The Highwaymen - Me and Bobby McGee (American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Coliseum, 1990) 

He wrote that about Janis Joplin. He was quite a interesting character. A Rhodes scholar, could’ve taught at West Point, and the list goes on

Johnny, Willie, and Waylon all had individual hits on this song that Kris wrote.

Yes yes and yes

sooooooooooooo true!

I wish I could have been there😭😭

Lucky sob's what a night you must've had watching these legends

I’m not jealous. I’m not jealous. I’m happy for you really. 😂😂 Congratulations on being able to see these legends perform together! I’m grateful we live in an age I can watch 40 years later.

Am so jealous you were there, what a concert!

Together with Waylon, Willie & Johnny? That's a level of cool I can't even begin to understand.

i just can't get enough of it. Truly as someone said, the Mount Rushmore of country.

Yes I agree and I am English. Always playing it.

Aye has to be one of the greats of all time what would we give to see them live tomorrow? Just 2 left now Willie never got the credit he deserved

Absolutely concur , he swept floors and helicopters

Kris and Willie, hang in for us.

Me too!!!

Me too

Watching this from Glasgow Scotland. Amazing

Yeah he's absolutely loving it !!!!!

Along with Robert Hunter and Bob Dylan

Paul Simon, John Prine, Joni Mitchell…

Jerry Reed

Carol King, please...

He led a remarkable life.

👌👌👌

Mickey Raphael on harp!! Always the best. /CD

AGREE..Mickey sure gets it done!! Best I have ever heard!!!

ursel doran - he sure does, I am surprised he doesn’t get more attention he is in all the best Videos

Mickey Raphael has been playing the harp with Willie Nelson’s band since 1973 (7,000 shows).

So true! No one can be taken for granted! The guys in the back to the roadies and sound-light guys! 💘

Best band

My mom in law had never been 2 a concert and Itiok her k. Roger's was there too and she came just as they were escorting him 2 the stage

​@@roxanedavis957 great country music love it

The musicians of today would not lace the shoes of that gang they were perfection at its best 👌👌🇨🇮🇨🇮

Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good? Stop rolling downhill with the democrats heading for hell, let's all reelect President Trump and ring the Liberty bell, let's make a ford and a Chevy run on Affordable American oil like they should

Six :) please, do count Reggie Young

Lisa Miller you got that spot on he is amazing talent

You are sure right with this comment.

You have not heard Neil Diamond's Hot August Night.

I believe this Mickey showed up playing tunes with Neil Young and Willie Nelson at a Farm Aid concert.

Army Officer

Thank you for sharing that. I had no idea. Respect.

There are lots and lots of performers. Kris fabulous *WRITING* of his own numerous songs is a work of Genius!

Convoy made me at a young age idolise him. Class guy!!

Kris was an Army Ranger along with helicopter pilot an Capt of that unit before resigning in 1965. He wasn't in favor of the Vietnam War. A man amongst men! 💪👍😎

Mickey Rafael was Willie's brother-in-law at one rime.

He is so very very good ❤ 4:12

-

The BEST!

Oh yes

Correct...

They are just blowing my mind.. soooo goooood for my eares and the joy they are having on stage... What a fantastic gig !!!!!! Love from Norway....T...

So true 👍

The Traveling Wilbury's? It's a tough call.

You got that right!....

Absolutely never can be duplicated! The Highwaymen were special!!!❤️

Every decade gives us great people. We just miss it sometimes bc its not our jam.

The best of the best.

for sure

​@🎉rapier1954

😅

I agree, Apsco---Kris has always appreciated that his efforts were appreciated by his talented friends.

Kris is so handsome even today at his age

@@annettespencer8154gotta admit you’re right. Good looking old dude. Talented beyond belief too I personally think his voice has gotten better with age

Including himself. He’s got a great voice

@@nobodyspecial6513 ciao amico! 🙋‍♀️😍😘💘🍀

From one side of the country to the other as well as from dark to light. Truly brilliant writing saying so much so simply

Waymore = ❤😂🎉😅😊

Idem for Cash

You might want to give a listen to Waylon live, from 1975, it is my favorite version and Waylon is at his peak. It’s my favorite version of me and Bobby McGee.

Amazing isn't it

Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I really appreciate, I hope you will never stop listen to my music 🎶.. If you don’t mind kindly drop me your google chat just to get in touch with you

Legends. I’ll trade all my tomorrow’s for one single yesterday.

Amen to that, who would be today's Highwaymen ? Will never be matched I think 🙂

They were brilliant!!

tal cual, pienso igual, son y serán únicos!!!!

I wish I could belly up to a bar, and buy them all a beer, then, I could die happy and content...!

Amen ,,,

Willie Nelson was definitely top 100 in the world.

Yep ....I said it alright.

Got a year on u. I think these 4 are the best country musicians there ever were.

This was the first song, Kris K., wrote preformed by Janis Joplin.

This is the guy who wrote it. Kris kristophersen. One of the few to actually deserve the title "Legend" and of course, Willy, Waylon and Johnny C. What more can be said!

That's Mickey Raphael. He's been with Willie for 47 years now and has done over 7,000 shows.

You know I always think so to.

The best I've ever seem

and he's still going strong

Hello for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️please send me a via.kriskristofferson6@gmail.com

george jones sang "whose gonna take their place" looks like NOBODY, so sad.

they just don"T MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE. why?

Never

Very good

I wanted to reply with something, but you already said it.👍

Can’t beat that

Watching legends

Well said. Love their songs. Love country music. Couldn’t be better.

Voices heaven

Yes, he is! Truly fabulous. Has been with Willie Nelson for more than 40 years, I just read. And doing lots of other stuff, too. Sorry I can't provide his name. Only heard it a couple of times recently, and it hasn't "stuck" yet.

Great if he had a name. Perhaps you can enlighten me?.

Fantastic!

Yep

Oo

He sings 1,000,000 times better than me!

At the risk of sounding arrogant I am

Some us weren't teenagers

Me too

One word: COMMIES

I'm not American but yes I agree

New time, new generation but thanks for RU-vid, we can still watch the greats..

Boromir Smith The only influence that has changed the culture of America for the worse in the last three decades is fascism.

Waylon and Johnny were both of Irish heritage too 🇮🇪❤️🇺🇸❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 rip

Same here.

@Oscar Hester look at it this way Oscar, what you are seeing and listening to will forever live in RU-vid and can be listened to again and again.

Anita Veka I wasn’t even born 😭

I got to see them all in concert.

I'd have give both my right and left 🤔.. nut (😲your what !?..lol ) to have seen them live ... but was in the Navy in Japan when they toured 😞

No you're not, good music is more important to the world than just about anything at all and there's very little good anything left.

I'm not worried but you are probably right.

I stopped listening to country radio a few years ago after figured out the template for songs: a pickup truck, drinking beer, crushing a country road and making out with a girl wearing shorts. Did I leave out anything from that formula.

Sorry, I meant cruising not crushing. Anyway, a song that doesn't have meaning and emotion behind it is just noise.

So what?? You don't get this anymore....

True!! To me, this is a celebration of the song!!! Love it!!

la musica non ha confini loro sono legenda!!!!!!!!!! un saluto dall' italia al popolo americano

It is wonderful, once a time in my life, to feel the time stands still. Listening to the beatuy of the music that I love.

Yikes

Camo Keever AGREED!!

Yep! You always got the impression they had some fun secrets and were secretly laughing about them...like painting the whole motel room black !

Best Comment 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Agree with you Campbell Keever. There will never be 4 Legends out these 4.

Yyq

Not harmonium, its a chromatic harmonica. And Mickey Raphael is one of the best at it

Marty needs to be on that stage. Too bad he died in 1982. He was the most talented out of all those incredible musicians. Johnny and Marty were real close friends.

Doesn't Waylon have a lovely voice. I don't think I ever noticed that before.

@tomtolbert32 l

Don't forget Reggie Young in the back playing all those beautiful fills on a guitar.

Thanks for your wonderful comments, I really do appreciate you as a super fan and this is my own way of saying I love you guys, this is my chat mail. Send me a message via: privatekriskristoffesoncomm@gmail.com

The greatest!

If only we could back to these times. Godbless you

Totally agree, from a Scotsman

More talant on that stage than in today's top 40

Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song

I am from Sweden but I look at this every day and love it

Me too…..every day this lifts my spirit and assures me of a great attitude for the rest of the day no matter what comes!

amen

Probably buried under a pile of bad music

These times are gone forever, except on replay. It’s snowflakes from here on out, ha ha! Get used to canned country music, or better yet, flip back to the past.

I couldn’t of said it any better. These guys would be Patriots singing for President Trump if they were alive together. From a Retired old Pastor from Australia

To heaven and they will stay there😁

Amen to that!

Thank you janis...

"I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday"

I bet.

Chris Kristofferson wrote this song in 1969.

Imortais!

Super super

Country music at its best.great sound thanks band .u/k x😊😊

That is really true.

That's why Trump can't sing just talks bullshit, bone spurs is his sorry song.

Thanks for adding Mickey to your cudos!

Что-то из области фантастики, больше не будет такого

The American Outlaws, the words is a better place because of them their music and songs, I could listen to them forever XXXX

Real music

Layzie Haze I get the sentiment, but they had floor monitors. They could definitely hear themselves.

@@andrew77961 whats the problem with hearing yourself. I sing and hear myself

john smith It’s about playing in a live setting. Typically the band is behind the speakers, the PA is facing the crowd but in front of the stage. Yeah, they could hear it, but it would be echoing back and not sound right. So when you see those wedges on the front of a stage facing back towards a band, those are speakers so the band can hear themselves clearly. A lot of modern acts use in ear monitors so they can move around more.

The fucking best brother...

So sad

What amazes me is that...according to health specialists....these 4 should have been dead by age 40 from the way they abused their bodies...but...hell no... I think they all hit at least 70. Waylon had diabetic problems that killed him. The others I guess were just pickled and preserved...using about every substance known to man...lol That ALL FOUR of them would survive so long...I'm wondering if they didn't share some special elixir of life or were just too mean to die... lol. Whatever the answer, I am forever grateful that we have had them for so long. God Bless them, every one!!!

@@bettyjoegentry9280 wooow itsbacause they are legends!

@@bettyjoegentry9280 well, Waylon died at 64 and John died of diabetic complications as well - but yeah, they did live longer than they were expected to. I love Waylons remarks about how he knew that everything that was wrong with him, he caused. It takes a man to recognize and accept that, and i hope they didn't have too much regret on their last days. No matter how stupid they were back in the days, legends they were, and though they 'only' lived for 64 and 71 years respectively, they put a mark on the world that will last for hundreds of years.

@@bettyjoegentry9280 It sounds as though you are the SURGEON GENERAL reading an obsolete , Black Boxed Medical Text Book. Country Music is about REAL life, flaws and all.

Amen!
