How in the hell could anybody put a thumbs down to the one only OUTLAW and the best musician that walked through this life. WAYLON4LIFE
Someone who knows nothing about what a great artist is.A legend. They have no clue what it's all about.
Love Waylon
That's what I call Down Right stupid!!!!
My husband love the song rainy day woman

Who misses Waylon.?
I know i do..
He is with his friend now and he is free of that diabetes that riddled his body
We the family do, Forever..
I do but I love that we can always go back to the records and interviews. One of the great things about saving our vinyl. Also one of the great things about the internet. Waylon was one of the greats!
@@susiehaynie1767
Yes Madam, my whole point exactly - it's just good to hear from some of the great Waylon fans such as yourself that's all,
thank you sharing back your reply Susie - much respects to you..
My most prized possession is an autographed photo I reseaved in 1994 from Waylon!
Waylon, Buddy, Ritchie and The Big Bopper. R.I.P. All of you! Shawn
At least still got Dion, Willie, and Mr. John Fogerty around today.
I'm convinced the events that happened that night changed Waylon. I love the man and I'm so blessed to have made my pass thru this universe while he was here and I'm blessed to have seen him. People think they'd like to win the lottery. All the money in the world wouldn't bring him back. If you got to know who Waylon was and you love his music, you won the lottery.
I dont know the man personally, but he seems like a genuinely humble human being. The kind of person that's a friend to the end. Thanks for the memories Mr Waylon.
I was at dinner with Waylon and Jessie one night when a young man came to the table and asked him if he was Waylon. Waylon really made the young man feel comfortable, said he was, and gave him an autograph. Others in the restaurant just looked but decided not to bother us while we ate. After dinner, we went outside to the car and a young lady came up to me and asked if that was Jessie Colter and I said it was. She got all excited and asked me if she could get a photo with her and I said I would ask her. I did and Jessie met the young lady and gave her an autograph. Waylon called her over and also gave her his autograph.
He was always a real gentleman and never once ignored the man on the street.
I will always miss him.
🤘
Oh, he's a real gentleman!!! A true blue person!!!❤😂
I was just at the Surf Ballroom 2 weeks ago and saw Waylon's autograph on the wall of the famous green room backstage. The fact that he didn't return to the Surf until 36 years after that snowy and tragic night says a lot about how haunted Waylon was by the memories and at the time a seemingly innocuous joke
To be fair, as Waylon got more famous, he played bigger venues.
@@stanleycoop7204 he still played a venue's that size if you watch his TH-cam videos
Il a eu de la chance de perdre le pari autrement il serrai mort avec les légendes dans l'avion
Reposer en paix les legendes
Greatest musician to have ever stepped foot on a stage
I saw this concert at the SURF in person April 22,1995. I had my ear right next to the speaker. Greatest concert I ever went to. I got to stand within 40 ft of WAYLON. Jesse was there too. Wish I cold relive that night. WAYLON was a sweet humble man with an outstanding voice and the KING of country music. imo. He had his own music and I can name a WAYLON tune in 3 notes. :-) I truly miss being able to see him in live concert.
He is still hurt about it and his guilt is heavy in his heart!! Waylon R.I.P. You a great man!!!
TheRonnie63 I saw that to much like when a parent of ours passes and you forever wonder what you could have done different
@@spectrumlocalb191 believe me I know what that is like , I hear you
I lost my Dad about 2 years ago and I still have questions that I seek answers to
@@spectrumlocalb191 he never got over that joke between him and Buddy thats not why the plane crashed
I always wonder why anyone feels guilty about someone's death. God is in charge and always will be. Nothing to feel guilty about. You can't change someone's "time", only God can do that. He choses when we go, period.
I attended this concert when Waylon returned, standing room only and I was front row center stage all evening about 15 feet from where Waylon sung. Greatest memory I have of Hoss.
That poor man must have been so haunted. Still an absolute legend in his own right.
That Sarky Trans Guy -survivors guilt is a long damn day.
Been there and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Buddy really believed in him when he didn't even know how to play bass. He wanted to produce him and Ritchie when they finished the tour.
He was haunted, for sure...you say legend in his own right...he's just a legend! Anyway you want to look at it...Waylon Jennings will always be remembered.
Kevin Prima It was only a joke as he’d given up his seat to help BB out. Young ppl do joke and guys use jokes via emotional dramatic stuff.
Still our memory...
I love Waylon and Buddy Holly too and I wish they were still here today
I can’t imagine how much guilt this poor man felt once he heard about what happened.
Loved Waylon gone to soon! RIP HOSS! You will never be forgotten! Buddy would be proud of the legend you became! That terrible plane crash was not your fault! Buddy would be the first to say so !! RIP Buddy you are not forgotten either!! ❤️
Buddy probably met at the gate.
Beautiful words my friend, 👌👍👍👍
Waylon got me into country music in the `70s...read his bio in the `90s and liked the guy even more...he and his music will be sorely missed.
The last time he was there was that very NIGHT in 1959!!
Imagine that!😲
this man looks completely photogenic. He was actually more handsome as he got older. He looked like a different person.
That's interesting because I did think he was much more Handsome when he was younger but I kind of do see what you mean now.. funny thing is yes he does look completely different.. especially the look in his eyes is very different .
Yes, no more drugs.
Well said. Really clear way of speaking too.
He definitely changed as he got older...his voice did too. In his early days it was almost always smooth...as he got older he got that gravely sound that come to define him. He was the man!
@@kevinshoemakermusic3850 cocaine and cigarettes will do that to a man's voice
The Man, The Outlaw, The Legend..
Simply love Jennings. Great singer/songwriter. Good looking guy too. The whole package. Listen to his songs all the time - in New York City. Thanks Waylon.
I love listening to Waylon’s stories as much as I love his music.
What a cool man. I could listen to his music for the rest of my life and it would never be enough.
God bless you Waylon. God bless Buddy, and JP, Ritchie, and Tommy too.
Absolute legend. R.I.P Big man
He was a very lucky man to have been in their lives - look at it as a blessing .
Got see Waylon in concert back 1988. Me and sister. In Mpls by Cherry spoon area. Outside concert. God bless Waylon and Buddy Holly and Richie Valens and Be Bopper. Up in heaven now.
Hi Julie
When I get depressed put one of his CDs on and it brings me out of it. I LOVE WAYLON
Years ago
Waylon wrote a song called Old Friend dedicated to his friend Buddy Holly. Well worth taking a listen to.
Also A long time ago. Great song
@Kevin Prima they were joking around with each other. Those words also haunted him for years...
Just a couple of young guys bantering back and forth. "Well I hope your bus freezes up" " Oh yeah, well I hope your old plane crashes" Neither of them thinking it could ever happen. And then it did.
@@garyfaught3769 exactly!
Waylon that's the way me and my best friends say we love each other you were in no way responsible. That was all way before even my parents time but I'm sure buddy would say don't you dare feel guilty shit happens I still hope your ol bus freezes up love you Waylon I'll see you in heaven well jam together r.i.p. both of you
I'm 67 yrs old and I remember when they died,so very sad ,they were good clean musicians,may they rest in peace
You were just a little kid then... wow were your parents into Buddy Holly or Big Bopper .. or did you have older siblings that were into them ?
I was 18 when it happened. We all sat round with guitars and had a sort of wake. Crazy thing is a young guy there age 15 who was learning guitar and would many many years later actually tour with the crickets on lead guitar was my friend .Name. Albert Lee. He goes every year to Surf ballroom in Feb for the 59 anniversary.
John I hope you got good and liquored for the boys my friend. must have been a horrible day. what were you doing when you heard? Hopefully you go with Albert this year. Amazing stories Albert must have as well
Absolutely handsome, charming, and talented man. What a loss. He had it all.
Waylon was one good looking man! 😍
I could listen to him all day.
I knew Waylon when he played at JDs in Scottsdale. He wasn’t very approachable but once you talked to him he was really a gracious and personable guy. I miss him.
My he was so dam good looking.and also a great performer.so sad this man passed away.
Waylon is the staple for classic country music 🎵 he is classic country at it's best
After such an experience as the crash of the plane is no longer the same person as before and you have to fight with security hard with himself and the world! Waylon must have had a damn strong will, and also character to work out of it again and especially to find the courage nevertheless, with the memories of the lost friends to continue to make music and find his own way. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to see him live, but his music lets him live on at least in the memory. Also here in Germany.
I hope my English is good enough to understand what I want to say! Unfortunately, I do not have too often the opportunity to practice my American English! Waylon Jennings was one of the best musicians I have heard.
I visited Waylon's gravesite in Mesa last month. Love that man❣️
Hi Judith
Waylon, the man was one of a kind!
I wrote a story once that Buddy Holly missed the plane but lost his memory in a car crash and then years later remembered. It was a labour of love and wishful thinking. My research for the story revealed how Waylon was given a bass guitar by Buddy and told to learn it which he did despite misgivings.
Nice video. Not sure how no more views and comments. A huge part of music history! Buddy and Waylon were so close.
Waylon was one of the best out there
This took courage to do. A measure of the man himself. Buddy and Waylon gone way too soon.
Always find it interesting that his most popular songs are great but not necessarily his best. Dig into his catalogue. It’s is incredible. Especially 60s and 70s
Especially 70s. A good album that’s pretty fun is the life story one he did in 88.
This gentleman is real. Listen to his lyrics! I believe he is a GOOD human.
Saw Waylon with the Crickets, twice in Iowa in the late 70s. Great shows. The man was a legend. He had Jessi Colter with him one year.
"Because of that decision, I'm alive--and he's dead," Waylon said tearfully of Buddy Holly in an A & E interview. He was referring to giving up his seat on the Cessna to the Big Bopper. Tommy Allsup gave up his seat to Ritchie Valens after a coin toss. It haunted Jennings for the rest of his life, despite his successful musical career. He comes across in this interview as a down-to-earth and likable man.
RIP Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and Waylon Jennings. Your contributions mean a lot to me! 😄😺🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎶🎶🎵🎼🎼
Cessna? I don't know who you're talking about but you better get your facts straight if you're going to act like you know what you're talking about, Cessna! Dumbass
I used to ride my bike past the Surf Ballroom a lot as a kid. I miss living in Clear Lake.
I still believe he was the best to ever do it. I love a lot of the greats but Waylon is my favorite.
I love Waylon and have since a little girl (kind of a long time, now).
You're beautiful Rachel
You have fabulous taste! I’ve always thought he had the most beautiful face... his strong features were so unique and masculine. Very handsome. My teenage daughter has a pic of young outlaw Waylon on her bulletin board.
@@joshrichardson3837 good try mate...she is a cutie...and loves waylon! Sounds too good to be true
Lol add me on Myspace
Hi Rachel
Thank you for posting. Waylon and Mark Knofler’s version of ‘Learning The Game’ is spellbinding.
He's been with Buddy since 2002, and I'm sure they're making beautiful music with and for the Lord, up above the stars, right now
Waylon was just so Laid Back and so Cool, and oh yes Handsome..
I just found out my brother visited the crash site 10 years ago. He never mentioned it. Had no idea my brother never told me ever was in Iowa. I envy him.
So much for Dion's story!
lm almost 56.. fan since 76. im proud of that..
Scott Allen -- Heard him for the first time - Fall of '76-- Windham,Oh.,on the jukebox @ Club 303- I was 11 years old. Had beach pop on the brain, I was fresh back to Ohio from Long Beach, CA. COMPLETELY CHANGED MY MUSICAL DIRECTION. Nick.Carpenter.505 @ FB--check it out to see where I wound up.
I love bubby holly i was one year old then, every time i go to lubbock i go to his grave.
R.i.p
@@nickcarpenter1196 I ditched my Facebook... so..... I can't go see where you ended up... but sounds like you may have ended up something to do with music or country music
66/74 for me
Truly a man's man RIP Waylon and say hi to Buddy for us :)
🐎🐴🦢
I did the buddy Holly wk, end at the surf ballroom for 3o years running !! I have tons of memorabilia and I can't imagine what to do with it at the ripe old age I am now !! What an awesome weekend, and my name is on a brick outside of the surf, God bless them guys !! Life long memories ❤❤❤
That haunted poor Waylon. made him Lonesome onry and mean. Love the real country. R.I.P Waylon
Extremely interesting. I love this musician, must have been a real trauma... he was so young when it happened
Gone missed but never forgotten
That was awesome what he told Mark Knopfler, Buddy's song remained like he recorded it
Love Waylon and Buddy was the best!!!
Waylon is the man period!!!!!
A VALUABLE LESSON IN LIFE HERE IS LEARNING TO FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR YOUR MISTAKES AND CIRCUMSTANCES; BUT, THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IS TO LEARN FROM THEM AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST PART THAT A LOT OF US FIND HARD TO GRASP! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Saw him and Jesse once. They were great.
My wife and I visited the crash site last weekend-- I wondered whether Waylon had ever visited the site. It had to be tough living life after that tragedy-- knowing that it could have been his own life ending.
Waylon Jennings is the only man I ever saw who would not claim bankruptcy so he didn’t have to pay his debts. He paid everyone off he exercised. He is or was a honest man. Yes he had a rough time with drugs but he whipped them and still had a successful life. I loved Waylon. Allot because of his talent but one reason is he looked allot like my late husband. Fact is in this video here he looks so much like Bill it makes me cry. I love you Waylon. I’m so proud of you for whipping that drug problem. I’m so glad you met Jesse cause she was the exact one for you.
Thank you so much for this interesting vidéo
Hi Terry
I love you Waylon Jennings. You are still my favorite to listen to.
Hes a real emphat .he inspire people around him and got lost but he knows to come back and learned lesson about it and go straight
Awesome interview
He sticks to the subject and doesn't self indulge.
Er war so ein sympathischer Mann !!!!! Und einer der besten Country Sänger ‼️‼️
I love Waylon!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ A great, great man......
Missy you are a Waylon addict like me. I see you posted on all his videos. Just wanted to say hello and tell you that you have great taste in music. God Bless!

Has a great voice even when he talks
Thats why he was the narrarator for Dukes of Hazzard
Waylon, Buddy, Ritchie, Big Bopper, gave us very, very much happiness. All giants, rest in peace.
Waylon was a great man !
the best rip Waylon
+Donna Buckner Buckner Favoloso.il piu' grande cantante country.
Donna Buckner Buckner I did not know he even passed
I was NEVER fortunate to be able to go to ant concerts. I'M 79 and would have LOVED to go to at least one!
What a man! RIP
Listen to Waylon's song old friend it's on the Are you ready for the country album 1976 it's about Buddy you can hear the pain he still missed Buddy I believe the hard times he spoke of going through in the song are the drugs and the crash played a big part in his addiction for so many years
Thankyou sweetheart hugs .
Not only was he a great musician but a heck of good looking man. I hope before he died he realized how much he was loved by his followers, and appreciated and loved himself.
Bunch of young guys with some awsome early early
Rockin Role..
I wonder how much R and R
They had in them...
What a terrible loss...
Loved Waylon. :-) ms charlie, texas :-)
RIP Buddy, Richie, Bopper and Roger Peterson. RIP Waylon you were so great.
Such an honest, genuine person
He carried so much guilt over that tragedy. 19 years old that's alot to put on a kid at his age during that time. The guilt over giving up his seat on the plane and then joking with Buddy and saying I hope your plane crashes. Waylon was terrified for years that the press would find out and people would have him for that.
Mic Joseph Vid's I’d like to think Buddy met Waylon at the gates with a, “nice goin’”, and they both had another chuckle about the whole thing.
If Waylon Jennings had died we would never have had The Dukes Of Hazzard theme tune.
Darren Herbert very very True !!
Or Dukes of Hazzard. I read somewhere that the only reason cbs picked up the show and aired it is because Waylon was involved with it.
Worst thing he ever did
@boo boo No. It wasn't. And the show sucked balls.
@@bobwilson360 you shut your fucking mouth and show some respect to waylon Jennings and one of the best tv shows ever you understand me you fucking idiot
It's kind of interesting that Dion never mentions Waylon and vice versa, when they speak of the tour and the crash.
I agree. These people just don't seem to be in touch with the truth and the real world. What a shame that egos are more important.
rooseveltnut i
I just watched an hour long Dion interview that contradicts EVERYTHING said here. Wonder what the truth is.
xJRx77 The truth is what Waylon and Tommy said happen in the days, weeks and months after the tragedy! Dion waited till the deceased could no longer speak on their behalf!!!
@@wallacebell4311 you speak THE TRUTH
I'm Singaporean so almost fell out of my chair when he suddenly mentioned Singapore
Tommy and Richie flipped a coin and that makes sense because the plane was chartered for Buddy and his band. Why Dion said that it didn’t happen that way doesn’t make sense because of what I just said. It was for Buddy’s band not Richie or the Big Bopper.
I still listen to Waylon daily in 2024.
I sure do miss him!
He radiated cool.
The idiot at the controls of the plane was NOT aircraft instrument qualified. Question: what happened to the owner and supervisors of the air service who sent them up in a snowstorm, and then a whiteout! Was anybody even charged with any crime? This was pure murder folks....
That’s what I say to
Garry not Linda. I saw an interview here on TH-cam about a year ago with Waylon on one of the Anniversaries that was very interesting and added a different slant to the story. Waylon said that there is no doubt in his mind that the person at the controls when that plane crashed was Buddy! He said Buddy chartered a plane several times to fly from Lubbock to Clovis, New Mexico, to Norman Petty's recording studio and back. He said that they would no sooner get off the ground and Buddy would grab the controls of the plane and he didn't see any reason why that night would've been any different. As far as air traffic control, it was 1959, I doubt there would've been much contact necessary needed from that little airport at that time. Here in the buckle of the rust belt they would've needed to check in when near a major city airport which on the way from Clear Lake, Iowa to Fargo, North Dakota, there weren't many. It was a very different time and place.
With out a doubt.
Him and my grandfather were close my grandfather was from Littlefield they grew up together and picked cotton together my grandfather even attended his funeral
They kept in touch for most of his life my until waylon died
Every now and then when he would be in Georgia waylon would stop in and see him
I have one memory of that and and his wife Jessie
She was a very pretty woman and very nice
Waylon was honestly kinda intimidating but I was only 4
I remember he wore a big trench coat and smoked allot
And drank allot of coffee
They laughed and laughed on that couch that was the last time they ever talked in person waylon died a year after
He's absolutely right about the producers
Your missed
My friend
God bless
You😊
This was very cool . Thanks for the post !
Great interview.
