This one has hit me harder than any death ever has when it was somebody i had never met. I'm an Okie and it's just not the same around here with him gone. I really can't explain it. Only good thing about it is the local stations have been playing a lot more Toby than usual. Rip big guy!
@@boblozaintherealworld3577up until the last few weeks i really thought he was going to be ok. Even knowing for years that he was aick, it still just shocked me when i woke up and found out.
Love how Willy stayed in the background and let Merle and Toby have that special moment together Great memory Rip Toby You and Merle are singing together again 😢
My father was a Merle fan, as a kid would play Merle's Records for him as he sat on the back porch drinking a beer! I always sat and sang with him! I miss my Dad!
66 years old love that music. It's all gone by the wind now. Still listen to it constantly when I can no good music now. Country Western has gone downhill. God bless all the old country-and-western singers.
Merle is like a fine wine, he's sounding even better as he gets older! Incredible. And great job by Toby Keith on the high harmony. I'll never understand why this kind of old school country doesn't get any airplay anymore.
Carrying a very heavy and devastated heart for Tobby and his family. Definitely gone too soon. His death has left a lasting emptiness in the hearts of country music fans ❤❤
This was awesome. Toby rest in peace. You're with the angels and we can still hear you sing. God be with you and your family. You fault a hard battle but you won your wings in heaven
Boy, ill tell you what , those high notes that toby was hitting behind merle were golden. It's sad to know weve only a few legends left now. But blessed to have shared in their music 🎶
I am so sad and heartbroken over the passing of *Toby Keith* . I wish I had gotten to see *The Oklahoma Cowboy* in concert but never made the time to. *Rest in Peace Toby* *It's not Goodbye* , *but see ya on the other side* *We all Miss You and Love You* .
Merle Haggard will always be missed he was a top of the top country singer country songwriter Toby Keith we can you say more about him he became a a leader of all the country music stars I believe more Toby Keith will become the biggest star in country music just like Merle Haggard George Strait and so many others before before him thank God the Toby Keith
A classic song with classic singers! I sure miss you Toby! Merle was a bit older for me to follow. Saw TK 3 times in Kansas-once on the 2nd row before the stage. Awesome!!
Whoever wrote that third verse to "Friends in Low Places" for Garth needs to write a third verse for this one... This song literally just needs one more verse to really make it feel complete.
I can't honestly believe you think a someone who wrote for Garth belongs anywhere near this song. What an insult to actual music. Even Earl's other successful country song for George Strait isn't really that good.
Hello ... Good day very good singer my no. 1 fevorite country song Merly hagard as for me he's still alive and I always watching thanks sir Merly hagard...
Toby Keith can make anything a hit. This is my favorite song from Haggard. Toby Keith kicked it up a notch. YES! Think Merle and Willie looked a lil' confused most of the time. That's what TIME does to ya :)
I'm about to learn this song and sing it with my guitar. My poor southern Baptist Momma is going to lose her mind over it and though I don't ever care to go the way of this lifestyle, I do adore this song. HAA! Y'all pray for Momma - she's going to hit the roof when she hears me sing it the first time. Should be good for some seriously funny shock value.
01:23 - That's live music at its best. I bet only a few people watching this live noticed that, and those who did probably thought "Ah, that's professional musicians keeping the song rolling" - and it turned out beautiful. Wonderful performance to see...
4 decades ago he wasn't,3 decades ago he wasn't,but now Merle is really haggard. LOL This would have been an awesome performance with two other country legends,Alan Jackson and Glen Campbell.
Nobody's a bigger Merle fan than me, but when Toby came along, I thought - "Wow, where did this guy come from?" Willie is no small shakes, himself! What a trio!
I'm not really what one would call a fan of country music, but I can definitely appreciate a great ballad like this. I only have one problem with it though...it's too darn short! lol
What has happened to the great country music genre. Some of the best songs written were Country. We have lost so many legends and no one has ever come close to filling their boots.
… The first thing I remember knowing Was a lonesome whistle blowing And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride On a freight train leaving town Not knowing where I'm bound No one could change my mind, but mama tried … One and only rebel child From the family, meek and mild My mama seemed to know what lay in store Despite all my Sunday learning Towards the bad I kept on turning 'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore … And I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried … Dear old daddy, rest his soul Left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest Wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right but I refused … I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied Leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
WOW JUST FUCKING WOW!!! 3 GREATS!!! TOBY ACTUALLY HELP MERLE IN THE END TO FINISH UP A CONCERT SO HIS PEOPLE COULD GET PAID BEFORE HE DIED. RIP MERLE YOU ARE MISSED MY FRIEND!!
I'm a big fan of Merle Haggard and Toby Keith. (No I'm not from Oklahoma) I love them because they are both unlikely success stories. Merle really did do time in jail, the odds were against him to ever turn his life as a felon around. And Toby Keith is a big old boy, he thought his future was in Football. Got drafted for the OU Sooners, that didn't work out, tried Arena Football, tried working in the oil fields, gave music a chance and finally had a hit in his 30s. Both, on paper, never had a chance. But their talent, songwriting, and perseverance, made them both undeniable. I really respect that drive and commitment.
MERLE HAGGARD, TOBY KEITH, WILLIE NELSON - "MAMA TRIED" "MAMA TRIED", a song that made history and doesn't need to be introduced to country music lovers. As for the trio who performs it, they're all three performing the genre I adore: the outlaw country music. NO COPYRIGHTS INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.
I miss Toby so bad already, not sure how long im going to feel so bummed for. I always will to a degree, no doubt, but as of now it just doesnt feel real to me. He is the first person whos death has affected me like it has. I honestly just cant wrap my head around it. I'll come to grips with it then watch another one of these videos anf get lost in it then when its over it hits me like a ton of bricks yet again that he is gone. I absolutely hate it and i never met the man in my life, just an Okie and a Sooner fan that looked up to him. I feel like i lost my favorite uncle, best way i can describe it.
Eevery time I see Willie with another artist here on you tube, he is always content to let the other guy shine... it doesn't always have to be about hi, He is a class guy.
R.I.P Toby you legend. Devastated.
my wife and I still just blown away.
Me too, hit me nearly as hard as loosing Merle. It was like we lost Merle all over again. RIP fellas
Requiescat in pace, Toby! Who would've thought that the oldest of these three gentlemen would live the longest!

Great memory
Rip Toby
You and Merle are singing together again 😢
Rip Toby and Merle, true country legends. You were unapologetically real country, God bless
The Hag , Country music's finest !!!
You know Toby made it when he was singing with these legends!
You will never ever be forgotten , you live on brighlyt in your music, that only you could create !
My father was a Merle fan, as a kid would play Merle's Records for him as he sat on the back porch drinking a beer! I always sat and sang with him! I miss my Dad!
Ditto, my Dad played Merle’s records while rocking in his rocking chair, smoking a Winston some of my first memories
❤
66 years old love that music. It's all gone by the wind now. Still listen to it constantly when I can no good music now. Country Western has gone downhill. God bless all the old country-and-western singers.
Merle and Toby are jammin big time now with the angels
Rest in peace TK
I miss T. K... He and Merle 2 of my favorites.
Merle is like a fine wine, he's sounding even better as he gets older! Incredible. And great job by Toby Keith on the high harmony. I'll never understand why this kind of old school country doesn't get any airplay anymore.
Never b replacef
The liberals couldn't stand it😂
Liberal moms try too.
R.I.P Two Legends of Country Music Gone.
Rest in peace Toby and Merle
R.I.P. Toby and Merle
Carrying a very heavy and devastated heart for Tobby and his family. Definitely gone too soon. His death has left a lasting emptiness in the hearts of country music fans ❤❤

These 3 singers together are fantastic! Love this!
I am so sad and heartbroken over the passing of *Toby Keith* . I wish I had gotten to see *The Oklahoma Cowboy* in concert but never made the time to.
*Rest in Peace Toby*
*It's not Goodbye* , *but see ya on the other side*

We are so lucky to be able to view this Over and Over
Our Country Music will always live on ❤

Possibly the best country song of all time… it’s for sure on the short list
❤❤ SO DARN AWESOME!
GREATESY AS USUAL! I COULD LISTEN TO THEM ALL DAY! THANK YOU TOBY AND MERLE! YOU'RE THE BEST! BP❤
Toby was great in his own right but I’m sure he was a bit awed playing with those two juggernauts of country. How could you not be.
This rock and roller could listen to this over and over the rest of my life.❤
😢 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I miss toby everyday 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. Losing my mind😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.
That was amazing! One of my favorite Merle Haggard songs with a little help from a friend! Fabulous!
I notice Merle gets more peppy when he's playing with friends
Love their country music singers
Toby vient malheureusement de rejoindre Merle, bien triste tout cela.... de grands nom de la country qui nous quittent....... RIP à tous les deux.
if you love country music oklahoma and family then for their sakes or your own watch msbones1950

Two legends gone too soon
These are the Gods of Country Music.
If my momma didn't pray, I'd have surely turned 21 in prison doin life without parole!
Willlie is 90. I think God is going to have another performance of this soon.
A classic song with classic singers! I sure miss you Toby! Merle was a bit older for me to follow. Saw TK 3 times in Kansas-once on the 2nd row before the stage. Awesome!!
Dudes you werethe best !

Well Toby and Willie, I have a pink Hoodie from my aunt. And it says Mama Tried in the memory of the Hag himself. R I p Merle.

Toby Keith can make anything a hit. This is my favorite song from Haggard. Toby Keith kicked it up a notch. YES! Think Merle and Willie looked a lil' confused most of the time. That's what TIME does to ya :)
Willie,Cash,Merle,Wylon revolutionized country music to the world!!! The outlaws!!
Rip Toby Keith
Merle Haggard is the best country singer there is, he's my idol.
I'm about to learn this song and sing it with my guitar. My poor southern Baptist Momma is going to lose her mind over it and though I don't ever care to go the way of this lifestyle, I do adore this song. HAA! Y'all pray for Momma - she's going to hit the roof when she hears me sing it the first time. Should be good for some seriously funny shock value.
Is it that shocking though? Either way it's a fun song to play, you'll have a jolly time
Great tune to have in your pocket.
You try that yet? Sounds exciting!
Tobbies chewing gum has been stuck on his teeth but he still sings υπέροχα!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi guys.
When I heard this combo I had to grab my guitar and learn it. One of the best songs I play now...
Country music when it was still country
Country music doesn't exist anymore, we only have the old stuff. I can't bring myself to call that new stuff 'country'. It's crappy music.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
@@jura_rose - exactly.. i listen to this "real" country music and i wasn't even born when these hit the top of all the music charts
@@jura_rose well 9 years later, and I am thanking you and your days have been good for you.
01:23 - That's live music at its best. I bet only a few people watching this live noticed that, and those who did probably thought "Ah, that's professional musicians keeping the song rolling" - and it turned out beautiful. Wonderful performance to see...
I notice Merle enjoys having his friends on stage with him.
Now that's real country music. Not that pop shit they're trying to push with these enlightened men!
R.i.p Merle haggard I miss you and your songs
4 decades ago he wasn't,3 decades ago he wasn't,but now Merle is really haggard. LOL This would have been an awesome performance with two other country legends,Alan Jackson and Glen Campbell.
well done toby
pretty good look at you 👍❤
The best country song ever made.
Merle was like a fine wine only sung better with age
Goddamn I loved Merle... Almost makes me sad watching him sing
Nobody's a bigger Merle fan than me, but when Toby came along, I thought - "Wow, where did this guy come from?" Willie is no small shakes, himself! What a trio!
I'm not really what one would call a fan of country music, but I can definitely appreciate a great ballad like this.
I only have one problem with it though...it's too darn short! lol
The Grateful Dead does a great version of the song.
Today's country music can't e compare to this. Today's music has gone sissy
Great song toby
I was already old for this concert, but it was country gold!
VERY GOOD TRIO
The song is the life story of Merle Haggard. In his passing away we have lost a great country singer. His music lives on.
Respect brotha
Well said partner!
What has happened to the great country music genre. Some of the best songs written were Country. We have lost so many legends and no one has ever come close to filling their boots.
… The first thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I'm bound
No one could change my mind, but mama tried
… One and only rebel child
From the family, meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
… And I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
… Dear old daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
… I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
Leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
Wow tobykeith ❤
Super show. Improvised very well.
Toby was in heaven here.
Very nice. Willie is still the best
Would love to see Merle, team up with Junior Brown. They just seem like a comparable fit. Merle Haggard, is the best that country music, has to offer.
WOW JUST FUCKING WOW!!! 3 GREATS!!! TOBY ACTUALLY HELP MERLE IN THE END TO FINISH UP A CONCERT SO HIS PEOPLE COULD GET PAID BEFORE HE DIED. RIP MERLE YOU ARE MISSED MY FRIEND!!
Abbiamo tre leggende,per una canzone molto bella!🥰😍😍😍😍💘💕💕💕💕💕💯💯💯

Excellent. Love them both.

Love this. I was a bit afraid Toby would lose his chewing gum, though.
I'm a big Grateful Dead fan but this rocks big time.
