Agreed cause he gives credit to all the other ones who helped shape him into the greatest entertainer of all time! And song writer and guitar player and, and and and
Agreed such a unique soul and life can't be easy being the son of hank no nepotism there that boy is as good as all of the great country artists I've heard some people say he is the goat 😮 songs like this definitely put him in the picture
Hank was a party guy but he was way more talented than the rest. Saw him in bama in 89 they had to prop him up but he still played better sloppy drunk than I could sober!
Remember being 4 or 5 years old getting sent to the corner of the room in kindergarten for singing Family Tradition. My daddy turned me onto the outlaw Era music and I'm 44 years old still listening and missing my dad everyday.
Grew up on Hank, coe, Daniels, and the rest of the classics.... I feel like I relate to dinosaur now more than ever. Those were the real artists we won't ever see the likes of again.
It’ll all make sense and work out one day Beverly. Not to minimize your feelings, I can definitely sympathize. It’s all temporary though and will come together in the heavenly kingdom! 😃
The fact that Hank Jr and Waylon were both tuned up out of their minds on coke at this point makes it funnier for some reason. They eventually “rowdy’d all down” and are all geniuses in my book.
Love his impersonation of George, and playing his guitar like Johnny Cash.... Merle Haggard could also do great impressions of his fellow friends/musicians/peers. Love how these guys love and respect each other's talents!!!
Love this video. I discovered Hank’s music in 1982 when I was 19, and he is my all-time favorite performer and entertainer, by far. My curiosity was getting the best of me as I was trying to figure out where this clip came from. I did a little research, and it seems it’s from a 1984 show called Waylon Jennings and Friends. There were reportedly eight parts/episodes. There’s a RUclips channel called Angie Rockgiirl on which she has posted them. I’m sure someone will let me know if my information is incorrect, so I apologize in advance. I just felt that since I was so curious about it, I figured that there are others wondering, as well.
Thank you! I’ve been wondering the same thing for the past year but never did the research, after seeing various of short clips on Facebook I finally told myself I’d finally try and track down the whole video. You just saved me so much time probably lol
God damn it's really amazing to watch these old videos and realize just how good that man really was with just an acoustic guitar and his voice....fucking legend
I swear I've seen this video so many times in the last 8-10 years. Fewer and fewer as the years go by, but still, yeah, I come back because it's so genuine.
This is real country folks ! If you like old country this video will about give you chills ! It really is electric , and Hank Jr blew anything he did out the roof ! Wish we could step back in time to these guys in their prime, oh how the music and world would both be so much better ! RIP to all the legends and thanks to your work , real country music will live on forever, I hope youngsters find this music for years to come and choose it over today’s new crap !
nobody else could cover this song because of how many personal touches he put into it to make his friends laugh at themselves and eachother way to go , ole boy.
I love these good Ol boy’s this is a timeless classic and I’m so glad they got it on video to watch over and over. Never get enough of this amazing moment. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Random thought, but that wouldve been so cool if Hank jr was one of The Highwaymen. I get why he wasnt, he was huge at the time and had his own thing, but that wouldve been amazing.
That's a great video! I'm really glad Hank is now in the Hall of Fame, love, Kris,Waylon, and Willie . Garth Brooks is a phony, these guys are what Country Music is. Keep on rolling,Bocephus, and Willie!!
I'm from over the big pond here in England. I just love that southern drawl, I love Don Williams's velvet voice too. There are so many great Country and Western singers out there. Thank you all for the great heart-tugging songs, that some of us can relate to.
Here in 2024 this music will never die from the people who know what real music is. Im a 23 year old thats been singing along to hank sr and hank jr. Theres no better music than old country music cause it always means something and has a story wether its good or bad.
Well I love this I watch it over n over I've added it to my husband's n my own play list here on you tube and I have to watch it at least twice everytime. It's so awesome. You can tell how close all yall were. N how much you really felt your music. There was a sense of friendship, or family, loyalty, & brotherhood. That you rarely find in music today. Even country music which us supposed to be all about those things. But what is showed& felt in this video is real and can not be faked. I l love it n I love you and your music.THANKS FOR ALL OF IT !!! YOUR IN MY COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME !! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN !!!
Imagine sitting around with those guys and being the common thread among them all.?.?.? Yeah, a lot of them are close friends but usually with one or two of the others. Hank Jr. is tight with all of them. Hank Jr. is the most well rounded C&W, entertainer in history. Blues, Country, Rock......whatever it is, he excels at it all. Plus, he's a real American patriot. Gotta love that guy !!!!!!!!!!!!
Roger Miller is sitting to Hank's right. Roger used to do alot of scatting and vocalese in his songs at comedic points. That's Hank riffing on his style.
I'm still listening in 2024!!! Love all these guys!!!
Real Country Artists featured here!
same
Fax
its so legendary
Yeahhhh buddddy
2023 sitting here jamming out! Absolutely the best there is! The amount of talent in that room is a masterpiece of legends
Such a classic, sittin around unplugged, nothing better
I can't count how many times I have watched this video. this is great country music history.
Billy McIver I can't count on two hands and both feet how many times I've watched it since the day before yesterday.
Very underrated, my brothers and i love this.
Never been a big fan of Jr. but this is really good!!!
Agree, at least my 100th time watching this video😉
its so great
Why do I watch this over and over. Can’t quit listening to hank’s impersonations I love Kris’s reaction to his George impression
Because this has real country singers and it's one of the songs that's real country music
I know what you mean. I've watched quite a few times myself and I'm sure I'll watch some more.
Because this era bocephus just put 9 albums on the charts at da same dam time! He was WAAY Betta than the rest.
Because they partied with george jones and he was the rowdiest of them all and the impression is on point 😂 it's hilarious 😂
Me to that I've had on repeat all night
The Johnny Cash killed me 😂
Right 😂😂😂😂
The George Jones really killed me🤣🤣
@@moeperry3606Same here. Even his singing was all over the road. 🤠
Me too
@@moeperry3606yes, me too
In my opinion this was one of Hank Jrs best songs he’s ever done ❤️
I agree! I always come back to watch this video. The song, this performance - I love everything about it!
Agreed cause he gives credit to all the other ones who helped shape him into the greatest entertainer of all time! And song writer and guitar player and, and and and
Agreed such a unique soul and life can't be easy being the son of hank no nepotism there that boy is as good as all of the great country artists I've heard some people say he is the goat 😮 songs like this definitely put him in the picture
He has a lot to choose from. Not many so called country groups or singers do old school country. Not in today's crap.
Waylon, Johnny, George, are all gone. All we have left is bocephus, willy, and kris
Dont forget David allen coe, Charlie pride, and Loretta
@@jimmyfarrell4275 Coe? David Allan Coe was NEVER a star. Coe was C-list at best. Nobody in Nashville liked him because he was a loudmouth and a liar.
Catfish Cooler David Alan coe was a 100% country music star no question, might need to go check your facts again pal
Mainly Willie.
Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Dwight Yokoam, Buddy Brown.
I never realized how great his rhythm is on an acoustic
Ya the chords sound different too.
Hank was a party guy but he was way more talented than the rest. Saw him in bama in 89 they had to prop him up but he still played better sloppy drunk than I could sober!
@@budstik He's playing in the same key as the original.
Lol.
The album version is more tame. That's usually how it is for artists and they go HAM live.
RIP Kris. Only a couple of guys from this video still around, and the world just isn't the same without all these legends.
Amen
It is 2023 and I am still listening to Hank Williams Jr
I love Kristofferson’s reaction when Jr did George Jones. I love this video
@Avingay Anfordstay what the hell are you on about???
Hall of Fame crowd right there. Every guy is a country legend.
He should be a member of the Grand 2:11 Ol Opry. He’s performed there.
Such a kind man. Always jovial, regardless
The most successful son to ever fill a dads shoes???
+Neil Tipton Filled his shoes and more!
He didn't fill his old man's shoes, he filled his own shoes.
jesus up there too
Not even in the same ballpark as his dad
Probably.
There will never be music made like these guys made it ever again....great classic country music!!
he absolutely nailed the George Jones impression....
drduke10978 it was absolutely spectacular
And the others he slipped in. They smiled when they heard themselves.
When he did the George Jones impression lmao
@@richardwolff71 loved it and Johnny Cash too.
You can't be more of a country insider than this man is, Junior's holding court right here
Ole hank had many great teachers
He does a perfect George Jones impersonation
That was great and he nailed cash too.
Nick Holland he sure did.
@Nick....yep, I love that part
Yes sir he did
Yea I Loved it Man I couldn't help but laugh and rewind it A few Times that was Great 😁😄🙂😏👍✝️🙏✌
Underrated and underappreciated by the larger music community.
Remember being 4 or 5 years old getting sent to the corner of the room in kindergarten for singing Family Tradition. My daddy turned me onto the outlaw Era music and I'm 44 years old still listening and missing my dad everyday.
That room is filled with GIANTS
Seriously!!!
Grew up on Hank, coe, Daniels, and the rest of the classics.... I feel like I relate to dinosaur now more than ever. Those were the real artists we won't ever see the likes of again.
I really hope ur wrong
Yall need to get on Charley crockett, Tyler Childers, james hand, colter wall, cody johnson, etc. Country is in a revival
@@TNdawg dude i came here to type this comment out almost to a "T"
@@TNdawg Go Dawgs
Check out David Allan coe from 1983 austin city limits performing my girl,amazing.
One of my favorite traits of the singer songwriters that I love is a sense of humor. Hank Jr clearly has it as did his father.
Love all your songs. Lost my Daughter 2 years ago, we would always sing karaoke, Family Traditions, miss her so much.
It’ll all make sense and work out one day Beverly. Not to minimize your feelings, I can definitely sympathize. It’s all temporary though and will come together in the heavenly kingdom! 😃
This music never goes away. It's like wine, it gets better with age.
The fact that Hank Jr and Waylon were both tuned up out of their minds on coke at this point makes it funnier for some reason. They eventually “rowdy’d all down” and are all geniuses in my book.
@BobbyBrady-iz2mclol bruh
Willie is stoned out of his mind
As usual, lol.
I love Hank William Sr he have the good cool country music ever
As well as still being better than the newbies from the past 20 or so years.
High as a Space Shuttle.
So am I
He is one of the best,i know he has made his dad proud...wont be another like ol Hank
Wow. People having a good time and laughing instead of getting furious
Love his impersonation of George, and playing his guitar like Johnny Cash.... Merle Haggard could also do great impressions of his fellow friends/musicians/peers. Love how these guys love and respect each other's talents!!!
Waylon rocking on his stool with enjoyment. Love it. Thanks
2024 just started and I still watch this twice a week
I love me some Bocephus.
He carries with him the history of Country,Southern rock and Blues.
Been a good life listening to him.
Love this video. I discovered Hank’s music in 1982 when I was 19, and he is my all-time favorite performer and entertainer, by far.

To be a fly on the wall in that room! Still love this in 2020!!
Still love this little get together in 2023!! Legends just sitting around picking on a guitar and chilling. Favorite version of rowdy friends by far!!
AI will keep these guys around for generations
I remember watching this on TV as a 7 year old little boy in 1982, Bocephus was my favorite then and still is today.
2:45 Willie’s blazed out of his mind
God damn it's really amazing to watch these old videos and realize just how good that man really was with just an acoustic guitar and his voice....fucking legend
is*
At 38 I think every generation can at some point listen to this and reflect.
I am 26 and I feel it
39...agreed
For sure 👍🤠
39 and hits the feels Everytime
35 I’m feeling it
You don’t hear very many singer song writers that sound this damn good
Never gets old does it
Who can relate to this song ?
For sure
Me
The hangover s hurt more they use to be...
Obviously if u dont like this u don't know shit
Downhill with the partying after 40. Can't handle it anymore. Too many more things need to get done.
This is a piece of musical history I love how they are there while he sings about the past and present

Love the spontaneous harmony at 1:48
This is the real deal! Great song and a hell of crew right there! Pure gold!
This song has many meanings for my daddy and grandpa..two best men to walk this planet!!
I swear I've seen this video so many times in the last 8-10 years.
Fewer and fewer as the years go by, but still, yeah, I come back because it's so genuine.
I listen to this religiously every week lol
2:01 The George Jones impressions kills me every time! Spot on Jr! lol
This is real country folks ! If you like old country this video will about give you chills ! It really is electric , and Hank Jr blew anything he did out the roof !

Is it just me or is Waylon rocking back and forth absolutely precious
61 yrs old ....born n raised in Idaho on tejano n Hank n Hank Jr....2023 I'm still listening.....country boys will survive........
God bless Hank for this Awesome performance and all these people ❤
It doesn't get better than this.
This song hits me hard, I think of my old shipmates, and it brings me back to my late teens,early twenty’s
Love his impressions!! Genius!!
Well, hey! Who's listening in 2024?
Here❤❤❤❤❤
Me
Because he’s timeless. That’s why we’re here. 😎
All the time
Moi chef
the imperessions, the playing like johnny cash etc A LEGEND
I love this song. I live in Mexico now, but this song always reminds me of the time (20 years) I spent in Prescott Valley, Arizona! Such good music.
just flat out great.
4 years later coming back to hear this, still flat out great. How times have changed...
Best video I’ve ever seen
nobody else could cover this song because of how many personal touches he put into it to make his friends laugh at themselves and eachother
way to go , ole boy.
Still listening in 2024
I love these good Ol boy’s this is a timeless classic and I’m so glad they got it on video to watch over and over. Never get enough of this amazing moment. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love the impersonations. Pretty darn accurate.
I still listen to Hank Williams Junior I like his music!
It has always seemed to me that Hank Jr. has this irrepressible sense of humor. This video definitely confirms it :-)
Jan 31 , 2024 and this never gets old
Random thought, but that wouldve been so cool if Hank jr was one of The Highwaymen. I get why he wasnt, he was huge at the time and had his own thing, but that wouldve been amazing.
He was the dude riding the horse in the music video. That's pretty close. Nearly killed himself doing it.
That's a great video! I'm really glad Hank is now in the Hall of Fame, love, Kris,Waylon, and Willie . Garth Brooks is a phony, these guys are what Country Music is. Keep on rolling,Bocephus, and Willie!!
Classic. Stunned the good ole boys. Super talented and a great person. Thanks for sharing!!!
He is my favorite singer off all time 35 years listen to his music your new albums is the greatest I live you Hank
I love you hank
No auto-tune necessary.
Hell yah!!! This song hits me right down in my core…..😢

Yeah I liked my own comment
@@TomtheloggerAgeedont worry i got you
I got you Tom
What a killer he was.
Room full of legends and he can perform, imitate, and get them laughing
Hank Jr was an extraordinary man among extraordinary men
The real question is who's gonna fill there shoes
Jason Aldean, Toby Keith and a bunch of other crap and our memories.
No one these days
Sturgil Simpson and Tyler Childers are a good start.
As Vince Gill once said "It's my belief that they don't make those shoes anymore."
@@sigogglin and Jamey Johnson
Willie look like he hit the bong, joint, and blunt right seconds before they panned to him😂
Im guessing thats not the first time Hank Jr impersonated George Jones!! Great!!

Today would have been my dad's 72 birthday and I still remember him playing Hank jr. Can't hear him without thinking about my Dad, God I miss him.

You just can’t help but smile when you listen to this
To all you pop country kids this was real country
October 2023, still watching this nearly weekly.
Oh the stories that room could tell….
Ill always love hank jr.
thats a real pal there borther

I love how someone laughs when he says im honored to be here
That funny bit at 2:20 --I'm not sure but I'm guessing that was a reference to smoking weed??
Roger Miller is sitting to Hank's right. Roger used to do alot of scatting and vocalese in his songs at comedic points. That's Hank riffing on his style.
You are real sir.
I could listen to Waylon talk anytime.
Thank you Hank!
This song particularly helped me get through the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
That george impression though 😎
I smile everytime I watch this.....which is weekly!
The same people who are still listening in 2024
I can only imagine the energy one would feel sitting in this room live with them, gives me the chills just listening to it on RUclips.
