  • LOVE IT 

  • Hard to beat, the best version by a country mile. Go Willie !!!!

  • when willie dies so will country

  • the 7 people that dislike this have never been with or loved a REAL woman

  • @75bubbakushie  I agree!

  • This was in Willie's Stardust album. nobody can do this like Willie. no body.......

  • Absolutely beautiful! xxxxxx

  • Elvis version is the best in the world, nobody sing a love songh like him... but Willie is not bad at all!!!

  • If y'all wanna argue, then why don't y'all take it elsewhere so that we can enjoy this song without reading you guys hack at eachother?

  • news flash! no one cares how old you are you arent impressing anyone by being 12 and liking willie nelson.....just listen to the freaking song and enjoy

  • @itsakadoozy95 Chill out man. Don't make me get Dergin on you.

  • snapadoodle

  • awesome...i like slipknot,5 finger death punch and him,hows that for ya.

  • the thing so great about willie as described by my dad, now i realize, is that the music leads the music, his voice is the beautiful instrument that follows and pushes the tune. willie you are amazing, words cannot describe..

  • love that song always

  • HEY ! Where is Jessie Colter ?

  • Can you just imagine having been in the audience to witness 4 legends such as these? How cool would that have been?

  • Comment removed

  • i love this music, i listen to modern country but no one is is like the highwaymen,THEY WERE LEGEND, and still are even though some of them arent with us god bless all of them

  • all four of these guys helped make country music what it is today if it was not for them none of these new country artists would of had any insperation and i would love to smoke pot with willie any day R.I.P waylon and johnny you will never be forgotten.

  • how can you not like this song. get you lighters up ppl.... or i guess it would be cell phones

  • I love tihs song and I love the band!

  • absolutely love the highway mean & willie nelson. he has got an amazing voice. & his version of this song, it seems so much more meaningful compared to elvis. i also love johnny cash. his songs are also amazing. but the other two fella's, waylon jennings & kris kristofferson, ive never heard other musicof theirs, but they have got amazing voices aswell :] love the highwaymen ! <3

  • With the song I receive a goose-skin

  • Elvis is great but lets face it it's Willies song

  • This is not my usual type of music - but I love good music in all its shape an form - so this concert blows me away. I'd love to have been there!!!

  • were we not blessed to be allowed the gift of these 4 great talents? The Highwaymen were not about the money. It was about the music, the friendships and their love for one another. Respect. And that' s what is missing today. Todays country is a mess. Only one that really knows what direction to go in and stay true is George Straight. To the 4 Highwaymen. Thank you so very much.

  • I don't like comparing music, but with Willie singing this song, man....

    It is the first time I've ever heard an Elvis recording being knocked right out of the water.

  • depresseing

  • Willie is one cool old dude

  • @Skreggie44

    fer sure! hahaha

  • I hate this song... I always say it is "I treated you like sheet, but ""You were always on my mind"" ......Just my opinion,

  • Four excellent songwriters. Some of the most poignant music ever penned in our Country.

  • @whangpanger Damned straight, my friend!

  • A timeless classic!

  • cant believe the sound that comes out of that beat down guitar. one of the greatest performers period. these new acts cant come close to doing what these men did live.

  • you guys are always on my mind!!!

  • With Elvis you always thought about him and Priscilla. With Willie he's on his own and knocks it out of the park.

  • Elvis definately did it better.

  • Wow this is a very fabulous and superb awesome performance by Mr. Willie Nelson, what a passion and emotion rendered or shown!!! Willie Nelson.. you know, you are always on my mid....

  • Willie sings this with such passion.

  • absolutne dokonale...

  • Fabulous. He can make that guitar dance.

  • AMEN EPIC EPIC

  • Fucking epic.....'nough said

  • elvis version is fine,but willie´s ... you van hear his heart if you know what I mean..i like it more...like him more <3

  • @TShania sorry clicked the wrong button, I agree with you

  • @TShania

    o guess you never heard the 77 verrsions by elvis, a man who has lost control of his life completely, pretty fat, on drugs, sweaty, but the voice, the voice never leaved him, those last shows really are like opera, seeing that voice coming from the man who once was a teen sex idol.

  • @OropherThranduil

    not objection answer ... :) nothing wrong about Elvis was said and I´m absolutely sure I´ve heard...

  • @OropherThranduil That is exactly the difference; Willie sings it like the lyrics really mean something to him, it's an intimate song. Elvis sung it like opera, which doesn't suit the song, and the only thing that was on his mind was his next dose of pills and lots of food. Not people he loved.

  • @MLFive

    What do YOU know what was on Elvis mind?

    he wasn't a 80s glam metal artists who only thoguht about drugs and getting bitches.

    and when he recorded it in early 72 he wasn't much into drugs and all the shit he later get on.

    Hre purs his soul into the song.

    and elvis soul was grand as an opera.

  • @OropherThranduil Just as much as YOU know what was on his mind. You sound like a completely smitten schoolgirl... Elvis was just a man, with an ordinary soul.

  • @MLFive

    i guess reading what close assocaites of him, like his wife, his friends, his parents said about him and his last year is some kind of knowing more than you about it.

  • amen, huck.

  • i like the version from elvis but this is the best

    AMAZING

  • All my love!

  • Muito linda esta musica, no Brasil ouvimos muito a versão com Bee Gees, nos anos 80, saudade das festinhas de fim-de-semana!!! Slasheri obrigado pela postagem, nos traz maravilhosas recordações! Congratulations!

  • Thank You For The Words.

  • idgive you a hundred chances...and you know who you are..

  • im 14 love this guys musik n im more of a g lol

  • Listen closely children

  • hard to say... actually I think Elvis' version is the better one, but Willie's is awesome as well and very unique...

  • really hard to choose. willi's version seems to have more of him in it

  • Many thanks Willie, we love you also in Germany, even if the song is not an original of you. Thanks to !

  • It is, he wrote it.

  • He didn't write but I love him anyway. And I like his version better than Elvis

  • You're both wrong. It was collaboratively written by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson Thompson. The first known recorded performance was by Brenda Lee in June of 1972. Elvis didn't do it until 5 months after that, and Willie didn't do it until 10 years later.

  • Ok.. why, when you click reply on the message you're replying to, does it put the comment at the top of the list, instead of adding it to the thread? What am I doing wrong?

  • Country music doesn't get any better than Outlaw Country, and the Highwaymen personified and shaped it. It's a shame I didn't get to see them all together...

  • willie didnt sing, he talked to you. country aint country no more thats for sure

  • What DVD is this from?

  • l love Willie,opps l could have put that better,well you know what l mean.

  • And RIP Waylon Jennings

  • this song is for you ande, my sunshine, my love! i thank u for showing real feelings ... i never knew that i can have this for a person... you are great and i would do all 4 you! thx for all and RIP MR. CASH!!! WE NEVER FORGET YOU!

  • this song is for you anji down mills

  • Slash..what are you saying? Kris is one of the greatest songwriters that ever was. He might not be the best singer, but then again, Johnny wasn't either. They were all great friends and respected each other for their individual contributions to the group. I for one wish I could have seen all 4 of them together!

  • you and me both my friend

  • I don't think that Kristofferson is better than Merle Haggard or George Jones as a solo artist, but his voice complements the others here perfectly and he is obviously an amazing songwriter. He's like the Bob Dylan of country music in that he's a genius songwriter but other people perform his songs better than he does

  • I met willie in glasgow in may and it was the best day of my life!

  • I had the gift of seeing the Highwaymen in Honolulu, in either 1994 or 95;foggy on dates. It was another milestone to my life; in attendance of four champions. Ive still got a hard-board print of the concert billing hanging on my wall.

  • great willie is a great singer in his own way

    another great songer writer 2.

    love this version of this song..

  • brilliant

  • Me too.

  • me too

  • Me too

  • sometimes I cry

  • hey,does anyone know where and what year this concert is?

  • I think it was the early 90's.

  • Is there anywhere one can buy a cd or something from this particular concert?? Please send me an e-mail or message!

    Thanks.

  • i bought it.

    great concert. I just ordered it at a local recordshop. they had it 3 days after i ordered it.

  • well as a well can be deep he plays it just the same

  • i love song !!buy ELVIS great !! I see willie to night in PARIS FRANCE!!!!

  • willie takes the lead

  • Willie = Country

  • bloody wonderfull!!!!

  • this is just beautiful

  • willie has such a beautiful voice

  • willie sings wonderful this song +++++

  • One of my favorite songs, have to give credit to the writer Mr Nelson who always seems to deliver an "authentic" performance. Elvis did a great performance of this song also, letting out those guilty feelings about Priscilla.

  • willie nelson didnt write this song. although he is the best at performing it in my opinion!!

  • Right you are, guess I was thinking of "Funny How Time Slips Away". I have an early seventies Kristofferson concert on disc with Willie performing a couple songs including that one and he stole the show.

  • Willie was Willie. Waylon was Waylon. Johnny was Johnny. Cris was Cris. Elvis was Elvis. Don't take anything away from the greats.

  • i agree, you just have to accept the fact that you are seeing 4 of the greatest singer song-writers in the world, thats a fact,

  • exactly

  • Willie is the best..

  • this is one of my favorites......always has been.....especially Willie singing it....

  • one of the best songs ever

    Its almost as good as Elvis Presleys Version.

  • Better!

    Elvis was, at least to me, always a bit of an artificial production. Willie is a Mensch.

  • no Elvis was singing like water and with much more feeling. Me as a,Willie Nelson fan to, have to say Elvis is the best.

  • VolkerStockel: have to agree with the others on Willie's version..because HE wrote it! A song is always going to have more soul coming from its writer. Elvis had a great voice, could 'sell' a song, but he didn't write them. The Highwaymen were/are all singer-songwriters as well as musicians, so it didn't matter that their voices weren't 'perfect'..they were singing from the heart.

  • I once saw the Highwaymen in concert in Frankfurt, Germany and it was one of the best perfomances I ever saw.

    So Elvis was not a great songwriter, but my opinion he had a better voice than all Highwaymen combined.

    He sang songs from is heart to and put soul into it. There is no one of them 4 Highwaymen who did not accept that Elvis was the King in music.

  • king of rock ang roll

  • Elvis is the King of Music. So many >Country, Blues, Ballads, Hymnes,Gosbelmusic to be only the King of Rock`n`Roll

  • it was willies version before the king's.

  • It was Brenda Lee's before that. It's a testament to Willie that people don't remember that. It's not like she was a slouch.

  • its better ;-)

  • thank you ....this is it....forever

  • highwaymen 4ever

  • I can't stop playing this song! It says it all. Take things from this song to heart and express them to your loved ones.

    Willie forever!

  • It's always good to know that there are still people who have great taste in music. I love the Highwaymen and I totally adore this song from Willie. God bless them and may Johnny and Walon rest in peace. Keep up tod work

  • my favorite song of all time

  • Good ol' Willay

  • Fantastic video!

  • willie and this song are the greatest! nothing takes me back to my first love as much as this does!!!
