Many lazy journalists have ascribed the “national treasure” label to musicians who’ve hardly earned the title. However, when it comes to Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, 92 and 84, respectively, that sentiment is indisputable.

It’s an occasion any time two of the greatest living songwriters share a stage. When that stage happens to be one of the most beautiful venues in the country, there’s bound to be a little magic.
