George Jones - No Show Jones. video free download

On Independence Day, 1976, he appeared at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic in Gonzales, Texas in front of 80,000 younger, country rock oriented fans. A nervous Jones felt out of his comfort zone and nearly bolted from the festival but went on anyway and wound up stealing the show

apparently the back story is george got busted for drugs while driving down south. i forget which state. anyways governor pardoned him if he would do 2 charity-like concerts. he didnt show up for either one. lol legend

What a great story- -and if it's true, then it's even better!:-)

How the hell can a man get away with a song celebrating his failure to show up for a gig yet STILL get the hard-working and reliable folks cheering him like crazy? talent, i guess?

My Dad as a new lawyer in the early 80's before I was born, had Merle Haggard as his 2nd or 3rd client. In a top floor conference room sits Merle, My Dad, and the Opposing Lawyer. The Opposing lawyer says "Isn't it true your best friend a one George Jones, goes by the name 'No Show Jones".".Merle takes his boots off the table and says "thems fighting words" and spits on the floor. At which point the other lawyer says to my Dad "Do you have any control over your client?" My Dad "no, no I do not."

" hey possum, say hello to Orlando Florida" wish Ron Gaddis would say that one more time! Or your hometown!

Randy Smith

Good song but in my opinion,it is an insult to Tammy, it was better when he did it with Merle Haggard when he said Tammy was the first lady of a country song

canary_islands_dweller

was he ever recorded drunk on stage where you could actually tell he was drunk? Thanks ahead of time.

In the mid-60s, I experienced one of George Jones' no-shows. I was backstage at the music hall in Bainbridge, Ohio, where George was to perform to a sold-out house. The opening act sang song after song, and after each song, he would come backstage and ask, "Is he here yet?" Every time, the stage manager sent him back to do another song to kill time. Finally, the singer came back and said, "Is the son-of-a-bitch here yet?" They gave a refund to the unruly crowd. I'll never forget that night!
