Waylon Jennings - I Ain't Living Long Like This (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[@superdave310]

This song truly has an underrated amount of badassery

[@rogerpropst7768]

Written by Rodney Crowell

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

Absolutely 💯

[@squeeze1961]

I want to "thank you" Sir!

[@haydenhodges34]

Heck yeah it does!!!

[@DAVIDSMITHband]

Leash law badassery. Rodney and Waylon are two of my heroes.

[@brenthorne3948]

Nobody will ever out do Ralph Mooney on that Steel Guitar. He never got the credit he deserved. He made Waylon’s songs what they were with his great talent.

[@dexterward231]

He is a Legend

Nobody cooler nor more bad assed than waylon. My main man Cliff Tucker and I drove to Littlefield Texas summer of 2023 to pay homage to the man! Great roadie!

[@claresugarland]

best picker and country singer ever. Waylon is a legend

[@dippydija6275]

i wouldnt say he was the best picker, many many times he doesnt even have his guitar plugged in, but thats not just him, my dad worked with many people from Nashville and they said whether their guitar was plugged in or not, they felt uncomfortable without it, but anyways, many times he is just strumming but you cant hear it.

[@fiveninegarage]

Not even close to the best picker

[@Roystothecoolkid]

@@fiveninegarage his guitar was always plugged on stage. If you couldn't hear him which was rare, his guitar was mixed low.

Man could Waylon pick that old telecaster !!! Today's artist can't compare. He and Merle Haggard. Legend's !!!!!!!

[@ArticLight14]

If you was born in my era and the south he was your grandpa. Waylon was there from the beginning for me. Dukes of Hazard.

[@StevenCryar]

Waylon was a very underappreciated guitar player. He could make that Telecaster sing

[@insulman100]

looks like the same one he played on the Porter Wagner show in 1967 the song was that's what you get for loving me

Waylon Jennings was a true rebel.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Amazing how many great songs were written by Rodney crowell

[@JimmoApsassin]

One 1⃣ of my favorite entertainers on the planet and his awesome music is still in my music library in 2024

[@clintleffingwell8129]

Waylon performed so many songs that were perfect for introducing your gas pedal to the floorboard. ;-)

[@vintvarner16]

But the songs like Amanda, Come With Me, The Wurlitzer Prize could make you cry

[@michaelblaha8317]

Don't ever compare any of today's trash with a legend

[@lillypreston8298]

BRANDON PETERS who's that?

[@johnhopkins658]

Lilly Preston look up Chris Stapletons cover of this song

[@johnhopkins658]

BRANDON PETERS I immediately thought of Chris when I saw this comment because I just watched his cover of this

[@blossomrusso6457]

Damn right.

[@peggygleichman5101]

I just listened to Chris Stapleton's version and it was kick ass awesome. Waylon Jennings would be proud.

[@Lady469WV]

Remembering Waylon Jennings on this June 15th on what would have been his 75th Birthday...Happy Birthday Waylon I Love

[@timmedina3684]

I heard this song when it first came out and I was in my prime and realized that song was describing me and my life and I played the song every chance I could. Praise the Lord for Waylon he was a blessing. 🙏

[@lisakatz9437]

What a gorgeous Man. That smile still makes me melt. Miss you Waylon!!!! RIP

[@dianejohnson1836]

OMG!!!! Love love love this song and WAYLON. Nobody can pick their guitar like him!!! 😮💕

[@davedederer4124]

really underrated as a guitar player...great solos here

[@ΒασίληςΚυριακίδης-ζ9β]

Sorry for being that guy but Waylon's picking was quite simple actually. He played some rhythm sequences because he was a rhythm guitarist but in a unique way that they sounded like a solo. I like the sound of it and I love Waylon Jennings but it was not something difficult to play.

[@NomadicDave2032]

My all time favorite, brings a tear to my eye all is old genuine article outlaws are fading away.

[@DCintheOC]

Miss Waylon and all the ole boys. Thank god their music lives on.

[@tommypetersen2540]

Ralph Mooney is just nuts here! The guy doesn't move, bib his head or nothin and yet he plays that steel like Lucifer! Unless I'm watching them, I can't tell where "Moon" starts and Waylon ends. They were like the Mick and Keith of country. A truly unsung pair.

[@keithandrew3714]

Tommy Petersen Mooney and waylon created the best sound ever heard in country music

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

So, who cares?

[@monmixer]

@@HighSpeedNoDrag who cars if you don't. go step off a wall.

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

@@monmixer Not sure if my comment even remotely applies to you. Step off a wall? Stepped off a few aspects in my life. At age 15, I "stepped" off 85 foot cliff into a quarry/water filled and the hang time was around 5 seconds.

[@SugarSpyce]

@@HighSpeedNoDrag do it again

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

70s outlaw is my favorite country music era and Waylon is the leader! I am really disgusted though how long it took to FINALLY get the queen of outlaw country (Tanya Tucker) to get into the HOF!

[@Mike583]

I remember going to the show & seeing Waylon & other country artists for the first time. It was titled "Nashville Rebel". It was around 1966, I was 13 then. A few years back someone posted the full movie on YT,it was about 4 years ago. Watched it again for the first time since I originally seen it. What memories that brought back! So many in the movie that aren't with us anymore, & we've lost others since then. We sure do miss y'all!❤😔😥💔

[@starbright857]

I was at this Farm Aids concert 1985 was just like WoodStock all over again.I had the time of my life all the stars that came out to dedicate their time for such a great cause the Farmers it rained but we didnt care it is a memory I will never forget

[@tical523]

Roger Miller ‘River in the Rain’ was something else. Then he did ‘Old Friends’ with Willie. 👌

[@lawrencesmith3368]

Waylon was one great guitarist he was in concert back in 1983-84 in McAllen Texas. Waylon came out onstage he made that guitar sing made it make the whoop whoop whoop and then made it yodel. I was so glad I got to see him in concert with his gorgeous wife Jessi Colter. I miss Waylon but his music is forever playing here in Texas

[@tommypetersen2540]

I love how as Waylon got cleaner and cleaner his voice and playing just went into another gear. He was always great but by the early 80s the coke really did a number on him but you can't keep a good (and talented ) nan down. Just love this guy.

[@kimjessee1124]

[@glennsohm6643]

When you know that these people produced music from their hearts and souls, you just have to feel sorry for singers who just fit their talent to a formula from the formula folks. Waylon thumbed his nose at corporate Nashville, played the music he loved and became a legend. The best!

[@LegDrop]

There was no corporate Nashville back then Glenn, you’re thinking of nowadays…

[@conwaytubb3257]

[@chadchesney3858]

I would say that WAYLON is underrated for “BADASSERY”. But it ain’t the truth because EVERYBODY already knew it. There will NEVER be another like that MAN👍😢.

I just love this guy, if Jessie wouldn`t have gotten to him first, I would have been racing to where he was playing and catch him eye.MAYBE you just never knew what the future in 1978 when your 18 yrs. old, but he was sure a hottie and all man and so handsome and sexy as hell.
