"…a near religious musical experience."
“He’s the spirit guide,” says singer Edie Brickell during this extraordinary concert film. “He’s the vibe nurturer.” They’re apt words to describe the great Willie Nelson, the genial, friendly face of the mostly lonesome-ornery-and-mean brand of Outlaw Country Music that he invented with his compadres Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson in the 1970s. Over the decades of his storied career, Willie Nelson has become well-loved not just for the brilliance of his songwriting and the unmistakable timbre of his wise, world-weary delivery, but also for his counter-culturalist swagger and, particularly in recent years, his fondness for – as Woody Harrelson calls it in one of his introductions here – Saint Mary Jane.
One the event of Willie Nelson’s, wait for it, 90th birthday (!!!), a huge two-day concert event was held in Los Angeles earlier this year to celebrate, and an incredible array of artists were on-hand to bring the party via some wonderful musical performances. This close-to-three-hour concert film is a distillation of those two days, and while it’s easy to run through the list of players and query the obvious absences (Dwight Yoakam, The Chicks, Ziggy Marley, Sturgill Simpson, Orville Peck and others all fail to make the cinematic cut), it’s hard to quibble with any concert film that boasts performers as diverse as George Strait, Rodney Crowell, Beck, Snoop Dogg, Tom Jones and Keith Richards. The fact that just about everyone is deliriously, entertainingly on-point makes Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 a truly rollicking, touching, emotionally resonant and richly enjoyable watch.
Beautifully, simply shot by director Gregg Gelfand without the barrage of cross-cutting that renders most contemporary concert films so distracting, Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 unfolds at a cool, calm leisurely pace totally in sync with the famously laidback titan at its centre. With the stunning natural amphitheatre of The Hollywood Bowl as backdrop; a host of big-name announcers – including obvious Willie like-minders Ethan Hawke, Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson, along with the slightly less obvious Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler and, um, Helen Mirren – to keep things going; and a crowd filled with LA urban cowboys and cowgirls, hippies, and celebs (was that Julia Roberts and Danny Moder?), the mood is just right from the get-go.
With the day still light, a host of country music’s best new practitioners (Billy Strings, Charlie Crockett, Waylon Payne, Nathaniel Rateliff, Margo Price) deliver strong, personalised versions of Willie Nelson hits and deep cuts, all backed by a drum-tight house band featuring Benmont Tench on keys, the great Mickey Raphael on harmonica, and frequent drop-ins from Willie’s annoyingly handsome and gifted sons, Lukas and Micah Nelson. The highlights fly thick and fast, from the surprising (Beck’s “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain” is gorgeous; a decidedly red-eyed Jack Johnson’s “Willie Got Me Stoned And Took All My Money” is comic genius, as is Dave Matthews’ pre-song story about getting baked on Willie’s tour bus) to the expected (the brilliant Rosanne Cash being joined on stage by the distressingly frail Kris Kristofferson for “Lovin’ Her Was Easier” is heartbreaking and incredibly moving, while just seeing Willie Nelson and Keith Richards breathe the same air on “We Had It All” is worth the ticket price on its own).
Scattered throughout are many, many great moments (“Can we do this in the key of smoke?” Snoop Dogg asks before joining Willie on the wonderful “Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die”; “Oooooh, Helen Mirren,” hollers eighty-something Tom Jones salaciously after being introduced by The Great Dame) and a host of unforgettable performances (Neil Young, Sheryl Crow, The Dead’s Bob Weir, Leon Bridges, Gary Clark Jr., Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Norah Jones, Tyler Childers, Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris and a very coolly outfitted Miranda Lambert are all absolutely great) that combine to make the uplifting and truly joyous Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 a near religious musical experience.

Willie Nelson to Update His Classic Hits on New Album ‘Bluegrass’
Country great's 151st album arrives in September and includes "You Left Me a Long, Long Time Ago"
Willie Nelson will reinterpret some of his classic songs with a group of world-class pickers on his new album Bluegrass. The project, which marks the 90-year-old country legend’s 151st (or so) album release, arrives Sept. 15 and is introduced with a new rendition of “You Left Me a Long, Long Time Ago.”
The original version of “You Left Me a Long, Long Time Ago,” from Nelson’s 1972 album The Willie Way, was a full-band production that was steeped in piano and pedal steel, belying its relatively quick tempo. This new version featuring only acoustic instruments, is slower and heavier, with Nelson’s voice occasionally accented by delicate harmonies.
Nelson is joined on Bluegrass by some of the best in the business, including Barry Bales (upright bass), Ron Block (banjo), Aubrey Haynie (fiddle), Rob Ickes (dobro), Josh Martin (acoustic guitar), Mickey Raphael (harmonica), Seth Taylor (mandolin), Bobby Terry (guitar), and Dan Tyminski (mandolin), with backing singers including Wyatt Beard, Buddy Cannon, and Melonie Cannon. The selections are all Nelson compositions, from well-known numbers like “Good Hearted Woman” (which he wrote with Waylon Jennings) and “On the Road Again” to lesser-known gems like 1993’s “Still Is Still Moving to Me” and the 1963 tune “Home Motel.”
Bluegrass is Nelson’s second album of 2023, following I Don’t Know a Thing About Love, which came out in March and paid tribute to the songs of Harlan Howard. Nelson also celebrated his 90th birthday with two-day all-star celebration at the Hollywood Bowl — a film made about those concerts will arrive in June. And in November, Nelson will release his new book Energy Follows Thought: The Stories Behind My Songs, where he unpacks lyrics to 160 of his compositions.
Bluegrass Track List
“No Love Around”
“Somebody Pick Up My Pieces”
“Good Hearted Woman” (co-written with Waylon Jennings)
“Sad Songs and Waltzes”
“Home Motel”
“You Left Me a Long, Long Time Ago”
“Yesterday’s Wine”
“Bloody Mary Morning”
“Slow Down Old World”
“Still Is Still Moving to Me”
“On the Road Again”

Awesome, they sound great!
Thanks for the heads up! I only caught a little of it before.

Post-broadcast:
Good stuff. But I've still seen only part of the full 173(?) min. streamed version. CBS's is a 2 hr show, with commercials, so... about 80 min of the concert? Still, free's a good price.
Weakest link I saw in this cut: Dave Matthews. But isn't he always? I've never understood how that guy ever got any kind of following.
I see the 2024 Willie & Bob & Robert & Alison show June 26th.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2024-05-30 06:24 by TheBluesHadaBaby.
I was there for both days. So much memorable stuff on the cutting room floor. I was lucky to attend and record this.
Thanks for sharing then also, I’m still ploying your taping frequently. It’s a shame more wasn’t put into the movie (or is it being held back for a BluRay)
Talk about your favorite band.

Good show. I like the blues and pop ballads more than the pure country, including
performances by Warren Haynes and Gary Clark Jr., for example. Keith exhibited
charm and confidence, great to see.

From another review:
[news.pollstar.com]
"Though word had leaked, the appearance of the Rolling Stone took the night over the top. Two naughty pirates, he and Nelson did a tough-tender lament “We Had It All.” But it was Shaver’s “Live Forever,” a gospel song that bubbled over with the reality of existence beyond the grave and the promise of ongoing life in the hearts of others, that served as a jubilant final song. What needed to be said was sung, the audience joining in – and the musicians taking the stage for that euphoric moment. Yes, a gospel medley and “Happy Birthday” followed, but “Live Forever” shut the night down."

We saw Willie over the 4th of July weekend for his Outlaw Music Festival.
It was insanely good.
He’s such a seasoned veteran of the business that he knows exactly what to do.
The show has huge acts such as Robert Plant/ Allison Kraus , John Fogerty, etc
They play a set which of course is a headliner anywhere else,you got your moneys worth and afterwards you get an hour with the legend.
Many members of his band have passed away, his drummer, guitar player, his piano player and sister Bobbie,
He sits through the entire show with his son Micah and they play acoustic guitars.
It is FCKNG phenomenal.
The show we saw the opener was Whiskey Meyers, I’ve mentioned this band before.I know fans here saw them open for the Stones and were a bit indifferent, you should’ve paid more attention.
I saw SKYNYRD and the ALLMAN BROTHERS in the 70s, I’d put this band up against them any day.
And Willie followed them- AND Pulled it off.end of story-GOAT

Thanks bye bye johnny - always good to see Keith here, good to see Keith anywhere - it's good to see Keith here, there, and everywhere...healthy and happy!
I've always wondered what it would be like to be a performer standing on the fantastic and historic Hollywood Bowl stage looking out at the crowd in amazement...
Quite a nice venue, and I've been fortunate to see many bands there - the Stones, the Who, Dylan, Clapton/Winwood, Neil Young, CSNY, Blur...and on and on...

‘Willie Nelson’s 90th Birthday Celebration’ Coming To CBS, Paramount+
By Bruce Haring
November 2, 2023
He’s always on country music fans’ minds, and now they’ll have a chance to celebrate him. Willie Nelson’s 90th Birthday Celebration concert special was announced tonight during Nelson’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The two-hour show will air Sunday, Dec. 17 on CBS at 8:30 PT/ET on CBS, with streaming live and on-demand via Paramount+.
The special was recorded live earlier this year across two nights before a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl, celebrating Nelson’s milestone 90th birthday and the 12-time Grammy Award winner’s contributions to popular culture and music.
Performances include Nelson, Beck, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Snoop Dogg, Norah Jones, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews, Nelson’s sons Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson, Keith Richards, George Strait and Chris Stapleton. The special is hosted by stars Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler, Woody Harrelson, Ethan Hawke, Helen Mirren and Owen Wilson.
“It is the sincere privilege of our lives to have produced these shows celebrating our beloved Willie, and to partner with CBS to bring this special to fans around the world,” said Mark Rothbaum and Keith Wortman, creators and executive producers. “Viewers will now have the chance to sing, and laugh, and cry and experience the joy of this celebration like never before.”
The show is a production of Blackbird Presents.

He’s always on country music fans’ minds, and now they’ll have a chance to celebrate him. Willie Nelson’s 90th Birthday Celebration concert special was announced tonight during Nelson’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The two-hour show will air Sunday, Dec. 17 on CBS at 8:30 PT/ET on CBS, with streaming live and on-demand via Paramount+.
The special was recorded live earlier this year across two nights before a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl, celebrating Nelson’s milestone 90th birthday and the 12-time Grammy Award winner’s contributions to popular culture and music.
Performances include Nelson, Beck, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Snoop Dogg, Norah Jones, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews, Nelson’s sons Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson, Keith Richards, George Strait and Chris Stapleton. The special is hosted by stars Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler, Woody Harrelson, Ethan Hawke, Helen Mirren and Owen Wilson.
“It is the sincere privilege of our lives to have produced these shows celebrating our beloved Willie, and to partner with CBS to bring this special to fans around the world,” said Mark Rothbaum and Keith Wortman, creators and executive producers. “Viewers will now have the chance to sing, and laugh, and cry and experience the joy of this celebration like never before.”
The show is a production of Blackbird Presents.

Thanks for the heads up! I only caught a little of it before.

Post-broadcast:
Good stuff. But I've still seen only part of the full 173(?) min. streamed version. CBS's is a 2 hr show, with commercials, so... about 80 min of the concert? Still, free's a good price.
Weakest link I saw in this cut: Dave Matthews. But isn't he always? I've never understood how that guy ever got any kind of following.
I see the 2024 Willie & Bob & Robert & Alison show June 26th.

I was there for both days. So much memorable stuff on the cutting room floor. I was lucky to attend and record this.

Thanks for sharing then also, I’m still ploying your taping frequently. It’s a shame more wasn’t put into the movie (or is it being held back for a BluRay)

Willie's new album The Border is an excellent addition to a massive catalogue. Highly recommended. I reviewed it for The Arts Desk. The title song and Hank's Guitar especially good, but so's the rest of it.Here'#s the link if yr interested...
