The 26 people who have this a thumbs down are probably Florida Georgia Line fans. JJW and John Prine have left huge holes in my heart. Their music lives on ❤️

I was lucky enough to have had Jerry Jeff play for a couple of birthday parties in Montgomery plus a couple of nights at a bar called Crockmiers back in the 80’s. He was a pleasure to work with. Johnny Sullivan

Jerry Jeff is the most naturally gifted musician and songwriter I've ever seen. I knew it 30 years ago and my opinion hasn't changed.

I grew up with stuff like this, and Ian Tyson, Lefty Frizzell, and others, as well as traditional music from Britain, Ireland, France and America, and people wonder why I never bothered listening to popular music! I just reckon I learnt to enjoy the timeless stuff; why then bother with stuff that will be outdated in two weeks? This is the real deal - it'll never be out of date!

I am seeing this video for the first time. I heard and saw JJW with WAR (Willis Alan Ramsey) and MM (Michael, later with Martin in the middle Murphy) in San Antonio, TX in Oct '73. This video was apparently shot in '93, just 20 short years later. And now eighteen more have flown. What must Jerry look like today? Ever the showman.

In the early 70's Jerry Jeff came into the Clarity Music Bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Playing that night was a performer named Johnnie Walker ,he was incredible , the guy could play any kind of music you could request .....JerryJeff had walked in and ordered a rum and coke and when Johnnie came off stage , Jerry Jeff introduced himself to Johnnie and before his next set JJW got up on the stage in that small Bat and told us he had a new song he was thinkin' about recording a guy named Michael Burton had wrote , he asked us to give a listen and what'd we think : it was going to be first time he ever sang Night Riders Lament in public , his words . Well it was a standing ovation at its end . Because of Johnnie we got Backstage passes , we were going anyways cause a friend from Virginia who was Gove' Scrivenor's Bass player and was now with Jimmy Buffet's Coral Reefer Band. Somehow he came and found me in New Orleans , Harry Daley was his name , great guy but had a illness that cut his career short. Jerry Jeff was the headliner back then , Buffet had not done Margaritaville as yet.

Amazing that I saw your comment. Thanks for the reminder of great times past...I also saw Jerry Jeff at Clarity that same night. He had performed at the old Municipal Auditorium and Roger Kinneman (Clarity's Manager) got him to sit in for a set. My date and I sat with my boots on the stage as he did his set a twofer that night . In July of '17 we drove up to see him at the Birchmere in the DC area...an amazing show. He has always followed his own path and he was as good as ever, rocked the house and threw in a couple encores.
