Willie Nelson is one of the most successful country music singer-songwriters in history, releasing 68 studio albums and 10 live albums. He wrote his first song at the age of seven and joined his first band at ten, playing concerts as a lead singer and guitar player while still in high school. He spent the ‘50s and ‘60s writing songs for established acts such as Ray Price and Patsy Cline, as well as releasing a string of albums on Liberty and RCA beginning with his debut …And Then I Wrote in 1962. In 1973, he signed to Atlantic Records and put out Shotgun Willie, which veered into outlaw country, a stark contrast from the mainstream Nashville sound and clean-cut country artists of the era. 1975’s Red Headed Stranger and 1978’s Stardust followed on Columbia Records, both garnering commercial and critical success. The ‘80s saw the release of No. 1 albums Honeysuckle Rose, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Always on My Mind, and The Promiseland, as well as Nelson joining Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson in the country supergroup The Highwaymen, touring and releasing three studio albums between 1985 and 1995. Nelson continues to release a new album almost every year and delight ticket buyers in live shows to this day.
It was Willie a good time! Great to see such a legend! Willie and his son sounded great. The food there was good especially the mini bunt cakes yum!
Willie was too old to sing. He talked mostly songs. He was always completely out of breath. That's what smoking does to you. Had a lot of people walking out of the show but we say to the end which was only about 55 minutes long. A performer needs to know when it's time to hang its time to hang it up.
Willie put on a good concert. I am glad I good to see him. The venue was full and I did not understand them not having the screens down on either side of the stage. That would have made things much better. My daughter and I went and we had a fun time.
The concessions are nasty too expensive and very unhealthy! The concessions I noticed are operated by unfriendly African Americans at an all white country music concert. I will not return.
FIRST TIME @ VENUE, GREAT VENUE SET UP. I ONLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE CHAIR RENTAL. IT STATES YOU CAN GET CHAIRS AT THE EVENT ONLINE, BUT WHEN I WENT TO GET THEM AT THE EVENT, SHE SAID I HAD TO PRE-ORDER THEM THROUGH THE APP AND BC THE VENUE HAD STARTED, I COULD NOT RENT CHAIRS. BESIDES THAT, THE PRICES OF YALLS BEVERAGES & FOOD IS A BIT OVER THE TOP BUT I DONT DRINK AND I CAN EAT BEFOREHAND. GREAT TIME OTHERWISE. LOVE THAT YOU HAVE SEVERAL BATHROOMS.
So cool to see the 91 year old legend perform live for the first time in my life. Certainly a bucket list event. I liked the venue other than not having video boards.
I love Willie Nelson, however the tickets were Way overpriced for the number of songs that He sang! When we pay a lot of money for a performance, he needs to give us our money’s worth. He did not play very many songs, that was a let down.
Willie still has it!! He performed splendidly in a tight 90 minute set. Great warmup act of Tami Neilson.
Walk from parking lot about did me in before the concert. Handicap parking very limited. No close parking. Food was not very good and over price. Won't let you bring a chair, but had them and were allowed to use them. Couldn't see without standing up and even then it was difficult.
This venue has great sound. We loved seeing Willie and Micah Nelson. They didn't play long but for the price it was worth it. Food and drinks were a little pricey as they are at most concert venues. We were disappointed that we were not able to get chairs, they ran out. The Sound website was misleading, it said that chairs could be purchased once you are at the venue. This was our first experience here so next time we'll be better prepared.
