan, "Lady, you've got the biggest mouth I've ever seen! Not loud, just big!" adding hand gestures for benefit of those in the back. Later in the show he performed "Lieing Here With Linda On My Mind" after being told that five of them were named Linda. Ricky is the consummate musician, staying true to his country roots with sincere covers of classic country tunes. He opened the show with his own "Backroads" leading the audience down a memory lane filled with hits of his own origin before delving into the classic covers of George Jones, Conway Twitty, and Roy Orbison. Ricky allowed each bandmember a solo spot to highlight their own instrument, voice, or song midway through the show. The highlight of this was easily Ron Gannaway's drum solo. Ron performed a flawless tribute to Led Zeppelin's drummer John Paul Jones in a solo derived from Led Zeppelin's classic IV album. Ron's frenetic pace seemed to warp time itself as his drumsticks pounded with the force of failing telephone poles! It was amazing that a drummer so well heeled in country tempos and rhythms could so easily astound the audience with such a raw rock spectacle! Incredible, simply incredible performance by not only a musician but a showman in his own right. Ricky's 10 PM show ran a little long each night. Having not time constraint on the evening's second show, he and the band had freedom to jam and the time to thrill us with real country music the likes of which have not been heard on the radio in years. Thanks Ricky and thanks to the band for making my night special! You guys were great, you put on a fantastic show, and to put it bluntly, "you done real good!" I hope you can schedule a show at Belterra or the Grand Victoria in Cincinnati. If so, I'll see you all there!    , Submit

You've always been one of my favorites. I appreciate your musical talent, but also the man of integrity you seem to be. Your sweet 80 year old Mama is justifiably proud! I've been reliving the fun I had at the concert by listening to your CDs/tapes at home, in my car, and at my desk! I noticed your tour schedule has you in Memphis at the Pyramid in October. I plan to be there, though I'll miss the small concert feel I had from the 2nd row at the Orpheum. May God continue to bless you., Submit

Comments: Ricky, thanks for a WONDERFUL show in Memphis on April 27, 2002.  You are the greatest and I really love your singing.  I had a good seat and got some GREAT pictures of you.  You are one of the GREATEST singers.  I just wish we could hear your music played more than it is on the radio.  Do you have a new CD in the works?  I HOPE you do.  I think I have all your records up to this point.  My dream is to someday actually meet you.  Looking forward to the next time you are in the area.  Your band did a great job.  It was truly a fun night!!  Thanks again for all that you give to your fans!, Submit

Comments: It took us two years of "reminding" the Manager at AMT to book you because we knew what a great concert it would be and the crowd you would draw. Sitting in the first row was such an experience, we loved all two hours of the show. We play your CD & tapes all the time.  By the way, Tommy Hannum's latest tape & CD "Chesapeake Blues" is one of his best. The duet included in this CD with Ricky Van, "Let It Be Me," is great.  Ricky, I hope you're on American Music Theater's list for next year ..... everyone that was coming out of the theater was saying how much they enjoyed listening to your music and "carrying on" with the Band.  Keep up the great concerts! Thanks to Jim at American Music Theater for taking us seriously!! , Submit

WE REALLY WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONGS!! MAYBE IF YOU HAD STAYED ON STAGE FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS IT WPOULD HAVE BEEN OKAY FOR THE BAND TO PLAY AND SING THAT LONG.. SINCE YOU LIKE TO RECORD OTHER ARTISTS'S SONGS YOU COULD TRY THESE THAT NEVER BECAME HITS BY ANYONE. GIVE A LISTEN TO "SWEETHEART" ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY THE BEE GEES AND ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINCK, "SHE WEARS MY RING"... RECORDED BY RAY PRICE AND ELVIS PRESLEY... BITTER THEY ARE HARDER THEY FALL"... RECORDED BY LARRY GATLIN... OR "MIDNIGHT"...

Comments: Ricky did a fantastic concert at Luray.  If you were not able to be there, you sure missed it.  His mama and family were there and it seems he really outdid himself.  Of course, he is always the best, but Monday night was special.  We love you Ricky, been following you since 1987 and can't wait for you to finally come back to MD in September., Submit

Comments: I have already put this in Guest Book, but we're still talking about RVS concerts in Oklahoma.  We've driven many miles to see Ricky Van Shelton & hope to still do that, but it was just so great to have RVS in Oklahoma! We enjoy the concerts so very much, not only hearing the best voice ever and the great band, plus a gracious man BUT because his concerts make us feel so good & we have so much fun!!! (the lady mentioned earlier sat behind us & we talked before the show.  She was a L. Van Dyke fan from way back, said she'd never seen RVS & when she got up to leave we told her she was really going to miss some great music!}  Anyway, OKLAHOMANS are RVS fans & hope you'll return soon, can't be soon enough for us!!!!, Submit

Comments: Ricky Van Shelton put on two outstanding concerts I was glad to see him in concert again and was not dissappointed I also was glad to hear him end each show to "I Did It My Way" its so true and fitting even though the radio station that introduced him only played two songs of his that day if you live in the Turlock/Modesto area listen to The Ranch 93.9 as they play him a lot and Ricky please keep doing it your way. P.S. also thanks for autographing my hat and picture of you as my wife and i collect autographed pictures of the stars we see in concert and we have a wall we hang them on i was very glad to add you to "the wall" P.P.S i was also real impressed that he let each of his band members do a song solo as most just give each band member a few seconds ricky gave as much time as they needed to complete their song truely impressive im sure band members line up to play for him., Submit

Comments: I was able to have my lifelong dream come true when I saw Ricky in concert in Muskogee. It was truly the best nite of my life being able to enjoy his awesome voice. He really gives it his all and a very good job he did--indeed. I truly hope that he will come back to the area again so that I can enjoy another great nite of music by the BEST entertainer around. Also, I would just like to say to the lady who left your 2pm concert saying your show really stinks--she obviously needs her head examined. Believe me when I say it was the greatest show I have had the pleasure of attending and the money I spent on my ticket was the best money I have ever spent and I would do it all over again.  PLEASE come back real soon, Ricky. You always will be my very FAVORITE performer. Thanks for a great time!!!!, Submit

Comments: I have been a Ricky Van Shelton fan forever, but this was the first time I have seen Ricky in concert.  I live in California and have family living near Muskogee. When I found out that Ricky was going to be in concert in Muskogee, I arranged my vacation schedule around that concert because I wanted to see Ricky.  Let me tell you, this was without a doubt the best concert I have ever seen!  Ricky is absolutely fabulous and he sounded better than ever!  We were seated second row from the stage so we had a great view, and I was able to get a few close up pictures of Ricky - can't wait to get them developed!  Ricky sang all of my favorite songs of his.  His rendition of "Okie From Muskogee" was fantastic!  Merle couldn't have done it that good.  Ricky's voice is true pleasure to listen to; I could listen to him all day.  Anyone who is a  Ricky Van Shelton fan who has never seen him in person, you do not know what you are missing!  I highly recommend seeing Ricky in concert, you won't be disappointed! Ricky, if you see this, please come to Sacramento soon!  I will definitely be there!  You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rhonda, Submit
