On this day we covered ZZ Top, The Black Keys, Patti Smith, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dwight Yoakam, and Gavin DeGraw. Saturday started on a great note as we have always started for many years… sleeping in late and getting a late lunch at the world’s famous barbeque ribs restaurant, Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous! They have sponsored our Saturday coverage for years and this year they asked us to return next year. We thank both sponsors that helped make these trips possible, Rendezvous and The Best Around Food Concessions! Check out the podcast and/or read the following blog on our Saturday adventures!

The Who returned to Nashville for the first time in many decades. In fact the last time The Who performed in Middle Tennessee was when they had the original lineup including Keith Moon and John Entwistle. That was “The Who By Numbers” tour in the mid 1970’s. Today there are only two original members still living and they are still performing with the energy level and playing ability they’ve always had, even though Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are now in their late 60s. The Who is currently on tour celebrating the anniversary of the Quadrophenia album. Brian Hasbrook and Mike Arnold were looking forward to seeing The Who again, but preferred a greatest hits show instead of a album concept show. Enjoy Mike Arnold’s concert review of The Who in Nashville, TN.

Train In Concert - Pat Monahan - Nashville, TN
Sunday August 5th was a wet dreary day in Nashville, TN, but it didn’t stop the SRO 5,000 plus Train fans to attend the Train concert at the uncovered amphitheater, The Woods at Fontanel. The rain stopped before the crowds appeared at the venue and it looked to be a beautiful night for a concert. Unfortunately the weather forecasted a major storm heading for Nashville, which cut the entire night short for all three acts on this bill. However, Brian Hasbrook was on hand to take the concert photos of Train before the venue shut down the show… ENJOY!
