Chock full of rockers that got the heart pounding as well as the fists, 38 Special appeared to be having fun. Vocalist Donnie Van Zant roamed the stage with a noticeable hitch in his giddy-up, playing around with Chauncey and flashing a million watt smile. Barnes was more the calm-cool-and-collected guy, unlike his 1980’s persona, but his playing was not cold by any means.
