Country music legend Willie Nelson hosted the 37th annual Farm Aid at Raleigh, NC’s Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek back in September. The festival, which has raised more than $64 million to help family farmers around the country since its inception in 1985, featured a lineup that included Margo Price, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, John Mellencamp, Chris Stapleton, Sheryl Crow, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and more. One of the many highlights of the event was a performance by Willie Nelson & Family. Now, Willie’s entire set is available to watch in new pro-shot video.
Accompanied by a band that included his sons Lukas and Micah, who each performed sets with their own groups—Lukas with Promise of the Real and Micah with Particle Kid—Willie performed a set loaded with classics from his extensive catalog, which is comprised of a whopping 98 albums, as well as songs written by his sons and other assorted covers. The set kicked off on a high with crowd favorite “Whiskey River”, followed by “Stay a Little Longer” and “Bloody Mary Morning”. The hits continued with “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys”, “On the Road Again”, and “You Were Always on My Mind”.

Following a pair of seemingly contradictory songs about Georgia, “(Forget About) Georgia” by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real and “Georgia (On My Mind)” by Hoagy Carmichael, plus Particle Kid’s “Everything Is Bullsh–t”, Willie wrapped up the performance with additional fan favorites including “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”, a mashup of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” and “I’ll Fly Away”, Mac Davis‘s “It’s Hard to Be Humble”, and Hank Williams‘s “I Saw the Light”.
