I saw him at Walnut Creek (Raleigh) maybe 2005, 2006? He OPENED for John Fogerty. Willie was supposed to start at 7:30, but came on stage at 7:15! People were scrambling to get out of the beer line to get back to their seats. The whole show was really, really good. I think our lawn seats were $12 each.
Saw Willie at Chastain Park in Atlanta. Also saw Jimmy Buffet, the Moody Blues, and a few others there. My memory of those concerts is a little hazy. Chastain is a smaller, more intimate outdoor venue in Atlanta. Highly recommended.
