The band that melded Southern Fried Rock with Arena Rock in the Eighties played at the Civic Center in Portland 29 years ago today. That band was 38 Specialformed by childhood friends Donnie Barnes and Donnie Van Zant (Ronnie and Johnny's Brother) in 1974. They came to Blimpville on their Strength in Numbers tour on July 8, 1986 with Canada's Honeymoon Suite opening the show. New songs Like No Other Night and Somebody Like You were blastin' on the airwaves of WBLM and we heard 'em live for the first time that night at the CCCC that night. Of course they also played Hold On Loosely, Caught Up In You, Rockin' Into The Night and more. Let's relive another great Civic Center show on your ride home from work

Join us tonight at 5:20 for live 38 Special on the WBLM Mini-Concert!
