THE ALBUM COVER, did you guys know that in this cover both the guys that died in the plane crash have their eyes closed in the picture and there's fire around them obviously!!!
How can you stand there smilin' After all you've done You know it seems to make you happy When you've hurt someone Twice before you fooled me With your deceivin' and lyin' Come in and close the door One more time, one more time Yeah you've been gone so long No one knows where And you say that you still love me Then show me you care 'Cause you got what it takes sweet mama To make a man feel fine So I'll take the word of a liar One more time, one more time
I bought this album when it came out - and someone lifted it from me - this one - the original cover is the one to have - so prophetic. Glad Johnny is carying on Ronnie's work.
I AGREE I LOVED RONNIE HE WAS A GENIOUS,.BUT YOU CANT TELL ME WITH A STRAIT FACE THAT THE BAND CALLED L S HAS ONLY GARYAND HES GETTING OLD AND THEY TURN HIS AMP DOWN .RICKEY CARRIES THE LOAD ON GUITAR
parts that are un duplicated 1:371:391:372:26 the great ED KING came in and overdubbed these bad m fers 3:00 3:15 from 0:09 to 0:17 - 1:071:261:361:44 at the bridge the saddest slide voice i have ever heard, like the instrument is crying out feeling Ronnies pain.3:54 - 4:00 - 4:13 amazing the way it breathes, learn this and u be the man Mr ed king
This song was recorded during the Muscle Shoals "first and last' sessions...thats Ricky Medlocke on the drums!. Ronnie chose to ring Jimmy johnson of Muscle shoals (who owned the song) to ask to put it on the Street Survivors album
this song still makes me smile after all these years.. certainly one of the best tunes on this album,,I don't believe there's a bad song on it. Come in and close the door one more time
roquefortfiles: take a chance with Skynyrds new cd God & Guns...its a great listen, especially the song "FLOYD "..Rob Zombie adds some backing vocals on it.
I think it's great that Ronnie's brother keeps the Skynyrd flame alive for his brother....the original line-up was so amazing...I was in junior high school when this album came out...I played the 8-track I had to death.
@zombie2wo I am a HUGE Skynrd fan but i lost touch with them when the plane went down in 77. I was not really interested in a new Skynrd without the lost members. A friend of mine told me about Johnny Van Zant carrying on with new songs etc. I was so skeptical and uninterested. But gave it a try one night and watched them in a concert in Germany. Johnny did a great job!! I was very impressed. Thought he did a great job. It was still Skynrd!!
@FloormanofAlabama Ed King said he puts "THE FILLS" and STRAT" on this cut a few years after it had originally been recorded. Jimmy Johnson had him plug in to the board and play along..He was still with the ORIGINAL LS when he did this BTW...
rrrwahhh 0:530:540:55 rrrwahhh rrrrwahhh, try it.. on your guitar youll sound nothing like it, i ve tried it with brass, glass bottle plastic shell pics no picks
strats strat elite's, rosewood, maple necks, les pauls
I wanted to mention this too. Street Survivors was released in 1977, and one year later I bought my first Fender Stratocaster. They really inspired me.
Skynyrd was and still is my favorite band. They turned me onto guitar. I saw them in '91, '93 and '95. The only show I saw Ed King play was the one in '95.....I'll always be sad that I never got to see Allen Collins and Steve Gaines play. But it was cool to watch Gary Rossington play ! I was very pleased when King and Rossington were standing together taking turns at the solos.
Skynyrd is my favorite band. hands down. I'm 15 years old, and i can easily say Skynyrd is in my blood, Compliments of my Father who lives Skynyrd. Keep rockin and burn down the walls of difference
wow does this song remind me of my on and off flame funny how love can make u let yourself look like a fool just to be with them till u reach a breaking point and have to finally be the one to walk away and end it and not let them walk in and out your life taking peices of your heart along the way
I Love You Tube....everyone's comments are like text in a history book for me,,,,,im only 24yrs old...my parents played all their albums when i was i kid...I never dreamed how much it would embrace when i got older....I can play most of their songs with the same feel and original timing as originally recorded...and I Feel it in MY BONES....I'm from Augusta, Ga and Im Proud to be Southern
@rickyslicky501 I know I live and listen to this band evryday, along with playing alot of their shit, as an aspiring singer and musician myself. Being from Florida how could you not be? Keep being proud and Southern
@rickyslicky501 I've posted comments for other songs and had very similar responses. I hear some the music and I can remember specific places and events like I am still there.........amazing considering how much pot was being smoked at the time!
@rickyslicky501 Hell yeah man..Im a couple years younger than you..and I never imagined when I was 5 years old singing the ballad of curtis lowe, that one day this band could touch me so deeply..Like you said I feel it in my bones and in my heart! Skynyrd is in my blood...Thanks to my dad, who always taught me to be a simple man
Ricky medlock use to be in blackfoot another southern rock band..there biggest songs were train, train and highway song...anyways he's a pretty nice guy and a good muscian, but underated in my opinon!
@eddieboable On the chance that this is a serious question...Medlocke played drums for a while is the early days and was invited to do the Mussel shoal recordings that included the stuff on first and last and some others that were later released. Skynyrd wanted to use one of those as yet unreleased recordings for their survivors album called one more time. Medlocke is on drums. He now plays guitar with the band doing his own stuff and that of collins. from Australia
This is one of my Favorites from Lynyrd Skynyrd.......I went to Florida and had my picture made...... standing in front of the band's own club and Music Venue---it is called ...."Freebird's"------I may post my picture later on......
I took for granted that since he's so visible that that's a know...;)
His wife - Dale Krantz Rossington tours with the band and shares the vocals as well as singing the old Rossington-Collins and Rossington songs (not too sure but, I'm thinking possibly the .38 Special songs she sang on, too)
@StephanieHammack ..a known fact? Should be, huh? Dale is a great vocalist in her own right! Anyone interested, bring up Rossington-Collins' 'Don't Misunderstand Me' & check out the live version of Travis Tritt doing the lead vocals with her, (rather than her ex), they're both in fine form!

my dad bought that album the day it came out. 3 days later their plane crashed and the flames were replaced with black. he still has the album and i think the album cover is worth a couple hundred bucks.
@3P4Life Yes, they HAVE, but as has been said by several, (including me), stations seem to stay STUCK on 'Freebird' & 'Sweet Home,' though I did recently hear 'Down South Jukin,' check it out!
gary is still alive, though allen lived from the plane crash, he would loose his wife in child birth, then '86 crashed his car putting him in wheel chair and died from complacations in jan 1990
@Fletchman54352 Exactly. Also, (those of us who remember this!), Allen had crashed his car not too very long after the plane, killing his girlfriend-I really don't think he ever got over the combination, you know? This is merely a personal reflection, but with all the tragedies that very personally affected Allen, I believe he thought he was carrying some seriously bad KARMA, & I think the last car crash may have been an attempt...
I remeber this when it first came on am radio!!!!called radio station a hundred times a day to make a request for them to play song!!!!From a phone hooked to the wall that actually made a ringing noise when you was getting a call.You guys remeber those?
The third guitar on just this song, is original third guitarist Ed King. The bass guitar on just this song is played by Greg T. Walker of Blackfoot. It's on the album credits.
technically, Rickey Medlocke is still an original member of the band. i am not sure, but he may have played with them when they first formed as the noble 5, or one of their other initial acts, and i definitely know that he contributed guitar, drums, vocals, and even some songs to their original muscle shoals demo album. he was even featured in the photo on the cover. btw, this exact same recording was on that album (this version was overdubbed and lengthened in a session in '75 or '76)
@wileycoyoteengineer - what? Just because you know the words to the song doesn't mean it was released earlier. The official release date was October 17, 1977. It was not released anywhere in September
I don't really know for sure. That was 32 years ago. That was the way I hazily remember it.
I do remember I ordered the black tee shirt with the silver image on it. I got a small size and it fit like a glove. I think I paid 12 or 15 dollars for it that was big money for me back then.
If you check the album credits for this song on "Street Survivors", Ed King came back and was the third guitarist on just this song in the studio and Greg T. Walker of Blackfoot play's the bass on just this song.
@GBeret83 Ed didn't come back and play on this album.... this song was recorded before their first album at muscle shoals along with 'comin home' and 'down south jukin' and a lot more. This was when ricky medlocke was playin drums and greg walker on bass. Ricky sings back up on this as well. Ed King did some over dubbs in about 1975 for this song. Come 1977 Ronnie & the guys decided to put this early song on the album instead of 'georgia Peaches' and 'Sweet little missy 'which they left off...
There's no telling what musical heights this lineup could have reached. Street Survivors is just a peak at how good they had truly become. What a great disc, and one of the top rock recordings ever made.
@bulldog530 My thoughts exactly. I've made this argument to anyone who will listen when it comes to the quality of music. We were spoiled by LS's brilliance (as well as many of their contemporaries of the day). Not many days go by that I dont find a bit of a hole in my heart when it comes to this band. They left their mark and the music always will.
@bulldog530 You are absolutely right. However terrible this sounds, I would have rather see them perish in a plane crash then get to the point what Lynyrd Skynyrd is now. I would have lost respect. Now, I will always hold repect for their music. Sounds terrible, but hope you get my drift...
I don't mean to be a downer here, but what in the hell has happened to music????? If it wasn't for finding stuff like this on the internet I'd go nuts!!
Probably my all time fave Skynard song! Had to hear it on You Tube cuz the radio stations never play it! I remember where I was when I heard about the plane crash--10th grade Creative Writing class; it's one of those moments kinda like where were you when it was reported Kennedy had been shot or when the 1st plane hit the World Trade Center.
Those boys could define more rock and roll in one guitar riff than a stack of music encyclopedias. The Southern attitude that they showed the world was dead on.
My father and I agree that it is Allen, however that is not definitive.
On a another not unrelated note, I once came upon a website that said who played what on what album. I have since lost it, but would LOVE to find it again. I often find myself wondering who that is playing.
Actually, both Artimus Pyle and Ed King are still alive as well, but only Gary Rossington is left playing in the Skynyrd lineup that play's these day's.
One of my favorite Skynyrd tunes. I'm in San Antone and these hack radio stations would cringe playing this. They will play the hell out of FREEBIRD ( a great one)..but they neglect the Catalogue of greatness! A damn shame......
@SEAMOKTactical SA had some kickass rock stations in the mid to late 70s. This song actually got airplay when the album was released. And I agree, this is one my favorites by them.
@SEAMOKTactical That fucking radio shit drives me NUTS!! I totally agree with you. I found this album in my sisters collection way back, i was only about 11 and i played this song and really liked it. Oh what could have been if it were not for a plane crash. Though i do have to admit being fairly impressed with his brother on vocals. Saw a live Germany dvd show a few years back and they sounded terrific.
@roquefortfiles ...You're so right, but hey, let's not continue to mourn the SONGS that may have been, (I get in that frame & I'll just LOSE it!!), we still & will always mourn Ronnie, Steve & Cassie, (not to mention Allen later on after his second serious car crash & most recently Billy-one of the FINEST piano players EVER!), let's REVEL in the ones' we have, we surely did get lucky there! This song sends shivers down you're spine, & as MrLaberryhi said recently, 'One More Time!' Here, here!
@SEAMOKTactical ...EXACTLY Right!!!! 'Freebird,' as you said, is a tune for the ages, but I swear if I have to hear it on radio AGAIN...it was fine while it was out-we had to know it, right? But it's just WAY too long for radio anymore. Besides which, rabid 'Freebird' fans can put it on anytime they want to, right? It makes them ignore, (& lose time), a PLETHORA of Skynyrd songs like this 'Freebird' & 'Stairway' are the 2 most overplayed songs in ROCK! But they're great... long as the wheel roll
@Gentsyetta Totally agree. SO GLAD to see it said. At least I'm not the only one. (LOL) As mentioned, so MANY OTHER MONSTER TUNES & after (literally 35 + yrs.) I cannot make it through "Stairway To Heaven" anymore & I LOVE Led Zeppelin. Not when I've got access to all of "Physical Graffitti", "Presence" "Houses Of The Holy", ect, ect,. Same with Skynyrd. First Concert I ever attended.....Lynyrd Skynyrd/REO headlining in late winter 73 or early 74 (lotta smoke in Murray, Ky. Fieldhouse) : ) EPIC!

On earlier tracks like this he sounds less southern and more normal rock or british sounding. Listen to Was I Right Or Wrong from first and last and you'll see what I'm talking about...and all the other tracks on that cd also. I like his vocals like that.
Great song, one of my favorite guitar solos ever. I remember spending hours to get that solo down many years ago, never perfected it, but came pretty close (back in the days of albums!). Had tickets to see them on October 31st at Cobo Hall in 77. The concert had been re-scheduled, was originally supposed to be in June or July I think. Waited all that time, then they had the plane crash just a few days before the concert (10, I think). Was lucky enough to have seen them twice before that.
question to you what do you think of this band now a days I sill like there older stuff but I think freebird will allways be good no matter what..but I kind of dont like the new cd thay made whats your thoguhts...bye cool song btw
Even though old Van Halen is my favorite rock and roll band of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd is my fav country/rock band anyday. I can't have a couple of drinks without classic Skynyrd -- it's like an addiction. Cheers to the best country/rock band ever!!!! Flashy
i can remember where i was the day they died like diana and i new nothing about the band they turned out to be one off my all time fav bands heartbreaking great tune
They crashed on a Thursday night about 6.55 pm CST...They were 58 miles from Baton Rouge...26 people were on board..6 died..The two pilots, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines and Dean Kilpatrick the asst. road manager..
Well your tickets were for November 24, 1977 at Riverfront Coliseum....And NO they weren't trekking North..They flew from Greenville, South Carolina to Baton Rouge..and crashed 58 miles from LSU..Gillsburg, Mississippi..They flew over the airport in McComb, Miss about 5 miles before they crashed...THEY MISSED IT..Man, it was pilot error all the way...They plane had shot flames out of the engine from Lakeland Florida to Greenville, South Carolina..The pilots ASSURED THEM EVERYTHING would be OK..
well whatever the dates all i know is that they CRASHED in october and i had tickets to go im not sure what directions they were headed i just ASSUMED it was north i was only 14 at the time and skynyrd meant the world to me at the time i heard the news early on (i believe it was a sunday morning but dont quote me) and i was crushed i sat in my beanbag chair most of the day in shock my dad felt so bad for me he took me out to eat and to spencers gifts for skynyrd garb your right about the show
Yep. . RIP Billy Powell. Along with Ronnie, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson, Steve Gaines All missed. Superb guitarists all. I always felt that Ronnie's voice was underrated. He could deliver a song with power and passion. Love this song.
i thought gary died not allen cause one day last summer the band was in dayton ohio (the nut house) and my co worker and i were eating lunch across from the venue at a holiday inn when all their tour buses come rolling in and out they came i got to shake ricky medlocks hand before their security shuffled them off and i COULD of SWEAR i saw allen collins wearing that cool double breasted black leather coat hes wore for years hmmmmm
well maybe but even my friend said the same thing its hard to think someone else wearing that coat with the gold inlay anyhow i havent kept up with my rock trivia lately but i have a friend at a fm station and he knows it ALL ill clear this up in my mind one way or another. peace!!
wow i guess my skynyrd trivia is waaaayy behind i didnt even know billy was gone hey you call yourself steve gaines didnt you die in a plane crash back in october of 77?? hmmmm just kiddin i still have two untore concert tickets from the cincy ohio show back then. they were trekking north on that tour when tragedy happen and ive got the original street survivors album plastic cover and all i wonder what there worth today to a diehard skynyrd fan??
THE ALBUM COVER, did you guys know that in this cover both the guys that died in the plane crash have their eyes closed in the picture and there's fire around them obviously!!!

Definitely one of my favorite Skynyrd/Ronnie songs. His vocals are so...man,
Ronnie's vocals are so masculine, so strict. He sounds like he is disgruntled,
but at the same time, like any man, Van Zant knew the feeling. He had had the
feeling before. Excellent, one of their lesser beautiful birds of song.

Ricky medlock use to be in blackfoot another southern rock band..there biggest songs were train, train and highway song...anyways he's a pretty nice guy and a good muscian, but underated in my opinon!

@CRAZYHARRY4 .....Ricky Medlock was one of the original members of Skynyrd....he played drums.
kiltman62 1 year ago
@eddieboable On the chance that this is a serious question...Medlocke played drums for a while is the early days and was invited to do the Mussel shoal recordings that included the stuff on first and last and some others that were later released. Skynyrd wanted to use one of those as yet unreleased recordings for their survivors album called one more time. Medlocke is on drums. He now plays guitar with the band doing his own stuff and that of collins. from Australia

His wife - Dale Krantz Rossington tours with the band and shares the vocals as well as singing the old Rossington-Collins and Rossington songs (not too sure but, I'm thinking possibly the .38 Special songs she sang on, too)

@StephanieHammack ..a known fact? Should be, huh? Dale is a great vocalist in her own right! Anyone interested, bring up Rossington-Collins' 'Don't Misunderstand Me' & check out the live version of Travis Tritt doing the lead vocals with her, (rather than her ex), they're both in fine form!

gary is still alive, though allen lived from the plane crash, he would loose his wife in child birth, then '86 crashed his car putting him in wheel chair and died from complacations in jan 1990
Fletchman54352 1 year ago
@Fletchman54352 Exactly. Also, (those of us who remember this!), Allen had crashed his car not too very long after the plane, killing his girlfriend-I really don't think he ever got over the combination, you know? This is merely a personal reflection, but with all the tragedies that very personally affected Allen, I believe he thought he was carrying some seriously bad KARMA, & I think the last car crash may have been an attempt...

technically, Rickey Medlocke is still an original member of the band. i am not sure, but he may have played with them when they first formed as the noble 5, or one of their other initial acts, and i definitely know that he contributed guitar, drums, vocals, and even some songs to their original muscle shoals demo album. he was even featured in the photo on the cover. btw, this exact same recording was on that album (this version was overdubbed and lengthened in a session in '75 or '76)

@wileycoyoteengineer - what? Just because you know the words to the song doesn't mean it was released earlier. The official release date was October 17, 1977. It was not released anywhere in September

I don't really know for sure. That was 32 years ago. That was the way I hazily remember it.
I do remember I ordered the black tee shirt with the silver image on it. I got a small size and it fit like a glove. I think I paid 12 or 15 dollars for it that was big money for me back then.

If you check the album credits for this song on "Street Survivors", Ed King came back and was the third guitarist on just this song in the studio and Greg T. Walker of Blackfoot play's the bass on just this song.
GBeret83 2 years ago
@GBeret83 Ed didn't come back and play on this album.... this song was recorded before their first album at muscle shoals along with 'comin home' and 'down south jukin' and a lot more. This was when ricky medlocke was playin drums and greg walker on bass. Ricky sings back up on this as well. Ed King did some over dubbs in about 1975 for this song. Come 1977 Ronnie & the guys decided to put this early song on the album instead of 'georgia Peaches' and 'Sweet little missy 'which they left off...

There's no telling what musical heights this lineup could have reached. Street Survivors is just a peak at how good they had truly become. What a great disc, and one of the top rock recordings ever made.
bulldog530 2 years ago 24
@bulldog530 My thoughts exactly. I've made this argument to anyone who will listen when it comes to the quality of music. We were spoiled by LS's brilliance (as well as many of their contemporaries of the day). Not many days go by that I dont find a bit of a hole in my heart when it comes to this band. They left their mark and the music always will.

@bulldog530 You are absolutely right. However terrible this sounds, I would have rather see them perish in a plane crash then get to the point what Lynyrd Skynyrd is now. I would have lost respect. Now, I will always hold repect for their music. Sounds terrible, but hope you get my drift...

Probably my all time fave Skynard song! Had to hear it on You Tube cuz the radio stations never play it! I remember where I was when I heard about the plane crash--10th grade Creative Writing class; it's one of those moments kinda like where were you when it was reported Kennedy had been shot or when the 1st plane hit the World Trade Center.

My father and I agree that it is Allen, however that is not definitive.
On a another not unrelated note, I once came upon a website that said who played what on what album. I have since lost it, but would LOVE to find it again. I often find myself wondering who that is playing.

@SEAMOKTactical That fucking radio shit drives me NUTS!! I totally agree with you. I found this album in my sisters collection way back, i was only about 11 and i played this song and really liked it. Oh what could have been if it were not for a plane crash. Though i do have to admit being fairly impressed with his brother on vocals. Saw a live Germany dvd show a few years back and they sounded terrific.

@SEAMOKTactical ...EXACTLY Right!!!! 'Freebird,' as you said, is a tune for the ages, but I swear if I have to hear it on radio AGAIN...it was fine while it was out-we had to know it, right? But it's just WAY too long for radio anymore. Besides which, rabid 'Freebird' fans can put it on anytime they want to, right? It makes them ignore, (& lose time), a PLETHORA of Skynyrd songs like this 'Freebird' & 'Stairway' are the 2 most overplayed songs in ROCK! But they're great... long as the wheel roll

@Gentsyetta Totally agree. SO GLAD to see it said. At least I'm not the only one. (LOL) As mentioned, so MANY OTHER MONSTER TUNES & after (literally 35 + yrs.) I cannot make it through "Stairway To Heaven" anymore & I LOVE Led Zeppelin. Not when I've got access to all of "Physical Graffitti", "Presence" "Houses Of The Holy", ect, ect,. Same with Skynyrd. First Concert I ever attended.....Lynyrd Skynyrd/REO headlining in late winter 73 or early 74 (lotta smoke in Murray, Ky. Fieldhouse) : ) EPIC!

Great song, one of my favorite guitar solos ever. I remember spending hours to get that solo down many years ago, never perfected it, but came pretty close (back in the days of albums!). Had tickets to see them on October 31st at Cobo Hall in 77. The concert had been re-scheduled, was originally supposed to be in June or July I think. Waited all that time, then they had the plane crash just a few days before the concert (10, I think). Was lucky enough to have seen them twice before that.

Well your tickets were for November 24, 1977 at Riverfront Coliseum....And NO they weren't trekking North..They flew from Greenville, South Carolina to Baton Rouge..and crashed 58 miles from LSU..Gillsburg, Mississippi..They flew over the airport in McComb, Miss about 5 miles before they crashed...THEY MISSED IT..Man, it was pilot error all the way...They plane had shot flames out of the engine from Lakeland Florida to Greenville, South Carolina..The pilots ASSURED THEM EVERYTHING would be OK..
