Late night Willie

[drumdemon44]

I think it would be really fun to see a late night Willie show, that would be a great vibe and a crazy time !

I agree...pending on how late were talking. if its reallly late then i can see myself getting realllllyy "comfortable" and possibly dosing off and and waking up the next morning wondering what the hell happened.

[GOUGEaway]

can't see it happenning. Saw Willie about 7 years ago during Sunset. It was the PERFECT time of day for his set.

I say he'll get 5:30 on Friday or Saturday. I would love, love, love to see him at the ramble with Levon. I think that is as close to latenight Willie as we will get.

[Ian'sGotAFeeling]

It would be nice to see him late night, but if it is I think I will unfortunately be skipping him for some of the other late night acts (assuming he played at a time as another band I wish to see).

[oysterheadhead]

don't you know old people can't stay up late

[rideincircles]

Sunset is the best time by far, I dont want Willie as a late night conflict.
Willie at Coachella during sunset:

I agree with the sunset people. I was at that Coachella show and it was absolutely perfect.

[Sköldpadda]

I'm down with the sunset. I could see him at noon and it would be great, too. I wish !!! would get a late-night, but I know there are only so many spots to fill...

[dominationSTP]

Yeah, i highly doubt he'll play at night.

exactly. Though a fine sentiment, i need some Beats-Per-Minute to keep me going strong throughout the night.


Sure it'd be nice and lax, but i'd rather see Willie somewhere between 4 and 7. I'd rather chill out in the sun and hoist up a few with beer-in-hand at the What stage, rather than inevitably wiggin balls at some tent wishing i was hearing some heady grooves.

[Darth Boo Boo Kitty @#*&]

I agree - too mellow for late night. I can't wait to see him, though, whenever he plays.

[the3penguins]

Maybe he can do a set of 9/11 conspiracy theories:

Other that though, yeah, he seems a good artist for the afternoon sun.

agreed. I wouldn't see him if he played late night, but I wouldn't care cuz that's always when there are like 4 bands that i want to see at the same time, so willie would just be one i could scratch off. I love Willie and I hope he plays a pre headliner show

Willies at that age where you go to bed early.

So is Levon Helm, but I bet he plays a late night set.
