3 of the Best Vince Gill Performances
1. “One More Last Chance” with Luke Combs at CMA Fest
“One More Last Chance” is always a crowd pleaser, but add Luke Combs into the mix and it’s unstoppable. Gill teamed up with Combs at the 2023 CMA Fest to perform this jaunty hit. Both artists made quick work of the tongue-in-cheek song, exciting the thousands of fans packing Nashville’s Nissan Stadium.
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we’re through
I know I drive you crazy baby
It’s the best that I can do
2. “Go Rest High on That Mountain” with Patty Loveless at George Jones’ Funeral
“Go Rest High on That Mountain” is one of country music’s most poignant songs. What better song than this one to honor a country legend like George Jones? Gill joined forces with Patty Loveless to sing the timeless ballad at Jones’ public funeral. It was as heartbreaking as ever.
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin’
Love for the Father and the Son
3. “Every Breath You Take” with Sting at CMT Crossroads
CMT Crossroads is a stellar opportunity to see artists combine their strengths. Gill got the opportunity to hop behind the mic alongside Sting for “Every Breath You Take” on his episode of the program. “Every Breath You Take” is a classic for a reason. Gill and Sting proved why it’s so universal with their collaborative performance.
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
