The only country music superstar that actually took time to have a conversation with me. He was just standing in the crowd before the show. I walked up, introduced myself and my wife, asked him about the inspiration for some of his songs. I then told him I was looking for a record (Jimmy Buffett doesn't live in Key West anymore). He showed me where I could find it. Shook my hand and walked on to the next fan.
But he will never get the TRUE recognition that he truly deserves ,until after he has left us , so sad !!! DAC is a true artist but will go down like all the other greats , will not make the real $ until he’s gone !!! SO , so , sad !!
If this were true he would actually be famous but he can't write good songs . He only wrote 2 half decent songs and thet weare Lay With Me and Take This Job And Shove It
@@jeffbruner4875 Says the normie. The symptoms you just posted show that you can't think for yourself, even your taste in music is based upon the approval of others.
He was an outlaw that wouldn't confirm to the Bullshit of Nashville. He spent most of his adult life in and out of prison. He was definitely a one in a million talent for sure. I love his music. God bless David Allen Coe
Bullshit your a 50 year fan. If you knew anything about David ALLAN Coe. You would know how much of a Hissy Fit he would throw of you misspelled his name.
DAC is world famous but still hasn't gotten the credit he deserves. He is on a level with the greatest country song writers of all time. He never backed off or made excuses for his history and that made the big boys in the music business afraid of him. It made the fans love him more. He is the original and true outlaw who , more than likely, inspired the entire country outlaw thing. As far as I know it was only DAC/HAG/PAYCHECK that actually did any time.
Dont know that willie did time, but hes been in trouble for sure. I think of this every time i hear this convo. Willies as outlaw as those guys. He just lived long enough to go straight (his legal weed strain/company)
@Matt Beeman Cash never went to prison except to sing. Been to jail several times. Sorry I had to Google it. Ol Waylon has been in jail a few times himself.
baler johnson so true .I will tell you he will never be honored by everyone that emulated him and made millions until he's gone ..I loved him in my youth and still do and you can add my name to those that served time for just being human marijuana lover I am .to people like him .fuck all the party Saturday repent on Sunday cowards they can kiss my ass as well ..
I saw him in Baton Rouge LA about this time. His early albums were so GREAT GREAT GREAT - I wore them all out !!!! This looks like the outfit he wore back then. I really loved him back then - not in more recent years. not the same.
I love his music! His personal life is what it is. Country music spans the lives of every walk of life from what some people feel is the lowest to the highest life form. That is the beauty of it. I can usually find something that every artist has done to like, and of course many more for some artists like this guy! He is a legend!
Me and my wife saw him in Hope , Arkansas at the Sundowner club . Him and his band were awesome!!! That was in 2000. I've never seen a better concert at the big stadiums I've been to.
Just wonderful, I thank my dad for thrashing his record when I was a kid,i think i'm starting to truly appreciate the greatness of Merle..,David Alan Coe!🔥🍻
he is one tweaked up rejected country star, that is for sure, and one of my favorites . The last concert I went to was at the diamond ballroom between moore and oklahoma city and del city area, off of eastern ave
Deep south outlaws...we still out here! I went and saw Squench the other day on DAC cove in Jackson, MS. Real Mississippi shit. Look it up. Love you DAC.
I first heard this when a friend played it for me (back when I was in HS... in the 80s) I thought it was the funniest freaking song I'd ever heard but, laughs aside, I thought it was great. Still chuckle a bit when I sing along "laughing at the hippies who are praying they'll get out of here alive"
My brother first played DAC to me at his home in London. I laughed until I ached. Now back home in Australia I play him to who ever will listen. Ya gotta love this guy.
I'm not even a real country music fan but I love this guy. Or maybe this is REAL country music & I'm not a pop country music fan? Either way I love this guy. I remember coming in late one night. His bus was parked on the street. I wanted to go meet him but didn't want to disturb him. I didn't even know he was in town. Still probably a good call not fuckin around that bus.
I've seen him twice the first time in early 9th he was way to drunk .but a few years ago I seen him and he was real good I will always love his music definitely one of the great under rated country stars
I remember being in some little ratty Okie town for a rodeo in the early 70s when this song and Up Against the Wall was popular and DAC was drinking and singing in the dive we roamed in since was stuck overnight
Well I just got a call from David's and my 15yr. old daughter uspet what was said, here again I see why! Yeah he is an ex but I was only 16 when were married and only, I was pregnant within 2 months, and "Look, we are still very close, please think of people like kid's when you write your ugly comments, as I don't have 1 bad thing to say about the man and I sure have a beautiful daughter thanks partly to him and how many of ya'll's ex's would say that"? yes I believe the age difference was just a # to me! He is a perfection with his work and for many years David did it all,bookings, management , writing and entertains by giving all of himself to his shows. He's done something right as he has many millions of fan's! That's to all the good comments..
I’m just seeing this comment. I have the same kind of relationship with my ex who I met when I was just 16. Love him to death and a great father I was too young and I grew out of the relationship. Funny I knew David’s brother Jack. DAC came to Buffalo a few times and I enjoyed the hell out of him and he was always good people when he would come play our local dive bars One if the most down to earth musicians in history. Tell your daughter that she’s got the best fuckin’ parents in the world besides my kids parents. 😘 peace to you and your family
Do the math.He is 75 a kid 15 his ex is 32.yes it about numbers and money.who at age 16 WOULD marry a man about 60 yrs older.She should be in tenth grade high school .she said a child with him .this is FACTS as math. .
I sure wish I'd gone to see that cat at the Armadlllo Palace in the "Classic City" in the 70s. I was in the Corner Salon next door quite often. ...a friggin' Checkers there now; and Corner Salon was an old stone building
I also saw during a hurricane while living in Houston Texass , my1st wife and I were only 2 of about 14 that braved the weather and showed up ! Was the best up close and personal show I have ever been to ! I'll be a fan til the day I die and beyond if possible !
Miss those Ft Hood Bars in Killen Tx, about 1990-1991, and hearing this song . 8 females for every dude , because all the dudes were over in the sand box. Much appreciated.
DAC....country really doesn't get any better than that. I know how he feels "...I've won every fight I've ever fought...." and there's been a few (from prison in Glasgow to well......). Keep them coming please DAC forever xx I first heard him sing Fuzzy and loved his music ever since.
Was just listening to his music from cd and thought to myself i wonder if there's much of his stuff on youtube. pleasantly surprised and even more so to see this old vid
I respect ANY man who lets' me know where he stands. -Even if he is wrong- Nothin' worse than an asshole who plays the sheep and ain't nothing but a devil! Love David A Coe!!!!
I've seen him play twice. The last time was two days ago and it was sad. A shell of a man sitting down struggling through some songs. I will always love his music but wouldn't wish him live on anyone.
Same thing with Buddy Guy. I seen him in 2009 and he was great. Seen him last year and he SUCKED. Played for about 45 minutes and left. No encore, nothing. I know he is up in age but DAMN man.
Relapse d If you are referring to Buddy Guy, the reason I was pissed isn't because he was an aging performer nor how he sounded. He and all the other have my respect, but when I pay $190.00 for two tickets, I would like to see at LEAST an hour show and one encore. I don't believe that is asking too much especially from a battle tested pro such as Buddy Guy. Hell, my SEAT hadn't even gotten warm yet before it was time to leave.
I kinda want to be in a old movie..ha. This is a cozy performance. I was 12 years old when this was played I guess. I remember now. My mom slapped me. Ha. A disguared memory. But still good song story. Thanks.
his early life was terrible. messed him up something awful. but he overcame and became quite successful. very inspirational. the only one I know of that had it as bad or maybe worse would be Billy Joe Shaver also an excellent songwriter.
I once saw a version of this video with another half where he starts talking about how this song is the best country song ever written and sings another half. Anyone know where I could find it?
Who is still listening in 2024
Me!!!!!!
Yup
Well never stop .lol
Me too !
Snappy tune DAC is king one of the greats
Why the hell david is never mentioned in the same breath as cash or haggard or jones is wrong. This man is a legend
What are you talking about, he is. He did a song with George jones for fucks sake. Great fan you are.

That’s Johnny cash AND Dac performing Cochin Carolina, because you suck as a fan
Oh wait what’s this? Dac Waylon and willie? Yet they never get mentioned in the same breath

I love that song! I like a bunch of songs off that album. Lol

he got out of prison late 60's, and didn't go back
You know, we can praise his songwriting and his singing, without honoring his self-mythologizing and persecution complex.
him and johnny paycheck was real
@@slonggerpaycheck or cash
Ones a note the others real greenbacks
lol he spent most of his youth there too. Great songwriter & singer/performer though!
I saw him when I was 16 and drinking in bars Tho X rated album God Bless him I'm 61.
I was lucky to see him perform 3 times over the years. True Country Rebel
Lucky
I went to see him in 2005 he was saying he was 64 at the time
Been a fan for 50 years , have seen him live at least 20 times , hope to see him 20 more ! What's a biker without David Allen Coe and Bob Segar

Love these old singers man live or on track they sound exactly the same! Just pure talent in them no technology crap!
Great singer/song writer some of the greatest country music of all time..Why isn't he in the Country Music Hall of Fame??????
One of the best a true OUTLAW not only did he sing it he lived it!
I saw him in Baton Rouge LA about this time. His early albums were so GREAT GREAT GREAT - I wore them all out !!!! This looks like the outfit he wore back then. I really loved him back then - not in more recent years. not the same.

Best music video I've seen in at least 30 years.
I love the older country music nobody cant beat the older music
I have listed to this MAN for the past 40 years and I know the words to every song that he wrote!!
Dammit he was a killer live during this era. What a frikkin performance. Goosebumps
Me and my wife saw him in Hope , Arkansas at the Sundowner club . Him and his band were awesome!!! That was in 2000. I've never seen a better concert at the big stadiums I've been to.
Is there such a thing as hard core country? If so, this is it..
drumzRfun1 raining were I'm. At
Yeah there is and he is one of the forefathers
Outlaw country!
right you are
They call it Hellbilly now
Just wonderful, I thank my dad for thrashing his record when I was a kid,i think i'm starting to truly appreciate the greatness of Merle..,David Alan Coe!🔥🍻
Truly an artist of the "highest" caliber, like john Belushi, hendrix,stevie ray,Joplin, james dean,marilyn monroe , Robin Williams
Absolute best rendition of this song.
This is such a great song. Authentic in every way.
The ever constant song rider thank God I got to hear his songs.
DAC
Did it his way!!!
Never sold out to anyone.
Still the rhinestone cowboy.
And if that ain’t country... well you know what you can do
He was signed to rca...
@@danokerr9929 Doesn't mean he sold out.
He STILL did it all "his way".
He’s lewd and crude, but I love his music, and he’s got a big heart once in a while.
my favorite country song of all time
Been a fan forever and was blessed to be able to hang out with him in Deadwood S.D.
He's definitely the real deal.
Almost 40 years later, I seem to be more moving to this song than the crowd back then. Love DAC
This was the year my dad was born. God rest your soul I miss you!
he is one tweaked up rejected country star, that is for sure, and one of my favorites . The last concert I went to was at the diamond ballroom between moore and oklahoma city and del city area, off of eastern ave

I saw him live at Ionia Speedway in MI around 2013 give or take a couple of years ..
Mike Skidmore was that at the Ionia Free fair? Saw many shows there. Wish they still had them.
Love his songs and thought he sang them awesomely.
I love how DAC switches up his lines when you see him live.
Thanks for sharing this!
I performed a lot of his songs and still do.
Great live version from the year I was born.

DAC. Love you man. Speak the truth for us.
One of the greatest "Outlaw" C&W artists ever.... Truly has earned his place in the Hall of Fame....
Where and why has this music gone? 😥
Dude looks like he needs 2 quarts of water and 17 straight hours of sleep.
get this guy an apple
Hi I'm Loria. I love this music
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO CHEAT
THAT IS TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC
WOW pure awesome

Continuing this legacy
seen him live a few times, always a good show, need to see if he is still touring, maybe go raise some hell
And I need to renew my friendship with Jim Beam.
a true Rebel by every measurement
A true rebel, and he was born, grew up and went to prison in northern states, hardcore, great musician, and great writer.

I kinda want to be in a old movie..ha. This is a cozy performance. I was 12 years old when this was played I guess. I remember now. My mom slapped me. Ha. A disguared memory. But still good song story. Thanks.
his early life was terrible. messed him up something awful. but he overcame and became quite successful. very inspirational. the only one I know of that had it as bad or maybe worse would be Billy Joe Shaver also an excellent songwriter.
Awesome! can't remember where i was in '74
I once saw a version of this video with another half where he starts talking about how this song is the best country song ever written and sings another half.

Your thinking of you never called me by my name.
HElll yea brother DAVID
FUCKING AWESOME
