Kristofferson doesn't often sing these old traditional songs. A pity, his voice is beautifully suited to them--wonderful that Cash had him join in this one

[@cristinabumbac151]

They were not young anymore but their voices seem to be even better...if possible! And Johnny Cash is just amazing in this scene: white hair, golden voice and his unique way to make us feel every word. Thank you for this!

❤❤. Rest In Peace 🕊️🕊️ Johnny Cash ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jimbanda]

Hard to believe that JC was gone just 10yrs later, his body ravaged by illness. He looks well here, strong and healthy. RIP 🙏

❤. I Love. Johnny Cash ❤❤❤

❤❤. I Love You Kris Kristofferson ❤❤❤❤

There is an interesting story about how Johnny and Kris met so many years ago. As the story goes, Kris had been a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and had a song he wanted Johnny to hear, so he rented a helicopter and landed it in Johnny's back yard. Kris got a gig, and they became lifelong friends, but also friends with Waylon, Willie, Dolly, etc, etc

[@rosegosnell3774]

Kris was never in Vietnam. Read up on him.

[@Nieber100]

Kris was indeed a helicopter pilot, but in the National Guard.............he never served in Vietnam/

[@charliemcgee9803]

This is real country. Tragic story, real instuments.

[@taradeleeuw2344]

Pearls and judges ,great chapter

[@nadiad1678]

Black white vail is one of my favorite songs of Mr. Jonny cash I love him and miss that 😢 he is not here with us here on earth but I know he still with us thank you for playing this song

[@JoeKnows44]

Kris is one of the most gracious and generous musicians ever. Such a talent and always willing to play second fiddle without sacrificing an ounce of passion. This is a blessing to have heard again today.

[@michaeloconnor1757]

The most gracious and generous..." That was my impression meeting him many years ago... I will always carry with me that memory...

[@TheMidnightModder]

Is that you, God?

[@xine9992]

True of both of these artists

[@itspipexd4035]

Two legends..i found kris by listening to johnny cash..👍👍

[@xine9997]

Me, too. Then I realized how much Kritofferson there was in Cash

[@wernermaverick135]

The master himself, 🎶🎶👍

[@tommypetersen2540]

Kris really is great at harmony, so seamless, especially with john

[@xine9992]

Yeah, would have been lovely to hear more like this.

[@glen7318]

wow the cheer when Kris walks on.. and how great J's voice is here... Kris looks like he's trying SO hard to get this perfect

[@klausmohr2364]

Das beste was es je gab....von Johnny Cash

[@eckpolmick5080]

Two great american voices.

[@MrPeter3011]

ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!!!!KRIS together with JOHNNY CASH,2 of the 4 "HIGHWAYMEN"...

[@dand4692]

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me

[@vaclavbydzovsky6073]

Johny and Kris - stars of my music life

[@itspipexd4035]

So true my friend..

❤. Rest in Peace 🕊️🕊️ Johnny Cash ❤

[@garyodriscoll7988]

Only after discovering this song today (March 2018) what a fucking belter! Love it!

[@janicestacy9272]

Love this song these 2 did a great job on this!!❤

[@gunterhohl4850]

Nice!

[@pettypettywoodchuck2]

I always liked the Dave Matthews version of this as well. Showed that to my grandpa one time a few years ago and he looked like he was going to vomit during it. I wasn't surprise since he loves Johnny Cash so much and hearing anyone else sing that is like his blasphemy.

[@niky7348]

Ormai leggende!

[@christinestube2651]

Einzigartig, immer wieder tröstend. Positiv denken!!!Danke

[@dollyprice1915]

Love this. Kris and John.

[@liloldlady1]

I think this was around this time that Bono asked Cash to sing "The Wanderer" for the Zooropa album. It was the start of Cash's great resurrection. Soon after this, he met with Rick Rubin and the rest is history.

[@ThePeterichardson]

Super talent. I'll think of this concert when I'm in Ireland this summer.

[@flautalee3090]

Beautiful tune.

[@Iwastherein1969]

J.R., ol' Levon has a place in heaven waiting for you....what an Arkansas duet that would make singing in heaven....RIP J.R. and LEVON

[@corneliadenninger5395]

To make it perfect let's join Glen Campbell in. /CD

NICE. I believe Lefty Frizell sang this song and sang it first. thank you .

[@thomasmyersnosal8036]

I was waitin for Kris to start wailin on his harp, but alas I'll just have to wail on my own harp as I perform this song tonight on Broadway Street, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. It took me a long time until I finally heard this song, and ever since it remains for me as one of my all time favorites

[@danielmcgee2879]

+thomas myers nosal I know I am a Year late, but, Best of luck to you in your Musical venture....And great choice of song.

[@thomasmyersnosal8036]

+Daniel McGee ... Well here I am a year later, still playin' the streets of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. and still singing that song at least once every single night

[@danielmcgee2879]

thomas myers nosal You will get there Brother....Take care Now.

[@thomasmyersnosal8036]

I AM "there" . I am. AND it is as glorious as it gets. Thanks for predicting my success

Ya'll going to hate my face for this one, but while this is a great version, Emmylou Harris and Dave Mathews is my fav.

Long black veil

[@charlescanterbury9762]

I'm not a big Cash fan, but this is a pretty good version of one of my favorite songs. Kris adds a lot to it. One other thing, to suggest that this a Cash song, is heresy, Lefty Frizzell owns this song, no one touches him on it.

[@biggestkkfan1506]

yes, this is not a Cash song. But not a Lefty Frizzell song either. As far as I know it was written by Marijohn Wilkin, the one who also wrote the beautiful One day at a time 😊 Have just googled, Danny Dill co-wrote it. She even wrote an answer song - that was new to me kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWfNaauggrtjppI

[@biggestkkfan1506]

it's interesting that Danny Dill added another verse to his recording of this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3jEc51qo6qoaq8

[@seanatteberry3686]

Actually, The Band does a great version. I like it better than Lefty.

[@marccohen4571]

I am with you Charles. Cash wrote very few of his hits and did a lot of covers. I think he is one of the most over-rated country stars ever. Merle Haggard was in a completely different category than Cash. And Lefty does own this song.

[@jcucch4603]

@@marccohen4571 Absolutely atrocious statement. He might not be in your top five country artists and that’s fine but he is an outlaw legend. Him and a select few redefined country. Very stupid statement.

Johnny

[@jimwatterson8478]

Wow

[@slavkobarbaric4918]

[@jamestownjamestown3115]

It's because it reminds him of Janis Joplin. Same with me and Bobbie McGee

[@ArmageddonSpeaking]

[@MaynardGKrebs-tt1dd]

I love these guys/Highwaymen, but its not the best version of an old Irish tune.

[@M1nglew00d]

Of course i'm not d\so honourably stupid (or would one say stupidly honourable?) I would have told the judge I was in the arms of my best friend's wife. Might have lost a lover and a best friend, but the lady in the long black veil would not have to roam around missing her sleep. ;) It was quite likely that the slayer was the woman's husband, knowing he'd get away with his crime, counting on the guilty behaviour of his wife and best friend.

[@janettaschuch3591]

M1nglew00d -- would not be surprised

[@ruffian2952]

Lad, the Irish are far less complicated than your plot. We can be blessed with silence...a gift of loyalty.

[@BS1af]

John Carter…

[@theoakhills]

Johnny's face is thin here...he had a drug relapse........who's guess he's be gone in 2003 (Graves disease)

[@msuddie1237]

@Mightymole he is thin here because just before this his jaw had been wired shut from one of the many surgeries he had where they tried to fix his broken jaw and the associated nerve problem in his jaw - he lost a lot of weight during this time as he could only take in liquids. Also, Johnny Cash did not have Graves Disease - if you do your research you will find out that he was finally diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy (after being previously misdiagnosed with both Shy Draeger Syndrome and Parkinsons) and he was diabetic- he died from complications resulting from his diabetes.

[@taradeleeuw2344]

Judges ,ugh

[@jamesgrannes1782]

Kris has wrote many good songs, but he’s getting long in the tooth, and he didn’t, add anything to this song

[@xine9992]

Really? That gorgeous gravel echo?

[@Bluegrass1955]

Kristofferson can't sing at all! I really don't know what he is doing there 🤮

[@corneliadenninger5395]

Johnny was his friend and mentor. And you can see here how much he enjoyed his company.
