You're Looking At Country (featuring Willie Nelsons 4th of July Party)
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
Join us for a blowout celebration of all things outlaw in this third annual edition of a program hosted by Texas guitar god turned Seattle singer/songwriter Ian Moore.
Moore grew up tagging along with his parents to shows in Austin and Luckenbach, and attended Willies picnics from the time he was barely out of diapers. Hes the perfect tour guide for this time machine time machine ride back to the sexy 70s, when musicians like Willie, Waylon, and Kris blazed the trail to reach new heights in the virile art of low down, longhair country crooning.
The evening will include a short, whiskey-soaked set by Moore, footage of legendary country performers caught in subversive Nixon-era performances, and a rare screening of a documentary that chronicles Willies very own version of Woodstock. Liquid refreshments will be available.
Willy Nelson's 4th of July Party
(Yabo Yablonski, USA, 1979, 35mm, 100 minutes)
Talk about high times! This seldom-screened documentary was shot over the course of three summer days and nights in 1974 at Willie Nelsons 2nd annual 4th of July bash in College Station, Texas. Drunken performers, topless girls and heartbreakingly good music meld here to create an incandescent record of a moment in American musical history that everyone knew, even then, was simply too white-hot to last.
Note: Seating is guaranteed up to 10 minutes prior to showtime.
