In case you were unable to attend Willie Nelson 90th birthday concert in Los Angeles last month, there is a limited theatrical run where you can witness all the unique performances dedicated to the 12-time Grammy winner.
On June 11, “Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90″ will be screened in theaters. On June 13 and 14, it will be shown again. The concert video, which was captured at the Hollywood Bowl over two nights in April, will feature performances by numerous artists such as Nelson, Keith Richards, Neil Young, Miranda Lambert, Snoop Dogg, George Strait, and many more.
