80,000+ People Experience Alan Jackson’s Final Show

On Saturday, June 27, Alan Jackson had his last show ever. Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale – presented by Edward Jones and Silverbelly Whiskey – celebrated the many miles he’s traveled and the many lives he’s touched with his music and songwriting.

Held at Nissan Stadium, Alan performed a two-hour set spanning the career that’s earned him multiple lifetime achievement awards and a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Opener “Gone Country” led the way, followed by two dozen more songs ranging from his first hit, “Here in the Real World,” to his most recent “The Older I Get.”

The crowd erupted as one troubadour was joined by another when George Strait joined Jackson onstage for the duets they recorded over the years. The two grabbed a drink, raised their glasses in a toast, took a sip, then performed “Designated Drinker” and “Murder on Music Row.”

Jackson’s performance was also experienced live by thousands more people than those gathered at the stadium, such as on screens staged in the center of Broadway. Som even listened and sang along over the Cumberland River from the pedestrian bridge connecting the stadium to downtown. More than 80,000 people from 32 countries enjoyed the show.

“This has just been incredible,” Jackson told the crowd. “I don’t even have words – it’s just been completely overwhelming.”

This was Jackson’s last concert, but host Kelly Sutton and Alan himself reminded the audience that he still plans on continuing to write and record music. Alan’s set was recorded and a live album, Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale (Live from Nashville), will be released and is available for pre-order here.
