Kris Kristofferson performing "The Pilgrim" at the 2007 Ottawa Folk Festival. It was drizzling and near freezing and the man didn't once complain! In fact, he THANKED the fans for sticking around! What a class act!

  • Not the greatest recording I've heard but still very good.

  • I agree. It would have turned out much better had it not been so windy and cold. By this point in the show, I was shivering so bad that I could barely hold the camera. I actually dropped it half-way through "Me and Bobby McGee". I was soooo pissed.

  • The first time I heard Kris sing was like 15 years ago when they played the isle of wight concert(1970)on tv and he was heckled off the stage. Well those idiots didn't know what they were missing. Kris is a great song writer, thanks for posting this video

  • You're welcome! :)

    A friend of mine attended the Live 8 concert a few years back in Toronto. He was in line waiting to get a beer when he heard someone say "Boy, did he ever butcher Janis Joplin's song!!" LOL!

  • @CaroleSNewZealand When I was about 16 my mother said, "You should listen to Kris Kristopherson". At 41, she's completely correct.

  • Kris is my hero from my teenage years. I saw him live in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1974 (with Rita) and he was just wonderful. Such an amazing poet... I would love him to come back here.

  • @kenmackie Sorry, I didn't realize that we were going to talk about every other fucking singer in the world. Yes, Willie can sing. Bob sounds like a dying mule. Neil is just another shouter, but entertaining. Janis rocked. Waylon sounded like an angel. Rablin Jack Elliot was fun to listen to. Hank Sr, well, was Hank Sr. Hank Jr can freaking sing. Do I really need to mention them all, or can I just comment on Kris? I mean, since its a Kris video.....?

  • I think the weather and the rough quality of the recording fits the song. It reinforces the gritty nature of the pilgrim.

  • I hadn't heard this song in years . It came to mind and I'm glad I found it here. Kris was a real trouper , braving the elements as he did .

  • Kris is a class act & an all round good guy, my north star & that is why I call him my friend Areal Old fashioned Gentleman...

  • travis bickle ¡
