This video recorded in Knoxville, TN, on 1993, shows George Jones in big shape, great sense of humour and a entusiastic audience sheering classics like "He stoped loving her today" or "The race is on". The sound and image doesn't have the quality of recent DVD's but who cares when you can have the great George Jones singing for you at home? Long Life to Possum! There's a british version of this DVD that includes a documentary about his life and...troubles.

I just got a dvd player and this was the 1st dvd played. This guy is AWESOME !!! I'm just sorry it wasn't a little longer. There is nothing bad AT ALL on this dvd. If you like George Jones, you will NOT be disappointed with this dvd. It's a newer concert, and he is better than ever !!!!!

This is it folks, a must have for a C&W fan. The Possum sings all of his big hits on this one with his voice as smoothe and crisp as ever. The sound quality is excellent except for the over dubbing of crowd applause that is more than occaisionally annoying. The only other flaw is the poor quality stage lighting makes a complete mess of the color production. The Possums Jones boys led by the ever faithfull to GJ, Ron Gaddis is tighter than ever on this one. I notice Mel Tillis' lead guitarist helping out here and a fiddle player from N.C. that is without question the finest that I have ever seen. Combined with the finest players in the land and the finest C&W ballad singer in the land, this is Country at its best. I will share many enjoyable hours with my friends enjoying this one.

For those of you who haven't been to one of George's concerts yet, here is an excellent sample of what's in store. The only objectional point in this video is the intrusion of the "guest artists" at the end. If it were up to me, it would be strictly George and the Jones Boys featured on this video. Still, it's great, no matter what!

I enjoyed watching the concert but the loud audience in the background detracted from the overall concert. I have several recorded concerts but this is the only one where the loud audience became annoying. The person in charge of the sound could have done a better job.

George Jones on this live dvd has a lot of fire in his preformance,he shows how good a live show can be, the video quality is not that great but the audio quality is much better. Buy this dvd you want be disapointed.

sure is not playing Possum in this concert. He features some of his best. We enjoyed the performance if you are a George
Jones fan I am sure you will as well.

I really enjoyed hearing him sing. The coloring was not as clear as I had hoped.

This is absolutely "classic" George Jones. This is a great DVD. He is at his best!

East Texas has always been a great place for spawning the best country singers of all time. It was the birthplace of Aubrey 'Moon' Mullican, Lefty Frizzell, Jim Reeves and many many others. George Jones is another of its many products and this man - along with Jerry Lee Lewis - gets my vote for being the greatest living country singer. Jones is the real thing and has a style that is totally original. His blues based phrasing and country and gospel emotions make him the greatest pure country singer of this era. Many modern day country singers have tried to emulate Jones but nobody can even hope to come close to Jones who is the real deal to use one of his song titles. Influenced by Bill Monroe, Moon Mullican, Floyd Tillman, Hank Williams and other honky tonk, western swing and bluegrass singers, Jones fused Texan swing with Mountain soul for all eternity.
