What else can I say about Willie Nelson? I love that raggedly, pot smoking old man. Willie Nelson writes songs like a drunken poet, plays them like they are the greatest music ever written (and sometimes they are) and sings them like they’ve never been sung before. Live he is the consummate showman filling in the time allotted like he has to fit in every song he’s ever known. His concerts make like some manic medley. Likely it won’t be the greatest concert you’ve ever seen, yet likely it will be something you’ll never forget.

The sound here is really nice, and the playing is spot on Willie. Good times!
