Rossington Collins Band - Prime Time (live at The Omni, Atlanta 12/31/80)

Just to make it clear - the video and the audio does not belong together. I made the video just now by taking some video and merge it with Prime Time from the New Years Eve show. Hope you like it anyway, even though the video quality is bad...

For me Rossington Collins Band is one of the greatest bands to ever have played and made music, and it's a shame they got so little time. Dale Krantz' voice was (is) a killer, and she gave the band a certain personality and style which I love greatly.

Prime Time is a very, very, very good song by Rossington Collins Band, and this version played at The Omni was not an exception. This show was broadcast nationwide on the radio, and the setlist for the night was:

Prime Time
Opportunity
Misery Loves Company
One Good Man
Winners & Losers
Getaway
Three Times As Bad
Don't Misunderstand Me
Sometimes You Can Put It Out
Freebird

A great numbers of songs.

I'm not sure, but I guess there are two recordings of the show; one with a better sound quality than the other. But then again; on the one with the lesser quality you can hear much more of the audience, and they were over the top this night. If you can get a hold of one of these recordings - please do it!! It's the best show by them that I've heard, and I have quite a few of them now...

Rossington Collins Band is:

Dale Krantz (later Dale Krantz-Rossington) - Vocals
Gary Rossington - Guitar
Allen Collins - Guitar
Barry Harwood - Guitar, Vocals
Billy Powell - Keyboards
Derek Hess - Drums / Percussion
Leon Wilkeson - Bass Guitar

Please don't worry about the vid here ! ANY footage of ANY quality is a rare treat, and the audio is A1. Thanx and good job :) Dave.

@twostrokeornill1 Glad you liked it - they were awesome! Don't have more videos, but a lot of live recordings.

Thanks for posting this, I don't think I've ever seen a live clip of Rossington/Collins. I could be wrong but does it seem like Gary and Allen are out of sync on this one?

[ilovesouthernrock]

@valleydreamin This video had the same song (Prime Time) playing when I got it, but it is clearly put together by different bits and pieces of videos and not filmed in "one shot". I just removed the bad quality audio which was on the video and replaced it with the same song from a CD I have (same show - New Year 1980).

As you also can see the video goes in a loop, and I don't have more of the band - sorry. But I will carry on my search for more rare video of Southern Rock :)

Hope you like it!

Say LSR,you left out Three Times As Bad.

I got this show on CD' It's TTAB from it.

I wish i had this and This Is The Way '81

Tour plus The Allen Collins Band live

[ilovesouthernrock]

Yes, you're quite right; I forgot Three Times As Bad... How could I??? Great song that too :)

I got the New Years Eve show, one from Municipal (03/17/80), Garden State Arts Center ('81) and two shows from 1982. The two "best" are this (New Years Eve) and the one from Garden State Arts Center. Great sound on both of them :)

I don't have anything live with Allen Collins but would loved to have it. Will continue to look :)

Allen would have turned 58 years old today. Rest in Peace my friend. You are one of the best guitarists ever.

[DestorosO]
