Downpour showers and flood warnings couldn't stop Yacht Rock Revue and their list of special guests from sailing into Chastain Park Amphitheater for their annual revival on July 20. The band's trademark precision also translated to the skies, because when they took the stage a little after 8:30pm the rain stopped and the dance floor began to dry.
Yacht Rock Schooner got the party started under the veil of drizzle to serenade the brave poncho wearers and rain delayed crowd. Atlanta's own Starbuck reunited for a special performance and quick set before the classic Yacht Rock troop took the stage.
For nearly two hours, Yacht Rock Revue was joined by original yacht rockers including Bobby Kimball (lead singer of Toto), Bill Champlin formerly Of Chicago, Jeff Carlisi (.38 Special), Robbie Dupree, Elliot Lurie (Looking Glass), and Walter Egan. After hours of shuffling, dancing, duets, harmonies, and nonstop performing the night culminated in a showstopping finale of "Lido" featuring all generations of yacht rockers.
