George Jones Final Concert Knoxville, Tn April 6th, 2013 (part 1)

[@J.R.in_WV]

The energy he got when White Lightnin’ started playing was otherworldly. God let him have one more good show for the books before he took him home. I’ll never forget the day he died, one of maybe 5 times in my life I’ve cried so hard I couldn’t control it.

[@slystonedtuna]

lol

[@LARRYCAL]

I had the pleasure of meeting him on his Bus one night in Oklahoma City back in the late 80’s. He was a really nice guy and a great singer

[@stephanierollins5897]

I was at this show. So thankful to see him .... his last show. My favorite singer of all time! Mr. Jones you will be missed as long as I live. Thank you for giving your all to country music! And giving Knoxville your last bit! You did great that night! And you will always be the greatest country music singer in history.

[@tinascissor1319]

Thanks Mr George Jones for your brilliant work.

[@w.levifrye6973]

Thank you for uploading this! I live in Knoxville and heard about the concert only about an hour before start time. I raced downtown, bought a cheap ticket from a scalper, and made it in. My only time seeing George was his final performance and I'll never forget it. He may have been past his prime, but he was and always will be a legend.

[@1bls]

Love that you said he was the greatest country singer ever. I will only correct you by saying, he is the greatest singer period. Of any genre. We sure miss you old Possum. Your music carries on, in my household and many others. Semper Fi Mr. Jones, I was in the Marine Corps just like you.

[@themister2750]

Rest well, Legend! We all love you and miss you

[@andrewwalters7891]

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

Simply the best there ever was, or ever will be....... period.

My Favorite Country Music Singer Love You George And Miss You 💗

[@alanyoung5153]

He was doing what he loved to do

[@livewithnick]

George was so dedicated to his fans in his recovered years he performed till he couldn’t do it standing anymore.

[@jefferywilliams5878]

This is the difference between the so called country singers that we have now. I'm just saying what happened to decades of country music? And why do these people call themselves country music singers? Walking in the sand wearing a pair of speedo's and drinking a sissy drink isn't country music. I'm saying that if you can't make it in Rock and roll don't sneak in the backdoor and pretend to be a country singer, Kenny, Garth and the rest of you guys that failed at Rock and roll. George thank you so much for giving your entire life to real country music. Your songs touched millions of people all over the world. Unfortunately today we have producers and others pushing junk mail down our throats and telling us it's the new country music, I say bullshit. I'd rather listen to Hank, George, the Hagg, Conway and the other REAL country music singers than listen to 5 seconds of junk mail. And to you young dudes and dudetts, don't let these people push this junk down your throats. Go listen to George Jones,or the Hagg or Alan. And if your eyes start watering up don't worry, it's called tears and that's normal sometimes especially when you're feeling what George Jones is signing about. You can thank me later. Your welcome.

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

AMEN !

[@andyfrancis3974]

jeffery williams Well said, so true.

[@bouzoukiman5000]

George Jones is one of my top 3 favorites in country. I keep seeing people complaining about what's "real country" and that there are rules. I say you just like what you want to and what ever other people like is none of your business.

[@jefferywilliams5878]

@@bouzoukiman5000 I agree110 percent but I don't agree with the industry and how they incorporated Pop Music and light rock and roll into the country music industry just to increase profits for failing Pop music artist. Several artist in the mid 80s and 90s singing Pop music weren't selling many records until the industry slowly started pushing their music as Country and Western music and paying millions of dollars to have these songs played on country music stations around the world. After several years of listening to this music and the increase in record sales lots of country music fans especially the younger generation that enjoyed Pop music started tuning in and slowly this was called country music. I grew up with country and western music. There's still a few stations that play real country music no Kenny Chesney and the other Pop music artist. To prove my point Kenny Chesney and others are still played on mixed music stations. No Jones or the Hag.

[@treystewart2708]

None of them are even close to George Jones level!

[@loriechamblee8972]

I just happened up on this video and I see so many comments talking about he needed to settle down and give up touring. My cousin is that gentleman playing guitar to the right of him. All he really wants in life is to be a cowboy in Tennessee. He had toured enough he had retired and was doing that early. George came and asked him to come out of retirement to play for him. He played for George until he died and then went back on tour with Daryle singletary until he passed. Now he's back living his dream in Tennessee and I doubt he will ever tour again. It was a favor for a man we've all loved all of our lives.

[@loriawesomesingerwolf899]

WHAT A AWESOME SHOW. THAT GEORGE JONES DID.. YOU, LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. FOREVER. AND EVER. GEORGE JONES AKA. THE POSSUM.

[@KHtally]

He passed 20 days later. God bless him.

[@githingithiatv1933]

George Jones was the greatest..

[@RemingtonRidersMusic]

His final concert. This is a real gem.

[@christopherdavid1561]

I saw him in 2011 at the Webster MA Campground, a small venue. It was my 21st birthday and I’d always wanted to see GJ. My aunt who was quite the looker (like a dead ringer for Tammy LOL) got his attention after the show and introduced me to him, when I told him It was my 21st birthday he ordered me a beer.

[@user-hm3hr1er2n]

He still had it and sang better than what we have today sounded great until the end

[@definitiveenergy1878]

So glad this video was taken a couple three weeks before he went on...

[@judymerritt3105]

I wish I could met George Jones , and Tammy , but NANCY , CAME INTO HIS LIFE ,AND TOOK CARE OF HIM ,AND HE CHANGE AND HELP TAKE HIS PAIN AWAY.BLESS YOU NANCY.

[@johnwise8433]

He passed away a mere 20 days after this concert

Nobody can fill his shoes. RIP Possum ❤

[@stephenlamb3929]

It was still him 😢bless his heart! Loved him to death!

[@rickycrenshaw7763]

THE REAL KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC R.I.P. 🎶 POSSOM

[@bran8281]

That was just sad. He never should have been on tour in his condition.

[@cheayunju]

+Curtis Fulwood I agree. But, he seemed to want to be where he was, so it comes down to what he wanted to do until he died. I think the old man wanted to do this. Good or bad, he wanted to be his stage version of him self, because the backstage personal self was just too much.

[@eric2vanleeuwen]

If George Jones says he wants to perform, he's gonna perform. As a fan I would've liked to just be in the same room and people probably had a great time

[@frankdodgee]

GJ said he would be on stage as long as the people wanted to see him. The people WANTED to see him. He loved to sing for them and was doing what he loved to do.

[@SADFORIAN]

I see what you're saying (it made me somewhat sad too), but if he wanted to be there performing, then what the hell? It seemed like everyone (including George) was having a good time. His obligatory sobriety speech was classic too. You could tell from it that he really missed getting high. NTTAWWT

[@MstanhopeTX]

Well, he died from not getting enough oxygen in his blood. I wonder if that could have been treated ahead of time? Or perhaps what he needed was to be on oxygen.

[@AngelaVance-u3m]

I was at this concert, wouldn't have missed it for nothing. The best singer that ever lived!

[@clintwalls5217]

The Good Lord made George Jones and HankWilliams shoes custom,.nobody will ever fill those two pairs!!🌹😎💯

[@HungryHippo25]

He died 20 days later :(

[@donaldmerriweather8718]

He was the best

[@hagenatorrodeohero6998]

I miss you possum 😥💔

[@robbie5984]

What a legend. Is there any other videos you got if this final show? I noticed it is titled “Part 1”.

[@kentbeery4941]

I was there

[@mysteryjesus]

Part 2? Still awaiting

[@agejohanlervik2629]

Rip.

[@MattiasWilhelmsson]

Where's part 2 and the rest of them?

[@loriawesomesingerwolf899]

RIP TO GEORGE JONES. AKA . THE POSSUM.

[@eh4616]

It’s really weird George Jones was at least 10 years older than Johnny cash and he was in a lot better shape I love them both Rest In Peace to them both and all the great singers that have died

[@Kevin-vs6yf]

George Jones was not ten years older than Johnny Cash but just five months and two weeks.

[@marccohen4571]

@@Kevin-vs6yf When they died. Johnny was 71 and George was 81. You can find both on KZbin and George did look much better at 81 than Johnny at 71. I think that is what Elisha meant. Both were very hard on there bodies but I think Johnny was actually worse with the pills.

[@ClayLynch]

Where do I find part 2 ?

[@georgegowman1249]

Sad.

[@billydaniel900]

[@kentbeery4941]

I am glad the error of the Roland electronic drums didn't last long (yes I mean ERROR).

[@alexanderblohme5044]

where's part 2? :P

[@marlenesullivan3113]

That's What I Want To KNOW

[@jonburrows2684]

I bet he didn't sing, "I don't need your rocking chair" that night

[@sheryldalton8965]

Makes me sad to see him having to sit in a chair to perform & his voice weakened.

[@BurtBowers]

GEORGE WAS A GOOD SINGER BUT HE OVERLY PUSHED HIMSELF IN HIS LATER YEARS HE SHOULD HAVE JUST COMPLETELY RETIRED....

[@carolpetrillo1087]

i will always love him, may he rest in piece

[@berniceherrera5003]

Nancy should of took better care of George.but it is about money she could see he needed to stop and rest.enjoy what life he had left.but if nancy really cared she should of seen he was tired.BUT MONEY TALKS I JUST FEEL IT WAS MONEY RIGHT NANCY.WELL NO MORE BUT SHE STILL MAKEING MONEY EVEN AFTER DEATH.BUT IT WOUNT LAST GOD DONT LIKE GREED.BUT GEORGE .AND TAMMY WERE AND ARE THE BEST.NO MORE TAMMY AND GEORGE.THERE NO ONE LIKE THEM .NOT 1
