Anyone watching the Willie 90th birthday show?

I missed it, except for the first few (up thru half of Chris Stapleton).  I had DVRed 60 minutes but let it run long.  No other episodes set to run, either.  

Beck was impressive.  So was Stapleton.  Sheryl Crow has balls of steel to sing "Crazy".  She did well, though.

Watched it with the old lady last night. 
 

Beck was surprisingly good. 
 

Dave Matthews rearrangement was enjoyable.  His story was funny. 
 

Stapleton was vanilla.  
 

Lukas has an astoundingly clear voice and is a good musician.  

Jamey Johnson is Jamey Johnson.   He don’t give a shit.  
 

Warren Haynes is a monster guitarist. 

The rest were meh although good to see Keef up and around.  Rosanne and Kris was heartbreaking.

Billy Strings has a very punchable face.
Dude's got talent for sure, but he's like nice-fitting slacks that leave you with chafed balls.

So wrong

Who is the guitarist in that backing band.  Not   Tom Bukovac but the strat player.  I've seen him in several shows when Don Was was the music coordinator but no idea who it is.   Only bad thing about Willie's show was it was done in LA and all of the Hollywood types announcing acts.  Did see Neuheisel in the crowd.    I recorded the last hour so hopefully, they will at least list the credits of the band.  

Also, I was watching that shit show CMA Country Christmas and Harmoni Kelley was playing bass in that band.  So happy for her.    Assholes didn't run the credits at the end or introduce the band.

For some reason she reached out to me via Facebook a few years back.  She's in Kenny Chesney's band, right?

Please tell me your reply was...

Unless she was looking for a married sugar daddy some 15 years her senior, I'm inclined to believe it was just about friends in common.

Yep.  She has been touring with him for awhile.

The fucking Dixie Chicks look like Wilson Phillips, except the fat one in Wilson Phillips didn't have a stupid hairstyle.

She does...if you just hold on!

Tench and Bukovac works for me...missed the intro & had no idea who the singer with the prop guitar was but Beck did a passable job. Great song. 

Chris Stapleton?  He's a great player, it seems like he just decided not to play that night.

Man this is unreal.  Roseanne & Kris -- holy shit, that brought major tears.  What a man.  What a woman.

It's nice to see Gary Clark Jr. firmly in that upper echelon of players in terms of recognition.  His "Texas Flood" was a little more Jimmie than Stevie.  Cool song choice.

Jamey Johnson crushed it on "Georgia On My Mind".  I even liked Dave Matthews, which is not something you'll see me cop to often.

When Lukas opens his mouth to sing, even though we know what's coming . . . double holy shit!  Apples, trees.  Just astonishing.

Still, they should have gotten Bruce Robison to do What Would Willie Do.    That is a better, more clever song than "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me" and "Sing One With Willie".  But at least he got Charley on there.

The full show is also available on Apple music. Gave most of it a listen yesterday.

I noticed that too, seemed unusual for him.
