I listen to this concert almost nightly

It is called ""OUTLAW COUNTRY"" - Waylon is the GOAT of Outlaw music!! He is my absoluter favorite singer & I have been listening to him since 1972!!! I am 74 & played his concert today!!!

Waylon was one of the best! Waylon and Willie still ranks in the top couple concerts ive ever seen no matter the genre!

Waylon was a little bit of a rebel. He didn't let any record label control his music. Total respect and love.❤❤ "He's a Taker" is the song that turned me to country when I was 17. I had to correct the song title....The Taker.

Yayyyyy!!!!! So happy you listened to my favorite Waylon song!!!!! This live version actually is short a verse from the studio track but it’s still fire! Now you got to check out “Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way”, “Are You Ready For The Country”, “I’ve Always Been Crazy, and “I Ain’t Living Long Like This”.

And "Good Ol Boys",of course!!!

Also, Waylon's Buddy Holly Medley. Waylon was the Base Player for Buddy's Winter Tour. The day the music died.

Waylon wrote and recorded some great songs, but for many he was best known for the theme song & intro and outro for the TV show "Dukes Of Hazzard". "I've Always Been Crazy", "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", and "Ramblin' Man" are quintessential Waylon. He also did duets, like "Storms Never Last", with his beautiful wife Jessie Colter.

No that's not what he was known best for but it did sell the most at the time since he was the Bailadier and singer for the show..

You still gotta check out his wife, Jessi Colter - "I'm Not Lisa!" Another great live performance.

I like Waylon Jennings. I've listened to him from my teenage years. One of my favorite country music artists!

I absolutely loved Waylon Jennings! He was the epitome of Outlas Country!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seen Waylon everytime he got within 100 miles or so from the 70's until he passed. That's Ralph Mooney playing the pedal steel guitar. Waylon said he was the best steel guitar player in the world. Waylon called him Moon.

He has a really good country ballad called "Amanda" I love the lyric "Amanda light of my life, fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. I got my first guitar when I was 14 now I'm over 40 and still wearing jeans" also "good hearted woman"

Classic Outlaw Country! The best! We had Waylon’s Greatest Hits 8-track (yes, 8-track) and we wore it out while playing pool in the basement in the early 80s.

It wasn't about Tina, he wrote it after he seen her sign,and said that was a good name for a song..Waylon wrote it..and Willie got credit on it because of the word he put in it. Country artist should be thankful for what Waylon did for them all including Willie because none of them had the balls to do what Waylon did and there wouldn't be no Willie as a singer if not for Waylon..

Well I guess Waylon lied about it, in his interview he did, that I watched. The song came from a story written in the news paper. He called Willie and ask him to come in on the song with him. Again Waylons words. The article was a controversial story about the ups and downs of Ike and Tina

I saw Waylon in 1973, 2 years before this. He opened for the Grateful Dead, which is why I was there. Waylon impressed the hell outta me that sunny afternoon. He was on fire. I regret not seeing him perform live again. I tried though when he performed as a Highwaymen but those concerts were sold out. I suggest you react to his classic "I Don't Think Hank Did It Thus Way" , preferably the live version as a Highwayman.

Gotta love Waylon.... he was awesome live.

Great covers of many of their songs by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristoffersen and Johnny Cash as the Highwaymen at Nassau. Maybe Me and Bobby McGee because Kris wrote it.

Wow, two country songs in one day! Yay!! For the Highwaymen, check out “Ghost Riders in the Sky”, “Big River”, or “Good Hearted Woman”. They pretty much did all the hits of their respective solo artists, so anything you pick will be fire!

Please watch The Highwaymen live. Waylon, Willie, Johnny and Chris. It won't disappoint. Good job again guys as usual.

He was amazing. I love me some Waylon!! I’d love to see you react to “Ladies Love Outlaws”, “This Time” or “Brown Eyes Handsome Man”. Take care y’all!

He did the intro for the Dukes of Hazzard called Just the Good Ol' Boys. You have to try it sometime. Also, try 'I Don't Think Hank Done it This Way'.

That was not a slide guitar. It was a pedal steel. Very different instrument. The pedal steel helped to give the older country that distinctive "twangy" sound.

So many good Waylon songs you gotta check out "Only daddy that'll walk the line", "Are you ready for the country", "Waymore Blues", "Good ole boys", and one of my favs "Slow Rollin' Low". Big Waylon fan thanks to my younger brother who is such an Outlaw Country fan he just named his first kid Waylynn, she's just 6 months old now but she already is a music lover.

It was Ralph Mooney playing the "Steel Guitar". He retired from Buck Owens band and Waylon talked him into joining this band and he helped set Waylon's sound throughout the 70's. I first heard Waylon in 1965 and loved his music to this day. Try "Are You Sure Hand Done It this Way. It was his breakout hit. Also Honky tonk Heroes from 1973

Rose in Paradise and Amanda are two of my favorites by Waylon Jennings. My favorite Highwayman!

The steel "slide" guitar has its roots in the Hawaiian culture, and today the types played are varied. Love Waylon. Willie left Nashville and pulled Waylon with him. Together they helped transform Austin, Tx into the "Outlaw Country Music Capital" of the world. 😉♥

Please don't call it slide guitar 2 different styles. It's pedal steel

The guy sitting down is playing a Steel Guitar. a slide guitar is where a person uses a metal tube over one finger and slides it back and forth on the neck of the guitar. Bonnie Raitt plays a slide guitar.

Waylon Jennings❤ you gotta try "are you sure Hank done it this way$. There are several audio only videos with Waylon, but look for his live performance version.

Ralph Mooney is playing the pedal steel guitar and he is hands down the greatest steel player EVER. Waylon was a huge fan of Ralph's. Every song from this set is fire. Look for the It's Not Supposed to be That Way/Slow Rolling Low video from this same concert. Ralph's playing on Slow Rolling Low is phenomenal and Waylon smiles and gives him a whoop. Ralph plays the songs a little different every time.

JayDee Maness is another amazing steel player. He was part of Buck Owens' band The Buckaroos and later on was part of the Desert Rose Band.

"I've Always Been Crazy" would be my choice for your next Waylon song.

Written by the great Steve Young, who also wrote "Seven Bridges Road." Young's version is decidedly different but still really great.

Yeah I always enjoyed Steve Young. Saw him perform in the early 80s in Knoxville, TN, and I own a couple of his albums. Some time in the late 90s I heard that Steve Young would be appearing on the David Letterman Show. So I tuned in to watch him perform, only to be disappointed that there was a football player by that name. Steve Young died in 2016.

Waylon Jennings is the one playing and Singing the Intro song for The Dukes of Hazzard 😁

That song is pure ear candy. One of the first hard driving outlaw songs ever…recorded back in ‘73. Waylon sang from his soul and you hardly see that these days.

Saw Waylon in concert around this time. it was this " Outlaw " movement that hooked me on " real country music ". Other songs from Waylon to give a listen to: " Amanda ", Are you sure Hank done it this way", and " Only daddy that'll walk the line"...

Anything Waylon is always good... and Waylon Live is even better

Waylon is my favorite artist of all time! His sound is so unique and his band with Ralph Mooney on the steel guitar to me is untouchable. Glad y’all liked it!!

Waylon anything is amazing 👏 😍 yall

Just all gooned up, just sounding good. He was awesome

Rose in Paradise and Rough and Rowdy are 2 more great songs

Waylon created a genre of music all his own ,for the simple fact is that nobody,& l mean nobody can replicate his sound/his music. No one can come close to Waylon Jennings.Waylon stands alone on what he created. tands alone on

I was fortunate enough to meet Waylon in Vegas in the 80s and he talked to me and my Wife for about 20 minutes 😊! It was the highlight of my life, been listening to Waylon since the late 60s!!! Greatest singer evva!!!

Waylon's best song... & he's got a lot of great ones. Glad you shared. RIP

The best Waylon Jennings song will always by "Good Ole Boys" the theme song to the tv show Dukes of Hazzard. A great song for a good, clean show set in Georgia. I highly recommend both the song and the tv show.

One of the greatest country singers, period. R.I.P. Waylon Gone but never forgotten!!

Waylon was the King of Outlaw Country. To understand the Outlaw Country music movement, you've got to understand the era. The Vietnam War was just ending and some of the veterans felt a connection the old west outlaws. And Country artists were experimenting with new sounds. Mixing in some Rhythm and Blues with the traditional Country sound, while changing the lyrical content to more rugged and rough topics that resonated with the returning veterans, who were coming together in various biker clubs. So, the lyrical content became a story song about their every day lives, mashed up with the life of a country artist on tour. And there you have the creation of the outlaw Country music movement of the 70s. It really was an amazing era for the country music genre. I grew up listening to it, and as a child, I hated country, because all the adults listened to it, while I wanted to hear AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. But it grew on me and to this day, I absolutely Love outlaw country.

What a voice he had. Unique. This was the style country i grew up with.i dont know where it went😢- The Gatlin Bros was another one to check out

Can’t go wrong with a Waylon song. He was such a great singer and entertainer. Jessie Colter and Waylon have a few duets. She’s beautiful, with a beautiful voice and he sure loved her. ❤

One of my late husbands favorite songs. My husband was a huge fan of outlaw country. The steal guitar featured here is a pedal steal guitar.

Thank you so much! This is such an Important Waylon song! This is so Waylon, strong vocals and his distinctive guitar! Got to hear the studio version.

Absolutely cannot go wrong with Waylon. If you want a light-hearted song from him yet Clyde. Whoop whoop.

The Conversation by Waylon and Hank Williams Jr. Just them talking about Hanks dad Hank Sr great story telling

Waylon, one my dad's all-time favorites is also one of the few country artists that I always enjoy listening to.

A great underrated Waylon song you should check out is Rose in Paradise. Great song

on February 3 1959 he gave up his seat on a small airplane that crashed and killed Ritchie Vallens The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly

Good song good reaction

I don't know if anyone's told you this yet but W. Jennings is the voice of the theme song for dukes of hazards

LOVE everything from Waylon ❤

My Dad played slide bar Steel guitar. My parents professionally toured most of my life,with my Mom singing while Dad played Steel. I was raised in a tour bus,sleeping in a top drawer when I was a baby.

My son has Lonesome, Onry Mean tattooed across his fingers. I hated it at first, but it has grown on me; he carries it well 😂 We are seeing Willie Nelson next month here in Jersey ❤

Waylon Jennings was the absolute best. Anything by him is great. Keep it up.

Thanks for doing this one. It's one of my all time favorites. Next one I'd suggest is I Don't Think Hank Done It This Way.

Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way is cool

That’s Ralph Mooney playing the steel he is legendary. Helped pioneer several styles of country before a long career playing with Waylon.

My all time favorite Waymore tune! Thank you guys. Love from Ft. Worth, Texas

Back in the day (about 40 years ago) most of the guys named their pickup trucks. On the bug shield of my brother's truck was "Lonesome, Onery and Mean". He still has the bug shield but sadly the truck doesn't run anymore.

Love it omg 😲

Early Waylon; 'I'm The Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line' :)

Thanks for reacting to this one. You two are amazing! Darealdeal

Guys, the instrument you refer to as a "slide guitar" is actually called a pedal steel guitar. It has knee levers and foot pedals that the player uses to bend notes. The player must use both hands and feet - as well as both knees to become proficient at it. Also he controls the volume with a foot pedal. It is one of the hardest instruments in the world to get really good at. (I tried for a while a few years back and finally gave it up.) So, needless to say I have great respect for anyone who can really play it. There are only a few masters of the instrument in the world. A friend of mine whole plays it really well once told me that it takes at least 20 years to learn. Just thought you'd like to know.

Legend

Thank you for doing this, as Waylon is my favorite artist of all time. I was blessed to see him perform 3 times back in the day. This was right around the peak of his career, which was basically the early to mid 70s before he started losing his voice. The studio version was released in '72 or '73, and is worth looking into as he has stronger vocals on that version. Oh, and if no one mentioned it earlier the pedal steel player was Ralph Mooney (no time to read comments right now).

You gotta do "Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way?"

Should do Waylon are you sure Hank done it that way and Charlie Daniels band Long Haired Country boy.

First concert I went to was back in 77. My buddy's mom and aunt took us to see Waylon, me and my buddy's hero. We were in 7th grade at the time. He's still me and my buddy's hero. You need to check out Waymore' blues. That's definitely my favorite song of Waylon Jennings.

The Conversation with Waylon and Hank

Awesome song and singer, too bad he's gone but not forgotten. I love all of Waylon Jennings music plus his son Shotter is awesome too just like his dad and mom Jessi Colter.

Waylon live is perfection.

He slows it down with the sweet song called "Amanda".

So glad you reacted to this one. Love this song!

It’s called “Outlaw “ , because there was only a handful, that did it there way, & he was 1 of em, along with Willie, Johnny, Kris, Hank Jr, and a few others 😁😁

Really been digging your reactions. Been going back through your catalog, and I was surprised that you hadn't gotten to or been recommended any Porcupine Tree yet. They're incredible, and I'd love to see you guys react to the live version of Anesthetize by them. Thanks for the awesome videos!

Great reaction. Waylon is the definition of Outlaw. My favorite songs of his are "It's Not Supposed To Be That Way", " Honky Tonk Heroes" and "Dreaming My Dreams".

The driving beat pushing all the way, same in “Are you sure Hank done it this way?”. There’s a few versions of The Horse playing this live on KZread, each slightly different and all at a faster tempo than the studio version. Listen to them all!

Love me some Waylon 🥰

"Silver Stallion" by the Highwaymen A steel guitar is tuned to an open chord, and the player has a metal bar in his left hand which lets him change chords just by sliding the bar up and down the strings.

Love this!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or if y'all know but waylon was supposed to be on the plane the day the music died but the big bopper was sick and Waylon gave him his seat to get to the motel and rest

If I had $1 for every time someone asked if I was named after him, I could buy a house. I've never heard a bad song from him, and don't imagine I ever will. Your reactions do my heart good to know that he's still appreciated! Side note: my grandfather was close friends with him in his early days. My biological father had memories of him being a regular at their home when he was a boy. Funny enough, Jennings was laid to rest in Mesa, AZ, about 2 hours south of where I grew up.

Gonna throw my suggestion into the ring: The Conversation by Waylon and Hank Williams Jr. Great story and and great vibe. The official music video is a fun watch too.

One of my favorite Waylon songs is Ive always Been Crazy

Hands down my favorite artist in any genre

The steel guitar player is Ralph Moony, Probably thee best steel picker around. He was a true pioneer and played with Waylon, for many years. Love your channel.

Been waiting for you guys to do this one for a long time! Absolutely bad ass tune!

Wow, you’re really going down the country and western rabbit hole. I would love to see what you think of western classics like Marry Robbins’ “El Paso” or The Sons of the Pioneers “Cool Water.” Oh, and when you want to come back to rock, Steve Perry’s “Strung Out.” ;)

American Remains is a great song from the Highwaymen! If the line "He ain't my friend" doesn't hit you, nothing will.

The man on the pedal steel, the late great Ralph Mooney. You hear “pick it Moon..” on a lot of live recordings. Mr Mooney was the GOAT

Waylon is one of those artists that sound great if not better live!!! The harmonica is deep!!
