One advantage to my being old - nothing better than seeing Waylon up front, and Ralph Mooney on the steel! My husband and I met on a blind date to a Waylon concert in 1977
Why all the drug bashing? Yes, this was Waylon's drug years and he never denied it. ( read his book!) He was a coke head and then with Jesse's help he beat it and stayed clean. This was just part of his journey, be a little more tolerant you nozzles!
He looked so ill and kinda sad here, but the voice and feelings were still there. Dunno what he took, what he did, don't care. He was just one the greatest -ever.
This video says 18 years ago. If it was truly 18 years ago then Waylon would have been fighting his diabetes diagnosis. It would have been 4 years at that point til his death. I’m sure he was going through a lot knowing his chances of survival were slim
Best Country Voice of all time...even when he was suffering intense physical pain..he could still sing. May be gone, but his songs will always be around.
I can not believe that anyone could not like Waylon he was one of the best there was, I miss his music and the Highwaymen, the ones that don't like him can go where it don't snow, and they can't say they are country music lovers. Love his music and always will,
Waylon was a living legend .! ....he is still a legend ! ....no country singer ever put as much feeling and heart felt soul into his singing ...period...stress , creates the sweat,blood ,and tears that he put into every single performance ....tell me , that you can't feel that karma ? .....stage presence, etc.etc. ....it don't get no better than Waylon. !
I read Waylon's autobiography. It made me respect the man. I love his music and cannot get enough of it. His Christmas music is beautiful, too. Waylon was one of a kind and absolutely brilliant on stage. Our loss is heaven's gain. If anybody throws up his past, just remember when God forgives, He forgets.
Also he is wearing his "shooter" necklace so he may have been clean here, after he got clean it took about two years for him to look like the older healthier Waylon. Check out his 80's interview, he was off drugs but was still healing so he looked tired. Again give the guy a break!
I have found through life that I pick my favorite stars using a very simple formula. If you can hear them on the radio and distinguish them from anyone else with no exceptions, then you have a star!! Waylon, Johnny, Elvis,Roy Orbison etc........ God Bless them all!
When i was a kid i use to dress like him ,walk like him,,talked like him...he was my music super hero ya might say...Waylon Jennings Was What COOL Looked Like IN COLOR..i believe his outlaw country movment he started when he left nashville bled on to be southern rock .when he left nashville they laughed at waylon told him he would never make it without the music estab....his 1st album went gold platnum being the only country album to ever go plat..30 yrs later they inducted him into HALL OF FAME
Waylon was still on drugs at this time. His eyes look funny and he messes up the verse a time or two, but it doesn't matter none, he was great and I miss him.
Waylon had very nice and manly voice,I have been listening to him in recent past,I first heard him ,when I heard Highwayman live in Las Vegas,I also like Johnny Cash,all are just Fantastic!😃
I've got an old concert program from Waylon's show - with the picture of he and the band from behind, and the words I've seen the world with a five piece band looking at the back side of me ... it's pretty awesome. The country music world here in the US gets on my last ner
I'm 32 and been a fan of Waylon since I was a little girl. Waylon is my favorite country singer. This song is just one of my favorites of his. I play guitar but nothing like the way Waylon could. He could make a guitar sing. He had a unique sound and style. I wish I could have seen him in concert and meet him. My heart is heavy because we lost him much too soon.
I totally agree with all the glowing comments on Waylon. He had it all. Fabulous singer, songwriter, and one hell of a guitar player. My brother and I covered alot of Wayons stuff back in the late 70's, early 80's. His songs are great and nobody does 'em like Wayon.
waylon was just himself i think, he was real, his music, his style.. under some influence or whatever,, doesnt change much.. enough power and personality , abilitys (great guitar player).. not trying to be someone else,, thats him raw and uncutt,, therefore real.. thesedays mostly showoffs.. clowns in a circus... love his music.. best stuff ever !!
Alright, he had some problems for years. So did most of his cohort. He did not have a 20k habit for a long time. I saw him last about 10 years ago and I can assure you that he was clean. He's an amazing man. His music is powerful and brilliant. He lived hard.
My dad said that the only shure thing in life is that you will find idiots everywhere! People who dont see the brilliance of this music are sadly missing out on what was the beginning of both pure rock and later on metal etc...if these guys hadnt laid the bricks,the building would never have been completed...still hasnt in my eyes!
Hi - we saw Waylon probably 5 or 6 times over the years. Had tickets to see him right before he got sick - he canceled two days before the concert in Wheeling, WV, and never came back around again. I remember the day he passed away; I woke up to go to work, and turned the news on, and the story came on. Felt so incredibly sad.
pacat ca vocile bune mor tinere, de la mii de km il ascult cu placere de cate ori pot, mi-ar fi placut sa-l ascul si cind traia, dar distanta a fost prea mare...minunata muzica!
I love all kinds of music from all over the world, but I don't think I've ever spent a whole day just listening to one man sing. I've done it twice, and both times it was Waylon.
About the comments of his drug addiction...he did get clean and continiude to record.I did read this in a biography.Ppl like that Waylon,Cash etc are an inspiration for this recovering drug addict to stay clean. :-) Y'all have a nice day
Waylon's like good whiskey. Take it straight and you either like it or not. No frills just talent, guts and damn good looks { I ain't, but if I was he'd have had to get a restraining order :) } John Doe; according to Waylon, when he quit he was spending $1500.00 a day on coke, and had been on coke for 21 years. At that time coke was about $100.00 a gram, but when you buy pounds it gets cheaper, but bottom line, the man had the constitution of an elephant just to survive. Hence the name Waymore.
Waylon had very nice and manly voice,I have been listening to him in recent past,I first heard him ,when I heard Highwayman live in Las Vegas,I also like Johnny Cash,all are just Fantastic!😃
Love that guitar licking there from midway to the end. Sounds like some background music from one of my favorite TV shows he was the narrator in....can you only guess what it was? LOL ...my username should be a hint.
We all know about his voice and songwriting skills,but this one really shows off his great guitar rhythm .real cool ! See the Waylon Portrait guitar at jimmybusk dot com . Rip Waylon
just want to say waylon jennings is in a league all by himself,and as far as the drugs,his music could stand on its own,if noone cares about the drugs hes done but just his music then stop commenting about it,talk and comment on his music and the change he brought to country music,
One advantage to my being old - nothing better than seeing Waylon up front, and Ralph Mooney on the steel! My husband and I met on a blind date to a Waylon concert in 1977
2024, he's been gone 22 years, still interested in details of his life and still listening to his music. It never gets old.
❤=w=❤
Me too here in Ireland ☘️
Seems like he just left us. How time flys. 22 years.
I listen to Waylon every day
This is true Country music, unlike this bullshit today. Thanks for posting!
Why all the drug bashing? Yes, this was Waylon's drug years and he never denied it. ( read his book!) He was a coke head and then with Jesse's help he beat it and stayed clean. This was just part of his journey, be a little more tolerant you nozzles!
Tommy Petersen what year was this??
He looked so ill and kinda sad here, but the voice and feelings were still there. Dunno what he took, what he did, don't care. He was just one the greatest -ever.
In reading his autobiograhy and the time line old hoss just got sober from his long time cocaine habit .

Waylon Jennings...sings from the heart, sings LIFE, real feelings in all of us. He will always be the legend of country music.
He did better versions of this, but even when he was at his worst he was still miles better than any one recording now.
Really wish I could've went to one of his concerts this guy had some awesome songs!
Waylon: "I wrote this song 5 years ago...6 years ago! Don't remember which wife it was about..."......Waylon was the greatest!!!!!!
Best lead fills you'll ever hear in real country and western music.
I read Waylon's autobiography. It made me respect the man. I love his music and cannot get enough of it. His Christmas music is beautiful, too. Waylon was one of a kind and absolutely brilliant on stage. Our loss is heaven's gain. If anybody throws up his past, just remember when God forgives, He forgets.
One of the best Waylon songs. Tellin' it like it is!
Also he is wearing his "shooter" necklace so he may have been clean here, after he got clean it took about two years for him to look like the older healthier Waylon. Check out his 80's interview, he was off drugs but was still healing so he looked tired. Again give the guy a break!

no words to describe this song! waymore you are the best! cheers to all from austria
One of the best country songs ever made, fantastic voice!
Rest In Peace, Waylon.
I will smash a stool over any mans head in my bar for even whispering a bad Waylon vibe. Not in my Bar!
Who can make such a simple song so extraordinary? Waylon, Waylon Jennings.
my favorite singer of all time!!! hands down!!!
Waylon had very nice and manly voice,I have been listening to him in recent past,I first heard him ,when I heard Highwayman live in Las Vegas,I also like Johnny Cash,all are just Fantastic!😃

This music comes straight from the soul man...Waylon forever in my mind and my ears....
waylon was just himself i think, he was real, his music, his style.. under some influence or whatever,, doesnt change much.. enough power and personality , abilitys (great guitar player).. not trying to be someone else,, thats him raw and uncutt,, therefore real.. thesedays mostly showoffs.. clowns in a circus... love his music.. best stuff ever !!
26 dislikes!?!?! them people are crazy! waylon is the best country singer there was!
Nothing like Waylons guitar picking!!
Alright, he had some problems for years. So did most of his cohort. He did not have a 20k habit for a long time. I saw him last about 10 years ago and I can assure you that he was clean. He's an amazing man. His music is powerful and brilliant. He lived hard.

My goodness, this is good! I bet I've watched this 100 times
I met Waylon many years ago he was a real person but he did love to party!!
its hard for me to listen to his music without sprouting a tear....you will "ALWAYS BE AROUND", waylon. You are a true legend!!
31 people have thumbs that don't work right..
his solo on the end of that song on the live cd gives me chills
Waylon is the man I would have loved to spend my whole life with. Addicted to him.
Hi - we saw Waylon probably 5 or 6 times over the years. Had tickets to see him right before he got sick - he canceled two days before the concert in Wheeling, WV, and never came back around again. I remember the day he passed away; I woke up to go to work, and turned the news on, and the story came on. Felt so incredibly sad.
Beautiful song indeed, so much meaning and insight!
I'm more of a Gordon Lightfoot kind of guy but how can you not adore Waylon? ;-)
pacat ca vocile bune mor tinere, de la mii de km il ascult cu placere de cate ori pot, mi-ar fi placut sa-l ascul si cind traia, dar distanta a fost prea mare...minunata muzica!
Really love this song, love all the guitar fills from the second guitar in this live version.
RIP Waylon your music will never be forgotten in my home [>
17 dislikes, are you KIDDING me? Who are they, Jason Bieber fans who accidentally stumbled onto videos of a real musician and got scared?
I love all kinds of music from all over the world, but I don't think I've ever spent a whole day just listening to one man sing. I've done it twice, and both times it was Waylon.
One of the greatest along with Cash and Haggard
About the comments of his drug addiction...he did get clean and continiude to record.I did read this in a biography.Ppl like that Waylon,Cash etc are an inspiration for this recovering drug addict to stay clean. :-) Y'all have a nice day
One of the best voices in music and not a bad picker either
Waylon's like good whiskey. Take it straight and you either like it or not.

Love Waylon Jennings. RIP
man i love ol waylon wish i could have seen him play
waylon showed us how to party and how to love good music
Amazing. I love the drummer's 80's shirt. The lead guitarist's fills are heavenly.
@MrThomps99 yes he is, # 2 is Elvis, # 3 Clapton, # 4 John Lee Hooker, & Bob Seger # 5
The guy was Great! Even fucked up better than the shit music today.
quit posting about the dislikes. its obviously finger farts, its just over 1% and the buttons are right next to eachother. figure it out.
Jennings,Jones,Haggard,Nelson,Cash,Hank jr.......Man who will fill their shoes?
Waylon you will always be GREAT>>>>>
probably bieber/minaj "fans" who have LOTS of growing up to do......hopefully it`ll happen sooner rather than later
waylon you are missed RIP .. No one can ever replace you Waylon
He was a fantastic singer and storyteller!
i think 17 people need round house kicked in the face by chuck norris. if ya dont like it dont watch it!!!!
Waylon had very nice and manly voice,I have been listening to him in recent past,I first heard him ,when I heard Highwayman live in Las Vegas,I also like Johnny Cash,all are just Fantastic!😃
Great song! One of my faves (of course, the list of faves is pretty long). Thanks a bunch for sharing this (and any Waylon concert footage).
right on brothers! he lived what he wrote and wrote what he lived!
Love you Dad.xxxxxx
One of the many country artists that lived it, sang bout, strummed it, made us happy. UA-cam is great to hear the legends.
who were the 17 who hit dislike by mistake?
Very underrated guitar player, too
This is Great do you hear me absolutely great!
I think the ppl who voted this down are probably from the local deaf school
Now this is COUNTRY music,period!
The first time i heard this song - years and years and years ago - it gave me chills (in a good way). Still does.
The greatest singer that ever lived.
This is a REAL, REAL MAN, not some whimp!
He was the king of cool in country - no doubt about it...great timing, great voice, great guitar sound, great personality
Listen, up, this time could be the last time.
Love that guitar licking there from midway to the end. Sounds like some background music from one of my favorite TV shows he was the narrator in....can you only guess what it was? LOL ...my username should be a hint.
Just goes to show we all don't need to know how to sing.
Maaan, one of my faves of his. Hands down my fave singer ♥️
@bigrider2806
How'd that work out for you partner?
21 dumbells, that's for sure
The master at work ! fantastic...5***** Mike
Four marriages. He lived the song.
i'm with LEON!! let's russle up some dislikers!!
What a legend. I'll have drink for him tonight.
My sister was lucky & old enough to see Waylon in concert not me :(
saw him in the mid 90's in Greenville, SC at the Peace center, it was a great concert
F*ckn miss this guy!!! LUV U Waylon, miss u!!!
17 People think Justin Bieber sings music...
We all know about his voice and songwriting skills,but this one really shows off his great guitar rhythm .real cool ! See the Waylon Portrait guitar at jimmybusk dot com . Rip Waylon
