ONE TIME USE ONLY. PHOTO ONLY TO BE USED FOR THIS REVIEW ONLY. Willie Nelson performs during the Outlaw Music Festival on Monday, July 29, 2024 in Chula Vista, CA. There was a rare cosmic convergence early Tuesday morning when the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids meteor showers overlapped.
Nelson missed the first seven June and July dates on this summer’s Outlaw tour because of an unspecified illness. Yet, while he coughed and blew his nose a few times during Monday’s concert, his supple voice never faltered and his mellifluous, exquisitely nuanced reading of Hoagy Carmichael’s “Georgia On My Mind” was a master class in phrasing and delivery.in April, Nelson hit his stride with the first notes of “Whiskey River,” his traditional opening number.
His four-man band included drum legend Jim Keltner, who last toured with Dylan in 2002 and first recorded with him in 1971. He said “thank you” to the audience at least five times, which for Dylan almost qualifies as a gab fest. He and Nelson both made good-natured references to their age during their back-to-back sets.
