    I love Teatro...it's got that great haunting instrumental to kick it off before Willie's voice comes in on track 2 with the perfect lyrics to start off that album: "The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all."

    the sky was never blue
    the stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
    and i never cared for you

    this vid and a few more were released as teatro on vhs, directed by wim wenders- probably a bit pricey for a vhs these days, but worth it if you like the album as much as i do. a fantastic companion to the album.

    Damn....maybe they'll release it on DVD or blu-ray someday...I simply can't justify purchasing any VHS in this day and age...the last one I bought was over ten years ago, and it was "Let It Be"...and a bootleg copy too

    I'm not a fan of Willie Nelson's music but I respect his music. I know Willie and his son Lukas recorded a version of Pearl Jam's Just Breathe on their upcoming duets album so that will be interesting to hear.

    Happy Birthday Willie Nelson! Wishing you many more!

    I saw Willie and Family at the Dixon County Fair a few years ago- one of the best shows I've ever been to! :D

    Willie Nelson "Just Breathe" Live on SiriusXM's Willie's Roadhouse HD

    that song is one of the greatest songs ever written
    and, certainly, that is one of the best compliments pearl jam have ever received(imo)

    and...

    Somebody pointed out elsewhere that Willie is not looking so good these days as seen in this recent performance:


    Willie is 86 and has had respiratory problems lately.  At 86, living on the road, living the life of a musician, none of this, of course, comes as a shock.  But as I watched this video, it struck me that this great hero of mine is in those last years of life and the thought of not having him around any more one day struck me full force and next thing I know, I'm like that song, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain".

    Willie Nelson is one of the most beautiful people on the planet.

    Endless love for Willie Nelson.

    Thank you, Willie.

    Got to shake Willie’s hand and got his autograph years ago at his show at a casino near my house. 

    Willie is the man. A true original. 

    Sad part is when I saw this thread had new posts I thought the worst. Here’s to many more pot smoke hazed years to come, Mr. Nelson. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    The recent Willie tribute 2020 was incredible. One of a kind and one of the greatest ever.
