Any Skynyrd fans out here know what the absolute very earliest footage of the band is? I know I saw a clip of them playing on "Earth Day" in Jacksonville, Fla., when they were first getting started (on the Freebird Movie DVD) .... is there anything earlier than that? Or recordings earlier than that? .. I'm a fanatic for history of this band.
10 years older, yes. 10 years wiser, maybe, 10 years better? Not a fucking chance boys, Skynyrd will never be as good, not without Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines.
I read a comment somewhere that said neither Steve nor Allen made "Rolling Stone"magazine's top 100 guitarist. I would have them top 5 ever.(probably 1-2) oh yeah , Ronnie had it right when he asked"WHO THE FUCK ARE THE ROLLING STONES ANYWAY''
@xkxlxkx That great solo was 100% Steve Gaines.....though the video makes it look like Ed King was playing it initially. Since the band reunited in 87 to now I don't think they have ever attempted that version of Alabama on stage. Don't know if it is out of reverance for Gaines or that nobody can play those licks like he did.

What a shame. They just ruined they're legacy when they did this. Ronnie was Skynyrd. Period...

Ed King left in 1975, Steve Gaines joined in 1976. In 1987 Ed was back and sadly, Steve is gone ... full circle.
