Another vote for making the entire performance available, so my kids can hear and see an inspiring performance that isn't rap. And hen many of us oldsters can't afford to go to the real thing anymore. Great song, wonderful sentiment communicated superbly
My heart...He feels it too or he couldn't move our hearts...<3 this song...One of his best and my all time favorite...Best recording of it on youtube...of what I've seen and heard...****
Great video he is and will always be up ther #1the best with Merle haggard thy are my legend heros of country along with Johnny cash I coverd this tune but no one does it better then Willie. years ago about 83 my best friend died and this tune realy helped me get through it . R.I.P Bobby L . Thanks For The Video. yours Truly MrToeKnee641
This is an awesome song by a legend. It is my favr. His guitar is a one of a kind. He ordered more but they never gave him the same sound. Thus, to this day he plays with the same guitar he started with. There is mo other like it or that can give this very distinctive sound.
It scares me to watch his fingers play the guitar! This guy leaps off of cliffs,my Pop wants me to cover this and I say if Rob is going to play lead i will try too,we are going to have ourselves a ball at the trailer shop working on it..
I lost my very best & dearest friend in a tragic automobile accident on June 17, 2010. This was her favorite song EVER! RIP Amy Jo Parris Alvarez. WE LOVE YOU LOVELY!!!
This is Willie Nelson . I had the opportunity to guide his bus to park at thr Four Seasons in Vancouver. He asked me if I could have a drink with him. i was humbled. He handed me his guitar and said play ..Thank God i knew how. Not like him ,of course but he smiled. I played a country song I wrote and i saw a tear in his eye. After all these years I wonder...do you ever buy new strings?
@1KoloheSista Your Dad has no clue: The lyrics are about a someone who he is love with who left him with a broken heart. Last I heard neither Willie or the Hells Angels were really hip to the whole Gay Sex thing!
Is he playing a flamenco guitar? It looks like nylon strings and doesn't sound like steel. Also the head looks like a flamenco guitar. Classic - this guy is a certified genius on the fretboard.
Ah, I figured it was a classical guitar (flamenco guitars share some similarities) since that head definitely won't handle the tension of steel strings. Makes me want to buy a classical body and slap on some gut strings :D.
@monster4josh Willie is a country master . Trigger , his guitar is his main guitar he has . Its been his main guitar for some 40 years . its a 1969 Martin Classical . I love that guitar . He is a great guitar player . Thats why Eric Clapton has him perform on his Cross Roads tour.
@soshimo It wasn't till I had the very great pleasure to see Willie in concert and be second row center, that I realized that the black shadow on his guitar was NOT a finger board, but a HOLE he had worn into the guitar and I believe that contributes to the distinctive sound of his music

My Dad told me long ago this song was about the "Hell's Angels." Something like that. One of our favorites.

And he's held it enough to WEAR A HOLE IN THE FACE!
That guitar has never gathered dust and will ultimately end up in The Smithsonian *friggin* Institue Museum of Natural Art! Can I get an 'Amen'?
