The remnants of Hurricane Floyd pounded central New York when Willie Nelson was scheduled to perform in Verona. Vertical rain, high winds, and a few downed trees made for slow, careful travel to the venue. The concert was delayed an hour to allow time for traffic delays.

After the encore the band continued to play as Willie signed autographs from the stage.

He wore a Kris Kristofferson tee shirt during his performance and drank out of a Willie Nelson mug while relaxing in his tour bus.
