Reba McEntire will re-launch her Reba Live concert special on YouTube on July 17.

Filmed in 1994 at the Omaha Civic Center, the special initially aired on NBC in November 1994. The hour-long special features Reba performing 12 songs, including “They Asked About You,” “Is There Life Out There,” “Walk On,” “Fancy” and more, as well as covers of Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and Aretha Franklin’s “Respect.”

“This was one of my first big tours with all the dancers and costume changes, and it was my very first network television special,” says Reba. “It’s so much fun to get to revisit it and share it with my fans all these years later! I hope they enjoy it and I can’t wait to share some stories from the behind the scenes during the chat.”

The show also features Reba as “Flucy” in a special Thanksgiving-themed I Love Lucy spoof. This is the first time the show has been streamed since its original 1994 airing on NBC and subsequent commercial VHS release.

The special will premiere at 7 p.m. CT on July 17 via YouTube, featuring Reba celebrating with fans via chat.
