Toby Keiths Last Live CMA Performance BRITS REACTION

[@carolhayar3037]

Some Background: After this performance on Sept. 28, 2023 @ People's Choice Country Awards, he managed a couple of more performances in Vegas in mid-December. In 2018, Keith met Clint Eastwood when Eastwood was working on his film "The Mule." Keith told Billboard he was surprised by the energy Eastwood had despite being 88 years old, & Eastwood remarked, "I don't let the old man in." Keith liked this line and immediately wrote the song about a man dealing with his increasing age. The song is in Keith's 2019 album Greatest Hits: The Show Dog Years, & featured in the film "The Mule." While not as strong, his voice still sounded clear & good here. Thanks.

Toby write this song for Clint Eastwood after he asked Clint, at his 88th birthday, how he kept working and Clint told him, "I don't let the old man in". Little did Toby know this would apply to him a few year years later. RIP Toby. Thank you for this reaction.

This is his greatest performance ever he already knew I think my opinion that he only had a little time left and he was making the most of it. I respected him the way he enjoyed taking his wife on his tours and the way he was there for his family

[@pamelamiller3749]

That woman they kept showing was his darling wife Trish of 40 plus years. Toby was one of a kind. There will never be another. Love you Toby❤

Wow, I am not ashamed to say I cried throughout that song. 😢 He was so damn young. Cancer sucks plain and simple. His voice of course wasn't as strong but still beautiful as it always was. Poignant lyrics that have a much sadder meaning now. Toby Keith was a master at fun and hilarious songs but also did emotional and patriotic ones as well. His song American Soldier really showcases his vocal abilities and is brilliantly written as is the video. RIP to a dear man and love to all those who loved him.

[@Hawk-ODA212]

Very emotional indeed, FireFighter Chick. A lot of tears shed in the audience too, I would say.

[@chueysmama2622]

Preach! I ugly cried, let someone say something! I'll go full Slayer Chick on them, I trust you'd join me, I know you HAVE to be a bad ass!

BACK STORY: Toby was playing in a Celebrity Golf Tournament with Clint Eastwood (Age 88). Toby asked Clint Eastwood, (who was still very active and about to start filming a new movie) how he manages to do stay so active and fit. Eastwood replied "I don't let the old man in." Toby went home, wrote the song and gifted it to Eastwood. Clint used the song in his new movie "The Mule"

[@valerieburris607]

Wow, he will be miss!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

It was sad watching him so frail His voice still sounded strong Prayers for his family 😢

[@icspots2351]

He wrote this for a Clint Eastwood movie

[@pamegan8735]

Yes he did.Toby said he was t he was talking we have Clint Eastwood and he asked him how can he do all that he does and he said I just don't let the old man in then Toby when home and wrote a song about it and then he sent it to Clint Eastwood and Clint Eastwood decided to put it in his movie The Mule.

[@linhager12]

So sad... thank you

[@kellybarnes-wz2ye]

He was the Elvis of country. Did his own thing and was respected by all! He will never be forgotten and forever loved & remembered! Rest in peace Toby!❤

[@tundiel]

Well, that certainly brought a lump to my throat. 😢 Such an understated performance, too. You could feel the sincerity. 😞

[@chueysmama2622]

HEY LADY!

[@tundiel]

@chueysmama2622 Hey stranger! How are you doing?? If my brain doesn't seize up and forget (like it normally does) I will email you this evening. Hope everyone at Chez Chuey is doing well! 🥰🥰🥰

[@chueysmama2622]

@@tundiel So far so good, Chuey hasn't lost his eye yet. One of his pack members (my hubby's baby) has decided to start having seizures! In order to firmly diagnose she'd have to have an MRI and at 3500$ we are not doing that. She's an OLD gal, so we'll keep her comfortable and happy!

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Toby was golfing with Clint Eastwood & Clint was working on his movie 'The Mule'. Toby asked how he keeps going at his age & Clint said I get up every day & I don't let the old man in. Toby went home & wrote this song & gave it to Clint for his birthday. Clint then used it in the movie 'The Mule'. Seeing him sing this last September it was a perfect song for this performance. He was receiving the People Choice Country Icon award that night. It was hard to watch, but I'm glad I did. He actually did 3 shows in Las Vegas in December too, but this was his last televised performance. I am grateful to have all his music to enjoy for years to come.

Beautiful. He was a great musician and an even better man.

[@dennismarvin48]

One thing about Toby was He was a man's man!

[@TheTravelingQuilter]

I won a contest in 2007 and got to be onstage during a concert for the first few songs. So fun. I saw him in concert in several states the last 2015

[@dianefinn1450]

He was so brave until the end. When celebrities get sick, they disappear from the scene - as most would. But Toby wanted to perform for his fans, family. Amazing!

[@angelado3]

Well I had been doing somewhat better watching Toby's video's but not today- Tears were flowing again. Too many feeling to even try to express. I just admired him always and especially with this performance. His strength, courage and faith was so powerful. ' ♥💔😢😭

[@DAMHoo]

Such a somber and moving performance. RIP Toby

[@BigBuffGuy1]

he had a friend that died of cancer he did a tribute to you guys would probably like its called crying for me

[@robertmerry3788]

do Runnin Blcok by Toby Keith. Funny song

[@Kari5274]

Damn, that even made me shed a few. What a way to come back after almost 6 weeks. I've been away since Feb 1. I've been extremely ill. Finally starting to feel better with a few setbacks. Good to see you guys again!

[@BritPopsReact]

Hey Kari! Great to hear from you, sorry to hear you have not been well but are now back on the path to recovery ❤️‍🩹, you have some catching up to do lol 😂 you take care!! Love BPR

[@firefighterchick]

Glad you doing better Kari!!!😊

[@Kari5274]

I didn't forget you guys. And girls. I just couldn't get out of bed. I went to the walk in clinic and the guy told me I was going to die. He was an ass. That was super bowl Sunday. Yes, I slept through the first half but I did watch the rest. Gotta love football even if it isn't your team.

[@pamegan8735]

I'm sorry to hear you have been feeling ill. Praying for you🙏

😊😊 Thanks for a great channel! Hope you can react to ANGELINA Jordan from her last concert in Las Vegas on February 29. Recommend "Mercy" or "Hero" Elle something else from the concert. PS! Be careful which Fan Cam you choose, as the quality varies from somewhat poor to good! 😊😊

[@gloriaroshto1408]

Don’t let The Old man in was written for the Clint Eastwood Movie “The Mule . The line don’t let the old man in was from Clint. Clint who is maybe 90 ish or late 80s was asked by Toby how he kept going? Clint is still producing movies, and Clint told him “I don’t let the old man in".

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Amazing that he did this as a goodbye song 😢

[@JudyNeal-d4v]

Cant hide from god my love

[@pamegan8735]

Thank you for doing this video. I know it's a tear jerker,but the lyrics had so much meaning about our life and trying to do as much with life while we are still here on earth.. I will be sending more fun and happy ones next time. Love you guys ! You both are Awesome 😊

[@BritPopsReact]

@pamegan8735 Thank you Pam for the request. It was quite a hard watch as we all know the outcome and seeing Toby up there was a tear jerker indeed. Hope you are well and take care

[@chueysmama2622]

This is so fucking sad. I really liked Toby Keith, his take on country was awesome! I'll always be a Slayer girl, but Toby was my side hustle!

[@Hawk-ODA212]

Such an exceptional song by an exceptional artist. The mark of a true professional in my mind when he can remain totally composed while singing lyrics that are so meaningful in his on life and those around him. Very courageous. Thanks for the suggestion, Pam. And thanks guys for sharing this one while giving him the respect he deserves. - Hawk

[@aletmartins6940]

He was half his normal body weight and still thought to joke with someone at that occasion - Didn’t think you’ll ever see me in skinny jeans, huh!

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

Thank you for reacting to him! Slowly we are losing the middle generation of singers that came after George Jones, Tammy, and Loretta. Alan Jackson does not perform anymore and Randy Travis just found his voice again. So, as a traditional country music thank you again.

[@markwoods8565]

Toby Keith played so many shows with the USO around the world for soldiers, sailors, and airmen fighting wars abroad, away from their loved ones. This is one of my favorite songs he played. My brother and I grew up in rural southwest Pennsylvania and everytime we were at a campfire party I would play this song on guitar and my brother would sing it. I hope you both watch and enjoy this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqTaq3mfeLV6rcksi=cYJ2HzS7hPiM56Y1
