Watching in 2020. I am knee deep in nostalgia and loving every minute of this show. Such talent.......Some gone on to be with God. Every time one of the stars appear on stage my mind drifts back to a beautiful time.

[@isaiahbird2486]

All these legends in one building what a privilege it would have been to see these legends of country music, never going to be the same talent again

[@marycornett3165]

I wish country music was this good now of days

[@terryporche8745]

When country music was country, not the crap they call country music today.

[@cheyennenadeau6605]

Watching in 2021.... Wasn't born til 2 yrs later but this music I fell in love with and prefer to any genre today ... #greatestcountrymusic

[@ThomasAllen-b8s]

The JUDDS are beyond words of comprehension!!!

[@ThomasAllen-b8s]

They are superb!

[@LinkRocks]

Randy Travis was HUGE during this time. I remember having a hard time finding his records because they would sell out so fast.

[@loriepostlewaite162]

So many greats here that have passed on ❤ real country music 🎻🪕🎼

[@marthaashley2211]

Watching this in 2024. Great country music love it and the memories thank u 4 posting ❤

[@marthaashley2211]

Yes me too watching 2023 great memories

[@mytoytoo]

Love the old award shows, great music & memories

[@ronclifford3336]

It was great to see Hank Jr. finally walk out with the big one after all those years. It was long overdue.

[@HummingbirdJessi]

Oh, I don't know about that... I've only ever walked out of two concerts, out of A LOT that I've been to; his was the first. He couldn't remember the words, and when he did he just slurred them. It was sad, because both I and my ex-husband were really excited about going. The second concert I left, was more than a decade later, with my then-8-year-old daughter who was so excited to see her favorite country music artist, Blake Shelton (whom she lost complete respect for that night). I had flashbacks to Hank Jr. I am so glad that the Possum sobered up all those years ago...

[@aguercioni33]

I was at this show, in the balcony, great memories great day

[@annem8152]

back when music was still good.

[@amandathurman433]

[@williamedwards9286]

Good old Randy Travis. Hope his addiction issues are better. Hell of a vocalist!

[@SweetHeartHolly1982]

Thank you SO much for getting this up here, my most favorite part is the 22:56 mark of the clip, I love my late beautiful precious Steve Sanders of the Oak Ridge Boys SO much!!! (forever wishing that I had discovered him sooner) God bless you and those who love him always!!! Holly in East Tennessee

[@sarahd3980]

[@suewalsh1883]

[@Lilliecwalinski16]

AHH, IT’S THEM AGAIN!!! I should been prepared for them. I can’t get enough of Randy Owen’s inner little kid CUTENESS!!!❤️❤️❤️ No one does cuteness better then Randy Owen. He’s the Country Care’s For St. Jude kids man.

[@stephaniesurmanfalls6532]

These award shows were the BEST of television AND music. You won't get that UNBELIEVABLE amount of talent again at one time. How sad it is when you think back to when we were watching these, we had NO IDEA how good we REALLY had it. (In life, society, morals, our country, people, patriotism entertainment, etc) and we didn't even know it. Now, we're just an embarrassing, degenerate mess!! 😭

[@cathyl2338]

Thank you so much for posting this. I’m on a covid binge enjoying these old ones. 🎶 🎵

[@haradelllovett1025]

Love Randy Travis

[@coraroy5675]

I Love Hank jr.

[@davidterry919]

I remember this very well, one reason it was the same year me and my wife got married. We were just starting and didn't have a lot of money so we watched TV a good bit.

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

Would love to see Barbara Mandrel years. She won entertainer of the year two years in a row. So nice to see the Dolly/Linda/Emmylou trio together again.

[@dutats21]

That performance by Reba- Iconic Last to Know

[@leslie6049]

[@MrMultitool]

I really meant it when I told You that I would love you forever, I was the happiest I had ever been and thought we were meant for each other I honestly don't know how or why I destroyed our marriage but I'll take the blame and carry the guilt. Just know I'm sorry. 1987 was so good I wish it would have not ended. Meet Me in Montana was my favorite song.

[@SuperWynonna]

[@angelacampbell5269]

That was when country music was country, nowadays It's CRAP! Who agrees with me?

[@BigWheelHawaii]

Randy Travis,,, He's So "Genuine",,, He's a National Treasure,,,

[@stevendudley5687]

That George Strait performance would have been better if he had done the whole song instead of coming out before the second verse.

[@ThomasAllen-b8s]

Where are the old commercials? I saw this one on my sisters computer the other night and there were old commercials. That’s why I asked her to send me the link. But in this one and the other 4 there are no commercials. Do they not show up when you watch on iOS?

RIP. Kenny Rogers, Johnny & June Cash, Minnie Pearl, Dan Seales, Holly Dunn, George Jones, Thomas Conley, Oak Ridge Boy (Steve Sanders), Charley Pride, Ray Steven, whitey shafer, Jim Nabors pls add if I missed anyone. Horrible lip synch by Hank 😦😆

[@stevendudley5687]

Ray Stevens is still alive

[@LinkRocks]

Jamie O'Hara and K.T. Oslin passed away recently.

[@Lilliecwalinski16]

Charlie Daniels. He wasn’t in this one, everyone knows he died!!

[@ACcountryFan]

@@stevendudley5687 Correct! In October he released his most recent comedy album. The main song from the album is a music video release called "Hoochie Coochie Dancer"...seen by hundreds of thousands of people on KZbin since it's release in October. Some more songs from his current comedy album are "Gas", "Dis-Connected", "Old Dog", "Ain't Nothin' Funny Anymore", and "Soap Sally". His main base of operations, now, is his performance showroom west of Nashville called the CabaRay. He just wrapped up the 2021 concert season. He'll put on his New Year's Eve concert on the 31st.

[@braydenduke5435]

What makes you say that was a lip sync?? Wasn’t anything like the recorded version of the song

[@xmuta]

1:10:19 hahaha

[@nancyjones9925]

OMG I just saw George Strait.n his wife..She looks just like the daughter they lost in a car wreck! Unreal

[@timrogers1786]

George Strait got robbed! Randy stole George’s awards!

[@jeniferpeace9600]

1:17:10 🎬

[@larkpraise]

McEntire was too affected...especially at the end of her song. Ironic how right afterward Kenny introduced Anne Murray as “no pretention” which is all McEntire is....pretention.

[@mitchellmoon6083]

the start of country's down fall

[@ACcountryFan]

Country radio's downfall didn't arrive, in my opinion, until 1994. By that time any singer over 45 wasn't being played...not even given a chance to compete, actually. I listen to a local Classic Country radio station and I listen online to the songs and singers that I want to hear.

[@braydenduke5435]

How was this the downfall of country music???? These were the golden years

[@atfourothirtythree]

@@ACcountryFan Correct- I994 95 is closer to the mark. 1986-87 we were still listening to great country music!
