I'm a 77 y-o Englishman. Never been to America, but watching and listening to this, and seeing that huge audience react brings tears to my eyes, I find it truly moving.
I've been to you country a total of four times. Each time better than the rest. I hope you are able to get to America someday and see this marvelous country with your own eyes. P.S. If you do get here, don't stop in NY.
@@sharonwhite8386 KK was the top ROTC Cadet of his graduating class of the Claremont Colleges ROTC Battalion (my battalion 25 tears later) and a Rhodes Scholar. He served in the US Army until, as a Captain, they wanted to send him to be an English Professor at West Point. He decided to resign and head to Nashville instead.

Today's so called country music singers couldn't hold a candle to these fine gentlemen. This is country music as it was meant to be. Nobody can touch Willie when it comes to this song. Best railroad song ever. Thank goodness for recording equipment. And the harmonica player does an excellent job
I'm a 33-year-old Turkish man. I live the American dream thanks to this song. I imagine myself driving on big and long roads in America listening to this song. I wish the old America would remain the same, free America. It is very different now. Greetings to a happy, peaceful and free America on its own continent
I'm a 68 year old female and have had a huge crush on every one of these men since i was 18 years old. Two of them gone. Two getting close. Their spirit and music will live immortal.
@@joshuabrooks4907 first thing I think of when I read Steve Goodman is “now my good friend Steve Goodman wrote that song, he said it was the perfect country and western song...”
I listened ro these legends when i was in high school. No pyrotechnics, no autotune or lip synch. Anyone of them could take their guitar, sit on a stool and transfix an audience for as long as they wanted. But combined, they were a force of nature that will never be equalled .
The Highway men are the personification of the US. Wonderful songs and music , pioneering spirit and a unique sense of freedom that made America great.
I feel like this is Willie performing at his best. His voice is perfect. Such passion and joy with Trigger in his hands. The whole group. These four men have influenced the entire world of Music. Giants among men who moved and taught with their voices and their guitars.
I'm a grown Norwegian male..56... This song made me cry. It's about the American dream and life....wat back when USA was the goal of every human being. My heart bleeds tears for USA every day what it's become. Peace
To me, the best version of this song. The harmonica, the harmonies, and the fullness of the sound, simply a masterpiece. One of those songs that just makes you want to pack your bags and get goin' with no destination in mind.
@@lindajensen9222 You are correct! However, I prefer this version to that of the studio version. I love the rawness of the sound and hearing the bass and all but that is just my preference. Cheers!
These guys were my go to guys. I always wanted to be part of the gang and hang out with them. 1 small note, Chris is spelt Kris. Waylon, a lot of ppl don't know, was the guy who gave up his seat on the airplane that snowy night "When the music died."
This is pure classic country. All are gone except Willie. All will never be forgotten. Great music with loved memories. RIP , Kris, Johnny, Waylon. Gone but not forgotten!!!!
How many times have they performed this together yet they still stand and admire each other during a solo. You can see they truly admire and respect each other and their talents. Class acts.
This is just pure, raw talent without all the extra crap. Just easy and natural. Willie Nelson is one of the best artists, song writers and musicians of all time.
My first concert was late for my generation. I saw Garth brooks and it cost me $25 through the fort. He couldn’t hold a tune as he jumped around the stage amid the smoke. Not my style. But Clapton or Billy Joel, no smoke, no mirrors just raw talent. I’m so disappointed I didn’t know country music during this brief period when “The Absolute Legends”, imho, were touring. Oh my! What a concert that had to have been! I’m absolutely not jealous of anyone who got to see them in concert. I’m happy for them. 😂😂
@@willienelson4964 thank you Willie for the years of entertainment as you have gotten me through some tough times listening to your songs whilst commercial fishing in treacherous waters in Australia over the past 50 years. Love you Mate.
They obviously love each song they play together.... So happy these tunes are on youtube to let the younger generation enjoy some of the GREATEST Country Rock stars!
Love the way Waylon looks watching Willie as he plays the guitar solo. It's so much more than simple admiration. You can tell he loved him as a brother in the music!
The best damn train song ever written, sung by four amazing artists. Song written by Steve Goodman, who was gone too soon, and made famous by Arlo Guthrie. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Arlo said that when Steve Goodman first played the song for him it was because he knew Arlo was a friend of Johnny Cash and Steve wanted Arlo to get it to Johnny. Arlo did take it to Johnny Cash who said he'd done enough train songs and would pass on this one.
I'm not American, but I can surely tell you guys you are blessed to live in USA. Beautiful music, wonderful culture and best of all freedom to be yourselves. Thumbs up
thank you for that important addition....bandmembers ALL are so important....every lil piece is part of the whole.talented!love the harmonica...what a sound!again thanks!
Willie Nelson. What a treasure he is. This is my favorite song of his. No one like him. He can sing, write, play guitar and entertain like only few others can match.
Back to the edge of a time when courageous men had carved a country out of a wilderness that covered a continent. Then came those who were softened by having too much plenty of everything, with no need to struggle, or do a days hard work for it, educated way beyond their innate ability, concieted, entitled and thinking they knew best, sneering and condescending to the ones who farmed the land, the linemen ,the maintenance men who fixed things when they broke. They insulted and undermined the stay at home mums who were doing that most important job of all, raising their kids right. They were called liberals, the ones who fkd it up. God bless you America and get well again soon.
Anyone who was there to see this was truly blessed cause these 4 were the heart of country music then and never realized they all 4 would be America's legends for decades to come and generations after generations still as loved as the night those 4 took the stage.🌹🤜🏻🤛🏼🇺🇸🙏🏻✝️✅⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎
This iconic guitar called Trigger. 99% of people would trow that at a dumbster, but it have such a special sound to it. Amazing. It's a classical guitar with nylon string and not a western.
Only one Highwayman left. I miss all three of the others. Long life to Willie. I'm sorry, I totally disregarded the original Highwaymen (the folk band). Steve Butts and and Stever Trott are still going strong
bjetpilot Willie and his two sons have been streaming live music under Lukas’ YT channel called quarantime. Willie’s two kids have a lot of the same characteristics as dad.
My husband used to sing this whilst out playing with his group. He passed away 2 years ago this week. I loved listening to him sing and this has brought back many memories for me.❤
I find this hard to watch. Four total individuals, all unique and brilliant with their own recognisable styles, coming together to play their songs. Two are gone and two are hanging on in there. Took all this for granted at the time but God I miss these rugged old troubadours. RIP country music.
thebadloser Fortunately, we still have these videos. We keep them all in our memories. Hello from France . heureusement il nous reste ces videos , pour les garder en mémoire . Bonjour de France .
I was lucky enough to see the Highwaymen live at about the time this video was made in an arena as large as this one. I may have been sitting in the highest seats far from the stage, but the energy and love that came from these performers was wonderful. It's great to see their faces up close - playing together, smiling and enjoying themselves. They may be outlaws, but they're also four country gentlemen.
I'm a 77 y-o Englishman. Never been to America, but watching and listening to this, and seeing that huge audience react brings tears to my eyes, I find it truly moving.
Ditto, but 82. Never tire of watching these giants of country music. Can believe them when they sing 'On the road again'.
47 Manx man an feel the same, best band ever
Willie is just amazing, he makes having an incredible talent look so easy.
They're all amazing musicians

He's been playing in Willie's band since the early 70's.
That fabulous harmonica player is Mickey Raphael. He's from Texas...Dallas. He's been with Willie for many years.

The voices, especially Willie's, so unique. Half of these are dead, Willie is 90 & Kris is 87. You can't beat a good country song.

Just pure class.

Sadly, we do know.
Of course they will
Don't be so sure.... I live in Nashville and the spirit still lives here and in many misty hollows. Just the next time there may be a few tattoos ....
Can you believe among the entirety of time all of us were alive at the same time this amazing collaboration was happening
Things happen in waves, there may happen something as wonderful as this again. In fact, there's a high chance of it. Whether it's soon, with the music industry how it is currently... probably not.
Love the rhythm and lyrics, this song has them all!
It just doesn’t get any better than this
May God retain the memory of Steve Goodman, author of one of the most marvelous and well written songs in any musical genre.
This is the one song that made Steve Goodman immortal, thanks to Arlo Guthrie.
I saw Steve play this ❤️
I had the pleasure of hearing Arlo do this at the Tanglewood in Lenox, M
To Steve Goodman.
Oh how I wish I could have seen this concert live. How incredible it would have been.
I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT - UNFORTUNATELY - THERE WILL NEVER BE ARTISTS AND
ENTERTAINERS AS OF THESE EVER AGAIN - THE GREATEST HAVE TOTALLY GONE..
Never say never ...
But it will require a massive reset.
You don't have an F - 15 do ya Airman ?

Today's so called country music singers couldn't hold a candle to these fine gentlemen. This is country music as it was meant to be. Nobody can touch Willie when it comes to this song. Best railroad song ever. Thank goodness for recording equipment. And the harmonica player does an excellent job
I didn't even need to click "read more"
I clicked that "like" button a sentence or so in 👍
Marvelous song
"New country" music is trash.
This is Country & Western, real music that represents America.
The harmonica player is called “Devil” reference the Willie song “The devil shivered in his sleeping bag” that’s him.
Jamey Johnson is the only artist that comes close to anything like this. Other than him I agree completely.
We were blessed to have all these men on one stage.
Steve Goodman has been gone more than 40 years, but that song keeps him alive.
All the greats.
When you look in Willie's eyes you instantly know that this a truely heartwarming person.
Rest in peace 🙏 Kris Kristofferson. You will be missed. And thank you for all the great music
Most iconic group of talented musicians God ever blessed with amazing talent!!! ❤

These Guys Are American Legends
Willie's pitch is remarkably precise here. Like Ella Fitzgerald.
There will never be another group like the Highwaymen. Listening to a few of their song is the best way to start the day.
Ann Moore They was the best. And always will be
You are so right, never see their like again thank god for giving them to us,they were/are the fab 4🎻🥈🎤 John Vaughan Kerry Ireland 👍
Or finish the day when you're enjoying a lovely Chardonnay and unwinding....after along day :)

for sure you can see Hoss Waylon admiring Willie play just in aaah
November 2024. This is brilliant!
Willie sounds like Willie every time. True talent.
he does something with the bass notes that just gives me goosebumps. Even after all this time...
Aleksey Ilo lol I like that comment
Aleksey Ilo and Obama’s only legacy allowing grown men into women’s bathrooms and funding Iran
bjetpilot Willie and his two sons have been streaming live music under Lukas’ YT channel called quarantime. Willie’s two kids have a lot of the same characteristics as dad.
Verdade, puro talento
I wonder if these guys had any idea what phenomenal icons they were to become. The most amazing guys in music ever!
Steve Goodman wrote it, and generations have celebrated it!
Yes he did and it was back in 1970. You should read the story of how he played for Arlo Guthrie.
Loved Arlo Guthries version
Yes..... that is why I thin it will continue long past my lifetime ....
The Highwaymen right on 🐦
My husband used to sing this whilst out playing with his group. He passed away 2 years ago this week. I loved listening to him sing and this has brought back many memories for me.❤
I find this hard to watch. Four total individuals, all unique and brilliant with their own recognisable styles, coming together to play their songs. Two are gone and two are hanging on in there. Took all this for granted at the time but God I miss these rugged old troubadours. RIP country music.
thebadloser Fortunately, we still have these videos. We keep them all in our memories. Hello from France . heureusement il nous reste ces videos , pour les garder en mémoire . Bonjour de France .
Mate, we're all hanging on in there right now. This is fab.
We still have Kris and Willie...cherish that and those that have vanished...
@@brianmcmillan7426 we don’t forget them. on ne les oublie pas .
I`ve not long started the guitar but these guys are my inspiration, what a concert, country music will never die!
RIP Kris Kristofferson. Reunited with Johnny and Waylon and im sure jammin right away. This is as good as it gets people
I was lucky enough to see the Highwaymen live at about the time this video was made in an arena as large as this one. I may have been sitting in the highest seats far from the stage, but the energy and love that came from these performers was wonderful. It's great to see their faces up close - playing together, smiling and enjoying themselves. They may be outlaws, but they're also four country gentlemen.
