![George Carlin: Jammin' in New York [SUB ITA]](/img/1.gif)
George asked "who's gonna fill their shoes?" the answer was absolutely no one. Country doesn't even exist any more.
Try on Tyler Childers, sturgill Simpson, Hayes Carll. There's probably more good country than ever, it is just buried by an ever-deepening layer of crap
Yep, thankfully they left us with endless hits
You just ain't heard the good stuff
I’m not entirely sure if “REAL” COUNTRY is gone, dead, or whatever, BUT … I personally think that all those old country gentlemen have been “MENTORS” for all the modern performers today, whether or not they know it or not‼️♥️M
Empty shoes leave a place for someone else to walk on with those shoes. There’s artist taking those steps , just got to pay attention
I saw Johnny Cash in NYC in 1978 when I was 19 he was standing in front of a building with another guy - I asked him for an autograph and he asked me what I’d do with it … I was so nervous because he was my all time favorite singer - Anyway, he knew I was nervous and started kidding around with me making me feel comfortable - He was a super nice, very big guy and shook my hand telling me to “be careful this city can be a dangerous place” - Amazing man his autograph still hangs on my wall.
Wow, cool,what a memory.👍
I met Waylon in 1982. It was an outdoor event. A security guard asked me if I wanted to see where his bus would arrive? I said, "sure." He took me where these bushes were with a table. The spot was obscure. Sure enough Waylon's bus pulled in & out he came between the bushes. A crowd started to gather. He walked up to me & with his hand extended he said, "Hi there little girl (I was 25 years old), how are you?" I shook his hand, trying to think of something intelligent to say but all that came out was; " I'm fine thank you Mr. Jennings. " Then he tipped his hat & said; "The name's Waylon." From that day on whenever I have been addressed by my last name, I say; " The name's Peggy. " It was a humbling experience. I'm no better than he is was my thought. He was very respectful & kind. Although, it was moment in time it's great memory. Thank you Waylon. Godspeed to you & Johnny & June Cash. 🙏💞🙏
Thanks for sharing. Sounds very nice to have met such a legend. Nice memory🤩 (pardon my poor english, i’m from Norway)
Ms. Peggy, that is one fine story, thank you, Steve
That was an awesome story and I am so jealous lol. i'm 53 and i remember when i was around 16 playing my drum sticks on my dresser to the dukes of hazzard theme song. I was a hugh country music kid even tho i came from a city in NJ well when i finally seen a video of waylon singing the dukes song i was so blown away!!! all these years that was his hand playing the guitar lmao... well since then i was a fan, waylon and willie cant get any better! thanks! walt
@Proud Straight White Christian Conservative ....Yes, they are wonderful. I was a LOT star struck! June, Johnny, & Waylon are sadly missed. TY for commenting.💝
@@stennilsen9584 .....Your English is just fine. It's a great memory. Thank you very much!💝
I never realized till just now what a legend Johnny Cash was. Such a giant of a man but still so humble and approachable. He was one of the all time greats.
He was larger than life since I heard of him in the 60's. Believe he's the only country artist in the RnR HOF.
He broke down a huge barrier between country and rock.
He made it okay to like both.
He defies genre. He's country. He's rock & roll. He's folk. He's music. And he's one of the few artists who owned every single song he covered. Rusty Cage is one of my favorite Soundgarden songs but Johnny and the Heartbreakers killed it. Chris played it Johnny's way at his solo shows.
Johnny Cash was and still is a legend. He had everything. Good looks, a great voice and a desire to entertain us. He came along and rocked the world.
@@jenkins80526 And he brought the cookies back.
21 years old and Waylon is by far my favorite artist ever
God Bless u Sir or Ma'am
Bios Con Dios🎉❤😢😊
Totally agree with you, Waylon was always my American Country music singer of all times, l am lrish myself but I appreciate great Country music singing and Waylon Jennings could sing any song. ELIZABETH in SCOTLAND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you learn anything from watching these legends it’s that their pure honesty makes them so endearing. Truly amazing men.
😂🎉 BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST 🙏
Jesus is THE christ , Christ isn't his last name .
You should know this
When I was 12 year old my bestfriends dad, (Joel) was dying of cancer (1979). He loved Waylon Jennings. Waylon heard about Joel Jackson (his biggest fan) it was in the local paper. Waylon had both his tour buses drive to Raleigh. He parked one in front of my house, and the other in front of Joel's house. He sat with Joel for about an hour. Joel placed away a few hours later. My mother wouldn't let me go meet him. 10 years later I met him and Jesse Colter. The most humble famous people I've ever met😇
Jerry Lee Kewis was nice too😊
Michael Jordan was very nice too. Waylon and Jesse were so kind and genuine✌💙
🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊Forever in our heart
Great outlook on people friend.
How in the world would anyone give this a dislike you got two of the greatest performers that ever lived
Love these guys, wish I could have been there to see them ! Country music will never be the same !
Must a been a slip of the thumb. 😅 thats what she said too
These legends owned their addictions, I can very much respect that. RIP Waylon and Johnny.
Man wish these guys were around today...........So glad their songs are.
I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Cash at the Orange County Fair, in the early 90's I was working security and after the show Johnny Cash invited everyone to eat. It was like a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, so much food, and I couldn't believe it. The coolest guy, man, entertainer, I have met a lot of singers, entertainers ,actors, celebrities, and some I forgot, but all never forget this Man, he had a heart of gold! Me, I was raised by a USMC, and ive learned a lot from my father, and I learned something from this great man! Thank You R.I.P.
Hell yeah OC Fair
I watched a video of an interview with his wife Jesse and a comment she said about him I will always remember. She said, " no matter who's song he sings, he Waylonizes it." He sure did have an incredible voice.
Yea that nails it.
That’s perfect. He’s probably the coolest looking and sounding human of all time. The DUDE just expels “cool” from everywhere. He and Merle were my dad’s favorite singers. And I was so into being a cowboy growing up. These guys were the soundtrack to my childhood. I remember a few of these interviews. So thankful to live in an age where I can go back and watch this stuff at will.
At 22:00 , it’s easy to tell that Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings are truly happy to see each other and consider it a pleasure and privilege to sing with each other. Respect is overflowing. Two legends in their own right. Can only imagine the late nights drinking and singing.
Look up "tales from the tour bus"
Thank me later
@@justspeakingmymind7224 ...yes! Great stuff. It’s even better when re watching.
@@justspeakingmymind7224 I’ll thank you now 💕✌🏻
Thank you for the timeline.
mikewood....I hear you, Brother
Alot of great music, laughs, .....shootin' pool & tall cold ones
I'm a Cash, Jennings, Letterman fan.
Never saw any of these shows until tonight.
What a GREAT collection.

Letterman is a punk!
Oh, this time, thier is a great segment, where you can see how good a talent, David, Letterman's front man, Paul, his own nightly piano 🎹, player, who u heard from Loud and clear, u never know what a real talented guy he was until he was was expected to get a chance to show case his own personal talent with the likes of this performer, Waylon , Jennings 😉

When waylon walked out to sing with Johnny that was straight chills. Just two larger than life people that had so much influence on music.
Did you have snacks?
ruclips.net/video/ieIc5nv8vbE/видео.html
Absolutely, I go back to this song when I need a lift.
The way they sang the last chorus together with looks that only old friends can manage, just honesty.
Such feeling in those simple lines of Kris Kristofferson.
True facts, I have truely shed a year there. Lost treasures, that era,😔🎶🎶❤️🍀✌️
@@jantzfitzgerald6115 😂😂🤣
Seeing this makes me happy I grew up in a different time. And weep for the world we lose as we get older. “I’ll carry off a little darkness on my back, ‘til things get brighter, I’m the Man in black.” Miss all our fallen heroes.
I actually very like your thumbnail, have an eye on Gul Dukat! 👏😂
they just remind of good people...unpretentious
heard a story where they had a meeting of sorts and the phone rang and June talked for a good while and when they asked 'who was that? ...she answered ... it was a wrong number.'
The modern world has made people more and more rotten
%
Waylon’s charm was natural. He was a real cool card.
Yeah, those ex-cons tend to be that way. Haha.
Lame but nessisary
cool cat, is the expression
I am ashamed to say I had forgotten just how cool he was. Very likable guy.
@@TheShoottheradio Friend, I agree. Do you think they developed their persona because it helped them survive?
Waylon is buried in Mesa cemetary near my mom and dad I see him every time I go see them
Wow
He's not buried in Texas?
Kristina Omalley, Waylon is buried in the Mesa, Arizona cemetery. He and his wife of 33 years, Jessi Colter, had moved from Nashville, Tennessee to the Mesa, Arizona area several years before Waylon’s death in 2002. Jessi still resides there.
Pardon my ignorance but how old was Waylon when he passed away? Thank you kindly.
Also,where is Waylon actually buried at?
No one like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristopherson....they were the real deal always....talent
Holy Hell! I love these guys ... and WAY before my "time!"
Awesome interview
I’m mostly a rocker but I appreciate good music, no matter the genre. It’s just like Johnny said “music is for everybody.”
I've never been a big fan of country music, I'm a lifelong metal head, but, I absolutely LOVE Waylon and Johnny. Could listen to them all day.
Same here
I'm with you on that. I had a couple Waylon Jennings' albums nestled between my Black Sabbath and Led Zep.
same
Me too!
That’s like someone saying, “I dont like metal but I know who metallica and slayer are!” Waylon and Johnny transcended country and became American pop culture.
In the liner notes of the album "Waymore's Blues II", producer Don Was said Waylon was the only person he' ever met who could say "I was on tour one time with Buddy, Elvis and John..." and have every word it of it be true.
Thank you for saving these moments from being lost to time!
God that is still rare and was even rarer at that time for someone to open up and speak so honestly and directly about their drug use. Johnny Cash was the real deal.
They just simply don't make them like these legends anymore. Waylon, Johnny, June, George, Merle....I could go on and on. Y'all Rest in Peace. You have earned it.💜
Legend lives forever
Ain’t that the truth, I’m running out of hero’s
Amen
AMEN THERE!
I think you forgot ol Dave himself here. A different type of legend but still a legend.
Having Johnny Cash come on your show is like royalty.
Waylon was charming. I miss this show so much. A better time.
Love both Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. Waylon is really a handsome man.
Wasn't he, though. Waylon wasn't classicly handsome, but there was just something so magnetic about him that my knees get weak at the mere sight of him........
@@pageribe2399 Ruggedly handsome!
I felt a bit bad thinking the same, hes older than my parents, but gosh he was gorgeous. He had the cheeky naughty boy personality with a handsome face, and quite tall too. Very attractive man in every sense. Its not surprising that he had many women in his younger years. Jessi certainly was one heck of a woman.
Hearing Johnny and Waylon talk about their recovery was fantastic!
This needs more ups... so amazing
Yes it was fantastic hearing them say they were clean great news 4 them.
When I was 14 (a very long time ago) I babysat for a woman who worked in a bar called the Palomino in North Hollywood. Johnny Cash had a gig there and I begged her to sneak me in to see him. I have been to 200+ concerts in my life but seeing Johnny Cash in that small place was truly the highlight of my life!
That's very, very cool!
I saw Johnny’s last show in sf at the Fillmore in 1994. One of the best shows I ever saw. June came out and played about 4 songs.
That's awesome, I never saw Johnny but have seen many country artists, including Hank Jr., Brad Paisley, Terri Clark among others
...but my highlight was seeing
Merle Haggard, he was so honed and perfectly polished as a musician that listening to him live was like listening to one of his CD's.
No mistakes, no fumbles and in perfect pitch. So smooth.
We here in Canada had a bar and tavern called the palomino to as well ad opry north
My grandmother was a head bar maid / bar manager by todays terms in a huge night club back in the road house days in the 70's they had national acts about once a month. Great bands every Friday and Saturday night but the big guys once a month. I met Gary Pucket there. the Jaggerz right after their big hit The Rapper, the Rascals and a few other notables. I went in the after noon with her to get it ready and they were bringing their gear in and sound checking. I got to meet them all in owners office on a very personal level. I wanted to play a guitar and be a rock star. lol they did give me some good advice and i had a lot of fun playing music in the bars and roadhouses until I was close to 40 and i also worked in show business as a stage technician. eventually i was making a living mixing sound and things like that so I gave up playing music on the weekends because I really had no choice as i had to choose between one or the other. as music happens on the weekends for the most part. those were great days. I got gig mixing sound every Saturday night on a live radio broadcast in a 2300 seat theatre. I was knocking down some cash as there were lots of other shows there also on the other days. Been doing it all my life. show business is great business but right now this damn cornona virus covid 19 has killed live shows as well as a lot of people. i never thought i would see the day the music died. But I damn sure am living it right now.
I believe that fantastic group THE HIGHWAY MEN was one of the BEST 'boy bands' to have graced a stage. Each personality was an integral part of the collection. As a showcase for each singer it couldn't have been better. I miss them all. ❤ 😢
@Orrin Terry
????? Ok. MAN band. Better yet
......how about Geezer Group. I loved them all. Kris is still with us and, imo, still handsome.
@Orrin Terry
What passes as popular 'music' now a days is very scary. No soul, no stories, no artistry and, imo, no talent.
I worry about our world in the hands of the youngins who listen to that crap.
Well at least WE had it good. So many talented ppl are deceased and Joan Baez and Elton John are ( will be ) retiring.
Thank God for CDs and RUclips. Have fun enjoying our GOOD music. ✌ & ❤.
Be glad that you lived in a time of giants. Those two will never be duplicated or replaced.
Real Men.
Soyboys cannot fill their shoes.
Indeed
@@christineadams12842
Yes sir can’t find a one that can replace them guys and they won’t at all either
@@christineadams1284 absolutely the best times.
Legends that we will never see the likes of again
If you're reconciled to God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, one day you shall join Mr. John Cash and reside at the same heavenly address.
stfu
You got that right rick
Except for when we go to the other side.Amen
Ever. It sucks
What a couple of legitimate musical legends. Real people from the country singing music about their lives in their own unique and creative ways. No fake ass southern accents and drinking beer on a tailgate song. Smart and badass DUDES, and June’s performance was absolutely lovely. Dave was great on this show. Always so funny and welcoming to all kinds of guests. I’d think Paul and his kickass band probably had a hand in getting such musical guest on the show. Thanks for this video. It brings back a ton of great memories of a couple of grown ass men that this country could use about now. Rest easy to all of those who have moved on.
I miss Johnny and Waylen.. watching 👀 that show makes me feel better 😌 I have been sober for 4 years now 😅 and now I have my little hummingbird who wouldn't be here if I didn't stop using.. my wife stuck with me and my son has to be the best kid I could have ever hoped for so.. God is good all the time 🙏 and prayers are answered in time.. the man in Black's music still shows me new things to this day.. and highwaymen is the greatest song of allllll Time
Keep on the good work 💪
I hope Johnny and Waylon realized by telling their story they saved people lives, and got sober. And sad for the ones that didn't win!
So true, Waylon's story of sobriety saved my life. Been sober almost four years now. Waylon's audio book literally became my Bible of hope. My hero
Doug Richardson, And what about Waylon and the support of his wife of 33 years, Jessi Colter?
I'm named after the guy how could I not love him
.
I named my youngest boy Waylon Kash
Yes how could we not!
Aww. Brings tears to my eyes...great great man
I see... Chris Squire from Yes. Cool.
Cash said on his Johnny Cash Show that "Waylon's a good friend and if he likes you, hell let you know it.....If he don't like you, he'll let you know that too"
That was Hoss to a T
Gosh I could watch Waylon 24 7 and never get bored. Thank you for sharing. RIP Waylon!
That first interview with Cash was as perfect as it could be. One of Dave's top interviews for sure. "Were there snacks?" was classic.
That was a classic from Letterman.
Can you imagine the time Johnny was describing, absolutely amazing.
People seldom realize how supportive Letterman was with the music community. I miss his show.
I miss Waylon.
I miss letterman too!
He was especially supportive of musicians' musicians, songwriters etc. who maybe didn't light up the charts like some much lesser hacks out there.
What I don't understand is why some ppl really don't
(Or didn't) like Letterman.
He's not Johnny but he sure has his own brand of funny. And so likeable.
Thank you for putting these Letterman shows up for us. Good work!
I miss Letterman too Colbear lol sounds like a political rerun.
This has to be the most rock and roll in country music. Whatever David Letterman show, I have ever seen in my life! This is awesome. Great music! God bless you all!
I sure miss Waylon and Johnny.... True country singers.
I love it when Johnny and Waylon just started having a conversation and they are so natural and real. They don't make em like this anymore.
As others have said, this is epic. Johnny and Waylon were so bad-ass but also were so gracious, charming and genuine. And if June Carter Cash singing Ring of Fire doesn't get a tear from you, we need to check for a pulse.
Watch how Waylon waits for Johnny before he walks over to sit with Dave. Class act!
The Great Roger Miller once said..."Don't keep your change in the same pocket as your pills. I just seen Johnny Cash eat 46 Cents"
Isn't this only Greatness.
Lmfao
I’m thoroughly enjoying everything about this! So many things happening at once! My world is being lit up ✨
@@mofuhlhage502 i want whatever you're havin' hon', care to be my share-bear?
Jet boy...all I have is ddr pepper and love in me! 😂 thx stranger
The fact that they're candid about their drug use says everything about their character.
"I don't remember a lot of things" Waylon Jennings These interviews with Johnny and Waylon are priceless.
100%
Johnny Cash is a legendary entertainer and they don’t make them like him anymore!
Halfway through you see the vitality both Waylon and Johnny got from sobriety. As they aged they looked serene and truly enjoying life.
"That was a period in my life when the only person that would talk to me was the Lord and the only woman who would have me was Betty Ford."
This could be a song
Stolen and written in my song book. Maybe you'll hear it one day
I hear ya, and the guitar and banjos now.
@@stevescuba1978 I'll write it better and we'll fight one day 😂
@@TheMidnightModder sounds fitting. Like an old western for the rights.
The difference in Waylon between the first appearance and the second is huge. Knowing what it feels like to be deep in the shit, desperate, denying it and out of control, and then to be sober, that feeling when you get your clarity and energy back is worth every pain you go through to get there.
Also noticeable in Richard Pryor when he got sober in the 1980s.
I'm not anti-drug, but I can say with authority that they can sneak up on you and become your life without notice.
In 1988 I had the pleasure of introducing Waylon in Spokane Wa. ( I was the morning man d.j. ) His wife was there ,Jessi Colter , she sang her huge hit. "I'm not Lisa "My name is Julie ...
Back stage ,hob nobbing , and I always got 8 by 10 s of every country star of that period .! So I put my arm around Waylon's wife. ,Getting ready for the pic ..
I GOT A LOOK THAT WENT RIGHT THREW ME. FROM WAYLON !! DAMM
NEVER WILL FORGET IT. ODD. ...THATS MY STORY. ABOUT THE MAN.
DAN DAN
Take over every aspect of your life.
You described being "deep in the shit" and all that goes with it, exactly how it is! Im so greatful to have all that far behind me.
So true man. Same with booze. Happy I’m starting to get my shit together!
Got that right! I was a 15 year heroin addict; now clean for 21 years! Wasn't easy! All I can say is God had me in His hand!
For anybody that grew up before computers and smartphones or even cable there was definitely some boredom and loneliness, but also time for self reflection and soul building. We’re missing that today in fact it’s being weaned right out of American society. Money is king. It’s sad. These guys definitely were not about the money. They were about embracing their fellow man and woman through song. Amen to that.
@warren3427 Thanks. Things definitely headed in the wrong direction
Best comment ever
Genius.
I was born During this time and I agree[
Also drugs
If only we had some genuine down to earth people on late night TV like this . Sad how we have slipped into the Abyss.
There is something riveting about his face and voice. Pure honesty.
Whose?
Will never get any better than Johnny, Waylon and Willie!! I adore them.. RIP Waylon and Johnny.. We miss you.
These men are True Legends..when your a kid you don't realize things..but once you grow up and become a man you will find yourself listening to their music and loving it.. they will live in our hearts forever
I got a six and eight year old running around past their bedtimes while this is playing. Like when I was their age at grandmas house.
Tears to my eyes ! Best you tube clips ever, unbelievable men . They will always be in my heart and memories.
True Men
Johnny & June had such depth...there's nobody in country music quite like that anymore, sadly.
Wow that’s some guest line up for a talk show. Nothing compares now. Icons
I saw an amazing performance by Waylon Jennings in 1973 in San Francisco, he opened for the Grateful Dead😳. That’s the brilliance of promoter Bill Graham, to expose people to all kinds of music
About 1980 saw Charlie Daniels open for heart at cow palace. Also attended mahogany rush, gamma, and Marshall Tucker band there. Weird but worked.
5/26/73, a classic show.
Wow! I wish I had been there.
Wow
Im pissed i missed them.
Those were the country heroes. They broke those molds. No disrespect,new country or artists,surely they’d agree.❤️🔥❤️🔥🍀✌️
I'm a Rock and Jazz person, but I have nothing but respect for Johnny Cash and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Waylon. Had a couple Waylon Jennings ' album.
So long a time since I heard this song Don't take your guns to town. Still good advice today
Rip Waylon and johnny
Amen! Wonderful talent.
Right after the game
And Merle Haggard ❤😭
Good music like this no longer exists. These songs tell a story, and that is very cool.
There are some good ones out there still. Takes a lot of searching but they exist.
When you spend so much time with these guys through their music and now there gone it can be a little emotional seeing them sitting there.
You wish you could have sat with them and just listen to them talk, amazing men, good men
I concur
Also makes me miss my Dad.....
Reminds me of my childhood with my late father. My dad and I were huge fans of the highway men. My favorite outlaws.
Yes indeed !!
Johnny and Waylon, two of my favorite, thanks Mr. Letterman
Waylon Jennings was such a legend
Truly. Met him once my Dad was a huge fan and took us to a concert in Omaha. Waylon kept glancing at Dad and a stage hand came out at the end and asked us to come backstage..we got to meet him because he said he thought Dad was George Jones (this happened to Dad a lot) and then as they got to talking, my Dad's reply to the mistaken identity was always "no but I do have a thing for Tammy Wynette" Waylon kept asking Dad if he sang because Dad had a deep, gravelly voice that made you take notice when he spoke. Dad never sang, but they did have a few drinks together and we had pics taken. I was about 7 and got to sit on Waylon's knee. A special memory. Dad is gone now but when I listen to Waylon I hear my Dad's voice again.😊
When Dave spoke of the enormity of seeing these gentlemen walking toward him. Just Johnny Cash in the black outfit would make you shake in your boots. Johnny and Waylon were some bad ass dudes.
Maybe in their 20's. They were physically destroyed by the time they were in their 40's and not imposing.
@@bodyoftruth7766 come on. Be nice
Body of Truth, have some class man, it’s Johnny and Waylon, you do $1,000 of drugs a day and tell me where you’re at in your 40s.

He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Jonny song?
@@jackgill3832 That’s a very difficult question.
Johnny was friends with Elvis too. One or two times I heard of when Elvis played vegas he would sing a couple of johnnys songs and say this is for my friend Johnny cash.
Waylon a true outlaw. Love him
When I was 10 years old, my Dad and I eating a hamburger in a greasy spoon cafe across from Sun Studio, Johnny Cash and a fellow who looked like Waylon walked in and sat down for some coffee and cigs. Seeing him on Dave's show is really great.
Came to Waylon Jennings late and just can’t get enough so watch everything I can.
He's the Genuine Article
Me too!
Do the same with Elvis. No one compares...

Waylon and Johnny aren't missing a thing in 2020. If anything the world is DEEPLY DEEPLY MISSING THEM!
Side note- slowly dripping tears of joy and confusion while watching this. I'm from levelland texas 14 miles south of littlefield and 20 miles east of Lubbock home of Buddy Holly and the crickets. I'm 25 years young and I feel like I know these men. I guess you can say i feel their spirit when I enter Lubbock or littlefield. I don't see these men in my head, I imagine little ol west Texas boys playing in dirt throwing rocks and mudballs at the neighbor's vehicles. I played a show at Grace campus in lubbock and before we showed up I literally felt as if Buddy was gonna be their watching, and it was then my nerves went away and my confidence in my gifts rose high. My daughter is named after Buddy Holly. "Holly June Nirvana Coronado" and dont yall forget that name!!!!
Yep. Lotta people these days would be walkin' on ol' Merles "Fightin' Side".
I probably watched this back in the day, stoned on the couch, sloughing off the events of the day, but here I am decades later, enjoying these clips as though they were aired no sooner than today. Love Letterman ❤
Legends for sure. Nobody since has even come close....
No better guests were ever on that show!!!!! These two legends are awesome!!! 😍💙🖤
Letterman was in good company that night.
Two of the greatest legends that ever lived on earth and two of the greatest legends to play together in heaven. Rest in peace Waylon and Johnny.
I love ‘I’m A Rambling Man’ by Waylon Jennings. That’s one of the most badass songs ever.
I love his version of me and Bobby McGee, live, 1975
These clips together are easily one of the very best things I've ever watched on RUclips. Such character, such talent, such humanity.... "Ain't that just like a human? Here comes that rainbow again." Precisely.
Miss these guys. Celebrate Willie and Kris while they're with us! Honky-Tonk Heroes and Highwaymen for sure.
People are more likely to be medicine men than pills after those days of this man all I needed was my guitar a bit of luck aride to the little show bar and man one night in Nashville it was me brian barnett t bone darwood taylor in walked my biggest real live I con the man mr.

I've never heard that song. But it awesome
I've always liked Waylon.
Yes, Kris 86 and Willie now 89 I believe. Loretta Lynn made it to 90, but it was still hard to let her go.
David Letterman had a lot of Country folks on his show and he seemed to really like them.
I miss these performances and the ones we have lost. We have a few left and need to appreciate them while they are still here.
Not to mention Paul Schaefer..I think he can play Any song or genre almost as good or better than the original.
@@JamesSmith-bj9vk
Yes, he is really amazing. I didn't give him enough credit years ago, he really is a talented man.
I miss seeing David Letterman every night. Late night t.v. sux now.
joshua phillips Absolutely, no doubt!!
The Beta is on now
Tracy Wagner ~ mean? Seriously?!
Yep
His interview with Charlie Daniels is a good one too
This dude took every opportunity he had to crack a joke! Nice😎
Glad we have access to the legends of the past. I grew up listening to these guys and enjoy sharing the videos with my grandkids.
Yes, keep these talented legends alive through your grandchildren. 🎸🎼🙏❤️
Waylon smoking a cigarette on the air. Who needs P.C.???
Johnny Cash's memory for things of his yesteryears is admirable and amazing!
And it's so wonderful two legends are/were lifelong friends.
when waylon said you kick a door down to get in the other side .... lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people don't realize how big of a music fan letterman is he's had a whole bunch of great musicans through out his time there
Most notably the great
Warren Zevon, who Letterman
was a huge fan of.
I saw Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan at a concert they had together. First Willie played, then Bob played. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
I saw bob Dylan open for Paul Simon, and between sets, they sang acoustic Johnny Cash songs. It was unreal!
The very first album i bought with my allowance was a two lp set of Johnny Cash’s best songs back in 1968, when i was 8 years old. Still have that lp. It’s a little beat up, and a little scratchy, but it still plays. Kinda like its owner.
Awesome
*heartfelt chuckle
Very cool choice for a 8 yr old!
@@chrismarshall5014
Thanks, it wasn’t my goal at 8, i was just really into his music, probably due to the TV variety show that my folks watched every week til it was cancelled.

Liked your comment about
"still playin' ". Baby Boomers STILL rock out!
Lol when Cash turned his back on Dave and Dave started reading 😂😂😂😂
Cash always had a way with words "I had a hammer in one pocket and painkillers in the other pocket"
It doesn’t get more iconic than this!
you are right baby
"Did you have snacks?" Classic.
June Carter Cash at the end is like a bonus track that turns out to be one of the best songs on the album.
Do you know what the instrument she is playing is called?
@@levihillukka It's an autoharp.
Waylon walks on and starts singing harmony and the song just gets better.
Waylon had the smoothest voice talking or singing! And what a wonderful nice man. I just love him! Just love the 2 of them singing together. This was great! Thanks for posting.
Waylon and Elvis, my two favorite Male vocalists!
Like absolute butter!
Part of an era that is gone. Performers like Johnny Cash were available to their fans in a way that you don't see anymore.
I never got to see Johnny Cash. When Waylon came out I got chills.
I am a rocker to the core and have never been fond of country music.
Anytime I can see or listen to Johnny Cash, Willie or Waylon I love it. Great musicians come in any genre
