Merle haggard music is truly the language of the soul and heart. this musical genre is real music that touches the spirit in the real sense of the world 🌍 You're a real fan
In this this Stage of Country Music..This was where all the great Artist were..Now there dying out not lot of them left...Today's Country has gone to the crapper
I live the kinda life that most men only dream of I make a living writing these songs and singing them But I'm 40 years old and I ain't got no place to go when it's over So I'll hide my age and make the stage and try to kick all the footlights out again.
When you have a man who can pick as good as he writes, and writes as good as he sings, you got Merle Haggard. I don't care who you this is great damn song.
The strength and power in Merle's voice, and the conviction with which he delivered that song, would never be duplicated again. Not even by him. The people who were there that day, got a gift that day that no one else, ever did, or ever will, receive. RIP Merle Haggard......the one and only.
I was wondering how to put how I felt about his performance that day but nevermind me writing one now after reading your comment, you said it perfect!......you know singers have their on or off performances and on that day he was badass ( excuse my language I couldn't help it)
This man lives his songs when he sings them. That's what makes the songs so meaningful.. He is a true artist and a wonderful guitar player too.. He is simply awesome!

One song that will played at my memorial. Had funeral for client & had friend play guitar & harmonica. Funeral director said one of the most best service he had seen. There was no organ/piano, just Darryl & his instruments. Played all her favorite songs..
No one ever sang or played a guitar then or now, any way near as good as Merle Haggard; he got out of jail and helped.lots of people then and today 29 December 2022 and from now on. We learn so much from the lyrics of every song he ever wrote.and.played and sang too. JOHNNY PAYCHECK is one of my favourites too, & johnny paycheck's song Motel time. I was homeless for 4months and.Thanks to my GENEROUS mother and father and what they gave me.after.they had passed away...motel time...was EXACTLY AS IT WAS. In his song [minus the alcohol, I don't drink.it]
Thanks for posting and a special thanks to Billy Don Burns for all his efforts in getting Merle and Johnny together. Merle was extremely busy with his engagements and he made time for this show.
I heard he was in kansas on tour when he got the word about playing he said he. Would and he took a private jet. To ross county airport did the gig for johnny. Then jeted. Right back to his gig now that is friendship at its bet
I remember laying on my grandmother bed listing to merle when I was 4 n 5 years old on wplo a Am radio station I remember how we both would b quiet as a mouse to hear him n few more greats sing today I'm 58 year old n his music brings back them memories being with my grandmother just like she still sitting b side me listing. Th merle making these memories
There truly is nothing to compare to this older Counry and Western music. And,now it's only country music,without the "Western" that gave it it's distinction. My parents played Country and Western music all my life. They toured with me in tow,and this song was one of those my Mom sang. My parents toured from 1947 throughout the late 60's,when they retired finally. Merle Haggard was one of their peers at the time,and played at a couple of venues with him. Same with Waylon Jennings. I remember him well. He liked to play Horse,a dice game. He let me play that game with him once. :}
He didn't need a image consultant. None of the artists did back then. They built the foundation of Country Music. I believe there are artists who want to do traditional working class Country Music. So many are at the mercy of the industry. We live in the day of the fast buck.
Merle believed in the dear Lord Jesus Christ too and put his faith in Him. "The Old Rugged Cross" he performed and added in his own Mother to the song and dedicated it to Her for her Birthday
@davidmoore2924 lost My silver haired daddy , that's a price we all got to pay but sure was hard to see him go.but I got some of the sweetest memories !!!!
@@karenbritt8888 I'm so sorry for your loss, it's good to hear that you keep some sweet memories back then, And please always have enough rest ok. Don't do anything that will stress you.
I had hoped that one of the only things us Haggard fans could enjoy would be some new Merle DVDs to purchase. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. Thanks for posting this.
Shakeyleg, I've been wondering about that,,,would think more video and DVDs would have been released. Is the Haggard family not wanting this or is there an underlying issue that we are not privy to? When Jones and Cash died, seemed like market was flooded with so much. Merle deserves to be out there in video and DVD,,,,thank Goodness we have You Tube and Amazon and others to keep his music alive.
@@karenenderle532 As fans of course we just always want more. There is an unbelievable amount of material but there just doesn’t seem to be much motivation to release it. If the movie about his life ever actually gets made maybe part of that would be a piggyback release of new material. None of us are getting any younger. 😆
Fantastic! I hope to see the entire Paycheck/ Merle CCI concert at CCI remastered and released some day.. I use to have a cassette tape of at least a portion of it that had to be at least 3 or 4 generations out. Very poor quality. Someone has to have the original material, yeah?
Mearle really tried hard and took Johnny Paycheck under his wing when Johnny was down and out. His liquor and coke habit really got him in alot of trouble. But Mearle saw a great country artist that needed a hand and helped.
Only video I recall of merle while he’s under the influence of something.... either way; it’s nothing short of excellent, like everything else he recorded
Whether he was or wasn't under the influence, I read an article about Merle where it stated that he admitted to spending $2,000 a week on cocain. Not unusual for musicians with a very demanding life style. I still love the "Hag"--he was one of the best!
don't blame the under something influence..real talent is talent!even you eat that under something influence if you don't have any kind of talent is useless
Oh Merle, How we miss you
