Country music superstar Alan Jackson kept it country with his Honky Tonk Highway Tour at PPG Paints Arena Saturday night.

The 59-year-old Georgia native displayed his well-known blend of traditional honky tonk and mainstream country style with a 20-song show.

The crowd got a healthy dose of Jackson-penned originals with some classic covers mixed in. "Gone Country" got things started:

Yeee-HAW! He's here! @ppgpaintsarena #alanjackson

Jackson finished the set with "Where I Come From" featuring a big-screen video of iconic Pittsburgh scenes.

The logos of our Pittsburgh sports teams naturally got some cheers from the crowd:

Wave those lights.
