MERLE HAGGARD LIVE! Full Concert

- Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 - April 6, 2016) was an American country singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler.
Merle Haggard was a smooth singer, adept guitarist, insightful songwriter, and Country Music Hall of Fame member. His legacy includes "Okie From Muskogee," "Workin' Man Blues," "Big City," "Mama Tried" and "Today I Started Loving You Again"
Haggard was born in Oildale, California, during the Great Depression. His childhood was troubled after the death of his father, and he was incarcerated several times in his youth. After being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, he managed to turn his life around and launch a successful country music career. He gained popularity with his songs about the working class that occasionally contained conformist and jingoistic themes contrary to the prevailing anti-Vietnam War sentiment of much popular music of the time. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, he had 38 number-one hits on the US country charts, several of which also made the Billboard all-genre singles chart. Haggard continued to release successful albums into the 2000s.
He received many honors and awards for his music, including a Kennedy Center Honor (2010), a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2006), a BMI Icon Award (2006), and induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (1977), Country Music Hall of Fame (1994) and Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame (1997). He died on April 6, 2016-his 79th birthday-at his ranch in Shasta County, California, having recently suffered from double pneumonia.

Thankyou New Hillybilly. From New Zealand. God Bless

That's an awesome line up.. Some of the best ones.. Thanks for posting.
Right the Hell ON IF you know what COUNTRY IS ABOUT
At 84 yrs. old Merle is the best Country Western singer I have ever heard in my life. His songs told the story of his life. That's where real country western music comes from. These singers that have told their life in their music comes from the heart and soul. I can go back many years as a farm boy born just a few years before WWII from up country Maine and I listened to country music all my life going working in the barn. Rock & Roll was okay but there was too much Make Believe wording put into it. My check out time is not too far down the road at 84 yrs. old. I am former USAF, U.S. Army..Sgt. First Class..retired, Federal Law Enforcement Officer..retired..disabled, Nationally Certified Operating Room Technician..worked all kinds of surgical cases for 22 yrs...God Bless Country Western Music into eternity...Sgt. Ron..retired,.disabled May 2024.
God bless you Sir. And ThankYou for your service to our country and our people.I pray you have comfort and joy in your time here with us. With Respect to you.
Most of todays "country artists" couldn't carry Merle's guitar case when it comes to raw country talent! What they call country today is nothing but rap with a fiddle accompaniment!!!
Ronnie Milsap said exactly: Merle Haggard ... he alone, saved country music, in the PBS documentary by Ken Burns, Emmylou Harris is asked what country music is ... she answered: take any Haggard record and put it on, no matter where the turntable needle falls... This will explain what country music is. 🎸❤
Emily Lou summed it up probably better than anyone has ever tried.....Amen!
Amen
I’m not really a big fan of country music , but sometimes find that Merle Haggard is the only music that is left on this Earth that I can still stomach . I just regret discovering his music too late .
Merle Haggard Never Died, He Just Stopped Performing Live, Cousin Figel
My husband looks so much like him that sometimes I think you're right that he never died but lives in my house, lol. Wish hubby could play guitar and sing like him though.
He was in transition here like everyone else.
This is why he was named #1 of 100 top country music singers of all time
I ain’t gay but I love this man and his music. Been my hero for a log time . His children Marty , Noel and Ben are awesome
there is no gender in music bro, but as you said he is your hero.
Same as You. Scott Haggard is too. BUT IT WONT BE ANOTHER MERLE HAGGARD. WIFE & Love the Haggard 5 as She Calls Them.
Glad your not gay
@@bobbysharbono9672 I Love We You
Been my hero for a log time. Classic.
There won’t be anybody like Merle again , like there won’t be another Elvis or Lennon or something. He is a one off and there is a lot of music that I don’t want to listen to atall when I am on Merle mode . A truly good man who was blessed by God
I LOVE MERLE HAGGARD JUST LIKE JERALD PORTER DID ... GOD WINS 🏆 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 👏 ♥️ 🏆 🙌 🙏
UNIQUE MAN. HE HAS THE TALENT TO MAKE THAT GUITAR TALK. WORDS FLOW SMOOTHLY OUTOF HIS MOUTH.
AND THE STRANGERS ARE WONDERFUL.
Me to, I lost my wife of 38 years and she loved Merl, his Music helps me heal or just grieve. Miss you Dino and Hag
Pat so sorry to hear of your wife's passing....I totally understand what you mean about Merle helping you heal or just grieve....so many of his songs have that element that gives you the strength to carry on. I lost my husband in March 2020, almost 25 years! God Bless Merle. Keep playing his music, God Bless you Too Pat!
Merle,
Five years gone.
Are the good times really over for good.......it would appear to be so. R.I.P. Hag. 4/6/2021. Message to the Haggard family.
We the fans love you all, please stay strong.🎶
I'm back again listening to and watching the one and only Merle Haggard. RIP The Hag !!
Merle Haggard - Will Miss You Man - You Rocked That Wonderful Stage for many Years - One Of the best Country Music Singers Of all Time, Go Rest High On That Glorious Mountain , You Brought happiness To all Our Lives ,Passed April 6th 2016 ,with you're battle with Pneumonia in Cali , will never forget you man LOVED YOU SO VERY MUCH - 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are he best
Thank you for this. I got to see Mr. Merle Haggard in Albuquerque. Bonnie Owens was there too. Think my late Husband myself and our daughter have all his records. Miss him but I'll see him someday in Heaven.
My Brother Milton loved this man singing on the radio 📻 and I miss my Brother Milton.
I absolutely love watching Willie and his kids. This song is such a gem. I'll love Willie til the day i pass away and beyond. Willie and John Prine have been my favorite singer/singwriters forever.
On a side note, the first time I saw Willie was when I was 16 yrs old. Im 62 now. Of course, I was standing pretty close to the stage when Willie and I locked eyes. He politely smiled, tipped his hat, pointed at me and gently tossed it towards me. Unfortunately, his hat tumbled across my fingertips in to the hands of other eager fans. Willie looked at me, snapped his fingers as if to say damn! All was good tho ..I really appreciated the gesture.
To Lukas, watching you watch your Dad is so genuine. Your encouraging quick smiles are heartfelt. I actually had goosebumps ..even on the back of my knees! 😂 I truly enjoy you Lukas ..you and your family are true treasures. ❤
Thanks for this upload. This concert was uploaded to youtube a few months ago, but it got taken down. Glad to see it again!
Merle war der beste Country Sänger for ever!
March 24 2024,
Merle Haggard is still the man
NEVER be another.
Have mercy on people who don't listen to various artists and genres of music ❣️🙋♀️
They don't know what they're missing, because right now music is what keeps me hanging on for dear life 💕
The best. Had Tickets to see him. My boss said I had to work. He died the next year. He's been a favorite since I was a kid. Now I'm a half century old. Thak you New Hillbilly.
Who ever put this together THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART , I sure do miss him ,for when he died so did country music. GOD BLESS. JP
Darrell Deyton
Yeah country music had been on a respirator for 20 years, we at least had Hag, Willie, George, Ray Price and a few more there still keeping the traditional sound out there....but, when Hag left, there is a huge void...I just pray with his music and so much more like his music are so accessible, that someone will step up. Until then, thank you for the uploads like HIll Billy and Amazon(that's where I spend most of my free time now)! Hag's song "Are we going down hill" pains me now to listen to it.....I truly feel we have been and are especially with country music. But, his last repeat of the chorus is changed up a bit to say that it isn't and we should not go down that path! So there is hope, always hope! :)
One of the best
Me too!!!!
Thank you so much for this!
So great. There will never be another Merle.so sad.time changes everything.
Good singing good singing my son that passed away and all these songs
He was truly the best I still listen to his music every day. I was able to go and see him at three concerts he was the best. My favorite song is Shopping For Dresses. God Bless To His Family.
Viva the music and memory of Merle Haggard. Do I hear "Amen!"
Amen
Amen
Amen
Double amen
Amen

His mama prayed for him his whole life and when I get to heaven, I want to see him there to verify that her prayers made a difference. I’ve listened to Merle for probably 50 years and I do miss him, but I still have his music.❤
Country Music Died when The Lord Called Merle Home. SERIOUSLY!
Ricardo, I can see how you feel that way, but I truly believe that Merle put so much into preserving country music by playing Lefty, Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers and so many more. I don't believe the good Lord would let those efforts fade away; I trust that there are many, many young people out there paying attention and will not let Merle's music die and they will grow to know and love his music and so many that came before Merle. He was so very gifted!
Merle Haggard got three son. That will carry on his music and singing voice.
If you’re George Jones’ favorite singer, you damn sure did something right. Then add the guitar picking, songwriting, and bandleading, and he’s on another level. Best that ever was!
He was the Best ever. Miss Him very much.
We’ll not see the like of him again RIP Merle Haggard.
It is that the real contrymusic !!! Thanks Merle and other players !!! Congrats and great félicitations !!! RIP my heartloving MERLE love succès and beautifull man ❤️❤️❤️👍😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏respect sincerely to Haggardfamily but allways my love and admiration to you forever unforgettable ❤❤❤(2023/04/21) ❤
the man was the best there was, he was my hero of country , no doubt of it. i was blessed enough to see him in concert in 73 , i was floored to put it mildly, and a fan since i was a teen, and a fan for life. we all miss you Merle, but we know your singing in Glory, GOd love you Merle, always
Simply The Best !!!
Merle was and Is the best there will ever be. No light shows no fancy acoustics. Just plain raw talent. So called country music today is a crossover perversion.

@@LarryBill-ei8khciao Larry! 🙋♀️😊😘💘🌅
The Hag still lives. His music is American music. His music is everyday life. Thank you Mr Haggard
In 1982my dog died two wks. Later, my mom. One bro got killed and one 2ent to prison. Without the comfort of merle and Freddie I would not have went thru it very well he noticed that I did not cry. So he set out to ease my pain by crying. My own little concert, sang to ease the god awful pain that would have broken me were it not for the kindnesof this wonderful troubadour that somehow found a place for me in his heart
I wish words were enuff to share what that man held in his heart
Totally agree. Thanx for helping to keep his memory alive. Luv u!
He was my favorite, wish he was still around because he knew good country music. 👏👏👏👏♥️
Beautiful Concert Thanks For The Memories I Saw Merle Several Times In Concert And Loved Each One As Much As I Did The Others Merle You Will Live On In My Heart And Memories Forever So As I Say Rest In Peace For Your Music Will Live On As Long As I Am Alive And I'm Sure As Long As Many Of Your Other Fans Live To Keep It Alive And Playing.
MIchael, I am almost 60 years old and grew up listening to and dancing to Merle, but only was familiar with his commercial hits. Now that I am older and have lived life and seen heartache and loss and many ups and downs, it's his music that gives me most joy. I can now go research all of his albums and listen to them. He was such a fantastic musical genius and he left all of us a tremendous gift. Like Emmy Lou Harris said, "just take any of Hag's records and let the needle fall, that's will tell you what country music is about."
He's got an awesome voice for singing country rythim
Merle was one of the BEST ever.
RIP old friend....
Wow, after watching and Seeing my great aunt Flossie there was a blessing..
Patricia, she seemed to be a sweet sweet soul. I saw once where Marty Haggard was talking about her and his relationship with her.....he referred to her as "Jesus in a skirt".... many people in country music who knew her through Merle said she was wonderful.....you should be proud so very proud. A beautiful lady!
@@karenenderle532 , Yes I am very proud of her. My mother sure looked a lot like her and Merle.
Wow, Merle on the fiddle!!!!👏👏👏👏🎻🎻🎻🎼🎤🎸👍👍👍🏴
Best band The Strangers. Ole Hag had all of them on thier toes that night... Awesome!! Thank you for the video!
Merle had everything under control , he every sound his players were to make and what moment, he is just great with anything to do with music, he was so amazing with his songs.
Thank you! I am 67 and in tears. Born April 6th, 1955
the best singer,songwriter ever and a mighty fine guitar player also
Hot damn! California style country! We are so fully blessed!

I clocked a TV documentary recently where Ronnie Milsap declared that Merle Haggard "saved" Country Music in the latter part of the 1960s.
🎉0😊
I wanted to see him at Tachi Casino, but he had to cancel because of his illness. I regret not seeing him earlier.
Bless you.
There Will Never Be Another Merle Haggard - Rest In Peace
Best of all play, in heaven my good old friend.
I love Merle Haggard's music!
I've always loved Merle it was a very sad day he left us . I'll keep listening to music as long as I'm here
I agree he was the whole package.....his musical talents were so far above everyone else, then he had THE voice, THE songwriting....and he knew how and when to lay out a note, how long to hold it and put so much emotion into everything he did....this in itself is a marvel...but when you go back into his youth and young adulthood and see what he overcame to become what he is ....LEGEND! God surely had His hand on Merle!
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Back in the day, my friends and I rode our motorcycles all over the Western United States to attend all of the Hag's
Concerts. Countless Country Vocalist's began leaving true Country behind hoping to draw a larger crowd, to sell
mere records and tapes by going Country
Rock and the like. Merle Haggard never
done that, never even considered it...
Many years ago, His Bus stopped at a Truck Stop here in Utah. He was handing out black & white pictures of himself,
and sharing a Bottle with people in line.
I'll never forget just how real, just how
he fit right in with us common folks....
Right on MF.
Five year's wow thanks Marty and Connie 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Merle.
this is GOLD ..thanks for sharing.
merle is a nice payer , i didnt know he played so well
The greatest singer songwriter I’ve ever seen.
Merle extend the legend. Always Haggard
I saw the Hag twice in my life he was the best i find myself always singing his songs... miss you Merle.
Hag was more than a mentor to me. He and Freddy powers saved me from a despair that brought merle to tears. For thirty years he stood by me, in ßpirit and in song up and down I 5doin right or doin wrong he was without a doubt the biggest influence in my life and his daughters Kelli and Dana were as sweet to me as anyone could be. I wish I could find themjjanie girl
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Sure do miss him. So happy we'll always have his music!

Great show Hag. Wish I could have been there. He sure sounds great here.
There will never be another country singer as good or better than Merle haggard..
A sad loss to all music lovers from where ever He was great
And missed.
So glad I got to see him in person in a small dance hall. And so glad for TH-cam to exist so people can upload concerts like this. True American Original Merle Haggard. One of a kind!
My dad's band used to open for Haggard back in the late 70s and early 80s.. I met the man many times as a kid. About 2 years before he passed we went to dinner with he, Benny and Theresa when they came to do a show in the town I live in.. My dad had passed on several years before this, but Merle kept in touch with me and the remaining band mates... He was a humble soul.. Miss the man...
@@lleroy8929 wow! I'm glad I got to see him at all.
@@lleroy8929 but I’m
Thank God we never missed this TALENT
RIP Merle Haggard. I got to see you in person once with my Dad who just passed away this past fall from COVID. You have meant a lot. I saw your 2 sons perform a couple of years back.
Robert so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. My parents loved Merle also, that was my way of communicating with my Dad....through the old country music,,,,which I grew up loving so very much. I never saw Merle, I was going to go to one of his last concerts up in Texas hill country, but I got sick! My friend taped some of it for me though, I have that!
@@karenenderle532 my son bought tickets so he could take me to see Merle. I was on cloud 9. Merle canceled due to a pulled muscle in his back and never rescheduled. I was devastated. Love Merle. No one has a voice or looks like him. RiP Merle
@@karenenderle532 I love his music. I missed a golden opportunity to see him in Texas in the late 90's when I was stationed in Texas. I hope I see him in heaven.
I did too!! My dad was just like Merle Haggard! He played every musical instrument there was. He had all of the string instruments. Harmonica was the best sitting in a bar, never had to buy a beer!!! He could have been somewhere but kept his family happy. There was always Saturday night music on the front porch! Sorry...I just got carried away.....good memories. 🎻🎺🎼🎹
@@shirleyblades7491 I enjoyed hearing your stories, Shirley. May God bless you. Great memories!
Bellissimo video... Fantastica performance! 😊😇😇😇😇💘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this fabulous concert, Merle Haggard is the all time best country performer ever! His music and songwriting speak volumes and touch my heart and soul at a deep level, always feel good when I see Merle perform, I love him dearly!! May he live on in spirit as his music lives on here on Earth and in the hearts of all who know his music, his is sorely missed.
Merle is the best
merle was a great man.
I got a beer to cry in. Feels good he wasn’t nothing but the truth. Only only one of him. Real stuff.
W.W.ARIZONA. This brings back some memories for you I'm sure. He's playing in Heaven's band the Shaman you know said so. I cross my heart.
RIP Merle now that's what you call a great wonderful leader in all places and can be seeing within the greatest of all times ❤😊🎉
The year was 1993 and it was a hot August day when my mama died. Later on when going through her meager possessions, i found a Merle compilation tape with his music from the early '80s. I was a heavy metal guy, but i knew my mom loved this Merle guy, so out of respect for her i took the tape and listened. I was blown away by the 'realness' of Merle and his music. Touched me to the core and was hooked. Surely hope to shake his hand in Heaven some day and say a simple thanks, maybe even with a tear or two. Love you Merle. Rest easy.
Heavy metal Smdh
mr merle was one of the best right with willie nelson dom williams vern gosdin george jones george strait daryle sectary they was great their talent and bonnie owens was as sweet as roses we still have george strait and dean dillian songs made the man and a lot of others but merle has some wonderful sons to go on for him and they have the gift ivan from illinois. i,m just glad from the bottom of my heart that i got to hear them they helped my life

His music will be played forever, listening to this has helped me through this awful year. Sending his family love from Scotland. 😊🙏
Just great.Nobody like Merle.
Margo his music got me through NOT only the pandemic year, but my husband passed on in March of 2020, if I had not been able to listen to Merle and cry and yell and scream and just grieve...I wouldn't have made it!!
I love you man I’m from the USA and I’m only 22 this year and half the people I know don’t listen to this guy or even this old country outlaw shit
I’m so glad Merle’s Mom lived to se what a Talented musician He is.
Aye
Have listened to "The Hag" since he started. About the same age and will always believe he is "The best of the best."
Great live show -thanks,Ginger S
