From the DVD "Willie Nelson and Friends - Live & Kickin", it was Willie Nelson's 70th birthday party at New York City's famed Beacon Theatre on April 9, 2003. Leon and Willie take a verse, of this Leon Russell original, and let Ray finish it up, as only Ray (one-take) could. He died not long after this. Thanks Ray.

Was lucky enough to go to this AMAZING concert. I met Leon Russell & Eric Clapton in Tulsa, OK, in the early '70s. They invited me to meet them at Cain's Ballroom later that night. I was unashamedly in LUST with Clapton, so I didn't hesitate to meet them. When I found my way to Cains, Eric & Leon were seated with Bobby Dylan, Willie Nelson & Jerry Jeff Walker. I was DUMBSTRUCK & AWESTRUCK & definitely in the RIGHT PLACE at the RIGHT TIME. Great memories. Leon's hair wasn't even white then. ;)

Reflecting on greatness....as I get older I find this this kind of talent is lost to us eventually. Hoping my children get to experience something similar to this in there lifetime. Sadness, but happy to be there in that moment. To truly live life. Thanks for the moment Leon, Willie, Ray.

This is a rare chance to see such greatness! I have listened to lots of music and seen my fair share of live preformances, and I must say that I truly enjoyed this video, and I do hope that many young people from this generation will take the time to enjoy the blues and understand the depth of what the music means.++++++++
