Watching this video takes me back to 1986 in Sask. I privileged to open for Waylon and a few others. Years later we met again , I was still in awe even though Waylon was quite ill, He finished his even though he was having shortness of breath due to the high altitude of the Canadian north, we were supposed to meet and reminisce on old times ,he was a mentor and almost like a dad to a 20 yr. old kid from CA. Trying to become a Star. This song has lots meaning to me. He died way to soon.
I saw him live in 1992. It was one of the top five days of my life. I was so nervous because I wondered if he sounded as good live as he did on film and on record. He sounded better! Precious memories of the best country singer ever to have drawn breath.
I love that tune and I love Waylon Him and my Grandfather are the same age and Waylon reminds me a lot of my grandfather he died two years after Waylon did
Seems like every song of Waylons' that I hear is my favorite, but we shared a very similar upbringing, and this one is either number one or two depending on what day it is. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Oh geez, I've watched this three times in a row! I can't stand it...what a gem. I have the biggest smile on my face; I sure miss him as I watch this with complete mixed emotions and only a few short days from the 10th anniversary of his passing.
This is great!.Thanks for the post. Notice how Waylon, forgets the words.Then he drops the time,but the band follows him,and it never happened.A wonderful performance,of a Billy Joe Shaver song.Check out Billy Joe Shaver,live at Billy Bobs!.You won't be sorry ,you did!
Absolutely terrific. This is one of my favorite songs. If you do a search for "Where Corn Don't Grow," a couple other Waylon versions will come up. His duet with Travis Tritt is really great. Thanks so much for the post.
Oh my gosh...this has been up since Sept 2011 and I haven't seen it. Fantastic share. Thank you so much for this share; with great appreciation. This is a treasure. Thank you also to my friend Monica for sending this to me
People have always disliked the present and pined for the past. I remember people saying this sort of thing 20 years ago. I get what your saying though.
How the hell did his face turn into this? 1967 Waylon was a handsome dude and life seems to have laid a heavy hand on the man we see in 1990. Love him dearly since the beginning but lord, that boy paid a price.
FishWhiskey He had a very hard life of drinking and drugs much like Johnny Cash. He probably would not have survived if Jessi hadn't gotten to him when she did.
Alvin, this is my second RU-vid page just for Waylon, Cash and other outlaw music. I haven't really posted much. I do have about half of the afternoon show and almost all of the nighttime show. I only posted this because he tells such a great story and there is not much video footage of him singing this song. I'm amazed at how good this show sounds on a VHS Camcorder.
