The ones on the radio can’t. But the spirit of legends is well and alive in people like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, and Colter Wall.
Todd Schneck Mr. Cash never approved of rushmore,nor did he approve of the REPUBLI-CON genocide of the native americans.He sang and spoke his feelings.✌
Excluding Kristofferson, he wrote some good songs but the reality of it is that he was average singer. So many better options musically for the fourth but they chose Kristofferson because they were all good friends with him which I respect.
Jail birds, non-conformists, pot smokers, whiskey drinkers, jobless roadies, irresponsible heathens, give-a- damns, rebels and America's best. God bless them all forever and thanks for being whatever the hell you felt like being.
That's a hell of a version. Legendary moment for real country music. Willie's voice has to be one of the richest and most unique popular music voices of all time. Dude can sing anything.
Cash is something else, and the Highwaymen collaboration was sheer genius - it was all about nostalgia - we will never see their likes again. The Highwaymen!
Lynn Van Devander agree my asks me the same thing and I say country music will never be the way it used to be. When you hear real country if it's not hitting the heart or leaving tears in ones eyes, it just isn't country my friend...😉
My father went to work in the oil fields of South Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico after Vietnam. He would often tell stories to my mother of the crazy singing helicopter pilot (A former Vietnam helicopter pilot) who would fly him to and from the oil rigs, And speak of his dreams to go to Hollywood and become famous. One day the pilot up and left South Louisiana. Years later my mother talked my father into going to see a love story called a star is born starring Barbra Streisand and who else but that crazy singing helicopter pilot Kris Kristofferson. From the Vietnam helicopter pilot to standing on stage performing one of the greatest country songs of all time he has truly lived the American story. God bless him and all the men who fought to build this nation
Covid-19 is not what you think it is. It's not just one virus just as AIDS was presented to us. They were concocted from other diseases it's a scam. Jon Rappoport investigated it and blew the whistle.
Anyone born at a time where you were fortunate enough to hear this for the very first time and still appreciate it today, you are a blessed human being. Rest in eternal peace Waylon and Johnny.
I have never been a huge country fan, but these four men are legends. This song will always have a special place in my heart, as it reminds me of my grandfather, and has all four of his favorite artists
I’m not sure that in the last century there’s been a male collaboration the equal of these four. The tree tenors were great, these four are legendary. Country music died not long after The Highwaymen disbanded. This will forever be as good as it gets. Magical!
Btw, Willie Nelson has one of thr most classic unique voices in all of music history. He is like a 57 Chevy, absolute golden classic. NOBODY could open the vocals on this amazing song like Willie. 👏😎
I gotta say, Waylon and Johnny put the most into singing this song every time. They bring out way more emotion than the other two. not to say they arent good, they are. But those two seem to really get into it.
I was at this concert. Johnny Cash's appearance was not announced beforehand; but was also not unexpected. Best as I recall, close to midnight the man in black cast his shadow on the darkened stage and the first chords rang out. Then I knew, I was witnessing history. Unfortunately, I forget the name of the pretty lass from Texas who was seated to my right. My friends sang well that night.
I love these men. From the bottom of my heart,I love them. They'll always be in my life,whether they're living amongst us or gone from our visible world. I just broke down and cried.
The story of how Kris Kristofferson met Johnny Cash is unbelievable. He commandeered a helicopter from the National Guard, flew it to Johnny's house, landed on the front lawn and handed him a demo tape. No wonder they became good friends.
That is not how they met. He did fly the helicopter to Johnny's house but they first met at a Nashville recording studio. Kris was there to give him a tape. Johnny liked it but never recorded any of Kris's songs. That's when Kris took the helicopter to his house.
There was a time when people performed without electronics. They actually played instruments and sang without computer aid or just lip sync. That is a long lost art.
This song always takes me back to being a young boy. My grandparent had just bought a new 1985 Lincoln towncar and they had the highway men cassette and I remember constantly asking them to play it. I was only 6. To this day Cash and Waylon hold a special place in my heart.
Greetings from Finland. I know nuthin about country, RUclips suggested The Higwaymen to me and gosh is this wonderful. They have touched me dearly and now I get country.
Outlaws who ever got the recognition as a group. Oh my god they're great. Even though Kris Kristopherson is an actor now. I knew he wrote songs, but had no idea he sang THAT good. Music will always be his home
I asked myself that very same question the first time I heard it. :) In my opinion Jimmy Webb has to be ranked among the best American songwriters of all time.
Kris is the Best. WAYY Under appreciated, wrote so many of the songs the others get credit for, and is the only one really playing his guitar in this song! All were great but Kris is just like the rest of us farm boys at heart. My favorite band.
I felt much resonance when Waylon takes the mic and the dam builders. That's my favorite verse from it all. They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound....
I literally cry when I hear these four men. By this time in their lives the best years were behind them but, they still put it out there. From each you can hear the pain, loves lost, the unfulfilled dreams, the heartbreak. I am in awe of their talent.
My mother had this album on vinyl and would play her country records all day, everyday. Gave me an ear for REAL country. Not this stuff they play today they call country. I swear... when Willie is gone too, my heart is going to break.
I love how Johnny Cash introduces them. My musical comrades. The baby face Willie Nelson is the only one alive now. Beautiful lyrics with great men to sing it. Such a classic and haunting song.🥰
The Travelling Wilburys of Country
Willie the lone Highway Man now.....RIP to all the others. I was at this show. So glad I went!
@@northendvintage what would’ve happened if Waylon never gave up his seat on the plane to Jiles
Todays “country singers” can’t hold a candle to these 4 legends. ❤️
Charley Crocket is building his legendary status as we speak.
There are a few good ones.
amen to that sister
The ones on the radio can’t. But the spirit of legends is well and alive in people like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, and Colter Wall.
Try Brandy Carlile
I wish this song was 20 minutes long,
I wish it never ended
I wish you guys knew what replay was ;)
jk
great lyrics, great music and immortal johnny cash !

Mount Rushmore of country!
Todd Schneck Merl Haggard should be there too.
Afterburner and Marty Robbins

Mr. Cash never approved of rushmore,nor did he approve of the REPUBLI-CON genocide of the native

Just wish they wouldn't go, but they will one by one. But they will never be gone.
Excluding Kristofferson, he wrote some good songs but the reality of it is that he was average singer. So many better options musically for the fourth but they chose Kristofferson because they were all good friends with him which I respect.
I would have loved the chance to see them live. What incredible history and talent they all had and have. The best of the best.❤

JC served no more than two nights at a time in jail. he had no legal convictions against him!

One of those four completed Ranger school, flew helicopters in the US Army and retired a Captain.
That's a hell of a version. Legendary moment for real country music. Willie's voice has to be one of the richest and most unique popular music voices of all time. Dude can sing anything.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
@@pharb69 yes
Two words.. "Travelling Willburys"
These four men are the four horsemen of country music
This so epic, all them together
Absolutely beautiful song.
my son always ask me why I don't like country. the "country" he listens to will never be this kind of country! 4 of the best right here!
Aint that the truth!
Lynn Van Devander you got that right! I am 30 years old and this is my kind of music!
My nieces told me this is not country because they listen to the stuff on the radio nowadays almost gave me a heart attack hearing that
Lynn Van Devander agree my asks me the same thing and I say country music will never be the way it used to be. When you hear real country if it's not hitting the heart or leaving tears in ones eyes, it just isn't country my friend...😉

If Kris ever writes his memoirs that’ll be one epic book
That’s a crazy and emotional story. Wow, the world is an exciting place❤️👍.
Thank you🦬
Fantastic story 👍
What a life he has lived for sure!
Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings are sorely missed. But by God, Willie's still alive and going strong and he'll outlive this damned COVID-19, too!
Starre Labell don’t forget kris kristopherson maam
From your lips to God's ears!
Amen
And Kris

One of the greatest performances ever. Willie is the only one left standing at 91 years old.
How tf Willie Nelson look the exact same age in 1993 compared to now.
ikr
He looked similar in 85 lol
It's called cannibas, Mary Jane does the body good
you‘re so right! Incredible, not only a highwayman, but a real highlander :-), greetings from Germany!
@@bine2683 hi
Hard to believe this was 30 years ago. RIP Johnny and Waylon. May Kris and Willie live forever!
I know, makes me start wondering how much time I have left.
❤🥹 Johnny e Waylon já partiram para outro plano.Mas vendo essa apresentação,as esquecemos.
Times fly 🥺
Their music will!
Kris is gone now. We have one left with us. RIP Kris
I was there. Champagne Illinois, 85. Wow

I feel that way about Waylon's voice.
I gotta say, Waylon and Johnny put the most into singing this song every time. They bring out way more emotion than the other two. not to say they arent good, they are. But those two seem to really get into it.

Good music is good music regardless of the genre.
You have to listen to rock and roll
Fok the punc. I give you dis
En
I generally don't listen to this kind of music, but this is a masterpiece
Yes. Sadly it’ll never happen again.
Never found any song beytter in my life teqrs always while listening
Just discovered this song and the Highwaymen this summer (2022) thanks to the streaming service I was listening to. Pure AWESOMENESS!
Sad that 2022 is when you discovered this masterpiece, but hey at least you found it.
The legends
Kris, Johnny and Waylon are gone. Willie is the only Highwayman left. They will all ride again...
It doesn't get any better than this. Rip Johnny, Waylon and Kris. 😥
I believe Waylon Jennings has one of the greatest voices in the history of country music.
most love and great respect to nelson...NS
You put four great artists on stage together and you get exactly what you'd expect, magic!
They'll be back again, and again, and again.
Kris Kristofferson: R.I.P..True icon! Beautiful this sound with the 4 of them: all legends!
This song reminds me of my Dad, I miss him so much. :'(
Juanita Thomas my dad loved country music i bought him a Slim Dusty cds before he passed he would play them all day
Im Sorry for your loss
Juanita Thomas your dad
Much respect. I wish more women were like you.
Rip 😭
My dad loved this song. 😢rip dad 1954-2023. These were his four favourite country singers
I was at this concert. Johnny Cash's appearance was not announced beforehand; but was also not unexpected. Best as I recall, close to midnight the man in black cast his shadow on the darkened stage and the first chords rang out. Then I knew, I was witnessing history. Unfortunately, I forget the name of the pretty lass from Texas who was seated to my right. My friends sang well that night.
jaysus.
awesome
Willi Toews bruh I’m jealous
Shoeless Joe Jackson Maury didn’t determine a god damn thing. Believe it or not, an era existed where you could meet women in public.
What month was this concert I was born in November of this year 1993
They will always be alive, living on The Highways in the universe.
I love these men. From the bottom of my heart,I love them. They'll always be in my life,whether they're living amongst us or gone from our visible world.
I just broke down and cried.

That is not how they met. He did fly the helicopter to Johnny's house but they first met at a Nashville recording studio. Kris was there to give him a tape. Johnny liked it but never recorded any of Kris's songs. That's when Kris took the helicopter to his house.

So Special....These greats together! RIP Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. Kris & Willie, carry on the legend of the Highwayman.

Never gets any better than true country music. And that's what these 4 men were. History to be remembered for all times.
All LEGENDS in their own time...!
Four legends that will never be forgotten. They are the absolute best. This is real music. Not today’s trash.
One of the greatest lineups of pure talent EVER!! Most awesome.
Blues. I agree with you. I love this song, wish it was longer. 🎶👏🤗🐾
These amazing men will always be around...
Can you imagine being as cool as Cash? The Man among men.
There will never be so much talent in four men, ever, than these.
There was a time when people performed without electronics. They actually played instruments and sang without computer aid or just lip sync. That is a long lost art.
This song always takes me back to being a young boy. My grandparent had just bought a new 1985 Lincoln towncar and they had the highway men cassette and I remember constantly asking them to play it. I was only 6. To this day Cash and Waylon hold a special place in my heart.
Love❤ this song n these guys. Wonderful song. RIP Waylon and Johnny.
2022 there will NEVER be another group like this😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
I will miss you forever Mr Cash. I wish I were old enough to see you live when you were still with us.
I know how you feel. But I did see him in twice. Now I think I didn't appreciate those events enough.
Same!!
Greetings from Finland. I know nuthin about country, RUclips suggested The Higwaymen to me and gosh is this wonderful. They have touched me dearly and now I get country.
Hi, from the Rez. 🪶🦬🪶
Perhaps one of the best songs ever. My God the talent of those four legends.
Who would be dumb enough to to dislike this awesome song?
I never was into Country music before BUT this is an awesome tune with a great bunch of Artists
I love this song,I could play this song two thousand times on the weekend,
This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it... Geniuses at work here... never again will we see an act like this..
Great treat right here, awesome.
I JUST found out about this piece yesterday and have kept it on repeat since. JESUS, what a song.
A Masterpiece indeed
He already knows the song .
And again and again….
What men, what music...Waylon epitomized country music rebel ...what a hunk of a man
Such a powerful song and a perfect group. RIP the Highwaymen
I considered this a level above country. This is soul/blues/gospel with some country in it. This is just real music.
Outlaws who ever got the recognition as a group. Oh my god they're great. Even though Kris Kristopherson is an actor now. I knew he wrote songs, but had no idea he sang THAT good. Music will always be his home
When Jimmy Webb wrote this wonder if he had these guys in mind do it? It's like it was written just for them...got to be the best song ever written.
I asked myself that very same question the first time I heard it. :) In my opinion Jimmy Webb has to be ranked among the best American songwriters of all time.
Haha thats what I was just thinking
I wonder if he realized just how awesome of a song it would end up being with these guys singing it.
the aspect of reincarnation seriously enhances the song
Pure Americana at it's best, NOTHING can compare
The greatest country music group of all time no question! Classic.
Much love and respect from a high way woman. 😀😀
Il never stop listening to this again and again and again 👍
This is my most favourite song ,, it really explains this life❤️
Kris is the Best. WAYY Under appreciated, wrote so many of the songs the others get credit for, and is the only one really playing his guitar in this song! All were great but Kris is just like the rest of us farm boys at heart. My favorite band.
And I'm not even sure he's playing the right chords
I remember Kris from Convoy, the Rubber Duck.
I listen to this full volume
Willie Nelsons voice is the best i've ever heard
I felt much resonance when Waylon takes the mic and the dam builders. That's my favorite verse from it all. They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound....
Respect from Russia, friends! To hell with politicians, wars and strife! This is the kind of music that should unite people!!!
You r right bruh!!!party till you puke!! Peace no strife! LET it all hang out!!!
RIP KK.
And then there was one...
This song always makes me tear up😭 I love them💕
I am so glad I saw them in person! These men are all legends in music! This group is one of a kind, never to be repeated.
I'll be back again and again and again. Great lyrics sang by a great bunch of guys. Country cool and outlaw cool.
You'll never again see such a collection of icons performing together.
Also thanks to, Jimmy Webb for writing a fantastic piece of music. 😊
The Highwayman: a real miracle of talent and guts. I know all their songs and I cherish each...
I literally cry when I hear these four men. By this time in their lives the best years were behind them but, they still put it out there. From each you can hear the pain, loves lost, the unfulfilled dreams, the heartbreak. I am in awe of their talent.
i love willie´s voice
The best group of all time love u guys betsy
Love when Johnny goes “I fly a starship” everyone cheers
4 true legends once in a livetime

El guitarrista que puntea es un fenómeno
all these men gonna be remembered for this till the end of time
Waylons voice warms my soul every time loves these guys way to much it hurts
The VERY BEST of country music!!!
I love how Johnny Cash introduces them. My musical comrades. The baby face Willie Nelson is the only one alive now. Beautiful lyrics with great men to sing it. Such a classic and haunting song.🥰
Kris is still alive
I never expected to enjoy a song in this genre, but what an awesome song.
Only the highwayman is left; Godspeed Kris Kristofferson....keep on sailing.
