      My wife, at the time!! , had the chance of comp tickets from her work. She turned them down, I never forgave her for that mistake! Funnily enough she made bigger mistakes later which she was forgiven but not this one....

    What it takes to be a legend. To be one with his old, scrapped, injured guitar, to be one thing with her, to make his ageless voice the perfect company for her. Just that.

    Willie's guitar solo @ 2:57 is the game-changer here, just masterful and Kristofferson backs off knowing that Willie is in charge, taking his song to a higher level. Willie hears sounds that others don't and has the gift of sharing those sounds through the guitar and his distinct phrasing. An awesome demonstration here for all of us who pick and sing and maybe write a bit. And KK is delighted to hear his song interpreted so well, transforming it really.

    Willie Nelson's guitar playing is coarse, untrained, rough, and more brilliant than the work of anyone with a PhD in music or the most accomplished trained performers. It is a force of nature made even more wonderful played on that antique nylon string guitar. It is perfect.

    This is my all time favourite KK song (and there's a wealth of choice). I saw the Highwaymen on this tour at Sheffield with a mate of mine. We had to drive over the Pennines from Blackpool where we were at a conference. It was well worth it. We'd seen all 4 individually but to see them sharing a stage was truly memorable.

    Kris is the greatest song writer ever, and these guys are the best. I really miss Waylon and Johnny. Thanks for posting this. I am going to see Kris for the third time in Oct. I wish I could have seen these guys in person. Love them all so much.

    When singers didn't need autotunes and effects like some today's "country" artists. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and (last but not least) the late Johnny Cash! The Mt Rushmore of country music.

      Ya forgot a few. Don Williams, Patsy Cline, well, there are too many to name. But I agree. Without autotune, light shows, monster bands many of today's "artists" would be lost. Even today though we have Chris Stapleton, not only a great singer but a guitarist right up there with Willie. And they SAY Randy Travis is improving by leaps and bounds. But like you I miss the days when EVERY performer had to actually be worth his salt. Too many now aren't.

    I saw this Highwaymen show in Holland that year with my best friend. It still lives with us as the best moment we ever shared, because we left our husbands behind and just loved our heroes. God bless them all! And, yes, Waylon did doze off during this, even when we saw them.

    There are some of us who had this music in our souls and we knew every word to these songs long before we ever heard them. And then when we heard Willie artistically bring them to life- well....he brings something to life in all of our souls.
    Thanks Willie

    An unsupassed version of Kris's brilliant song - sung by himself and Willie.
    To my mind Willie is the best of all time - songwriter, vocalist and musician.
    Willie's guitar sound is unique and instantly recogniseable and just listen to the audience's response to his solo!

    IF AND WHEN we are awakened to experience life again in some future world, to hear once more the music that expressed meaning and beauty to us in this life, there is no doubt that there in the distance on that great celestial stage will stand a long-haired figure with a familiar bandana and an aged guitar, leading the divine concert in that haunting voice.
