Jamey Johnson - In Color (Live at Farm Aid 2018)

Jamey Johnson performs In Color at Farm Aid 2018 at XFINITY Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 22.
Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

My dad a WW2 vet died in 08 and my wife put together a picture video and used In Color for the first song. The old B&W photos fit in with the song so well. Dad even had an army buddy named McGee. The first color pic was of their wedding and the flowers were red. I tear up ever time I hear this song.

This is the quintessential country song about trying to stay alive during the toughest of times. Praise God for Johnny McGee the tail gunner and all of those tail gunners who never came home.

There is a whole lot of talent right there on that stage. No fireworks or dancers required! Just heart! One of the very few (very few) left

I dedicate this song to my grandfather and his brothers that stormed the blood-stained beaches of Normandy! I'm thankful we didn't have to see it in color! For those that did could never forget and my grandfather never forgot it in his 91 years!!!

[@joshuariddle4420]

if your grandfather is only 91 then he in fact, did not storm the beaches at normandy, he is korean war vet age.

[@12yearssober]

My uncle was with E Company 16th infantry 1st Division. He was in the first wave to hit Omaha Beach. He saw action from Africa, Sicily, France and finally Germany. About a week before Germany surrendered he and many others who had seen as much action as him were given 30 days Liberty passes. He decided to go to Paris with some other guys in his outfit. He was in Paris when Germany surrendered. He said it was a three day long celebration. He had pictures from those days and it did indeed look like a fantastic time. After liberty he they were making plans to begin training for the possible invasion of Japan which obviously never happened. He was discharged in early December of 1945 and made it back home About a month later. The most amazing thing is that with all of the action he saw he never got as much as a scratch. He struggled with what we now would call survivors guilt and PTSD. He drank heavily throughout his life after the war but was able to hold a good job and provided well for his family. He passed away from a heart attack in 1988. I wish I knew how valuable his experience was when I was younger. I wish I would have had the sense to thank him for what he did over there. RIP Uncle Fred.
