Wearing his Farmers’ Almanac TV hat, Willie opens with “The City of New Orleans” Neil sings backup for him. The crowd is on it’s feet as he launches into “Whiskey River.” Neil blasts away on his harmonica.

“Good Hearted Woman” brings the audience to it feet. Everyone claps and sings along with the well-loved tune. Willie belts out the last chorus then yells, “Hello there.” The audience loves it and calls back.

He goes into the song that he wrote, Patsy Kline made hers and once more belongs where it began, with Willie. It is of course “Crazy.”

Willie begins to meld once song with another, there are so many well-loved tunes that the audience wants to hear. “Crazy” becomes “My Life.”

He asks the crowd “How you doing?” He then introduces his sister, Bobbie, who plays “Down River” on piano. She wears her signature black hat and dress.

Willie sings, “Help Me Make It Through The Night.” It is a show stopper. These are the songs the audience has come to hear. This is the legend they came to see.
