What Happened at the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner Tour Opener in Alpharetta?

Rain fell over Ameris Bank Amphitheatre as the two classic-rock bands took the stage for the first night of the co-headlining run. Lynyrd Skynyrd opened its set with “Workin’ for MCA” and worked through staples including “That Smell,” “Gimme Three Steps,” and “Sweet Home Alabama” before closing the night with “Free Bird.” During “Tuesday’s Gone,” the band paid tribute to Gary Rossington, the group’s late co-founding guitarist.

Lynyrd Skynyrd told the Alpharetta crowd, “Atlanta, might have been the loudest city yet!” The band also worked in a J.J. Cale cover of “Call Me the Breeze” and closed the full performance with “Happy Trails,” the Roy Rogers song long used as the group’s traditional set-ending farewell.

Foreigner largely stuck to its well-known hits, running through “Double Vision,” “Cold as Ice,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” and “Juke Box Hero.” The band added a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” into the mix and closed its encore with “Hot Blooded” after “Long, Long Way From Home” and “I Want to Know What Love Is.”
