Tim McGraw- Don't close your eyes keith Whitley cover at KY state fair.MOV 

KEITH WHITLEY WAS AMAZING!! HE HAD SO MANY HITS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME

Still love this Tim singing this song after all these years. He is a true Entertainer and interpreter of songs.

Love you Tim you are the man! I was at the concert that keith Whitley was suppose to be at, I was in elementary school and they said at the concert that he was sick and could not make it. Next thing I remember is that he died. Will always love Keith Whitley music and glad to see other musicians honor his memory. Thanks Tim!

@ Jason Kieninger......Tim is paying such a grand tribute to Keith Whitley. How better to do it than with a perfect rendition of Don't Close Your Eyes. Keith would have been proud.

I so love being a good ole boy from Kentucky. Its hard to beat ole Keith. He made a statement in country music in a hurry. What Mighta Been? Makes ya think of how many more he woulda belted out if hed a made it.

To whomever says that it was done better than Keith Whitley, well they have never heard Keith Whitley.

5 stars, Tim. Great job. When a person tries to cover a song so iconic it's in the top ranks of most traditional country music fans, it can be tough to approval. Keith's version is a masterpiece. The version in this recording is a winner.

that gave me chills... what a great cover of one of the greatest real country songs ever

Tim needs to make an album of covers,he is so good at covering other artists,he is as good as the original. that says a lot about his vocal abilities

When I'm off mood I play this song it melts my hearts. Thanks Tim God bless you. From India

Long Live Keith Whitley!!!!

What a great cover! His voice is amazing.

Omg!! This beautiful song never gets old. Just absolutely love it and I'm all Chicana/ Mexican just love to listen to this and think about my baby!!! Good Job Tim&Keith :)

I am a huge fan and I have been to his concerts and he can sing without a mic and he sounds good. his voice is great. I love this man.

I love this song. Tim does a great job. He even sounds like Keith. Great performance, Mr. McGraw!

Love tim! Sounds amazing!

Tim is really a great performer. He seems so genuine.

Proud Louisiana boy (thought not a Cajun) don't good. Abandoned by his famous dad, the Lord brought him together with an incredible, Mississippi orphan and TINY town girl, the gorgeous Faith Hill. GEAUX TIGERS!

One word brilliant xx

Tim don't look his age, looks better today than he did 20 years ago. That body! Wow!!!

What a man what a man

He could never ever compare to kieth but its a good copy and hes a good singer and respectfull and no one ever will be the true best singer in country music

only Alan Jackson's version comes close to Keith's!! Alan has the oldtime country in his voice, and heart you can tell with every song he sings. RIP KEITH

good heavens yea!!!!

Hard to believe that Tim and Faith both turn 54 this year.

From,11 years ago means,it is now 34 years on stage!!!

Keith sing this better then any ones but Tim is good

Great job..

I was here ,when he sang and did his show and he was wonderful,but i had trouble with my seat,they kept moving me. I sat in back and cried because I lost my seat I paid good money for. but it was not his fault. he is such a fantastic entertainer!!!!!!

Robert, You are right. I just listened to Alan Jackson...Very good. Thanks.

Watching & done

damn

🔥

Good 1 for The 'Ol Kentucky Bluebird!!!

good tribute !

GEAUX TIGERS! Yes in deed

That feeling isn't in this singing like Keith Whitley did it. RIP dear Keith 😇

The best cover is Chris Young, so golden voice and has rich tone!

Good job

i agree.hes singing don't close your eyes,but if you do,you could almost say that its a Keith witley concert

still soooo freaking hot!! some men never age....Lord, send me one of these beautiful cowboy hunks.... :D

Tim,why didn't you sing that song at the Key Bank center last year?

Best America can give :)

Geaux Tigers LSU!!! 💜🐯💛

@nobanisnoob , how do you know that,do you know Tim personally. I wish I knew him. he is a fantastic entertainer. I love his voice and his wife.

Sound is rough on my end but I gave it T's up.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

i love it!! geaux tigers!!

GEAUX TIGERS!

Great job on the coronal's song! !!

my God is very handsome man :)

No one is better then Keith Whitley well maybe his son Jesse Keith Whitley

Geaux Tigers!

@jefehbk , they moved me because of the other people who had the same seats on their tickets and I informed the ticket agents but they could not do anything about it.

@Tysen37075 right on BRO

agreed Chris young wins it for me

@grolliaz when was the 80? you must be really old or did you mean the 1980s? lol

@Jstines85 Chris Young does a fair job, i'll give you that. But personally, i think Bradley Gaskin does it best (he's the one that sings "Mr. Bartender", for those that don't know).

Best cover by far! Chris young too nasal, Alan Jackson version sounds like elevator music. No contest.

Hi hey hay Kelly mulcahy

I was thinking the same thing...Nobody beats Bradley, definitely not with this song. Tim's got nothing on him

800 long st 803

UK fans don't want to hear nothing about LSU.

@nobanisnoob But Keith didn't write DCYE. ;)

Keith Whitley is the only one who can sing This song.

Haha!! Geaux Tigers!

Did great with this! Tim McGraws voice is sexy!

KW did it better but still good job Mcgraw

Gosh he looks drunk wobblin around the stage... He is making me dizzy! Just start. Singin!

chris no fuc??? way

Love Tim, but this is Keith's song no one does it better- Alan Jackson comes close. l

Tim thanks for the tribute to Keith Whitley but you should have told the people that you don"t have Keith"s vocals but you will do your best cause you stunk up a beautiful song

omg he's got the cutest body/butt. :D

This is almost better than Keith! I love Tim McGraw

Reporting me to customs ? reporting me to the tax ? BOTH...of which got nowhere LOL 18 Years constant abuse to Pete Loaf , Pete eventually threatened him with legal actions... The prick soon went quiet then eh ! Shall i go on there's TON'S more ! Looks like you've AT long last worked him out going by the comments on ..The days when we where young video. Anyway...wishing you all the best Susan and a healthy & happy future, Hope you manage to sort things out with your husband Dave XX
