@@bokarlsson1027 Hey Bo, George along with Merle Haggard were the 2 best. The Cd 16 Biggest Hits has all the best. Also check out Doug Stone, His Hit I'd be better off in a pine box is my favorite song of all. When Country was really Country. Also Love 2 of my favorite Hockey Players William Karlsson & Erik and of course THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME - NICKLAS LIDSTROM ALONG WITH BORGE SALMING & THE GREATEST SWEDISH GOALIE OF ALL TIME HENRIK LUNDQVIST. HOW SWEDE IT IS. 🏒⛂🚨 .
And umm....Willy. Ya know...the guy who created Farm Aid. And of course Hank Sr. But let's not turn it into a big sausage fest either. Women made real country music too. Patsy, Loretta, Tammy, Dolly, and last but not least Taylor Swift.
R.I.P Mr. Possum...! you will be greatly missed by many around the world..! much love and prayers to your family and friends..! love your music touched hearts over and over for many years... love you from the French family in Prince George B.C
Ol George ain’t worried much about singin into the mic. Motions to the sound guy about a hearing problem. LoL. Love me some George. Killer bass player layin it DOWN. Great band. Rightfully so. George was King. In my book.
Always been one of my favorite country songs. What a unique rendition! I love that you can find five different live recordings by George Jones and each one is totally unique! 14th place! LOL
One of the first country songs i ever heard from that day on I was a Jones fan. Country music has lost a true legend and one of the best voices in country music history RIP George
"The Race Is On" is a song written by Don Rollins and made a hit on the country music charts b yGeorge Jones and on the pop and easy listening charts by the unrelated Jack Jones. George's version was the first single released from his 1965 album of the same name. Released as a single in September 1964, it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1965 and it was his only Top-40 hit. Jack's version topped Billboard's Easy Listening chart and reached number 15 on the Hot 100 the same year. The song uses thoroughbred horse racing as the metaphor for the singer's romantic relationships.
Where did he get his opening pitch from? I mean, ...the bass player is kinda goofing around, George is talking to the audience and then, he just starts singing right in the exact key of the arrangement. Did George have perfect pitch?
R.i.p. Mr.Jones. Does anyone know who was the Jone's Boys at this time, i know thats Ron Gaddis on Bass, and Tom on steel. But dont know the rest of them

Nobody will ever come close to the greatness and energy of Possum
I don't mean to be disrespectful but that energy comes from a certain powder
@@Briandillman-k5f look at his older performances when he was young and not on drugs, same energy
Sweet weeping Jesus! Who says country guys can't rock? Simply wow...the man' voice is like its own beast
How deep he can go on call. Way off his normal timbre. The best .
Jones & Haggard the 2 everyone looks up to
never heard him before...I shall change that👍🇸🇪

And could out drink all of us ,but damn what a voice
One of my favorite songs. The Race Is On. George Jones - one of a kind. Old school country still rocks!
YOU DAMN RIGHT!! Old country!!
wow! when George was sober and happy he was unstoppable! Rock stars could take lessons from George here, man is he good!
he used that voice like a fine instrument. He turned me on to GOOD country music.
Love George Jones.... that was the real country music. Guys like him and Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash.
Well put! But don't forget Waylon!
Yep, Waylon is definitely one of the greats, too.
Don't forget Waylon

Like many kids growing up here in the south, I remember listening to George Jones. Rest in peace sir, there will never be another one like the Possum!
WHAT A PERFORMANCE! And what a performer... thanks George!
That man could flat out rock!!!
the grateful dead brought me here. love the original and the dead's cover
George Jones awesome greatest ever nobody can replace him real country music 🎶🎵 at its best
R.I.P Mr. Possum...! you will be greatly missed by many around the world..! much love and prayers to your family and friends..! love your music touched hearts over and over for many years... love you from the French family in Prince George B.C
The possum lol 😂 he could really bring it . I’m watching the show on showtime about him and Tammy. It awesome!!!
2020 still listening.

George will always be the best.
The band's outfits are classic!
one of my all time favs of the late great Mr George Jones
I LOVE GEORGE JONES .SINGING THE RACE IS ON. AWESOME SONG. FROM. 1964.
My next band is going to be called "Mustaches and Jumpsuits" and we will be wearing neither.
Damn good music back then, i think the blue jumpsuits are badass. I sport a mustache and i have had it my whole life!
They upped the tempo and rocked it!
He sounds as good live as in studio
His voice was the absolute greatest in the 80’s. It has the perfect combination of twang and grit.
Rest in peace Possum. You were truly one of a kind.....no one will ever fill your shoes. God bless you.
a rockin' version ...awesome
George "The Possum" Jones was the first to record this in 1965. He could rock pretty good back then. White Lightnin' and Who Shot Sam proved that.
I wouldve give any thing to be at a show like this!
Possum’s band is smoking hot! Bravo!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And that folks is how you show the "young uns" how to rock, regardless of genre.
zwyk mn
Love this rendition!
Great tune... I always loved the Dead's version of this too
R.I.P. George ("Possum" "No Show") Jones.

cc : George Jones and Johnny Paycheck!!
Where did he get his opening pitch from? I mean, ...the bass player is kinda goofing around, George is talking to the audience and then, he just starts singing right in the exact key of the arrangement. Did George have perfect pitch?
He's a pro. Been doing it his whole life!
All Peavey, all the time...
RIP
Man he was looking sick but he jammed
R.i.p. Mr.Jones. Does anyone know who was the Jone's Boys at this time, i know thats Ron Gaddis on Bass, and Tom on steel. But dont know the rest of them
1:00 thanks for the lick mustachioed guitar dude.
😊
A couple of nice boys in the band, nice moustaches
Wow, George looks sober!
They must still be having audio problems because George is still pointing at his ear because he can't hear himself??!!
Band looks like they're about to hop on Apollo 15 after the show.
They were actually already there. They were nice enough to stop by on the way back.
Indian ranch Webster Mass !!!!!!!?!
Who's the lead guitarist and the steel player. They look like twins.
Cousin eddie on drums
Name please?
Can anyone name this line-up of the Jones boys....I know that Ron Gaddis is the bass player...can anyone name the rest of the guys ?
I would like to know the name of the rhythm
