This was Nelson’s final big hit single. “Garden Party” is based on his (bad)
experience when performing at the “Rock’n’Roll Spectacular Volume VII” concert
at Madison Square Garden on 15. October 1971. You can check the story here.
His experience may have been bad, but it inspired him to write a great
country song.
