From Billboard.com:
73 year-old music icon Willie Nelson collaborates with 31 year-old singer/songwriter Ryan Adams on his new album, "Songbird." Due Oct. 31 via Lost Highway, the 11-track set was produced by Adams, whose band the Cardinals back Nelson throughout. Veteran harmonica player Mickey Raphael also appears.
The track list features covers of Gram Parsons' "$1000 Wedding," Christine McVie's "Songbird," the Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter favorite "Stella Blue" and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
In addition, Nelson reworks his own "Rainy Day Blues" (which opens the album), "Sad Songs & Waltzes" and "We Don't Run," as well as tackling the traditional "Amazing Grace."
Nelson is in the midst of a tour with John Fogerty and also has headlining dates on tap through a Sept. 15 appearance at the Austin City Limits festival. On Sept. 30 he will join Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Jerry Lee Lewis for Farm Aid in Camden, NJ.

"Rainy Day Blues"
"Songbird"
"Blue Hotel"
"Back to Earth"
"Stella Blue"
"Hallelujah"
"$1000 Wedding"
'We Don't Run"
"Yours Love"

I'd go to Farm Aid if it wasn't at the fucking Tweeter Center.
I will never EVER go to another show at that fucking place....not even for The Stones. Not even if Lennon and Harrison arose from the dead and the Beatles reunited for a single show there.
Never. Fucking concert nazis... |

Funny, my friends and I call the Tweeter Center here in Massachusetts, the "Nazi Center" - at least they are consistent at their venues . . . |

regardless of the venue... Dave Mathews & John Mellencamp are reason alone for me to not want to see Farm Aid. |

true. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone cooler than Willie or Neil. But I have seen and will see both of them again doing full sets hopefully later this year.
theres no way I could sit thru Mellencamp or DMB. If I left my seat while they were on and the beer lines were down I might go postal. |

What's wrong with it?
An easier question is what ISN'T wrong with it!
Man, I think that they have more sexually frustrated frat boy security guards there than actual paying customers! I have seen them tell people to sit down! SIT DOWN at a WHITE STRIPES show!!! Can you imagine?? If they saw a flash, there would be a swarm of the pricks disrupting everyone, getting in the way, until they found the offending party...and then they threw the lawbreaker out! No warning or anything...they tossed them AND took the camera!!
I saw a couple ask a security guy where they could go to smoke...he pointed them to an exit. But he failed to tell them that if they went out that exit they couldn't get back in!!! And he thought it was funny...he was laughing as they walked away!! I caught them just as they were going out the door and told them how to get outside to smoke and still come back inside.
I went to see the Pixies there, and I thought they were gonna strip search me. They had me up against the wall, the whole nine. Dude not only grabbed my unit, but he smacked my ball bag just to be a prick.
It's fuckin' stormtrooper mentality!
I paid $4.00 for a cup of coffee...and I got one of those little styrofoam Dixie cups that was only half full of brown water. When I asked that they fill up the cup, the chick sneered at me and said, "I'll have to charge you for another one...". I mean, who needs that shit? You know?
Everyone just treats you like shit. And I don't dig it. |

That's very similar to the experience I had at a Maximum Overdrive convention I went to once |

Agree.
Plus The Killer hisself will be there this year.
And so will I...
Not the biggest fan of the Tweeter Center - after all, it is in Camden - but I can say that I haven't had experiences as bad as yours either.
That kind of botheration would sour anybody.
