The who’s-who guest list featured greats, the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Sheryl Crow, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Emmylou Harris, Dave Matthews Snoop Dogg. Gov’t Mule leader Warren Haynes was part of the shows as well and tells us that it was one of the most memorable nights of his career:<\/p>\n
“That was fantastic. Y’know, being around all those people for three or four days — we did rehearsals and the two nights at the show — it was just an amazing lineup, and I feel like Willie’s the only person that could’ve pulled that together, all those people together, egos checked at the door. It was just fantastic.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
