  • Waylon Jennings performs "I Ain't Living Long Like This" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
    A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
    Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

      i wouldnt say he was the best picker, many many times he doesnt even have his guitar plugged in, but thats not just him, my dad worked with many people from Nashville and they said whether their guitar was plugged in or not, they felt uncomfortable without it, but anyways, many times he is just strumming but you cant hear it.

A few years back someone posted the full movie on YT,it was about 4 years ago. Watched it again for the first time since I originally seen it. What memories that brought back! So many in the movie that aren't with us anymore, & we've lost others since then. We sure do miss y'all!❤😔😥💔

      Sorry for being that guy but Waylon's picking was quite simple actually. He played some rhythm sequences because he was a rhythm guitarist but in a unique way that they sounded like a solo. I like the sound of it and I love Waylon Jennings but it was not something difficult to play.
