"This is a record Rascall Flatts, Kenny Chesney and all the rest of CMT's current parade of stars should listen to and ask themselves; "Am I even close?" And their fans might listen to as well and ask; "Where has this kind of country gone?" This was a record that mattered, this is a recording that captured what Outlaw Country really was. Instead of a singer looking for an audience, Waylon Jennings and his band were artists audiences were looking for. The first 5 tracks of this CD are worth the price of the entire 2 CD set as Waylon comes out of the gate electrified, in control and showing why he became the first country artist to sell millions, not thousands of records. Unlike today, he pays tribute to the roots of country music and the giants that went before, but then proves he is worthy to stand beside them. And he took his place among the giants by doing things his way, as the song says. Buy this CD, sit back and listen to greatness as Waylon and his band take you on every kind of twist and turn and twang the best of this kind of country had and still has, to offer."

Great live album!

"Really amazing double-live CD that captures the essence of Waylon Jennings. This is as good a live album as I think you will find in county or rock. Definitely worth the purchase for any fan of Waylon or rockin' live country music."
