rock on up in heaven jerry jeff walker.i love his show i could see him closing his sets with this one.i think the crowd love it leaving them rockin out.teenages espeically rocking out this would been a fun one to play i bet.
Jerry Jeff will always be commemorated as one Country Rock's best-ever. This particular song is one of my personal favourites - out of what is a huge & superb JJW repetoire.
Oops! I got so busy commenting here, that I actually MISSED watching this vid. Just scrolling back, and thank HEAVENS caught it! Jerry Jeff and B. Livingston doing JUMPING JACKS! Go! Jackie Jack ROCKS my socks off!!!! Ohhh, BRod313, how can I ever thank you. What a gift you gave me. I am just lovin' it. THANK YOU FOR THIS SOJOURN INTO THE PAST .. AND PRESENT... OF JJW AND HIS FRIENDS.
Love this old stuff. Willie's version is awesome but love how JJW rocked this out in his own style. Today's pop country can't hold a candle to the outlaws associated with this era. Singers back then had so much personality and style. I hope pop country dies and this good stuff finds its may back to music row.
This was usually one of the songs he played toward the end of a set. By that time, the crowd was pretty well lubed up and dancing (on table tops if the place had them). Good times.
I agree, aeroshine. I feel JJW is one of the BEST Country singers that ever was, and is. His talent soars over many other of the 'big names' ... and, like you said, the TRAGEDY of it all ... is that more than not, people haven't even heard of him. It makes me sick, when I ask long time country fans, and they just don't know. Then, you say "Mr. Bojangles", and there's not a sould who doesn't know it ... But, many millions of people lost out. I'm just glad he is happy. He did it his way.
John Inmon , as almost always, was playing his slashing black Tele. Haven't seen all videos of him, but when he gets that fabulous sound as in this video, doubt he would have had a Gibson axe.
About half off the wall but y'know I learned it all from a bow-legged lady. You know, you have to be from a particular time and place to really appreciate that. Am I wrong?
A voice in a million, what a brilliant musician and singer. And who knows, maybe success like that of Waylon, Kris or Willie would have changed him for the worse. JJW has always done it as he wanted it, not how others wanted it. I guess Bojangles gave him the financial security to walk his own line and raise a big middle finger to the suits. Art wins over commerce for once!
anyone know what brand of guitar john imon is playing on this it looks like a gibson of some type but i dont know for sure,it might be an epihione because it has a les paul sound but looks like a les paul.i think an sg gibson but i dont know for sure.can anyone help me on this because i wonder what brand guitar it is because it sounds awesome for a lead guitar.
One could always tell the difference between JJW, Merle and Randy Travis. Today, these yahoo's all sound and look alike. Kinda put out there like the 'make believe bands' of the 60's and 70's.

A once in lifetime performance
Happy Willie wrote it, but even happier that Jerry Jeff reinvented it this way.
R.I.P.Jerry-you were one in a million.
