 | highwayman live
The best live concert video I know. From the first tour by the supergroup HIGHWAYMAN, the Mount Rushmore of outlaw country--Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings. Unique is their driving uptempo rendition of Kris' HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT, recorded nowhere on audio.
