[LiberadioPro]

aint the last line "i think i might get high just one more day"??

[ATSF1927]

I've been to the Ryman in the summer of 1950 and it was hot in this building, but the entertainment was awesome. Bill is right I remember the Opry Radio Show when Hank was there, he brought the roof down.

[dioofotaku]

wow...so so so so long ago...thank god he didnt sell out

[hrminer92]

RIP FiddleBoy :(



[VINTAGEQUEEN54]

I wish he would run for President...

[opryman65]

Thats one of my best friends in the world Kayton Roberts playing steel for Hank Williams III on this Opry segment - the best steel player int he world as far as non-pedal steel players go IMHO. :-)

[cherryonion]

i bet he could top 7 encores except he plays for 3 hours straight!

[RHMETAL]

I Don't Know is one of my favorite songs from III! It sounds like something Waylon Jennings would do, to me. Love that song! For anybody watching this vid that's never heard of him, you can find his stuff in music stores like Hastings and F.Y.E. I recommend the album Straight To Hell. It's my favorite album of his!

[clear4push]

Can anyone tell me who the steel player is, I think I saw him on the WWVA with Marvin Rainwater. Whoever he is, he has amaizing feel. Hank Sr is proud of his legacy.

@clear4push Kayton Roberts

Hes been around forever....

He's also doing a weekly show with Rob McNurlin in my area on Saturday robmcnurlin com

[iltdwngtd]

@japierce15 Andy Gibson was a student of Kayton Roberts....he taught him what he needed to know to jump in there and take over in 2002..

Hank never encored on the Opry. The legendary 7 encores took place during Hank's last performance on the Louisiana Hayride on June 3 1949.

@jpeanrkode

I was thinking that till I saw your comment Brother Jake. Now I know I ain't crazy

[bofeces1]

@Alabamaredneck you're still crazy bama

[Alabamaredneck]

@bofeces1 a certain degree of crazy just keeps me from going insane!

[filthyfun]

[TheMiamifuentes]

The Best .

[luvkershaw]

I saw him when he toured with his Dad back in the late 70's in Atlanta @ The Fox Theater, He was just a young kid then.

[proudwhitetrash1]

[Jenaric95]

[BurningMartyrCarcass]

Is that John Conlee introducing III?

[JohnLeePedimore]

@BurningMartyrCarcass

Yes it is,minus his rose colored glasses.

[laslos3]

lol "might get by"

[PAULIEV73]

ONE OF HIS OLDER TUNES STILL VERY EXCELLENT!!

[DetJohnKimbel]

hank 3 is the fucking man

[skinnyp98]

The talent in the Williams family definitely skipped a generation and went to this guy.

[bofeces1]

@skinnyp98 IDK jr. had his moments as well

[Sauerkrautification]

@bofeces1 Jr reminds me too much of Audrey.

[MrFun2see]

@bofeces1 yea, the football commercial and song

[Jaybird8761014]

@bofeces1 Yeah 3's daddy got a free pass and used it to the max

[atifirepro1]

@bofeces1 Bullshit. No comparison.

[kurtbuschfan1]

awesome clip now thats country music

[pittresident]

It is downright scary at how much he sounds and looks like his grandpa, Hank Williams. It's as if Hank Williams came back to us again. Great performance.

[cuntrytrash]

Classic!

[sbflash311]

This is real country music. It's a shame you can't hear any of Hank 3's records on any so-called country music station.

[widener25]

@sbflash311 Hank wouldn't want that even if they would.

[TheMiamifuentes]

@sbflash311 it is

[greeneyedsteamengine]

Wow, great clip, thanks for posting this.

[repohellbilly]
