oh god, this is from a tribute show for Elvis, Roy Orbinson performed also.i think it's in 1981. i have it on beta tape, dont have the video machine anymore. thanks for sharing man :)
See, if somebody told me they were gonna do I boogie woogie version of 'Me and Bobby McGee' I would have said, 'it won't work.' But the Killer makes it work.
You kinda get the idea when he sings "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" he knows what he's talking about. He can take any song , classic songs and make a version that's as good or better.
Classic. I remember 2 classic versions of the song on 8 track tape in 1972. Janis Joplins from her last album Pearl and Jerry Lee Lewis from his album the Killer Rocks On which also feautered another big hit of his on it Chantilly Lace.
He does this song so good, and this version is just wonderfull. You can tell that he is completely focused and want to nail this this perfomance perfect.
This is what we want, the whole song. Good to see this again. Not from 1980, this is from an Elvis Special taped January 8, 1978. Numerous artists appeared to honor Elvis.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Although he has an amazingly bad voice, Kris Kristofferson's original version is one of the best.

A classic version!
Incidentally, although it was broadcast on 8th January 1978, it was actually taped on December 18th 1977.
