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.
The whole show was awesome. I saw him 20+ years aga and this show was way better. He played for ove 2 1/2 hours straight. For 76 years old he can really ROCK. I'd see him again in a heartbeat.
He played all the favorites and then some. If you have a chance to see this show, take advantage of the opportunity.
After so many years of entertaining us all, Willie still has it. It was a great show. The Covelli Centre is a great place to see a show.
Willie Nelson had another excellent and amazing performance in Youngstown, Ohio; this time at the recently renamed Covelli Centre. The crowd was rockin' and they didn't bother knockin'; they just came on in!
willie has slowed down a little in his movements,but his talent and voice is as phenomenal as ever! The best part is he enjoys perfroming and loves the common people....kudos to willie and family!
I was a little disappointed however I dont think Willie was feeling good. He talked through his songs and he didnt come out for an encore? HIs throat must have been hurting him or something? However, I love Willie Nelson and I did see hiim jammin at another show a few years ago so if he is sick I would not let this stop me from seeing him again. I know he can put on a good show but that one just wasnt it!
He was wonderful! Started on time,did almost every song he has ever done!
The preformance was just OK! A little disappointing. We have been Willie fans all our lives. He talked a lot of the words to the songs, did not sing the notes. Love Willie but it is time to retire.!!!!!
My friend has wanted to see Willie forever-- it was a great show- good music, not too much talkin' in between -- a night to remember!
i can hardly believe a man of seventy five can play with such intensity for two hours. his voice was rich and strong and never wavered. also, since there is only one guitar player, he has to cover all the licks. he does this with ease. his seasoned backup band was relaxed and comfortable, and provided a polished performance without ever 'overplaying" the material. kudos to them all.
