You have to be in awe of that lineup: Buk, Audley, Greg Leisz, Gabe Witcher, Benmont, Booker T, Terrence Higgns & Don Was backing Emmylou & Lanois. That's a staggering amount of pop music history and talent in one spot. Sheesh.
@Brendan Brady - IF it's still available on YT, check out the Farm Aid where Lanois and his band back Willie. They did a killer version of "The Maker" and "Darkness Upon The Earth".
First time I saw Willie was summer 1980, outdoors in Sacremento. Last 45 minutes of his 3 hour set Willie shared the stage with Merle Haggard, final 20 minutes they shared the stage with Emmylou and Lacy J Dalton. Those three had done full sets earlier. I was 18 then. During my "gap year" before that term existed. The day of music was so great that for years it ruined my appreciation of lesser performers.

Thanks for sharing all the videos, especially this one which is one of my favorite songs.
Mine too! Have you ever heard Jerry Garcia sing the Maker? Best version ever! You are welcome for the Videos!
@@MusicVault I agree. I am not surprised about your opinion, given your profile picture! Thanks again.

@Zoetropeification I also saw Willie in 1980- Hartford Civic Center in Connecticut. Poor acoustics, but wonderful show.
Great!
Thanks for posting!
