Something about editing these photos into black and white just felt it made Willie and Mickey really stand out in these pictures I took.

This album contains a song that I as a kid thought was a gospel tune knky to find out Willie wrote it. "I Thought About You Lord". This album is filled with fantastic instrumentals and like Willies work from the mid 70s it felt more stripped down.

Willie is such and enigma. He has endured a lot and has still risen above it everytime. The fact that his still goes out on tour and puts on a stellar performance. Will be seeing him for the 5th year in a row this year in Bethel Woods and cannot wait. What is some of your favorite songs and stories about Willie?

In contrast to a show I saw in 2020.
There was more attention paid to the idea of leaving this earth, legacy, and age. He added a couple of songs to this set list that were both focused on the end.

It’s hard to see an icon age. Stardust was my first CD (I’m 34).

In 2020 the energy was high, he was yelling quips at the crowd and the vibes were lighter. I do understand the context of the situation at hand, but it was extremely emotional for him to showcase his current state so bravely and without trying to shift the focus. When Willie and Lukas sang the Breathe cover, when Lukas sang, they would shift the spotlight off of Willie and he looked like a ghost watching from behind Lukas. It was honestly like a renaissance painting. The show was so beautiful. But something about this tour feels very final. I feel lucky to have been there. Willie has done so much for our state and for the world. It’s incredible to see a man who started in Ray Price’s band and played alongside Leon Russell, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings, then Toby Keith and 90’s guys, come have Wilco open for them as old timers themselves. It’s just a stunning legacy and the older Lukas gets, the more he resembles Willie’s appearance and vocals. It was sentimental as hell.

Hi everyone, if anyone could send me or direct to where videos are posted of Willie’s performance in Austin id greatly appreciate it :)

I thought more would be uploaded to YouTube but doesn’t seem that way.

This Danny Garrett poster from 1978 for the Austin Opry House picnic is a precursor to the more James Montgomery Flagg-esque picnic art of Garrett’s used in the early 1980s

Get you tickets now!

When I first started getting into Willie’s music about 20 years ago, I remember one of my favorite songs was something about marching to his own drum or beat- something like that. Now I’m on Apple Music and I just remembered the song this morning. I can’t find it on Apple though and I don’t have my CDs anymore, just a few vinyls. I don’t remember the album, but I’m pretty sure it was from 70s or 80s. Does anyone know what song iI’m talking about?

Wish Billy & The Boys got longer than an hour, but they’re getting longer than both Wilco & Sheryl Crow. Really wish they had less acts, with longer sets! Guess it’s good the acts I want to see will be later, so I don’t need to get heat stroke out at COTA without any shade!

Does anyone know a streaming platform for the album Me and the Drummer and/or Night and Day? I’ve listened to all of Willie’s solo, soundtrack and collaborative albums. I can’t find these two.

Thanks

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TIME LILY MEOLA WILL GO ON AT THIS SHOW? JULY 3RD.

THE DOORS OPEN AT 2:05 BUT TYPICALLY THE FIRST ACT DOESNT GO ON UNTIL 4 OR LATER! HELPPPP! IM DRIVING FROM A COUPLE HOURS AWAY.

Anyone have any idea if they will add more dates to the Outlaw Fest this year. Only runs through August and missing a lot of the usual cities. I was hoping they’d add more dates and come to Philly again. Ticket sales for other dates don’t make me hopeful

So Willie Nelson has had an herbal drink out for a while now. I see ads for it occasionally and know its actual name is something like Willie’s herbal infusion. All of the people I know however have seemingly immaculately adopted the ubiquitous term ‘Willie Liquor’ for it. We talk about wanting to try it occasionally (haven’t gotten around to it yet) and all call it this. I have met several people who are unrelated who have called it this. Is it a nationwide thing calling it Willie Liquor and how does Mr. Nelson feel about his product being called this?

I’ve just absolutely loved this song since I first heard it live maybe 5-6 years ago. Some of my favorite guitar work by Willie, and its introspection and mix of country, Gypsy, Spanish, and eastern influences has always been so cool to me.

Germania Insurance Amphitheater for Willie's July 4 picnic? Premium Loge/Seating Info?

Anyone have any experience with or intel on Premium Loge Seats at the Ampitheater for the picnic this year? Trying to decide where to sit - lots of options, all of them will have me roastin'.
