And that's how a legend does it. RIP Charlie.

That’s my cousin. Granny would be so proud. Fly high Charlie, you where the greatest

He’s salt of the earth. We’ll miss you here in middle Tennessee.

I saw Charlie Daniels play a gold fiddle live, I won't ever forget that, goodbye sir, you were one of a kind.

RIP Charlie. The world is a lesser place without you. Can you just imagine the receiving line at the Pearly Gates?

I’m proud to say I got to see Mr. Daniels sing and play in Oklahoma in the rain.

I grew up going to Charlie Daniels day in the 80's. He even did a free concert at my junior high school. I got to get out of class and help clean up after the show and I sat and talked to him once for about 15 min. He was very cool and very nice. I think i was 14. At Charlie Daniels day they would bring the Skoal race car and show it off and they gave away free cans of Skoal and the new Skoal Bandit in a pouch. All of us was walking around with our mouths packed full of dip. Some of the best times of my life. Charlie was and is an American treasure. Sad to hear of his passing.

Just his voice and a guitar. Nowhere to hide. My favorite kind of performance. Awesome talent and beautiful song.

He could write a song about grandma baking a apple pie with the smells and all the ingredients that went into it and you felt like you were there yourself. R.I.P. CHARLIE. You be missed by many .

What a talented humble man. R.I.P. Charlie

Thanks for finally posting this. We had it in our archives on VHS but didn't have decent equipment to transfer to digital. - TeamCDB

LOL. This is awesome. Charlie Daniels dipping "snuff" with Dave.

Wow! Never heard him sing this song before. "Wyoming On My Mind" is a helluva song written and sung by a helluva singer-songwriter!

Well spoken, cordial. That is brave, just a guitar and your voice, sittin' on a chair... and he nailed it. That is talent.

One of the absolute greatest RIP Charlie

God bless Charlie Daniels. Rest Easy.

I read a crap load of western novels when i was a teenager and a young man. Mostly Louis Lamore and Zane Grey. I could burn one up a night sometimes. the 80's were the best music ever for rock, country and country rock and it introduced other genres. RIP charlie. i worked in the country music business for 30 years and with Charlie and his crew many times as an audio engineer. Always a good day. Never a bad one. Yesterday was a sad day.

They tried to make fun of you Mr. Daniel's but you blew them away. God bless you! Your music will live forever!

We love you Sir. I'll see you soon and sit next to Jesus and listen to you play

Charlie is a legend and his music will live forever.

Rest in peace charlie! We love you!

Man, Charlie can sing. I am so thankful that I grew up when I did. Nobody will ever experience the music that we listened to in the 70's and 80's again. I've seen Charlie in concert so many times and have never been disappointed. Charlie and Marshall Tucker played an outdoor concert at Augusta Expoland in Fishersville Va. in the 80's. The neighbors from a distance complained about the noise and they have never had an outdoor concert since.

I had the humbling privilege to meet this fine Christian gentleman a couple of years ago. He was so kind and sweet! I'm 52 and have loved all of his music all of my life! Hew was and is an American treasure!

RIP Charlie Daniels (Oct. 1936-Jul. 2020)

I saw him when I was 4yrs old and he gave me his hat at the end of the show. Based on the pictures, I would agree when my mom said he was an amazing and kind man

What an incredible treasure I found tonight. Dang I love music so much. This is another internet discovery I get to revel in having never seen this before. It is a moment captured in time to me how extraordinary the song he plays live like Picasso. Beautiful voice and guitar play. Representing smart and talented as any one person could be the great Charlie Daniels. We are not worthy lol. It's just an unbelievable beautiful performance sound and stage presence. To do that on a late night talk show and show out like he did It's just unbelievable how good this is. One of a kind honestly

First time I saw Charlie play was in the 80s in Murfreesboro TN. He opened for Alabama. It was a snowy evening and he drove down from his home in Mt. Juliet to play. The show was a little late getting started and Charlie apologized and said he stopped to help a few people who had slid of the road into a ditch. That's just the kind of man he was. The show can wait when people need a hand.

Long haired country boy my favorite. I will take another toke for ya Charlie RIP

Gee, I never knew you Charlie like I know you now. But now you're gone. What a beautiful man you were. A lovely song, great talent. Peace.

Charlie was a awesome man inside & out! Great character.

Thank you for this. When I was a kid I worked the night shift in the Nashville airport parking lot. As I remember Charley drove a white Bronco. He'd usually show up after all the other planes and people had left. He'd pull up to my little booth turn the Bronco off and say, "how you doing partner". A small thing maybe but it meant the world to me. Such a classy, humble guy.

AHH back in the day. When music was great and late-night was still worth watching. There was only one charlie Daniels. A phenomenal musician. Thanks for sharing.

I've been a fan of Charlie since the early 70's, never heard this before ! RIP Charlie, you will alway's be on my mind and in my Heart !

RIP Charlie,,, bet your the only one that had dave dippin' snuff...

Saw CDB quite a few times. Charlie was one of the best. RIP Charlie. Thank you for the stories and the songs.

Great performer, saw him in Portland, Maine in the early 80's. Loved family, God and the US of A. Peace

Rest In Peace Charlie Daniels you will be missed 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭🤬😢

No nerves, smooth as silk and absolutely owned it. Man what a legend. Rip Mr. Daniels

You helped me become a Christian. God Bless RIP Cowboy!

No autotune needed!!! That is talent. The very small imperfections make it all the better.

I got to see him sing in concert at the Golden Nugget. A month later, I was in Wal-Mart when I heard on the radio he had passed. God kept him long enough for me to see him. He's in a better place now 🙌

He just had the nicest voice, speaking and singing!! Nicest guy in every single interview I've ever seen!! What a nice song, reminds me of something John Denver would of done. Such a smooth voice and so talented! I miss him!!

God bless you Charlie Daniels!!! I have enjoyed your music for 40+ years!! I had the privilege of seeing you at SPAC...in the 80's!! One of the greatest night of my life!!! God speed sir!! You will be missed!!!

Saw Charlie twice back in the 1970's. He was a true American treasure, both he AND his music. He was known for his strong fiddle work but the man could play an electric guitar second to none, as well. RIP, Charlie. Thank you for the music & memories.

Oh man that was beautiful. He was such a natural and one of kind. God bless America

To whomever posted this, you've done more for me than you will ever know. Sincerely, Sandy 😘❤️🤠 They thought he was going to be hokey and silly and slow minded. I guess Letterman didn't just meet the singer, he and the audience just met their 1st Cowboy 🤠❤️😘 and he hypnotized everyone. I saw Charlie 6 times. One time at an old run down bar everybody dancing on the floor. I was right up front when the very 1st time I watched him play "Devil went down to Georgia". He broke every bow on that fiddle. His sweat hit me may as well been Holy Water to a woman like me. 🤠🐎❤️ He lived a great life. He gainfully employed 40 people for 40 years that doesn't make me miss him every single day he went home. See you soon Cowboy. I loved you before I was born.

TIP Charlie Daniel's. Thank you for the memories I made with your music as my sound track. Godspeed Charlie Daniels.

Saw The CDB here on Long Island at the Hofstra Playhouse in 77. I had front row seats because my grandfather ran the Playhouse. WHAT A SHOW. Charlie Rocks. He always will. It's who he is! And 100% All American! It's My Life is truly his Anthem! Thank you Charlie!!!!!

This is amazing brother thanks

My gosh. What a song. Was out at sea in the Navy then when this was aired. only heard it now, all these years later. Was always a CDB fan, didn't know this existed.

THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE.GEORGE JONES WAS RIGHT.WHOS GOING TO FILL THERE SHOES

Thank you for posting. So easy to forget about talent when listening to vulgar hip hop, etc..

August 7th Charlie played Red rocks. Just write at a week after the Letterman show. I met Charlie & the band. And remained friends from that day until the end. Rest in peace Tommy,Taz& Charlie.

Been wanting to see this for forever. I'm a big CDB fan. Met him many times backstage. Two of my favorite homeboys chillin' out.

I will miss him always . Yes Dave too

I was 3 when this was on tv. I am so happy to be able to watch this. I met him once and thought he was out of this world extraordinary !!!!

An American Icon....RIP Charlie Daniels

Charlie Daniels contributed so much to American Music. A true patriot and legend. Please keep posting these beautiful performances.

Oh my goodness that is THE BEST SOLO ACT PERFORMANCE I have ever expereienced EVER

Love Wyoming beautiful place to live and work

But I've just got to be there in the fall. I keep thinking bout the "Daddy of Them All". A perfect line from a great song performed by a Legend. No disrespect to the Cheyenne Frontier Days, I competed there myself but CD is also the "Daddy of Them All". RIP nobody did it better.

Noone else like him....we miss ya

Letterman's first dip. Priceless HaHaHa. I never met anyone more cool than Charlie. When my friends and I were in high school we signed up to do wild steer racing at The Charlie Daniels Twin Pines Ranch Ropeoff in Murfreesboro TN. When we went up to get our numbers Charlie asked us where our parental consent forms were. We told him we had not been informed we needed them. He handed us forms and one of our crew started to say our parents weren't there. Charlie cut him off mid sentence. He said " I just need a signature on the form. I am not going to follow you to the parking lot to see who signs it. " I thought that was the coolest. Twin Pines Ranch wasn't far from the house. He had a Paint stallion that was black and white spotted. I had a mare that looked just like him. I took her by there and he asked me to price her. I told him that she was a member of the family and had no price. He offered free stud service and we tried every year but never had a foal. I would have given it to him if we had. He was so approachable and down to earth. He sold the ranch a few years before his demise and we lost touch. Rock Hard Charlie. Rest in peace.

WOW I've never seen this what a great singer 👏 great song 🎵 he will be missed 😢

I met Charlie in Memphis TN at a fair. He was very kind and talk to me. Very nice man. Humble. 💐

I remember watching this when it was on. Thanks for everything Charlie. A lifetime of music.❤

Thank you for this, I'd forgotten just how warm and comfortable his actual singing voice was. After years of "South's Gonna Do It", "In America", and "Devil Went Down To Georgia", this was truly beautiful.

This man is one of the great story tellers...Trudy is an amazing song

I saw Charlie play with Marshall Tucker in 1976 , in Columbia SC . Never forget it , lost our car , had to ride around next morning to find it ..

He was so awesome.. 😭😭 My dad always shaped his cowboy hats just like that back in the day 🥰

What a natural talent this man was. Simply amazing.

Man, what an effortless performance. He was great!

Love this song and charlie

3 years ago today Charlie Daniels was called home and is missed by not only his family, band members, friends, but also by his fans and the music industry. He was such a great man and so down to earth. Miss you Mr Charlie

He is the coolest, I miss him.

Beautiful song and lyrics .love songs that you can feel in your heart ,brings a tear to my eyes

I had never heard that song. “Wyoming on My Mind” is beautiful. Charlie Daniels was a great man of God.

just a mere thirty eight years ago ... love it -- this right here is the essence of Charlie Daniels == great interview awesome song!

I was 18 when this show aired. I didn't get to watch it then. I was in Oklahoma, at Ft Sill, at the reception center. I'd been there for 3 days. The next day I'd get on a bus and be taken to my barracks, to start my 1st day of Army basic training. I've listened to Mr Daniels for many years. Thanks Charlie for all the great music you have made. Go easy Brother.

Thanx for posting

Charlie is who he is unashamed, just like all of us from the South he's our hero! RIP Charlie thanks for sending me the Birthday pic on my birthday this year.

My group opened for Mr. Daniels back in1979...we opened at the Triad Arena in Greensboro NC...Nazareth was second in the line up!

What a beautiful song

RIP Charlie. What a beautiful song.

This tore me up. Please watch after him Jesus...

70's and early 80's was the best of times

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Haven't watched this for a while. We miss you, you know that don't you?💋😞 OH MY DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN..... THAT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL! WASN'T IT? TRUE BLUE CDB FAN HERE SINCE, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW LONG. I FOUND THIS VIDEO AS WE LEARNED CHARLIE HAD PASSED. IT WAS VERY HARD TO LOSE HIM. THAT'S WHY LEGENDS WERE INVENTID!❤💋🙏#🤠neverforgotten

Truly one of a kind. Charlie, thanks for everything you will be missed .

What a treasure this performance is. Godspeed Charlie...we'll miss your soapbox posts,but we Will have your writings and songs to keep.you close..

I saw CDB live several times and in 1987, I worked off duty at the Celebrity Theatre at one of his shows. I met Taz before he went on and Carlie after the show because the manager found out I was a fan. I still have the picture he signed for me. What a gentleman and patriot. We aren’t as good as when he was here.

Damn we was so good! What a legend!

So glad these have been documented and posted.

That was awesome . RIP Charlie 😢

I got to see him at Volunteer Jam. No way I can remember what years, we threw down pretty hard back then.

Oh Charlie, I miss you. This is a beautiful song. Indeed, we lost a Golden Child when we lost Charlie too soon.

WYO does love Charlie. Saw him at the last CFD appearance. Amazing singer, songwriter and man. Our prayers goes out the the CDB family. God bless.

RIP Charlie Daniels (October 28, 1936 - July 6, 2020), aged 83 You will be remembered as a legend.

He resonates the entire universe! I have no words to express how great this man is. He is the Man!

I grew up in Mt. Juliet Tn. When I was in Junior High in the early 80s CDB would play a free concert a few weeks before school year ended in gym at 10a in the morning. Just us kids and school staff. I will never forget how kind he was to us pimple faced kids. A hometown hero. RIP sir.

He taught me how to make all the red lights turn green and it still works today and that was back in 97 98 something he was such a beautiful man he had to hide it with the glasses and that big scary beard.
