The band tore into "Rockin' Into The Night" to the delight of the excited fans who came from across the state to see one of A&M's biggest sellers of all time, who as label mates of Bryan Adams and The Police, they and their repertoire have stood the test of time.
Barnes gave his double-cut Les Pauls a good workout even providing us with a blistering solo on his green tiger-striped model before bandmates guitarist Danny Chauncey and drummer Gary Moffatt followed suit with solos of their own. Keyboardist Bobby Capps showed his range on the hard rockin' "Good Time Tonight" in which he incorporates an impressive vocal range reminiscent of AC/DC's Brian Johnson.
It was here that the night really began to heat up as the band tore into the ZZ Top classic "Just Got Paid" and then their chart-topping classic "Caught Up In You".
The band left the stage and the crowd brought them back out for a well-deserved encore where the sounds of thunder claps and lighting bolts advised the crowd that 38 Special was back and after a massive rendition of "Chain Lightnin'" and "Hold On Loosely" which the crowd sang along to, they still treated us to a raucous version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Traveling Band" before going off into the night after the greatest rock show to ever hit Eagle Pass.
