Such a beautiful and heart wrenching song. You can tell from the look on his face during the opening lines that this is not an idea he just thought up. This is something he lived and still feels it. The magic is that he makes us feel it, too.
The album version does an excellent job of catching that feeling of disbelief and empty like lightening in a bottle. I really adore this song. It’s a stand out on the best country concept album of all time
This set at the Opry House truly shows Willie at his very best as a writer, player, and singer performing his songs his way with full vocal power and guitar mastery.
"I Still Can't Believe You're Gone" and "It's Not Supposed to be That Way" are two beautful tracks from my favorite Willie Nelson album, "Phases and Stages."
This is probably my favorite performance of Mr. Nelson! His distinctive vocals along with the sound of his nylon guitar makes for a truly spectacular performance. I hope to see him soon :)
I remember Willie at this time. And I often visualize him as he is here. Then I see him as he is 45 years later at 87. He shows how fast life is. Willie reminds me to beware of, and appreciate every moment of life. Never say things like I can’t wait for tomorrow. Life is too short to lose even a moment. Thank you for being a good friend who I never met.

It only I had known Willie back in the time. He would not Ever had believed I was Gone. Cause I would have stayed. He was a naturalized. Would have LOVED him to the end. BELIEVE ME. He never knew how to choose his women.

sad day when he leaves us.
CLASSIC WILLIE....PURE GOLD
Willie is such a monster songwriter and singer, that his guitar playing is often overlooked. One of my favorite players of all time..
Truly one of the saddest songs ever written expressed so elegantly through that slow and somber guitar
The album version does an excellent job of catching that feeling of disbelief and empty like lightening in a bottle. I really adore this song. It’s a stand out on the best country concept album of all time
Yep disbelief and emptiness. Been there
@@RABBITMIXO Yes.
I couldn’t have said it better! That’s why I have always been drawn to classical guitar. It’s melancholy nature is so beautiful to me.
This was when I was introduced to him as a kid and he blew me away. Later kept me from goin crazy.
One of my all time favorite Willie Nelson songs , beautiful performance, Will is an American Treasure
This set at the Opry House truly shows Willie at his very best as a writer, player, and singer performing his songs his way with full vocal power and guitar mastery.
Yes
ABSOLUTELY 👍
Sometimes it's easy to forget that he excels at composing and singing and guitar. But when all 3 are in play at once... sublime
First time I've heard this song. How did I miss this? Fantastic.
Saw him in 79 ...fond memory indeed. I missed this one too. Beautiful😮
Oh Willie, how I love your music....your voice is so very unforgettable and I will always love hearing you sing.❤❤❤❤❤❤
There should be a lot more comments. One of the greatest 🎸
Spent life trying to play like him. It’s kinda hard 😂getting close
"I Still Can't Believe You're Gone" and "It's Not Supposed to be That Way" are two beautful tracks from my favorite Willie Nelson album, "Phases and Stages."
And don't forget "Pretend I Never Happened" 😉
This is probably my favorite performance of Mr. Nelson!
His distinctive vocals along with the sound of his nylon guitar makes for a truly spectacular performance. I hope to see him soon :)
Wow, that guitar solo sends a shiver up the spine
I notice every time he appeared at The Grand Old Opry he was clean shaven….he looks amazing. I notice his eyes more❣️
The more time applied to this song, the more stunning it becomes. Somethings defy the time of which it exists. This is one of those examples.
No one better. Period.
Willie and Trigger are ''THE BEST''
Had forgotten all about this song. Simple, but beautiful and says so much.
