THREE DOG NIGHT - live, in concert ! ! ! !


Legendary music icons, THREE DOG NIGHT, enter their 4th decade bringing with them some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 1969 through 1974, they delivered 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including three #1 singles, eleven Top 10s, eighteen straight Top 20s, seven million-selling singles and twelve straight RIAA Certified Gold LPs.

Perfectly re-creating their larger than life songs with customary impeccable harmonies and exciting arrangement, THREE DOG NIGHT will perfom their hits including "Joy to The World," "Shambala," "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)," "One," "Liar," "Black and White," "Celebrate," and many more of the tracks that drive their chart and sales to success.

THREE DOG NIGHT, which is made up of founding members Cory Wells and Danny Hutton on lead vocals, original band mates Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards), with Michael Allsup (guitar), and completed by Paul Kingery (bass and vocals), Pat Bautz (drums), now perform for audiences spanning generations.

Now, after nearly 40 years together, THREE DOG NIGHT continues to grow its fan base and develop new ways of doing business. They maintain an aggressive schedule of concerts at theater, performing art centers, fairs, festivals, corporate events, and casinos. Since 1986, they have performed over 2,000 shows including two Super Bowls.

Wachovia Amphitheater
This is an outdoor venue located on the grounds in the center of the Misecordia University campus, a short walk from multiple free parking areas. The Wachovia Amphitheater was constructed in 1999, and is the site of many campus events including fall convocation, as well as outdoor concerts and plays. A map of campus can be found under the campus virtual tour section.
 

Showtime
Showtime for all events is 8:00 pm. Gates open at approximately 7:00 pm.
 

Seating
With the intimate size of the Wachovia Amphitheater and expansive surrounding lawn, there is not a bad seat in the house!

  • Amphitheater seating is a flatstone and grass area built into the natural slope of the rolling lawn which semi-circles the stage. Seating is enhanced with stadium seats and folding chairs. While the section is generally not reserved, actual seating placement is on a first-come, first-served basis.
     
  • Lawn seating is the grassy expanse directly behind and to the sides of amphitheater seating and allows for a variety of views. Bring your lawnchair or blanket. The acoustics and ambiance remain excellent to make an evening of live music under the stars an enjoyable experience.
     
  • Festival Table seating is very limited at each show and may be positioned on the concrete pad in front of the stage, and some on the side grassy wings or on the top view above the amphitheater. Tables are reserved seating marked with your party's name.
