The Highwaymen - "Highwayman" Live (1990)

Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson perform the Jimmy Webb song "Highwayman" live. Filmed in March 1990 at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum.
A 1985-2002 country music supergroup.

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again

I'm surprised by the lovefest here. Individual talents out the ass but this song is just silly.

Yikes! It's like the Traveling Wilburys of country. More super-group stuff that comes out sounding like easy listening. Maybe we could get John Tesh to collaborate with Kenny G . . .

So is this Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash?!!? I'm so confused....

Edit: I'm a moron, I see them in the top of the album now and Bill just told us as well.

I like Kristofferson. He excels at just about everything he does. He's a very good at acting, writing, piloting helicopters and probably several other things he's tried. But his singing voice is just flat. Another poster mentioned Willie's voice bringing this group down. I disagree. It's Kristofferson's voice.

I love all of these guys, and they definitely deserve their legendary status... but they could have done so much better than this song - it doesn't reflect their collective greatness.

It's interesting to hear Cash' voice lent to a different song style.

Yeah. I can dig PURE country music but this is the kind of commercial tripe that paints all of C&W with a crappy brush.

I know these guys are legends but...well, when I listen to the new Johnny Cash "Legend" CD this is the one track I skip past. Blech.

Very true forge. I am not generally into country music - but this was great to listen to this morning. Almost as good as my beloved prog rock and celtic music!

Hey - I just noticed on Amazon.com that there is a DVD of this same gathering of great singers. Click here for the DVD version.
(Or go here for just the CD version.)

Does anyone know if that is Mark Knopfler playing electric guitar on this track? Sounds a lot like his style.

Damn I hate his voice. Who the hell invited him to sing with musical greats?


Three other musical greats, that's who dick-head.
