Isn’t it though!! I’m always struck by that too listening to this song because out of all of Kris’ prodigious talents his voice could sometimes not be the strongest but HERE HE SHINES!! ❤️
The Highwaymen are the the best tractor music ever. Bailing hay and listening to these legands is like heaven on earth. The small of the hay, the birds flying around. An honest days work to provide. Perfect.
Waylon and Johnny are out there RIDING that Silver Stallion Forever!! An HONOR to be listening to this IN THE COMPANY OF ALL OF YOU HERE!’ THANK YOU ❤️❤️💞
@@scottmeeks662 🙏❤️🌹Kris lived such a a Truly RICH AND FULL Life, from his early days as a Rhodes Scholar through his years as a Helicopter Pilot in the Army attaining Captain’s Rank and of COURSE his Stellar Career as a Prolific Songwriter, Musician and Actor spanning Decades! Few people at the end of their lives can list so many Accomplishments as Kris. He remained a staunch supporter of Veterans and was close to his Children. A Life well lived and he will be Missed! 🌹💕❤️🙏
@@LazyJack2003Kris said that while he always loved being part of the Highwaymen it was only after Waylon and Johnny were Gone that he TRULY realized what an incredible Honor it had been for him to stand beside such Legends, along with Willie for so many years and incredible performances. And now Kris has joined them riding that Silver Stallion, and only Willie remains here with us for a time. We MISS you All 🌹🙏❤️❤️🙏🌹
Those dudes are the "Memphis Boys", they recorded with the biggest singers you can imagine. Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley and many others. In this concert they are Gene Chrisman (drums), Mike Leech (bass), Reggie Young (guitar), Bobby Wood and Bobby Emmons (keyboards). Except for the Memphis Boys, in this concert is Mickey Raphael, the long-time harmonica-player of Willie Nelson, Robby Turner on pedal steel guitar and J. R. Cobb (rhythm guitar and background vocals).
He’s totally unbelievable. I am in constant admiration of how he weaves his incredible runs through the melody and changes seamlessly. I keep going back to their ghost riders in the sky version live. Listen to Reggie’s runs on that one. Genius. 🙏
I was at this show. I love 'em all, but Waylon, more than the others, seemed to embrace the whole Highwaymen concept. He gestured and talked to the audience, made jokes at his own and everyone's expense, and got the crowd into it. Without Waylon taking on the role on an MC, it would have just been 4 singers singing their own songs and a few collaborations.
He once introduced the Highwaymen with the following quote: my name's Waylon, his ain't, his ain't and his ain't. That's all you need to know." Love that so much
One of my favourites - I absolutely love Waylon's verse and his shrug at 1:35, such an effortless and charismatic singer, guitarist, performer, you name it. They don't make em like Hoss anymore.
They are the best of the best. They always will be. Their music is gonna be heard somewhere around the universe forever. Rest in peace Kris, Waylon, Johnny… May the god save Willie; the very last highwayman. Youre all still around, living still and be back again as highwaymen or may be a single drop of rain. But youll be remain…
It IS haunting and Poignant (how’s that for a dictionary?) because 2 of these LEGENDS are gone now, but their MAGIC lives on in their musical LEGACY with songs like this!! So YES I agree completely with the person who called it Haunting!
Thank God we lived when they did, I don't think there will ever be music like this again. At the time I think we took it for granted and thought we'd always have music like this.
To all fathers and all mothers, yesterday our son received his high school diploma as the best in school in Munich, Germany. In the director's tribute he was described as “modest”. He chose this song for his walk in. Not a bad way to show ourselves that we did something right.
Written by my old friend Lee Clayton; what a awesome song you wrote Lee and The Highwaymen do it proud-although I still listen to you singing it after all these years! Cheryl from Lou Adler's office for 20+ years!
Cheryl--Great. I wish I knew more about him. I only learned about Lee and got into his music because of the Highwaymen. I hope he made some decent royalties from the Highwaymen record. If you know Lee, maybe you can ask him about the second verse, which Waylong sings here. The lyric sites all say: "I'm gonna find me a reckless woman/ With razor blades and dice in her eyes." Common sense tells me the real lyric has to be "With razor blades and ICE in her eyes." I've heard o an icy stare, but never a dicey stare. I think Lee sang it with a hard "d" at the end of "and" and lyric transcribers mistakenly attached it to "ice" and made it "and dice." Waylon also sings it with a hard "d" making it sound like "and dice," but Istill think it's "ice."
I am a middle person and hard rock person but these guys will always make me listen to their stuff. I miss the ones that have left us the young folks coming up are trying to understand this but they ain't quite got it. And I think it will never be the same again in music without these guys that I have left us
I’m in my 30’s. I saw this entire concert for the first time when I was about 17 on DVD. I still have that dvd and play it often when I’m doing things around the house. Yes I still have a dvd player 😂
Great times - I remember all the different independent radio stations playing this . Would hear it cruising to work . If I could only go back to then . 70s & 80s was great times .
Always a big UK fan of the Highwaymen love this song and Reggie Youngs guitar playing hypnotises me. He was a consummate musician and should have been far more well known. Sad to have learned he is no longer with us. RIP Reggie Young.
Luv this song!! Their polyphony in the refrain is what amazed me at first hearing Fun fact: only Chris is actually contributing with the guitar. And they also got a guy playing only harmonica in the song. It's a great melody, a great theme, and a masterful performance! Greetings from Croatia!
Not everyone is as Lucky as we were to get to know these Legends in their Prime! As many here have said they’re Young and are just discovering these Masters for the first time which is actually GREAT because that’s how they’ll LIVE ON through NEW generations!!
I found this gem years ago and loved it, and thinking now in Red Dead Redemption 2 you developed a bond with your horse and putting the two together this is what it's like, you sometimes have to ride like the jack of diamonds with the devil close behind, and the horse trust you like a brother the more you bond.
There's more talent on this stage, then all of todays soo called country of today. Todays country is like dance rap hip-hop crap..Yea you, Listen and learn ..PLEASE..
@@ruger51995 well he did write a lot of songs that people don't know about, before he moved off to LA.. and if you didn't have Chris you wouldn't have The highwaymen.. I still give Kristofferson a lot of credit.. thanks. S.

It's an insult to call them a "boy band"
I’m 20 years old. But I know this:
There’s more talent on this stage than there is in country today.
lmao very true. how did you find this music if ur only 20?
It’s all I’ve known.
Steady on it’s not a competition like.
Sad but true.
I'm 68 years old, have lots to say, , God bless you 🙏
A masterpiece. If you’re listening to this from September 2022 onwards then you’re a legend. You still know great music. And you’re my friend. 🙌
Thank you.
From Argentina ...i love them.
Discovered them in 2020, I listen everyday.

RIP kris , looks like we got us a convoy
❤
This is what makes America great , I'm so glad I was raised in the country on amazing music.
49 year old bloke listening to this with tears in my eyes and I ain't got a clue why, it's just got me some way.
It feels nostalgic even though I've never heard it before TwT
Love these talented entertainers!
It’s that lead melody on guitar that does it for me. It’ll grab you.
Memories will get you everytime!
Same here bud. Its beautiful!
No auto tune , no bullshit. Just pure talent
4 Legends ❤️
old rabbits
And love of art, and fraternity, and poetry, and...
Exactly!
npc
No, there is a bit of autotune, listen closely!
RIP Highwayman #3 😢
Amen. ❤️
Cash is my all time favorite but Waylon live is so great. Wish I was born earlier so that I could see all these legends live in person
I will die happy because I got to see them all, together and apart. LOVE ME SOME OUTLAWS!!!!!
At the same time I'm glad we have modern technology to immortalize these legends
I’m only 20 man and I feel like I’m the only person in my friend group who understands how talented this super group was
Same here. We can still see Willie and Kris live though
Jesus Died For You I actually saw Willie live last year he was awesome even at 86
2024. 26 years of age with tears in my eyes and I don’t know why
Great musik in good old times and you were too young for enjoy it live.
I'm old and i don't like to change with you.😉
Tears in mine sometimes.. I'm 74. Yeah. But know what? I just found this song tonight. Don't even know how I missed it..
@@wayne-lj4in same sir
Same. 26 aswell. No tears but almost. Am fighting them but the chorus Is Makin the bastards win.
I’ll finish this 2024 listenin to this fantastic song. Happy new year 2025 everybody! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We will NEVER hear this Song performed like this again EVER!! ❤️❤️🙏
Only Willie is still with us. There will never be giants like these again... true legends. 4 outlaws who will be remembered forever.❤
@@Diogodeamorim yes
There will never be anyone like the four of them. I can listen to them over and over again.
Those dudes playing instruments are boss at what they do, they dont get much recognition but they are excellent at their job
Reggie Young at the Tele is definitely the right guy for this job
The lead guitarist is reggie young lol. He was pretty damn well recognized for his contributions to the music world.
@@Turbo0bill damn Skippy

Arguably one of the best songs they all performed together, the whole concert! I watch and enjoy it often 💜 RIP Waylon and Johnny 💔
Just call him Johnny he changed his name to that for a reason
@@brian5128 thanks for pointing that out. Correct much? Wow
Brian What?
@@camokeever3317👍❤️
5 51am
I was in the front row for this. I'm the one who yelled out "November rain" right before he did the song.
December 24 and only one left standing!
only one alive keep her lit willie
You can tell Waylon was having fun
He was top 5 best singers in country music, he sounds exactly like his studio recordings he was great
Idsay waylon was some craic as the irish wud say
Given the way Waylon acted when singing his part methinks he is the one who came up with the lyrics regarding the woman's thighs. Ha. Ha.
And Johnny was still healthy and happy.
Reggie Young is such a tasteful player , there’s a reason he’s one of my all time favorite players !!!
He’s totally unbelievable. I am in constant admiration of how he weaves his incredible runs through the melody and changes seamlessly.
I keep going back to their ghost riders in the sky version live. Listen to Reggie’s runs on that one. Genius. 🙏
First time to listening this music and I think is a masterpiece ( I'm 26 years old from Paraguay)
Music for the soul. And the heart .
I was at this show.
I love 'em all, but Waylon, more than the others, seemed to embrace the whole Highwaymen concept. He gestured and talked to the audience, made jokes at his own and everyone's expense, and got the crowd into it. Without Waylon taking on the role on an MC, it would have just been 4 singers singing their own songs and a few collaborations.
highnrising yeah
Waylon was a highwayman long before this group formed, we'll never see a supergroup like this again soo much talent on one stage
Waylon - always the coolest guy in the room ;)
He once introduced the Highwaymen with the following quote: my name's Waylon, his ain't, his ain't and his ain't. That's all you need to know." Love that so much
Him and Johnny always seems to be joking around in the background on all the songs when they're not singing
RIP Kris, a true legend.
Hard rock girl…
Didn’t know I loved country until I heard this
That shows good taste.
What a supergroup. long live outlaw country
Trash Days want talent? Here it is.
@@sherrysetliff2502 who u?

One of my favourites - I absolutely love Waylon's verse and his shrug at 1:35, such an effortless and charismatic singer, guitarist, performer, you name it. They don't make em like Hoss anymore.
Totally agreed how about his little guitar licks on his verse that he sings what a legend
He was one in a million. He loved women. A total stud.
Who can’t love these men?
Brilliant sadly will never perform again
@@jennifermarshall5826 Thank goodness for UA-cam❤❤. Their beautiful music will live on forever.
the traveling wilburys of country music .no egos, no attitude, no one upmanship. just admiration for each other and their craft. Very Cool.
Amen you are a good judge of real character in folks that is just like you and me
They are the best of the best. They always will be. Their music is gonna be heard somewhere around the universe forever. Rest in peace Kris, Waylon, Johnny… May the god save Willie; the very last highwayman. Youre all still around, living still and be back again as highwaymen or may be a single drop of rain. But youll be remain…
Im 29 years old, born 1993 but i love this kind of music..for me it doesnt get old
Your a blessed soul for ear and talent at it's apex
Im 19 and same, the lyricism and vibe of this songs is timeless
Willie, Waylon and the boys. Not enough appreciation for these legends anymore. God bless the highwaymen.
RIP Kris, Waylon, and Johnny. You are missed. 😢
They should play this on the radio. It's BS they don't. New music doesn't measure up to this great art
What America is all about. True greatness.The country boys will always survive.
Absolutely great foursome, who give us joy!!❤🎉🎉🎉
This could very well be their best song. It's too haunting for words to describe.
Written by the great great Lee Clayton.
I agree, this is just a smooth, super easy listening to song. I love this song.
HAUNTING ? man, we need a dictionary. I love this song tho
It IS haunting and Poignant (how’s that for a dictionary?) because 2 of these LEGENDS are gone now, but their MAGIC lives on in their musical LEGACY with songs like this!! So YES I agree completely with the person who called it Haunting!

Never
RIP KRIS! Big fan from HUNGARY! 😢😢
Country music will NEVER be this good again..
Never. Country music Is not as good now as it was then. We need another Waylon:/Willie to stir things up.
Never will this caliber of men and artists will be witnessed again. Thank You Highwaymen. 🙏🇺🇸
Willies hair was kickass here!!! That’s a Texas mullet
Yep lol
Rest in peace KRIS ❤BIG Fan from Denmark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰🇺🇸🇺🇸
Reggie young playing the guitar makes the sound the sound even better 👍
The four men have a great quality at their voices. They sing superbly. RIP Johnny and Waylon.
They are RIDING that Silver Stallion out there FREE!! ❤️❤️
To all fathers and all mothers,
yesterday our son received his high school diploma as the best in school in Munich, Germany.
In the director's tribute he was described as “modest”.
He chose this song for his walk in.
Not a bad way to show ourselves that we did something right.
just a great song .. amazing vibe.. makes me think i am born too late. would have loved to see these legends live...
Yeah, that's what I say. I born definitely to late!?
1:11 Why is Waylon SO cool? The way he looks as he sways into his verse.
I'm pretty sure these guys could have sung from the phone book together and it would have sounded great and touched souls.
Written by my old friend Lee Clayton; what a awesome song you wrote Lee and The Highwaymen do it proud-although I still listen to you singing it after all these years! Cheryl from Lou Adler's office for 20+ years!

Another awesome song I played many times during my road-trips; that's just the perfect song for driving in the wide open spaces of the American West!
You are so Damn RIGHT
Using up all of my battery power but I don’t care!! Can’t stop listening to this Concert!!
Still watching in 2024, greatest masterpiece the world has ever seen by far!
It's like fly and freedom
This version is a masterpiece !!!!
Worlds best live consert ever
Waylon Jennings voice and guitar licks when he does his bit love it
Reggie was an absolute legend!
I am a middle person and hard rock person but these guys will always make me listen to their stuff. I miss the ones that have left us the young folks coming up are trying to understand this but they ain't quite got it. And I think it will never be the same again in music without these guys that I have left us
I’m a hard rock girl too, would ever claim to like country, but this is a masterpiece.
I close my eyes and think about driving through the southwest desert at sunset, windows down and this playing. It’s just a settling feeling. Relaxing.
I love your IMAGERY listening to this song! It’s Perfect!
That lead guitarist is awesome!
Listening to this while working from a cabin in the north of Sweden. I'm gonna chase the sky forever 🙏
Good old Waylon Jennings 😎, remember him coming home in West Texas,most July 4th,and sing ,,great man, family,and songs..great music 🎶
Unbelievable talent
I’m in my 30’s. I saw this entire concert for the first time when I was about 17 on DVD. I still have that dvd and play it often when I’m doing things around the house. Yes I still have a dvd player 😂
That's what I call real music!
What an amazing guitar player Reggie Young is,
The 5th Highwayman if I might say!
Descansen en paz Johnny, Wailon y Kris!! Tres forajidos montando ese caballo por la eternidad! Leyendas 🔥🥃🌄
Great times - I remember all the different independent radio stations playing this . Would hear it cruising to work . If I could only go back to then . 70s & 80s was great times .
Weren’t they JUST!! I’d go back in a heartbeat!
This is badass as fuck. Probably the most significant event, sonically speaking, to ever impact any of our lives. But maybe it's just me..
What an amazing group of legends to be together. So much talent. Gosh I miss the days music was music.
When waylon starts singing😩👌🏻
I was born too late to see them live but I am glad that it is possible to watch all these videos
Always a big UK fan of the Highwaymen love this song and Reggie Youngs guitar playing hypnotises me. He was a consummate musician and should have been far more well known. Sad to have learned he is no longer with us. RIP Reggie Young.
Sad to think that all these guys are more than 30 years older!!! They’re still my ‘best friends’!!!
Luv this song!!
Their polyphony in the refrain is what amazed me at first hearing
Fun fact: only Chris is actually contributing with the guitar.
And they also got a guy playing only harmonica in the song.
It's a great melody, a great theme, and a masterful performance!
Greetings from Croatia!
Was introduced to the highwaymen when I was 7 years old, turning 17 next year, never gon stop loving the classics
I watched the full concert yesterday on PBS and I had no idea that I love country, it literally made me tear up(especialy this song
What took I so long to appreciate real god given talent ?
Not everyone is as Lucky as we were to get to know these Legends in their Prime! As many here have said they’re Young and are just discovering these Masters for the first time which is actually GREAT because that’s how they’ll LIVE ON through NEW generations!!
Wow ❤❤ I don't know if I hear their legendary voice, their tunes, or their moves on stage. They are truly the magic of country music.
I wish this concert was on vinyl. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Just heard this for the first time at 38. Listened to it on repeat for 4 hours. So good
I spending 3 years during covid pandemy in Netherlands, hiding in forest listening The Highewayman. Salute to them
Reggie young what a man r.I.p.
I'll tell you this song is phenomenal
Just wish they were here today to thank them !
Had a smile on my face from start to finish 👍

How good were they absolutely amazing
