This was from an outdoor festival here in Canada at Craven Saskatchewan back in the early '90s.

Great video. I won't get into the "this one does it better than that one" crap. Even with the number of hits he has, George does a lot of covers in his shows but I've never heard him do this one. He still sings the music "he likes". That's the ultimate in respect as far as I'm concerned. I think it's also interesting to note, he's playing a Takamine guitar. Never seen him play anything but American made guitars. Thanks for posting this video, I found it quite by accident.

@basgambler1211 It is "You're an f... idiot"--learn some grammar or you will be judged poorly! Anyhow, not a fan of Webb Pierce (and it is not a Webb Pierce song either). Pierce is good, but he sings it too fast. Loretta Lynn (Vinyl only) and Ted Hawkins are my favorites.
Today, Strait does a better job with this song. Back when this video was shot, his voice was just too pure. Now he has a some gravel in his voice. He still needs a better arrangement. I stand by my critique.

@RemoML Your a fucking idiot! I have listen to Webb Pierce and he can not touch "King George" sorry to say. Let me tell you if George did not do this song people would not even be mentioning Webb Pierce. If your a Webb Pierce fan why don't you just be thankful that George did the song. It was not even a number one hit for him, so George Strait must really respect the guy for doing it.

One needs to sing "There stands the Glass" with the understanding that the glass represents an anesthesia for pain and not as an upbeat ditty. Take a listen to Webb Pierce, R.I.P., Conway Twitty, R.I.P, Loretta Lynn, or Ted Hawkins, R.I.P, all of whom do a better rendition.

Personally,i liked George in the 80's but his music is pretty much always the same,i pretty much took more of an interest in Jamey Johnson,but George is still ok by me.
