He played a local fair in northern Berks in 1967 for $500. A local woman was the head of a Willie Nelson fan club for decades after that. Even flew to Hawaii to visit him in the hospital at one point. It took her a long time to talk him into playing the same fairgrounds again, also for $500. It was a nice outdoor concert in 1986 with a huge crowd. He only played one set. I believe it was about $25 a ticket.

Hopefully they taped it for some streaming service and they would be dumb if they didnt. That would be better quality than the youtube videos I watched, at least the sound. But what I watched so far was pretty good.

The phone vids were terrible.

For people who spent 3 to $6000 for tickets you'd think they would have better phones! :lol: The cheapest tickets were 400 I think. I did not save any videos to my laptop but did find one man's videos ok to watch. He was back maybe 30 rows near the center. Still, I'll wait for the official release of a video. There has to be one coming.

Heres some decent videos of the 2 days, lots of them, by the same man. Could be a little clearer but the sound is good and he was close to the stage. https://www.youtube.com/@MusicVault/videos
