Willie Nelson Funny How Time Slips Away/Night Life

[desfrat]

I freaking love you willie, there ain't better music than yours, I will always live regretting the fact that I have never seen you in a concert, hope some day our paths cross... best of lucks for you

[DivingHawk1]

Still AWSOME!!!!!

[LaSunBaby]

Willie Nelson's sister Bobbie playing piano!

[NeedAMiracle]

Cocaine is a power drug-Rick james. And Quaalude's too, but these guys are professionals. I was 4 when this was going on. I'd give an arm to be there for a wknd, not a care in the world. No terrorism, no war, just willie and some love

[cielo27rah]

So grateful for this!

I love the way Willy's Sister plays . .

This is a Gem

[CosmicTraveler]

That's Ritchie Albright on drums? Paul must have been taking a break....

[cALibREEZze]

AMAZING...MUSIC BREATHES WITH THIS MIND...

[nensejer]

so fucking great. I am thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend because I can´t get her interested in Willie, Leon, or Waylon.

[NeedAMiracle]

@nensejer --send her down the road.

[Northtide]

The scary part of this video is I can remember when Willie LOOKED like he does in this video. Yeah Willie, time really does slip away. He's had that old Martin guitar since Christ was an ordinary seaman.

Thanks for the post.

[LaSunBaby]

That's Willie Nelson's sister Bobby on piano in case any one cares!

[vinylray]

Leon Russell cooler than Dean Martin when he drinks

[judecreek2]

Damn, they were having so much fun...doing what they loved to do and having a good time doing it.

[radishrose]

i wish that dude would choke on the harmonica.....I've always hated the harp in willie tunes

[peterpterodactyl]

Willie wrote these two songs, and another called Crazy, in the same week.

[rayjmama]

oh Leon!

[juliamelbrown]

I was there! Even tho I was only 3, I swear I remember...especially all the naked hippies walking around. LOL! I've idolized this man all my life. I'm now a singer in a rock band and still give Willie all the credit when people tell me how much soul I have. My parents gave me the tools by letting me listen to Willie, Emmy Lou, Ray Charles, Jerry Jeff, Jimmy Buffet and Lynyrd Skynyrd! Then my brother introduced me to Kiss, Van Halen, Styx, Queen, Ted Nugent and Heart!!! Music is my life!!

[gibsg62]

@juliamelbrown ....I wish I could sing great...Is there a singer out there somewhere for my guitar...

Peace :)

[DJSkills1972]

Its so incredible!! Even though its 1974, its so modern!!!

[pbtexas217]

got that Austin tan! I was probably at this show. surprisin'...............!

[toploadertele]

Funny how time slips away but the harp player still looks the same....Long live Willie, I been a fan since '74 and I am from Minnesota !!

[professor501]

Is this performance available anywhere? I'd love to get a copy of just this alone! Three of my favorites from Willie, especially "Funny How Time Slips Away".

[sjoara]

Oh My!! BEST part of the video EVER is @ 6:20 Somebody please watch Leon thrust those sexy hips! Is anybody else turned on like me!

"I like to drink, Bless your heart"

[jcfontario]

@sjoara

Does anyone know if there is a full ideo of this show that is available. Some great acts from the early days of outlaw western music at this picnic.

[184lisa]

@sjoara YEAH....I love it.. Leon is cool and sexy even he´s a little drunk..:-DD Love him!! You know what.. I ´m just 25. and jealous of verybody who can see him in these times live----:-DD I wanna have a "time machine"

[jamesbaileytx]

If I could play the guitar like Willie and sing like Waylon I'd have it made...

[Krissylynn8]

This is great. My son is in a rock n roll band, and he stresses out about lil stuff, so I had him watch this. I mean, Willie was always cool.

[inspiration4him1]

I won't be the first to tell you that besides Willie having a great voice, he had one of the world's best backups too. His sister Bobby was darn good on the piano and he had Larry Gatlin backing him up on a couple albums as vocal, Jimmy day on steel and of course the legend Johnny Gimble. Too bad most of those were not on the stage here, but it's still WONDERFUL!

[CashPresley32]

I think Johnny Cash was the best singer of all time, and had the best backing band.

[RattlerMan33]

its not really funny how time has slipped away and there aint no more good music and good times like this being played anymore. At least we have You Tube and some good folks like you to post these fine performances.

[cielo27rah]

@RattlerMan33

Sorry, must disagree . . This is fabulous

Good Music will go on though

The masters' will promote Masterpieces'

Good Music will continue

[joecoolmccall]

lol- the dude sings better drunk that I could ever sober...lol

[derfsanderson]

leon is the master of space and time. Great to see this after reading all about it in his biography shit Im only up to the IRS problems, its good to be able to read something and read how he grew then watch these videos and see him progress. THEYRE GREAT! 30 something years later- thats amazing, hes a genious

[slim315]

I tell you what.This has got to be the best.I watch this damn thang almost every day.I think Leon makes these videos of this picnic.Willie was the shit back then and he will always be the shit.

[professor501]

Man, I hate to see a wasted Leon Russell. He's such a fantastic musician, and I've long admired his work. Excellent video, by the way. Its nice to see and hear Bobbie on the keys too!

[epicmeade]

i wonder if leon russell woke up the next day and said "Oh My God, what did i do". i love that willie would just let a completely wasted leon stagger on to the stage in front of 30.000 people. it feels like a backyard keg party, which is what any great Country show ought to be.

[calliope3001]

thank you, great video

[vonerichfan]

Incredible Show!!! Beautiful!!!

[eleetex]

Pretty lady in long blue dress first seen at 3:35, declining offer to sing at 4:00---isn't that Tracy Nelson?

[jperry65]

thats areally nice collection there .

right on

[lilydog97]

Willie CAN'T give a bad performance! He's one of the greatest musicians to ever live! If you don't like it, don't watch it!

[RayNDeere]

You are absolutely right. You get your moneys worth every day and three times on Sunday when you see Willie in concert. I just love these classic performances.

[jarrakid]

very poor performance!

[zmanzmanzmanzman1]

I disagree, This was Willie in his prime. Sure everybody is drunk (including the crowd) The smell of weed everywhere! 1 big party for Texas rednecks,kinda like Woodstock, but for rednecks.

[specialagentowl]

other than the fact that Leon Russell is drunk off his ass, how on Earth do you think this is a bad performance?!?! This is classic live Willie!!
