There were expectation Hurricane Ivan's remnants would rain out shows at the TN Valley Fair (where the Knack performed Wed.), but the front headed over the mountains and dry weather prevailed Friday as long-time Southern Rockers & A&M artists 38 Special took the stage.
While they're promoting their new album DRIVETRAIN, the set included most of their familiar hits from the A&M era. SInger/Frontman Donnie Van Zant held an unplugged guitar when he wasn't twirling the mike stand. There was good sound quality and a larger crowd compared to Wednesday.
Here's what we heard:
Rocking Into the Night
20th Century Fox
Back Where You Belong
Wild Eyed Southern Boys
"Putting the Squeeze On You"
If I'd Been the One
Rebel to Rebel
Fantasy Girl
Hurts Like Love -- from new album
Extended Drum Solo
Red Lights
Somebody Like You
Teacher, Teacher
"We'll Be Rocking"
Stone Cold Believer
This Night
Second Chance
Caught Up in You
Encore: Chain Lightning/ Hold On Loosely/ Back in the USA/ Traveling Band (CCR cover).
The fair continues through tomorrow, when A&M vets The Gin Blossoms are scheduled to perform. Concerts are free with admission. What a deal!
