I grew up dancing to George Jones with my big sister who was madly in love with him all the way back to when he was stationed at Moffet Field! He will always be the VERY BEST country singer EVER in history!! He sings in my kitchen every day!❤

Vance Davenport, on fiddle, was an absolutely extraordinary musician and one of the nicest people on Earth. I worked with him for a few months, in Vegas, with "The Roy Clayborne Show". He was 17 and could play circles around any other fiddle player I'd ever heard. I'll never forget how he begged me and begged me to take him to the poker room, at The Dunes Casino, after we got done playing. I finally relented and told him we'd see if they'd deal him a hand. They did. We'd played a few hands and Vance leaned over to me and said, "Guy - that guy dealin' the cards is my shop teacher at school!". Well, I got a phone call at about 8 AM the next day and we almost got fired as the house band at The Dunes....I got my ass chewed out in a big way. I had moved back to Michigan and one day the phone rang (don't know how he got my number) and a voice said, "Guy, you remember that little fiddle player that stood next to you on the stage at The Dunes?" It was Vance and he had just gotten a job with George Jones, bought a brand new Camaro, and wanted me to drive from Flint to Port Huron see him perform. I was tied up, with college, and didn't go. I will regret that for the rest of my life. Vance passed away at 46 from renal cancer. I still miss him. Rest in peace little brother. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@mattward2552]

Thanks for the story! From one musician to another!!!

[@1coopjsn]

Hey Guy -- I really appreciate this anecdote. What a wonderful story and memory. After reading this, I watched him closely as he played. He really had a bow arm, didn't he? So smooth. All best to you and may you rest well, Vance.

[@chrisreed3572]

Wow! Amazing story buddy!

[@alanb287]

Two classics, this was fun to watch.

[@alanb287]

I wish I could have met that sweet blonde in blue at 55:19. George could have written a nice love song about her.

[@jyr6329]

Carl Perkins stayed true to Rock & Roll!

[@dwightherrington7793]

I miss him so much.

[@johnnystargel2504]

George, your the best

[@laurabradshaw7164]

Ron Gaddis is so beautiful! George well what can i say there are just no words!

[@juliesmith5930]

George singing with no auto tune singing all live and in the studio. No dubbing. Best voice ever in country. George you filled them shoes and after you we have Allan Jackson and that's it. I'm sad the heart of country music is almost gone. I will keep your songs playing all 900 . Iove you George R.I.P Possum Still listening on 2022and to I die.

[@actownsend7288]

Alan, George Strait, Dwight, Vince, I really love Joe Nichols and Chris Stapleton.

[@goldbeag84]

I was there! Carl Perkins! The part got cut where he said BSShoes song paid his alimony! Haha. Great show! They don't make em like that anymore!

[@stevehera8440]

George looks like he’s having a good time playing here

[@actownsend7288]

He seemed the most alive on stage. Elvis, Sinatra Dean Martin, and Marvin Gaye were like that too.

[@kinneyshoe]

Carl Perkins always promoted the rockabilly sound and never himself.

[@SuzyQ1956]

Love to hear him sing… one woman man. Love when he drops down to that beautiful baritone voice, Ron was awesome he never took his eyes off George. Love Tennessee Whiskey, hate how some cover it and trash it. Some things shouldn’t be messed with and that song is one of them. God Bless DAC and George

[@rarerockk]

Thanks for posting this great material

[@stewartfenton7660]

Carl was never the same after he left Sun Records. On the recorded version of "Matchbox" Sam got a really hard edge on Carl's guitar, that I've never heard him repeat on stage. And he just isn't the same. A really great guy though.

[@francesodle6069]

Blessed 🙌

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

Simply the best to ever do it......and it ain't even close.

[@ealymaysshow]

Good stuff.

[@annalbin]

I just listened to the performance George did at ACL in 1980. (It’s on KZbin.) He sounds better on this 1990 performance. Sobriety? I don’t know. But he sounds fantastic here.

always wondered why George never had an acoustic-elec guitar to hear his strumming techniques better

[@shirleystilwell6093]

You are still missed in 2025, George.😂😢❤

No more blue suede shoes out there but good times

Does anyone know who that is on lead Telecaster? That is some fine playing.

[@jamesrose6882]

Wondered the same thing, I knew his name at one point and he was still in Nashville then. He could certainly fly on that tele that’s for sure.
