Let's give this a try...Last time I saw them was in the early 80s when they did the Rossington Collins thing with Dale Kranz singing. The encore was an instrumental of Freebird as a tribute to Ronny. Was so good we went to the next show hundreds of miles away the next day.
Was one of those acts you could see more than once through the years and still look forward to seeing it again.I saw them as Rossington Collins band as well. Rock Superbowl 11, Saturday, July 4, 1981 at Orlando's Tangerine Bowl, aka Citrus Bowl. They were there with Billy Squire, REO Speedwagon, and Foghat. We were on the field about 10 rows (or beach towels) back from the stage and they allowed coolers and well, it was one of the best concert experiences in my life. I had just turned 21. Place was packed and crazy! Sunburned and rocked out all afternoon and half the night. I think it was more an REO Speedwagon show with 3 extended opening acts, but nonetheless it was pretty awesome! October was Rolling Stones and Van Halen, but I couldn't get tix to that one.
I remember some of the songs played, but found the setlist.
