I can't count the times I've sung this song while practicing my stock and trade, driving a truck down a Texas highway. Miss you Jerry Jeff! It won't be too long until I'll see you in concert again.
I've never put so many "likes" on fellow commenters as I have here. There are many of us that loved him and will always cherish what Jerry Jeff brought. I will be a fan the rest of my life. Thank you JJW.
1973 and I was in a friends living room, using the couch for a week or so, sitting on the floor by the record player lifting the needle off the record and putting it down again. I learned every song off Jerry Jeff Walker and haven’t turned back since! Still have a bunch in my repertoire! Through JJW I learned of Guy Clark, Townes, and a slew of other great Texas country heroes! As well as David Bromberg! I’ve seen him live numerous times, once in a small bar in Gunbarrel, CO outside of Boulder. I was 12 feet from him. One of the greatest nights ever! JJW is a true an American treasure who wrote/sang the soundtrack of a lot of my life. Thanks, Scamp!!
One of the original Texas Outlaws. Doing it his way, long before the title was even coined. One of a kind. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. RIP JJW 🤠
I had to comeback to watch these in the Van. Great recording. Icon Legend. People don't realize how important This man was to Music. He left the red clay and then made Red Dirt..
You're so right. Since I was maybe 11 years old I've loved his music. Seen him twice at Rodeo in Waco, once outside downtown Waco, on the Brazos. So many know what he brought. So many have never heard of him. The camaraderie I have with fellow commenters on TH-cam is like the only people that understand. He did it his way. Thank you, man. (will never be another even close)
Love this! I had the amazing and unique opportunity to see JJW twice while working at a camp his daughter went to... he came out each summer and did a private show for the kids and staff that was incredible. One year it was outside in our little amphitheater and the next year it rained, so he did in the office over the camp loudspeaker system. Because I was not on "cabin duty," I was with a group of about two dozen that sat on floor around his feet. OMG it was so cool!!!
Jerry Jeff would have been 79 today-he died just last Oct.We saw him open for Willie Nelson in 1977 or '78.He grabbed a guitar,saw that it wasn't in tune,so he grabbed another one,and it wasn't in tune either,so he grabbed a third one,and it wasn't in tune either-he threw in down on the stage butt first so hard it bounced!!Alcohol might have been involved[it was with us].When Willie played we went right in front of the stage and passed joints around with Willie and his band.Glory days!!!
Saw Jerry Jeff and the Lost Gonzo in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 72.....never heard of him as I was into Rock'n Roll.....girlfriend insisted...let's go. They were fly'n high and the show was awesome....beer flow'n like water.....one of the best times of my life up there in those hills. As far as Jerry Jeff I'm a fan for life....one of the most under rated performers singers .....Go Jerry Jeff......EDS
I saw and heard Jerry Jeff in Houston, Tx. in the summer of '73 for the first time while visiting some friends. Being a long hair from NC I had never heard of him, didn't have a clue who he was. Anyway, he comes out on the stage clearly about 1/2 kicked in the ass and goes, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm Jackie Jack Walker and this here is the Lost Gonzo Band" then he starts his show off with this tune, clearly having a ball and lovin' what he's doing and proceeded to rock the joint. I was an instant fan and have been ever since. You go Jackie Jack!! Still the Outlaw, don't ever change, just keep on keepin' on!Love Ya Brother, thanks for SO many good memories
Scottsdale, Arizona ... Harvey Wallbangers ... a real honky tonk show, back in '91 or '92.. Keep on keepin' on ... Ray Wylie is still 'Livin it Day to Day'
I saw Jerry Jeff in the 80's at Worlds of Fun amusement park in Kansas City. The rides where closing down, and all the tourists were leaving to pick up the kids, and Jerry said "now that it's just the real fans, everybody come up front and we'll start the real show". He played for another hour. I don't know how he got away with it. I remember leaving, walking through the dark amusement park [almost got lost] thinking THAT WAS AMAZING. I saw him a couple of other times too and he always had fun, and ALWAYS delivered
Ol' Scamp has not lost a step! Jerry Jeff has always been the greatest TX country artist and always will be. They broke the mold when God made him! Love you Scamp!
The BEST show that I EVER saw was in 1987 here in my hometown of Charleston, WV. Jerry Jeff Walker did a solo show at The Capitol Theatre, which used to be a movie theatre. He played what seemed like 150 songs and joked and cut up with the audience between almost every song. Man I wish I had the show taped!
He's a treasure. First saw him in 1976 in Tuscaloosa. Met him after the show at Lee's Tomb, the bar, downtown. Been a part of my life for over 40 years. Tough to see him getting old.
Hey Jerry....keep on pickin'...we first met back in December 1967 when my band (Dreamland Choo Choo) was opening up for your old band, Circus Maximus (and The Hello People). I played bass back then and you and one of your bandmates came out from backstage and sat and listened to us and you seemed to enjoy it. Thank you for that and all the great music.
only a loser that has nothing on his mind but stupid thoughts and probably has no idea about American culture and real music. yea only a scum bag would leave a thumbs down to one of the greatest balladeers of all times.... sorry sack of $%^&* I love ya Jerry Jeff.. you are my hero and have been for many decades..
Face it- the man was immortal.
I can't count the times I've sung this song while practicing my stock and trade, driving a truck down a Texas highway. Miss you Jerry Jeff! It won't be too long until I'll see you in concert again.
Met him once in a small venue in Augusta GA. Jerry signed my Viva Terlingua Album. One of most prized possessions.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢
I've never put so many "likes" on fellow commenters as I have here. There are many of us that loved him and will always cherish what Jerry Jeff brought. I will be a fan the rest of my life. Thank you JJW.
I am in tears. Thank you so much for sharing this. Jerry Jeff will be sorely missed for at least as long as I continue breathing.
One of the Greats! RIP Jerry.

This video is how I found Jerry Jeff years ago, I can’t thank you enough for that.
Here's to the man who taught this rock'n'roller to love country music. Viva Terlingua was a revelation to me.
Jerry having fun love seeing them all together jammin’.
Man those smiles say it all, JJW was still having a ball playing music till the later years!
This is so KOOL MY KIND OF. MUSIC.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
And I just realised how wide my own smile is
We need more Jerry Jeff Walkers in Texas and beyond! Rest east cowboy \m/

JJW’s voice is still strong, and his ability to think quick and adapt song’s lyrics makes him a great songwriter, and SO MUCH FUN!!!
Johnny Bush and Jerry Jeff Walker - both gone from this world in the last few days. They'll live forever! RIP
Billy joe shaver as well 😔
RIP. Jamming from Malaysia.
Jerry's never gonna get old... God has blessed is all
These guys have that look where you know they can play. Mr. Bojangles makes me cry and Trashy Women makes me smile. I love that.
You are missed my friend,u help me get thru a lot of hard times

Jerry Jeff’s music always makes me smile. RIP!
Rest In Peace. Jerry. Thanks for the great music. You will be missed

Well it's not really a monster track Mike. Like heck. Scamp Walker Jammin' In The Van. Love the tune, love Jerry Jeff, love Jam in the Van.
Shear genius, l reckon that Jerry Jeff did what he loved to do pretty much until the day he died:) How good is that?
I've been there since Riding High, still sounds great. I'm a fan forever.

Jerry Jeff, BIG inspiration!!
Jerry Jeff Walker is bigger than life
Ol' Scamp has not lost a step! Jerry Jeff has always been the greatest TX country artist and always will be. They broke the mold when God made him! Love you Scamp!
Got to see him perform on a small stage in Conroe, TX. Legendary performer.
The BEST show that I EVER saw was in 1987 here in my hometown of Charleston, WV. Jerry Jeff Walker did a solo show at The Capitol Theatre, which used to be a movie theatre. He played what seemed like 150 songs and joked and cut up with the audience between almost every song. Man I wish I had the show taped!
The band has no idea what he's gonna sing next - neither does Jerry. Brilliant and a lot of fun!
It works out that way sometimes.
All you good people,
It doesn’t get more human than this.
There's a great band having fun right there
He's a treasure. First saw him in 1976 in Tuscaloosa. Met him after the show at Lee's Tomb, the bar, downtown. Been a part of my life for over 40 years. Tough to see him getting old.
U are missed my friend,your songs are my life!

JJ, Guy, and Prine, in my heavenly van!

Masterpiece.

This is what it's all about....a profound philosophical diatribe!
Saw him at Cain's Ballroom in 1979 and it was standing room only
I love the studio version of that .
Loved him all my life😢
Damn this is good
Saw Jerry Jeff with Willie in Texas, 1977. Both were drunker than Cooter Brown (so was I),,,😅

The real deal.
Anyone knows the names of the band members, especially the lead guitar player? Thx.
Who are his band members? The guitarist sounds really good.
Gregg allman....haha looks like him sort of
I had to do some digging around but I found him, Craig Hillis is the guitarist. The whole band sounds really good.
+Mark Hershey That's Brad Fordham on bass. Saw him in concert backing Dave & Phil Alvin. He's sill in their band. He's credited on their last album.
The Blasters!!
Catch that beat, and head on down the road! :)
