Loving Her Was Easier - Nelson / Kristofferson

From a 1992 concert by the Highwaymen in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson with Kris's song Loving Her Was Easier (than anything I'll ever do again.

[@KatDn7]

This is the only concert I ever attended alone. I had two tickets, nobody else wanted to go with me. You can't imagine how many people regretted that....

[@royzee28]

My wife, at the time!! , had the chance of comp tickets from her work. She turned them down, I never forgave her for that mistake! Funnily enough she made bigger mistakes later which she was forgiven but not this one....

[@garynoles2734]

Hello Kate

Fools.

[@bennyd888]

Believe me, I do imagine !

[@bobbyjones-dr9il]

I would have went with you and paid for my own ticket no strings attached they are legends

[@rossshin184]

What it takes to be a legend. To be one with his old, scrapped, injured guitar, to be one thing with her, to make his ageless voice the perfect company for her. Just that.

[@margaretwilson1539]

This song brings back so many lovely memories from the 70s. I will always listen.. Thank you Kris and Willie...👍👍⭐⭐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@moragmacrae9212]

Willie’s guitar playing is just incredible, love him x

[@independentmusicguy]

Willie Nelson's guitar playing is coarse, untrained, rough, and more brilliant than the work of anyone with a PhD in music or the most accomplished trained performers. It is a force of nature made even more wonderful played on that antique nylon string guitar. It is perfect.

[@sartainja]

I think Kris is one of the most gifted songwriter ever. He wrote this song.

The most beautiful song of all time . Chris may have written it but Willie refined it .

[@rheaub2]

Willie's guitar solo @ 2:57 is the game-changer here, just masterful and Kristofferson backs off knowing that Willie is in charge, taking his song to a higher level. Willie hears sounds that others don't and has the gift of sharing those sounds through the guitar and his distinct phrasing. An awesome demonstration here for all of us who pick and sing and maybe write a bit. And KK is delighted to hear his song interpreted so well, transforming it really.

Here's another one of the long-standing greatest artists of our time! Willie Nelson was a superb song-writer and musician. Few can compare with that kind of success today! Listening to this number of Willie's is easy, soothing and relaxing, probably the easiest feeling I'll have all day long today! (Kris Kristofferson is a great songwriter (he wrote this song) and singer in his own right, so nice to see and hear them working together!) Willie is about 87 now, and STILL touring, still at it, bless him for giving us so many years of pleasure!

What a super great human!
