- George Jones performs "The Race Is On" live at the Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Nobody will ever come close to the greatness and energy of Possum
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!!
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👍🇸🇪
@@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 could out drink all of us ,but damn what a voice
wow! when George was sober and happy he was unstoppable! Rock stars could take lessons from George here, man is he good!
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
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.
WHAT A PERFORMANCE! And what a performer... thanks George!
he used that voice like a fine instrument. He turned me on to GOOD country music.
the grateful dead brought me here. love the original and the dead's cover
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!
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.
That's some good ol boys right yhere they don't write 'em like that mo more, that's some bootscooting gold.
They upped the tempo and rocked it!
And that folks is how you show the "young uns" how to rock, regardless of genre.

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.

AWESOME SONG BY GEORGE JONES.
"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.
He was one of the best and it’s exciting to see his passion through his singing and dancing won’t be another like the possum
Dang - it's hard to believe this was 30 years ago.
great sounds
R.I.P George
Love him!
Good music
Unbelievable..heck the F yeah! Awesomeness!!
Love this song
The Master!

King of country
RIP sir.
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
only George could get a DWI on his riding lawnmower going to the liquor store! that's funny as hell I don't care who you are!
*dui
That is hairlous!
I agreed
JonasOttaTV it’s also called a dwi. “Driving while intoxicated”
24 seconds in George wants the sound adjusted! In 85 he was still going...no rocking chair yet!
I LOVE GEORGE JONES. SINGING. RIP TO GEORGE JONES
George kicks ass!!!

RIP!
That electric solo is harrddddd

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!

I love this song used to make me cry until I heard the Sawyer Brown version 😂😂😂

Tal vez, rompio los cueros de los tambores...
Yo that snare sounds good af tho
God's country
Man he was looking sick but he jammed
All Peavey, all the time...
Love George Jones and something about him in this performance resembles Tommy Lee Jones.
RIP
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!
This band is so tight - who is on guitar? Fiddle??
They must still be having audio problems because George is still pointing at his ear because he can't hear himself??!!
😊
Wow, George looks sober!
A couple of nice boys in the band, nice moustaches
Indian ranch Webster Mass !!!!!!!?!
1:00 thanks for the lick mustachioed guitar dude.
Who's the lead guitarist and the steel player. They look like twins.
Big time Star he. St Lucia people don't want this. Why Dj in St Lucia don't play he music on Hot FM and day call he number want.........because day don't know country
