The year was 1993. I was living in Montgomery, Alabama. The band Alabama was scheduled to perform at Garrett Coliseum. I was excited about going. I had been listening to Alabama for years during my country music phase, but I had never had the chance to see them in person. So, we went. The opening acts were pretty lousy so we went outside to wait for the SHOW to start. Well, the SHOW was nothing more than a medley of their greatest hits. They played about 45 minutes consisting of the hooks from their best songs. Not one song was performed in its entirety. Disappointed? Extremely. Oh, and the opening acts we walked out on? Lorie Morgan and Clint Black. Who knew? At the time they were nobodies.........
