Willie Nelson is one of the most successful country music singer-songwriters in history, releasing 68 studio albums and 10 live albums. He wrote his first song at the age of seven and joined his first band at ten, playing concerts as a lead singer and guitar player while still in high school. He spent the ‘50s and ‘60s writing songs for established acts such as Ray Price and Patsy Cline, as well as releasing a string of albums on Liberty and RCA beginning with his debut …And Then I Wrote in 1962. In 1973, he signed to Atlantic Records and put out Shotgun Willie, which veered into outlaw country, a stark contrast from the mainstream Nashville sound and clean-cut country artists of the era. 1975’s Red Headed Stranger and 1978’s Stardust followed on Columbia Records, both garnering commercial and critical success. The ‘80s saw the release of No. 1 albums Honeysuckle Rose, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Always on My Mind, and The Promiseland, as well as Nelson joining Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson in the country supergroup The Highwaymen, touring and releasing three studio albums between 1985 and 1995. Nelson continues to release a new album almost every year and delight ticket buyers in live shows to this day.
Great performance from a living legend. His vocals are not what they were, but a privilege to witness a living legend. Entertaining show of just over an hour in length.
Love the venue. Totally enjoyed Willie. Marshall Tucker opening up for him was a real treat as well.
First, we had really good seats so we could see Willie and his band mates very closely and enjoyed every minute of the show. Willie was out there the whole time and was involved in every song. It was amazing to see an icon so closely and to hear the sweet music and his voice in person. It was an amazing show, in my top 10 for sure. Thank you Willie & Friends!
Asleep at the Wheel opened the show playing good old Western swing, which was just great! The break between acts wasn’t so very long at all. And Willie came on. I don’t think I stopped smiling once! His performance is a treasure I will hold in my heart forever. If there is anything I could change it would be to be able to hold a real paper ticket in my hand as of yore, to put the stub in my scrapbook as I have since 1964!
Wonderful show from the beginning to the end. Asleep at the Wheel was a fantastic opening act. Those who waited to arrive until the set was well underway missed a great performance. The ushers were great-helpful and cheerful. Even the ticket checkers were very pleasant.
Excellent show. Lights, sound and stage were all well coordinated. Plenty of visible security. Thoughts could be given about concession stands to minimize the very long lines of spectators trying to buy food and or drinks within a reasonable amonut of time.
An amazing performance by a true legend (including awesome supporting opener- Asleep At The Wheel). My first time back at the Greek for this season- one of my favorite venues anywhere. This was a seated show and perhaps a good thing with the median age of attendees being perhaps 68. I've been going to the Greek for over 3 decades so I knew to dress warmly and to be prepared to deal with the stairways in the amphitheater which have big concrete steps with no handrails- but many, many people in the is older crowd did not seem prepared and did well with navigating the stairs. (Pro Tip- if you're not steady on your feet and have 'seats' that are higher than row 8, consider using the steps OUTSIDE the bowl which are smaller and have handrails and entering the bowl from the top to get to the seats- and if you can't deal with stairs at all check to see if you qualify for ADA seating)
The concert was fun and glad to hear Willie. His voice is a little intermittent during the song but he can still belt it out. Only concern was the venue. As lovely as the Greek theater can be it is not conducive for an older crowd with assistive devices and mobility issues. Should tailor the venue to the crowd.
You will never go wrong seeing a living Legend. Willie had a great nite with everyone on their feet! I was just happy to be in his presence listening to my favorite songs. Asleep at the Wherl was icing on the cake.
Too hard to get to cement seatS at greek theahtre in the round
