Steger Days of Music - Day 2
Headliner - the legendary David Allan Coe
The night started off hot and humid, 95 degrees, 108 heat index. But once the sun went in, it cooled quickly. But, then, like night 1 - something wicked this way comes! Lightning and rain. Not as bad as the first night, fortunately. About 3 downpours.
The opening band, Johnny V and the Bzzz got their full set in before the rains came.
David Allan Coe went on stage, and the first downpour happened. But, nobody left. His fans were there for the duration! Coe went through his greatest hits, and included stories about working with Johnny Cash and Kid Rock and others - and even sang some Kid Rock material. Coe's voice is still phenomenal and he can still play the guitar. Those who play guitar understand the skill needed to make ones fingers move that way and that fast. Sure, by now, it's all muscle memory for Coe - but that doesn't diminish his talent one bit.
The crowd endured two other downpours - again - none of them leaving - and they enjoyed every second on his set. And, they let him know when loud applause, screams, and whistles. Those who know Coe and those than came to see Coe were not disappointed - not at all.
The show was completed - on the main stage - without the need for the rain-related heroics of the night before.
One thing is for sure, the fans left satisfied!
