The original honky tonk hero. Gave us all so much inspiration. To me he was the best. He told his life story as he sang his songs. A true gem, diamond in the rough with a heart and soul as big as Texas. A real troubadour. R.I.P. Billy Joe Shaver. Just like your music, in our hearts sir, you will live forever.
Good ones gone on.... Lost so many loved ones this last year. Lost 2 life long friends, 2 brothers & a nephew. 2020 took great talent. 22 & 23 family & friends. Hurts..
Went to see Billy at Poodies a long time ago when Eddie was still alive, still in the top 5 shows I’ve ever seen. Met Billy at the end, he’s got so much kindness and integrity in him, a true legend.
I knew Billy Joe just as a person through mutual friends before I ever saw him perform. Only afterword did I learn of his widespread friends base. He was a very humble person with no pretense to impress anyone. He gave me some koozies one day while he visited the shop where I worked. I painted the t-tops on a 80 corvette he had bought to play with awhile. He was always interesting to talk to but sometimes you had to start the conversation because he and I were from different worlds. Back then I did not know his backgtound and I wish I could have asked him about his life more than just what he offered upfront. He did not seem to mind talking about his early years. I had a similiar accident in a woodshop as a young man but not as sever as his. I ran into him several times at the rot rally in austin when he performed there in the heat. I miss talking to him but Im sure his is happier now where he is. Maybe no heartache.
Incredible show.... so glad Billy had this crack band doing his historic music justice in his final years. God Bless You Billy Joe so many great nights with you and Eddy down in Austin.
He was primarily a songwriter, but a surprisingly authentic performer. He simply presents his 'being' to you. That might be too much 'reality' for some. But for those of us who 'know,' we like this presentation of 'being.'
More American than mom and apple pie! My hero! Had the pleasure to meet him 3 times and he is a total class act. More talent in his little pinky then all the new music people. Please recover and come back to Arizona soon.
BJS my all time favorite American Cowboy Hero! Lucky enough to get to hang out with him a few times on the Alabama gulf coast and in Nashville, he's really a great guy. What ya see is what you get. He told me that he thought the finest thing you could do is give the world a song. MyDaMnWoRd 😬 🔫
I will remember that forever, it sounds just like something he would say. I onc asked him how he comes up with so many songs and he told me he still had dozens written down that neeeded more time invested in them. I asked hm where he kept them and he said in his boot and grinned.
I musta notta hada lotta exposure to Billy Joe, but better late than never. It only took me hearing a few tunes and Billy telling a few good stories to understand that he's obviously a living legend. Oh, the boys in the band absolutely kill it. Peace. Out.
Just saw Billy Joe Shaver last Saturday night in Temple,Tx. He is the real thing great songwriter and sings from the heart.Got a great band with him too! Willie P.

Billy Joe and Guy Clark ...irreplaceable loss of our story tellers... That 3 piece backing him here is rock solid, and this guitar player is in the pocket... (lousy filming on him my only critique... missed the entire “honks tonk heroes” solo...)
That guitar player isn't fit to carry Eddy's guitar case. Love the songs, but the live show isn't the same. On a positive note, it's wonderful that Billy Joe is still doing gigs because these wonderful songs need be heard.
Billy Joe has been straight for years.comes onstage with a saddle bag full of water.hes a 70 something year old who still does over a 100 dates a year.
just came from his show in Tomball, Tx outstanding even though he fell 3 days ago, both eyes black...he is 78 years old, yes sobor for years, a Texas Legend!

I saw him in a perform small bar in Nashville back in the 90s. His son on guitar, drummer,bass player. It was awesome ❤!🇺🇸

Billy Joe Shaver puts a lot of"modern country" artists to shame, hope he keeps kickin' for a long time to come....
Billy joe is country! I don’t know wtf today’s shit they call country is, I know it ain’t damn country! We Miss ya billy joe and Eddie too!
He was primarily a songwriter, but a surprisingly authentic performer. He simply presents his 'being' to you. That might be too much 'reality' for some. But for those of us who 'know,' we like this presentation of 'being.'
That is a bunch of 'bs'
You want everybody to "dumb it down" because you're embarrassed by anything intelligent. This i a typical American attitude.@@larmondoflairallen4705
I flat out agree with you bud, BS is right, tell that stupid f... To go and talk to Hank jr.
He was Billy Joe, thats all he wanted to be to anyone. Read his book sometime.
Great Show! Great Guitarist! R.I.P. Billie Joe Shaver , I Have Enjoyed Every Moment.
More American than mom and apple pie! My hero! Had the pleasure to meet him 3 times and he is a total class act. More talent in his little pinky then all the new music people. Please recover and come back to Arizona soon.

The best singer/song writer. Very enjoyable.
God bless you and your music. Rest in Peace Billy Joe.
I saw Billy Joe twice and both times were great! He has a crackerjack bad band with him! I got to talk with him and get a picture,great guy.
Just saw Billy Joe Shaver last Saturday night in Temple,Tx. He is the real thing great songwriter and sings from the heart.Got a great band with him too! Willie P.
Rip Billy
His son Eddie,helped “make”Dwight Yoakam when he first hit the scene.
Great legend
rip Billy Joe,you will live forever
Thanks for posting this one. He was such a good songwriter, and performer.
His band is pretty rocking. That guitar player, damn. He does justice to Eddie Shaver's memory.
That's Jereme, and he has a Billy Joe tribute band now called Surrogate Son
Dancin’ with Billy!😻🌈
I love it!
This was absolutely FANTASTIC!
Billy stay healthy and
show the youngsters
how to play.
Great show!
He just can be admired.
gettin old but plenty to say. Id rather watch this than some plastic cut out fabricated by a studio. Great live concert warts and all .
I would've stayed in Texas if it weren't for my ex. Woud've loved to have seen him live and met him. What a gentle giant.
Thanks for sharing 👍

Legend!!
That guy... Norm macdarnold introduced me
Got to see him in 2015 Willie Nelson's 4th of July picnic Austin Texas COTA track
Billy has been reunited with his son in God's kingdom.
As good as it gets.
🐐
This is not debauchery; this is poetry, or so we are asked to believe.
brilliant got his great dvd live in austin texas
badass guitar player
# 1 outlaw country hero! Plus he is smart enough to love our President Trump!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Cool jam ♪ ♫ ♬ ♫ 🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Fire ♪ ♫ ♬ ♫ 🎶
Rip Billy Joe great man songwriter an singer . Who is the guy playing guitar anymore know?
That’s great are you a solo guitarist
That dude is good I know you are too man glad to hear that
Love Billy Joe, but man, Eddie is the best on that guitar!
Damn, I miss Billy and Eddie.
Who is the guy playing Lead Guitar? I couldn't understand when it was mentioned in the video.
Jeremy Woodall
Jeremy Lynn Woodall he sometimes gives private guitar lessons when back in the Waco area great guy!
Norm McDonald loved Billy Jo as I do
I'm sad to this day he's not in the country hall of fame, I'm mad about it, I think to him it would not matter, just my thoughts
That guitar player isn't fit to carry Eddy's guitar case. Love the songs, but the live show isn't the same. On a positive note, it's wonderful that Billy Joe is still doing gigs because these wonderful songs need be heard.
He's good but he sure aint Eddy
He's damn good in his own right! See him live on the front row and see for yourself
Thats a ridiculous comment. This guitarist is adept and proficient. ( I used both my 5$ words there)
@@ojaisherpa just because he is still doesn't mean he's fit to carry Eddie's guitar case. Different league of guitar players right there.
Eddies playing is great but for me it is over the top, kinda like watching Ted Nugent play.
Great!!! man, is that a Mustang amp?? Sounds awesome.
True country. POP COUNTRY REALLY SUCKS!
EXCELLENT JOB!
best $20 ticket you ever bought
Did Billy ever sang get thee behind me satan live?
Yep
You talk about losing one of the very best!
The guitarist in this video has a new album! ua-cam.com/video/nGXo53MY2tU/v-deo.html
Who's the guitar player?
🔥🔥🔥🇺🇲🍻🍻🫡🫡
BILLY HAS LOST HIS MIND
It's a shame that such a legend went into old age looking like a clown simply because he couldn't manage sobriety.
Dont throw rocks unless you can also take some hits
I think he's tone deaf here.
Sad to see, Billy seems like he's drunk and lost
Billy Joe has been straight for years.comes onstage with a saddle bag full of water.hes a 70 something year old who still does over a 100 dates a year.
Still seems lost and disoriented to the man I've seen at shows
just came from his show in Tomball, Tx outstanding even though he fell 3 days ago, both eyes black...he is 78 years old, yes sobor for years, a Texas Legend!
A legend - they don't make them like him anymore. Take a long look - when he's gone, that's the last of a generation of ol time country singers.
wrong - this is classic BJS - he could not have spoken all those words flawlessly if he were high on anything, believe me.
