You're right. The music is once again controlled by executives, not by the artists. Waylon was responsible for improving the quality and realness of the music. I don't listen to country anymore because they've shifted away from what he did.
Waylon 5 min to lights 30 seconds later not lopsided (ifyaknowyaknow) walks up 8 riser steps gives a twist off his hat an ease into that blast of adrenaline. Lord I ms ya hoss it was truly a long time ago.
Wow, those were truly the days. My brother and I had a restaurant and bar, with a little campground up in Idaho back in the day. We had more fun than you could ever imagine. Those days are so sadly gone. My brother has passed, just like the good old days. God, how I miss them both.
Ernest Tubb said, “If your mama heard you playing guitar on the radio, would she know it was you?” It only takes about 5 notes, and you know it’s Waylon. Probably less if your ears are in practice 😂.
The year I was born. What an amazing performance by the king of country, and James Garner in the audience, the world is just not as cool as it was back then.
This show was recorded just after I first met Waylon & Jessi (Dec. 1979). Brings back a lot of good memories. I also had the pleasure of meeting James Garner at one of Waylon's shows soon after this one.
Incredible when I drive by the old Mr Luckys on Grand Ave here in Phoenix and think he played there one day. Its closed now and only memories of fun weekends. Just like Waylon...
Mr. Lucky's was THE place to go for many years. My parents used to go there almost every Saturday night. They saw Waylon a few times and he always rocked the place
I saw Waylon in Chandler Az., he was driving a black American car of some kind, not a caddy or a Lincoln , any way I had a Chevy pickup no air so I had the windows down and Waylon up; I made eye contact with the guy in the car at a four way stop and he gave me a thumbs up, which I returned with a mystified look, then he pointed at his face with both hands, at which I gave him two thumbs up and a big grin. Then he touches the brim of his hat as he crossed the intersection, it was hot that day but boy was that cool!
Reminds me of Gilley's in Pasadena , Texas, the filming place of "Urban cowboy " . Been in both, many moons ago. Remember Mr. Lucky's being advertised on the radio stations all the time in Phoenix. 🥰
I had the good fortune and the privilege to see Waylon almost every Friday night at FRIDAYS, a Club in the Riverbottom, between Scottsdale and Tempe in the early 60's. 😊
Heh heh ..awesome! I remember this show from when I was a teenager, and had just discovered Waylon, who soon became my idol. I no longer listen to country music, but I still love and miss him!
I saw Waylon at Mr. Lucky's in about 1969, Years later got to know him and some of his band in Jackson WY, when they played there at a friend's bar. A hell of a singer for sure.
I lived at 35 ave and Camelback back in the day and grew up in north Phoenix just off Bell rd Unless you lived in the 80`s you will never understand why we look at my kids staring at their phones and shake our heads. life is so Heavy now like its almost a burden. back then life seemed lighter, fun ohh well anyways Thank you so much for uploading this WOW
I was there… J David is a life long family friend. My brother played at Lucky’s with Western Bred for years. Btw; when he said he had gotten into a lot of trouble at Lucky’s a long time ago… that was just a month ago… 😉 A truly amazing musician and a great guy. I was always begging my parents to allow me to stay up until the jam sessions ended… wonderful memories.
Watching this footage from 1980 makes me wish I could travel back in time so I could stop for a visit to Mr. Lucky, watch Waylon Jennings live in concert, shake hands with James Garner, tip my hat to Jessi Colter, and let a few people know that 2023 is going to suck so enjoy 1980.
Country up stairs,Rock and roll down. If you loved it in the day, don't drive by today. Closed and abandoned...Time marches on,unfortunately...Miss you Waylon.
The staff at Mr Luckys were fucking pricks! Nobody wanted to put up with their shit! A lot of us would go to Buddy's rock & roll place just down the road.
Good Hearted Woman.. My whole youth my dad was always in a C&W band or just in jam sessions at someone's house or even our house. This was the song he would sing to my Mom every time. Grew up just down the road from Mr. Lucky's too. Great memories.
Always one of my favorite singers ever since my Dad explained who was singing the song to my favorite TV show at that time, the Dukes of Hazard. Well he scheduled a Prineville, Or concert in 1990 and I must have been the first to buy tickets. But 2 days before he was scheduled to come to town he canceled due to problems with his diabetes. I was heart broken. But he came back in 1991 and sang his heart out!! I will never forget that concert and I will never grow tired of listening to Waylon!!
Saw him in many places. I especially remember a gig at Max's Kansas City in NYC. Small room...like a private show it was. Thought I'd lose my mind!...Waylon, Ralph Mooney and Richie Albright...never forget it!
I saw Waylon 5 times in the 70s and the 80s in so. Florida and they were sold out everytime... What great performances... Thank you for posting on the tube!!!!
Use to live at this joint and danced till it closed in the seventies, sad it is closed because I would certainly give it another go, waylon your are missed as well.
LUCKY S MUST HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME PLACE TO GO SEE ENTERTAINERS AND HAVE A GREAT OLD TIME HE REALLY PACKED THE HOUSE!! PEOPLE WERE EVERY WARE. EVEN SITTING ON THE FLOOR!!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS STILL HONKING THOSE TABLES GRANDPAWWW LOL AWESOME
Here's some nostalgia , I knew an old dude that said when he started driving in Phoenix, Grand avenue was a dirt road and the actor Jack Elam lived there and drove down that road weaving all over since he had a few too many. This was in the sixties. 😉
Dear music 🎶 man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been to Waylon’s grave site. Waylon is buried in Jessi’s family plot, close to Jessi’s mom and dad. There is an empty space beside Waylon for Jessi when she passes. Waylon’s gravestone is flat, and looks like it is made of black granite. An image of Waylon is etched on the stone. Engraved on the stone is a verse from “Belle Of The Ball”: “A Vagabond Dreamer, A Writer And Singer Of Songs”. Waylon always said that “Belle Of The Ball” was the favorite of all the songs that he wrote. Also inscribed are the words “I Am My Beloved’s, My Beloved Is Mine”. On the right side of the stone are the words “A Wonderful Son, Brother, Husband, Father and Grandfather”. Waylon’s gravestone is certainly in sharp contrast to the grossly elaborate gravestones of people like George Jones, and Johnny and June Carter Cash. It is a simple but beautiful gravesite that is appropriate for a down to earth and humble man like Waylon Jennings was.
Thank you so much for uploading this , blew my mind , I love the country western fashion everyone is wearing ... unreal , I do remember those times indeed .
Me, Jim Maybin, and Snort Yarnel. Drove from Castle Hot Springs. We were working Sam Layton at the 11L. Damn that was a good show. And boy did we get hammered😂.
I remember back in those days everyone wore cowboy hats. I enjoyed watching the bull riding in the back of Mr. Lucky's. Lot's of hangovers from that place!👍😁
No backing dancers,no costume changes JUST DAMNED GREAT MUSIC!! WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOOD WE HAD IT THEN!! WHAT WAS THE LAST ALBUM /CD YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT BROUGHT HOME AND EAT DOWN AND LISTENED TO??? GUNS AND ROSES APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.
Please lord ... I wanna wake up teletransported back there in that time , with all that amazing country and western fashion and music , cool cars and pickup trucks and everything simpler ... and I promise lord I won’t look forward to the future of 2000’s .... I tell everyone enjoy right now !
.I got lucky and was able to raise hell at both Lucky's and JD's in my misguided youth.Today's generation does not have these kinda places,and that is why today's so called country/Western sucks big time,
I WAS A WAITRESS THERE THAT 4:34 NIGHT . . THATS ME ON THE VIDEO COMING IN AT 4 minutes and 32 seconds. What a great night . James Garner was the greatest . .
From the depht of the internet. I cannot remember accurately any more lolz. All I know I had seen it before and was shocked it was not in youtube yet. Damn that Hoss had style!
You're right. The music is once again controlled by executives, not by the artists. Waylon was responsible for improving the quality and realness of the music. I don't listen to country anymore because they've shifted away from what he did.
Amen brother. The 70s, 80s and some 90s was it.
You can still listen to country. That is why it was recorded!
UMG is owned by the whiff. Your government is too hunny.
Yep, and we need to keep all the good old stuff in circulation.
Old school country only
Waylon 5 min to lights 30 seconds later not lopsided (ifyaknowyaknow) walks up 8 riser steps gives a twist off his hat an ease into that blast of adrenaline. Lord I ms ya hoss it was truly a long time ago.
Hard to believe he's only 43 here, so young. What a fucking legend.
If it wasn't for drugs,maybe he was still alive
43,,,0ne Year OLDER THEN ELVIS WHO DIED AUGUST 16th,1977 at the age of 42..
Still listening in November 2024 and loving every minute of it
Outstanding.
This is the real Country Music. Never be another Waylon.
Struggle Jennings (his grandson) doing well...and holding the name sound.
@@IAmYakYakTV the law needs to get her for this shit
We know this. This is why we come here. Your noise is not appreciated.
But upcoming Whey does the family proud! And gives me goosebumps! So don't be so sure of yourself.
I agree he was one of a kind gone but never forgotten
Wow, those were truly the days. My brother and I had a restaurant and bar, with a little campground up in Idaho back in the day. We had more fun than you could ever imagine. Those days are so sadly gone. My brother has passed, just like the good old days. God, how I miss them both.
Great artist guitar playing and singer Waylon Jennings is one of the best ❤❤
Waylon Jennings was the best at countrymusikk
Waylon is a dangerous guitar player. Seriously good.
Waylon could make his guitar talk that's for sure
Ernest Tubb said, “If your mama heard you playing guitar on the radio, would she know it was you?” It only takes about 5 notes, and you know it’s Waylon. Probably less if your ears are in practice 😂.
Just drove and stopped by Mr Lucky’s recently. Just tried to capture that old vibe. Greatest talent there ever was.
I played Mr. Lucky's many times in my Hometown of Phoenix I Miss them both
The year I was born. What an amazing performance by the king of country, and James Garner in the audience, the world is just not as cool as it was back then.
Sure do miss him! I listen to your music all the time, Waylon! Gone but sure as hell not forgotten!!!
This show was recorded just after I first met Waylon & Jessi (Dec. 1979). Brings back a lot of good memories. I also had the pleasure of meeting James Garner at one of Waylon's shows soon after this one.
I love the way he always called Jessi..."my better half." They were so good together.
Waylon, the king of outlaw. Lucky's the king of clubs. Rest in peace old friends.
is mr lucky's still there in phx?
@@rodneysmith537 Unfortunately Lucky's closed in 2004. The building and the sign are still there though.
I scandalized my brother
14/10/03
Incredible when I drive by the old Mr Luckys on Grand Ave here in Phoenix and think he played there one day. Its closed now and only memories of fun weekends. Just like Waylon...
I'll go by and see. If it is I'll take a pic of the old sign and building.
He played there lot's of times that was Waylon's stomping ground in Phoenix back in the 60's before he got famous
@@tommyp3827 Been waiting. Did you get that pic, or what?
@@seanstipsky9473 sorry, i didn't see your message. No, i didn't get a pic. Where did you send it? Thx
Mr. Lucky's was THE place to go for many years. My parents used to go there almost every Saturday night. They saw Waylon a few times and he always rocked the place
Country music for Real.
Waylon the man.🤠
At his best.... True outlaw country.... Gone but not forgotten
There will never be a another one like him.
Man ..If I only had a nickel for every time I played that room! Long live J David Sloan and the Rouges and Bill Hallock. Waylon Rocked it.
My uncle played there a lot as well his name was Kenny Mcclelland
I feel as if I'm all alone in this world
The smoke filled hall has a tele stain I wished I could copy
A great singer
A great guitarist
A great comedian
Well he's the best musician but as a comedian absolute shit
Not a comedians ass he's just the best at kicking kool
I saw Waylon in Chandler Az., he was driving a black American car of some kind, not a caddy or a Lincoln , any way I had a Chevy pickup no air so I had the windows down and Waylon up; I made eye contact with the guy in the car at a four way stop and he gave me a thumbs up, which I returned with a mystified look, then he pointed at his face with both hands, at which I gave him two thumbs up and a big grin. Then he touches the brim of his hat as he crossed the intersection, it was hot that day but boy was that cool!
Luck...right place....right time.
He used to live in Coolidge!
Mr. Lucky's... The King of Clubs, God I loved that joint 🎉😂🍻
Reminds me of Gilley's in Pasadena , Texas, the filming place of "Urban cowboy " . Been in both, many moons ago. Remember Mr. Lucky's being advertised on the radio stations all the time in Phoenix. 🥰
Wow Would you just listen to that crowd, I would have loved to have been there to see it! Great stuff!
I had the good fortune and the privilege to see Waylon almost every Friday night at FRIDAYS, a Club in the Riverbottom, between Scottsdale and Tempe in the early 60's. 😊
You must be around my age, according to your post.
Those were the Good Times.....
For sure
Heh heh ..awesome! I remember this show from when I was a teenager, and had just discovered Waylon, who soon became my idol. I no longer listen to country music, but I still love and miss him!
Busters mom
May I introduce you to Sturgill Simpson
Two of the coolest men of the '70s/80's. Waylon Jennings and James Garner. This stuff is timeless.
Man did I have some good times at Mr. Luckys. A few fights and lots a drinking. Golden memories of the good ol days!!!
I wish I had a time machine to go back to those times because now days suck
THANKS🔥FOR POSTING IT!!😁😎.

Driving down grand Avenue in Phoenix makes me real sad to see Mr. Luckys in its dilapidated condition. I love TH-cam. Best time machine
Here's some nostalgia , I knew an old dude that said when he started driving in Phoenix, Grand avenue was a dirt road and the actor Jack Elam lived there and drove down that road weaving all over since he had a few too many. This was in the sixties. 😉
Talk about owning a room.

All Hail to The Good Times!! Waylon has the right of Way!
when music was still good...
Still is -- you just got to search past the mainstream ones. Do some digging of your own and you'll still find good music made today.
He is buried in the Mesa Cemetery where my family is...and yes I will go there too.

Everybody please note the presence of Maverick himself, James Garner at 3:23; I guess outlaws run together.
