You know my Dad introduced me to this song. I thought it was cool. But now that I think about it he liked the old rockers , living his way, and listening to the tunes. I guess Buck was an old Hippie too and not a day since 2003 goes by I don’t miss him!
You know this song as an awesome song but I have to say I came here for redneck girl because he had the Kahuna's to say first comes love then comes marriage since I'm a Christian! thank you guys so much and everyone in the world have a great evening in Jesus name Amen! 🙏💖🎉 now ill go download the original version to my phone if I can find it lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think it was David who wrote Spiders and Snakes with Jim Stafford and Howard became his road manager. These men.became famous the old fashioned way They earned it. They'd shop at my dad's gun shop n Dade City when they were in town but they play like 200 nights a year. They're just awesome.imo An Old Hippie
You are soo right, there music accompanied my whole life (and I am from Europe) they are so good. We had peace, when I immigrated to the US in 1982 the World was so cool. Now, politics, politics, politics and to round it up a pandemic.
This great song applies too all soldier's! Even the former South African Defense Force soldier's who fought in Angola relate. My Dad (RIP) loved this song. We soldier's all serve with Pride, Honour and Respect!! Salute and you don't know a true Brotherhood until you have served!
The line in the song...."this world may change around him but he just can't change no more " strikes such a strong chord with me. I'm only 45 yrs old and never knew the Vietnam Era. I feel like a hippie in today's world. The daily changes in political correctness, technology and everything else makes my head spin. It's exhausting to keep up. I'm tired of walking on egg shells in today's America. I've chosen to just be outdated, uncool and too simple. It's less stress in my life. Thank you guys for making music that hits home to millions of people just like myself!
hello from Arizona, this song is my life in a gracious moment. It still brings tears to my eyes. GOD BLESS AMERICA! and WELCOME HOME to ALL my VIETNAM VETERANS.
Dear Bellamy Brothers - I wanted to say thanks to a fantastic song! I remember you with your superior songs at the German Discos in the 1980´s, this was a great time, may God always bless you! Greetings out of Bavaria, Germany.
Einsame Spitze. 😊 Ich liebe Country Musik. 😒Ich habe Angst vor dem Tag, an dem die ganzen tollen aber auch alten Stars nicht mehr sind. 😒Was oder Wer kommt nach??
I saw them in the early 80’s in a small bar when I was in my early 20’s. I’m going to see them in a few weeks at a very small venue. Will probably be surreal. I’ve always thought a lot about seeing them and my early love for country music.
In 2018, I am 66. This song applied to all of us vets. Makes me happy and real sad, where did the years go? At 45 rear ended by a school bus freeway speed herniating 10 discs. Diagnosed with MS 2011. Damn it was great to be young even being trained to be a killer in the Army. Travel in greens and get spit on and called baby killer. Now its changed and wearing my Vietnam hat people thank me for my service. Lost many friends on the wall! I cried like a baby looking at the wall! Not long left now.
The Bellamy Brother’s - the BEST country band ever! I loved them when they first became famous in 1976 and I love them even more now. I have seen them in concert twice, but this live version of Old Hippie is the greatest I have ever heard! I love every song they sing!! Their voices are still fabulous! Hope I get to see them again.
This song came out in 1985 but it seems like it was just yesterday. So when he sang "He turned 35 last Sunday", it threw me for a loop. I had to do the math to make sure: (Born in 1950 to '85=35) Yea, 35 y.o. My gosh, people who were 35 when this came out are now 74, 75 y.o. I was 17 when this came out (but I've always identified more with 60s and 70s music), now I'm 56 and 35 is nowhere near old to me. Time sure does fly. Now I'M the "Old Hippie". Lol. But I'm a lot older than 35.
When I was growing up in early 70’s I knew a lot of old hippies who came back from Vietnam some not so well and here we are almost 50 years later now I’m an old hippie✌🏽😮💨
I remember when this came out....the Bellamy Brothers got an underground drug reference on country radio...."Like the smoke from that torpedo, just up and fade away.."
I'm 78 and this song brings a tear. You youngsters have no idea what life was like in the 60s.
I do it was passed through my blood notes.
Not too far behind you. I just hit 70.
I'm glad I don't. Life is hard enough without the draft and with modern conveniences
I’m now 75 now and know what you’re saying!
Amen bro im 77 and this song, brings back memories
I got to see them back in the 70’s at the Philadelphia Folk Festival when Bob Gibson played with them. Fantastic. RIP to Paula Ballan and to Bob.
Arguably, the most underrated act in the history of Country Music.
Absolutely!
There are a lot more of us "Old Hippies" still left then people realize. We are the children of the 50's.
This sums up how I feel in 2024. Old soul lost in this dismal world we now live in
You know my Dad introduced me to this song. I thought it was cool. But now that I think about it he liked the old rockers , living his way, and listening to the tunes. I guess Buck was an old Hippie too and not a day since 2003 goes by I don’t miss him!
My old man did the same for me

Feel good music! New musicians, listen up. This is how it’s done.
One of the most underrated acts in the history of Country Music.
I love this song. It only so true no matter who you are we are all headed there.
For those who know, this tune brings a tear...

An Old Hippie
Beautiful music! Where have those moments gone, those people who had love and joy in their hearts and were able to share them.
You are soo right, there music accompanied my whole life (and I am from Europe) they are so good. We had peace, when I immigrated to the US in 1982 the World was so cool. Now, politics, politics, politics and to round it up a pandemic.

Yup....from an old disabled Army vet.
I’m now 72 and I constantly listen to version 3 (saved). Have listened to this song for years.
I went to Vietnam on my senior trip and the only woodstick I remember was on an M14.
Got that on my bumper 67-68, blessing.

My generation!☮🤘
I wish i was there to see this live
Wishing Howard Bellamy a happy 70th Birthday today. Born Feb 2 1946. :)
Back when that was some great music
Drug use aside probably the best band of all time! Don't think they sang a bad song!
Drugs ? Say it isn't so. I would be devastated with that knowledge. Please.
Saw them at old threshers reunion last yr... They put on a great show....
That's the best harmonica, I swear.
Wow love
You all
Excellent ones❤❤
The Song reminds me of my Son Jack he is still a old Hippie, we love all old Hippies still. !!!
Great song I'm a old Hippie I'll never change my ways those's were the good old days.
That was quite great. Well done.
Beautiful music my fans
GREAT time, with its story! The harmonica player and the fellow in the blue shirt add to the rhythm and improve the show!
I grew up just up the road from them, rode their mom's school bus.
They are a treasure, and still going strong today.
I was there for this I have 100s of pictures from Jamboree in the Hills
I saw them just this past summer. They were awesome!!!
The footage after is Priceless!
Very good music, i love USA
I baled hay in that field in the seventies. Class 77 Union Local HS
Them fellows was young back then Mee too 70 and enjoying life to
Lucky to see them in Lincoln NE when my husbands boss had the play at the company party! OPA!
Right on right on I will always be keepin it real man
Great song. Always like this song.
This is timeless
good old country they can't seem to make country like this anymore
The Bellamy Brother’s - the BEST country band ever! I loved them when they first became famous in 1976 and I love them even more now. I have seen them in concert twice, but this live version of Old Hippie is the greatest I have ever heard! I love every song they sing!! Their voices are still fabulous! Hope I get to see them again.
This is what I call country music. 👍🏻👍🏻
greatest band of all time!!
You obviously haven’t listened to that much music. A solid band, yes. An entertaining act, yes. But greatest band of all time. Please.
This song is my anthem thats me
The Bellamy brothers are my second cousins! I hope ya'll enjoy as I do!
Bellamy Brothers road is not far from where I live.
@@if6was929ciao amico!🙋😍😘💘🍀
Einfach coole Musik mit viel Herz und Gefühle und Leidenschaft einfach spitze klasse geile Musik LG 🙂😎😘
Reminds me of some of MY best friends,,especially myself.
Back when singers performed live and sounded decent. The Simon and Garfunkel of country/Americana music
This song came out in 1985 but it seems like it was just yesterday. So when he sang "He turned 35 last Sunday", it threw me for a loop. I had to do the math to make sure: (Born in 1950 to '85=35) Yea, 35 y.o. My gosh, people who were 35 when this came out are now 74, 75 y.o. I was 17 when this came out (but I've always identified more with 60s and 70s music), now I'm 56 and 35 is nowhere near old to me. Time sure does fly.
Now I'M the "Old Hippie". Lol. But I'm a lot older than 35.
What country duo can even approach these guy's talent? Maybe Brooks and Dunn, but that's IT!
Yep, Brooks and Dunn. The list ends there.
Jamboree in the Hills! i was there! This was just before the big thunderstorm!
One of my all time favorites. Why the hell aren't there more comments about this kickass song?
Love this song!
Wonderful hippie song & mud skating!
I LOVE THIS SONG!
I am and old hippie at 54 years old this song takes me back to the late 1979 they all right
Bellissima canzone! Amo questo fantastico gruppo! 😊😍🤩😊😍😘😘🎶🎸🎸🎸🎶💘❤️💋💯💯💯🌅
AWESOME!!!
"If you think real hard.....
maybe we can stop this rain". Lol
-from Woodstock

Amen Great music.

Bellissima canzone! Grande poi erformance! 😊😍😘🎶🎸🎸🎶💘❤️💋💯🍀🌄
The guy in blue is the great Billy Crain - listen to his work on the Bellamys Hit "Forget About Me"
we are this. makes me happy and sad. then happy
“They forced him to become a man while he was still a boy “
My gawd what a profound statement about war 😢😢
Love this!
I'm one too
When I was growing up in early 70’s I knew a lot of old hippies who came back from Vietnam some not so well and here we are almost 50 years later now I’m an old hippie✌🏽😮💨
God bless. I have busted cattle since 13Yrs old. 1983. Now I sweat to hoold it all together. Git sum. Pride says to keep on keeping on.
Great song. I heard it today in my picking group and had to look it up.
Looks like a lot of fun at the end, too. Thanks for posting
I remember when this came out....the Bellamy Brothers got an underground drug reference on country radio...."Like the smoke from that torpedo, just up and fade away.."
I always thought it was referring to the Gulf of Tonkin incident that started Vietnam..
Love this more classic country.
guess i am too late :( i would give a whole lot to see them but from germany its not easy but I love every song
