Kanada Kev Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Sad with the prices I'd love to see him in Massey. Too rich for me these days though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 We were sooo lucky to have third row centre when he came around to ACC couple years ago (I think MoMack was behind us if i'm not mistaken...). Willy has such a presence. So simple and humble, yet sooo good.I'd love to catch him again...especially up close. But there's no way I can justify dropping $250 plus for the two of us right now.I'll contemplate the balconies when they go onsale.On another note I wish everyone that I want to see weren't all coming in April....things would be a lot more feasible in terms of being able to get away if it was all spread out a little more.

Blurry Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hey basher,Do your special priveleges work with tickets from London? or just Massie?I'd love to catch Willy. He was at Hookahville a bunch of years ago. I heard the show from where I was laying all puddled out by our campsite but I couldn't manage to get up and go see. Yes, I hang my head in shame.

Esau. Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'd love to hit this up, I know Willie in Massey would sound fantastic. Unfortunately, my back just can't take the seats there, after Arlo a couple years back I was laid up for almost the entire next day. Fuck, I wish he was coming back to Hamilton... that was fun! Esau + Whiskey + Willie in Hamilton = goooood times! I was hoping we'd see a Hamilton date as well. Last time was Willie's b-day, what a fun show indeed. Happy birthday opener (sung by the crowd) then Willie opens with Whiskey River. That was the quickest half mickie of rye I ever drank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have seen Willie Nelson 14 times since 1998 and he is still worth seeing live, especially if you have never seen him before.Peace,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Confirmed, finally going to see Willie. At my birthday party as a child, maybe 5 or 6 my parents got me some music (name escaping me) and I opened the gift and before thanking them I looked at my mom and said, "do you think maybe sometime I could get a good Willie Nelson tape" That's one of my favourite stories my Mom has ever told me!
