Inside country legend Alan Jackson's triumphant finale concert

Country music legend Alan Jackson brought his touring career to a close with a final concert at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday night. The event, titled “Last Call: One More for the Road -- The Finale,” marked a farewell to his signature Stetson and was presented as a celebration of Jackson’s life and work, aided by artists he inspired. The show took place in two movements, with the first two hours featuring a run of cover songs performed by prominent contemporary country stars. Carrie Underwood sang “Everything I Love” and said Jackson was her first concert in 1994 at the Tulsa State Fair, while Thomas Rhett performed “Small Town Southern Man.” Other guests included Miranda Lambert (“Dallas”), Lainey Wilson (“Tall, Tall Trees”), and Luke Combs (“Hard Hat and a Hammer”), alongside a group of additional performers and members of Jackson’s family. Jackson, 67, has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition affecting balance. The performance began after a storm delay of about an hour and he returned to the stage at 9:35 p.m. to open with “Gone Country.”
