Definitely remember both. I couldn't quite get the B-52s to work in any category, but I went back and listened to them recently and they were really very original back in the day.
"Original" is a very good way of putting it. One of those bands where most of their stuff is just too unconventional but every once in a while crank out a classic. It makes you wonder how such a consistently weird sounding band came up with an absolute rock masterpiece in Rock Lobster.
I'm not that old but I did see them at Legion Field. I think that was 1988???
I know Zac Brown personally, he lived here in Carrollton while he was attending the University of West Georgia and played all of the local bars. I met him at a bar called Loco's one night because he needed a bass player so I sat in with him and played a few songs. He's a really cool guy!!! My boss was in the same fraternity with Zac and knew him well. We both took off one weekend back in 2017 and went up to Zacs house and chilled with him, drank beer and road four wheelers.
I am definitely not a country fan, but I would absolutely go to a Zac Brown concert.
Zac absolutely comes across as real and genuine. And man.....that band is extremely talented. Has to be the most talented group of musicians in country music.....although Union Station is pretty talented as well.
Zac Brown's cover of Bulls on Parade is awesome.
My dad was a West Georgia "Brave" and my mom worked for Newt when he was at West Georgia
Yeah, Zac is really laid back and well reserved when he needs to be but he can party with the best of them.
Not only saw them but knew them. Buts that's nothing, I do hope Dawgnation member @TomGrose chimes in. He's worked with too many legends of music to even list. Those old enough to remember the ATL music scene in the 80ties may remember him as Tom Grose and the Varsity.
@TurkDawg - was at that coliseum show, tons of fun, probably stepped on your foot as we were dancing our Idaho’s off- sorry. Thing I remember hearing was that the band was pissed it wasn’t sold out/packed to the gills.

Neil Peart- “Vital Signs” (Moving Pictures , 1981)
I feel ya on the Commodores. My very first concert was seeing them at the Omni way back in the day. Very good show
I saw the Commodores in Athens. Maybe why that was my favorite. I think it was in 1981. (Maybe 1980, I'm not sure)
I don’t have a whole lot of respect for Zac Brown. Well before this pandemic, he developed a reputation for not paying his people well, if not being kind of greedy. Then he solidified it when the pandemic hit by laying off 90% of his crew on March 19th. That was kind of early to send everyone packing.
No intention to sound harsh, friend.
This is what I imagine the B52s playing in some Fraternity basement back in the day...
He's so good. He's what I wish country today sounded more like. But the kidos want their pop beats with twang.
I like that a lot of his stuff has strong Jimmy Buffet beach-life influences, and that from what I have seen on videos he throws in a lot of classic rock stuff in concert.
Interesting. That's the first I've heard of anything like that. I don't know all the in's and out's, but it is still a business. Plus, I don' think his sales are what they once were. I try not to judge things like that to hard. Once you start tasting success, lot's hands start reaching into the cookie jar. Lower sales, recent divorce, .... I dunno, the great fountain of money doesn't last forever.
My brother is a music producer with a double platimum album. EVERYONE in the music business is hurting. He's basically living off of royalties right now.
This amazing video of kids performing Rush’s “Spirit of Radio” came across my YouTube feed while looking up some of these songs. Check out these incredibly talented youngsters!
