This is a must have for any fan of Willie or Ray!!! It's a DVD Audio (5.1) & Sounds like you are in the house. The price $9.95, I have bought another one. It will not be opened. The duet of Willie & Ray, Seven Spanish Angles, is worth the 9.95 by it's self. Its a Rhino production and the remastering was surprizing. It's a true Willie DVD!!! Great selection of material and comedy. One with Ray Charles that will make even the grumpiest person laugh!!!!! Don't wait uptil the price increase. Order it today. ~Billy ~Dawg~

I have allways thought that Willie is at his best when he invites any other singer to fashion a uncredibly emotionnal relation ship during one hour or two. The kind of concert that leaves a eternal souvenir in mind... And that is just what happens here. We can feel really a rope of love and appreciation between those two singer, when they talk to each other and when they sing together (they sing, of course "Georgia", "Seven spanish angels", but also classics country standards). But, tze only problem for fans of Ray Xharles is that he appears only in the first half of the video. For fans of Willie it's no matter, because he sings also alone one or two of his best, like "To all the girls I loved before" or "Who'll buy my memories". And you know thet he doen't play twice the same song the same way !... And ynybody can create such an emotion while playing the guitar in the middle of the songs !...

I'll be seeing Willie Nelson this weekend at New York's Beacon Theatre. This will be my fourth Willie concert and man have I been waiting with great anticipation for the Red-Headed Stranger to come into town. In the meantime I've got this marvelous DVD to satisfy my craving. This is one of the great performances by Willie. He's relaxed, (even by his own laid back standards) and in great voice.

What a rare treat it is to see Willie perform with Ray Charles. Here are two of Americas richest national treasures together singing with mutual respect and admiration. In addition Willie's long time guitarist Jackie King perfoms a few beautiful duets. Jackie is equally at ease in jazz, country swing or R&B settings. And as for Willie, it's appearant that old beat up Martin guitar didn't get that way just knocking around on the tour bus. Willie can hold his own with the best of them. Pick up on Jackie's fine CD "The Gypsy" and you will see exactly what I mean.

Like I said up top, I can't wait till Sunday night, (11-3-02) at the Beacon. Until then I'll just give this DVD another viewing...Enjoy.

Wonderful Music DVD...could watch this one over and over. After watching...I marveled at "how" Willie was in awe of Ray Charles. Two of the best here!!

Super DVD CLASSIC Willie Nelson and a great performance from Mr Ray Charles. Georgia, seven spanash angels and other classic, that will live on forever.

bought as a gift for grandfather in law. he loves it and says its better than a cd. he couldnt be happier

CD arrived on time. Looks like the CD was recorded from Willie's TV show. Good music. I really enjoyed Willie and Ray Charles.

While browsing Amazon.com (one of my favorite things to do!) I ran across this DVD and ordered it. It came today so I sat down and watched it right away. It does indeed sound like Willie is in the room. It is not a "country" dvd..more bluesy/jazz. It has many great songs on it, but "Without A Song" just about brought tears to my eyes. It is a beautiful rendition and my favorite on the dvd. You can't go wrong with this one.

I love Willie. I do not love jazz. I did not like this DVD.

it's too bad Ray Charles wasn't on Longer but Willie Nelson was Great Thru Out this Concert.He has a Rich Tone in His Voice&The way He Plays Guitar is Good as well.The Songs Sound Great.
