The most amazing thing about this video is that Paycheck was 42, Haggard was 43 and Willie was 46. Awesome

Wow, and if Willie is 90 now, it means the others are in or close to being in their 80's....and still have such awesone voices. God Bless and keep them well for many more years. I love every one of these wonderful Artists....always have, always will..💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

Peak performance from Merle Haggard. I’ve not seen any other performances where he sounds better than this, nor any recording. Terrific ! Willie looks at him in awe at him at one point, then steals a guitar to properly get involved in the jam.

Ya gotta love this music, these guys are legends. My Dad got to spend Christmas Eve with Haggard. Merle was good friends with some of our family, I was invited to go but my wife at the time raised hell, so I didn't go. I should had left that bitty and went. Major regret for sure. I've been divorced from that bitty for 19 years now. LOL. My Dad has been gone 11 years now. I sure wished I spent that Christmas eve. Who in the hell would ever think Merle Haggard would be in Traphill NC anytime more or less Christmas. Legends like Merle and my Dad is Surely Missed.

Well, I learned something today. I have been listening to this album since it came out years ago. We used to rewind that "Come on Will" part over and over again just listening to Merle call on Will. Until right now I had no idea he was calling on Willie Nelson. My friends and I have always talked about what an awesome concert that was and how we wished we could have been there. It is really awesome to sit here 35 years later and watch videos of it. Thanks for posting.

[@fegar1]

I'm in the same boat, I've listened to this album since it came out and always thought "Will" was a band member until I saw this. My dad had this album and though we had very different taste in music we both loved Merle as did my grandfather. He was hands down the best there has ever been and he never sounded better than he did singing "Sing me back home" at this concert. I get choked up every time I here it even after all these years.

[@RobertHampton747]

I recorded a duet with Johnny PayCheck in 1992 and I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting it.

[@RobertHampton747]

My duet with Johnny Paycheck was a Country Christian song called "I Love My Jesus" written by Terry Parkerson released on Air Records for radio airplay only. It's purpose was to get me noticed by the industry and signed to a recording contract. You can find the song on KZbin but there is another Robert Hampton that also shows up so add Paycheck to my name in the search.

[@RobertHampton747]

@Frank Roth It did help me in some ways. I was being talked about all over Nashville, music industry people were asking who is this Robert Hampton that's recording with Paycheck. They were told "He must be somebody or he wouldn't be recording with PayCheck." I was in the process of talking with a record label owned by Vision Television Network out of Conway Twitty's Twitty City. But then they had a 10 million dollar embezzlement that derailed that. Also a couple others expressed interest but turned out to be a big money game. I did get to sing with the first runner up to Miss America Miss Georgia Kara Martin and on live TV and at the Crystal Cathedral. But I came home to Oregon because of an evil greedy person and I'm glad I did. It's a cut throat business.

[@staceypitzer6717]

My favorite country song and I love the way he slowed it down from original recording. The reason it's my favorite is that is exactly what it does is sing me back to when my family was still alive and at grandpa's house and I was youngest child and didn't go to river with all the men. Age 3. This song was third song on 8 track of various songs so it would go to next trrack and play two songs and I would click click click back to track one and hear it again. I was in the room off the kitchen where the females were cooking. They never caught me. Look.

[@candacedutcher5837]

I have been reading some comments on this A denim Concert; I am smiling as I write this I to recognize a mellow Willie though his eyes seem to be pleading to Paycheck Hold it together man. Willie's guitar is singing and Merle is just trying to play his music man. 35 years for me too. Though I have never been to Aneheim I was right there.
