      My wife, at the time!! , had the chance of comp tickets from her work. She turned them down, I never forgave her for that mistake! Funnily enough she made bigger mistakes later which she was forgiven but not this one....

    Willie's guitar solo @ 2:57 is the game-changer here, just masterful and Kristofferson backs off knowing that Willie is in charge, taking his song to a higher level. Willie hears sounds that others don't and has the gift of sharing those sounds through the guitar and his distinct phrasing. An awesome demonstration here for all of us who pick and sing and maybe write a bit. And KK is delighted to hear his song interpreted so well, transforming it really.

  • @independentmusicguy
    @independentmusicguy Před 2 lety +24

    Willie Nelson's guitar playing is coarse, untrained, rough, and more brilliant than the work of anyone with a PhD in music or the most accomplished trained performers. It is a force of nature made even more wonderful played on that antique nylon string guitar. It is perfect.

Listening to this number of Willie's is easy, soothing and relaxing, probably the easiest feeling I'll have all day long today!
    (Kris Kristofferson is a great songwriter (he wrote this song) and singer in his own right, so nice to see and hear them working together!) Willie is about 87 now, and STILL touring, still at it, bless him for giving us so many years of pleasure!

    Couldn't agree anymore. My dad "taped" this concert when it was first broadcast 20 years ago. He played it time and time and time again and I grew to love it. I miss my dad and I cant believe i have came across it on youtube. A huge thanks to tomscotland for putting this up. Angel flying to close was his fav. x

    When singers didn't need autotunes and effects like some today's "country" artists. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and (last but not least) the late Johnny Cash! The Mt Rushmore of country music.

      Ya forgot a few. Don Williams, Patsy Cline, well, there are too many to name. But I agree. Without autotune, light shows, monster bands many of today's "artists" would be lost. Even today though we have Chris Stapleton, not only a great singer but a guitarist right up there with Willie. And they SAY Randy Travis is improving by leaps and bounds. But like you I miss the days when EVERY performer had to actually be worth his salt. Too many now aren't.

    How wonderful to see his guitar in all it's glory. You could spend a fortune and still your guitar would never sound as raw and as exquisite as this instrument does. I'll bet that it has many a story etched into the scarred, scratched and gouged marks that are the honest beauty of this gorgeous piece of history. Of course anyone else just couldn't make it sing like Willie did. Thanks for posting this video. Just lovely.

    On an autumn morning in Bowling Green Kentucky I was having breakfast at the Holiday Inn. I was working for a one hit wonder called Starbuck. I sat looking out at the morning unfold when a voice asked, "Can I join you?" I said sure thinking it was one of the Starbuck crew or band. Willie Nelson sat down and we had breakfast. What a super great human!
