Currently in its fifth decade of performing, Three Dog Night returns to the Alabama Theatre. Between 1969 and 1974, no other group achieved more top 10 hits, moved more records or sold more concert tickets than this band. The group’s hits continue to be popular today, whether on the radio, in TV commercials, or in movies. The band’s famous moniker refers to native Australian hunters in the outback who huddled with their dogs for warmth on cold nights, the coldest being a “three dog night.” Alabama Theatre, 4750 Hwy. 17 S. Saturday, 7 p.m. $42 +. (843) 272-1111, www.alabama-theatre.com
