Southern Rock Hits the Xfinity Center with Lynyrd Skynyrd
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd headlined the evening, led by lead vocalist and rock and roll royalty, Johnny Van Zant. Van Zant was accompanied by co-founder Gary Rossington and longtime member Ricky Medlocke. The band was solid as they performed their classics “What’s Your Name,” "That Smell,” “Saturday Night Special,” “Tuesday’s Gone,” “Simple Man,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” and their smash “Free Bird.”
38 Special put on an equally tight show, as original member Don Barnes delivered the goods, backed by talented longtime bandmates Danny Chauncey on guitar, and Bobby Capps on keyboards. The crowd rocked to old favorites “Rockin’ Into The Night,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Caught Up In You,” and “Hold On Loosely.”
