Won’t want to miss it.
On Saturday, June 27th, the country music world came together at Nissan Stadium in Nashville to honor Alan Jackson with his star-studded Last Call: One More For the Road – The Finale concert. The concert immediately became one of the hottest tickets of the year — the stadium was packed, the streets were packed and a big video board was placed on Broadway for a public showing. Just about everybody in business showed up to send off one of the best to ever play the game.
Along with Jackson, the show featured an all-star lineup of Eric Church, George Strait, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson and Lee Ann Womack.
The star-studded cast set the stage and delivered a plethora of deep cuts and minor hits, with Church performing “Someday,” Johnson performing “Job Description,” Combs covering “Hard Hat and a Hammer, Wilson covering “Tall, Tall Trees,” Green delivering a rendition of “Little Man” and the entire ensemble coming together for a performance of “Pop a Top.”
Of course, the living legend wrapped up his career by performing a plethora of career-defining tracks such as “Chattahoochee,” “Drive (For Daddy Gene),” “Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning),” “Remember When” and an additional 21 other hits throughout his illustrious career — including “Murder on Music Row” and “Designated Drinker” with the King himself, George Strait.
Simply put, there could not have been a better, more fitting send-off for one of the most influential artists in the genre, who has 19 ACM Awards, 17 CMA Awards, two Grammys, 50 Top 10 hits and 35 #1 hits. And it was just immortalized in music history back in August when it became the highest-grossing concert in HISTORY, netting a staggering $34.729 million.
In case you weren’t able to make the show in Nashville, NBC is airing a condensed, 2-hour version of the special.
Announced this morning, NBC will be broadcasting Jackson’s final show on Tuesday, December 8th at 8:00 p.m. ET, which will also be available to stream the next day on Peacock. As of now, it’s confirmed that the broadcast will feature Jackson’s performances of “Chattahoochee,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Remember When,” “Gone Country” and “Livin’ on Love,” as well as the two aforementioned Strait collaborations.
Additionally, some of the performances from earlier in the night by the star-studded cast of guests will air during the broadcast as well. While it’s not confirmed if any individual performances will be featured instead of opting for the huge ensemble singalong of “Pop a Top,” the likes of Church, Combs, Green, Johnson, Lambert, Wilson, Underwood and more are confirmed to make appearances during the special presentation of the concert.
The special NBC broadcast will air just days after the official live album from the show, Last Call: One More For The Road, is released on streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify on Friday, December 4th.
