- Check out this local news story about Willie Nelson and the 1974 Austin music scene. There is footage of Willie performing with Waylon's band and playing Waylon's Tele. The coolest thing about the footage is Waylon in his prime sitting on the couch beside Willie just listening to him. Waylon looks like he has likely been up for a few days. The Waylon footage plays again at the end zoomed in on him.
Waylon was day 6 of a 3 day bender
😀
I believe that.
He never hid the fact that he did drugs but can you imagine how worn out he was here as well.
😂
😂 No doubt!
Waylon looked like he was starting to trip balls in a room full of sober people and was trying hard to be cool and normal. Been there, buddy. ❤️
😅
A quiet box at a loud party
they had just got off stage from performing all night , but yeah they probably had a few drinks
@@cameroneagle4370 Yeah, just a few drinks 😂
I'm there right now
Waylon had not crashed yet, but he was definitely coming down for a landing...
Willie and Waylon are legends, and they made great music. But, Austin, today is the San Francisco of Texas, complete with human feces and hypodermic needles in the streets. Definitely, not an idyllic city, an embarrassment to Texas.
Waylon tried to get me to sell him beer one night after midnight in 1974. I worked at a shamrock station on riverside drive. Good times.
Love how Waylon just appears out of nowhere and doesn’t say a word lol. Just brooding in the background haha
He's coked out. Watch his breathing.
@@allenmckinney2082 yeah at the end of the video I zoomed in on him so he could be seen better. You obviously saw the same thing I did.
Still good to see Willie playing Waylons guitar
He was probably on lsd
Waylon was loud without saying a word.
The difference between coke & whiskey and marijuana right there as clear as day folks.
Unfortunately all those scumbags he was talking about have in fact ruined Austin
There is no more cool left in the world, it at died with Waylon.
Waylon looks BAKED!
That was back when the term “liberal” was a respected moniker. Today, in 2024, I am considered conservative to the core. Apples for apples, I would have been a liberal then.
Classic liberals are moderates nowadays. That's about where I am. Leave me alone and I'll return the courtesy. I have no desire to tell others how they should live
You won't NEVER have been a liberal in 1974.
Back then you'd be a white nationalists just like you are now.
"We don't want a bunch of *high roller, rip-off artists* from other parts . . . come in here and foul it up for the rest of the uh, people."
Well those people showed up in 2023 and gave themselves awards.
Truer words were never spoken my friend.
They showed up a lot earlier than 2023…
What a shame, Austin went from "weird" to "nuts". People are fleeing that city in droves.
My sister lived there for decades, loved it. Now she's selling & getting out- it's ruined.
Austin was going ripe from what I understand when I first visited a friend in 2006. Sure loved the weather and the food though. In the 70s it must had been a kind of paradise.
Actually their are leaving Florida in droves...
Thise folks from KOKE FM really should have helped poor Waylon out in his time of need.
Waylon on coke being interviewed on KOKE.
Lmao ..waylon is breathing 100 miles ah minuite. Coked out...lol.
Waylon is toast
Funny to see Willie chilling after a spliff and Waylon sweating out some speed.
Willie using Waylon’s guitar just looks weird lol
And Magical
I was going to see these guys every time they got close enough since the 70's til Waylon passed. And I've never seen either one play the other's guitar before. That was cool, couldn't believe it and barely documented.
I wondered if anyone else noticed that.
Been a long time since a reporter said he was going to talk to people with differing opinions
Willie playing waylon’s Telecaster
Music is better when it's organic and free. When the business creeps in it gets watered down and ruined. Rinse, repeat.
Hard to believe Waylon Jennings played on stage with Buddy Holly's last performance and escaped death by the coin flip.
Did the reporters simply not know that the guy next to Willie Nelson, 17 sheets to the wind, was Waylon Jennings!? You know, just a founding father of Outlaw Country, no big deal.
Haha! This is good television...
(“progressive” country;)
Waylon was meditating
That’s one word for it hahaha
Waylon was hammered!
Coked out and I think he has a joint in his hand LOL.
Good times!
✌💀👍🎸🎼🎶🎵🔥🇺🇸
Waylon was wiped out and Willie borrowed his guitar. I’m glad that later, Waylon kicked the drug habit and enjoyed his sobriety with his family.
He was diabetic. Jesse probably kept him alive as long as he was.
So sad we don’t have record stores anymore(very few). It was fun and nice to see everyone looking through the music. Everything online is just not the same 😢 😞
WJ
WAS TUNED
LIKE A MF
IVE HEARD IF YOU TRY TALKING ITS GIBBERISH
BUT I KNOW NOTHING OF THAT 😮😂😮😂😊😊
Awesome Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings 🎸👍
Willie talkin' but Waylon was the loudest in the room.
Waylon was just the King of the country outlaws. Enuff said.
The fattest man in this video was only like 195 lbs... Times have changed so much .. Their notion of a "Liberal" then would be a hard right conservative today.. Austin was Amazing until about 2005
That’s right. Example- A current very controversial candidate running in 2024 was a lifelong democrat and is now running as Republican and is slightly to the left of 90’s Bill Clinton. Today, he is the second coming of Mustache Man. 🤠
So please state what was considered liberal back in 1974.
Can't wait the hear your nonsense.
..And ADD and Glutin Allergies were unheard of...I wonder what happened?
Ive lived in Austin for a long time and its still cool if you know what your doing and where to be. Every city changes and some changes I dont like some but some I do, and thats life. Your city isnt the same as it was in 1974 either. A bunch of fools carrying on in this thread. Id just celebrate that we have this footage from that time and music these legends gave us. Willie still is the #1 guy in Austin. Yea he may technically live in spicewood but he has done so much for the city over the years. you guys have no idea how much charity stuff he has done. He is truly an awesome human. Now more interestingly, its not that often you see him playing Waylon's tele. Though ive seen him play a strat and sometimes he even pulls out a crazy green headless electric. But no one sees such things at regular shows of course, people would be shocked to see Willie without Trigger.
You can't walk 6th street without getting hassled by Methheads and homeless people while fights breaks out in the middle of the street. And you currently have a possible serial killer on the loose that the city refuses to acknowledge. But okay Austin is cool.
The Koke fm radio station was a nice touch😂
You know for how much Waylon was on coke, I think this is one of the only times Waylon was very obviously not sober on camera, there’s definitely been other times he wasn’t sober on camera but he didn’t make it anywhere near as obvious on camera as much as he did here
He was HOT. I don't care if he was baked or not😋💋
It’s all about the cocaine to whiskey ratio
Lots of skinny people in 1974.
Outlaws and Heroes.
Good one
This is such a real treat. So nostalgic. A snapshot of beautiful musical history. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I'm just glad that I happened to find it hidden in the middle of a seriously long video of news stories catalogued under WFAA - Jones Collection @ SMU.
Austin is essentially the Berkeley (CA), or Portland (OR) of Texas.
Lol Waylons fucked up right here
Been awake about 7
6
waylon was so naturally cool
Waylon's a man of few words. My kind of man.
If this isn’t a public service message for reefer, I don’t know what is. Don’t do pills Kids! Waylon barely hanging on.
Just a good ole boys…
How high are Waymore and Willie in this clip???? "I'll never smoke weed with Willie again..."
Waylon was way out there 😁
No mention of or even words from Waylon who was sitting right there?
I'm right there with you that it is WEIRD that though he was shown on the news, NOT ONCE did they even say his name, and they didn't broadcast him saying even one word. Something is really screwy.
Waylon’s presence was adequately strong that he needed no introduction.
Dude didn't even know there was a camera there
Thanks for the great video! Waylon was interviewed by another channel at the same time :D And good to see that Willie hasn't been old for ever :)
Wow that is great to know! Is there footage of that available anywhere?
@@waylonvids No, I just mean that he was so high that he was on "another channel" :D There's for sure no footage of that :D :D :D
@@VK-vm4xe lol sorry I didn't catch that!
Wow Waylon was reeeally not sober there xD 2:31
He looked worn out.
Waylon look ripped
He looked very tired for sure.
Waylon was smoking a joint he was probably coked up too.
Awesome rare footage of Waylon. I was hoping he was going to talk a bit
Looks like he couldn’t……..😵💫
Can’t get much better than this shit lol
Waylon high as fuck
“Wouldn’t want any high rollers or rip off artists from other parts of the world, to come and take over”………….and then guess what happened……CALIFORNIA.
You mean Nashville, correct...
Austin turned in to what Willie didn’t want. Waylon would hate it.
Yea it’s a hell hole alright
That’s why he lives in Hawaii and hangs with Don Nelson, Woody Harrelson, and Owen Wilson.
In the 1970’s I would occasionally have to stay with my grandparents. They were not fans of rock and roll except for Elvis. But they would religiously tune into Austin City Limits. Occasionally ASL would feature a rock act and that was totally fine with them. It was totally fine with me too!
Could you please upload the full Austin City Limits Songwriters Special from Season 5 in 1980? With Willie Nelson, Hank Cochran, Red Lane, Floyd Tillman, Whitey Shafer, and Sonny Throckmorton; It has The Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council logo, Austin City Limits intro and funding credits, Lickona's introduction, closing and funding credits, and the 1971-1984 PBS logo at the end.👍
If I had it I would post it for sure.
Is Marty Stouffer the commentator?? Wild America!!
Waymore prolly got a McDonald's straw in his pocket.
Waylon toe up from the floe up. The GOAT!
Gotta love Waylon Jennings ❤
Every type of music has it high point. Overall music has been done for some time now. The is Nothing that has not been done before, musically.
@@davidcchi3373this is true. The style of music that Waylon Jennings wrote, recorded, produced, played, sang, lived and breathed was no doubt the greatest of the genre.
Waylon was messed up!
willie playing waylons geetar is something i had never seen before
I hadn't either
Me either.
Waylon high as a kite........
Poor austin...what happened to you?
It kept turning left. Theres a point that someone needed to take the wheel.
@@de7403 dude fk off
3 lefts make a right
@@adamtheede2575 but only after two wrongs. Yea, it comes full circle, but it isn't there yet.
i feel waylon's struggle to stay calm. lol ready to tell them to move on so i can hit another bump
Haha, Ole Watasha pleading the 5th on this one, smart man. Higher than Cooter Brown 😂
KOKE FM in Austin - Ya just can't make this stuff up
Lmao right?!
Hoss looked like he was on a 6 day bender
Waylon's on day 5 of a 3 day bender.
Waylon speaking cool
Good Lord 😂 Jennings is shyt mixed🥴
Waylon and Willie had been up for at least 10 days when this interview took place. Austin’s own KOKE, indeed
@willienelsonofficialfaninb2888 Willie & Waylon were the soundtrack to my childhood. Specifically, Red headed stranger, Waylon live & “The Outlaws” with Jessie and Tompall. My grandmother would play those three records over and over again and I would sing along with her. I got my love of rocknroll & songwriter stuff like Leon Russell & Paul Simon from my dad’s records & my love of the outlaw stuff came from grandma. Later on I immersed myself in George & Tammy, Buck and the Buckaroos and Hag, and of course Hank. expanded my country horizons, but my grandma strictly loved the outlaw stuff, thank god she taught me all about those records. Now I dig Shooter and Hank 3, Jason Isbell, great newer artists like those. This is the music of my life and thank you for posting this stuff for us. Happy trails to you
It's funny the station was named "koke fm" that probably field the whole station lol waylon was so high he lost the power of speech lol
Austin is nearly ruined by yuppies in cognito
Koke (coke) fm lol 😮😅
Hey Waylon!
Waylon 🤣🤣🤣
Love this shit , I can smell it
take yo bath
I can't smell anything. My nose is full of candy
Now Rogan lives there and it sucks.
Lol
I honestlt forget he's even here.
Jennings' on the nod
Waylon looks really high. It's sad to see him like that but he's looking very handsome as always.
More like disheveled or at the end of a long day.
I think Waylon is just damn tired y’all. A little high? Probably… Maybe some beers over the limit… ? Yeh… Could be. But… Come oooon, looks confy on that couch, chillin’ with his blunt listenin’ his Pal talkin’. Thats all.
Beautiful song I grew up on as a child 💜🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🙏🙏 Amen Jesus is coming back
Jesus is coming back ? Lol. That's what Christians have been saying for 2000 years. Your myth is a joke. Why don't you try taking responsibility for yourself instead of praying to imaginary nonentities ?
How very tolerant and accepting you are and yes, most Christians do tend to take responsibility for themselves along with having a little faith in their lives.
Plus, using the brains God gave them and all of us.
we still drink LoneStar and Shiner 1:41
W A Y L O N
My Stars was Waylon a Hottie! Gorgeous! RIP ⭐️
Coincidentally, the record shown spinning at KOKE at 1:21 is from the Grateful Dead’s “Skullf-ck” album.😂
"KOKE FM....we'll keep you up all night."
....or something like that. lol
@@GetMasty at one point, KOKE's logo was a sterling silver razor blade.
KOKE FM, lol
I don't like your shirt Bruce.
Wow barely any obese people.
Waylon 😂😂😂😂
Waylon looks like hell
But cool
Tryin' to keep the demons at bay..... been there.....
cool seeing Willie on a Tele.
Koke FM!!
Waylon was no left wing lunatic.
Sure buddy
he was anti politics if anything
listen to yoyos bozos bimbos and heroes if you haven’t, i’m sure you have, he rips politicians
Back when Austin's glory days
This is great stuff to hear.
People can be themselves in Austin,Texas!
These two were uh up for a few nights at this point during filming 😵💫😳😆
