He and the guys performed their superb new album -- The Day The Earth Stood Still -- in pretty much its entirety, and they finished with the loudest and best version of "A Hard Day's Night" I've ever heard that wasn't at a theater showing the movie. One of the greatest rock-and-roll nights of my life. Love you, Willie.
BTW, here's the aforementioned title song from that new album.
Oh, and buy the NEW ALBUM OVER AT AMAZON HERE.
Oh hell, buy all his albums over there, because they're all fucking great.
I should add that The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of my all-time favorite movies, and rock-and-roll didn't really exist when it came out in 1951. If it had, however, Willie's song would have been perfect for the soundtrack.

Willie Nile is a great American rock and roll bard. As you said, all of his albums are great, and he's one of the rare performers who means every word he sings.
