With the combined record sales of the ensemble’s iconic members totaling more than 170 million records, The Highwaymen have been called “the Mt. Rushmore of Country music.” This 1990 concert was recorded at the famous arena in Hempstead, Long Island.

An essential musical and cultural influence, the Highwaymen were active for the decade spanning 1985 to 1995, recorded three major label albums, charted hit singles (including their Number 1 debut, “Highwayman,” which won the Best Country Song Grammy Award in 1986) and performed a variety of shows achieving mythic status for those lucky enough to have been there.

“There's the four of us standing there, grouped around microphones. The Highwaymen. John, Kris, Willie, and me. I don't think there are any other four people like us,” wrote Waylon Jennings in Waylon: An Autobiography. “John says that we came together because we all have a life commitment to the music. We know the same songs, but we sing them from different perspectives. We can blend the early country of the Carter Family with Texas swing, southern gospel, and rockabilly, and each of us feels comfortable singing real slices of life. There’s not one of us who hasn’t come face to face with his own mortality, and many’s the time we've gone through our struggles and survivals together. . . .That’s our friendship, unlocking any door that stands between us, and it keeps four very different individuals together."
