ORANGE BEACH, Ala. - Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top rocked the Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach Sunday, performing their classic rock hits in front of thousands of fans and leaving little doubt the rock icons were worth the ticket.

The opening acts, Thomas Rhett and Tyler Farr, took the stage at a little after 7 p.m. and ended around 7:45 p.m. At exactly 8 p.m., Skynyrd led off their set with “Working for MCA.” They continued with classic songs like “What’s Your Name,” “That Smell,” “Gimme Back My bullets,” “Simple Man,” “Gimme Three Steps” and “Sweet Home Alabama.” After leaving the stage for a bit, only to have audience members follow by holding up their lighters and requesting arguably the most famous Skynyrd song, the band members returned for an encore and rousing rendition of “Free Bird.”

After 75 minutes of straight-up southern rock, Skynyrd left the stage with thousands of attendees screaming for more and cheering in thanks. The band also played “Down South Jukin’,” “Skynyrd Nation,” “T for Texas” and “I Aint the One.”

ZZ Top hit the stage at 9:45 p.m. after a 30-minute intermission and played until 11 p.m. They led off with “Got Me Under Pressure” and continued with well-known hits like “Gimme all your lovin’,” “I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Cheap Sunglasses,” “La Grange” and “Legs,” and ended with “Toosh.” The band also played “Waitin’ for the Bus,” “Jesus Just Left Chicago,” “Party on the Patio,” “Future Blues” and “My Head’s in Mississippi.”
