From a sold-out arena to movie theaters and now to your living room.

“Still Playin’ Possum: Music & Memories of George Jones,” featuring highlights from a star-studded tribute concert to the dearly departed country singer, will get its TV premier 8:30 p.m. February 23 on PBS.

The concert was filmed last April at Huntsville’s Von Braun Center Propst Arena. The original three-hour concert featured dozens of country stars performing Jones hits.

That night in Huntsville, Brad Paisley sang “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” Wynonna Judd and Jamey Johnson crushed “Golden Ring.” Jelly Roll sauntered through “Bartender Blues.” Sara Evans gender flipped “She Thinks I Still Care.” Other performances featured the likes of Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, Aaron Lewis, Janie Fricke, Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Sam Moore, Lorrie Morgan and Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr.

Jones died around 10 years before the Huntsville tribute concert, in 2013 at age 81. The singer was born in Texas and died in Nashville, but his career and life included several ties to North Alabama.

At the time of Jones’ passing, he was scheduled to play the Von Braun Center on his ‘13 farewell tour. He’d performed at the VBC often during his Country Hall of Fame career.

During the late 1970s, Jones lived in the Muscle Shoals neighborhood Jackson Heights. He cut tracks at many of the recording studios in the Shoals area, including FAME, Music Mill, East Avalon, Broadway Sound and Widget. Nashville producer Billy Sherrill — producer of some of Jones’ biggest hits including “He Stopped Loving Her Today” — got his start as one of FAME’s co-founders.

In addition to honoring the singer and his songs, the sold-out tribute concert held an auction of guitars autographed by that night’s stars. The auction raised $80,000 for the families of two Huntsville police officers recently killed and critically wounded in the line of duty.

In October, highlights “Still Playin’ Possum” concert received a special one-night only release in movies. In recent years, Von Braun Center has also hosted tribute concerts for country singers Randy Travis and Lee Greenwood.

This year, the VBC’s calendar is stocked with stars ranging from heavy-metal lords Judas Priest to headline-making comedian Pete Davidson.
