I know there was a video of D,Yoakum singing Guitar Town!!! Can not find it anywhere on the Internet? ?? Do you know where I may find this video? ?? Thank you!
Poor Dwight will never get the credit from Country Music he deserves, he reminds me a lot of Willie Nelson Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings in the 70's and 80's when they were killing it and never got any recognition! His fans know how great he has been tho!
Unless you experienced him in the late 1960's, you don't have any idea at just how great this singer-songwriter-musician could be. He was so good on guitar and violin that he was featured in jazz magazines. What a talent!
Dwight come slidin' in like a pimp!!! and I gotta say, Dwight's harmonies are severely under-appreciated... not only can he carry a song like a boss but he can respectfully back up other artists while still shinin'...
Dwight is a top star and can do live what he does on records.... I saw and heard him in the 1990s live. He's the real deal. And I grew up on hillbilly and early Porter/Dolly in B&W TV... in Bristol, TN. I know about country.
Watch Merle doesn’t keep his eyes of off Dwight. Such a gem of a video and we are all thankful for it. Dwight doing the broken leg cowboy was excellent. God bless the Hag.
Just saw Dwight in concert in Missouri - he was fantastic! Did 90 minutes w/o stopping - and a beautiful tribute to Mere, as well as Buck Owens. Made me proud to be a fan of real country musicians! (May 2017)
Merle is the GOAT in my opinion. I have always loved Dwight and how he learned and understood the history of country music and paid proper respect to it. Dwight is an absolute legend in his own right.
Two LEGENDS of country music. REAL COUNTRY MUSIC. Not bubble gum, candy assed, schleps in tee shirts. Singing about how sensitive they are. And they're up for good times.
Thank you Jamey I lost my husband to lung cancer and he was my best friend my lover and my husband and he was the best man God ever put on this earth as far as I'm concerned he's been gone 12 years and I still cry cause I miss him so much it's so hard to let him go I'm trying to find me a good man but there's not one out there but I love that song it's beautiful and God Bless You
Merle Haggard is with out a dout the best thing that ever happened to country music thats what good country music supposed to sound like and Dwight Y. is a true pro comes out and sings perfect pitch harmony
@@CharlieRootsMusic Lol. She asked what's wrong with your leg! Too funny! Just pretend you were shot in the foot but you are a trooper and manage to make it out on stage to play anyway...
Saw Merle once at the Ryman saw George once only too. At the Mother Church. I have seen Dwight 3 times there. Dwight is the BEST in the last 30 years. He shows respect to the one that came before him. He will be 61 in October this year. He plays A lot of shows. Going to see him in Reno. One of the best Love acts ever. RIP Merle George Buck Johnny you are missed
I saw Dwight in concert once and he totally sucked! No personality didn't interact with the crowd nothing just sang the songs. I could have stuck in my tape recorder and got as much out of it if not more!
@@kristinaokelly862 I saw Dylan at the Ohio State Fair eons ago, and I felt the exact same thing your talking about, it was the biggest snooze fest ever, crowd barely applauded and people were walking out halfway through the show, I felt embarrassed for him. Still a legend, but yikes, a really off and awkward performance. Fun fact, my mom grew up with Dwight and used to babysit his little sister in Columbus, Ohio.
djpaustin Oh C'mon..!!!! Stop the judgement. When a guy sings like that.. and having a Life like that, he transcends beyond all issues.. But let's get really Talent like that , Greatness like that can not happen often... But Hellya... I wish there could be at least a couple among the present modern country singers holding with 1/100th of their (DY and Hag) taste and talent and holding up their flag and keeping it flying high... Maybe Hag's kids would do that..
I am sorry but the current male country stars aren’t even in the same type of race. There will be no one to fill their shoes for a very long time. Sad to say.
Merle Haggard The Best of the Best and then Dwight Yoakum comes in and blow the roof off he's going to be our next Legend no one else like him he's a one-of-a-kind rest in peace Merle Keep On Keepin On Dwight Yoakam
Agree...Dwight has made his mark and everyone loves him...i was in Nashville when they didnt want him .but Buck knew what a great artist he was...Dwight kicked ass and now they want him..had the pleasure of meeting him in the 80s..he was so nice...love this man
Two legends having a great time! Always respected Dwight for not just sticking with what he knew worked and trying different things and his respect and love he had for the true great country artists of the past.
I love me some Dwight, don't get me started on merle ,im 62 listen to this since I was 2. Dwight is our last connection, should have won a Oscar for Slingblade.
So cute how Merle adds his own fancy footwork to match Dwight's.... how awesome to see 2 country legends come together and collaborate on a classic song!!! Pure Enjoyment!!!
I absolutely love this clip. I watch it every time I go into UA-cam. Two of country Music's best, singing Swinging Doors together; what more could one ask for? When Merle passed in 2016, we lost thee best of the best, and it's a blessing to be able to still see him in concert like this. And Dwight is the perfect singing mate for him on songs like this. And to publicly thank Merle for letting him do Swinging Doors with him, that's the sign of a gentleman performer. Way to go, Dwight! And one more thought - this IS real country music, not like the garbage coming out of Nashville today, with performers who look and sound like failed pop singers who have tried their hand at country music to make money ,and who have no understanding what country music really is about.
Merle loved Dwight as did a lot of the older singers! All the people who do the thumbs down thing, I would love to hear them sing harmony with Merle Haggard on Swinging Doors (when I started writing)!! They are jealous because they can’t do anything!

Lyrics:
This old smoke filled bar is somethin' I'm not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
And I just called to let you know where I'll be livin'
It's not much but I feel welcome here inside
And I've got swingin' doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has a flashin' neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
'Cause I'm always here at home 'til closin' time
I've got everythin' I need to drive me crazy
I've got everythin' it takes to lose my mind
And in here the atmosphere's just right for heartaches
Thanks to you I'm always here 'til closin' time
And I've got swingin' doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has a flashin' neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
'Cause I'm always here at home till closin' time
Yeah, I'm always here at home till closin' time
I know there was a video of D,Yoakum singing Guitar Town!!! Can not find it anywhere on the Internet? ?? Do you know where I may find this video? ?? Thank you!
hell yes
If you don’t know these lyrics, you ain’t a Hag fan.
I'm gonna sleep good tonight...

Icon!
Yes too true...
I absolutely love Dwight's twang
All are terrific singers won't ever be gone as always are around as here because when hears their songs
So true a Icon in country music
I respect Dwight so much when he said thank you Merle for letting me sing that with you. Class act for sure.
Dwight really shows up Merle!!
That’s respect most young folk ain’t got no more
The way he backs off the mic and does a beautiful harmony part. Pure gold.
Dwight did not show up Merle. Yeah, he sang it just as well as Merle, but better ? No .
In April of 2016 we lost a true Legend! RIP Hag.
Unless you experienced him in the late 1960's, you don't have any idea at just how great this singer-songwriter-musician could be. He was so good on guitar and violin that he was featured in jazz magazines. What a talent!
Dwight is very underrated
Dwight come slidin' in like a pimp!!! and I gotta say, Dwight's harmonies are severely under-appreciated... not only can he carry a song like a boss but he can respectfully back up other artists while still shinin'...
Dwight is a top star and can do live what he does on records.... I saw and heard him in the 1990s live. He's the real deal. And I grew up on hillbilly and early Porter/Dolly in B&W TV... in Bristol, TN. I know about country.
l don't care what anyone says about Dwight he can sing and act if they don't like. don't like dwight they can kiss his ass
No one can say anything bad about Dwight Just make him keep his hat on
Truer words were never spoken!
Alison sparrow
The smiles on the bands faces when Dwight came out tells you all you need to know.
Tomorrow is Happy Birthday Dwight my heart always and forever. He'll be 68.
I'm glad Merle got the attention and acclaim he deserved in the closing years of his life. Greatest country singer of his generation!
Yes he was
totally agree. I love Merle

Watch Merle doesn’t keep his eyes of off Dwight. Such a gem of a video and we are all thankful for it. Dwight doing the broken leg cowboy was excellent. God bless the Hag.
the cream of the crop always
I thought he got shot in the foot but dragged himself out to play anyway...What a trooper. Lol

Dwight is the epitome of what country music is…🙌🏼
Hes amazing in person I've seen him twice he has a style, and a sound like no other

Now that's country music. Not like the crap the corporations are putting out now.
You aren't hearing anything close to real country these days on the radio it's just bad rock and roll with a Twang
for sure
@@patriciapetitt7452 love these too guys the good old country music
You got that right,,,
Miss Merle Haggard, Dwight is good but I loved Merle’s Concerts more and he was more polite to fans than Dwight was!!!
Two of the coolest guys to ever play country music!! I'm from PA and love that Bakersfield sound!!
I am originally from Pittsburgh Pa, now I live 200 miles from Bakersfield.
Merle Haggard is with out a dout the best thing that ever happened to country music thats what good country music supposed to sound like and Dwight Y. is a true pro comes out and sings perfect pitch harmony

Saw Merle once at the Ryman saw George once only too. At the Mother Church. I have seen Dwight 3 times there. Dwight is the BEST in the last 30 years. He shows respect to the one that came before him. He will be 61 in October this year. He plays A lot of shows. Going to see him in Reno. One of the best Love acts ever.

THE VERY BEST Honky Tonk Song EVER!!!!!! Performed by Country Immortals.1,0000% Country Gold!!!!
Now that's real country music
Beautiful. Uplifting true Country.
2 amazing artists! Dwight is a legend now, but love how he shows respect to Merle.
Dangit Dwight, we need you to step up man. You are one of the few who can fill those shoes, of guys like Merle, Willie, George, and Waylon.
I saw Dwight in concert once and he totally sucked! No personality didn't interact with the crowd nothing just sang the songs. I could have stuck in my tape recorder and got as much out of it if not more!
Yes Merel is a one time singer I love his music I grew up with that

Yes, Merle does a funny little step, not just here, but in other videos I've seen. So cute!
Dwight was a fan of merles and I'm sure it was a treat for him to work together
What an entrance Dwight makes. He is such a gentleman and a class act❤🌹
I love how Merle impersonates Dwight when he sings "where I'd be living" in the first verse. Merle was the king of impersonations
Incredible how Merle harmonizes on the final chorus, and Dwight just goes with it.
PURE COUNTRY!!!
2 legendary country singers
Rest in peace Merle haggard
Hello 🫂 how are you feeling today

Somewhat strained
