You're very lucky to see that original lineup, I was going to just 8 days later and the plane went down. I have a DVD they did in Germany 1974 with a few songs on it.
As a Fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd from the beginning was Gary Rossington my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarplayer and guy i will miss him so much. But this formation will keep the music alive like others said its a way of live R.I.P All Lynyrd Skynyrd Orginals and other members My condoleance to Dale Krantz and the Kids,Family and Friends from the Netherlands.
To you all here, Gary on his Death Bed , told Johhny and Rickey to keep on Playing the Music, This is what Gary wanted, Keep the Music Alive, Cousin Figel
Amen!!!!! That's exactly what Gary and Ronnie and the whole band wanted was to create something that would last forever and they surely did! Thank you Ronnie, Gary and the whole lynyrd skynyrd family for keeping the name,the songs and the legacy alive for all generations!!!!!!
@@DCB728 interesting take on it. I think I will stick with the wishes of Gary Rossington, though. You're ditching some of the best musicians in the industry. Ones picked by the originals, such as Gary Rossington. Hell, Rickey Medlocke is close to an original. Played with them in 1971-72 and sang lead on a few songs on their first album. JVZ gets a lot of credit for us even still having LS around right now. Look up when the guys got him to sing when they first got back together in 87. Michael Cartellone been with them since 99. Mark Matejka, 2009. Those guys are there with blessings and earned rights. And you guys are going to ditch them like this?
Gary Rossington wanted Lynard skynard to keep going..why?? Because he knew rock n roll would live on...and his band was the best!!! RIP and may the freebirds in heaven look down and say how awesome and proud they are of you!!!
I am frigging shocked that they didn't put the camera on Damon Johnson during his solo on That Smell. Gary picked him to take his place and he has done an outstanding job. Most people haven't bothered to research Damon's pedigree. He's a founding member, lead guitarist and lead vocalist of Brother Cane. You know, "Got No Shame"? Good heavens, show him some respect. Skynyrd's bass play is amazing as well. When they audition somebody, you bet your ass they better sound like Skynyrd. They all deserve credit. Stop focusing on Johnny and Rickey and sometimes, Sparky. Michael Cartellone has been in the band longer than Ronnie was.
@2v_5r84 I agree. In opinion, the first two albums were their launch point and defined their sound. As far as importance in the band, I think Bob Burns was integral to their core sound and groove. I really wish he could have stayed with the band.
my first Casset was Give me Back My Bullet. I was just little kid and I love southern Rock because the Radio played such great music!! My Mom told me I was born the wrong time lol. Music meant so much to at a early time in my life. God RIP 🙏 boys😢😢❤
A ellos sumarles las coristas, también fundadoras de la banda, Jo Jo, Cassie y la tercera cuyo nombre no recuerdo. Descansen en paz genios del maravilloso rock clásico.
For all those knocking the current line-up. Rickey & Johnny especially of course have legacy. Hell it's JVZ's DNA. Next, Gary wanted the Legacy to live on. It's a Tribute. Next, NONE of the musicians are 2nd tier slouches. All top notch. Next, LS was a touring, working musicians band. They still are, and LS fans know it's a Tribute now, a DAMN PERFECT ONE, and they love it, love seeing & hearing the songs they Love, live. Last, you don't think Royalties aren't helping family ? Children & Grandchildren & will benefit great grandchildren, maybe beyond ? Ronnie, Allen, Gary, the whole LS family didn't earn that ??? Hell yes they did. It's THEIR legacy, their history, their families, their songs. Who are ANY of us to knock their decisions ? Love em, or just listen to the albums & watch OLD video, or support up & comers, or go see Taylor Swift I guess. Long Lyve Lynyrd Skynyrd 🎶🎸🕊️
@@DCB728 I consulted my Crystal Ball 🔮 about what Johnny & Judy & the rest of the LS family thinks of your opinion. Newsflash : They have family blood & legal rights so ... they don't care about your "blessing". They're staying true to the music & play it like family. Just don't go, & get over it, & yourself 👍🤣
@in2livinit They don't care about my blessing? Oh my, I am so crushed! How will I ever go on living? Just because they have blood and a legal right to do what they're doing, it still doesn't change the fact that they are a tribute band. It's all about the $$$. Remember the 3 original member rule they had? I couldn't care less if this tribute band plays Skynyrd songs. Just change the name.
I have no problem with the band name, we can all vote on that with our wallets. But speaking of “original” members, my impression was that Gary didn’t want Artimus in the band. Is there any bad blood between Artimus and the rest of the band? He could get that number from 0 to 1. And as a long-time vegan, he might live until the the next generation of grandkids are ready to join the band…
@bbb4ut Artimus was in the reformed band till 1991. Yes, there is bad blood-it's all out there. Artimus hates all the greed involved, Judy, Gary and the rest prevented Artimus from publishing his autobiography, they tried to stop his movie about the crash etc. I'm team Artimus all the way. Too bad Judy didn't stick with the 3 original member rule. Screw any kind of integrity for the bands legacy. Just squeeze every last buck out of it.
I like some tribute bands especially Dark Star Orchestra, but these guys calling themselves Lynyrd Skynyrd doesn't feel right. It's a stretch imo when these older bands get down to 1 or 2 original members and keep the old name.
GFR without Mark Farner is a cover band, TYA without Alvin Lee is a cover band, not Lynyrd Skynyrd because Riocky is an old member and above all their music is always of excellent quality see more
You go Jonny ,and the band.thank you for carrying on your brother's legacy. And you people insulting Jonny and his band for what he is doing. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN GET AFTER IF!!
You nailed it on the head. "Johnny and his band". This is NOT Lynyrd Skynyrd. I couldn't care less if this tribute band plays Skynyrd songs, but don't use the name. NO original members= tribute band.
Every member that tragically passed from this band would’ve wanted this band to live on and carry the name and legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Any true fan and hardcore follower would want the same. These new comers were carefully selected and are phenomenal players. They look cool as hell and play their asses off. The band sounds like Lynyrd Skynyrd should sound and their Southern Pride shows…Long Live Skynyrd!
YES SIR. THANK YOU JOHNNY AND THE REST OF THE CREW FOR CARRYING ON THE FANTASTIC LEGACY OF THE LYNARD SKYNARD BAND. HOPEFULLY IN OCTOBER OF MY 65TH BIRTHDAY I CAN SEE YALL IN ST AUGUSTINE. MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE. SIMPLE MAN. I NEED YOU. THE LAST REBEL AND BORN TO RUN. THANK YOU YALL ROCK !!!!

Great tribute band, but they're not getting the lead guitar solos note for note like the originals always did, and the vox are too twining country. Subjective
Lynard skynard died a long time ago. We fans at the time lost a big part of our hearts. These folks can call themselves skynard, but they are damn sure NOT
True, but these people are the ones keeping the music alive, and that's what it's about...isn't it.....and these guys have been doing it much longer than the originals.
I was there in 77 ...a different world. After that,It took a lot for me to even look. But...Huey nailed it .along with a great drummer in Steel town 😯....but this is garbage! A very shabby tribute band😐
Give it a rest please. the founding members are gone. out of respect you should stop playing their music for your pockets$$$$ Greed overrides respect sometimes. sad shit.
This is MUSIC! Not the crap they CALL music these days. God bless L.S.! Thank you for ALL the memories. RIP GARY
In my 20s and glad to say I agree! In school I would always hear people listen to that rap crap while I'm over jamming to real music 👍

Just remember that the old timers of you age called this crap. 😂 music is music brother ☮️😎

Amen
Ricky still sounds great as do the rest of the boys keep on rocking let that free bird fly
Rickey should sing some lead vocals. A few from Blackfoot or even some of his songs from the First And Last album.
Loved them since the late 70's. Have seen them only once... in Hamburg🎸♥♥♥

Tomorrow they gonna go play in my country, Brazil and I'm going watch the concert with my family. Thanks God for Southern Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!🙏👊
Bom show pra galera…
Fui vê-los a Cleveland_Ohio no dia 20 de Maio. Aproveitei e visitei o Museu do Rock. Great!
Can't wait to see them next week. Lost count how many times I have seen them. Always Great!!!
