Anyone watching the Willie 90th birthday show?

Got a little dusty with Rosanne Cash and Kris

[dcbc 14465]

This is great.  Also, never realized what Lukas Nelson brought to the table.  Impressive.

[dcbc 14465]

On the Road Again is making this room dusty.

[jimmyjazz 45880]

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.

[Gil Bang 25907]

It comes on here at 830 and I will be watching.  Meanwhile, it's "Rio Lobo"

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.

[Gil Bang 25907]

I fucking love Norah Jones, but honey, lay off the naan for a while and mix in a salad.

[Gil Bang 25907]

I don't care if she's cunty, I'd lick Sheryl Crow's butthole.

[Gil Bang 25907]

The drummer looks like a member of the Sinaloa cartel.

Fuck yeah she is.  

 

I adore that woman...I'm just surly-ing.   

[Gil Bang 25907]

Holy shit Natalie, it's time to ask your doctor if  Ozempic is right for you.

[Gil Bang 25907]

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

[Gil Bang 25907]

Ah fuck Kris.  You were one of the greats.  

[Gil Bang 25907]

Yeah, Lukas is Willie's boy.  No DNA test required. 

[Gil Bang 25907]

George Straight and Baba Booey have the same dentist.

[Gil Bang 25907]

Fucking Keith.  Arguably the greatest Rock and Roll icon that ever lived, and nobody loves Country Music more than he.

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.

If anyone hears about a rebroadcast or even a youtube video of the whole show, please post it here in this thread.

Also, when the song-a-long started, I saw Charlie Crockett in the conga line.  
 

CBS must have thought he didn’t rate well.

Keith's birthday, today.

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.  

 

 

[hullabelew 3723]

I missed seeing Charley Crockett dammit.

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

[Deej 76752]

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.

[Deej 76752]

Did it matter why she was contacting you?

Probably not.

Yep.  She has been touring with him for awhile.

She does...if you just hold on!  

[jimmyjazz 45880]

Looks like the whole show is available here, at least for a while:

Willie #90

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.

[jimmyjazz 45880]

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.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about somebody besides Beck the way you wrote it.

[hullabelew 3723]

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.  

[DallasHorn26 586]

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

I noticed that too, seemed unusual for him.
