That was around the first time I seen Hank JR he can play 17 different instruments and in his Confederate Suit. Now people would be calling him all kinds of names but he is still the man. Musical Genius.
Yeah I saw Derrick Thomas on stage with Hank Jr and man could he sing.Nothing racist about Hank Jr and Derrick Thomas was one of his friends. RIP Derrick
The Jacket he is wearing is not Confederate. The cheap farby Kepi is. I've met all of them when I worked in Security Alarm, Camera, and access business. I will tell you this, great men and I know I will see them again in Heaven.
I've listened to Alabama, I've listened to Hank, but THIS, this is solid country gold!!! At 40 years of age I feel like I ha e no idea what a real concert should and could be! Had me smiling the whole time
Back when Hank and Alabama were arguably the biggest acts in country, in their prime. To damn bad I was 2 years old. Would’ve been so great to see this back in the day.
As the great-great-great grandson of a Confederate sergeant who fought and was wounded at both the Battle of Chickamauga and the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, as well as a Smoky Mountain hillbilly from Franklin, North Carolina like he was, I cannot describe in words how much I adore, advocate, and take pride in what I have just witnessed. God bless!
I’m as southern as one can get, a veteran from the Marines and I love the views and laws we are fighting to keep that we hold dear “today” in the south. And my ancestors fought willing for the south and died in shiloh Tennessee. But to be proud of a heritage that fought to keep slavery alive, a heritage that hated the decoration of independence/Constitution, a heritage that swears up and down the war was fought for many reasons other then slavery to help them feel better about themselves, a heritage of traitors is sad. But that is what makes America great you can freely express your ignorant views but doesn’t mean you should. I’m embarrassed of my Heritage and you should be to. Sins of the father and all.
Alabama and Hank Jr were the founders of Country Rock and they were the biggest country stars in 80s and seeing them together must’ve been the best time moment for all country music fans who love Alabama and Hank Jr
H Cubed. Randy Owen, the lead singer of Alabama was NOT making an ass of himself. That's how they performed on stage to really get the fans in to it. That's why they are the greatest country music group of all time and they are the greatest country music group of the 20th century. If you have not seen them then don't say anything wrong about them. I've seen them 19 times and I love how they performed like this.
I’ve seen Alabama several times they were fantastic!!! And no he’s not making an ass he’s performing and by god he’s good!! That would’ve been a hell of a show!!
If you and your sympathizers who replied approvingly below believe that such silly, childish, girlish behavior would get a bunch of US Navy sailors and other Navy personnel into the music, you are sadly mistaken. It is ass wipe behavior, and that is why there was so much applause when Hank Jr. came on and did not dance around like a paper kite. I have not been to an Alabama concert ever, and for the sake of my military bearing, I am glad I did not. Another comment here said that Owen was always full of himself. That about sums it up for me.
@@hcubed4354 the only person is an as wipe is you and the person that was dancing near the end was not randy owen it was someone else so get your facts straight. Randy owen was just standing there and playing the guitar and singing and jumped up a couple of times. And no Randy is not full of himself you are loser oh and by the way you only have 130 subs so i'm not worried about your loser opinion I just watched the video cause of Alabama and Hank
I have lost count of how many Alabama concerts my wife and I went to including June Jam, they were probably the best country group ever, and Hank Jr was right up there with them!

ALABAMA by far the best country band ever and my fave, followed by The Judds. But when Hank Jr sings those lyrics... hot damn it feels it had that much more soul.
Me: Tennessee River is the best song ever. There's no way you can improve it.. Alabama: What if we perform it for the troops on an Aircraft Carrier and add a banjo solo done by Hank Williams Jr. Wearing a Confederate uniform. Me: 🤔 You sob, I'm in.
The good ole days when country music was still on the top side of the sod. Its been dead for a while God rest it's soul. Thank goodness for CZcams and satellite radio because that's the only way to hear it now.
No, it's not dead, it's just that stations only play this "new country", which isn't even country. Thankfully, there are still artists that record real country, you just have to look for it, as it's not mainstream anymore.
@@rodneyyarbrough6524 Yeah, and they won't even play oldies on today's stations. Thankfully CZcams has all the Hank, George, Johnny and all the others legends of real country.
this is absolutely true country music this will never get replaced two icons the mighty Alabama and Hank Jr two legends in their own right never again will see talent like this on one stage this is just amazing great country music
Hank Jr. was and still is the man wished Country music today would realize what talent is. Electronics has put pretty face with no talent on the charts.
Seen them in B'ham open for ole Bocephus, at Boutwell Auditorium. Hank songs were played by Alabama cause Bo Showed up at closing time Fu*ked up. It was Epic.1981 ! Rock out Dont put that Joint Out. 10th B day.HELL YEAH🤘
I saw these Boys 3 times..Twice in the Lakeland Civic Center, Clint Black was on one of them. Saw them in Tampa. Waylon Jennings opened up the show. Good Times always with the boys from Ft. Payne..Top Shelf, #1..
I bet that was a cool show to be at! Just when you think it can't get any better, Hank Jr. comes strolling out on stage with a banjo strapped on. It don't get more country than that, Hank Jr, a civil war suit and a banjo!
You got two iconic Legends here in Bocephus Mr Hank Williams Junior in the mighty Alabama he looked great coming out in the Confederate Gray this is just an iconic moment with these men on the stage these iconic Legends
Today's so called "country artist" need to watch this video and learn how to play real country music. Two all time greats on one stage ....man what a good time that must have been. What I wouldn't give to be 19 instead of 9 when this show took place💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶
I never knew this had ever happened! Hank and Alabama on stage together, these two artists were the top two Country artists of the 80's. Nobody sold more records in the 80's than Hank and Alabama. I wonder who sold more, Hank had more albums to sell but I think individually Alabama records sold a little more than Hank's did. Just a guess though.
Love Hank Williams JR. The man can play any instrument and play as well or better then most musicians. Country music musicians never get any recognition about there guitar playing. Hank can play as well as hendrix or Stevie ray Vaughn. In my opinion
We were able to see Alabama at Melody Fair (small venue just outside Buffalo NY). What a great show they did in that cramped music hall. Easily better than all the arena concerts. Miss all these guys.
Trump country music the best of the best.Randy Owen's was not making a fool of him self he is great this is how true country people are trust me I know I'm country and am from Alabama. Born breed and proud of it.woundn't have it any other way.
I remember hurrying home to watch this on tv as a kid, I don't remember if it was on ABC, CBS or NBC, long before there was a FOX network lol Does anyone recall which network it was on?
Great music, I saw them both perform back in the 80’s! Those who are confused by southern pride in the confederacy, should read Shelby Foote’s writings on the civil war and also watch his interviews on CZcams. (There’s a reason that people appreciate the south and are migrating to it)
Hank in a confederate soldier outfit back before every damn body got their feelings hurt I love it
Might as well wear a buffalo bills jersey. #youlost
@@wakudastudio why am I lost I know exactly where I am
@@wakudastudio god bless Dixie you’d lose if we fought again
@@wakudastudio The south was way outnumbered and still killed a lot more than they lost.
Yes indeed!
There's more talent on that stage than there is in all the new so called country music.
That is a fact
There is no country music left!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the same thing I was thinking. Damn that's classic
You can still find good country music, some country that has a rock edge to it. What I speak of is Red Dirt country or also called Texas Music.
There's alot of good country outside of the mainstream, it's just hard to find.
That was around the first time I seen Hank JR he can play 17 different instruments and in his Confederate Suit. Now people would be calling him all kinds of names but he is still the man. Musical Genius.
And we all know o’l Bocephus doesn’t care what anyone thinks😁
They won't call him any of them to his face.
Yeah I saw Derrick Thomas on stage with Hank Jr and man could he sing.Nothing racist about Hank Jr and Derrick Thomas was one of his friends. RIP Derrick
Absolutely the greatest!
The GOAT!
The Jacket he is wearing is not Confederate. The cheap farby Kepi is. I've met all of them when I worked in Security Alarm, Camera, and access business. I will tell you this, great men and I know I will see them again in Heaven.
Hank Jr and Jeff Cook of Alabama are two of the best musicians that country music has ever seen. RIP Jeff.
Country music and the confederacy will live forever
This one clip is why Hank Jr is in a league of his own
I've listened to Alabama, I've listened to Hank, but THIS, this is solid country gold!!! At 40 years of age I feel like I ha e no idea what a real concert should and could be! Had me smiling the whole time
We'll never see country music like this again
Back when Hank and Alabama were arguably the biggest acts in country, in their prime. To damn bad I was 2 years old. Would’ve been so great to see this back in the day.
Are there other acts in country music? The good ones are passing fast and no one replacing them.
@@tennray just like George said who's going to fill their shoes
@@tennray
Yes, but they don’t get played on the radio. Check out Cody Jinks as well as some of Aaron Lewis’ country music.
Pure musical geniuses.
Yet Nashville wouldn't even nominate Hank. He had 9 albums on the charts at da same time here .... NEVER done before or since

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALLKINN! BOUT!!
I am just across that GA line...
That's the best live performance of anything, ever.

I love his confederate solider gear

Randy Owen and Hank Jr, 2 guys that can take 50,000 people and hold them right in the palm of their hands!
Legendary. It will never be the same.
My favorite Alabama song and Hank my favorite artist. That was great.
Hank Jr and Alabama. My Favorite singers. They are awesome
1984! Hank jr, was the BOSS!
He still is amongst us outlaw country listeners. Till we die
In 1986 I was nine.
The family and would go down to Boulder Beach .
This song was one of our favorites to enjoy there.
That's pretty decent pickin' on the banjo.
Me: Tennessee River is the best song ever. There's no way you can improve it..
Alabama: What if we perform it for the troops on an Aircraft Carrier and add a banjo solo done by Hank Williams Jr. Wearing a Confederate uniform.
Me: 🤔 You sob, I'm in.

Good Gosh Almighty... When Hank came onstage I bout damn near died! 🤠

I didn’t realize Randy Owens had this energy on stage.
He was at his peak 86 thru 88, if I recall. They toured extensively.
God he has always been good at all he does 😊❤️
Roger that! Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for the idea.

One should be careful because they are trying to take away our music. Also i absolutely loved that at the end there it was magical.
What would I give to see this one live in person awesome 👏
That was kick ass!!
That's the most American thing I've ever seen and heard in my 46 years on God's green Earth 🌍!
Hot Damn! It’s the Soggy Bottom Boys!!!!
Gave me chillbumps! Awesome show!
Alright,my Brother Milton loved to listen and go see Alabama play with Mom and Dad
