The special was recorded earlier this year over two nights in front of a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl.

"It was great. A little surreal, of course, but I loved every minute of it," Nelson, who had his milestone birthday in April, told host Stephen Colbert when he dropped by The Late Show Thursday night.

He also performed his songs "Whiskey River" and "I Never Cared For You."
