It’s like butterscotch. How cool was Merle… he looks even more relaxed performing than Dean Martin.

I have listened to this song for years from the Rainbow Stew Live album. Never did I realize he was referring to Willie Nelson when he says "C'mon Will". I never get tired of this song.
@tjdinfl6 ай бұрын
Agreed. We used to rewind the cassette (lol) over and over to the “c’mon Will!” Never knew until these videos surfaced who Will was. It was also awesome to see the video of the stands rocking up and down when the voice comes over the speaker and says “Attention! For your own safety, please do not dance on the upper level!” We used to talk about what an awesome concert that would have been to be at.

Not sure what year this is but I was at Giants Stadium in NJ in 83' at Willie's 4th of July picnic and was able to see Merle live for the first time. Needless to say at 17 I was hooked for life with Merle. At 56 I still have to get my daily dose of the Hagg!!
