THE Willie Nelson Thread (singer, members, concerts, quote, artists)

Everybody knows Willie Nelson, sure. But this man has been only recognized mainly for some of his songs like "On The Road Again" and "Whiskey River" when he has really done some deep poetic songs that have gone unnoticed by the mainstream population. That is why I want to start this thread to give some love to Willie that he very much deserves and to suggest a few songs to fellow Willie fans.

I have seen him in concert twice and he was amazing both times. He put his whole heart into both concerts which you don't see a lot in older artists. His guitar playing sounded as good as it did way back in the day. He had the whole crew of band members with him which was really great. Bobby Nelson was there playing piano with her trademark hat on, Mickey was still on harmonica, Paul English was on drums, and the other members Bee Spears, Billy English, and Jody Payne.

I'll start off a good little list of some songs that everyone needs to check out before you can diss Willie Nelson in any way.

"If You Could Touch Her At All" - Willie and Family Live
"Red Headed Stranger" - Willie and Family Live
"Me and Paul" - Wanted! The Outlaws
"Till I gain Control Again" - Willie and Family Live
"Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground" - Willie Nelson Live 1998
"A Song For You" - Willie and Family Live

So tell me about your favorite Willie songs and concerts and what you think of this dude.
