There never will be another person who could write songs for other people that he eventually made number-one hits. One of the best and he's still breathing.
Pretty interesting voicings. Mix of gypsy, flamenco, country, jazz and soul of willie. Such an amazing dessert of music created by willie using above ingredients.
Interesting to see all the negativity in the comments. Gotta tell you I was flat mesmerized by his presence, phrasing, and just downright inhabiting all three elements of this medley. As it ended, I found myself thinking "damn, the man was 80 years old at the time of this performance! The technical skills may fade, but Willie has forgotten more than most artists will ever know about 'selling' a song." I am in awe. Happy birthday, Willie. Play on.
I noticed that Willie never stopped singing. He never stopped playing his guitar, the other stopped and they passed away not long after they stopped singing.
The naysayers just don't get it. This is so entertaining, and I think self-effacing on Willie's part, though his genius still shines through. Did you notice that he quoted "Jingle Bells" at the end? Or were you too full of yourself and hoping to judge a talent that dwarfs your own to really listen to one of our National Treasures?
acctually i quite disagree age is just a state of mind and yea of coarse there may be a few Wrinkles here and there but i don't think age has affected his ability at all and to be honest i think he sounds great! :D
Gee Lovely one Jones, you sure do make Christianity sound appealing. It sure must be nice to not have anything in your own life that needs worked on so that you can devote all your time judging and critiquing others. You have no idea what's in Willie's heart and you have no place to point a finger. The bible says we ALL have sinned and cone short of the glory of God. The bible also says "judge not lest he be judged in likewise manner. " Next time search your own heart, find out what you need worked on, and stop using Christ as an excuse to badmouth other people. People like you give Christianity a bad name. I'll be praying for you!
Lovely One Jones what a nasty judging person you are....the truth is not in you until you begin to love the sinner....what ever weaknesses you think anyone has remember God loves them!
That transition from Funny How Time Slips Away to Crazy was the best thing ever 💕
Willie is pure genius on that guitar; there will never be another person that plays the guitar like he does.
His mate Glen Cambell could. RIP Glen

Willie, You are the King, I have been to 30 concerts of yours, I am looking forward to seeing you again, Happy New Year, Cheers, Cousin Figel
Superb Performance!!!
🎶🎶🎶🎼🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
there are no words to describe Willie and his songs. He's a gift from God
It is pure genius, how it ambles and crescendos and comes together as a medley. There’s another live recording of this one I think is the best.
I love seeing your Son standing beside you! I love you Willie and Family
dosent this man just love his music. A god given gift.
Lovely thanks 😊hope you are well and thanks again
LOVE THIS
They can't keep up with his genius. It's that simple.
He is just plain awesome!!!!
Can't wait to see him again in May!!
I hope I'm that active when I'm 80!
I can't wait to see him in 8 days!!! ❤
good to see trigger is still kickin
❤️ Willie!! yep great songs. ❤️them.
Willie is so fantastic.
King of music!!!!!
sing it Willie... proud Farm Aid supporter
To follow my opinion that Joni Mitchell is one of the best singer/songwriters ever, this man is right there as well!
Zeppelin members' inspiration and idol!
Love it...
WooooHoo! Tell it Willie!!!!!!!!!!!
great tune
How to hear this without tears - OK guys, I'm good with feeling vulnerable......,
🦒💜🤞

Thank you very much for ur post.
This is the most wonderful video to think about being oneself forever.
Willie is so cool man he's kinda mixture of a Rock - Star , Country star 🌙so hippie i love him man
I still say Willie Nelson is the best damn picker to ever pick up a damn guitar
Smoking grass must not be too bad for you after all
SRV of country music
I have thought the same thing for many years. Why I play an Electric Classic through a Baldwin C1 same as he. Love the tone and style.
He also can play some of the most awesome Spanish-style music. Just Awesome.
just my opinion, willie plays guitar he knows every inch of trigger. like jerry lee knows the piano. awesome talent. and Lukas has it

It isn’t truly funny how time slips away when what occurs is the difference of our leaders words
⭐️⭐️🎼🎼🎼
Be Aye YOU Tea FULL!!!!!
Beautiful!!!!!
❤️🙏
luk come to rock yhe park London ont!!!
wow, he used to be so good, its amazing what age does to a person.
acctually i quite disagree age is just a state of mind and yea of coarse there may be a few Wrinkles here and there but i don't think age has affected his ability at all and to be honest i think he sounds great! :D
I am completely looking over his wrinkles, I am more focused on how he cant carry a tune, sing with timing, or play the guitar at a consistent pace.
we all have opinions but thats ok
He has always sang behind the beat... He was and still is a genius on guitar
carry a tune? you must be tone def..
I'm only 13 but I think he's got even better since I was 2
The man still has his voice.. Why don't he sing then.. Not just talk through the whole song...don't understand
I'm tired of watching Willie punch the money clock...
I think he's tired too.
Great talent....don't get me wrong.
Uh-huh

a beautiful mess
he is slipping...sad...
Perhaps your looking at it the wrong way...this man is still doing it. You too will likely be "Slipping" when your pushing 80. Good luck with that!
That post was 3 years ago. He's probably been strangled by now. ...sad
We're all slipping
@@MrRemo58 E grande Willie! Alla sua età mettersi ancora in gioco!👩❤️💋👨🤩😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘♥️💔💯💋⛄🎅🎄
