The Highwaymen - A Boy Named Sue (American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Coliseum, 1990)

[@denniz1990]

I love how Willie and Waylon just are having fun behind him

[@DavidMoviez]

I exploded with laughter at 1:26 with that speedy turn when he started singing again. For some reason, i really see it as a joke from Johnny Cash being his silly self. How CAN'T you have fun when John sings this song?

Kris is always smiling in all these videos it's so great too see how happy he always was.

[@aussiefirie]

He still is happy

[@jonathantaylor6125]

Kris was always too humble in the midst of the greats such as Johny Cash. What he didn’t realise is that we all saw Kris as equal to the ‘greats’. He is a raw, visceral and guttural singer. One of the greats.

[@highnrising]

@@jonathantaylor6125 --Waylon took charge and basically became the MC/comedian, in addition to performing. Kris did look somewhat in awe of the others, who were much bigger stars in terms of being country performers. [Kris was also an occasional movie star, as well as a great songwriter.] Cash seemed to be enjoying himself and was very friendly with Waylon and Kris. For some reason, Willie seemed kind of aloof. He performed his parts, but he did not seem to be having fun with the whole Highwaymen concept.

[@bennybennerson7728]

I just wish I was alive to see them

[@johndybala8580]

I had tickets to see Johnny in 1998 but that was the tour he cut short due to illness and, to my knowledge, he never went back on the road. I got to see Possum (and saw everyone hooting and hollering for every part of the show ... except the three and a half minutes of "50,000 Names" when it was dead silent). I saw Merle and watched his backup singer get a bigger ovation than any backup singer ever when she sang "I Want To Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart." I happened to be hanging around in downtown Denver one evening when someone randomly handed a ticket to see Don Williams. I was so taken that I went to see him three more times on various tours. Don Williams occasionally complained about the altitude. Possum did too. And then there was Dolly, who at *cough* years old, performed in an outdoor amphitheater for three hours and never took her foot off the gas.

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

1:26 Johnny turns around to Waylon and Willie who are laughing and having the time of their life. Johnny gives em a look of “quieten it down”, and Waylon instantly apologises. Brilliant

[@sussudio]

He was singing about the "evil eye", so I think he was mainly acting out that part of the lyrics.

[@MariaLopez-r2o]

Love this consert

[@vstrum23]

If they sang 20 songs in this concert, 21 of them would be amazing!!! These men are a gift to humanity. So nice to see Kris smiling all the way and Willie & Waylon enjoying the song, while also holding up a few chords to play along... And when it ends; simply love the way how Kris places the acoustic guitar back and picks up the electric one, apparently getting ready for the next amazing piece. They all have so much of respect for each other as fellow musicians. So, so, so, beautiful! And I truly wish Johnny & Waylon were with us... RIP.

Cobb (rhythm guitar and background vocals) Robby Turner (pedal steel guitar) Also, props to Chips Moman who brought all these great musicians together. And, I want to give props to Willie Nelson and his guitar playing that makes a lot of these songs better.
