ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd rocked Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on the Camden Waterfront for a memorable celebration of Rock & Roll on Sunday, September 17. The show was the only stop in the Philadelphia area on the ‘Sharp Dressed Simple Man’ Tour.

For Lynyrd Skynyrd, classics never die. “That Smell,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” and the “Free Bird” encore got the crowd involved as much as any songs. Billy Gibbons and company hit the stage at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion with "Got Me Under Pressure," which reignited a crowd with excellent energy for both performances.

From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.
