After the positive reception of her first concert special’s YouTube re-launch, country superstar Reba McEntire is gearing up for round two.

Arriving this Friday (August 28) for its digital debut, Reba In Concert will take fans back in time to another of McEntire’s iconic performances. The concert was originally filmed in 1990 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, and now stands as a dedication to the late members of McEntire’s original band. They’re featured in this concert film, but tragically lost their lives in a plane crash the following year.

“This show is very special to me because it features my friends that we lost in a plane crash 29 years ago,” McEntire shares. “Their love for music and incredible talents deserve to be seen again, and I’m so glad that we’re getting the chance to stream this concert for the first time ever. I can’t wait to watch it and I hope they will feel all the love we still have for them.”

 Aside from the meaningful dedication, the concert special will also feature 16 theatrical performances including “Fancy,” “You Lie” and “Whoever’s In New England” — plus a stunning series of stage gowns and that unmistakable ’80s-diva hair. Reba In Concert premieres at 7:30 pm CT, and the star will celebrate by chatting with fans on her YouTube page.

It’s just the latest in a series of re-release news from McEntire’s lately. Last month, her 1994 concert special Reba: Live arrived on YouTube, and on September 11 she’ll revive her 1990 album, Rumor Has It, 30 years after that milestone project first came out.
