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.

Everything was awesome. On time and perfect. Great anniversary experience.
Amos lee opened He was good but a little too unplugged. Willie can still play and his voice sounds good especially given his age. His son Micah is really good and it’s clear the band carries him through most of the show. Only really played one classic (on the road again ) so would have liked more of those like line forever and even some of the great covers he’s recorded (songbird, breathe, for real , time slips away). But I’m glad i saw him and it is pretty amazing what he can still do!
Willie Nelson continued to amaze!! This is the fourth time I've seen him and he never disappoints. I hope he continues in good health and wows the world with his talent.
Willie was amazing! Even at 90 he still out on a hell of a show!
Show/entertainment was great! Moved right along, engaging... Parking was a problem, limited spaces for the large crowd
His voice is still great and powerful for his age of 91 Plays a mean tasteful guitar Great Band Great sound Great song selection must have played 25 3 minute great songs non stop a first class show and performance
The venue was accommodating to my husband’s handicapped needs. I felt safe in my surroundings and had an excellent time.
From the moment Wilie got on stage the audience was focused and either bobbing their heads to the music with some dancing on the sidelines. He and the band played his hits with Willie playing the notes on Trigger like the guitar was part of him. The venue had two large screens that mainly focused on him and how he sings and plays. For anyone who plays the guitar it was a treat to watch. They also allowed people to use their cameras to record a memory. The opening act was a young country female who sang about 7 songs with a few old time sing along classics. My only complaints are that the t-shirt I bought did not arrive so I had to buy a hat and headband but mostly the seating was too tight and uncomfortable with small metal chairs tied together with tie straps the people on either side of me complained about that also. Overall, his concert and players are fun to watch. They are energetic and you sense the love they have for the true legend.
Willy sounded good and kept up! The No Standing allowed?!?!? Unbelievable!
Beautiful evening-nice outdoor venue. Just long enough for us 65 year olds. Very laid back atmosphere. Willie and family did a great job-good variety of his songs.
Been a Willie Nelson fan more than 50 years! What’s not to love!
Willie's singing and playing is amazing for someone 90 years. I especially noticed his eye contact with fans. It was a beautiful night under the stars.
He out did himself. Sang song after song all of his favorites. Engaged with the crowd snd the harmonica player was one of the best I have ever heard. Was an outside venue. Dark, warm evening and the songs of Willie snd that beautiful harmonica wailing away. It’s a memory i will enjoy forever!!
Watched this 90 year old walk across the stage, pick up his guitar and sit down then immediately begin to sing!! For a good solid hour with no real breaks he entertained us! Best concert ever…. I would go again! My husband has a band and does karaoke as well and his favorite songs are Willie’s!!
Awesome show!! Great outdoor venue, weather was perfect. Seating was a little tight. Willie is a legend....so glad we got to see him live!!
Willie Nelson exceeded my expectations. I'm more in love with him and his music than ever. The tickets weren't cheap and the show was outside on a chilly night but it was more than worth it. So thankful to Willie for being on the road, still, and for the good luck that brought me there to enjoy every minute of it.
Great concert ! Sound system was perfect. Big screens and lighting added to the experience. Well organized entrance line moved quickly. Uncomfortable seating, packed in tighter than sardines !
The will call window was a little difficult and problems with wifi so had to use another phone to get ticket which was on Verizon instead of AT&T but got through and the clerk was very good helping everyone. It was a great concert.
Of course, any time you get to hear Willie Nelson and Family entertain it can't be all bad. The problem with this show was entirely on the venue. All seating is uncomfortable, small, plastic chairs, zip-tied together on the same level, so as soon as someone stands up your view is blocked. One would think the Seminole Casino could afford to build a better venue! In addition, it was a cool evening by Florida standards, so sitting in one place waiting for an hour for the show to start was somewhat uncomfortable. Yes, there was a warm-up act, but although she said she was a song-writer and vocalist, could not sing on key, nor could you understand her words...one would have expected better of a Willie Nelson show. Nevertheless, classic Willie Nelson, even at age 90, is always enjoyable and his sons and his friends are the future of his shows!
