PBS just released this as part of its 35th year celebration. Streaming full-length video (broadband connection required).

Willie has short brown hair, and his guitar's top already had a hole in it.

Coincidentally. This was shot on Oct 17, 35 years ago. I would have just turned one.

Willie is awesome!

I'm not a fan of country music but the classic guys just kick ass. Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, etc... Hell even back to Hank Williams senior.

LL thanks for posting this I watched it all. I am not a fan of country music but I too like some of the older ones and very few of the newer ones. I really like Willie Nelson though. I seen at Memphis in May blue fest a couple years ago right after his 70th birthday. He still puts on a great show. He also played skullbone Tn about 8 years ago. It too was a great show. Yeah the hole in his guitar was not a big then and it did not have all the autograghs on it either. I was glad he played 2 of my favs by him Gee ain't it funny and Crazy.
