Willie Nelson played a full set of what his fans wanted to hear at AVA last Wednesday, but not a minute more. Although he could have been days singing through his catalog of favorites, there was no encore. Still, the fans heard plenty to keep them happy. He even made time for covers of other country rebels, and he made it a family affair by duetting with his daughter Amy Lee Nelson for the two set closers. Photographer C.E. Elliott reports some memorable performances:
Stardust
Georgia on My Mind
Blue Skies
All of Me
On the Sunny Side of the Street
Funny How Time Slips Away
Crazy
Night Life
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
I'll Be Seeing You
Whiskey River
Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
Shotgun Willie
On the Road Again
Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die
Just hold on a little longer and , the way laws are going, everyone will be able to salute you with an appropriate smoke.
