(5 out of 5 stars)
"I already had the 1 hour WAYLON JENNINGS documentary, but the expanded running time on this DVD caught my eye, so I took a chance and ordered it. I'm so grateful that I did, because the bonus feature here is "THE LOST OUTLAW PERFORMANCE". I've been waiting and hoping for this great concert video to come out on DVD. It's a complete Waylon show from 1978 at the Grand Ole Opry !! Waylon is at his peak in this performance, and the show's songlist is a fan's dream come true !! There are no cutaways, no interviews, no annoying distractions - just a superb concert by a legend!! It's on this DVD, complete and in beautiful sound and picture quality !!"

"If I was not limited to 5 stars I would give this DVD a definite ten!.Words are inadequate to describe how enjoyable this DVD was.I highly recommend it to all Waylon Jennings fans and to those who may not have been turned on to him yet.He truly paved the way for all artists in the music business.I would not be surprised if I looked up the word "legend" in the dictionary and found a picture of Waylon there to greet me.I am only saddened by the thought that one member of the Highwaymen is gone with his passing."

"Learned to play bass in a week to play in his friend, Buddy Holly's, band; brought to Nashville by Bobby Bare; produced by Chet Atkins; roommates with Johnny Cash; billed in front of Willie Nelson; leaves Nashville and revolutionizes country music and the way the music is produced.....Its Waylon and its all here. The DVD is worth the money with either part but together its a must buy for any country music or rock-a-billy fan. JUST BUY IT"
THIS DVD IS GREAT

"Based on the cheesy cover, upon receiving this DVD I thought to myself "What have I wasted my money on now!" But as the old saying goes, you can never judge a book (DVD) buy it cover. In this DVD Waymo tells his unbelievable story of country music success. This DVD also has a concert from August 12, 1978. However, not in Dolby or DTS, the audio doesn't sound that bad. Here are the songs, since Amazon doesn't list them. 1. Are you ready for the country 2. Lonesome on'ry and mean 3. Waymore's Blues 4. Amanda 5. A long time ago 6. Jack of diamonds 7. Tonight the bottle let me down 8. This time 9. Just because you asked me to 10. I've always been crazy 11. Don't you think this outlaw bits don't got out of hand 12. Good hearted woman 13. Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 14. Luckenbach, Texas 15. Honky tonk heroes 16. Are you sure hank done it this way."
Put on your stompin' shoes...
