More than 12,000 music enthusiasts showed up to the Gibbston Valley Winery on Saturday to see 1970s groups the Little River Band and the Doobie Brothers.
Those walking through the vineyard gates were decades-old fans there to listen to the music made specifically for their era and those around the park all shared the same opinion of "they haven't lost it yet".
Local bands Dubside, the Hunting Bears, the Station Agents and Cruise Control warmed up the crowd before Australian rockers the Little River Band came out to a waiting mosh pit.
The lead vocalist, Wayne Nelson, greeted the excited fans who had come from all corners of Otago with "Welcome, Queenstown New Zealand".
Noticing the age bracket of his loyal fan base in front of him, the band played the old favourites with the newest song coming from 1982.
"This next song was written when you couldn't be tweeted, you couldn't be texted and you couldn't be found. All you needed was a bottle of Jack Daniels, a field this big and a CD of the Little River Band and Doobie Brothers. Welcome back to 1978," he said before beginning crowd favourite Reminiscing.
Gibbston Valley Winery chief executive Greg Hunt said he was pleased with the crowd and formalities of the concert.
"Everyone seemed to be having a good time. We had good weather on a great Central Otago day."
Mr Hunt said there were no traffic hold-ups, a concern the organisers had been working on after last year's concert when there were hour-long delays towards Queenstown and Cromwell. The concert was the last of a three-show tour for the two bands, which played to more than 40,000 fans in Taupo, Whitianga and Queenstown over the past week.
Police pulled over six people for drink-driving, three directly from the concert, a police spokesman said.
Meanwhile, 4000 people showed up to the Highlanders' preseason match with the Chiefs at Queenstown Recreation Ground on Saturday.
