RICHFIELD, Wis. - Lady Antebellum is reliving its "worst gig ever" in suburban Milwaukee.

The country trio, best known for the crossover song "Need You Now," will perform two to three songs and take questions from the crowd during a free concert Thursday outside a Richfield gas station.

They're calling it a repeat of their "Worst Gig Ever" when, before they became famous, they 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 a magazine about the 2007 performance, calling it the "worst gig ever," and a Milwaukee country station invited them back.

The band is playing a sold-out performance at The Riverside Theater Thursday night.
