Dang he knew how to captive a audience... He was and still is a legend. No one can replicate him. They try tho... But they can't, because he didn't copy anyone. And he carried a big burden. Most of the songs weren't about women. It was deeper. He had a way of writing about things, so beautiful
This is exactly why Waylon will always be the best country music ever had. He could go from his big upbeat numbers and really rock it out and then go to this. It all came from the heart and the music meant everything. Thank goodness country music will always have Waylon, cos we sure as hell ain't got a whole lot out there right now. Gone, but never forgotten. RIP Waylon
Is this the greatest perfect country singer and perfect country song there ever was? Yes,...especially when I've had the perfect number of beers. Waylon, RIP. Thanks for posting this wonderful live performance.
It literally makes me sick that radio turned it's back on people like Waylon. A whole generation wasn't exposed to Waylon in the same way that we were because radio threw him in the garbage. In the early 90's Garth Brooks and the young generation came in and bumped Waylon off to the side... I don't know about you but I'd rather hear Waylon than Garth Brooks. Waylon was still releasing great recordings all through the 90's and radio didn't play a damn one of em'. Very sad and a crying shame!
@@ramhagramhag5481 YEP! Hag was releasing great recordings up until just a few years ago- and was radio playing them? NOPE. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I've only seen Waylon once -- way way back when I saw his name on a marquee at the River Bottom in Tempe, Arizona... must have been 1965 or 66 or so. My husband and I were underage (less than 21) and university students, but since we were married, we were allowed into clubs with live entertainment that served alcohol; we drank soft drinks but were stunned by Waylon, he sat on a stool in a corner and playing an acoustic guitar -- no band. His voice was SO good. AMAZING.
If I could live my life over, I’d replay my youth and see more live shows. I’ve seen the following when they were “new” talent, all in Phoenix or Flagstaff, AZ : Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Johnny Rivers, Waylon, somebody and the Pips and no one had heard of the woman but she became known.
I first heard Waylon singing at J D's in Scottsdale, Ariz. in the early 1960's. My husband and I went there dancing. He was then, and was up until he died , the very best voice out there in country music because he didn't have that corny twang like so many had. He had a deep resonant melodious voice that was so distinct. He could sing different types of music, not just country. What a treasure he was to listen to! For instance, the song " Wild Ones" and " Endangered Species." They had that rock country sound. He was and still is, my favorite country singer. There are none that can come close to him. Don Williams came close, but was not as good as Waylon. !!!!!!
I saw Waylon at Gallup Cathedral high School gym about 1969 I was 13 yrs old. It was freezing cold. In total I went to his show and concerts 7 times, the last in September 2001. My Pic was taken standing up front where Waylon was sitting on a chair. I don't usually listen to other CW singer's I listen to a lot of WAYLON JENNINGS. RIP. I'm 68 now and still listening to Waylon.
This was Waylon at his serious side, he liked to joke and cut up I think this song and Belle of the ball was Waylon's favorite, I got to see Waylon in Hazard Kentucky way back in 1984 he did a concert at the football field and it was completely sold out it was so crowded there people were shoulder to shoulder. When the city officials from Hazard contacted Waylon about coming there he told them that the only way that he would do a concert there was if they paid him cash and that's exactly what they did, my ticket was $12 and there had to be 1500 to 2000 people there maybe more, when Waylon's bus pulled up and parked his band got first Waylon was the last to get off he went straight to the stage got his Waylon fender stratocaster strapped it around his neck and started jamming the first song he did was I've always been crazy and the crowd was going absolutely wild, he did about 10 to 12 song's and left the stage went straight to his bus were a man in a fancy suit handed him a bank bag he took the bag and got on his bus and they pulled away, his show was the best I had ever seen, I was 22 at the time and that was definitely a highlight in my young life, I kept that ticket stub for years but somewhere along my moving from place to place it got lost, Waylon was one of a kind and he did exactly what he was born to do and he was the very best at it, a true legend in country music and his songs and music will live forever. Keith Urban now has that famous Waylon fender stratocaster but the sound from it is nothing like when Waylon played it, I sure miss Waylon 🎸
You are so right. There is no one like Waylon and never will be again; He was just the best. It is disgusting the way they treat all these great country singers and they are all leaving us now. We will miss them so much, not very many left except for the flakes that could never fill their boots/shoes.
THE BESTEST SONG EVEREST SUNG BY THE BESTEST OUTLAW,,RIP YOU DESERVE IT,,,BROTHER..YOU LEFT A VOID THAT MOST YOUNG ONES CAN ONLY DREAM OF,,NOT FANCY LIGHTS, PLASTIC SUITS ON STAGE,,JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED HOME GROWN TALENT,,,AND VOICE THAT MAKES THE TOUGHTEST COWBOYS CRY..
Youza wouza. That is the best recording of that song I have EVER heard. What a song and what a voice. Ol Waylon has shoes that will never be filled. Thanks for posting!
This live version is even better than the studio one! Ralph Mooney ' steel guitar is so haunting and adds a better sound than the strings. Ralph needs to be in the country music hall of fame ASAP!
My sentiments exactly! There is no one today...that even comes close to his talent, voice, song writing, and emotions. Don't think we realized at the time...just how really great he was! I miss him too!
The original singer of the original version. Everybody else just fell in line. They all did beautiful takes and maybe hit the notes more beautifully, but Waylon didn't need strings or a american idol voice, cause he sang it with just what anybody needs and what music today is missing, the essence of the soul.
R.I.P. Mom (April 3, 1939 - May 30, 2020). This song i dedicate to you. Dad, my wife, your sons, your daughter, your grandchildren, your sister and your brothers all miss you.
I always have to listen to this late in an evening after my wife and two pugs hit the hay. I used to play this song when she was around, and one night she said “I know I shouldn’t ask but who was she?” I said, “I just like this song and there is no “she”; you’re my girl”, but I don’t think you can play this song around your lover. They can’t believe you aren’t thinking of someone from your past. What a great song performed by a really cool guy. I miss Waylon, come to think of it, maybe I’m dreaming my dreams of his music.
Having known Waylon personally it was a real pleasure when he chose one of my pictures for his "Dreaming My Dreams" album cover. This album was also his favorite that he recorded. Waylon was the real deal and is the greatest singer of all time.
Back, mid-eighties, when Willie was nearing Saint Willie status; I’m sitting with my dad and my father-in-law both over 70 and both war veterans. I say “Willie or Waylon” if you could see one or the other? Both at same time …Waylon!…and they both like Willie and so do I. Waylon is, was, and always will be exceptional.
Greatest singer of sad country songs i have ever heard. Loved him for over forty years. Never gi to see him live but ive over30 albums. Love the whole outlaw music
I come to back to this song whenever I need to heal from a broken heart. It helps me to remain receptive and forgiving. The lyrics and the way Waylon sings it with such gentleness is heartbreaking. Miss you, Waylon.
Patrick McCarthy we've all had one that we miss. Maybe it's best that our life took a different course. I'm happy where I am today and with the lady who is my wife.
Interesting - it's as quiet in the background as a studio recording - not a sound from the audience. What a great entertainer - he held the audience in the palm of his hand.
Waylon is the best sober or not. I have a few and get stuck on 1 or 2 songs then the next day sober as a judge they are as good or better. He is the best period. I have known this since I was about 8 years old. I am now 44. Outside of the Eagles or the Rolling Stones I don't even bother to look.
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore, And maybe I've learned this time. I hope that I find what I'm reaching for, The way that it is in my mind. Someday I'll get over you. I'll live to see it all through. But I'll always miss, Dreaming my dreams with you. But I won't let it change me, Not if I can. I'd rather believe in love. And give it away as much as I can, To those that I'm fondest of. Someday I'll get over you. I'll live to see it all through. But I'll always miss, Dreaming my dreams with you. Beautiful song
@sweetdixieguitar Your right, country music has lost its way, no more songwriters like Kris, Mickey Newbury, Johnny, Waylon, Willy. I could go on forever but i think you know what i mean. Oliver
I lost my husband 5 yrs ago this May 28,2017 from cancer, in exactly 1 week he died. Too fast...too sudden ,now this song has more meaning to me. but i have always listened to this video since it came on you tube and like you Althea i could listen to this 24-7. Waylon sings it so beartifully and Mooney just backs him up just right. Awesome
Hoping all our dreams will be happy! Waylon has Got It. Sadly gone tooooooo early. You've helped make it through the rough times and "help (ed) me through the night)s
The songwriter said when he played this song for him, Waylon said ‘reminds of my brother’ and I have always wondered if it was Tommy or Buddy. He also said several times in concert that it was his favorite song. He thought of Buddy Holly as a brother.
My first time to hear this song sung by Waylon. Im in a trance!I never felt like this before about any song. such feeling! He looks such a rough ordinary bloke! Love his songs.
Sehnsucht,Erinnerung,Liebe ,Jugend,Schmerz ,Dankbarkeit,warum vergeht die Zeit ❤
...einfach nur phantastisch! @christinestube2651: ...du triffst es genau!
Dang he knew how to captive a audience... He was and still is a legend. No one can replicate him. They try tho... But they can't, because he didn't copy anyone. And he carried a big burden. Most of the songs weren't about women. It was deeper. He had a way of writing about things, so beautiful
Waylon's music never gets old. He's been gone 22 years and his music is loved just as much if not more than it was before he died.
This is just glorious. Waylon’s rich voice is sensational. WJ in something beyond comparison.
YES
I was at this show, just a few rows from the front. When Waylon started to sing this, I was moved to tears. My favourite of Waylon's songs.
This is exactly why Waylon will always be the best country music ever had. He could go from his big upbeat numbers and really rock it out and then go to this. It all came from the heart and the music meant everything. Thank goodness country music will always have Waylon, cos we sure as hell ain't got a whole lot out there right now.
Gone, but never forgotten.

Have you heard his grandson, Whey Jennings?? If not please check out his music… plus he is carrying on his grandpas (Waylon Jennings) legend!!!
It was called JD’s
You witnessed history, when Giants Walked the Earth.
ild pay 1thousand to see him live

What this world needs is another Waylon...Impossible to fill his shoes. Such a beautiful country song.

One of the best country songs ever, sung by a great singer.
They dont sing songs or have singers like this anymore. RIP Hoss
Just Wonderful ! Waylon was one of the greatest country singer ! I miss him !
I had tears running down my face when I first saw this. This was one of Waylon's favourite songs and it sure tells, he sings it with such feeling.
This man has got to have the best voice I ever heard
I could easily listen to this song 24 x 7. One of the most beautiful songs written.
ME TO ALTHEA
I listen to this beautiful song all day too ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Barb love this song miss someone every time i hear it.
Fucking yes
This was Waylon at his serious side, he liked to joke and cut up I think this song and Belle of the ball was Waylon's favorite, I got to see Waylon in Hazard Kentucky way back in 1984 he did a concert at the football field and it was completely sold out it was so crowded there people were shoulder to shoulder.

Keith Urban now has that famous Waylon fender stratocaster but the sound from it is nothing like when Waylon played it, I sure miss Waylon 🎸
Don't we all still miss him!
Is it possible to fall in love with a man whose been gone for a few years now? I'd say yes...
I say yesss......
june kaiser. You are not the only one. Besides Waylon, I have fallen for Bobby Hatfield (Righteous Bros); Benjamin Orr (the Cars).
Absolutely!
The man is dreamy and his voice is hypnotic. So talented.
@@lanebashford3982 He really had it all🎶
Hanx for posting this reminder of three failed marriages. Beautiful and haunting. RIP Waylon!
You are so right. There is no one like Waylon and never will be again; He was just the best. It is disgusting the way they treat all these great country singers and they are all leaving us now. We will miss them so much, not very many left except for the flakes that could never fill their boots/shoes.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU YOU WAYLON JENNINGS!!
YOU TRULY HAVE MY HEART...😔😘💞💞💞💞🙏💞💞💞💞
THE BESTEST SONG EVEREST SUNG BY THE BESTEST OUTLAW,,RIP YOU DESERVE IT,,,BROTHER..YOU LEFT A VOID THAT MOST YOUNG ONES CAN ONLY DREAM OF,,NOT FANCY LIGHTS, PLASTIC SUITS ON STAGE,,JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED HOME GROWN TALENT,,,AND VOICE THAT MAKES THE TOUGHTEST COWBOYS CRY..
Youza wouza. That is the best recording of that song I have EVER heard. What a song and what a voice. Ol Waylon has shoes that will never be filled. Thanks for posting!
This live version is even better than the studio one! Ralph Mooney ' steel guitar is so haunting and adds a better sound than the strings. Ralph needs to be in the country music hall of fame ASAP!
Live often is. Many performers bring more soul to souls than consoles.
Ralph is the Steel virtuoso . I concur.
My favorite post break- up song. Keeps me strong and open to love despite heartbreak. Thank you, Waylon, for this beautiful song.
I have spent many a pleasant hour driving, walking, or working out to Johnny, George, and Waylon. They are just like short visits from old friends.
My sentiments exactly! There is no one today...that even comes close to his talent, voice, song writing, and emotions.
Don't think we realized at the time...just how really great he was! I miss him too!
Was there ever a greater singer in this world ? I don’t think so !!! RIP Ol Waylon !!!
One of the most beautiful song of all times !!!!!!! So moving !! 💙

They all did beautiful takes and maybe hit the notes more beautifully, but Waylon didn't need strings or a american idol voice, cause he sang it with just what anybody needs and what music today is missing, the essence of the soul.
I had a go at it, just me and no Hollywood, just Christmas, hope I did it the tiniest bit of justice. John )
Waylon does it best, but Patty Loveless does a great job on it.
Bill Williams , how about Jack Clements? Pretty darn good!
Karl Blau is excellent too
He didn't write this song
R.I.P. Mom (April 3, 1939 - May 30, 2020). This song i dedicate to you. Dad, my wife, your sons, your daughter, your grandchildren, your sister and your brothers all miss you.
I loved Waylon and this must be one of his best. His rich deep voice sends shivers up my spine!
R.I.P. Waylon, we all miss you, but your songs keep us hangin in there.
I always have to listen to this late in an evening after my wife and two pugs hit the hay. I used to play this song when she was around, and one night she said “I know I shouldn’t ask but who was she?” I said, “I just like this song and there is no “she”; you’re my girl”, but I don’t think you can play this song around your lover.

Waylon is the best!

"I think I found what I was reaching for the way that it is in my mind" It's this song.Pure excellance.
You will never see anything as good as this, fantastic. 👍❤👍❤👍👍❤.
His voice has always given me chills - none better

What a legend.
He really makes you feel the song.
Gone but never forgotten.
Thank you God for Waylon and his music.
I wonder if Waylon knew how much his fans really loved him, and still do.
he seemed so humble, i kinda doubt it, but good .. great question !!! he almost seems somewhat shy on stage at different times. idk anyone???
Sweet Jesus,, this song brings me to tears. Waylon sends me back into my deepest memories of my high school sweetheart, I miss her so much.
Patrick McCarthy we've all had one that we miss. Maybe it's best that our life took a different course. I'm happy where I am today and with the lady who is my wife.
me too
I agree it dont get any better than Waylon.
Sung with so much feeling ! I adore Waylon singing this song , he has such a lovely voice. ❤️❤️❤️
Love them Outlaws........Waylon,Willie,Kristofferson,,,,,,,,Cash.....:)
One of the simplest and most beautiful songs ever written... and performed by a musical genius...
MY favourite of all Waylons songs.....miss you Waylon, hope you got it all while you were here........you´ll be missed by many many people, RIP HOSS
What a beautiful song sung by a beautiful man.
Interesting - it's as quiet in the background as a studio recording - not a sound from the audience. What a great entertainer - he held the audience in the palm of his hand.
when i think of country music this is who i think of first.the true king of country.
By far my favorite Waylon song.. Thanks for the video.. I watch it often.
Absolutely my favorite Waylon song.
I will never get over Waylon……...
A really wonderful song, one oft the best all oder the world. I will never get over.....
Waylon is the best country singer EVER!!!! 🩷💖💖💖💖💖 awesome song.
Can't watch anything better than that. Very unique
Awesome song and awesome talented man, love Waylon & may you R.I.P. ❤
Thank you for posting this video. Waylon doesn't make a bad take...just listen to the softness ...so deeply moving.
@Alexandar Wright, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID!! Very powerful video and I also think Waylon sang that from his ❤!! Thanks, BamaGirl
Waylon *$&#* Jennings.
The only singer I've heard my entire life that never strayed off key.
Not even once.
This song is so beautiful. He had soul. RIP brother
Waylon is the best sober or not. I have a few and get stuck on 1 or 2 songs then the next day sober as a judge they are as good or better. He is the best period. I have known this since I was about 8 years old. I am now 44. Outside of the Eagles or the Rolling Stones I don't even bother to look.
Waylon is the GOAT
What a man.
That steel guitar is haunting......wow.
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore,
And maybe I've learned this time.
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for,
The way that it is in my mind.
Someday I'll get over you.
I'll live to see it all through.
But I'll always miss,
Dreaming my dreams with you.
But I won't let it change me,
Not if I can.
I'd rather believe in love.
And give it away as much as I can,
To those that I'm fondest of.
Someday I'll get over you.
I'll live to see it all through.
But I'll always miss,
Dreaming my dreams with you.
Beautiful song
@sweetdixieguitar Your right, country music has lost its way, no more songwriters like Kris, Mickey Newbury, Johnny, Waylon, Willy. I could go on forever but i think you know what i mean. Oliver
I would like to say this is my favourite, but everything Waylon did is my favourite, thank you for this
Waylons Favorite song... Mine too!
This is one of the most beautiful songs and melodies ever written!
Waylon is great he can sing and make u listen .. .....

Hoping all our dreams will be happy! Waylon has Got It. Sadly gone tooooooo early. You've helped make it through the rough times and "help (ed) me through the night)s
I'm watching this for about the 100th time.
This my friends, is music with SOUL.
Most beautiful song ever.......miss my husband terribly........ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the most beautiful real songs ever.
The songwriter said when he played this song for him, Waylon said ‘reminds of my brother’ and I have always wondered if it was Tommy or Buddy. He also said several times in concert that it was his favorite song. He thought of Buddy Holly as a brother.
My first time to hear this song sung by Waylon. Im in a trance!I never felt like this before about any song. such feeling! He looks such a rough ordinary bloke! Love his songs.
His sweetest love song. Wish he. Had more like it
I still get tears in my eyes at each time I lsyen this song...:(
me too.
Me too
So BEAUTIFUL....Love you Waylon❤🌹🌿
He looks very good here another song just beautiful
