'Yeah, Oh Yeah': Fans still love Jett's rock 'n' roll
from: LubbockOnline.com
JOAN JETT has always enjoyed a strong core following in Lubbock, dating back to the times she packed the rock 'n' roll club Rox. Saturday night's concert at the Fair Park Coliseum at the Panhandle-South Plains Fair was not even her first appearance on that unlikely stage.
Jett was a last-minute replacement for Stevie Ray Vaughan in September 1990, called in after Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash.
Saturday night's show, while not her most intense, may be one of her most memorable in Lubbock, if only because she now works her audiences with more than a snarl and a power chord.
