That was around the first time I seen Hank JR he can play 17 different instruments and in his Confederate Suit. Now people would be calling him all kinds of names but he is still the man. Musical Genius.
Yeah I saw Derrick Thomas on stage with Hank Jr and man could he sing.Nothing racist about Hank Jr and Derrick Thomas was one of his friends. RIP Derrick
The Jacket he is wearing is not Confederate. The cheap farby Kepi is. I've met all of them when I worked in Security Alarm, Camera, and access business. I will tell you this, great men and I know I will see them again in Heaven.
I've listened to Alabama, I've listened to Hank, but THIS, this is solid country gold!!! At 40 years of age I feel like I ha e no idea what a real concert should and could be! Had me smiling the whole time
Back when Hank and Alabama were arguably the biggest acts in country, in their prime. To damn bad I was 2 years old. Would’ve been so great to see this back in the day.
As the great-great-great grandson of a Confederate sergeant who fought and was wounded at both the Battle of Chickamauga and the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, as well as a Smoky Mountain hillbilly from Franklin, North Carolina like he was, I cannot describe in words how much I adore, advocate, and take pride in what I have just witnessed. God bless!
I’m as southern as one can get, a veteran from the Marines and I love the views and laws we are fighting to keep that we hold dear “today” in the south. And my ancestors fought willing for the south and died in shiloh Tennessee. But to be proud of a heritage that fought to keep slavery alive, a heritage that hated the decoration of independence/Constitution, a heritage that swears up and down the war was fought for many reasons other then slavery to help them feel better about themselves, a heritage of traitors is sad. But that is what makes America great you can freely express your ignorant views but doesn’t mean you should. I’m embarrassed of my Heritage and you should be to. Sins of the father and all.
I have lost count of how many Alabama concerts my wife and I went to including June Jam, they were probably the best country group ever, and Hank Jr was right up there with them!
Alabama and Hank Jr were the founders of Country Rock and they were the biggest country stars in 80s and seeing them together must’ve been the best time moment for all country music fans who love Alabama and Hank Jr
Seen them in B'ham open for ole Bocephus, at Boutwell Auditorium. Hank songs were played by Alabama cause Bo Showed up at closing time Fu*ked up. It was Epic.1981 ! Rock out Dont put that Joint Out. 10th B day.HELL YEAH🤘

ALABAMA by far the best country band ever and my fave, followed by The Judds. But when Hank Jr sings those lyrics... hot damn it feels it had that much more soul.
this is absolutely true country music this will never get replaced two icons the mighty Alabama and Hank Jr two legends in their own right never again will see talent like this on one stage this is just amazing great country music
I saw these Boys 3 times..Twice in the Lakeland Civic Center, Clint Black was on one of them. Saw them in Tampa. Waylon Jennings opened up the show. Good Times always with the boys from Ft. Payne..Top Shelf, #1..
The good ole days when country music was still on the top side of the sod. Its been dead for a while God rest it's soul. Thank goodness for RU-vid and satellite radio because that's the only way to hear it now.
No, it's not dead, it's just that stations only play this "new country", which isn't even country. Thankfully, there are still artists that record real country, you just have to look for it, as it's not mainstream anymore.
@@rodneyyarbrough6524 Yeah, and they won't even play oldies on today's stations. Thankfully RU-vid has all the Hank, George, Johnny and all the others legends of real country.
You got two iconic Legends here in Bocephus Mr Hank Williams Junior in the mighty Alabama he looked great coming out in the Confederate Gray this is just an iconic moment with these men on the stage these iconic Legends
I bet that was a cool show to be at! Just when you think it can't get any better, Hank Jr. comes strolling out on stage with a banjo strapped on. It don't get more country than that, Hank Jr, a civil war suit and a banjo!
I remember hurrying home to watch this on tv as a kid, I don't remember if it was on ABC, CBS or NBC, long before there was a FOX network lol Does anyone recall which network it was on?
H Cubed. Randy Owen, the lead singer of Alabama was NOT making an ass of himself. That's how they performed on stage to really get the fans in to it. That's why they are the greatest country music group of all time and they are the greatest country music group of the 20th century. If you have not seen them then don't say anything wrong about them. I've seen them 19 times and I love how they performed like this.
I’ve seen Alabama several times they were fantastic!!! And no he’s not making an ass he’s performing and by god he’s good!! That would’ve been a hell of a show!!
If you and your sympathizers who replied approvingly below believe that such silly, childish, girlish behavior would get a bunch of US Navy sailors and other Navy personnel into the music, you are sadly mistaken. It is ass wipe behavior, and that is why there was so much applause when Hank Jr. came on and did not dance around like a paper kite. I have not been to an Alabama concert ever, and for the sake of my military bearing, I am glad I did not. Another comment here said that Owen was always full of himself. That about sums it up for me.
@@hcubed4354 the only person is an as wipe is you and the person that was dancing near the end was not randy owen it was someone else so get your facts straight. Randy owen was just standing there and playing the guitar and singing and jumped up a couple of times. And no Randy is not full of himself you are loser oh and by the way you only have 130 subs so i'm not worried about your loser opinion I just watched the video cause of Alabama and Hank
We were able to see Alabama at Melody Fair (small venue just outside Buffalo NY). What a great show they did in that cramped music hall. Easily better than all the arena concerts. Miss all these guys.
Hank Jr. was and still is the man wished Country music today would realize what talent is. Electronics has put pretty face with no talent on the charts.
Damn Bulldogger, why don’t you just go up and piss on the stage if you think you know so much. Nah I’m just joking. 👍🏻 I didn’t quite know what you meant, but it’s cool to learn new musical terminology occasionally. Have a good one, brother!
I never knew this had ever happened! Hank and Alabama on stage together, these two artists were the top two Country artists of the 80's. Nobody sold more records in the 80's than Hank and Alabama. I wonder who sold more, Hank had more albums to sell but I think individually Alabama records sold a little more than Hank's did. Just a guess though.
