The way that Johnny Cash looks at his friend Willie Nelson with so much admiration and love honestly chokes me up every time I see it. Miss him terribly.
I have been trying to stop a tear for ten minutes...., reading 'your' comment means I no longer have to...., 'the tear' has been joined by a few friends and is already rolling down my cheek!!!
I am almost certain this is one of the best vocal performances ever! So musical in typical willie nelson fashion. Just gives you goosebumps with how incredible this song is written and performed
When you've got those three guys just standing around and listening because they can't think of anything to add that would make it any better...you're doing something right.
Man what a soft, gentle, yet strong voice. I'm so glad to have been born before the corporations corrupted everything. This man sings of life, and not the pursuit of material things.
My dad used to sing this to my mother when I was growing up. Lost him in 1999, and her in June of this year. This brings back great memories, but man I miss them.
As we all know, Elvis made this song popular but, Willie nailed it.....his studio version is absolutely incredible. And then live. What an amazing artist. And being the writer of, "Crazy" sung by Patsy Cline. Timeless....
My 96 year old mother chose this as her funeral entrance song. Made sense to me, she had four children. and she was never overly affecionate. Love her miss her.
one of the few songs my late wife didn't roll her eyes when I sang.She felt the meaning I meant specially for her.This and Never tear Us apart.Miss you Veronica,still always on my mind.
Ill second that and I was born in1989....feel ripped off growing up in a generation of mass produced pretend artists. These guys are the real deal!!! This song gets me every time! Goosebumps and tears! RIP Johnny and Waylon! Xxx
"This tune always makes me cry and makes me blue. The sound of His guitar melts my heart down to the ground. With a warm and lonely voice that gives hope, then the lyrics ripe it from your throat and that bring you back to the empty well of Tears. That fall on distant family ears. Leaving you with Sunday fears We all keep on listening after all these years. Some of the best Jazz country music I've heard in all my years. " KEH 10.06.19
Willie Nelson's "Always on my Mind" is a lyrical masterpiece that paints a vivid picture of heartache and longing, with bittersweet melodies that tug at the heartstrings and poignant lyrics that cut like a knife.
Love the way the 3 of them stood back and listened to Willie sing, then applauded when he had finished. Respect with a capital R. Great singers and musicians. That song is so very special to so many people, including me, I love it when Willie sings it.
My late husband loved Willie Nelson. We liked to tease each other, and when a Willie song would play, I would tell my husband that "Willie can't sing". Then we would get in a huge discussion (not argument) over Willie's voice, or lack of. My husband died unexpectedly in 1984. We were both 37. Since his death, I play Willie's songs & by gosh, he can sing. This song is extra special to me, because when Willie sings it I think of the past 38 years and "what should have been". I wish I had told him more often that I loved him, and how much he meant to me. I know I will see him again soon, and I cherish that thought.
I don’t think I’ve seen any comments about the rest of the band! Completely wonderful!! And as I,am a retired sound engineer, I must say the mix of the singing mices and all instruments, is absolutely perfect!!! Today two of the heroes are still alive. I hope they stay that way for many years!!!!!
Yes indeed. I find myself meticulously watching members of the band throughout each song...absolutely magnificent...whoever choreographed the band mix is pure genius. They are as important, if not more so, to the success of this concert...they made each of the guys sound their best. You have to listen and watch carefully, each band member has a special part if you can catch it !!!
Willie forgot to sing 2nd part of 1st verse. Oops! Funny to watch & listen to the band reconfigure the melody on the spot. And the somewhat strained look on KK’s face at 1:23 is priceless. But as with all slow country jams, such mistakes are easily remedied so only dorks like me would ever notice. Lol
Willie your a Texan and Country legend I’m from Texas and I’m honoured that I was born were a Country Star was born. Hope I can see you one day soon either on Earth or in Heaven. God bless you Willie Nelson.
We've all had that 1st true love ...mine got away and even today this song tells it all ... it's been 30 yrs and she's still on my mind ... Annie you stolled my heart .
"Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee and first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972.
This guy is so true in doing this, and his guitar so living When i was younger listening to fancy metall and rock bands - now i'm crushed by this "simply" track
My beloved dog passed away a month ago very suddenly from complications after an Addisonian Crisis (we didn't even know she had Addison's Disease until a day before she had to be put down). She was only 5 and a half years old. Every time I listen to this song I think of her and cry. All the things I should have done with her or for her, all the things I wish we could still do together. All the things I took for granted. I regret not doing so many things together with her. I still can't believe she's really gone. It feels like any second now I'll hear her claws clack on the hard floor. When I sit on the couch and put my foot on the floor I still try to find her and slip my toes underneath her to keep them warm and be able to touch her. I miss giving her kisses on her big ol' head and snout. I miss her perpetually wet nose. I miss her big soft beautiful brown eyes and they way they looked into my soul. I'd give anything to just hold her again. I have so many regrets, things I wish we could have done. She never got to see the ocean. She never got to go camping. She never got to go swimming. I just never took the time. I love you so much, Martinique. You were such a special girl. I'm sorry I couldn't help you any more. I did what I could, my angel. I'm sorry it wasn't enough.
Brenda Lee was the first to record this Wayne Carson Thompson classic but she never released it as a single. Elvis did it later but no one did as well as Willie.
This song "Always on my Mind" is written for Willie to sing to entertain us all. More legendary artists can cover it too to their best n highest level of entertainment, but none carries the degree of kharisma n magical love as the one sung by Willie Nelson.

I totally agree
This song is on repeat the best cover I’ve heard so much effort has gone into this Willie is the living 👑 no wonder he won awards for this ❤️
The best and noticeable comment in the world 🌎 sings it so much better it’s perfect it’s on repeat
The world is slowly running out of the best artists ever.
well, willie nelson has yet to leave us, so we still have quite the amazing artist with us today.
I agree
this shit today is just that, shit
Absolutely, best regards from Germany
@@tomgray7049 Jason Isbell, Sarah Jarosz, Gillian Welch, Mulehead, you're welcome
The simpler the better, 1 instrument, 1 singer, a nice story or poem and nicely arranged notes. And very little production
To my dear husband who is now home with Lord. This is to you I miss you terribly I love you dearly.
He loves you too
I am almost certain this is one of the best vocal performances ever! So musical in typical willie nelson fashion. Just gives you goosebumps with how incredible this song is written and performed
Who doesn't love this old rebel?
He is the ONLY HIGHWAYMAN left with us , PKEASE STAY ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍😻🙏
The way Johnny cash looking at him...
Astounding
With his very soulful eyes 👀😍🥰
Willie"s voice is timeless! Completely beautiful song.
This man has the most compelling voice. When he sings songs like this, it renders them so true.
You should hear Willie's son, he's amazing! Just like his dad.
He kills it, especially the last line! Waylon & Johnny loved it.
No big egos here. Four fantastic singers.
And fantastic guitarists
Not all 4 can sing well, but can perform good!
@@sjefhendrickx2257 They both can sing very well.

Written by Wayne Carson, John Christopher and mark james

Best cover is from Elvis
"Thousands of colours of this song and nobody can sing it like this, not even Elvis"
Elvis did it just as good, or better...

If god made better songs and singers he kept them for himself
Pure.luck I saw them live in Australia
Respect
Pure respect 👏🏻👏🏻
Also notice the other 3 all clapping for him. Just shows how respectful they are of each other.

How true.
I was blind. You're always on my minds!!!
This man spoke a story that speak regret, sorrow, and lost in one song. Love you Willie
The look from Waylon and Johnny. Priceless.
Man what a soft, gentle, yet strong voice. I'm so glad to have been born before the corporations corrupted everything. This man sings of life, and not the pursuit of material things.
This man is willie nelson !!!
@@Mysterious13138 Yeah buddy!
many many people do. corporations have ruined nothing, only the way u see things.
This is when we were still in charge of our life. Very sad we do not have our country anymore.
When Johnny Cash and Waylon clap you know its a great song

Willy Is a man and Singer amazing, his voice stop to me and I feeling something too especial, God bless you friend
No one does that song like Willie Nelson. Even when parts of it are almost spoken, it's just somehow better.
He still has that pizzazz keep on going my friend
just like the Irish accent
So true. His account is quite unsurpassable

Well said man. It’s a beautiful version and Willie is one of a kind. Elvis’ cover holds a special place in my heart too.
Nelson: A voice powerful and clear. The way I like it.
Love the way the 3 of them stood back and listened to Willie sing, then applauded when he had finished. Respect with a capital R. Great singers and musicians. That song is so very special to so many people, including me, I love it when Willie sings it.
Class❤
This song is really good when sung by someone with experience in life
No one does it like Willie
I adore all of those masculine Highwaymen. So talented.What glorious music. Bravo forever….
so refreshing to see real stars that don't put their country down.
True , Proud , Happy to be AMERICANS
One of the great songs from the greatest ever country singer,one quarter of the greatest group ever.
This voice
So much respect for the genuine down to earth goodness (and phenomenal voice) of this man.
I love the other guys' reaction at the end.
Willie & Trigger are a gift to humanity
And once again thank you Mr Nelson for the goose bumps and your emotions God protect you
Allot of people can sing.. But these men are singers!! That's a huge difference... Loved every song!!
"1:24.
Willie: "Give me one more chance. I'll keep you satisfied. I'll keep you satisfied."
Kris: "Euuh"

five times in a roll and still can't get enough and the icing on the cake are the reaction of the guys. BRAVO Mr.Nelson BRAVO!!
I can't believe how good the quality of the video and audio is. And then of course, there's the indisputable quality of the music itself.
There are 10-15 songs I love most - this is one of them
1.25 when he really starts playing that guitar. Absolutely incredible. One of the greatest guitar players of all time.
Am i old? Our am i just in love with this type of country? Thus song hits to hard for the younger ones. Love you mom!!
BRILLIANT
Every time I hear this song, it brings me to tears. I think of my ex girlfriend. Thanks Willie Nelson, you’re a living legend, Stay strong!

That moment when Willie has done his work perfectly and the three other guys look sooooo happy! 2:32
These men were my introduction to country music at the age of about 14. For this, I salute them.
This is the way music is suppose to be done
Seen this guy in an interview? He is just the same awesome guy….his music is the damn same. What a legend! Love him !
Since I'm a certified country song lover, I'm going to watch this concert as long as I'm able to.
What kind of freaks dislike it? That's fine music!
With great respect, a fan from Russia
Absolutely brilliant
My whole life this man has been ancient looking... and I am 50 this year! :)
