The way that Johnny Cash looks at his friend Willie Nelson with so much admiration and love honestly chokes me up every time I see it. Miss him terribly.
I have been trying to stop a tear for ten minutes...., reading 'your' comment means I no longer have to...., 'the tear' has been joined by a few friends and is already rolling down my cheek!!!
I am almost certain this is one of the best vocal performances ever! So musical in typical willie nelson fashion. Just gives you goosebumps with how incredible this song is written and performed
When you've got those three guys just standing around and listening because they can't think of anything to add that would make it any better...you're doing something right.
My 96 year old mother chose this as her funeral entrance song. Made sense to me, she had four children. and she was never overly affecionate. Love her miss her.
Man what a soft, gentle, yet strong voice. I'm so glad to have been born before the corporations corrupted everything. This man sings of life, and not the pursuit of material things.
My dad used to sing this to my mother when I was growing up. Lost him in 1999, and her in June of this year. This brings back great memories, but man I miss them.
one of the few songs my late wife didn't roll her eyes when I sang.She felt the meaning I meant specially for her.This and Never tear Us apart.Miss you Veronica,still always on my mind.
Ill second that and I was born in1989....feel ripped off growing up in a generation of mass produced pretend artists. These guys are the real deal!!! This song gets me every time! Goosebumps and tears! RIP Johnny and Waylon! Xxx
"This tune always makes me cry and makes me blue. The sound of His guitar melts my heart down to the ground. With a warm and lonely voice that gives hope, then the lyrics ripe it from your throat and that bring you back to the empty well of Tears. That fall on distant family ears. Leaving you with Sunday fears We all keep on listening after all these years. Some of the best Jazz country music I've heard in all my years. " KEH 10.06.19
As we all know, Elvis made this song popular but, Willie nailed it.....his studio version is absolutely incredible. And then live. What an amazing artist. And being the writer of, "Crazy" sung by Patsy Cline. Timeless....
Willie Nelson's "Always on my Mind" is a lyrical masterpiece that paints a vivid picture of heartache and longing, with bittersweet melodies that tug at the heartstrings and poignant lyrics that cut like a knife.
Love the way the 3 of them stood back and listened to Willie sing, then applauded when he had finished. Respect with a capital R. Great singers and musicians. That song is so very special to so many people, including me, I love it when Willie sings it.
I don’t think I’ve seen any comments about the rest of the band! Completely wonderful!! And as I,am a retired sound engineer, I must say the mix of the singing mices and all instruments, is absolutely perfect!!! Today two of the heroes are still alive. I hope they stay that way for many years!!!!!
Yes indeed. I find myself meticulously watching members of the band throughout each song...absolutely magnificent...whoever choreographed the band mix is pure genius. They are as important, if not more so, to the success of this concert...they made each of the guys sound their best. You have to listen and watch carefully, each band member has a special part if you can catch it !!!
My late husband loved Willie Nelson. We liked to tease each other, and when a Willie song would play, I would tell my husband that "Willie can't sing". Then we would get in a huge discussion (not argument) over Willie's voice, or lack of. My husband died unexpectedly in 1984. We were both 37. Since his death, I play Willie's songs & by gosh, he can sing. This song is extra special to me, because when Willie sings it I think of the past 38 years and "what should have been". I wish I had told him more often that I loved him, and how much he meant to me. I know I will see him again soon, and I cherish that thought.
We've all had that 1st true love ...mine got away and even today this song tells it all ... it's been 30 yrs and she's still on my mind ... Annie you stolled my heart .
This guy is so true in doing this, and his guitar so living When i was younger listening to fancy metall and rock bands - now i'm crushed by this "simply" track
Willie your a Texan and Country legend I’m from Texas and I’m honoured that I was born were a Country Star was born. Hope I can see you one day soon either on Earth or in Heaven. God bless you Willie Nelson.
Brenda Lee was the first to record this Wayne Carson Thompson classic but she never released it as a single. Elvis did it later but no one did as well as Willie.
"Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee and first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972.
this song chokes me up every time i hear it. the meaningfulness of nelson’s voice combined with the sound of trigger makes me cry, and i don’t even know why. it’s that good type of crying. the type where you enjoy the cry you have. the solo with him and trigger before the last verse of usually where i crack. this is one of the songs where after i listen to it, i sit back, close my tabs, and think to myself: “how lucky are we? what the f*ck did i just watch.” thank you, willie nelson. thank you, waylon jennings. thank you, johnny cash. thank you, kris kristofferson. thank you, highwaymen. 🖤🤍🖤🤍
This song "Always on my Mind" is written for Willie to sing to entertain us all. More legendary artists can cover it too to their best n highest level of entertainment, but none carries the degree of kharisma n magical love as the one sung by Willie Nelson.
The world is slowly running out of the best artists ever.
well, willie nelson has yet to leave us, so we still have quite the amazing artist with us today.
I agree
this shit today is just that, shit
Absolutely, best regards from Germany
@@tomgray7049 Jason Isbell, Sarah Jarosz, Gillian Welch, Mulehead, you're welcome
The simpler the better, 1 instrument, 1 singer, a nice story or poem and nicely arranged notes. And very little production
The piano playing on this video is beautiful and of course Willie never disappoints.
The way that Johnny Cash looks at his friend Willie Nelson with so much admiration and love honestly chokes me up every time I see it. Miss him terribly.
I have been trying to stop a tear for ten minutes...., reading 'your' comment means I no longer have to...., 'the tear' has been joined by a few friends and is already rolling down my cheek!!!
That big proud grin at the end is priceless.
I totally agree
This song is on repeat the best cover I’ve heard so much effort has gone into this Willie is the living 👑 no wonder he won awards for this ❤️
The best and noticeable comment in the world 🌎 sings it so much better it’s perfect it’s on repeat
To my dear husband who is now home with Lord. This is to you I miss you terribly I love you dearly.
He loves you too

If god made better songs and singers he kept them for himself
Pure.luck I saw them live in Australia
Respect
Pure respect 👏🏻👏🏻
Also notice the other 3 all clapping for him. Just shows how respectful they are of each other.
Who doesn't love this old rebel?
He is the ONLY HIGHWAYMAN left with us , PKEASE STAY ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍😻🙏
With this ballad I said goodbye to my husband, who died far too young. 3 months ago he surprisingly left me alone in this world. RIP Freddy! ❤️🖤

So sorry to hear of your loss. Stay strong i know its tough.
Sorry for your loss.
The way Johnny cash looking at him...
Astounding
With his very soulful eyes 👀😍🥰
This man has the most compelling voice. When he sings songs like this, it renders them so true.
You should hear Willie's son, he's amazing! Just like his dad.
"Thousands of colours of this song and nobody can sing it like this, not even Elvis"
Elvis did it just as good, or better...

Best cover is from Elvis
Willie"s voice is timeless! Completely beautiful song.
No big egos here. Four fantastic singers.
And fantastic guitarists
Not all 4 can sing well, but can perform good!

Man what a soft, gentle, yet strong voice. I'm so glad to have been born before the corporations corrupted everything. This man sings of life, and not the pursuit of material things.
This man is willie nelson !!!
@@Mysterious13138 Yeah buddy!
many many people do. corporations have ruined nothing, only the way u see things.
This is when we were still in charge of our life. Very sad we do not have our country anymore.
He kills it, especially the last line! Waylon & Johnny loved it.
This man spoke a story that speak regret, sorrow, and lost in one song. Love you Willie

No one does that song like Willie Nelson. Even when parts of it are almost spoken, it's just somehow better.
He still has that pizzazz keep on going my friend
just like the Irish accent
So true. His account is quite unsurpassable

Well said man. It’s a beautiful version and Willie is one of a kind. Elvis’ cover holds a special place in my heart too.

This song is really good when sung by someone with experience in life
No one does it like Willie
So much respect for the genuine down to earth goodness (and phenomenal voice) of this man.
And once again thank you Mr Nelson for the goose bumps and your emotions God protect you
so refreshing to see real stars that don't put their country down.
True , Proud , Happy to be AMERICANS
