[imfree707]

I was there! Thanks for posting.

[KyleGarton0413]

thats me in the third row......

I was there with some of the bands that played.

great memories.

[dubbeldeef]

its mono

[Tickbryan]

@dubbeldeef , sorry it's mono but I didn't own a stereo vcr in 1987.

[mooveymon]

@Tickbryan you could take it into a video editing program and make it fake stereo, it would still be better the just hearing it from 1 speaker

[txlastrebel]

@Tickbryan don't worry man at least you got it.

[wweoutsider91]

If allen didnt get in that car wreck theres no dout in my mind he would of played that show any still be in the band today

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

When i first heard this i thought the ole boys were singing about some pussy that had gone bad!

[007jkirk]

great song love it cant w8 till i get my guitar im learing this 1 !!!

[007jkirk]

love this video its amazing yeah lynyrd skynyrd!

[CarolinaLandshark]

I was at this show and it was definitely Artimus!!!

[pittadrum8]

clearly Artimus to anyone who plays he has his own style!

[Wawasawhe]

Can't you smell that smell....................

[Smeagol3019]

Real neat to see Ed play Steve's part on this...

[Uebervater]

omg it's mono :(

[jeffj55]

the smell is pot lulz

[gl797]

This is great and very true to the original song but I can't help but get a very sad feeling though everytime I hear LS. Ronnie was the best singer ever imo.

[wozjj]

....lacks the stage presence of Collins and Medlocke!

[92hatchh22a]

needless to say if doc brown ever rolls up in the delorean i will be in attendance for this show. you're just a fool, just a fool, just a fool.....

[jayskinner51]

not the same at all

[PWRiley13]

Everyone's got a bad case of the eighties attire here...but it sounds good!

[rockinredneck57]

Wasn't that Randall Hall on third guitar? Haven't seen much with him, he is good! Allen hand picked him to be his replacement, he had to be good!

[Beachdad33]

@Tickbryan

That is Artimus Pyle Playing Drums, I have met 3 times doing drum clinics/Benefits here in Florida and he has mentioned every time that he Flew back for the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam in 1987, and if you look at the facial shots toward the end of the video, there is no question that is Artimus..

Just saw them Friday night, great show!

[beavaboi19]

ever body iut anit artimus okay he holds the drum sticks difrently and fuking plays this song diffrently look at the original live version and u will see man

[rockinredneck57]

@beavaboi19 Dude, give it up. It was Artimus Pyle. They said it was, he said it was. What more proof do you need? Plus I saw him about the same time on a video shoot and they introduced him.

[GBeret83]

Carol Bristow is smoking hot!!!!!! I know that much. LOL.

[fawkthescene666]

the guitar tones are excellent. my god!

[robvonky]

except artimus about 6 notes in he stumbld a lil but not much

[SuperD104]

artimus didnt scew up on anything check your ears fool.

[phallystorm]

All 4 Solos were note for Note spot on Perfect!!!

[Tickbryan]

O.K. here is the last word on whether that is Artimus Pyle or not. Google "Artimus Pyle Bio" and read it for yourself,

"In 1987, the Skynyrd reunion was being planned, and the time came for a drummer to be found. At this time Arti was living and working in Jerusalem. He was on a plane home to America within 24 hours, with a plan that he would commute between his home in Israel and the Tribute Tour in America. He rejoined his former colleagues for the Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Tour in 1987

[GBeret83]

@Tickbryan, this is absolutely Artimus Pyle drumming!!! I'm 100% sure of it. Just with shorter hair, and no beard!!!

[MsOldGregg]

At 1:33 Gary catches Johnny's eye and gives him a reassuring look.

[vdbdg]

what an emotion it must have been to hit that first chord 10 years later. It's great to see Ed King. Gary's tone is amazing as usual. Johnny was shitting bricks surely but did great

[mvcbaseballer09]

Epic.

[susielazarus]

My good lord , what guitar playing , could some tell me the names of the Axe men pls ?

[EXGREENBERET47]

AXE MEN ??

[MrSkynyrdfan]

Gary Rossington, Ed KIng and Randall Hall

[Ajbadboy252]

ED King Gary Rossington Randall Hall

[Heartlander2]

I was there. Unforgettable.

THANKS!

[pitchforkj]

Ok, if it makes you happy you win. Why dont you just ask Artie himself through his band's website. You seem to be so sure of the internet and the content from it go seek him out and ask. He is really a nice guy and would tell you.

[rockinredneck57]

I agree, it IS Artimus. I saw them at the taping of a Hank Jr video in Nashville about 91 or 92 and at first I wasn't sure who they were. Finally, I recognized Billy Powell and then it came to me. It was Skynyrd! Artimus was drumming then with short hair and just a moustache. Great taping! To get the crowd fired up, they played a couple of songs live. Allen was there, but in a wheelchair, he didn't play. Look up Hank's "If it Will, It Will".

[Ajbadboy252]

That is not Artimus Pyle. Artimus Pyle held his sticks classical style this man is usin the modern technique

[beatmastert]

That is indeed Artimus.  He always played this way post crash.

[Ajbadboy252]

dumbass he used PASTE not POST!!!!! and like he said look at Freebird The movie even 10 years after the crash he still used the classical technique

[beatmastert]

Dumbass, that's Artimus, and what the fuck is paste? I meant post-crash as opposed to pre-crach dickhead. And it's called the matched grip and traditional grip butthead. Now fuck-off.

[torrity]

Ha Ha Yea you tell that Peckerhead!!!

[ritcheyrocker]

that is artimus

[bbnatedogg]

@Ajbadboy252 Why do you come on here and flap your cock holster when you obviously don't have a FUCKING CLUE what you're talking about?????????

[franky1908]

Does anyone knows about what smekk this song talk for?

[Guessnotjoe]

Lynyrd skynyrd was great friends with the alomnd brothersband and they wrote that abour greg almonds drug adiction.

[pitchforkj]

The Smell of Death is around you...

[nursesteve2004]

Ronnie wrote the song for Allen and gary who had separate car accidents, one involving running a car into a tree (Oak tree you're in my way!) after drinking and cocaine use. It was his way of saying "hey get your act togetehr or you're gonna die"

[Southernborn761]

Ronnie & Allen wrote it about Gary. Yes Allen did end up crashing a few cars. but his crashes were after the plane crash

[Tickbryan]

And that is why the internet is so great. You don't have to make statements you know nothing about, when all you have to do is take a little time and look it up for your own ignorant self.

[6stringgunslinger]

That is not Artimus Pyle. I saw the reunion show in "88" at the Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland Ohio and he had the long hair and beard and it don't grow that fast.

[possumtail]

That's Artimus, make no mistake.....you don't hear too good!

[pitchforkj]

This is Thomas Dell Pyle AKA Artimus Pyle. If you think it is someone else then you really do not know your Skynyrd.

[pitchforkj]

Also, Artimus plays the drums different on this song than ay other drummer Skynyrd has had. It is him no doubt about it.

[kimbowintn]

I was there!

[mullenfreak91]

ranchroper1974 you talk absolutly gaystuff, lynyrd skynyrd is bigger than jesus!!!

[Tickbryan]

That's Artimus, they introduced him at the concert. He does look strange without all the hair though.

[rockinredneck57]

@Tickbryan I saw him with the band at a video taping when they joined Hank Jr for "If it will it will". I hadn't seen them in years and it took a few min to recognize them. They hadn't been introduced yet and Hank wasn't on the stage. I finally recognized Billy, then Gary, then it hit me! Skynyrd is here!! I didn't recognize Artimus at all until they introduced them. He looked like this with short hair and no beard. They jammed with Hank a little to warm up the crowd. Bout tore the roof off!

[tuesgone62]

Who's playing the drums? NOT Artimus

[landonhuyyugttdft]

yea thats artimus he just cut his hair

[tuesgone62]

Go to 5:30-31,not him. I met him in Jacksonville in the late 90's at the 2nd annual Freebird Festival. I know this is '87, but he doesn't have the same facial features at all. Pretty sure I read that he didn't join up for that reunion, or at least not that particular concert. D-

[bbnatedogg]

@tuesgone62 Wrong you fucking idiot. Try some research next time before you open your cock holster

[hammeredwappered]

I was there. Artimus was there with Skynyrd. Great White was there, and so was Grinderswitch. Best surprise was Stevie Ray Vaughn. Great Day. We drove 6 hours to get to this.

We saw the guy with the black cowboy hat on this vid. He has the Street Survivors Album cover painted on the back of his jean jacket. You don't see it on this, but on the Skynyrd tribute DVD from this they show him showing it. Really Cool!

[tuesgone62]

Stevie Ray? Really? Nice. He was one of the best and gone way to soon.

[calinder403]

miss you Billy Bob...

[ranchroper1974]

that was HOW proud I amoy you all..

[ranchroper1974]

holy cow...HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU

must be past my bedtime, and my space bar is sticky..lol..nighty night.

[ranchroper1974]

well well well..

Little Ed King, will rock your socks off..hard to believe this clip is almost 20 years old...good to see.

this stuff NEVER gets old, I was just telling a friend of mine, who proud I am

of you younger Skynryd fans, who pick up this energy, and will carry it to the next generation..It is sublime, when someone hears this caliber of band for the first time.

as a certain someone, once said..

"turn it up".

Love ya, Mr. King, and BP, goodnight, and watch over me, please.

[sgeagle83]

WOW! Great job.  Johnny sounded as good as I have heard him.

[fragilebeaster]

Wow! And yes thats Ed King with the glasses. Rip Billy Powell ..

[dimtv92]

Ed King quited after second helping right?

who of them is King? Guy with glasses?

[ih8thishit]

The guy with the most talent and least stage presence (yes, the guy in glasses). He played all the hard stuff and wrote the best songs with Skynyrd. When he left the 2nd time (after the reunion) they have sucked ever since. No Ed, No Ronnie, No Skynyrd.

[rockinredneck57]

I wouldn't go that far. Least stage presence, yes. Most talent? Not hardly. He;s a good guitar player, but not the caliber of Gary, Allen, Steve, Rickey or Hughie. He wrote a few songs, but Ronnie, Allen and Gary wrote the majority. On Street Survivors, Steve had 4 of the 8 songs he either wrote or co-wrote. They rocked just as hard and just as good without Ed each time. Thier best was 76-77, after Steve joined the band. I'm not dissing Ed King or what he did, but LS is fine without him.

[bbnatedogg]

@rockinredneck57 Gary is a mediocre guitar player at best. He wrote a good part for Freebird.  That's pretty much it.

[wozjj]

@bbnatedogg What a mindless comment...

[bbnatedogg]

@wozjj cry about it

[BUNDLEofHELL]

@bbnatedogg He's deffinantly better than you. I think Gary is great i wont ever think differant

[bbnatedogg]

@BUNDLEofHELL He's not definitely better than me or anybody else. It's called SUBJECTIVE! Opinions are like assholes. I definitely can SPELL better than you though

[midniterunband]

@bbnatedogg Well I dont know that I would say he is mediocre? He is just not a major lead player, He is a solid rhythm player though and has good tone and technique, and alot of his little fills really accent the skynyrd sound!! JMO

[bbnatedogg]

@midniterunband Fair enough.  It's subjective. I just don't think he was in Allen or Steve's league.

[BfromPA]

Ed King! Wow!

[BoEmery]

Ronnie Van Zant will always be the ONLY singer for me of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I'm glad the're still kicking anyway.

[duanekuiper]

Ed Frickin King!!!!!!!!!!11

[stymye]

saw this show and again at starwood when they started the tour.and that was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, they played all the great songs perfect, lots of people in the crowd were crying the whole time

[Lobsterlady2362]

I've seen these guys a couple of times. Always an excellent concert. This, to me, is there best song, then Freebird. Rock on.

[elcurly117]

HELL YEAH

[YeshuaKingsKid]

Ahhh! Marvelous! ROCK ON!

[bronenalladin]

haha at 0:32..."freebird lives"...why does his friend highfive him? :P

[kempsmith7]

I saw them on the Jerry Lewis Telethon doing Three steps they sounded alot better on November 1st when me and my brother saw them in Dallas Texas they kicked Ass that night

[densthemenace]

rock n roll never dies

[Blake1354]

it doesnt get better than this, especially garys solos. such a hard core song RIP-Ronnie,Steve,Cassie,Leon,a­nd Allen!

[Ozeenl]

Lord above, Gary's solo beginning around 3:53 is the cracking high point for me, it's just classic Rossington.

[metal1992007]

I didnt now someone else out there love and respected Rossingtons solos as much as me. Garys the man!

[Stevehose]

My sister in law sat next to him on an airplane from Tampa on Thursday, said he was the nicest person. Gave her a pick. He's the reason I learned the guitar.

[ryancassady]

I remember from the ages of about 8-10, about a year or so before his death, Leon lived time to time with family of mine. I was always interested in seeing his bass guitars, and one day he started showing me basic stuff. At the time I was too young to grasp who he was exactly. To this day I still play bass, and my dad tells me I hold the bass the same exact way Leon did. I just wish I would have gone with it at that young age. RIP Leon, and all others of this great band

[themitch1966]

April 2nd-Happy Birthday Leon Wilkerson

[Kennyman6191]

RONNIE WAS FAR TO GOOD

[High5150Roller]

im suprised Gary would even dare to play this song. it's all about him and how messed up he was before. RIP RONNIE!!!

[kenny49]

[High5150Roller]

[TonyBeazley]
