More than 100,000 Reba McEntire fans enjoyed her 1994 special Reba: Live last month, and now they have another show to look forward to: McEntire’s 1990 show at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, will premiere at 7:30 p.m. Central Friday, August 28, on her YouTube channel. Reba in Concert is a 16-song set that features some of her biggest hits including “Fancy,” “Whoever’s in New England,” and “You Lie.” Even more special to Reba and fans, the show also includes original band members whose lives were lost in a plane crash the following year.
