Neil Young, Margo Price & Others Join Willie Nelson At Stagecoach

On Saturday, Willie Nelson celebrated his 84th birthday with a performance at the Stagecoach Music Festival. The outlaw country icon was joined at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California by a number of special guests during his set, including Neil Young.

Nelson’s performance also saw sit-ins by fellow Stagecoach performers Margo Price, Jamey Johnson and John Doe of the band X. Nelson’s set began with “Whiskey River” and was dotted with other favorites such as “On The Road Again,” “Good Hearted Woman,” “Crazy,” “Still Is Still Moving To Me” and “Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,”

Price, Johnson and Doe emerged for renditions of “Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die,” “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” and “I’ll Fly Away.” Following a sing-along “Happy Birthday To You,” Young came on to jam on harmonica with Mickey Raphael.

Here’s a brief clip of Neil and Mickey’s duel shared by Margo Price:
