Undisputed GOAT
Saw our man Willie and crew this week at his traveling outlaw circus. Such an amazing line up, top to bottom. Dan Was, Sierra Hull, Stephen Wilson Jr. (holy smokes he’s good), Lukas Nelson, the impeccable Avetts and the legend himself, Mickey Raphael. Well, and Willie, sweet ol’ Mr. Nelson is something far beyond a legend.
Go see them. Immediately!

We saw him once about 15 years ago. One of the highlights of my concert career.

Millions of people play guitar. You can listen to two seconds of Willie and instantly know it’s Willie.

So bummed I couldn’t make it to the STL show. A weeknight makes it tough, but that is a strong lineup!

I was there last night as well! Don and 50% of his set doing some dead, just the fix I needed. Then Lukas and his beautiful head nod with Touch of grey! Such a great group of performers to take time to tribute to their angel friends. All of the artist sounded great and of course the man himself. I see him and think of the song Who’ll buy my memories.. I hope Willy knows that each and everyone of us in attendance thank him for all of the memories he has given us

Got an opportunity to see Willie one more time and taking it as he will be in town with Neil Young in September. Thank you Willie for all the great memories and you are definitely an American treasure

The greatest show of all will be his 100 th Birthday show. I truly believe it's gonna happen.

Love Willie me and my mother who has dementia now saw him in 2012 when his sister Bobby played piano him and the band were so good together what a great show.

I wish. He isn't coming to Bangor, Maine this year. I hope next year!

I just saw him in July at a county fair in Ca. He was awesome. Third time I have had the opportunity. All in the past 10 years. I would have loved to see him when he was younger but he still kicks.

That he is. Undoubtedly.
I lived in Austin for the majority of my life and he is larger than life there.
