  • My inlaws knew & lived close to this wondreful peformer,He was TRULY a "LEGAND",I wish he was here to "WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME!!

  • In my opinion George Jones (First King) and George Strait (Second King). Thank God for both ..... they keep our legendary country songs.... We love yu

  • @MsLovegeorge Glad you mentioned George Strait!  They are both great singers!

  • I have had the pleasure of seeing him several times listend to him growing up and he performs at Renfro Valley a couple times a year.  Has not slowed downed much. The last time did a tribute to the troops that was awesome. He is jst a big old country guy who did what he wanted and when he wanted. Truthfully think he learned his lessons.

  • God Bless George Jones!

  • my all time favorite musician, his songs touch someone somewhere all the time....

    

  • i wanna touch his hair :33

  • He is the king of country and a true gentleman too,i was too young to go with my parents when they used to see him and they met him a few times too,when my dad died i wrote to George and he sent me a personally signed photo,i thought that was such a lovely gesture from him and now i just need him to come back to england so i can see him live.

  • There is no other like this man! he is the best country singer ever!! I grew up listening to him & still can't get enough but one thing on my buket list is to see him in person. you rock George!!

  • George is the king of country!!!!!

  • great job .

  • George Jones will always be the king of country music

  • i saw george in knoxville tn with merl haggard and conway twitty young girls were throwin panties at good ole george !!!!!!

  • i dont even like country but i fucking LOVE george jones!!!!!!

  • George is probably the only person in the world that just cannot sing bad even if he tried.

  • George Jones is Awesome.......I could listen to him all day long. 

  • Yes! He is King George!!

  • love george

  • oh whoa listen to them! wow thats the crowd . very sweet. Come here to me Dwight lets give em those shows all ready now

  • gosse bumps everytime i hear this mans voice

  • what country music should sound like

  • Your deff right george jones is great and so are the other old timers but you really can knock all the country singers today some are really good and do sing real country music like brad and carrie underwood is great so lets hope some of the new singers bring back some old time country music

  • @MrBobbyJ22 mr bobby carrie and brad a terrible examples of trying to be REAL they are mainstream and are killing REAL country music guys like jamey johnson is REAL

  • The singers today think they are singers, they cannot be great singers like the old ones because they do not listen to what REAL country is. They should be so humble that the great ones are natural, they didn't have to tour and promote themselves, the good ol' radio stations did that for them. George you will always be King of Country.

  • Sing it George.

  • I heard his music growing up and have seen him twice in concert, both times in Knoxville once, and once at this venue about 10 years ago and he still had the energy that this older concert shows.  No one can touch his talent.

  • I saw george for the first time in 63 or 64 at the chestnut inn in kansas city. I was fresh out of high school. He came over and sat at out table and had a beer. I have seen him several times since. He is the greatest there ever was!

  • I have to agree with Krulehill Billy

  • such an amazing performance

  • None of these pieces of shit can even hold their guitar picks,all the legends that have come and made Country Music what it is,Hank Williams III is right the Grand Old Opry Ain't So Grand Anymore!The days of Outlaw Country are pretty much over,cause these Jackoffs are all in the clutches of the Music Business and trying to make a ton of money just like Record Execs!

  • George Jones is the Best country singer of all time,,,,, His voice is starttin to fade a little But hes still the king of country ,,,,,,,,,,,,todays country is not country its just a bunch of city silckers singing pop music and callin it country cause they dont know what real country is .Taylor Swift and the other country wanna bes can go back where they come from and their music with them

  • George Jones is the man! This is what country music is all about...right here! today's country is not country, it's twang pop. There are 4 men in COUNTRY...George, Johnny, Haggard, and Jennings!

  • @1radiogoddess What about Conway? He's a legend too!

  • Nobody sings a country song better than George Jones

  • I saw George Jones in concert last week. He still isn't ready for that rocking chair

  • Kenny powers rules!!

  • Goosebumps!

  • wish george jones is 30 again.....and let his music go on and on and on!!

  • @Csurvivor168 OH his music will go on and on for ever and ever i do belive,I LOVE GEORGE JONES,i grew up listening to him and ill die listening to him!!

  • momma here is your man,,,

  • @daytonafuntime....i saw him last year...he sounded great! a little weathered but for a 79 yr old man..he sounded good.

  • Happy 79th Birthday George - one and only:)

  • A Living Legend....All that needs to be said.

  • george you are the best wot can i say

  • ?? WHo will Beat OBamster in 2012???

  • George Jones is "country music". People ask me if I like country and I respond...

    "i like George Jones" that is country music.

    I lost my father 3 years ago this summer. He turned me on to George 25 years ago.

    "This ones for you Dad"

    Jeff

  • For all you George Jones fans. Enjoy.

  • No, there will never be another Jones......

  • Excellent. ,The people love George.I do too.

  • the great possuim . who is going to replace him ? some new singer will . most don't watch the country family reunion . John C. conley was on . bill anderson asked " why don't we hear the good music ". John said " the only time you hear MY music is IF I am in that town for a show . "

  • beer me!

  • Thank God for 78's and the internet so we can hear this music...oh yea beer too

  • George Jones' songs are probably the greatest drinking music ever

  • met the top man george jones in the apollo theatre glasgow scotland when i was a kid 1972 im 43 now loved him melba montgomery backed him that night my dad passed away 5 yrs ago 2 nite looking back at wonderful memories of a nashville superstar and of course my auld man played the grand tour at his funeral im a killers fan also love the las vegas super band

  • We love you George.

  • It's awesome that the comments on this video remain so current. People like us take it upon ourselves to keep the legend alive wherever we live. I've seen him 5 times in various places and I now live in Alaska but I will always remember this concer with my dad.

  • they should make a movie about george jones starring jim carrey. it would be awesome. yeah.

  • Him, Buck and Merle the best

  • truly the very very very very best country singer in the world honest

  • ur sooooooooooo right, i cry to a lot of his songs.

  • george one of the best

  • pittresident: YOUR AN ASSHOLE! BITE ME

  • George was certainly at his best here. Does anyone know where this concert was held and what year?

  • @meog1259 I think its 1985, to me his voice was at its best from the late 60's to late 70's.

  • i miss my dad he always let me walk one step behind him so i wouldn't get hurt.

    Thats what a called Protecting a child.

  • this song is the one that i will listen to

    at all the

  • Huh? You don't even make sense, what do you mean by "this song is the one that i will listen to at all the"? At all the what?

  • YOUR AN ASSHOLE. BITE A BIG ONE!

  • The greatest country performer of all time.

    Greetings from Sweden!

  • I m from canada and have been to 7 george jones concerts, and, would go again even though his age is catching up with him.....best country singer of all time (no offence to hank) anyone who doesn t like jones ain t a real country fan, period!

  • I'm not even a country fan, yet I think George Jones is one of the best singers in the world. He's in a class of his own. I like to think of him as a "country-soul" singer because his music moves the soul. My only regret is that I went to see him in concert many years ago during his "no-show" period when he was missing a lot of gigs. Seeing old videos like this one on youtube is the next best thing.

  • you did good this is good

  • there will never never never be another George Jones

  • @simonne234 amen to that one

  • George Jones is the undisputed king of country music, a true legend, none will ever come close to the depth and feeling in his voice. I have been priviliged to see him in concert twice and he is still the greatest.

  • I have seen George Jones three times in Canada and I know if possible I will see him again

  • @analyzer525 HELLO

  • @analyzer525 I know the possum isn't as good as he once was, but I'd sure love to see him just once. Hopefully, he'll be near my town next year :)

  • @analyzer525 I too had the privilege of seeing him in concert. Due to an unfortunate accident one year ago March 19th I was unable to :( Hopefully I will get the opportunity to see him again...

  • @analyzer525 amen brother hes the possum

  • Love this one & I Love Dwights too!~

  • Thanks for sharing this video

    Cheers from Belgium

    Eric - Studio ChinChan

  • If that ain't country I'll kiss your ....

  • There will NEVER be another "George Jones". These "Johnny-Come-Lately" except Alan Jackson can touch "Possum".

  • Heard him twice-At Old Gilley's Club in Pasadena Texas in the 1980s an at Fort Bend County Fair in Rosenberg Texas around 2000 I have all his records on vinyl just about

  • Great songs by the fantastic George Jones, now that is country singing.

    Taylor Swift is not country.

    Please have a look!

    Cheers!

  • Great voice, haunting lyrics...just beyond fabulous! I LOVE YOU GEORGE!!

  • swear to god george jones the greatest ever

  • I love this song but also love this clip. For any young bucks watching this take notice how George keeps including the audience while still keeping eye contact with the band. He raises and lowers his voice to suit also. Just take careful notice. This is an outstanding performer. he knows at all times what he is doing and what all others are doing. Idol should take notice.

  • My husband, daughter and I got the privilege of seeing George at the Big Fresno Fair and what a TREAT it was!! He is AMAZING! It began to rain and he still sang! George Jones is a class act!

  • george is the best i seen him hes still as good as ever ty for posting

  • i love all of gorege jones music. i seen him in Sudbury when i was 9 or 10 years old i got to shake his had .

  • your comment was so respectful. From one muician to another. God Bless Ya

  • Please GOD,don't let HUSSEIN obama make George start cRAPPING.

  • This one makes me tear up. So many memories.

  • music today is just not the same as it was back then hes so great so many Legend's are now singing to the angels but they always remain in our hearts

  • They curtainly don't write em and sing em like that anymore

  • I wish the crowd would shut up and just listen! For me this is the greatest Honky Tonk singer ever! Every note, every nuance should be heard! How tone-deaf can they be?! Why are they there? Just to party?! Go somewhere else! This man should be heard.

  • My best mates song :)

  • i too would like to know where to get this dvd compilatio...just downright awesome

  • ernest tubb record shop is where i found it its only19.98 its called live in tennesse

  • anyone know where i can buy the dvd of this concert

  • Sinatra said George was the second best singer that says alot!

  • I was never a fan of country music at all, but had to listen to it in the 60's because one of my parents loved it. Now that I'm older I have to say I was a closet George Jones fan all along. These are my favorite songs by him. George Jones is a true country music legend and an American musical treasure.

  • the best

  • ol george what else can be said....he is a great country singer and a good gospel singer too.

  • Not many singers who are INSTANTLY recognizable: George Jones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam...there's no mistaking these guys. The Possum is KING!

  • I think it was Vince Gill who said "if we all sounded like we wanted we would sound like George Jones. Absolutley the best voice in Country music history

  • I am sorry but waylon jennings said that

  • Didn't George Richey , Tammy's last husband, write this song? It is a great song...George JOnes is such a great singer.

  • we were front row he talked to me

  • Ive seen him 5 times the last time with my Dad right before he died, so glad we went George is the greatest country singer in the world

  • i dont no which george jones your talking about but this one is still alive lol

  • He's THE KING.

  • I second that brother!

  • When you hear George Jones sing you don't have to ask who it is. Thats what I think anyway.

  • yea your right.

  • Remember Ferlin Husky.

  • got the chance to see him live and its something i'll never forget..he's the best!

  • Me too! i bet i was the only 8 yr old in the audience back in 2003

  • mee too! i was the only 13 year old! lol its something ill never forget!

    ILOVEYOUGEORGE

    Merry HO HO

  • There are two kinds of singers...George Jones and those who ain't.

  • George is the man...

  • Going to one of his concert would surely be one to remember.

  • AMEN

  • George is one of a kind...one of the great ones...and I really like his band, particularly the piano player, who I know presonally from my hometown...Great playing, Kent.

  • George's voice chills me to the bone.

  • I seen him in st john his like a rear gem his great

  • Always a favorite of mine. This song sends chills down my spine.
