Who is still listening in 2024

Why the hell david is never mentioned in the same breath as cash or haggard or jones is wrong. This man is a legend

“My long hair just can’t cover up my redneck” hits me in the feels

This man is one of the greatest song writers of our time.

He was an outlaw that wouldn't confirm to the Bullshit of Nashville. He spent most of his adult life in and out of prison. He was definitely a one in a million talent for sure. I love his music. God bless David Allen Coe

The only country music superstar that actually took time to have a conversation with me. He was just standing in the crowd before the show. I walked up, introduced myself and my wife, asked him about the inspiration for some of his songs. I then told him I was looking for a record (Jimmy Buffett doesn't live in Key West anymore). He showed me where I could find it. Shook my hand and walked on to the next fan.

DAC is world famous but still hasn't gotten the credit he deserves. He is on a level with the greatest country song writers of all time. He never backed off or made excuses for his history and that made the big boys in the music business afraid of him. It made the fans love him more. He is the original and true outlaw who , more than likely, inspired the entire country outlaw thing. As far as I know it was only DAC/HAG/PAYCHECK that actually did any time.

Been a fan for 50 years , have seen him live at least 20 times , hope to see him 20 more ! What's a biker without David Allen Coe and Bob Segar

I was lucky to see him perform 3 times over the years. True Country Rebel

I saw him when I was 16 and drinking in bars Tho X rated album God Bless him I'm 61.

Love these old singers man live or on track they sound exactly the same! Just pure talent in them no technology crap!

Is there such a thing as hard core country? If so, this is it..

I love his music! His personal life is what it is. Country music spans the lives of every walk of life from what some people feel is the lowest to the highest life form. That is the beauty of it. I can usually find something that every artist has done to like, and of course many more for some artists like this guy! He is a legend!

DAC Did it his way!!! Never sold out to anyone. Still the rhinestone cowboy. And if that ain’t country... well you know what you can do

One of the best a true OUTLAW not only did he sing it he lived it!

My brother first played DAC to me at his home in London. I laughed until I ached. Now back home in Australia I play him to who ever will listen. Ya gotta love this guy.

Just wonderful, I thank my dad for thrashing his record when I was a kid,i think i'm starting to truly appreciate the greatness of Merle..,David Alan Coe!🔥🍻

Almost 40 years later, I seem to be more moving to this song than the crowd back then. Love DAC

Dammit he was a killer live during this era. What a frikkin performance. Goosebumps

Great singer/song writer some of the greatest country music of all time..Why isn't he in the Country Music Hall of Fame??????

I love the older country music nobody cant beat the older music

Been listening to this music for over forty years still love DAC.

Been a fan forever and was blessed to be able to hang out with him in Deadwood S.D. He's definitely the real deal.

Me and my wife saw him in Hope , Arkansas at the Sundowner club . Him and his band were awesome!!! That was in 2000. I've never seen a better concert at the big stadiums I've been to.

I saw him in Baton Rouge LA about this time. His early albums were so GREAT GREAT GREAT - I wore them all out !!!! This looks like the outfit he wore back then. I really loved him back then - not in more recent years. not the same.

Best music video I've seen in at least 30 years.

I love how DAC switches up his lines when you see him live.

This is such a great song. Authentic in every way.

He sang what he believe, and what he lived.. that could be anyone of us, ,, except he put it down cooool!!!

Absolute best rendition of this song.

Love this singer. So original, nothing fake about him . ❤️

This was REAL country music not pretty boy crap and this is the type of music I miss

Was just listening to his music from cd and thought to myself i wonder if there's much of his stuff on youtube. pleasantly surprised and even more so to see this old vid

my favorite country song of all time

I remember being in some little ratty Okie town for a rodeo in the early 70s when this song and Up Against the Wall was popular and DAC was drinking and singing in the dive we roamed in since was stuck overnight

he is one tweaked up rejected country star, that is for sure, and one of my favorites . The last concert I went to was at the diamond ballroom between moore and oklahoma city and del city area, off of eastern ave

MAKES ME SMILE WHEN I HEAR DAVID ALLEN COES SONGS.

I've seen him twice the first time in early 9th he was way to drunk .but a few years ago I seen him and he was real good I will always love his music definitely one of the great under rated country stars

Deep south outlaws...we still out here! I went and saw Squench the other day on DAC cove in Jackson, MS. Real Mississippi shit. Look it up. Love you DAC.

I'm not even a real country music fan but I love this guy. Or maybe this is REAL country music & I'm not a pop country music fan? Either way I love this guy. I remember coming in late one night. His bus was parked on the street. I wanted to go meet him but didn't want to disturb him. I didn't even know he was in town. Still probably a good call not fuckin around that bus.

Tops this ole boy so under appreciated cry in that voice very few can give so much emotion can you make folks cry when you pick and sing

The ever constant song rider thank God I got to hear his songs.

Well I just got a call from David's and my 15yr. old daughter uspet what was said, here again I see why! Yeah he is an ex but I was only 16 when were married and only, I was pregnant within 2 months, and "Look, we are still very close, please think of people like kid's when you write your ugly comments, as I don't have 1 bad thing to say about the man and I sure have a beautiful daughter thanks partly to him and how many of ya'll's ex's would say that"? yes I believe the age difference was just a # to me! He is a perfection with his work and for many years David did it all,bookings, management , writing and entertains by giving all of himself to his shows. He's done something right as he has many millions of fan's! That's to all the good comments..

I first heard this when a friend played it for me (back when I was in HS... in the 80s) I thought it was the funniest freaking song I'd ever heard but, laughs aside, I thought it was great. Still chuckle a bit when I sing along "laughing at the hippies who are praying they'll get out of here alive"

I respect ANY man who lets' me know where he stands. -Even if he is wrong- Nothin' worse than an asshole who plays the sheep and ain't nothing but a devil! Love David A Coe!!!!

Rex Bell, Don't call him a shell of a man , he is THE MAN

I also saw during a hurricane while living in Houston Texass , my1st wife and I were only 2 of about 14 that braved the weather and showed up ! Was the best up close and personal show I have ever been to ! I'll be a fan til the day I die and beyond if possible !

I sure wish I'd gone to see that cat at the Armadlllo Palace in the "Classic City" in the 70s. I was in the Corner Salon next door quite often. ...a friggin' Checkers there now; and Corner Salon was an old stone building

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO CHEAT THAT IS TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC

Love his songs and thought he sang them awesomely.

True fucking king of country.. Lay me down some rails, the real rhinestone cowboy DAVID ALLEN COE!!

Thanks for sharing this!

Loudmouth in the corner is gettin to me. This is a great song 😄

Great live version from the year I was born.

WOW pure awesome

Such a cool song

I performed a lot of his songs and still do.

LONG LIVE THIS LEGEND !

Awesome! can't remember where i was in '74

The greatest country singer to ever do it

I've seen him play twice. The last time was two days ago and it was sad. A shell of a man sitting down struggling through some songs. I will always love his music but wouldn't wish him live on anyone.

Oh my goodness! I remember this!,,,,,,

can you say COCAINE! Wow dude looks wacked out. The most under rated country star, he was one of the best!

One of the greatest "Outlaw" C&W artists ever.... Truly has earned his place in the Hall of Fame....

Love this ❤️

DAC....country really doesn't get any better than that. I know how he feels "...I've won every fight I've ever fought...." and there's been a few (from prison in Glasgow to well......). Keep them coming please DAC forever xx I first heard him sing Fuzzy and loved his music ever since.

So good!

a true Rebel by every measurement

Coe all dressed in his best KISS getup here.

Miss those Ft Hood Bars in Killen Tx, about 1990-1991, and hearing this song . 8 females for every dude , because all the dudes were over in the sand box. Much appreciated.

thx for this.

seen him live a few times, always a good show, need to see if he is still touring, maybe go raise some hell

Tremendous song.

God bless you mr. David allan coe

awesome!

I remember feeling like he looks. Damn good times.......

Crazy how this is will be 50 years old the old America is gone god bless the good old boys

The Tennessee Hat Band was the best.

his early life was terrible. messed him up something awful. but he overcame and became quite successful. very inspirational. the only one I know of that had it as bad or maybe worse would be Billy Joe Shaver also an excellent songwriter.

they don't make em like this anymore

Love this video, the look in his eyes man, somethin goun in there

I saw him live at Ionia Speedway in MI around 2013 give or take a couple of years ..

Great stuff

I think I’ve watched this exact video 537 times.

every since 75 . I have loved DAC !!!!!!!!!

If there is ever an air of mystery and intrigue around a Rock Icon it is around the artist known as Roderiguez.

HES IN HIS 70'S MAN>LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT! I'M 61 AND ALMOST DEAD FROM CANCER> I LOOK REALLY BAD.

Perfect, there is nothing else to be said.

His outfit is awesome...

The beginning of hellbilly and punk country. True outlaw country.

Great audio! But just like me sittin' at a bar- cut off toward the end...

best country voice of all time.

favorite

NICE!!!!! He's got his "amazing rhinestone cowboy" get-up on!!! well everything except the sparkly mask that went with it........ thanks for posting btw (even if David censored himself lol)

FUCKING AWESOME

Top 5 all time. You know its true

Where and why has this music gone? 😥

I kinda want to be in a old movie..ha. This is a cozy performance. I was 12 years old when this was played I guess. I remember now. My mom slapped me. Ha. A disguared memory. But still good song story. Thanks.

This is the real country outlaw.

Continuing this legacy
