IF I'D BEEN THE ONE - 38 SPECIAL - SQUARE FAIR - LIMA OHIO

[@XlegendsX71]

band is so so under rated. 38 special is so great. In my opinion,. one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time.

[@bradley7301]

Agreed

[@RandyClark-z3f]

I agree and I'm going to see them in 2 weeks at the california state fair

I love 38 special, and totally agree...so underrated

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

There's a lot of contenders.

[@michelethompson7300]

Favorite 38 Special song. If you didn't get to be a teen in the 80's, I'm sorry. It was the Best.

Don Barnes is phenomenal singer…..a true band

[@brentlien3999]

Going on 40 years, Donnie Van Zant still doesn't realize his guitar isn't plugged in. Love that dude.

[@scotthunt2479]

None of them have a hard guitar cable. Instead, they are using wireless. Stop the screen at 5:04 and you'll see the wireless unit attached to Donnie's guitar strap.

[@pawadventures5544]

LOL! That's funny. They are all using wireless transmitters.

[@MeTuLHeD]

Does Donnie even do anything here other than strum the acoustic? I can hear it in the mix, so it IS plugged in. Likely wireless.

[@fortagband8262]

Donnie's wireless is a block of wood with a cable attached. So no it's not on.

[@MikeRambo]

@@pawadventures5544 Cliff Williams (AC/DC) and the late Gary Richrath (REO Speedwagon) was using guitar cables in the 2010's

Underated by the industry, should still this on the radio !! Thanks brothers🎵👍

[@SaintChauvin69]

If I'd Been the One was a #19 hit in 1983, but gets no airplay now. Only Hold On Loosely and Caught Up In You get played now. Caught Up In You hit #10, but Hold On Loosely only hit #27, meaning If I'd Been the One charted higher. Bizarre how some bands only have 1 or 2 hits survive on classic rock radio, even if they had other higher-charting singles in their prime.

[@puckrocker854]

Total shredder of a tune. Years ago at the Minnesota State Fair I come around the corner to one of the free music stages which are usually good for a song or two and then keep moving. So I say to my friend as we're walking by "This band playing 'Hold On Loosely' sounds EXACTLY LIKE 38 Special. Turns out it WAS 38 Special. On a free stage. We stayed and watched the whole rest of the set.

[@hausf.kartreit1111]

I paid 4 times to see LYNYRD☠️SKYNYRD play Big Concerts in their Home Town of Jacksonville Florida. They didn't show up for the 1975 Sunshine Jam in the Gator Bowl Stadium that they were headlining & another time they cut the Concert short due to RVZ bleeding vocal cords. They played Freebird instrumental. Gary Rossington came out when everyone was screaming for an encore. He said a few words that nobody could hear & let the Mic fall over. I'm still a SKYNYRD FAN but 38 SPECIAL did more for the Jacksonville community than SKYNYRD ever thought about doing. I never paid for a 38 SPECIAL concert but I saw them 3 times for free. Same with Molly Hatchet✌️🤠☮️
