Willie Nelson is a national icon and this show was all about showcasing his uncanny talent. Late career icons often hide behind younger talent to carry their shows, but not the case here. There was plenty of talent on the stage as back up, but this was clearly a Willie show. The supporting cast was given ample opportunity to step forward and display their skills, but in no way, did they overshadow Willie. From awesome guitar rifts, to some comedy intertwined in the music, to the melodic voice that is distinctly his, the was Willie at his best.

Favorite moment: Superman followed by She Doesn't Think I'm Funny Any More. Great combination of pure musical talent infused with humor. Awesome! @
Opening act(s): Brett Eldredge was a perfect opener. All acoustic, strong voice, excellent songwriting and overall good sound. I think you will hear a lot more from him. @
