I met Jerry Jeff about 1972 near Boston. He was so cordial. Who'd of thought a New York mountain man would tumble over the cusp of cowboy country. A kind hearted gentleman.
When i was first given Live at Greune Hall, I played it incessantly. for 3 years i listened to nothing but JJW, and he is never far from my go to list. And this song was close to end of tape, and I thought Jerry Jeff was getting drunk as the night progressed. But seeing this, it is just as raunchy, loud and wild. And I don't think Jerry Jeff even drank at this point. Thanks Jerry Jeff. I'm glad you didn't suffer too long, and are in the presence of God right now.
@@foobarmaximus3506 To me, that is the only time I will sin the sin of envy. That sounds wonderful! Of course to me, he was larger than life. But in Texas like you said, it was just a great part of growing up!
@@foobarmaximus3506 The music, the weather, the women! Texas has it all now, being one of the only States where the 2nd amendment will never be dismissed and people believe in the simple, good things in life. I wish I could have been there too!
@@foobarmaximus3506 And that is exactly what Jerry Jeff was singing about! How he found this oasis among a concrete country. And that is how I feel, about 30 miles from Toronto, that I have just a taste of a place I would very much like to go to. Covid is over but my finances remain the same! It is my deepest goal to visit and perhaps live there somehow.
I thought that was an original song by Confederate Railroad, only to find out just now that Jerry Jeff Walker sang it on this show back in 1990! Way to go! Wish he was still alive.
Down Home country music, all the musicians played so great, the piano the lead guitar and the steel guitar were Fantastic, and the singing was TERRIFIC.
Swears like a sailor, which today is Veterans Day! God Bless all that volunteered and especially those, just called to duty. Few remain. My Dad served under, General, George Patton. Old, Blood and Guts! You never complained. Just did your job.
He was from N.Y. Originally. Moved South and more kinda like, Texas. Things grow bigger there! He brought all his trappings along though. A mix of many musical genres.
stumbled across this video & got to watch my ol' friend play lead. Sadly Gary Walker died several years ago in an accident on a ranch in Wyoming. Heckuva musician.
This rocks!!! Beats the hell out of Confederate RR. They turned it into bubble gum. That's Jerrys son playing lead. Bass player looks like Warren Zevon. Used to watch this program every week and had a lot of it on VHS.
That's subjective. They're both great in their own right (and Confederate Railroad's music video is what really raised this song to a new level and brought attention to it that it never would have received otherwise). And no this is not the original. The original was done by its writer Chris Wall. Jerry heard it being played live at a bar in WY and asked if they could show him how to play it. He then recorded his version which was the first version put down on an official record label. But that doesn't make his version any more "original" than Confederate Railroad's version. Neither does it make his version more or less awesome than the version he heard or Confederate Railroad's or his own or anybody else's various live versions. It's just a great song at its very core and it's one that can be altered and played differently live by many bands (and by the same bands in different versions) and it never fails.
how is lyold maines doing that electric guitar solo on his steel that is just awesome and i love it. he had a way to do that and i would like to know how he has to have a pickup on the steel or a electric pedal or something because i have heard steel guitars and they dont just sound like that that is awesome though
LLoyd is Natalie Maynes father [lead singer for The Dixie Chicks] and played with Joe Ely for a long time-i saw him in the early '90's with Terry Allen-he was as nice a guy as you could find.Check out the older Joe Ely albums.
35 yrs. Ago I was in TULSA had a.56'GMC Stepside original but for a BIG SIX 292 engine. Picked up a throb making cowgirl.Filled a. Bota with Jack Daniels..JJW Was playing down town . Had 1 HELL of a good time! Paid for it the next day.A-200 anyone?💘🎼😜👾
friends of mine are going next week to see you all,..Austin Texas i believe, the Corby family, of Oakville Ontario, will be visiting,,.. Wade had his 50th birthday,.. Eric says hello,..
I got turned on to Jerry Jeff in 1976 and from that moment on I was a huge fan…he’s just a classic one of a kind 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
An all time favorite!! My wife just rolls her eyes at me when I sing out loud
So what? It's a clue for HER. Get it?
And my Country Music a little on the Texas side! RIP Jerry Jeff Walker!

This song will never get old, keep rocking.
I am so sad right now. I loved Jerry Jeff Walker

The album is a classic! And seeing him live at Gruene Hall was a great experience! RIP Jerry Jeff Walker
@@kerrymartin7557 That would have been my goal! Bet that was great.

And written by Chris Wall who does a good job singing it as well.
Lloyd Maines plays an awesome Pedal Steel. Blows my mind. Have a great year ya'll.
Natalie's daddy (from the Chicks)
I would kill for a proper high quality version of this performance.
Please don't.
@@margaretfitzgerald7187 No worries. Since one most definitely does not exist I don't think there's anything to worry about.
@@Lincolntowncoupe Phew, that's a relief.
Down Home country music, all the musicians played so great, the piano the lead guitar and the steel guitar were Fantastic, and the singing was TERRIFIC.
Thanks Jerry Jeff,for all the yrs.and musuc.
Jerry, just heard the news, so sorry for your passing.
My your family be comforted-
My prayers to you-
Swears like a sailor, which today is Veterans Day! God Bless all that volunteered and especially those, just called to duty. Few remain. My Dad served under, General, George Patton. Old, Blood and Guts! You never complained. Just did your job.

is Gary Walker , Jerry Jeff’s brother ?!
Sorry to hear that but grateful for good talent he blessed us with
Hey, Gary's my uncle! Came to watch him, too.
@@tweeds2140 It was the perfect lead too.
Damn Great Version! I REALLY DUG the pedal steel near the end! Happy 71st Birthday, jerry Jeff Walker!!
Lloyd Maines on the pedal steel
Hey Jerry Jeff, you are taking me back.
This rocks!!! Beats the hell out of Confederate RR. They turned it into bubble gum. That's Jerrys son playing lead. Bass player looks like Warren Zevon. Used to watch this program every week and had a lot of it on VHS.
One of THE original Texas Troubadours, doing it in his own gonzo style. Miss ya JJW
JJW - So many good times.
Somebody asked me if I remembered that old Confederate Railroad song about trashy women, I was like dude...nevermind.
I LOVE Jerry Jeff....love him
Love me some Jerry Jeff!
I'm not a big country music fan, but I like this.
Heavy eye shadow and eye liner yes. Cool piano playing too.
When JJW was playing strats.. man I miss you brother
Today's country could learn from this song.
RiIP my good friend.
I made the mistake of telling the woman I was seeing that this song made me think of her.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂❤
She had to know you were in love with her. You could always tell her she makes you crazy in the head, sometimes that works.
You too? Been 12 yrs since the divorce. 😢Never looked back 😅
That's a crusade only for the brave.👍😪
They both have their good points. The original has a more driving feel to it, but CR definitely did the song justice with their version.
this verision is better than confedrate railroads version anyday today.
this is the original

Yep! Some just present, perfect! Hell, I'm not, never will be. But, there is that known line! Surprised? OMG! Got this wrong too!
Damn, that was smokin'.
Rest in peace, Jacky Jack!

Saw Lloyd and Terri Hendrix play at a workshop at Old #9 years back...MAN THEY CAN PLAY!!!
I know for a fact Lloyd used an old Jordan Electronics "Boss Tone" distortion/fuzz box with his rig. I'd bet that's how he got that tone.
REST IN PEACE BROTHER........
LOVE THIS!!!!! Love Granny
Getem Jerry North bound on South bound I 5 Oregon 1970s miss ya bro.....

classic good humor tune Jerry Jeff is the master I like my women a tad on the trashy side is better than Garth Brooks I got friends in low places...
Written by Chris Wall. A hit for Confederate Railroad many years later...
👍 sweet tune
I had a sticker on my motorcycle helmet with this on it. 💩
"This song has got more men in trouble with their wives...." Some country D.J. I heard
lead is Jerry's son.
It is not his son, Django, he was too young for this. He's 6'8" now
Goat ropers need love too...
halarious.he looks good too!
Jerry Jeffs son DJANGO....would have been about 12 or 13 when this was done...he has two kids. Django and Jessie Jane
Django is 6 ' 8", big dude. He was singing with his group at Newport, and he joined John Prine, Roger Waters in the final festival song
Oh. Dad Dad Daddy
YES SIR ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!
Old meets Young on the stage.
Me too!
Oh yeah! Too much lipstick & too much rouge & some serious Juke Jointin' fun!
@rockwinkle51 Bob Livingston on bass
JJW!!!
@1955hitman
Watch to the end. It's all there in the credits.
Me Too
RIP Star the cautry
If you met my ex's you'd know that I like my women a little on the trashy side! Shit you may have known one or more of them!
What do they say about you?
Butt kickin'
👍👍
Love the microphone on the amp ??
@RayElser Sorry to hear that
🍻
RIP
My wife frowns when I sing this but my girlfriend smiles.
It's not "a little" it's "a tad".
Confederate Railroad did it,and sang it a "little"-sucked IMHO.
Confederate who? What? huh? This is a JJW song, anything less is, well, less....
@charlesdclimer did Jeery Jeff record thissong?
