Merle Haggard was the greatest country singer in the world and always will be rest in peace Merle love from a very big big fan from Scotland
I saw both Merle and George Jones in their old age, at that point George was much better. Earlier I can’t say, George was less likely to show up though, lol🍻
I Was So Fortunet To Be The Audio Producer On This Fantastis Show In 1980 At Anahiem Statium Dan Shepherd
Those guitar licks r only MERLE HAGGARD specialists..unmatched even today n its 2023. 4ever l❤❤
Without question, Merle was the GREATEST all-around country music artist/talent to ever walk the face of the Earth. Period. Singer, songwriter, musician, band leader, impressionist. It's a race for SECOND place. Because there's Merle.....and then there's EVERYBODY else.
American music I'm not sure if we will ever see someone like this again in our lifetime but he was a 1 hell of a story teller that the common man could relate to. God Bless Hag !!!

Totally agree
I agree. You might like Tyler Childers. He’s an incredible singer songwriter. It’s hard to compare someone to the The Hag.
he is one of the very best i love all of his music and its is good to see his son's carrying on his music vinnie from Dublin City Ireland 🇮🇪
Epitomized the American man, God bless the Hag😻
Unreal- how did we go from this solid country gold to the absolute garbage being pushed on us today? This is music! 🍻
They turned country music into pop music it's all party music now
Couldn’t say it any better. There is no more country music
there is still good country music most of it just aint on the radio
My brother was at this concert! But now my brother's in heaven listening to the hagg!
I was at this concert....the people on the bleachers were rock in it and felt like the stadium was going to fall down....his voice was amazing and everybody knew they were witnessing greatness...even Willie couldn't believe it!
When & where was this concert. Looks like a great time
I wished I was there
@@elliothagen9874 u can't read?
I was lucky enough to be at this concert as well , the crowd went bonkers when Willie came running out of the 1st base dugout.
I was there too!
Merle and I we’re together for 10 years. I produced his concerts and it was great working with him. A genius and a great friend. Bob Eubanks
OmG !! Bob thank you so much,all world class talents have WORLD CLASS PRODUCERS behind them!! Times that I was down in the ditch of life,this music was medicene to sustain me !! We'd be poor as hell mentally'y without these great poeple,Lead Belly ,Arlo Guthire & MERLE HAGGARD !!!long may they live !!!
Good memories Aussie Jim Down Under.
Remember you well Bob! Remember you Bringing Merle on at his concerts. & "The Newlywed Game"! Good to hear from you!
When music was music, nothing better than Merle!!
Merle Haggard the man and truly the king of real country music. Long live the man and his music.
My Dad and I sure did love Merle! We would sit on back porch in the dark, I was the record changer, we sang together, loved those nights! Sure do miss them, lost my Dad in 2005!
Yep! We did too. My dad had the 8 tracks, which would play for hours! 😅
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
When I was much younger, me and 8 or 10 of my friends and I would jump on the Motorcycles and go anywhere we had to go to see the Hag in Concert. We chased Merle all over the Western States over the years. Thank you Merle for all of the Good Times... God Bless You Buddy !!!
Just doesn't get any better than this! I come back to this video over and over again over the years!
😄😄I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 the song but when last did you play it..
So tell me friend😊 where are you from?
@@josephkurt2080ciao Joseph!🙋😍😘💘🍀
That voice, that band, that sound, those songs, that crowd, that atmosphere!! AMAZING!!
That soulful sound.
@@beverlybryant5994 Hello. How are you doing?
U reckon they wer drinkin cold beer
I was blessed see Merle perform multiple times and he was a once in a lifetime singer, songwriter and musician and performer. RIP MAESTRO!!!
Merle Haggard, and Shelley West was my first concert in Tulsa Oklahoma at the ORU Mabee Center 1985. Then I was blessed to get to see him again at the Floating Amphitheater in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1991
Merle is the one who makes me feel american without being one; who makes me move from my town to a small village; who makes me feel a fugitive in my dream despite of my respect for law in real life... Dear Hagg, I wish I could give you a Hug ...
Meryl Haggard and Bonnie were brilliant
So sad their gone but brilliant their music lives on RIP keep singing in Heaven
He sure was born to sing ...oh yes
Merle Haggard will always be one of my favorites. Love his voice...and he was always so handsome to look at as well! 😄💕💕♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

What a beautiful song! Winderful tune, great words, makes such
emotion, real feelings, sung by my favorite singer Merle Haggard!
I love to listen to Merle.I listen to him alot .One of my favorite songs is Farmers daughter.

If I could only choose one country singer it will always be Haggard! I just love every song
Best country singer / songwriter/ poet for all us working men and women
One of the greats, lot of memories. Thanks🤠🍀
What a great concert merle may our god bless you always
Never be another like him. He could sing, write and play at a level no one could equal. And props to Bonnie Owens. Merle said she made him a star.
I started playing acoustic guitar maybe 10 yrs ago.Never realized Merle had so many great songs. Love playing them Just like all the folks are saying .There's Waylon Willie Hank Jr.Alan Jackson Mr.Strait Vince Gill and too many other who are great.Then there's Merle.
You forgot Randy Travis
All those years ago and it sounds better than anything on the radio today.
voxxe - Minecraft!
I agree - the new stuff is "New Country" yuck
voxxe - Minecraft! Amen! Met the man.
Amen!!!
Absolutely!
I had the honor to see him in Watsonville, California in 1983. He was amazing. A true legend forever ❤
What a fantastic song. Theirs no one better than Merle!
Check out Radney Foster's version of this song. It is pretty awesome.
To @jeffreyk5734. That’s a nice version of the song. I like the pedal steel👌✌️
@@KyleStansfeld-zi6gc Glad you liked it. I've often wondered if Radney Foster was actually a reincarnated Buddy Holly, or maybe he just wanted some people like me to think that???
To some degree I see that. Some of his facial expressions. It a shame we couldn’t see Buddy Holy mature, and make more music. He was a genius. We owe a lot to him! I don’t know if you like The Flying Burrito Brothers.? They loved Merle Haggard! Gram Parsons was also one of those genius’s that left us too early. Their version of Sing Me Back Home, and The Bottle Let Me Down , were a great homage to Merle, and Country music.✌️
@@KyleStansfeld-zi6gc Yeah, I've got a couple "Flying Burrito Brothers" live performances saved. Talented group. I'm trying to get somebody to react to Emmylou Harris "Beneath Still Waters". Can't believe that no one has reacted to that yet. Love, Emmylou, but to be honest I saw Lisa Stewert perform this song when she was a regular on Music City Tonight, Her live version from back around 1994 was just incredible, every bit as good as Emmylou's recorded version. I wish that I could find it on RUclips. Lisa was an awesome singer in her own right. Have no idea why she never made it big. Incredible polished Stage Presence and Drop-Dead Gorgeous lady. Never learned what became of her second album that she had half completed and sang a couple of songs from when she came back on the show. To my knowledge, it was never released. Even if the record label folded, which is probably the case, you would have thought she would have been snatched up by someone else pretty quickly.
What great sound for an outdoor concert in 1980! Merle was THE Best!!! I am so thankful for him and his music.
still.....Just Awesome all these years ago....Got to Luv the Hag!!!!
just simply the best
simply fabulous
The best country music singer ever.
Merle was the greatest country musician, singer/song writer that ever graced the stage in THE U.S.A. and the world!!! :-)! :-) :-)
Let's just say he's one of America's dumbest criminals.
You are very correct sir. I've haven't seen a lot of things that smacked me square in the teeth but anything that young man did could put me in a stupor.
You are 150 percent right .amen to that my friend .he is so miss .
He sure was . Their is some people who say allen jackson is the best he is prouble the best singing today .but not the best that their ever was no he was not . Merl haggard was the best that their was . Say people what you want but he was the best .
@@mylesgeronimo4976 it sure did pay off. Look what he got to do when he came out .no one else when came out could do whT he done did they .mm
I’m 25 and my biggest regret in my life so far is not seeing Merle live before he died, no matter how old he would have been. There will never be another one like him. My band gets together every weekend to play his songs. I wish I’d been alive during this time.
@David Owen You think you have regrets. I'm pushing sixty and spent most of my life listening to rock music, buying into the stereotype that Country Music was all about crying in your 🍺 and your woman leaving you for another guy (okay, into my thirties anyhow). I just started getting into Country big-time in the past few years and Merle Haggard this year. Boy, I missed out on a lot!
Wow Merle making Anaheim Stadium rock! Literally!
such a great voice, no one will ever top him.
Great and venerable Merle Haggard and his good and lively band. Great country songs of memorable times that will never come back. I really miss it all. Thank you so much Merle for the beautiful and inspiring songs that made us so good and happy.
One of my favorite singers. I just love his rich baritone sound with his rich vibrato .
RIP

Had this on cassette we wore it out and it broke. So we went to Walmart drunk got another and headed back to the party. My Pop loved Merle I grew up listening to this music. Makes me think of Pop everytime I hear Merle.
He was one of a kind!! I loved him!

Merle Haggard and the Strangers. So many great musicians in the band. Roy Nichols guitar licks and solo's. Don't get much better than that. I just about wore out my VHS tape of this concert over the years.
Thanks for posting.
This is the strangers with him..but very few give credit 2 Bonnie Owens...his ex wife and back up singer for years..and several songs were written 4 her...and I'm an Owens...this music is family and heart felt
We have Always Love Bonnie Owens Haggard. Loved
Mr Merle Haggard.
We Listen to Them & Noel Lee & Ben Every Night.
WE NEED MORE COUNTRY MUSIC LIKE MERLE HAGGARD THE BEST GOOD OLD DAYS YES LOVE ITTTTTTT R.I.P. MERLE BUT YOUR MUSIC LIVES ONNNNNN
His son Ben, seems promising and is touring with some of his family.
Through a friend I discovered Haggard Back in the early 70s. I’m a guitarist and it was a Roy Nichols solo that got my Attention. To this day I don’t know why I never saw them live and now he’s gone. RIP HAGG
I totally agree 👍 with 469. I remember riding with my father and if the vehicle had a radio it was tuned to a country station,or,at home as well. And that's the way it was in 51, and 1950s decade. So go Merle Haggard.
I discovered Merle in 1980. I fell in love with his music then and there was no turning back!
Good country music Noel and Ben Heggard I like this song Awesome
Merle was fabulous that day, just look at the reaction of the crowd. They could not help but want to dance to his great music & that wonderful voice. Even Johnny Paycheck was going wild.LOL!! Thanks for all the work you had to do to post this great moment in the history of country music.
As many times as I’ve heard and watched this, I JUST noticed him in the background for a few seconds.
looks more like a meth tweak to me , or cocaine parkinson's
Amen sir
Yes this one makes the brain and the feet work as one no control from the anything else
paycheck a one hit wonder, allways high on lfe
Now here you have Excellent Singing,, Real music honest to god Country,, Amazing sound from my favourite!!!!!👌
A true legend !!! and this was when country was real and exciting!!!!
I loved Merle, my Dad and I sang his songs sitting on the back porch!
Merle tells us that good music is made with a great voice and great musicians playing along. It is a collective enterprise.
One of the greatest singers.
I was driving down a backroad in Montana when the man on the radio said he died. I drove a little farther and thought about it. Then it kinda hit me what a HUGE impact Merle Haggard had had on my life. The songs, the bars and honky tonks, the dancin' and drinkin', and the ladies. The good times and the bad. There isn't one Merle song that doesn't bring on a flood of memories and feelings. Then I realized I couldn't see the road anymore, and I had to pull over. And there I sat, listening to the tribute songs that DJ was playing for Merle, and me.
No one as good as they are can do any justice to any of merles songs, the songs merle goes are meant for him and him alone. Merles voice NEVER changes ever as he ages, sounds just as good
There will never another Merle Haggard
The one and only
Mighty Merle haggard. A nickname never fit anyone any better
i love how everybody ignores the "for safety purposes please do not dance on the club level" & Merle just keeps 'em jumping and swaying and dancing, u can actually see the level bend up and down!!! 😂😂😂❤
what lovely music!!!
So lucky I was able to see Merle before he died in like 2014, he was awesome, a true road warrior
merle was one of the best of a dying breed. He always played Lead Guitar and Lead Vocals, thats a hell of alot more than most these so called country stars do now days, all they yell,scream, hide behind their electronics because they cant sing to save their lives and consider themselves country because they were a cowboy hat.. RIP Merle

You hit the nail on the head! I couldn't agree more.

Because they wont plat the country legends who made real country music like merle haggard willie Nelson Johnny cash waylon Jennings George strait Keith Whitley hank Williams jr
I just listen to them on cd may 1 2021
Mighty Merle rockin’ the stadium with Bonnie Campbell and Ronnie Reno singing the sound behind the Haggard Sound. Little Shannon Marie Burns you see pictured here, was called home to rest eternally with God in his cradeling arms. Singing with Bonnie and Merle as she loved them. And Roy on that lead.
😄😄I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 the song but when last did you play it.

This is as good as it gets the great Merle Haggard God Bless Him He is in Heaven!
Merle Haggard country legend!
I just posted how much I wish I could have been here! I was little young then and lived in the upper Midwest. I listen to this all the time and even purchased the CD. His voice and essence were so cool!
one hell of a singer! love his music, truly a legend!!!!!

@@sharonkelly3367 Hello. How are you doing?
such a pure voice- one of the best ever I think i'll keep this on repeat for a bit
this was the best I heard Merle and this song! I found my way to him when I was 14 and I think he has a Great Vocie for what he sing's
Got to see him once in concert , in Gainesville fl. In the mid 80s. His singing and band were flawless.
I think he had the best voice of any country singer ever.
real country music at it best.....
One of the best friends I had in my life. That I never met
So well said.
Merle the Pearl! Love his music...
Dam that good country music old country love it
Biff Adams and Paul English my favorite drummers
Bonnie Owens
Roy Nichols
Hag
Biff Roberts
Paycheck was running around there too.
Angels Stadium. Anaheim CA around 82 or 83.
I wonder if he knew how great we thought he was?
I've wondered that a bunch myself!!!!!!
Grady Bledsoe man I love your comment.
I'm sure he did.
I hope so
Not only if he thought it but now I hope he knows we still do.. Can never forget him...
Here in 2019 so awesome! Merle one of the greatest ever, who’s gonna fill their shoes? I love his boys, keeping it real- thanks Marty, Noel and Ben! Noel the running kind... ❤️
