This is right before he got clean from coke. You can tell his voice worn out from all the years of hard living. Luckily he got clean and stayed clean the rest of his life and got his voice back. Much love and respect for Waylon
Just when I think I’ve heard them all, the mighty UA-cam delivers! Thank you OP for uploading this… I’ve hit the jackpot today on live Waylon. Time to turn it up! Have a super day if you’re reading this!
I have loved Waylon since I discovered him in 1982 I am now almost 76 He had the most beautiful smile and handsome too! Love his guitar picking! Dixie Lee Hendricks
John Jeffrey - Just a tiny correction! I don't think Waylon was ever truly a "session" man. I believe the only time he backed up anyone was when he played bass for Buddy Holly during that ill-fated Winter Dance party tour in 1959, but that was only because Holly & the Crickets were in the middle of some sort of dispute, and they had to back out of the tour almost at the last minute, so Holly had to find replacement musicians. Waylon & Buddy Holly were good friends, and Holly was mentoring Waylon, trying to help him get his career started. He thought enough of Waylon that, just prior to the deadly tour, Buddy had produced & payed for the recording session - even flying in tenor sax player King Curtis to contribute to the recording - that culminated in the production of Waylon's very first single, a nifty little song called "Jolie Blon." (It went nowhere, chart wise, but it was a start). When the Crickets backed out of the tour, Buddy came to Waylon to hire him as one of the Cricket replacements - just for that one tour. Buddy came by to see him, tossed him a bass guitar (an instrument Waylon had never played in his life) and told him to learn the songs to be played on the tour, which was to begin in just a few weeks. Waylon did learn the songs with remarkable speed, and a short time later, they all embarked on the Winter Dance Party tour of the frigid upper Midwest. To the best of my knowledge, that was the only time Waylon ever played backup for any other musician, except perhaps as a one-off favor. That's the way Waylon tells it in his autobiography and in various other places! I'm so glad you're a fan of Waylon Jennings' music! He was a unique & remarkable talent and a fascinating man.
More like the "Common Cocaine" bug. This show was about 10 months before he quit drugs for good. It's amazing how much and how fast he recovered his voice. By 1986 he was starting to sound like himself again. Remarkable guy!
Who was singing there ain’t no good chain gang with Waylon?? Kinda sounded like Merle Kilgore at times but I’m not sure! Him & Waylon sounded good together thgh! 🤠🤠
@@neverdoubtme6363 Do you mean you disagree? I am a huge Waylon fan. I just felt like 83 was when he was getting lots of voice issues. He talks about it in his audiobiography.
There were several albums during that period that were pretty rough. The worst was the Take It To The Limit. Cocane and 6 packs of cigarettes' had taken their toll. He said on stage he had a cold but if you listen to albums from then, the Dukes Of Hazzard narations from them and other concerts, you get a different story. Yes his voice was trashed, but waylon at his worst was still better than most at their best.
I never heard of ANY singer that was 100 percent on their game every time throughout their entire career. On his worst day Waylon was far better than most. Cheers!
I really believe that Waylon took such pride in his singing, he was a true interpreter of song, a troubadour, that he had to do something or he was going to lose his first love. He gave up the cocaine first and then the cigarettes and he did get most of his voice back.

I was wondering bout that.
Even sick he sounds better than anyone out here nowadays.
He does a lot of talking with that Guitar
Agreed ❤
I'm 64 and just discovering the greatness of Waylon
It's never too late!😁
We belong to that lucky generation who have really enjoyed great country music in our lives. RIP Waylon, who left this world too soon.
I love that this stuff is surfacing. I listen to every recording I can find for Waylon. Thank you.
Love all it
🍻
Could not have said it better!
“got my first guitar at fourteen I finally passed forty and still wearing jeans” -pure gold.
Don Williams Sang That Song 🎶 Too

Even when "Hoss" was ill he was so superior to any and all of these plastic hats that strut around today.

The Best singer ever WALON
He was suffering from something called " The Common Cold "
From the coke
More like the "Common Cocaine" bug. This show was about 10 months before he quit drugs for good. It's amazing how much and how fast he recovered his voice. By 1986 he was starting to sound like himself again. Remarkable guy!
What a great show...Thanks alot!
My hero!

Royston Stiver absolutely
Thank you Craig .
Thanks Craig... This is awesome!
Pansye Gibbs you're welcome
awesome thanks
Dan Jones you're very welcome
Sounds like they were having a good time.
The cocaine had completely depleted his voice. Glad he got clean and got his voice back.
I bet Waylon certainly enjoyed getting tanled up on good whiskey a d booze before his shows started gotta have something get going .
don't think he drank, at all.
@@cindyeaddy4886 you are correct. pills, cocaine and cigarettes. Never touched alcohol.
Someone canceled?? No show Jones😅
Who was singing there ain’t no good chain gang with Waylon?? Kinda sounded like Merle Kilgore at times but I’m not sure! Him & Waylon sounded good together thgh! 🤠🤠
Johnny cash ❤
superp
still great. but the coke and smokes were killing his voice by 83
I agree. I saw him in Germany in 83 and he sounded hoarse.
@marc cohen Wrong
