Lady Antebellum Performs at Wis. Gas Station

Makeup concert meant to apologize for "worst gig ever" comment
RICHFIELD, Wis. -- Lady Antebellum revisited its "worst gig ever" in suburban Milwaukee. The country music trio, best known for the song "Need You Now," performedseveral songs and took questions from the crowd during a free concert last Thursday outside a Richfield, Wis., Mobil gas station, said the Associated Press.

Before the group became famous, it performed at a local gas station-restaurant at the crack of dawn during opening day of Wisconsin's deer hunting season.

Singer Charles Kelley had told Entertainment Weekly magazine about the 2007 performance, [image-nocss] calling it the group's "worst gig ever."

"Everybody was sitting there eating," singer Charles Kelley told the magazine. "They didn't know who the hell we were."

The makeup concert was organized by WMIL-FM because Lady Antebellum was already set to play a sold-out show Thursday night at the Riverside Theater, reported The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
