Chastain Park Amphitheatre — May 20, 2016

May 20, 2016

Willie Nelson w/Kris Kristofferson & The Strangers This was a very special show. Merle Haggard who originally on tour with Willie had just passed away recently. Kris Kristofferson band consisted of a couple of Merle’s kids. President Jimmy Carter showed up about 10minutes into the set. “Mr President - you are late”... Willie blasted though alot of songs without hardly a pause not even giving the audience time to catch their breath let alone applaud. We were all commenting that “no time for applause keep on playing” modus operandi… The Big highlight was Willie bringing the President and first lady up to sing “Georgia On My Mind”.. It was a very special night. Nice review right here.. http://music.blog.ajc.com/2016/05/21/concert-review-willie-nelson-delights-fans-and-jimmy-carter-at-chastain/
