I must have watched this 100 times by now and it never gets old. That guitar work is phenomenal...Hats off to the greatest band there ever was, or will ever be...
Workin' for MCA should be mandatory listening for anyone offered recording deals. So many don't have a clue.....
That said, much appreciate these; they were unbelievable in concert and this may let our kids (and grandkids now ;>) understand. Combined w/the other great FL bands (Outlaws, Molly Hatchett, etc.) and folks like CDB and the Allmans, it was proof that the disco movement wasn't the only activity in the 70's. :D
was in 11th grade at this time. Seen Skynard a dozen times or more. THe were great. seen them with the outlaws. Great southern rock and roll. Havent listened to the new LS once since RVZ died in planecrash.
this is what they open with in west palm beach fl last night was in third row!! GOD got me in ! for !BILLY POWEL 's! REST IN PEACe !PEACE~march june 20th central-park new york 10 to 12 noon
My first concert but in 97' still had Rossington,Powell, and Wilkenson back then and maybe Artimus Powell but I was so fucked up in Charollet N.C. that night I was only 17 but had a hell of a time.
They didn't all die! GOD! And u call urselves Skynyrd fans! In fact the band still DOES live on! Ronnie VanZants bro does lead vocals. Man i hate posers! DO UR HOMEWORK!
Posers ? The band touring under the name Lynyrd Skynyrd today have absolutely nothing in common with the band in this video, any comparisons are completely reaching ,for all intensive purposes Skynyrd DIED with that plane crash. Huckeby had "Skynyrd" on his show last week end,they sounded good... but so do plenty of cover bands. No Bonham no Zeppelin no Moon no Who no Bon Scott no....
Give it a rest, line-ups change. Skynyrd's changed often even before the crash. I prefer Ronnie (most people do) but Gary Rossington and Billy Powell (who recently died) remained a part of the band. Ricky Medlocke had his moments with the band prior to the crash. Johnny is Ronnie's his little brother and does a good job on the old songs.
Best band of the day by far - I was 20 and having the time of my life - thanks for the memories! I still remember how hot, tired, filthy, drunk and happy we were by the end of it! Hi to everyone who was there X
YES! Im afraid i wasnt there but youve hit the nail on the head! That is rock n roll baby, "hot, tired, filthy, drunk n happy!" i think u may have been a little stoned too? lol I wouldnt blame ya if u did! Peace x
All I've ever needed to get stoned is the music! I feel very lucky to've been young in the 70s - we had all the best music, not just Skynyrd but Zeppelin, Alice, Purple, Lizzy, SAHB, Robin Trower, Free ...and they're all on Y.Tube making me young again!

Ed King does kill on Strat. But if you think this is Ed on strat in this video, you are mistaken. This is Steve Gaines. He was incredible

lineups don't change completely,I'm familiar with Skynyrd,name dropping means nothing,I can read too,
Lynyrd Skynyrd is long gone, reminds me of the latest Chevy Malibu...old name that was once on an exciting product .... now on a new bland product .
