“If we could all sing like we wanted to, we’d all sound like George Jones”. Waylon Jennings
Who are these people
@@KimberlyFowler-po6mb Are you asking who said it? Waylon.
He's not bad, really a master of a certain kind of tone, and very enjoyable to listen to. But I still prefer the soulful nature of Jim Croce's voice or the darkness and raw power of Howlin Wolf's voice. This quote is credited to a man who did not have a bad voice either.
Everybody from the Beatles to the Stones
Someone tell Beyonce this is country music.
It would be a waste she wouldn't get it today tomorrow or ever. .the sad part is the Opry is lauding and promoting her . Another kick for country
@@possumhayes The Opry’s turned into a joke itself anyway.
What do i know you. @@Mike_Webb78
And show Diddy a Real corn cob.
Dam straight!!!
There is only ONE George Jones. he was in a league by himself.
Accurate 💯💯 There will never be another.
What Nashville has done to country music is an absolute tragedy.
Facts!
Do I know you?? Apparently im. Crazy go figure. Not mother fucking yet. ❤🎉
Lucky for us, there are plenty of other sources.
Nashville ? After they butchered the music, and abandoned the real and the great forefathers, G. Jones, Hank Williams, so many others, didn't Nashville move out of the Southern States ? 😏
I grew up there and I gotta say they havelostt all respect for musicians that have substance..it's sooooooo bad
Hands down the greatest country and western singer EVER
U got that right ✅ 😏 ❤😊 !!++
i loved georges music, but since i quit booze, i cant listen to him anymore.it makes me want to drink again.so i'll keep my memories of george & my sobriety.
Even Waylon said, "If we all sounded like we wanted, we'd all sound like George Jones."
The best country singer of all time.
The steel guitar player wearing a blue Tammy Wynette t-shirt. Priceless!
I noticed that, too. George had a sense of humor.
They had the same band lol. She took control of the jones boys after divorce because they wanted a steady paycheck. George was missing more than appearing. When he did appear a few times he would be alone in some honky tonk alone with him borrowing someone's guitar.
@jsk81680 I respectfully disagree. None of the musicians in this video were part of The Jones Boys from 1975. They were all working steady with Tammy. This band is made up of totally different (but excellent) musicians.
"and thank you Tammy!" @47:59
As I read your comment the video shows a steel solo during “Me & Jesus”…George??
I am 84 years old and George Jones music will always the best to me.
Absolutely sir. I saw him in 89.
What is the The guy that is playing the fiddle, what is his name?
@@sharonstephens3256the late, great Johnny Gimble
87 year old housemate agrees that George Jones was a great one 👍
49years and I feel the same as you..
Someone asked me one time who the greatest country singer was..and i replied "You mean other than George Jones?"
Hey, that's what John R Cash said too!
We have a local radio station in Milwaukee, WMSE 91.7, and on Friday mornings 9-12 they have a show called the Chicken Shack. It's all old country, bluegrass, and rockabilly. Every show has a "Mandatory Jones" segment : )
Early 80s George was George at his best. Same for Merle.
And he was sober mostly lol
George told Randy Travis that Merle Haggard was his favorite singer
"The greatest country music singer in the world." R.I.P George. You are missed. ❤
Merle Haggerty said that everytime he heard George sing he realized he couldn't.
dude was so talented that the rest of life seemed boring.
Dammm…what aperson would pay to see this again..in real life
Watching the fans enjoying the show makes it painfully obvious how far we've fallen. Now people watch the show through their phones and waste their precious time with the artists they claim to love.
👑👑GEORGE👑👑
This is Country at its best. Love ol George Jones. Today’s Country don’t hold a candle to this.
Old george and Hank
yep.
Like I say all the time this new can't hold up to Old country classic ❤
Lord no.
George Strait is great but George Jones will always be the King!
Agreed
Bob Wills.
Still listening in 2024
For years that was out 1964 I listened to going get my frist wife and I still enjoyed it ❤❤😊😊 !!++
Ohhh lisen only one that him and I am still linsen i have been up on bar stool mountain ⛰ before so long George i am still listening to you. !!++
I'm here
The real King... George Jones!
My Pop said He stopped loving her Today was his favorite song ever. I couldn't argue with that.
Just the mention of that song's title makes me want to cry. I can still hear my mother happily singing along with George whenever that song came on the radio.
Soon, they'll carry us away, too.
George didn’t want to do he stopped loving her today he said no one wants to hear that morbid shit and it turned out to be one if not his best.
Nor could I 👍👌
He might have been crazy, but my God, the man could sing a country song.
He wasn’t crazy just drunk and high!!
There never be another JORGE JONES, listening too this old JONES now that I'm 61 years Old sounds just as good now in 2024 as it did way back in the day 40 years ago.
LISTENING TOO GOOD O' JORGE JONES SING COUNTY MUSIC NEVER GETS OLD...
Amen Brother
No one can duplicate his style. Original and one of a kind. ❤
Randy Travis can duplicate George Jones!
(but then he's not be Randy Travis)
The Best music country forever
I was fortunate to see George live twice.
I saw him live only once. Before he came on stage, somebody set up an armchair and side table downstage right; then a handsome gentleman escorted Miss Nancy to the chair and saw her comfortably seated with a beverage on the table. Then George walked on stage. The audience jumped to its collective feet and applauded and hooted for 6 solid minutes while the man stood at the mic gently smiling and waving. During the performance, Miss Nancy kept her eyes on him or looked down in a ladylike way. George looked at her occasionally during the performance, which was, of course, perfect.
@@maggienorris7833 How cool! Nancy proved to be such a class act, & exactly what he needed.
I saw him twice - once with Tammy, and once solo when he had a HELLA flu.
And he STILL sounded great!
Always been my momma always will be ❤
Beat his demons....became a legend in music history in all genres. No one sang with such soul!
i got to thank the grateful dead for bringing george jones & country music to brooklyn ny in 1970 ..
Facts
I didn’t know that. And I love them both! Thanks
Love the dead they do lot country covers .. they did working man blues at Woodstock and played on my Maria brooks and dun
So thank them then..no 😁 one cares..like your the manager of music bands or something!!! Lol
Totally for me,I thought all them tunes were Dead songs,especially race is on,mama tried, WOW,TY JERRY, TOTALLY AGREE
There will never be another George Jones!
Unbelievable story and life!
I love a lot of kinds of music, but I've never heard anyone who sings any better than George Jones. No one has ever delivered the emotional goods like he did.
Merle Haggard! :)
Merle was dynamite! But I stand with George as my #1! @@michaelyolch79
I totally agree love Jones and I couldn’t say it better agree 💯
We will hear him in the kingdom ❤
this.is.real.country music 🎶🎶🎶🎶 George Jones Great entertainer beautiful voice great personality 💕💕💕💕
No one compares. I was lucky enough to see him right before he sadly passed. He was "on time" & great! Such a sad loss.
I think this is the BEST of GEORGE JONES,I LOVE THE BACK UP BAND!
I’m pretty sure that today’s country music stations don’t play any George Jones songs today. It’s a crying shame. As Alan Jackson once sang, “Don’t rock the jukebox, i wanna hear George Jones, my heart’s not ready for The Rolling Stones.” Did anybody besides me notice the pedal steel guitar player wearing a T-shirt with Tammy Wynette’s picture in front?
George was the best forsure!
Their version of Ida Red is ON FIRE ! I just love George doing those impromptu high harmonies too
Bunch a boys had a few beers and a bunch of lines.. good Ole 80s
George Jones sets the bar for what country music is!
There is only one country king - George Jones. Everyone else is a pretender to the throne.
NOTE OF CLARIFICATION:
In NO way did I mean to dis Hank Sr. here. Of course, he was the major pioneer who blazed the male country trail. His songs mirrored his life of personal struggles; they were brilliant tracks and stand supreme to this day. And the world lost him far too young - a true tragedy.
Jones adored Hank. Yet he went on to blaze trails of his own, singing songs of HIS troubles, with heartbreaking honesty. And that is why we love him. He is our mirror. And he sings with that VOICE! The voice that G-d surely gave to one man alone.
And Sr.
Agree. I think he got better as he got older, his voice deepened and the lower register of his voice was more powerful.
Big facts… everyone can say Hank sr all they want… GJ’s number ones eclipse anyone else’s and so does that voice.
You do know George copied many voices and styles early in his career. His voice is not unique to himself.
Bro…stop.
I just love this! All great players but the bass player's whole vibe is amazing!
Greatest Country Singer Ever!
AMEN!!!
Only 1 George, & Only 1 Tammy 👍👍❤️❤️🎶🎶
The band gave him a perfect backing , great musicians , plus the great Johnny gimble
Yes sir I agree. This is the only known video with veteran of the TX live country music scene Rob Dixon playing electric for Jones. He was tasked with putting a completely new band together for George. He was only his band leader & guitar player for right at one year. It's strange for me to see him then because I never met Rob until 2019 when he retired from performing and I ended up taking over his band as the front man/guitarist and the remaining gigs still on the books. He is now the really great soundman at Southern Junction a TX dancehall and restaurant outside of Dallas in the Rockwall area. He finally came into possession of this still commercially unavailable Austin City Limits episode. This was filmed at a time when they knew very little of Jones' material which is the reason for Johnny Gimble singing several tunes.
Charisma personified.
I was 4. I probably started listening to old country in my early 20s at the same time as punk and metal. George gets played so often I hear my kids hummin his songs while they are playing. Timeless.
This entire show was amazing. His bartender blues is top 5 best for me
Yes. Written for him by James Taylor, who sang back-up vocals on the recording. Taylor also wrote an appreciation in Rolling Stone for its Best Singers edition.
The way he could stretch and twist his syllables was something else what a legend
Lord he's hammered.
And still the best.
Most people that are the best at their trade have some sort of vice they rely a little too heavy on..the stress of doing the best that they can when they’ve started from the bottom and worked up gets to them by the time (and after) they’ve achieved the success that they’ve been chasing.
George Jones was almost ALWAYS at least somewhat hammered on stage. But even by George Jones standards, his 1980 version of "hammered" (having added blow to the mix, in addition to already drinking alcohol at a volume and frequency that would kill most humans) was at or near the nadir of his 50+ year struggles with his addictions.
He's obviously not at 100% strength, vocally speaking, in this performance. Granted, George Jones at 65-70% vocal strength is still better than most stars at their best. I'm really glad he was able to get clean in the final years of his life. The fact that he even lived to see the year 1980, let alone that he went on to live more than three decades beyond that, is nothing short of miraculous. I hope that, in the sobriety of his twilight years, and with Nancy by his side, he was finally able to experience peace, and some portion of the joy that he gave to so many millions of others for so long.
You are clueless sir..
@@earlgallup5223 about what? His lifelong drinking problem? I'm not talking shit. He IS hammered in this video. He's also one of, if not the greatest country singer of all time. So what am I clueless about, sir?
This is the K. I. N G. It Country music and this is during the peak of his drinking and Cocaine days. He still outdone himself. RIP To Lil’Georgie Jones
The Possum George Jones truly a legend.
Such an amazing voice and his phrasing is impossible to mimic. There was only one George Jones…the type of singer we’ll never see or hear again.
Never again
14:35 If George Jones lets you sing one you must be legend.
Johnny Gimble is a legend.
Keep digging friend, you will find him.
The Best Ever in my book ! That voice , wow .
Not one impersonation artist can duplicate the president of country music ❤😮
Sammy Kershaw
George had a rough life mostly caused by himself.
Glad he got it all together before he passed. Never be another.
TRUE Country OUTLAW!!!!
"Mostly caused by himself." Yeah, he was the only touring musician ever to be at least temporarily by that lifesyle.
tierra dorada para honrra de Cristo Jesus es America!
Only Jones and Hank Sr could " year your heart out when they sing ". Incredible
Tear
Jim Carey should play him if they ever make a movie about him
I think Nick Offerman could do well as GJ in a biopic. Since nobody really looks like George, you have to evoke him. Offerman has tons of strained intensity, plus he sings.
I DO think that Michael Shannon was terrific as GJ in the "George and Tammy" multi-episode show originally on Hulu. Talk about restrainted intensity! And his singing was spot-on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_%26_Tammy
I see Jim Carey also.
Yes he would, would love to see a good true rendition movie about George
I can see Carey playing the old 'possum. He'd be great because his method acting is scary.
One of the greats in country legends, we need more music like his in country music today.
He's not one of the greatest, no one else is even close to being in his league, and those days are long gone
Amen...We seen him twice and bought tickets 4 times. HE H3LD up his end of "NO Show,Jones" 2 times.. Wonderful memories of him not showing up!!!!
My first concert was George in March of ‘81 with Tammy and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Then it sounds like you saw a show likely very much like this one. I am friends with the guitar player in this show who actually resigned at some point in 1981.
George Jones is the artist I saw live more than any other. If I hadn't seen Jones a few times between 1993 and 2010 or so then Conway would have been who I saw the most.
My first concert seeing Jones was around 1987 I THINK. All of the concerts I saw of him had Conway Twitty as the headliner but a few different opening acts: Ronnie McDowell, Vern Gosdin, & finally Vince Gill until 1993. Then it was always different artists with him.
The reason I saw him so much or any country artist for that matter from 1985 (10yrs old) until 1998 was because my Dad was an advertising man for Pepsi. He would buy tickets to all concerts that were the real deal and take store owners or managers as a business expense. As his son who loved country music, what he gave me by taking me with him was the biggest gift in the world.
@@waylonvids That’s awesome. I was 8 at the 1981 show. Don’t remember too much about it except Mom & Dad wanted to leave when Jerry Lee apparently came on stage inebriated lol. They were from that pre rock n roll, Hank Williams era so I grew up with what’s now called classic country always playing in the house. I had tix in 1995 to see George but he “ no-showed”.
@@123proffitt yeah your memory of how your parents acted about Jerry Lee is EXACTLY what I witnessed on my first Bocephus show except possibly worse. My MOM seems to still be mad about that night. Lol
@@waylonvids Ahh Moms an BOCEPHUS EH ! Some times they dont mix .
@@123proffitt i saw Jerry lee in Canada in 83 i reckon he was still Drinkin !
Im stiĺl cHASING THE JONES....but cant catçh up!!!!!😢😊
George fills AT HOME in TEXAS!!!
The man enjoyed "bending an elbow".
No true country like this anymore 😢
He felt it and lived it.
There's some out there but it's not on the radio unfortunately.
Check out Sturgill Simpson's album Cutting Grass Vol 1. Tyler Childers Purgatory is really good too. Both should be on TH-cam.
@@sicsempertyrannis77is yall nuts? Beyoncé just came out with a hit called, “dis ain’t texas”
Not on the radio, but good country music is alive and well. Just gotta find it.
Needs to be a Federal Holiday for his birthday!
He’s a white male so good luck with that now in this racist country. Happy White History Month
I jus remember my pops playing country All the time, love the old school country💙
I miss the days when they released these shows on DVD :(
Yeah me too too. For some reason they have neglected to release many of the shows I believe are the very best ones. This one is on that list.
Circle TV are showing reruns of all the classic country artist that were on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS.
@@kerrydavidsadler980 Yeah, for us international overseas folks, that doesn't help up very much. :(
@@kerrydavidsadler980 yeah I just read about that. They apparently just showed the Jones/Gosdin one from 1985 which is in my top ten. The Hank Jr from 1980 is another one. They skipped the first one by Yoakam and went to the 2nd one which has seen a DVD release the same as the Cash one being shown.

@@kerrydavidsadler980 wow, thank u for the tip. Broadcast tv is honestly the only place you can see this stuff if not youtube. Dvd and streaming won't pay for the music rights. Things are going to have to change so we can get shows like this on home video and streaming.
I just miss a damn blue light special every now and again.
how many artists are truly original? George Jones
This seems like it was done is a totally different time and place. RIP George Jones.
Johnny Gimble was such a legendary fiddler
God Bless George Jones, he is performing in that Heavenly home today.
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, no one will EVER come close to being better than the Possum
Hands down way better than hank
So many great ACL episodes...
... and we're left with No-Show Jones.
Johnny looks so sweet😊😊
Johnny Gimble's expression is so affectionate and kind. Not to mention his playing has that brilliant, yet gentle quality too. In fact all the interplay between the guitarist, pedal steel guy and Johnny Gimble is quite impressive. This is an amazing amazing line up....everyone is 100% on their A game
Professional business there,ladies and gentlemen
Best part is when old-school fiddle-player Gimble takes over for a bit and does "Ida Red." George comes alive then, as one musician to another. There's a big difference when it's front-man and back-up sycophants and when two real performers are playing together.
2 legends side by side .at this time 1980 , Gimble was touring with Willie 79----81 on the Honeysuckle rose movie /album . tour . thats some pretty genuine country , Jones n Nelson . Man ,if this version of Stop Loving Her Today aint Country then ive never seen any !!! thank you for posting mr Waylon vids .
Stopped Loving her today, anyone see the Capo change? Brilliant.R,I.P. George.
This is a Treasure
George Jones is the man! What a voice-
This was early 80’s Om a much lower scale I was drunk and high but I never found the old man or the Duck
RIP George, we made it through the 80’s
He was the greatest
Absolutely
Over the course of forty years we have lost a hell of a lot of talent: George Jones, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings, Roy Clarke... Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson are nearly there, too. I thank God my brother, Jerry, got me started listening to this music before it became so commercialized. Nothing compares to it, today. The current artists have never suffered like these guys did, so their new music is as hollow as a dead log. I've still got the old guys on CD.
I love George Jones like he was family. I feel like George and Merle helped raise me.
Both of 'em found Jesus late in life and got saved. Very glad of that.
G.O.A.T.
This is the most beautiful song ever
I was at a Leonard Cohen concert the day George Jones died, he sang one of his songs as a tribute, I didn't expect that.
I was high on meth in Clinton iowa. I had just dropped off from hitchhiking from savanna Illinois out of this big biker bar they've got there. I met this dude who was a meth cook and I went with him back to his his place to "get high"...turns out he was a queer. He was respectful though and ingot.put of their wihlthout a murder charge or any PTSD. dropped me at the walmart and as.inwasnwalkong through.the place I seen all the memorial magazines on the shelves by the register...brother, I sat down and cried. And read every one. And the ladies in the store come up to tell me I had to move along, or I wasn't allowed to read without buying...when they seen what.inwas reading and the state I was in, they just said sorry.and went about their business.
@@rossmerrill1163 hell of a story
@@rossmerrill1163dope can intensify the downs as well as the ups making for an experience that can’t be forgotten.👍🏽✌️☮️
@@rossmerrill1163 They were probably all Jones fans. They understood your emotion.
The Possum had himself a damn good band!
I totally agree. They're all topshelf talents.
George Jones is and will always be The King of Country Music❤️🎶💯
Best damn version of White Lightning I ever heard him do !
I love it too!
Today is ten years since we lost the possum and I was blessed to have the chance to see him with Loretta and I am so glad I I had that chance in In Beaumont Texas God how I wish we could go to see them again
So happy I got to see him once in my life before he passed.
George jones is the greatest country singer
Merle is the greatest artist
Garth is the greatest performer
George Straight is the cowboy Sinatra
