Willie Nelson - 1978-04-xx - Lake Tahoe, NV (FM/FLAC)

(FM Broadcast FLAC)

Harrah's Casino

This is an absolutely fabulous Willie Nelson & Family recording from April, 1978 at Lake Tahoe's Harrah's Casino. As you can see, this is a master FM broadcast recording by D&D, and transferred by JEMS. (This is D & D Archives Master Series Volume 23.) There are a few issues right at the beginning of the recording but it clears up quickly and does not recur. As you can see, this is the (or at least a) "classic" Family lineup playing an absolutely killer setlist, at least in my not particularly humble opinion.

I have a note here indicating that "…this was a multi-show stand, and some performances were used on the "Willie And Family Live 2-lp set, but none of these performances specific to the torrent are on it, I compared them having the LP…"

My wife lumps Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Tom Waits and others who can't really seem to sing on key/don't have "pretty" voices (whateverthehell that means! HA!). In any event, this definitely would not be one for her ears.

MD5, ffp and the original text file included. I have not included this intro as I made only minor alterations to the original text file (which remains unchanged) to create this intro. All of the music and info files come to you exactly as they came to me.

One more thing: Please note that I am, as always, simply the messenger. All thanks go to wildbluesage, D&D, JEMS, and, of course, the musicians and technicians. A very humble "thank you!" from Luckymudster to one and all.
