MESSAGE FROM UMG NASHVILLE: WOW ! Everything is set…you will be able to find the two Atlanta albums tomorrow at all digital partners (Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, etc.).
I am so happy to have found “Atlanta”! Truly a class act with amazing sound. Love catching up on the songs. I had a cassette tape way back when and it got lost along the way. Thrilled to see and hear this wonderful group!
@@billpackardmagic , I remember, first band that recorded at Cheshire Sound Studios in Atlanta when I started there, studio manager. What was it, 10 band members?
I saw these guys in 83 or 84 at Canden Park in Huntington West Virginia. Totally awesome. Last song was Blue side of the Grey. Someone got on top of the ampi theater and started waving the battle flag.......the place went nuts. Thanks for all the music guys.
Camden Park, Huntington WV, July 4, 1985. If that's the one where we opened for Lee Greenwood ("God Bless the USA"), that was definitely a memorable concert.
I saw them at the Hancock county fair in the 80's I was on the Jr fair board we helped set up and tear down the band was so impressed they gave everyone that helped a T-shirt after that was the night I got my first taste of love and it was heaven on earth
They need to come together again an performance in state to state ...fellows are wonderful an there music is with elvis Presley music in my playlist ....he would love them to if he was alive
The Band Atlanta was: New in '82 Something to see in '83 There was more in '84 Stayed alive in '85 Tried to fix in '86 No Heaven in '87 Too late in '88 Some of the guys got back together for a Reunion album and even did a concert or two.
Great song I love this song one of favorites. A friend of mine from New Jersey family used to own the country western radio station it was called Sterling country in Sterling New Jersey. He would play the song for me all the time on the time . AM radio. Then they had this GJ his last name was hunt but I forgot his first name he was really cool and did a great 👍
Too bad we can't have country acts like this anymore. Musicians ,vocalists, storytellers....the real deal. The new crew can keep their "88s". Don't need em in my country
hello Bill Packard this is Kevin Carr, I did the lights for Atlanta back in 84-85 what are all the guys doing nowadays ? Gary Nolan ,Ray I heard about Tony... that was some fun times I had working with ATLANTA
Hi, Kevin! We lost Allen Collay around the same time as Tony. Tony's funeral was the last time I saw everyone. Alan David had a stroke about a month ago, not able to play again yet, but is recovering. Check out the other Atlanta videos on my RUclips channel. ruclips.net/user/billpackard0594

What a damn shame they're not around anymore. I loved this band when I was in 8th grade (1983-84).
I miss this group. So much talent.....

One of the most underrated bands.
Played this hit on my first DJ gig 1280 WONW Defiance Ohio 1983! Great song!! Thanks Atlanta!
I'd love to hear Home Free do some covers of your great songs from the 80s!
That would be a treat!

The Band Atlanta was:
New in '82
Something to see in '83
There was more in '84
Stayed alive in '85
Tried to fix in '86
No Heaven in '87
Too late in '88

I love this song
Not only is it a good song with great vocals, but as a first release it implied that the band Atlanta was hot!
Ricky, as far as I know, the only songs available on iTunes are Sweet Country Music and Pictures. It's all up to MCA.
One of my most favorite songs! Thanks for posting it!
Like this song!!! This What You Call Real Country...... Todays Country SUCKS!!!!!
loved this song since i first heard it on cmt when was about 15
Finally figured out where Luke Bryan gets his moves from. That harmonica player almost went full Magic Mike. 😃😃😃
💘

Great producer (Milan Bogdan), bad manager (although we never would have existed without him).
Hi Bill. Do you know if "Atlanta Burned Again Last Night" will ever be available on iTunes?

Thank you so much Bill
You made my day
Thanks. I have the 45 but no way to play it. Can I get this on my iPad. If so, how.
"Atlanta Burned Again Last Night" is available on iTunes! So are "Sweet Country Music" and "Why Not tonight?"
Couldn't find them on iTunes, so I downloaded the You Tube video you posted and converted it to MP3. It's on my iPhone now.
Sorry but this sounds a hell of a lot better than the bullshit on the radio these days
hi
And they was intimidating to Alabama back then. Just bad producers.
