Willie plays Grapevine! ???? Throwback to an unforgettable night! ???? Imagine this: It’s a warm spring evening on May 17, 1981. Inside the old Palace Theatre, the Grapevine Opry is in full swing, with nearly 500 excited fans enjoying a fun-filled show. The night takes a wild turn when country superstar Willie Nelson shows up unexpectedly! ????

Fresh from the studio, Willie and his band jump on stage for an impromptu performance. The crowd goes wild as Willie belts out hit after hit, wrapping up with “Whiskey River.” ???? News of Willie’s surprise concert spreads like wildfire, and soon Main Street is packed with fans, even blocking traffic! By the end of the night, Willie’s spontaneous set has everyone buzzing, and the Grapevine Opry’s fame skyrockets. ????

Word on the street is there’s a rare live recording of that magical night. If you were lucky enough to be there or own that CD, you’re holding a piece of country music history! ????✨

Thanks to the Grapevine Historical Society for this info!
