This is the only version of Skynyrd worth listening to...Steve Gaines made them so much better than they'd ever been before. Here, he plays no solo but steals the show, anyway. Steve Gaines was a fucking MONSTER!!!

This was one of my favorites. I never saw the original band. Did see the after crash band with Johnny singing, but there was no magic to the show. I do not care for the current band at all.

I'm so old, I saw them open for the Who in '73. The night Keith Moon passed out at the Cow Palace.

You're correct, no magic in the current band. Gary is mailing it in, Ricky Medlocke is a poor Allen Collins substitute and there is simply no replacing Ronnie, Steve, Artimus or Leon. They need to make their money, and there are tons of people stupid enough to go see them, but like the Who, the magic is gone. They might as well be androids.

Yep, I'm a young pup. The first time I saw the Brothers was during the Cher years. They were just going through the motions. Saw the Gregg Allman Band in a small club in the early 80's. One of the best shows I seen.

Speaking of Gregg, I hear he isn't doing very good. Some Hospice rumors going around. Wish him well.

Nobody lives forever. When Pete and Rog go, I'll be devastated. Bad enough the Who's gone, but when those two go, the last remaining members of the band that saved my life as a teenager will be gone. Even now, when I'm pissed, it's live Who, as loud as I can make it. Listened to a LOT of Who on election night.
