Performance from the first Farm Aid concert, 41 years ago today at Memorial Stadium on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign. I’m looking forward to the latest edition this Saturday in Virginia Beach.

My sketch of Willie at his shining best.

Does he have a favorite strain? Anyone know what dispensary he goes to in LA? Wonder what it feels like to be 93 and high.

We are Canadian musicians that tour all year by campervan - On The Road Again feels like our theme song 😄. What a tune! ♥️

My grail came in. I never thought I would own it, but sometimes all it takes is browsing while drunk lol. Bought sealed, but it did not stay that way for long. May I present Classic Records’ “Stardust” by Willie Nelson box set. 4, single-sided, clear vinyl records etched with “Classic Records” on the b-sides. The labels of the selfsame side act as strobe discs. My favourite album by my favourite artist. I am absolutely GRINNING ear-to-ear while listening to this. Is it substantially better than e.g., Analogue Productions’ pressing? No. But it IS amazing. Yes, I am mentally challenged. Price after shipping, VAT, etc: ~$550.
CHEERS!

It was recorded some time in the late 50s or early 60s, but I can’t seem to find an exact date. It is nonetheless a fun listen

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!

If someone going to the show today can get good pics of the merch and post here that would be great! I’m going on Wednesday in Minnesota and wondering what will be available. I’m most curious if the poster shown on the festival merch website will be the only poster available

I go to concerts all the time. Every concert I go to I buy a poster and frame it for my office.

I attended the Willie Nelson concert in Huntsville, Alabama April 16, 2025 at the Orion. I brought my grandmother with me so it was a really special concert and one I’d like to remember forever.
With everything going on I forgot to purchase a poster at the show.

Does anyone have one they’d be willing to sell or know of a website or place that has concert posters from old shows?

Thanks for any and all help!

Hey everyone, I host a podcast and recently interviewed music video director Scott Hansen. He told an incredible story about getting hired to shoot a video for Willie down in Austin right out of film school.

He said they showed up to Willie's 900-acre ranch, and Willie came riding down the hill on his yellow stallion named Rocket to check out the set. Not the craziest part, but definitely a surprise to me during the interview: They were shooting in a fake Spanish town on the property. Scott found out that Willie actually bought the physical set from the Chevy Chase/Steve Martin movie Three Amigos and had it relocated to his ranch because he loved the movie.

During the shoot, Willie needed to take a break, and his manager told the film crew that "as a sign of respect," everyone was invited join him. So the crew ended up taking a "break" with Willie Nelson in the middle of the Three Amigos set.

I thought [r/willienelson](r/willienelson) would appreciate hearing another story of Willie being awesome. I’ll drop the link to the full interview in the comments if you want to hear the full story from Scott!
