Hank Williams 3*
Pops Concert Venue
Sauget, IL
3-21-12
Hank played the last show of his tour last night in Sauget, IL which is literally 2 minutes outside of St. Louis, MO. Pops is a cool venue. Its been open since the early 80's. I have yet to see a bad show there. The sound is great.
There was not any opening acts. Hank played from 8:15 p.m until about 11:45 p.m.*
Hank came out and sounded great. The crowd was intense for a Hank 3 show, a few pits and a few crowd surfers. Also a few fights. Its hard not to have a few fights at a Hank 3 show. Country Music Rednecks, Metal Heads, Punks, Stoners, etc, Hank 3 draws about as diverse of a crowd as any act out there. Mix that with alcohol and sooner or later there will be idiots starting shit. They played an extremely long country set which was I what I made the drive for. Everyone sounded great, especially Andy Gibson who plays the slide/steel guitar.*
I had leave after Tennessee Driver due to one the ladies I was with getting plastered to the point she could hardly walk. Lol it was still a good time!!! I had a friend who texted me about what I missed.
