Waylon Jennings: Honky Tonk Heroes - Live

[gareof]

Have a good time ... let's get the hell outta here ....

[mrdalejrfan883]

Waylon is the MAN

[thepoplar3]

a genuine legend ,his music still sounds so modern today.

[tyrusvirus1]

Country music died with Waylon

[GodoftheHanged]

Waylon Jennings is so badass Luke Skywalker backs him up on acoustic guitar (seriously, check out the guy to Waylon's left)

[cwho24]

Man I sure miss Waylon.... nobody's making any music like this anymore. I hate to be a downer but someday Willie and Merle will be joining him. Who's gonna fill their shoes??

[grampamurdoc]

The Outlaws, Hank Jr., Merle, George Jones, George Straight are the best.

[Schimmel1972]

WJ is the wallet with BAD MF stamped on it.

[rookieangel88]

everyone's sound in the 70s had its own unique style to it especially Waylon's, now all the shit on the radio sounds the same.

[caciowa]

this was mid-70s Waylon. my friend Larry Whitmore is the guy playing 12-string to Waylon's left...

[onebaud]

Billy Joe Shaver wrote it but Waylon Wails it better.

[heymama1]

I think this is the best country song ever written. (Billy Joe Shaver wrote it).

[drrex41591]

thats some toe tappin music hoss

[waylonfan01]

Ol Waylon and Moon in their prime doin it like only they can God Bless em

[GirlGeorgeTVshow]

BILLY JOE SHAVER WROTE THIS SONG.

[captaincrowband]

The BEST!

[mnvette81]

When country gets popular the quality goes to hell and it is hard to tell it from pop. These days you have to be a pretty face and nothing more to be a hit. Waylon, Willie , Merle and Johnny Cash wouldn't have a prayer starting out today and that is a crime.

[johnwaynejohnson]

what has happen to country

[beautifulsarah100]

Waylon was one of the last of the real men's men. This fucking shit passing for country today is bullshit. And obviously 2 people who listen to that shit came here and gave this REAL song a dislike.

[hounf6]

oh how i wish country was still like this the only hope now is Jamey johnson but knowing nashville he will be to country for them and just like waylon they will push him away

[sanQ]

Hell yeah!

[rich103987654]

This was the tail end of the 60's. He was great and was living the spirit of the time.

Their was a lot of good music then. We called this country rock.

[lerokiya]

Today's country stars can't make this kind of music because their originality is quickly sucked out of them. Waylon, Cash, George wouldn't even get on the airwaves today because of our fricken American idol, instant pop sensation approach to music. until something happens, these old songs like Waylons' will keep us going.. long live waylon!

[thielealex]

wow...

[WaylonForever]

How come conutry music singers can't make music like this today? That would be to simple. Everyone that listens to country needs to listen to a Waylon song. Makes Taylor Swift look like she is making a fool of her self!! You will never be forgotten Waylon

[1963legion]

I sat next to Waylon at the slot machines in the Riverside Casino in Laughlin Nevada. He was drunker than Cootie Brown. Cool as hell.

[mwalker97]

@1963legion he might have been high, but he wasn't drunk. Waylon didn't drink.  His vice of choice back in the day was cocaine and pills.

[sanQ]

@1963legion  When was that?

[393523]

@1963legion how long ago was that?

[1963legion]

@1963legion it was in 1984 I think

[anothamustangman]

Waylon, my icon

[zhaneXVI]

i can nail this song also...i love singing this song...always

[Nightrain76]

Agreed. One of the best covers of all-time. This is an anthem of an awesome genre of music.

[TheJoelef]

all i ahve to say is this is some badass shit. I would loved to get shitfaced with Waylon.

[teeger66]

He was the original HonkyTonk Hero!

No one else could ever sound that good...or look that good either!

[ChristRulz14]

Thank you so much recklesscharlie!!! I was too young to see Waylon and Willie during the early to mid 70's, but I remember my mom and Dad listening to their music along with my all-time favorite, Merle Haggard. The three I mentioned along with Johnny, Hank, Jr., George Jones, Loretta, Dolly, gosh I could keep going ... this was REAL country!!! Thank you and have a very Blessed week!!!

[gkc1121]

Love it!!!!gkc

[jmorejennings]

Hoss is the boss need i say more

[40324]

Waylon Jennings and Ralph Mooney, the best singer and the best steel guitar player ever!!!!!! Soooooooo Gooooood!!!

[lowdownfreedom]

Its just a DVD called Nashville Rebel by itself, seperate from th boxset, but that boxset has some great old tracks on it.

[lowdownfreedom]

This is on the Nashville Rebel DVD.

[gringoflamenco]

Thanks recklesscharlie, this is the real deal. I can't stand the corporate country that is around today. Waylon, Willie, Johnny, Hank Sr., Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys are some of my all time favs

[heymama1]

Billy Joe Shaver wrote this. I saw Billy Joe sing it live many a time. Waylon nails it. One of the best country songs ever in my opinion.

[xxtemuxinxx]

@heymama1 : amen; one of the best covers in all of popular music. ranks right up there with patsy cline's cover of willie nelson's "crazy" and aretha franklin's cover of otis redding's "respect". and many, many others. (imo, it's no mean feat to add to the writer's work with your interpretation of it.)

[skeetabix36]

Wow!! Does anyone know whether this concert is available to buy on dvd. 5+

[allen78704]

I was lucky enough to watch Billy Joe Shave do this song in Fort Worth last night....

[swainrich]

wish we could get rid of that last half star. this video deserves 5+!!

Thank you for it and for your other awesome Waylon videos!

[oriantoo]

Pure genius.

Nuff said ! Except

Luv you Waylon

[Meroniuk]

everytime he plays this song it sounds just as good as both of his recordings that he made of this song

[kackymarie]

Not too many better than Waylon! Love him and God love him.

[breaulenny]

I just love Waylon.. His Honky tonk Heroes album , just gets better with the time..they sure do not play like this anymore.

[recklesscharlie]

No they surely don't - Country music today (at least the stuff coming out of Nashville and what get's played on the radio) is a bunch of pansy ass pop that hasn't got any guts or soul.

Thanks for watching!

[breaulenny]

Hey you say it just like I use to say " the stuff today hasn´t got any guts" Waylon had guts, and soul. There is simply not room for someone like him any more,,"where does a slov mowing, onse quick draw outlaw got to go"

sorry for my bad spelling inglish:o)

[xxtemuxinxx]

@recklesscharlie : course, the over-produced shit nashville was churning out in the 1970s was the impetus behind the "outlaw" movement. so, in that sense, we have the execs to thank for BJS, willie, and waylon -- and their would-be successors (e.g., travis tritt of the early 1990s.)

[nordyke1]

@recklesscharlie Yea, I wouldnt call that country. And Im 18

[eclecticsteph]

@recklesscharlie Agreed excluding George Straight and Dwight Yoakum.  aj
