You're right. The music is once again controlled by executives, not by the artists. Waylon was responsible for improving the quality and realness of the music. I don't listen to country anymore because they've shifted away from what he did.
Ernest Tubb said, “If your mama heard you playing guitar on the radio, would she know it was you?” It only takes about 5 notes, and you know it’s Waylon. Probably less if your ears are in practice 😂.
This show was recorded just after I first met Waylon & Jessi (Dec. 1979). Brings back a lot of good memories. I also had the pleasure of meeting James Garner at one of Waylon's shows soon after this one.
The year I was born. What an amazing performance by the king of country, and James Garner in the audience, the world is just not as cool as it was back then.
Mr. Lucky's was THE place to go for many years. My parents used to go there almost every Saturday night. They saw Waylon a few times and he always rocked the place
I had the good fortune and the privilege to see Waylon almost every Friday night at FRIDAYS, a Club in the Riverbottom, between Scottsdale and Tempe in the early 60's. 😊
Incredible when I drive by the old Mr Luckys on Grand Ave here in Phoenix and think he played there one day. Its closed now and only memories of fun weekends. Just like Waylon...
I saw Waylon at Mr. Lucky's in about 1969, Years later got to know him and some of his band in Jackson WY, when they played there at a friend's bar. A hell of a singer for sure.
Good Hearted Woman.. My whole youth my dad was always in a C&W band or just in jam sessions at someone's house or even our house. This was the song he would sing to my Mom every time. Grew up just down the road from Mr. Lucky's too. Great memories.
I saw Waylon in Chandler Az., he was driving a black American car of some kind, not a caddy or a Lincoln , any way I had a Chevy pickup no air so I had the windows down and Waylon up; I made eye contact with the guy in the car at a four way stop and he gave me a thumbs up, which I returned with a mystified look, then he pointed at his face with both hands, at which I gave him two thumbs up and a big grin. Then he touches the brim of his hat as he crossed the intersection, it was hot that day but boy was that cool!
Heh heh ..awesome! I remember this show from when I was a teenager, and had just discovered Waylon, who soon became my idol. I no longer listen to country music, but I still love and miss him!
I lived at 35 ave and Camelback back in the day and grew up in north Phoenix just off Bell rd Unless you lived in the 80`s you will never understand why we look at my kids staring at their phones and shake our heads. life is so Heavy now like its almost a burden. back then life seemed lighter, fun ohh well anyways Thank you so much for uploading this WOW
Country up stairs,Rock and roll down. If you loved it in the day, don't drive by today. Closed and abandoned...Time marches on,unfortunately...Miss you Waylon.
The staff at Mr Luckys were fucking pricks! Nobody wanted to put up with their shit! A lot of us would go to Buddy's rock & roll place just down the road.
Waylon 5 min to lights 30 seconds later not lopsided (ifyaknowyaknow) walks up 8 riser steps gives a twist off his hat an ease into that blast of adrenaline. Lord I ms ya hoss it was truly a long time ago.
Saw him in many places. I especially remember a gig at Max's Kansas City in NYC. Small room...like a private show it was. Thought I'd lose my mind!...Waylon, Ralph Mooney and Richie Albright...never forget it!
Watching this footage from 1980 makes me wish I could travel back in time so I could stop for a visit to Mr. Lucky, watch Waylon Jennings live in concert, shake hands with James Garner, tip my hat to Jessi Colter, and let a few people know that 2023 is going to suck so enjoy 1980.
Use to live at this joint and danced till it closed in the seventies, sad it is closed because I would certainly give it another go, waylon your are missed as well.
.I got lucky and was able to raise hell at both Lucky's and JD's in my misguided youth.Today's generation does not have these kinda places,and that is why today's so called country/Western sucks big time,
Always one of my favorite singers ever since my Dad explained who was singing the song to my favorite TV show at that time, the Dukes of Hazard. Well he scheduled a Prineville, Or concert in 1990 and I must have been the first to buy tickets. But 2 days before he was scheduled to come to town he canceled due to problems with his diabetes. I was heart broken. But he came back in 1991 and sang his heart out!! I will never forget that concert and I will never grow tired of listening to Waylon!!
No backing dancers,no costume changes JUST DAMNED GREAT MUSIC!! WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOOD WE HAD IT THEN!! WHAT WAS THE LAST ALBUM /CD YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT BROUGHT HOME AND EAT DOWN AND LISTENED TO??? GUNS AND ROSES APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.
LUCKY S MUST HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME PLACE TO GO SEE ENTERTAINERS AND HAVE A GREAT OLD TIME HE REALLY PACKED THE HOUSE!! PEOPLE WERE EVERY WARE. EVEN SITTING ON THE FLOOR!!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS STILL HONKING THOSE TABLES GRANDPAWWW LOL AWESOME
I saw Waylon 5 times in the 70s and the 80s in so. Florida and they were sold out everytime... What great performances... Thank you for posting on the tube!!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this , blew my mind , I love the country western fashion everyone is wearing ... unreal , I do remember those times indeed .
I have been to Waylon’s grave site. Waylon is buried in Jessi’s family plot, close to Jessi’s mom and dad. There is an empty space beside Waylon for Jessi when she passes. Waylon’s gravestone is flat, and looks like it is made of black granite. An image of Waylon is etched on the stone. Engraved on the stone is a verse from “Belle Of The Ball”: “A Vagabond Dreamer, A Writer And Singer Of Songs”. Waylon always said that “Belle Of The Ball” was the favorite of all the songs that he wrote. Also inscribed are the words “I Am My Beloved’s, My Beloved Is Mine”. On the right side of the stone are the words “A Wonderful Son, Brother, Husband, Father and Grandfather”. Waylon’s gravestone is certainly in sharp contrast to the grossly elaborate gravestones of people like George Jones, and Johnny and June Carter Cash. It is a simple but beautiful gravesite that is appropriate for a down to earth and humble man like Waylon Jennings was.
I remember back in those days everyone wore cowboy hats. I enjoyed watching the bull riding in the back of Mr. Lucky's. Lot's of hangovers from that place!👍😁
Yes, for a TV special. James Garner as a guest. This is about the time my son played cards with James Garner on Waylon's bus for about an hour at another show. He was 10 yrs. old and didn't have a clue who he was. Just Waylon's friend to him.
Damn I'd give anything to be at this show or these old Honky Tonk's in 1980. Also the Motorhead tour of 1980. Does anyone know what hat Waylon is wearing hear? It's not the Lash Stetson that you see at hat shops because it's shaped like a western fedora with straight brim and pinch front crown. And is that Thor's hammer on the front? It looks very similar to the hat Lemmy is wearing on the Motorhead Ace of Spades album cover.
I heard a funny story bout Waylon, he tries cocaine and says to the guy who got it for him " How much a pound of this stuff cost?" Oh Waylon you don't want a pound of this.. " Yeah, I do!"
From the depht of the internet. I cannot remember accurately any more lolz. All I know I had seen it before and was shocked it was not in youtube yet. Damn that Hoss had style!
Please lord ... I wanna wake up teletransported back there in that time , with all that amazing country and western fashion and music , cool cars and pickup trucks and everything simpler ... and I promise lord I won’t look forward to the future of 2000’s .... I tell everyone enjoy right now !
back when country was real and people shut the hell up when the performer was talking!!
You're right. The music is once again controlled by executives, not by the artists. Waylon was responsible for improving the quality and realness of the music. I don't listen to country anymore because they've shifted away from what he did.
Amen brother. The 70s, 80s and some 90s was it.
You can still listen to country. That is why it was recorded!
UMG is owned by the whiff. Your government is too hunny.
Yep, and we need to keep all the good old stuff in circulation.
Old school country only
Sure do miss him! I listen to your music all the time, Waylon! Gone but sure as hell not forgotten!!!
Hard to believe he's only 43 here, so young. What a fucking legend.
If it wasn't for drugs,maybe he was still alive
43,,,0ne Year OLDER THEN ELVIS WHO DIED AUGUST 16th,1977 at the age of 42..
Outstanding.
This is the real Country Music. Never be another Waylon.
Struggle Jennings (his grandson) doing well...and holding the name sound.
@@IAmYakYakTV the law needs to get her for this shit
We know this. This is why we come here. Your noise is not appreciated.
But upcoming Whey does the family proud! And gives me goosebumps! So don't be so sure of yourself.
I agree he was one of a kind gone but never forgotten
Waylon is a dangerous guitar player. Seriously good.
Waylon could make his guitar talk that's for sure
Ernest Tubb said, “If your mama heard you playing guitar on the radio, would she know it was you?” It only takes about 5 notes, and you know it’s Waylon. Probably less if your ears are in practice 😂.
This show was recorded just after I first met Waylon & Jessi (Dec. 1979). Brings back a lot of good memories. I also had the pleasure of meeting James Garner at one of Waylon's shows soon after this one.
Wow Would you just listen to that crowd, I would have loved to have been there to see it! Great stuff!
Just drove and stopped by Mr Lucky’s recently. Just tried to capture that old vibe. Greatest talent there ever was.
The year I was born. What an amazing performance by the king of country, and James Garner in the audience, the world is just not as cool as it was back then.
I love the way he always called Jessi..."my better half." They were so good together.
Mr. Lucky's was THE place to go for many years. My parents used to go there almost every Saturday night. They saw Waylon a few times and he always rocked the place
I wish I had a time machine to go back to those times because now days suck
I had the good fortune and the privilege to see Waylon almost every Friday night at FRIDAYS, a Club in the Riverbottom, between Scottsdale and Tempe in the early 60's. 😊
Man did I have some good times at Mr. Luckys. A few fights and lots a drinking. Golden memories of the good ol days!!!
Country music for Real.
Waylon the man.🤠
Incredible when I drive by the old Mr Luckys on Grand Ave here in Phoenix and think he played there one day. Its closed now and only memories of fun weekends. Just like Waylon...
I'll go by and see. If it is I'll take a pic of the old sign and building.
He played there lot's of times that was Waylon's stomping ground in Phoenix back in the 60's before he got famous
@@tommyp3827 Been waiting. Did you get that pic, or what?
@@seanstipsky9473 sorry, i didn't see your message. No, i didn't get a pic. Where did you send it? Thx
At his best.... True outlaw country.... Gone but not forgotten
I saw Waylon at Mr. Lucky's in about 1969, Years later got to know him and some of his band in Jackson WY, when they played there at a friend's bar. A hell of a singer for sure.
Waylon, the king of outlaw. Lucky's the king of clubs. Rest in peace old friends.
is mr lucky's still there in phx?
@@rodneysmith537 Unfortunately Lucky's closed in 2004. The building and the sign are still there though.
I scandalized my brother
14/10/03
A great singer
A great guitarist
A great comedian
Well he's the best musician but as a comedian absolute shit
Not a comedians ass he's just the best at kicking kool
There will never be a another one like him.
Man ..If I only had a nickel for every time I played that room! Long live J David Sloan and the Rouges and Bill Hallock. Waylon Rocked it.
My uncle played there a lot as well his name was Kenny Mcclelland
I feel as if I'm all alone in this world
The smoke filled hall has a tele stain I wished I could copy
This beautiful man was just the greatest!!! Love him........ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Talk about owning a room.
I wish I coulda seen him. I reckon I'll have to wait til I'm in heaven with the most wanted outlaws in the land.
Good Hearted Woman.. My whole youth my dad was always in a C&W band or just in jam sessions at someone's house or even our house. This was the song he would sing to my Mom every time. Grew up just down the road from Mr. Lucky's too. Great memories.
waylon was ELVIS of country music
Waylon > Elvis
Everybody please note the presence of Maverick himself, James Garner at 3:23; I guess outlaws run together.
god damn this dude was cooler than snow tubing in Antarctica!
Setlist:
-
1. I Ain’t Living Long Like This - 2:07
2. Good Hearted Woman - 5:47
3. This Time - 8:43
I saw Waylon in Chandler Az., he was driving a black American car of some kind, not a caddy or a Lincoln , any way I had a Chevy pickup no air so I had the windows down and Waylon up; I made eye contact with the guy in the car at a four way stop and he gave me a thumbs up, which I returned with a mystified look, then he pointed at his face with both hands, at which I gave him two thumbs up and a big grin. Then he touches the brim of his hat as he crossed the intersection, it was hot that day but boy was that cool!
Luck...right place....right time.
He used to live in Coolidge!
Heh heh ..awesome! I remember this show from when I was a teenager, and had just discovered Waylon, who soon became my idol. I no longer listen to country music, but I still love and miss him!
Busters mom
May I introduce you to Sturgill Simpson
They just aren't made like that anymore.. Love Waylon💙
no they sure don't.in the 70's my border collie's name was waylon.my dads dog was willie.mix.small.wire hair,all i can do is smile ,
Carol Diane You sure got that right, Carol!!
waylon is in true outlaw form, fabulous I love this
He's grandson Whey Jennings is doing a real good job of keeping him alive 🤠
I lived at 35 ave and Camelback back in the day and grew up in north Phoenix just off Bell rd Unless you lived in the 80`s you will never understand why we look at my kids staring at their phones and shake our heads. life is so Heavy now like its almost a burden. back then life seemed lighter, fun ohh well anyways Thank you so much for uploading this WOW

WAYLON 🎸🇨🇱 JENNINGS

Country up stairs,Rock and roll down. If you loved it in the day, don't drive by today. Closed and abandoned...Time marches on,unfortunately...Miss you Waylon.
The staff at Mr Luckys were fucking pricks! Nobody wanted to put up with their
shit! A lot of us would go to
Buddy's rock & roll place just
down the road.
Waylon Jennings was the best at countrymusikk
Waylon 5 min to lights 30 seconds later not lopsided (ifyaknowyaknow) walks up 8 riser steps gives a twist off his hat an ease into that blast of adrenaline. Lord I ms ya hoss it was truly a long time ago.
Saw him in many places. I especially remember a gig at Max's Kansas City in NYC. Small room...like a private show it was. Thought I'd lose my mind!...Waylon, Ralph Mooney and Richie Albright...never forget it!

Use to live at this joint and danced till it closed in the seventies, sad it is closed because I would certainly give it another go, waylon your are missed as well.
At least there was one real outlaw in the room!
.I got lucky and was able to raise hell at both Lucky's and JD's in my misguided youth.Today's generation does not have these kinda places,and that is why today's so called country/Western sucks big time,
I was cocktail waitress, 1966-1964, had just as much fun as customers. Loved it Nope, gone, gone
Michael McKenzie Tanya tucker
Saw her in Wilcox when she was younger than young
It's why country music,if you can call it that,sucks today
Michael McKenzie: God it must have been awesome to live in that time! Can't imagine seeing Waylon in his prime!
Always one of my favorite singers ever since my Dad explained who was singing the song to my favorite TV show at that time, the Dukes of Hazard. Well he scheduled a Prineville, Or concert in 1990 and I must have been the first to buy tickets. But 2 days before he was scheduled to come to town he canceled due to problems with his diabetes.

berto01 n
No backing dancers,no costume changes
JUST DAMNED GREAT MUSIC!!
WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOOD WE HAD IT THEN!!
WHAT WAS THE LAST ALBUM /CD YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT BROUGHT HOME AND EAT DOWN AND LISTENED TO???
GUNS AND ROSES APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.
While I loved ALL of his songs...my favorite was "Ladies Love Outlaws"...it was a chuckle and oh so true!
Never saw this before...Thank you so much for posting...Always Love Waylon...Best voice ever....
All Hail to The Good Times!! Waylon has the right of Way!
when music was still good...
Still is -- you just got to search past the mainstream ones. Do some digging of your own and you'll still find good music made today.
RIP OUTLAW!!!!!
Waylon...one and only
Thats a GOD right there man the absolute BEST there ever was nobody will ever compare ! 🇨🇦👍
This is true Country Music "Then ,and Now and Forever True Country Music".
It Just don't get any better than THIS!

Hi Thanks 🙏 is a great 👍 show fantastic you can’t beat the the quality of Waylon
Oh yes the good ole days the way it should be miss ya buddy,had a lot of good times listening to you bro!!!!!!
All I can say is this is to cool
Driving down grand Avenue in Phoenix makes me real sad to see Mr. Luckys in its dilapidated condition. I love UA-cam. Best time machine
I saw Waylon 5 times in the 70s and the 80s in so. Florida and they were sold out everytime... What great performances... Thank you for posting on the tube!!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this , blew my mind , I love the country western fashion everyone is wearing ... unreal , I do remember those times indeed .
He is so gorgeous. He oozes charisma!!!!!
Mr. Lucky's was a great joint. They tell me I had some real fun times there.
Lol
It sure was a great place...Just awesome..well, back in the early 80's it was..LOL
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂Margot
Whish I was there👍👍
Did anyone notice James Garner in the audience? What a timeless performance.
We couldn’t miss seeing James Garner because Waylon introduced him. Waylon also introduced his “better half”, who was his wife, Jessi Colter.
He is buried in the Mesa Cemetery where my family is...and yes I will go there too.
I have been to Waylon’s grave site. Waylon is buried in Jessi’s family plot, close to Jessi’s mom and dad. There is an empty space beside Waylon for Jessi when she passes.

Awesome! The legend lives on!:)
He realy was one with the crowd.
This is history on film. Thanks for the video.
everyone showing up for the concert has the same genes.. i kid i kid. love waylon and all the hillbillies
I love the intro w/ people getting ready to go see them some WJ
Waylon was a fucking badass
+Fuzzy Ewok That's why that wife beater Charlie Dick likes him.
You Are Missed Hoss!!! RIP Bro!
this is awesome..thanks.
Waylon live in Mr Lucky's great concert
Waylon was a true outlaw
I remember back in those days everyone wore cowboy hats. I enjoyed watching the bull riding in the back of Mr. Lucky's. Lot's of hangovers from that place!👍😁
great footage thanks for posting waylon, and rockford classic
👍🤠🎸🎤🎵GOOD STUFF,ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES 👍🤠🎸🎤🎵.
He can jam
He can jam !!!!! Love him.
Hoss is the boss
Just how many women in middle thought gonna get lucky that night with waylon lol....
They may have thought it but it wasn't about to happen. Jessi was there. Lol
Was the entire show taped? This is a great show! I would have loved to see the entire thing!
Yes, for a TV special. James Garner as a guest. This is about the time my son played cards with James Garner on Waylon's bus for about an hour at another show. He was 10 yrs. old and didn't have a clue who he was. Just Waylon's friend to him.
Thats great country music,wonder what happened.
$$$$$$$ Big business ruined everything. Dollars became more important than the music. The "Autotune" could make anyone a star, if they had the money.
It all turned to crap, that's what happened.
Luke Bryan happened
Waylon rules all .
Damn I'd give anything to be at this show or these old Honky Tonk's in 1980. Also the Motorhead tour of 1980.
Does anyone know what hat Waylon is wearing hear? It's not the Lash Stetson that you see at hat shops because it's shaped like a western fedora with straight brim and pinch front crown. And is that Thor's hammer on the front? It looks very similar to the hat Lemmy is wearing on the Motorhead Ace of Spades album cover.
A woman that's known me since I was 2 used to have a pickup with one of those Waylon covers over the rear glass.
Great clip!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed it all the way.
Got to sing at Mr. Luckys back in the early-mid 80's...DANG I miss that place..
I heard a funny story bout Waylon, he tries cocaine and says to the guy who got it for him " How much a pound of this stuff cost?" Oh Waylon you don't want a pound of this..
" Yeah, I do!"
The guys at youtube have a video of that interview. I think its during the story of "Don't you think this outlaw bit..."
From the depht of the internet. I cannot remember accurately any more lolz. All I know I had seen it before and was shocked it was not in youtube yet. Damn that Hoss had style!
Oyea....way more!
Please lord ... I wanna wake up teletransported back there in that time , with all that amazing country and western fashion and music , cool cars and pickup trucks and everything simpler ... and I promise lord I won’t look forward to the future of 2000’s .... I tell everyone enjoy right now !
Two of the coolest men of the '70s/80's. Waylon Jennings and James Garner. This stuff is timeless.
My hero
Ironic... Waylon owned JD's in Tempe about 30 minutes away. Heck, Mr. Lucky's didn't let me in because I wore a T-shirt and not a collared shirt.
Me at 2 years old Brain 🧠 surgery at 5 years old love 😢Codeine. ❤️
when I was high school. I was there every weekend for the bull riding with several friends from school, and stay for after hours. man the memories!
