Willie Nelson & Family & Bob Weir & John Stamos

If you haven’t had the chance to see Willie Nelson perform live you may not know just how incredible the man is with a crowd. He looks directly into audience members’ eyes, points to individuals in the crowd, and waves to people. It’s a completely arresting thing. It makes Nelson’s songs more like a conversation, and the fact that he eases everyone into singing along makes it even more communal. It was a relaxed show, punctuated by chaos every time Nelson threw his hat or bandana into the audience. Yes, John Stamos played bongos, and no, no one was really sure why.
