It's 2024, 22 years since he's been gone, people are still listening to his music, watching videos about him, interested in details of his life and talking about his contributions to the world of music. I'd say those are some pretty legendary achievements. I'm sure that would be something that would make him proud. Imagine being gifted with that sort of talent. What a great life he lived doing what he was born to do. ❤=w=❤
I’m young and a part of gen z and Waylon is one of my favorite artists, I loved how rebellious he was and hate how all the artists of my time are system conformists
I got to see Waylon perform at Lollapalooza '95. He was sandwiched between the bands Rancid and The Ramones, playing for a crowd of alt-rock twenty-somethings. Waylon's first song went ok with the crowd, then he did "Always Been Crazy", crowd warmed up a little more. Then he did "Good Ol' Boys", and the crowd went bananas. Crowdsurfing, you name it. Waylon said to the crowd at the end of his set, "I hope ya'll enjoyed yourselves, I don't know if ya'll know what to make of me, but I thank you for listening just the same." What a legend.
I lost a lot of respect for Metallica when I learned they were the sole reason free access music went away.... I gained more than I had before when I learned they were the sole reason Waylon was at Lollapalooza 95.
these guys would all disagree no such thing as 'the best' they're all good in thier own right johnny cash willie nelson the highway men, no drugs no rock n roll....
I’m 25 as of 2024 and completely am down with way more. I’ll be sitting after a long day working and Waylon comes on and I’m snapped out instantly !! The best 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Waylon has helped a lot of hard workers that come home stressed out .... Something that Country does best..... Keep your chin up young man. God speed and best wishes. ✌️🤙🇺🇸
If you wanted an outlaw, you got it with Waylon. If you wanted TRUE country songwriting, you got it with Waylon. If you wanted a very talented singer and entertainer, you got it with Waylon. How many more boxes need to be checked? He’s the TRUE American country music outlaw that sang about what he knew and I’ll forever be grateful for this gentleman. Hats off to you hoss
I got to see him at Lolapallooza '95. He had his son Shooter playing with him, who was 13 or 14 at the time. Waylon was older then, but he still sounded great and the alt-rock 20-somethings there liked him, gave him a great reception. Favorite song: "Good Ol Boys", crowd surfing in full effect. Dude was a legend.
At the time I posted this I had not started getting into restoring the audio aspect of the videos on my channel. I just posted them exactly as they were in my collection. However, in the past year I've been correcting audio levels. I sure wish that RUclips would allow us to upload a file to replace the original once we have posted it, but I don't see any way around just having to post it again when I correct the audio level. If I do that then I will put the new url in the description of this video.
If there is king of country music legend he the king of country music i love his voice and i still do nobody will ever have a voice like him Waylon could have sang rocknroll .and he was just as good as anyone who knows how to play guitar player he new how to play like the time Johnny cash needed a guitar player and some how Johnny cash told waylon you don't know who he could guitar player waylon said i know one Johnny cash said who he said me he said waylon i can't get you do that waylon would not be in the spot light but that didn't make anny different to him he played for Johnny cash said one thing he never for got that So there a friend waylon Jennings johnny cash and willie Nelson. See waylon told what was on his mind if nobody like it that was there problem he was a honest man and told the truth about him self .jessic was the person for him i think waylon would have died if it was not for her thay were ment for each other i listen to waylon Jennings pretty well every day and willie Nelson hank Williams jr merle haggard i guess i just one of the country boy that i always listen to theos bad ass country music legends of country music not the tractor rap pop garbage that on country radio station today. I dont give a dam if i hurt people feeling of what on country radio station today Nashville CMA don't know nothing about real country music to day just plain garbage and i really don't care who a country singer .whst i say about the pop music it not country music may 6 2021.by the way happy mother's day sunday.happy mother day to jessie colter Jennings enjoy your day.
Waylon was the original outlaw artist. His style was pure , raw, and had never been heard or seen in country music. He paved the way for today's country and rock artists. A true rock star and hell raiser . Thank you Mr. Jennings for the entertainment and hard working ways.
Everyone in America who gets to record their music and have control over the music owes a big thank you. If there isn’t a street named for him in Nashville, there ought to be. Just like in Littlefield.
The Man!! He taught boys of the 70s that were the teens of the 80s how to be SOUTHERN MEN!! His sound was a COUNTRY MANS SOUND!! God bless you Waylon, till we meet at Jesus's Feet. You made it right with Him at the end. Thank God. And thank you Waylon🤠
He passed feb 13th 2002 of complications from type 2 diabetes,i discovered him watching the dukes on friday nights,the theme song caught my ear and yelled yeehah when i heard the song,Rest in eternal peace waylon,your music will live beyond forever
When Waylon Jennings passed away I cried so much I will never forget that moment God bless you and your never forget something like that if you do you ant got one country bone
You know, I took Waylon's passing harder than Cash's. That kinda let me know how much his music meant to me growing up. I can hear a song like Amanda or Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys and be transported to a rodeo my dad would be roping at when I was just a short little fart. The sounds and smells all come back in an instant. That's powerful medicine.
I loved Waylon. I would go see him when he would come to the Bay Area. Almost got to shake his hand at a concert at the circle Star in San Carlos California. The closest I ever got to him. I still love Waylon. I put my little dog Sophie in the car and travel 200 miles and I got Waylon singing and playing to me. Alway love Waylon. One of my sons went to his grave and got a picture and sent it to me. Now That son can play like Waylon. But he is shy so I don’t get to here him much.
This is such an interesting documentary. It's really interesting how country music has changed over the years. However to some extent not a lot has changed. Even today, the few large record labels that still exist often significantly control their artists.
Jessi is a truly beautiful woman. Makeup no makeup shes a drop dead beauty and seems to be the most patient woman in the world. Even as shes grown older she keeps her looks
Jessie just a good person, he absolutely hit one out of the Park when he met her, and had the sense to marry and be good to her. *She's a Real and Lady.*
Waylon would’ve been a great rock n roll artist. He brought that to country music. His music has always had that rock n roll spirit. He was the Elvis of country music. But Waylon was cooler than Elvis.
The first concert I went to was Neewollah 1990. It was my 10th birthday, and it was Marty Stuart, Waylon Jennings, and Jessi Colter. It was a helluva show, especially for Independence, KS. :)
His son Terry told a different version of the plane crash. He said that because the Big Bopper was sick Waylon told Big Bopper he would give him his seat on the plane. Terry also said that the reason Waylon did this is because the Big Bopper was from Texas and Texas boys stick together.
*FUN FACTOID: Waylon and Willie wrote a song called "Write Your Own Songs." This song speaks volumes about how the duo felt about the Nashville record executives.*
When Waylon renegotiated with Neil Rechen, His autobiography tells a different story about when their in the office waiting for the first one to talk. It says that they were all quiet when Waylon gets up and walks out. Jerry or Chet asked where Waylon was going and Neil said,. "Waylon's mad. No telling what he might do. I guess it's over." And that's when RCA caved. Neil asked Waylon where he went. Waylon said I had to have a piss, and Neil said, "well, that was a 25,000$ piss! Lol. Now, my question to you is: who's telling the truth? I pride myself on country music trivia and I don't want to be wrong! Please let me know my
They played all of each other's hits. The biggest hit as a group was probably Highwayman which is a cool song about reincarnation that has 4 verses so they each take a verse. There aren't any songs written by all 4 of them but Kris and Willie along have written enough songs for a lifetime of concerts. Johnny has written 1500 songs and recorded about 600 of them.
Right after they tell about Waylon, running up and down the fire escape, there’s a short clip from a live performance, and Waylon sings “Women women women, they got all I need to live” what is the song called? Thanks for answers :) Rip ol´Hoss
You realize just how far ahead and how much BETTER (BY FAR) Waylon is than anything that’s come around since when you hear Trick Pony and Montgomery Gentry sing in this show. It’s like hearing cats dying versus anything Waylon has ever done, regardless of how F’d up on coke or pills. He’s just a dang legend. Timeless legend.
He became a legend, that's far from blowing it. People are still listening to his music and talking about him 22 years after his death. I'd say that's a pretty successful artistic achievement.
The audio on this is TERRIBLE.. if I paired my Bluetooth ear buds maybe I could finally struggle through. Frustrating because CMT & other legacy channels either don’t exist or worse are insane zombies of the simple common sense initials these channels used to represent & the always fascinating artists they presented, was excited to watch something that used to respect viewers 1000% more than any of the sell out cable channels now. I wish ppl would boycott these sewer rat channels along w/ MTV & the like, wild no one seems reminiscent about the older interesting programming. MTV, is nit MUSIC tv it’s Moron tv, wild, they don’t have ANYTHING that concerns the topic, like anything that resembles music.

Fantasy line up, throw in some Coe and Sr. and Clash, we're golden
The best country music artist ever, always loved Waylon Jennings.
Oulaw country music. The real deal is Waylon, Willie, Merl, later on Dwight and Steve Earle.
these guys would all disagree no such thing as 'the best' they're all good in thier own right johnny cash willie nelson the highway men, no drugs no rock n roll....
@@MelchizedekKohen
Where did you get the "no drugs" part? LOL
Love that you threw Steve Earle in there, he is so under credited with how important he is to country music. Couldn't have said it better myself
@@matthewburrows4359Dwight was the first music I heard and has been my favorite since.

Young man you have yourself some great taste in music!
Waylon has helped a lot of hard workers that come home stressed out .... Something that Country does best..... Keep your chin up young man. God speed and best wishes. ✌️🤙🇺🇸
He has always been the greatest he still is. I'm glad I got to see him in concert . I loved his music then and still love it today .
the king of country music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new kids in country just don’t cut it
Never. Theyre shit.
Whey Jennings
Whey sucks
Amen to that
It has everything to do with your raisin
Jennings and Cash....two very distinctive voices and talents that will Never be duplicated of forgotten !

I wish I was able to see him alive! I was born in 1998 and man he sure helps me get through some deep and tough times

Back when CMT aired the good stuff.

Now it's ancient aliens
He’s got the best voice there ever was in country music! Just unreal and it’s still true in 2022.

My Dad still talks about seeing Waylon in Coolidge AZ at the Galloping Goose bar and of course JD’s 🤟🏼✌🏼
He passed feb 13th 2002 of complications from type 2 diabetes,i discovered him watching the dukes on friday nights,the theme song caught my ear and yelled yeehah when i heard the song,Rest in eternal peace waylon,your music will live beyond forever
This is country music from a true legend never be another Waylon
When Waylon Jennings passed away I cried so much I will never forget that moment God bless you and your never forget something like that if you do you ant got one country bone
I was 7 when he died. But the recent loss of Toby Keith made me cry
Love you Waylon. You are missed 🙏🌹
You know, I took Waylon's passing harder than Cash's. That kinda let me know how much his music meant to me growing up.

Was the same thing with me when Dwight died.

Hi, prettyface, i know this is like a dream to you.Thank you for being a fan
Still my all time#1 favorite artist
I saw Waylon at the Valley Forge Music fair in Devon, Pa., in the fall of 1993. Tammy Wynette was the opener- great gig!
This is such an interesting documentary. It's really interesting how country music has changed over the years.
However to some extent not a lot has changed. Even today, the few large record labels that still exist often significantly control their artists.
Man I wish they had filmed or recorded his appearance at Max’s Kansas City.
Old country music is the best. ❤
One of my Musical Heroes
He is the best singer ever.
AUDIO IS FIXED. Yay
Jessi is a truly beautiful woman. Makeup no makeup shes a drop dead beauty and seems to be the most patient woman in the world. Even as shes grown older she keeps her looks
I seen him in Antigo wis he sang his hit Only Daddy that will walk the Line he killed it best ever
Jessie just a good person, he absolutely hit one out of the Park when he met her, and had the sense to marry and be good to her. *She's a Real and Lady.*
A Legend for sure
He will FOREVER be the BEST ‼️
Waylon would’ve been a great rock n roll artist. He brought that to country music. His music has always had that rock n roll spirit. He was the Elvis of country music. But Waylon was cooler than Elvis.
Nobody was cooler than Elvis.
And nobody was cooler than Waylon.

el más grande, el más auténtico. Waylon Jennings.
I played dice with him when I was a little kid. 😊

thanks let's all of hear waylon sang Good Hearted Women
Buddy Holy flew so Waylon could soar... Rock and roll did just fine without Buddy. Country *needed* Waylon Jennings.
I saw him in the "Nashville Rebel", bought the album and every one since.
*FUN FACTOID: Waylon and Willie wrote a song called "Write Your Own Songs." This song speaks volumes about how the duo felt about the Nashville record executives.*
Love that song
thanks God loves you #1
I hope um not the only one who listened to the cast love that song

Thank you 💖💖😊
Remember this tough "old hoss" calling me every Christmas season Wishing me Happy Holidays along with Jessi.
This is a good one!!

But dukes of hazzard was 1978?
It came on TV in 1979.

Yes, it is "Waymore's Blues Part II". Here is a link to the studio version produced by Don Was. ruclips.net/video/LZLKHdsMg-0/видео.html
