Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top will perform as the headliners at MGK's Big Gig 2023 as part of the Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour.
The annual celebration of Philly's best classic rock station will take place at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on the Camden Waterfront on September 17, 2023. Tickets are on sale now to see the tour's only stop in the Philadelphia area.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The quintessential Southern Rock band originally formed in 1973.
They rose to a status as one of the most iconic bands of the golden era of Rock & Roll. A tragic plane crash killed three band members and six people total in 1977. However, Lynyrd Skynyrd has shown resilience in the decades following the tragedy, even earning a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2006.
Hits like “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Free Bird,” and “Simple Man” still play constantly nearly 50 years after their release.
Their easily identifiable connection with southern culture has also helped maintain the band’s image over a long period of time.
The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour
The two Rock & Roll giants have begun the cleverly-named "Sharp Dressed, Simple Man Tour." The name is an homage to one hit single from each of the two bands. Their first tour together will include stops in 22 cities in the United States. They’ll save the best for last, as MGK Big Gig will be their final show.
ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with special guest Uncle Kracker, kicked off the tour on Friday, July 21 at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. The setlists from both bands included some of their biggest hits. However, they also did an excellent job of mixing in some of their lesser-known work.
Their trip to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in September will continue a tradition that’s become the signature event of 102.9 WMGK.
Take a peek at the Lynyrd Skynyrd setlist from the tour’s first show to warm up. Then, move over to hear ZZ Top’s setlist next.

What's Your Name
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?
That Smell
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
And one more drink fool, will drown you
Ooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Whiskey Rock-a-Roller
I'm headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis town to play a late night show
I hope the people are ready there 'cause the boys are all ready to go
The Needle and the Spoon
It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away
Saturday Night Special
Mister Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
That ain't good for nothin'
But puttin' men six feet in a hole
The Ballad of Curtis Loew
Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care
He used to own an old dobro used to play it across his knees
I'd give old Curt my money he'd play all day for me
Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Well I got your drinking money tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
I Know a Little
Well the bigger the city well the brighter the lights
The bigger the dog well the harder the bite
I don't know where you been last night
But I think Mama you ain't doin' right
Tuesday's Gone
Well Tuesday, you see
Oh, she had to be free, Lord but
Somehow I got to carry on, Lordy
Tuesday's gone, with the wind
Simple Man
Take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above
Gimme Three Steps
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more
Call Me the Breeze
They call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Sweet Home Alabama
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin
Free Bird
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
