Hard to believe that I’ve been working on this blog for over a year and haven’t gotten around to posting any Willie Nelson. Willie is more than a country music legend -- he has become an American icon. A driving force behind Farm Aid, Willie has performed alongside such rock legends as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp. I saw Willie on September 2, 1978 at Giants Stadium when he led in for the Grateful Dead at their last concert before heading off to Egypt to play the Pyramids. Willie was supposed to play alongside Waylon Jennings, but Waylon no-showed! That didn’t stop Willie from playing a set of his classics, including my favorite, Whiskey River. In any event, while Willie didn’t have a partner that September day in 1978, this soundboard recording from Willie’s from December 12, 1997, 15 years ago today, makes up for it. Willie is joined by Merle Haggard for this show, another country music legend who also has had a tremendous influence on rock and roll (The Grateful Dead, for example, have played Haggard’s Mama Tried and Sing Me Back Home in concert.) Like our last post, therefore, this one also features 2 legends on stage together, so you’ll definitely want to download it for your collection.

Hello My Friend. This is one of my favorite concerts by two of my all-time favorite artists. There is no way to thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. I can't wait for more vintage country concerts one of these days. All the best to you.
