US Festival '83, Glen Helen Regional Park, San Bernardino, CA, 6-4-1983 - Day 4, Part 2: Waylon Jennings

The second act that I have from Day Four (Country Day) of the 1983 US Festival is set by Waylon Jennings.

Waylon Jennings is one of the biggest legends in the history of country music. No doubt he and another music legend, Willie Nelson, were the main draws for Country Day. 

Jennings had a long music career (he died in 2002), which I won't attempt to summarize here. But I'll note that from about 1975 to 1982, he was at his commercial peak, with his albums typically hitting Number One on the country charts, or at least getting very close. But as the 1980s went on, country radio changed, and didn't play older artists like him as much as they used to. At the time of this festival, he was one week away from releasing another album, called "It's Only Rock and Roll." The lead single, "Lucille" (a cover of the 1950s classic), would make it to Number One on the country charts, his twelfth to top the charts. But he would only have one more chart topping song after that, in 1987. He would later say he wasn't feeling musically inspired at this point in his life.

Here's his Wikipedia entry if you want to know more:

Waylon Jennings - Wikipedia

Jennings married Jessi Colter in 1969, and they stayed married until he died in 2002. She became a country star in her own right. During this set, they performed a duet on the song "Storms Never Last." But that appears to have been only involvement with the US Festival, though I'm sure she was popular enough to have done a set on her own.

Technically, this set has been officially released as the album "Live at the US Festival, 1983." But it's such a rare album that I couldn't find it anywhere. Instead, I found a YouTube video and converted that into mp3s. The sound quality is excellent.

This album is an hour and two minutes long.

I had the same situation with the cover art as with the other acts on this day. I couldn't find any photos, so I used a screenshot from a YouTube video for the cover photo.

UPDATE: On October 6, 2024, I upgraded the photo with the use of the Krea AI program.
