The stars of this performance however were Travis Tritt and Dale Krantz.....my God, could that woman sing and belt out raw emotion with that gravely and seductive vocal tone!
The great Dale Krantz. And here's a little known fact for ya, they sniped her from .38 Special, she was in their band when Rossington Collins put their act together after the plane crash and they got her to come onboard, she's what put an end to what sanity Allen Collins had left, he fell for her and they started a thing then she dumped him for Gary Rossington which really put the zap on Allen's head and drove him over the edge.
Saw them in san diego long time ago. Ross, billy powell, leon wilkeson. But one guy i forget, wgo always wore swim trunks. I was front row and i loved it
@@dukecraig2402 Thanks for that tale or anecdote about Dale. That woman had it all going on for lead vocal and front-person for a rock band back then......Rossington-Collins, what a great memory musically, but evidently Dale coming on board created a tension and friction between Allen and Gary.....predictable, she looked to be quite the firecracker....and a feast for the male eyes. Frankly, what do you remember or know about the wonderful female backup singers that Ronnie recurited, the Honkettes? They were beautiful, lusty women as I remember, and included Steve Gaines sister, Cassie, as I recall. Who knows how things could have worked out for the original crew if that airplane crash hadn't happened.
listen to Robert Jon and the Wreck, Marcus King, Georgia Thunderbirds and for dang sure listen to Dirty Honey if you want to hear some bands carrying on Southern Rock !!!!
Wow Dale Krantz sold me my 1985 Les Paul guitar in 1985 at the Jam box in Jacksonville Florida. She was visiting Tim and Bea who were the owners. I still have that Les Paul sunburst and it's still my favorite. Rest in peace my brother Gary. I need to pay another visit to Orange Park Florida.
@DavidB I’d give almost anything to have my 76 LP Standard back. Thought I was done with guitars and bands and sold everything. I was a fool to say the least.
@@TheChef470 - he played bass on the "Pronounced.." album because Leon had left temporarily, but those basslines had been composed by Leon. Ed stated that himself.
Here in 2024, I'm reading that everybody is giving props to every last one of the band except for the late, great Leon Wilkeson, and that needs to change! Brother Leon was one of the greatest 'lead bass' players around, and added a 4th guitar line to everything the band did with his bass. Listen to Paul McC, or Berry Oakley if you wonder what I mean. He wasn't happy playing only 5 notes in a song, he made his 4 strings sing. Listen closely to this song; that's baby faced Leon thumpin' his way into the halls of Rock history, folks, and never forget it! He cheated death twice in his life: once in the Skynyrd plane crash, and once having his throat cut in the tour bus, but he hung in there.
They were very close to Lynyrd Skynyrd band wise with a few additional people who had some Skynyrd affiliation. So with that foundation they practically couldn’t miss. But even good bands fail. They didn’t fail but once Allen Collins wife died he just wasn’t able to cope. What a damn shame because they started out so great. Great song with powerful singing.
Me! When this song came out, my rocker father was destroyed to hear me say that I would be dropping my pursuits of becoming a lawyer to become the next Dale Krantz 🤣. I got close to both, but that doesn't count with either. 🤣🤣🤣
I admire the fact that they call themselves Rossington Collins( & not L.S.) This lady can sing...& loving Travis TRITT... this song is one of my all time favorites~~....Travis does GREAT..
If there was a pet peeve that I have from the LS farewell concert which I saw back in December in Baltimore, it was that I would've liked to have heard this song performed. Granted , I wasn't expecting it, but with Dale being present, it would've been nice.
Saw them many years ago in N. Carolina. Their first tour after the plane crash. What I remember most is the encore at the end. They brought out a mike stand and put Ronnie's hat on it, then they proceeded to play Free Bird with no one singing. I still get chills when I remember that.
Dale is one of my favorite female singers of all time. Back in the 70s, we in rock radio played this track and others from that album. One of my favorites was one good man. Dale sings her heart out on that one, oh heck, all of them.
I saw The Rossington Collins Band on a hot summer day in Downtown Detroit 1980 at Hart Plaza and they were fantastic. The audience went crazy for them and you could tell they appreciated the reception they got.
I saw these guys a few years after the deaths of Lynyrd Skynyrd members. They ended their show with a spotlight focusing on a vacant microphone playing Freebird. A fantastic and classy tribute.
@@stevemcclanahan9395 no doubt. Pretty Hairy. To this day I’m a huge Allen Collins Fan. He’s a forgotten Guitar player. People don’t realize He was self taught. God Bless Em. 🙏
IMHO....How in this world now, compare this TOTAL JAM CLASSIC to songs playing now?. I Thank The Heavens Every Day, That I Lived Thru The Best Generations Of Classic Music Eras - Rock, Heavy Metal, Soul, Disco, New Wave & ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN R N R !!!! I am a Southerner Rocker, FL born, raised & still living here.
Spend a night with hanging with Collins and Rossington after they played Mass... and came to see our band at a nearby club... then I got to sing with Johnny V in Albany, and he played with my band The Hittman and the Missing Body Parts, and called me one of the best singers he's ever heard; then I got hurt and had like 8 back surgeries... such is life. I haven't sung in years.
We still need this kind of Southern Rock in this world. I got to see Rossington/Collins back in the 80s, and I loved it. I am a big fan of all the southern rock bands since I was a teenager in the late 70s.
Dale Krantz is one of the best rock and roll female vocalists in the world. I've always loved her strength as a vocalist. I never saw Rossington Collins Band in concert, but I did start listening to them when I was stationed in Germany back in 1979-1980. Awesome group; great musicians.
This song always sends shivers down my spine. It's so fucking well done. The production support these guys got throughout their career deserves a hall of fame induction. It's amazing that a bunch of guys who were very much the real deal could write such incredible music that was transcendental in so many aspects.
This is a great southern rock tune, Travis and Dale hit it perfect, also, I see 'Ed King' rocking his guitar there.... nice... you all rock ! fan in Kalamazoo, Michigan USA * * * *
I have a Southern Rock band called Southern Comfort. We cover this and it is soooooo fun to play. At first the cadence of the vocals are a challenge to hit in the right areas of emphasis. But with the harmonies and all the dynamics and tempo changes in the song…. So upbeat which then changes into floaty breakdowns with keyboard twinkles and dreamy vocal harmonies and then rears back into a ripping guitar solo, cowbell and the pounding on the keys…. It’s a unique and rockin song. Can’t wait to play again soon. I need my fix!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome Ed King Mr Strat, Gary Rossington Mr Les Paul, Allen Collins jamming his Gibson too!❤ can't forget Billy Powell keyboardist extraodinaire!❤😊🎉😊❤
Rip Billy, Ed and finally Gary. His wife Dale was and still is an excellent frontwoman who has similar talents as Pat Benatar in the late great Ruby Starr. Her coming along sure helped Allen and Gary write some Great Southern rock AOR tunes in the 80s. Actually not real long after they healed up in the plane crash! tunes in the early 80s
Mrs. Rossington i am so very sorry for your loss. You are still the greatest female vocalist i have every seen in my life time. Thank you Dale for sharing Gary with us. My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Gary at the meet and greet in Biloxi before the show. I have a picture standing with him. Over the course of my life i have seen you and Gary perform many times. Around 20 total. The favorites, front row center stage the Woodlands Texas. I brought all my favorite albums. I could see you and Gary both smile when I held up my Rossington Album. I brought my Rossington Colllins albums, Vanzant album, and some Skynyrd stuff. I did not try to get Gary to sign them. I was just trying to convey my appreciation. I saw you both in one week in Florida the first time in Orlando then the show in Tampa. That was awesome. In Orlando, i sat 3rd row on the right side in front of Garyi I never sat down, Johnny threw a bottle of Jack at the flag behind stage pissed, then said clearly. "People don't (insert beep) sit down at Lynyrd Skynyrd shows! Then in Tampa, everyone stood up! Like their supposed to! I was sitted 2nd level stage right. I knew you saw my wife and I because you pointed us or me out to Gary. I'm guessing you said. "Is that the guy who never sat down in Orlando?" Again in Biloxi, i brought my wife and son. It was his 1st Skynyrd show. He was like 13 yo. I bought the best single sit ticket i could find. Row 4 infront of Ricky. He absolutely loved it. Again Biloxi my son with his girlfriend the last time I got to see Billy play. Again in Biloxi 2nd level first row sitting behind you, with my wife. First set was Rossington Collins, you sang this song. Second set was Skynyrd. Mrs. Rossington you were such a good sport. When we got your attention, we signed for you to bring bring Gary over for a solo. You were smiling and laughing! No Gary did not play a solo behind the back round singers. But at some point you pointed us out to him, agian guessing your must of said something along the lines of. Do you know those lunatic? When Gary was headed back on stage that night to play Free Bird. He glanced at us politely smiled gave a small bow, as we cheered and went wild. Dale Rossington you are not a Back Round Singer. Your a star! Thank you just does not feel like enough! But Thank you 100 times is a start.
P.S. in the Woodlands, I was 2nd row. After Freebird Gray stood right in front of us. He sent 2 picks my way. I missed both. Then he shot out 5 or 6 and people were diving for them. I just smiling and he nails me in the chest like a Chinese star. Still got that pick also. My favorite item will always be the picture standing next to Gary. Master guitar man!
I believe there all gone now! If there's a Rock n Roll Heaven! Ronnie is leading them all! RIP all members of The " Greatest " Southern Rock Band of all times! Shawn.
I saw RCB several times in their prime at Franklin D. Lawrence Stadium in Portsmouth, VA surrounded by coolers full of Bud, blankets, hot babes in tube tops and motorcycles! Was magical. Allen was alive and well and Dale was on top of her game vocally and and a force to recon with. RIP Gary. We love you for all the gifts you gave a grateful Southern Rock Nation! Love and Peace y'all.
Was lucky enough to see the 1st show at Tennessee theater in Nashville..My girlfriend stuck her high heal in an ex girlfriends head...I felt really bad about that, but a great show none the less. Sorry Rhonda where ever you are.
When I first heard this song... I was completely Blown Away.... Fantastically done.!!! Southern Rock and Roll at it's Finest.!!Ronnie would have Loved it.!!!! ❤Heck Yeah Mr Dilly Approved.. Bo.!!!! 👍 🎸 😎 ❤️ 🤟
They were one of my favorite bands of all time. Helluva band. Dale was a beautiful and gracious lady. And I loved her voice so very much. Bless you lady of southern rock and roll!! Thank you dear!!!
Can't help but think of Miss Dale over these last weeks. I sure hope she's got lots of friends surrounding here at this time of despair. . . I saw Skynard 3 yrs ago in London Ont but Dale was not there. So sorry I missed her. What a voice! I was lucky enough to catch a good view of Gary though. What a jammer! I feel blessed that I got to see him with the band. He will be missed so much! Thanks for the memories and all the great tunes Gary. We all miss you.
I saw these guys, in Nashville, at the Paramount theater in the 70's or early 80's. They blew me away then and still do! Rest in peace Gary Rossington.
Sooooo good! I love this song and you rarely hear it on the radio anymore, even the classic rock stations! Reminds me of warm summer nights hanging with my friends, learning about life and love in the early 80s! Man I miss those days! The world was so simple back then! It’s so wicked and twisted now!
Love her/ their stage presence, entertainers , Travis fit right in. They are not wrapped up inself, making it like your lucky to see them. They make you feel more like, they are more lucky to have you see them perform. Its almost like a lost art. Black oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy. Head East with Don't Misunderstand Me. I mean the best thing country got going is Little Big Town and Boondocks. (NASHVILLE COUNTRY)
i got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd 3 months before the plane crash...and Rossington / Collins in 1981. Many people dont realize that Rossington / Collins was essentially Skynyrd without Ronnie and Steve. Everybody else was there...
Ed King was a BOSS. RIP Outsider.
THE King...!!
Lucky enough to be a part of the Skynyrd crew for a while. Good times!
The stars of this performance however were Travis Tritt and Dale Krantz.....my God, could that woman sing and belt out raw emotion with that gravely and seductive vocal tone!
“She’s a wailing bitch” Allen Collins
The great Dale Krantz.
And here's a little known fact for ya, they sniped her from .38 Special, she was in their band when Rossington Collins put their act together after the plane crash and they got her to come onboard, she's what put an end to what sanity Allen Collins had left, he fell for her and they started a thing then she dumped him for Gary Rossington which really put the zap on Allen's head and drove him over the edge.

Dale is a bad moto scooter 10-4
2019? Still enjoying 2024.
i have not heard this in years, still great music. RIP Gary.

@DavidB I’d give almost anything to have my 76 LP Standard back. Thought I was done with guitars and bands and sold everything. I was a fool to say the least.
Billy was the real “Piano Man”
I loved this band, had a tee shirt that said "Anytime, Anyplace Anywhere". Girls loved it. RIP Gary, Allen, Billy and Ronnie.
Yeah . Allen Collins band . Still have mine . 1983
Same...lol
These boys were bad.....Lyn Sky.....
This song hit my core upon the first listen, it still affects me the same today. RIP Gary Rossington. It is "Pure Energy".
Me 2
I don’t know, but I think it’s that infamous inverted triad there leading us right into chorus. I’m a sucker for it every time.
Same here and the Billy Powell part is so cool
❤❤❤❤

The late Ed King. One of the founders of LS and the man who wrote Sweet Home Alabama.
RIP Ed.
Ed was awesome, both as guitar player and as songwriter, but he was not one of the founders.
@@Nocturnbandofficial you're right.
Amen......he also played the original bassline on Freebird. : )

This band is almost forgotten about when it comes to southern rock. What a shame. They were awesome.
Lynyrd Skynyrd forever!!
It’s skynard
This isn’t Rossington Collins. It’s Skynyrd
I actually liked Rossington Collins better than Lynyard Skynard.
@@loristoneking4536
Me too!
Gary Rossington - ride every highway, free as a bird. RIP
Thanks for the music
Dale had that bluesy voice kind of similar to a Janice-type sound. Great it was. I remember when The band come out. Tenn in 80
RIP "Prince Charming"...my thoughts and prayers up for Dale and their daughters, as well as all friends and fans of Gary's...very sad day...
Can't go wrong with Rossington, Collins and King!
And Powell.
Billy tickles those keys now.
Absolutely agree
I knew I see king but am not seeing Alan,
2:32 that's Randall Hall playing Allen's parts with the firebird with the tele neck on it . Allen was already in a wheelchair at this point
2020 and this still moves me. Thank you
2022 still rocks!!!!
2023 and it still rocks! RIP Gary!

The most underrated band of all time !! Dales voice and Garys guitar riffs were incredible ! RIP Gary 😢
Who ARE these folks who are providing us with severely incorrect band ratings??? Their heads on a platter!!!
This band was not underrated and I was lucky to see them a few times
Gary wasn't playing the riffs. Gary was on the right side of the stage..
Ed king playing the riffs , That Barry Harwood played . Randall Hall playing Allen Collins guitar solo on this one.
Man can she belt it out or what. Very strong singer.
who,s still listening in 2024!
You know it!
Me!!!!
Me! When this song came out, my rocker father was destroyed to hear me say that I would be dropping my pursuits of becoming a lawyer to become the next Dale Krantz 🤣. I got close to both, but that doesn't count with either. 🤣🤣🤣

The first I've seen of this. I lived in Marietta Ga. when that album came out. Back in Nashville since '80. Killer album. We miss you guys.

@@ktwebbdevil Actually this is the Rossingto Band, who opened for Skynyrd on the Tribute Tour in '87, of course with Travis guesting
One of my Favs too.
@byardw actually it's the Rossington Band opening for the Rossington Band. The band Lynyrd Skynyrd ended on Oct 20, 1977

Again in Biloxi 2nd level first row sitting behind you, with my wife.
First set was Rossington Collins, you sang this song. Second set was Skynyrd.
Mrs. Rossington you were such a good sport. When we got your attention, we signed for you to bring bring Gary over for a solo.
You were smiling and laughing!
No Gary did not play a solo behind the back round singers.
But at some point you pointed us out to him, agian guessing your must of said something along the lines of.
Do you know those lunatic?
When Gary was headed back on stage that night to play Free Bird. He glanced at us politely smiled gave a small bow, as we cheered and went wild.
Dale Rossington you are not a Back Round Singer.
Your a star!
Thank you just does not feel like enough!
But Thank you 100 times is a start.
Yes sure that happened Gary noticed u guys out of 10000 ppl!!!
I have the photos of all shows.
Not worried about what you think.
P.S. in the Woodlands, I was 2nd row.
After Freebird Gray stood right in front of us.
He sent 2 picks my way.
I missed both.
Then he shot out 5 or 6 and people were diving for them.
I just smiling and he nails me in the chest like a Chinese star.
Still got that pick also.
My favorite item will always be the picture standing next to Gary.
Master guitar man!
This is what this generation was raised on!real music
I've played this at least a dozen times since learning of Mr Rossington's passing. Never gets old. Dale is AMAZING!!
Lol Gary could say it! I have always said not only is she beautiful and kind, she has got pipes!! Love you Dale❤
That fabulous bass !!! ❤❤❤ great dancing song! The keys and their harmonies are sooo good! 🎶 “To Find You” 🎶🎶🎶
I believe there all gone now! If there's a Rock n Roll Heaven! Ronnie is leading them all! RIP all members of The " Greatest " Southern Rock Band of all times! Shawn.
That keyboard part always brings me back to when I first heard it over the radio and I was much younger. Life had a different feel .
Thank you for the oldie
I saw RCB several times in their prime at Franklin D. Lawrence Stadium in Portsmouth, VA surrounded by coolers full of Bud, blankets, hot babes in tube tops and motorcycles! Was magical. Allen was alive and well and Dale was on top of her game vocally and and a force to recon with. RIP Gary. We love you for all the gifts you gave a grateful Southern Rock Nation! Love and Peace y'all.
RIP Gary. Your music will live on. March 5, 2023.
Was lucky enough to see the 1st show at Tennessee theater in Nashville..My girlfriend stuck her high heal in an ex girlfriends head...I felt really bad about that, but a great show none the less. Sorry Rhonda where ever you are.
Good music never gets old...Better than what's out there today...
It gets better with age !
Damn straight
Thats for sure!
Just forget the old stuff.
Don't forget the old stuff.
When I first heard this song... I was completely Blown Away.... Fantastically done.!!! Southern Rock and Roll at it's Finest.!!Ronnie would have Loved it.!!!! ❤Heck Yeah Mr Dilly Approved.. Bo.!!!! 👍 🎸 😎 ❤️ 🤟
Apparently I "liked" this a few years ago. Can I "like it again"? ...and again ...and again.
Circa 1979......I was in the NAVY back then and loved the southern rock and roll..... may it live forever !!!!!!!!!!!! ❤
Man they don’t make music like this any longer, these great artist will be greatly missed!
No they don't. I miss Gary and Allen. RIP. God Bless you Dale
you are so right brother.
Rest in Peace Gary. Man some of the best dang music ever, Southern Rock.
Great Southern Rock Band They Were , We need more of them today !!
Damn, that is an understatement!
Gary Rossington and Allen Collins were the best of the best rip legends
They were one of my favorite bands of all time. Helluva band. Dale was a beautiful and gracious lady. And I loved her voice so very much. Bless you lady of southern rock and roll!! Thank you dear!!!
Underrated song !!! Gary’s guitar 🎸 smoked! Saw them at red rocks amphitheater in 1988.skynard was in the southern grove!
I love this! Dale Krantz is an amazing vocalist; it's so cool to see and hear her live. Thanks for uploading💖🤘
R.I.P. Gary!
Sure hate to see him go!
Can't help but think of Miss Dale over these last weeks. I sure hope she's got lots of friends surrounding here at this time of despair. . . I saw Skynard 3 yrs ago in London Ont but Dale was not there. So sorry I missed her. What a voice! I was lucky enough to catch a good view of Gary though. What a jammer! I feel blessed that I got to see him with the band. He will be missed so much! Thanks for the memories and all the great tunes Gary. We all miss you.
Wow, Travis Tritt has a GREAT rock voice!!! I love the song and now this version!
I saw these guys, in Nashville, at the Paramount theater in the 70's or early 80's. They blew me away then and still do! Rest in peace Gary Rossington.
Damn man that quick kiss she gives him on the cheek as they go out at the end..choked me up!
RIP Gary Rossington. You shall be missed!!
The good old days. We were so blessed to have witnessed this first hand. RIP. 🙏🏼♥️
Sooooo good! I love this song and you rarely hear it on the radio anymore, even the classic rock stations! Reminds me of warm summer nights hanging with my friends, learning about life and love in the early 80s! Man I miss those days! The world was so simple back then! It’s so wicked and twisted now!
I interviewed them in 1988 in Savannah. Nice people. Always living in the shadow of tragedy ..
Dale is so adorable.. Travis must have felt blessed to sing along side of her. She has a powerful voice with a cute face
Love her/ their stage presence, entertainers , Travis fit right in. They are not wrapped up inself, making it like your lucky to see them. They make you feel more like, they are more lucky to have you see them perform. Its almost like a lost art.
Black oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy.
Head East with Don't Misunderstand Me. I mean the best thing country got going is Little Big Town and Boondocks. (NASHVILLE COUNTRY)
Incredible! One of my favorites! Southern Rock at its best!
i got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd 3 months before the plane crash...and Rossington / Collins in 1981. Many people dont realize that Rossington / Collins was essentially Skynyrd without Ronnie and Steve. Everybody else was there...
