That is one of the best crowd shots I've ever seen. Absolute legend singing some of the most profound lyrics ever written and there are a couple of broads with Buds in hand, gently swaying to the music, and an uncrowded group of folks sharing a casual word or two. Funny how life is .. and who gets credit for what. Billy Joe Shaver could write 99% of current songwriters under the table.
@@danodano1968 Sign of the times? Don't be such a fake boomer. Maybe country is not her taste in music, maybe she's talking to her daughter about something important, maybe she is meeting some people afterward who need directions etc. A smartphone is an extension of yourself and it allows you to have instant access to all knowledge currently known to man, it allows you to communicate with almost anyone and share any thought you might have. Why would ever that be 'sad' at all?

@@laineyboy I mean...I was...but now that i see this he's just so laid back in the pocket it doesn't seem like he's working hard at all. I find it really relaxing to watch this versus was he was doing even way back in the 1980s.
@@heatherh6814 I'm lost .you obviously don't have a clue as to what you say. More Blusey than Eddie ripping pic, three finger doing lead and pick up at the same time! OK!
I guess by 2015 Billy Joe had realized he was no longer “ the cottonpickin’ rage of the age”, but here in 2022 we still love him ♥️ even though he’s just a diamond 💎 these days! Did this get struck/reported? ‘ 🎶 🎵 Cuz I’m just an old chunk of coal-And It really is “his line from the da-ay.”....🎶🎵. ☮️
Genius. What a beautiful rendition. So love the guitar work on this. Omgosh, so dang perfect! The lead, so tasteful and full of reverence and love. This gentleman is and will be missed!!
Billy Joe Shaver and Norm Macdonald. Making God tap his toes and laugh. I love Norm Macdonald, I used to and I still do. See you kids on the other side. Much love and respect. R.I.P. Diamonds in the sky.
Rest In Peace Normand. You’re a diamond now in a very deep deep grave. 🥲❤️ Prayers for Dylan, Ferne, Neil and Norm Macdonalds extended family. The cancer did not beat Norm, there was no loss to a battle here. It was a draw.
I have the original in my collection of songs. I was hoping that we could hear him sing it original. It was good. i recorded it one nigh in my house on Sinclair Hills Road. Great song. I didn't know at that time that my life would be a case of being Tried by fire.
The camera/editing crew made some very odd choices... Shots of people talking amongst themselves during the song and a lady staring at her phone? Really?! Nice performance, though.RIP Billy Joe Shaver.
RIP Norm. Heartbroken. Hope there are lots of pies on windowsills up there.
This brought tears of laughter! 👏👏👏
He is definitely a diamond now. 💎 ❤
We will all be diamonds some day
Wait, what!? Is that where they leave pies? Ahhh heaven .
Hope they got women up there.
Cos they make all the cookies n pies
Billy Joe Shaver and Norm . Both diamonds in my book
The great Norm macdonald brought me here.
same
lol me too! so happy he did!! two legends and originals
Yep. So he says, he says.....
me too!
me three!
RIP Norm. Didn't even know you were sick.
That's because he never told anyone.
@@aprilrawls5162 It's a joke.
RIP to both Billy and Norm. My heart is heavy right now.
I can’t believe there is no response for these 2 old geezers. Rest In Peace for 2 giants that never got their due.
this and willy the wandering gypsy. speaks on another level.
We lost a diamond today. Rest in Peace Billy Joe Shaver
Now he is a diamond
A shiny one at that! Another big loss.
@@raymondswore2024 someday
damn, this is how I found out about Billy!
Rip norm and billy.God bless them both
RIP Norm Macdonald, He now is a diamond!
RIP Norm MacDonald. In the end, your battle with cancer was a draw.
RIP Norm. Hope you can jam this together again now.
Great song, it reminds me of that old chunk of coal...
So much better than that 9 11 song.
@@KameariKillScreen what a terrible name for a song, reminds me of that tragedy.
@@ferreira7654 I had to walk through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan, looking for my brother.
@@utkarshsrivastava4013 He was in Canada.
Norm and Billy are jamming wherever they're at, RIP
I'm beyond grateful for norm leading me to discover this amazing man Billy Jo Shaver. My love for country has been reborn with BJS
Norm brought me here few months ago, and he brought me back here today, with a heavy heart. RIP Norm, you were the best.
rip Norm, you're the greatest chunk of coal Canada ever made
He said he's gonna put a smile on everybody's face. Well, he definitely got me.
Rest in peace Norm, hope you're jamming with Billy Joe in paradise ❤
Two old chunks of coal, together once again. 😞🙏❤️
Rest In Peace Norm, you are no longer an old chunk of coal, you are now a diamond. Thanks for all the laughs.
RIP Billy Joe Shaver. Thanks for the music that you left behind. You'll be missed.
See ya Norm. You're a diamond now, or so the germans would have me believe...
love you norm
You were a diamond all along, Norm. It just took a little time for us to see it

By the same token, the crowd shot near the end shows a bored woman checking her phone for messages. Sadly, simply a sign of the times.
And yet Billy still brings it with love and even a dance move or two. That’s a pro.

Billy Joe Shaver RIP You will be missed ! Absent from the body present with the Lord !
Thank you Norm!
I love this version of his music much more than what he was doing 20 years ago. I wish he'd re-release a greatest hits in this bluesy style.
Eddie was the business back then. You wasn't feeling that?

It's so strange to see a Country singer without an acoustic guitar that he never plays.
