  • after my brother Randy Pettengill age 19 was killed by a drunk driver my dad listed to this song over & over, plus Why me.....I still great joy listen to them even after 39 yrs....

  • kinda hurt;s It is only friday yet the beer I had for breakfast worries me cause it only tastes like a teaser and last night was hell.Thanks anyhow Kris and you make all of us proud to be Americans evan with are flaws

  • Went to see Kris at the Johnny Cash Festival at the Ventura Fairgrounds not too long ago. Think I was one of the few oldies but goodies there. You felt like Kris was singing just to you. He is so gracious and personable.

  • Kriss hummmm Sunday morning comming down;

  • AMAZING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

  • totally great version--thanks...love Kris singing it...he owns it...soo classic

  • @weewill32 - I have loved this song for decades and never felt encouraged to get stoned - but I can nevertheless understand the feelings he describes and empathise with those in that situation. As for why he's still performing - because there are thousand upon thousands of us who love his voice and his music. I saw him on this tour at the Royal Albert Hall and it was a magical experience.

  • I have loved this song all of my life...well since 8 years old or so when I first heard it.... on the kitchen radio sung by Johnny Cash. I have always related to it and have walked some sleepy city Sunday sidewalks in my time.... and lonliness and beer and dirty shirts I have also known..

  • Flat out - The best songwriter ever.

  • following relious beliefs is like going to a theatre and sititting in the back row so u can be the 1st one out,

  • why is he still performing? Ok he is still good but I thought he was off the drink so why does he encourage the rest of us by this empathy?

  • Religion is for folks that dont want to go to hell; Kris is for folks that been there and dont wanna go back.

  • love his voice , so raw and real.

  • immortal song

  • Fantastic sound and one of the best "live" feels I've ever experienced!!!

  • Wonderful video-Thanks for sharing!!

  • ••♥❤(◠‿◠)❤♥••.♫♪♫•¸¸.•*¨*

  • "Ain't no good song ever came out of a glass of tea"..............Waylon Jennings.

  • damn, i live so close to the paradiso, and i missed this show.

    how stupid of me...

    sorry marybeth...kriswoman...

    liefs me

  • i went and saw charley pride and he payed the fella the greatest compliment i think one human being could give another. it went something like this . Charley said " kris went to harvard so not only is he the greatest song writter he knows he a clever prick as well"

  • Beer i had foe breakfast wasnt bad so i had one for dessert... Lyric's you have to live thru to write about... Classic Track...

  • anyone considered a real true friend by Johnny Cash has to be a damn good soul. and he loved Kris like a brother. i bet Kris will never get over the loss of big John. Love ya Kris.. keep doing what you do best. spreading your good spirit around this spiritually bankrupt place we call home.

  • YEP! if you know (and im sure you do) the way Kris got his songs to John.....they were KINDRED SPIRITS from then on IN

  • this guy fucking hates vampires

  • I love This song so much ! It´s a real classic and one of the best songs ever written !

  • Thanks for sharing this video

    Cheers from Belgium

    Eric - Studio ChinChan

  • What kind of camera is that?

  • Fab, and hes still so handsome, wearing better than me and im more than 20 years younger. First fell in love with him in A Star Is Born

  • This is the Paradiso in Amsterdam, 11th March '08. This guy was 71 when he did this performance and he's still touring regularly. Catch him if you can - you will never forget the wonderful intimacy of one of his concerts.

  • @setaoca We caught him in Tulsa Ok last night. He played for almost 2 hours . It was a great time and I will never forget it

  • Thank you so much for posting this!! I love the song--Kris makes you feel like that Sunday morning he's talking about. It sounds even more honest and human now than when he first wrote it.

    Beautiful...thank you!!!

  • Thanks so much jw58 for sharing this with us! Great quality video (which is hard to come by on here sometimes)

  • Still a beautiful man xxx

  • Rhodes Scholar, Army Captain. and a great songwriter. Check This Old Road......Thank You For A Life.

  • That was stunning.(-; (-;

    Kris, you a Legend!

  • class, pure class

  • yep

  • he's awesome...so soo talented...God gifted him..and he's shared it so well ..!!!!

  • among other things Kris has done..... he played opposite Barbra Striesand..... and that my friend is amazing, in A Star is Born... not to mention he wrote Me and Bobby McGee

  • If you don't get it...

    You don't need to know...

    Now Fuck Off...

  • No, it's better to watch e.g. Lady Gaga with her ass in nude, ain't it? Man, Kris is a legend, so fuck off...

  • Any friend of Blade is a friend of mine. Top class.

  • Kris is one of the best, and prolific country writers of the 'modern era'. Many singers have fed off of his great talents.

    His history is rather odd for a country writer/singer: he was a fighter-jet fighter in the Viet Nam days, and wanted OUT. Army told him he still owed a few years...he spent them as a math professor at West Point !

  • im splitting my sides here (-; funny As!!

  • Kris is truly one of the best

  • i was looking for that vid when i saw your post, it was perfect for the song

  • ...to bad the bastards took down the best video with this song,that black & white one with scenes of a city and a guy walking through it with Kris singing of course..why did they do that?..this is great of course,but that video said a a lot also,did anyone else see it?

  • I take it this guy wrote cash's song? Good stuff

  • This guy?... THIS GUY?! It's guys like Kristofferson, Billy Joe Shaver and Guy Clark that made Johnny Cash.

  • Amen brother! Billy Joe made Waylon Jennings...He admits too!

  • he gave a wonderful performance of this song on the elvis costello interview show on sundance network...in the background gently smiling was norah jones

  • and i´m wearing it!!! long live to Kris

  • Oh my God ! Let me wipe my eyes. Such a beautiful song. God bless this man.

  • I am a 25 year old and I love his music, as does my 17 year old little sister.

  • I'd give my right hand for having written something like this. Wonderful.

  • Thanks lots of times for this wonderful video, the sound and the photos, like being at his concerts.Absolutely the best.This was my first favourite, too,when I discovered Kris in -70.He has been "My Hero" ever since. I love him,all his lyrics,his powerful voice with lots of feelings.He makes me feel alive.

    Thanks to Kris and for this video.Wish more of this quality.Love Marie, Norway.

  • And I'm wearing it LOL

  • Kris and the song both are like a fine wine....aged to perfection! BRILLIANT!

  • I went to see him at the Apollo,in Manchester March 2008,for the first time.He was and still is a Legend.I wish I could have seen him about twenty years  ago though.Great performance even at 71 years old !.

  • Saw him in Sheffield, England. last night. He was just BRILLIANT.

  • kris - paradiso een onvergetelijke avond ben ontzettend er geweest te zijn

  • Overwhelming interpretation / performance. Thanks for sharing.

  • Thanks for posting this video. Kris is simply the best; and he is like a good wine: The older, the better! Do you have some other songs of this concert. Saw him last year twice: In Hörsching and in Vienna and I posted two videos from thos concerts.

  • Nothin' short of dyin'.....
