Almost 44 years ago to the day and they are still one of the most popular rock bands in the world. God bless you Allen for getting the band back together before you died.
Allen, I feel, played for the music..It's just about music... inspirational ..just being himself doing his own thing. Regards Karolyn Melbourne Australia
I stood in front of Steve and Ronnie in Greenville That night. This ripped my head off with grief. I play guitar. Steve played a black custom just like my 73 that night with a 1000 cracks in the finish. Omg he was good that night. I was left spellbound.. I miss those boys. Pure musicians..
"Coming Home" Gary. "I Miss Old Friends That I Once Had". Now you are together with your friends Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Billy, Ed, Bob, Allen. R.I.P. Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I was 2 years old when "Pronounced" came out in 1973. Growing up in the '80s, Skynyrd was on the radio a ton here in Central Ohio thanks to QFM 96 (still rockin'). All I heard were the staple songs that I loved . Ended up buying everything ! My son is US Navy, transfered Jacksonville early this year. My adopted hometown. Love this video. Mr & Mrs Rossington and of course the VanZants is priceless ! So much more, thanks for sharing
And still to this day, the moment I hear your songs, I can’t help but stand, clap and move. The losses were horrific and painful, still, but your music and the memories will never die. God bless you all & those in Heaven looking down. You may be gone, but you’re never forgotten. I pray that someday I will have my dream come true of taking my family, to share the music that means so much to me with my kids, and see you live for the first time ever! God Bless you all. Much love, Shelbie =) ❤️💙😘
Very few ppl on this earth have as much expierence playing guitar as Gary Rossington. Think about it, the guy is like 72-73 yrs old now and he has been playing the guitar since he was like 7-8 years old. That is wow alot of expierence! Its no wonder the guitars in Skynrd always sounded so great. Honestly you would be hard pressed anywhere to find better A better group of muscians.
The songs written by Skynyrd are timeless..Allen at 17 years old wrote FreeBird..Gary and Him were always my favorite.Guitarists .. Randall hall left me back stage passes at the Charlotte NCshow, he was a.super cool dude..I met Lacey Van Zandt also, he signed my Shirt with these simple words GOD BLESS L VAN ZANDT.....So glad these guys Went back out with Johnnie...
I met the band back stage and in the van we all hung out with my friend, they were so nice and down to earth, just like hanging out with a nice family, so sweet they are, sweet gentlemen. So talented, I tried to tone down my compliments, anyway was fun back in the day. I'll never forget meeting the band. We had green colored back stage passes in Detroit and people in the crowd, were like, "nice fake back stage pass, it was kinda of funny, Always have loved Lynyrd Skynyd since i was 18, their music is beautiful. thank you for everything you great band,.
I saw Skynyrd many times with the first time in the mid 70s and then in the 80s and 90s. Loved them so much, I now play in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band "Almost Skynard" Great job and thanks for posting this.
Ronnie knew how to paint a story with just a few words......"whiskey bottles....brand new cars.....oak tree you're in my way"......there ya go...you know EXACTLY what's going on in ELEVEN words.
Only 7 years late! This is the 1987 tribute tour, the VHS (this device we used to watch movies on) was released in 1988 😂, but still love the upload none the less. I wore out my VHS Cassette of this movie and later a DVD version as well, but now I’m good with a digital copy. Thanks for the post brother.
Great band, , went to every show they played on ARIZONA IN THE 1970, SAW THEM play at OSOARK MUSIC MT. FESTIVAL, THE ROSSINGTON COLLIS BAND, THE FIRST REUNION TOUR IN L.A. GREAT MEMORIES !
Ronnie van zant had a god given talent he is one of the very best I love lynyrd skynyrd band forever thank god for the tribute band love them lynyrd skynyrd original band can never be beat
..does Florida really still have any southern people, though?...I am from from North Georgia, and we get literally TONS of people that move in from Florida..most of them sound and act like they came from up North...
Gone way, way, way, too damn soon. That tragic day rivals the day the music died in 1959. The music they made from the south will live on forever, no matter what these sad "FUCKS" do trying to erase Robert E. Lee and his Rebel Flag!!! Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!
Allen Collins had that GIBSON 'FIREBIRD' for long time, even back in 1971...WOW ! That Guitar travelled the world ! Like to know where it is now, and play it !
Gary and Allen guitars got stole. The Firebird et white satin gibson. Allen came back with the Gibson Explorer and Gary with Les paul and a SG custom red
I was playing at the "Comic Book Club" in the same time frame as "The One Percent" ... "The Allman Joys," IIRC, were playing the late night bottle club there around that same time. Saw Robert Nix and the "Candymen" in there when it was "The Beachcomber" IIRC. Lots of music went down in that building, which is now a parking garage, downtown Jacksonville.
Drinking and grief killed him early. Imagine, having to see your band play every night while you are paralyzed from a drunk driving crash, because a judge says so. No worse sentence then that, then the pneumonia set it.
Alan Jackson wrote, "The older I get, the more I think ya only get a minute better live while you're in it cuz it's gone in a blink. I bought "Pronounced" based on the album cover, and I never looked back. I loved everything about Lynyrd Skynyrd. It seems I bought that album recently. I just can't wrap my mind around the fact it was 50 years ago. But know this my boys are gone but never ever forgotten.
I’m building a guitar from wood from the Hell House original Dock, and foundation from Hell House, and incorporating metal from the plane. Once it’s complete we will loan it out to touring musicians so those timber’s will continue to sing and vibrate. LLLS. Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd.. if anybody knows Gary Rossington I’d love for him to sign it when complete, or donate a pick, or something I can incorporate into it. Tell him to hit me up.
And Allan Collins heard this on stage every night. "Whiskey bottles, brand new car; oak tree, you're in my way... You fool, you." That damn drinking culture was a false siren to ruin.
I used to hate Lynard skyward when I was teen agerThe people who like them were necks even though my parents who were from the Carolinas they all hated Sex pistols and the Ramones the bands I was into. As I got older I listened to them And fell in love with them
This was made for a VHS tape so time was limited. Probably why Ed was only briefly mentioned. I wish I still had that tape! I was at their softball game with 96 Rock.
i i'm avid song writer, what it does for me is unloads what is weighing on me its a release,in a book i read ronnie wuold try to wiote simple to reach a rbroad AUDEINCE,his songs feel to me like there coming out of proverbs
I named my only child after Ronnie Van Zant's father. When I was just a kid myself, a lifelong lover and fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd, I watched a documentary and seeing the pain in Ronnie's dad's eyes and just feeling how much he loved and missed his son impacted me greatly, for I grieved the loss of such greatness, too. So in honor of Ronnie and Lynyrd Skynyrd and of Lacy - the man that planted the seeds of what would eventually become my favorite band of all time that I've loved and adored literally since birth because my mom was their number one fan- I named my daughter after Ronnie's father. May they rest in peace and may those that remain find some measure of comfort and may God forever bless Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Yeah, don't get that 5 second segment about Ed. Van Zant treated Ed like garbage for a large part of his short tenure with the band, even with all his monumental achievements in writing and playing. Then again Ed was a nice, quiet guy from Glendale, CA....had zero in common with the southern boys.
@@Arturo-sm1tb I knew Ed and got to record two song demos for him and talked to him over the years....he had immense respect for Ronnie and understood that Ronnie was a complicated individual in many ways. I think Ed could also separate the sober Ronnie from the drug-addled Ronnie...which is the Ronnie Ed had issues with and eventually caused Ed to leave the band. Ed actually liked the Southern vibe....it was the drug vibe that didn't jive with him. After all...Ed could've chosen to live anywhere in the country or go back to CA...but he chose to live in Nashville didn't he ?
What's weird is, according to Ed, he and Ronnie were good close friends when NOT on the road. When on the road, drunk Ronnie became a bully to everyone, but particularly to Ed and I think (and I'm guessing here based on what he'd said) when it came in-fighting between all the hometown boys, Ronnie took a "Ed, YOU shut your mouth" approach to King, making him feel like he really didn't belong. And surprise surprise, he packed up and left the tour.
@@bloozedaddy Well, you do 4 years in Lynyrd friggin' Skynyrd and play on their first 3 albums, you're a "Southern Rock" musician forever, like it or not. Might as well move to Nashville and embrace it lol
The one question that I wish anyone would ask , or would HAVE asked of any of the then surviving members/crew was, what went through their mind their very first time flying again after the crash. Myself I probably would have never ever flown again, or if so someone would have to tranq dart me and haul me on the plane. No way in hell. - L

Yes indeed. We were raised up North, but we Loved our Southern Brothers.

THEY WERE A BIG PART OF GROWING UP IN AMERICA FOR A LOT OF US
More than you know good buddy !
Yessir! As a pre-teen, I went straight from The Osmond Brothers to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Talk about a 180. My ears were opened.
I stood in front of Steve and Ronnie in Greenville That night. This ripped my head off with grief. I play guitar. Steve played a black custom just like my 73 that night with a 1000 cracks in the finish. Omg he was good that night. I was left spellbound.. I miss those boys. Pure musicians..
From all the swampers here in muscle shoals Alabama RIP Gary RIP brother
Thank you Shoals.
Their music brings me back to the mid seventies. Sounds even better today 😢
"Coming Home" Gary. "I Miss Old Friends That I Once Had". Now you are together with your friends Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Billy, Ed, Bob, Allen. R.I.P. Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Love Lynyrd Skynyrd Free Bird Band Member
Rip lyrynd, you make my day, planes suck
Brings back so many memories of my childhood. My favorite band. I love seeing these personal interviews and stories of the band members. ❤️
Peace and love to Gary's family. We will you miss you Gary. You are now in paradise
They are my favorite band they tell good true story songs thanks for the music. Michigan loves Lynyrd Skynyrd
Love Ronnie’s moms story about Ronnie’s first day of school. It fits Ronnie’s personality so well 😂😂
Loved how she said she had to go down to the school and "tend" to him. haha
One hell of a band love the Mom
back when parents raised children
I saw Skynyrd many times with the first time in the mid 70s and then in the 80s and 90s. Loved them so much, I now play in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band "Almost Skynard" Great job and thanks for posting this.
Complete awesomeness, all of them.
One of the best bands ever!
Ronnie knew how to paint a story with just a few words......"whiskey bottles....brand new cars.....oak tree you're in my way"......there ya go...you know EXACTLY what's going on in ELEVEN words.
Yeah, then it was a damn shame Allan Collins checked the first two boxes and then missed the tree but went into a ditch.
@@DexterHaven Gary completed the trifecta. :-)
That ending smile was a "gamble", though, unless he cashed a ticket in heaven. @@bloozedaddy
Cool
Zactkly. He could also create a sense of place with a few words. Barefoot poet from westside swampy liveoak shantytown.
I was born in 1961 in Jacksonville. No wonder they became my absolute favorite band of all time.
Greatest American Rock Band ever!
A good man will be missed

Good Southern people, and Jacksonville Fla.- that's a great city!
DR. CRANKNSTEIN the the best city in the state for FLORIDA it was my sweet home of Florida I was Born Alabama Birmingham Sweet Home Alabama
This song Sweet Home Alabama Get my brain started to feel Proud and safe and sound
..does Florida really still have any southern people, though?...I am from from North Georgia, and we get literally TONS of people that move in from Florida..most of them sound and act like they came from up North...
Legend
Gone way, way, way, too damn soon. That tragic day rivals the day the music died in 1959.
The music they made from the south will live on forever, no matter what these sad "FUCKS" do trying to erase Robert E. Lee and his Rebel Flag!!!
Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!
Can't believe more fans have not seen this !!!.
Press F to pay respects to Allen Collins who literally got no mention in all of this...
Yep I do agree
F
F
Also they really shafted Ed King on this. Sheesh.
Skarp-Hedin ye
great footage of these guys thanks
When I get to heaven me and Ronnie are going to figure out a way to go back to the st John's river and go wild shiner fishing together
Seems like such simple friendly families that raised good solid men and women. Hope they come to Australia in the future!
Allen Collins had that GIBSON 'FIREBIRD' for long time, even back in 1971...WOW ! That Guitar travelled the world ! Like to know where it is now, and play it !
WILDBILL212 I think it's in the rock and role Hall of Fame
Gary and Allen guitars got stole. The Firebird et white satin gibson. Allen came back with the Gibson Explorer and Gary with Les paul and a SG custom red
yeah and I found a 1974 firebird for 700 I bought it last week
MY FAVORITE GODDAMN BAND!

Great band with great players and singer... Wow
I drove my 280Z to the concert in Detroit ran out of gas at the entrance, epic days!!!
"I had to take Ronnie out of school 'n tend to him a little bit"...typical southern Mom...
Kids behave better in school when they know Mom with deal with them if the don't.
Poor Allen Collins 😭😭😭😭😭
Drinking and grief killed him early. Imagine, having to see your band play every night while you are paralyzed from a drunk driving crash, because a judge says so. No worse sentence then that, then the pneumonia set it.
1:25 man those classic 80’s Carreras are very cool, I still remember those ....Miami Vice was the show to watch ...

LOVE and SOUL. All else be damned.

Amen!
True good ol boys
Allen Collins died in 1990, you can see him backstage for a few.... These clips are from the 80s... Great stuff tho
Nice doc !!!!!! Love it!!

That it was.
No Ed King = no sweet home...
Eds great
im his son, I agree
Or Freebird!!!!
No Ronnie, No Allen, No Billy, No Leon, No Ed, Its just a Cover Band with Johnny, and Gary
All,am brothers
Such a sad sight to see AC in that shape.........man why did he have to get in that dam wreck...
He was an addict and refused to get well...his girl friend died to to that car crash...pot is a gate way drug and for looser Godbless you and yours
Billy was in some Christian rock bands.
And Allan Collins heard this on stage every night. "Whiskey bottles, brand new car; oak tree, you're in my way... You fool, you." That damn drinking culture was a false siren to ruin.
Billy was a true believer!
@@annaleonardi6299 Interesting theory, but loser is spelled with one O.
Saw them live in Charlotte n c in the early 70,s all day concert with numerous bands
I love this new too me.
After that tour they did I heard Judy vanzant sued the band for the profits they made!
Yep and they signed a new contract with the widows, they each get 15% from each show the new Skynyrd plays. Not a bad deal for marrying the right guy.
Ed King was a guitar player from the south.....well, sorta.
Southern California 😊
Yeah that was funny
They left out that Billy Powel was a roadie for the band first
I wish I lived in the time when forming a band was a thing but fk it I’m gonna do it anyway
I used to hate Lynard skyward when I was teen agerThe people who like them were necks even though my parents who were from the Carolinas they all hated Sex pistols and the Ramones the bands I was into. As I got older I listened to them And fell in love with them
@Heywood Jablowme Skynyrd influences come straight from the UK
That's funny, because I used to hate the Sex Pistols and the Ramones!...And I still do!! 😜
Exactly me too.
Now that Gary s gone that's the end of it all .
Yep.

The West side is the best side, Duval.
This was made for a VHS tape so time was limited. Probably why Ed was only briefly mentioned. I wish I still had that tape! I was at their softball game with 96 Rock.

October 20.1977.the day the music died
Did Lynyrd Skynyrd ever play the Capitol theater in Westchester county?
❤
Would have been nice to throw some names
on the screen, I recognize Ronnie, and Steve,
but not all of the others.
Wow, I was really surprised to see them pray.
I am from there home town they are Christian people...and down to earth they are human like the rest of us God bless you and yours
@ retro
Why ?
Heywood Jablowme who’s judgmental?
This has got to be before 94 because Artimus Pyle is in the band here
Yeah the Capitol Theatre in Passaic closed in '87.
I named my only child after Ronnie Van Zant's father. When I was just a kid myself, a lifelong lover and fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd, I watched a documentary and seeing the pain in Ronnie's dad's eyes and just feeling how much he loved and missed his son impacted me greatly, for I grieved the loss of such greatness, too.

That was very touching. Thank you for sharing.
Beautifully said🕊️🙏❤️
This segment showed ZERO respect for Ed King.
And Allen Collins too...litterally cutted out!
Yeah, don't get that 5 second segment about Ed. Van Zant treated Ed like garbage for a large part of his short tenure with the band, even with all his monumental achievements in writing and playing. Then again Ed was a nice, quiet guy from Glendale, CA....had zero in common with the southern boys.

Where did they get all that top notch equipment so early on?
Did I miss it, or did they kind of skip Allen Collins? A few pictures but that's it. How disappointing!
FFF-F-N-F!!! Lol!! If you had what Allen had,,, you didn’t need no acknowledgement from no one!!! But WE all knew!!
Saw them in Nashville with j giels REO speedwagon ZZ TOP and skynyrd best concert I ever attended.
Poor Ed needed some more air time too
F no Skynyrd without Allen Collins
Ronnie looks like his momma ❤
At 8:50 is that Greensboro and Asheboro on the sign?
Yeah, NC
The one question that I wish anyone would ask , or would HAVE asked of any of the then surviving members/crew was, what went through their mind their very first time flying again after the crash. Myself I probably would have never ever flown again, or if so someone would have to tranq dart me and haul me on the plane. No way in hell. - L
