Last of the Breed Concert Review – Austin Texas

March 18th 2007 in Concerts, alt.country

The proprietors of the fine country music blog the 9513, have posted a review of the Austin stop of the Nelson/Haggard/Price and Asleep at the Wheel “Last of the Breed” show (the 3/16 or the 3/17 show, the exact show is not mentioned). Be warned, there are a few spoilers detailed for those of you (like me) waiting for the show to come through your town. But even after reading this great review (I always love it when true fans review shows) it doesn’t wain the anticipation one bit. Here’s a taste:

In the middle of “Okie From Muskogee” he was joined by Willie Nelson and guitar, Trigger. Afterwards, Willie pondered out loud, how about a little “Pancho & Lefty?” The crowd went wild. My heart began racing, I glanced at Brady, he smiled back. This was one of the moments I had been waiting for my entire life.

I’ll be doing my own review after Thurday’s show at Radio City Music Hall. I hope I can do these legends as much a tribute as the 9513 has.

I was so excited when Willie came out, even though I knew that that was when he was coming out.

I could hear Willie’s guitar, Trigger, before I say him, and it was so exciting. The crowd went crazy, but the crowd was cheering a lot through the nights I saw them.

Willie improvised a little, “…..where even squares can have a ball, ball, ball, ball….”

Can’t wait to read your review. How close will you be to the stage?

Willie Nelson on the Colbert Report

The Texas yoda goes mano a mano with Steve Colbert in his no satire zone tonight.
I’m sure there will be a big dust-up concerning Stephen Colbert’s new Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor Americone Dream – vanilla ice cream loaded with caramel and fudge-covered waffle bits and Willie Nelson’s Country Peach Cobbler – peach ice cream with cinnamon sugar shortbread pieces. Steve apparently believes this a throw down and an affront to his dignity.
Kick his ass, Willie!
