I've lived in Jacksonville for over 20 years and I'm never amazed that folks come from far and wife to walk the same paths Ronnie and co would have. When music hits you a certain way you feel compelled sometimes to go that extra mile to pay back the gratitude. Thanks for posting. Been to all the spots you were.
I don't know if I have to write a comment Lynyrd Skynyrd, but if I do. There's not many words you can say. The most talented group of people together I have ever heard, I I wo14 year's old and delivering newspapers and read about the plane crash. That's when I really started listening to them. Collins,Rossington, Games.Three of the most talented guitarists I have ever heard in one band. And Ronnie's voice and lyrics amazing. Only the best die young, they actually give me chills. Love You guys. Hope to see you some day.
Never heard the demo before for Tuesday’s Gone. Absolutely loved it. Great job. I bet it was quite an experience being at the spot where Ronnie spent his boyhood and inspiration for his music. RIP Ronnie Van Zant. When Ronnie died, so did Lynyrd Skynyrd. All that the band is today is a tribute band.
Born and raised on the west side of Jacksonville. Skynyrd is literally instilled into my blood. I pass by these places literally every day and im in that cemetery about once a month. You should have stopped by to see Allen Collins and Billy Powell while you were visiting Ronnie and Steve...They are out there too...
Very cool. Ty for posting this... I was born the day the plane crashed. Feel a very special connection with them, ill be playing a skynyrd at my funeral. Ty
Skynyrd is American history. The only other artist whose fans make such pilgrimages is Elvis. Both worked hard, blessed with exceptional talent, and left us much too early.
Neither Van Zandt, nor the Gaines, are buried under the headstone. All 3 are buried in undisclosed locations. The headstones were moved towards the cemetary entrance.
You are right the actual site is in Green Cove Springs Florida it's actually Orange Park right before the mall on the right been there many times I live in the area and there is a bench made out of Marvel that Charlie Daniels inscribed
Something about the band members & PE teacher 'Skinner being buried in the same graveyard gets me too -Sure people in the same area end up in the same cemetery, but made me think of how we're together a few years in this life, playing different roles, older younger either way same ending, then it's all gone & others are living where we did - but I hope there's more? -"Leon Wilkeson was declared dead not once but 3 times, waking up only to say he'd been sitting on a cloud-shaped log with Ronnie and Duane Allman. “Ronnie told me, ‘Boy get yourself out of here, it’s not your time yet, get on out of here”
The soda bottle collector RVZ talks about is his childhood Frynd Gene Odom. He said The VanZants were too good to take soda bottles to the store. He would go behind Ronnie's house and put a bottle on each finger. Cash them in and get a moon pie and a coke. On the day Street Survivors came out I turned 15. Three days later I was horrified, still am. Southern Rock was formed in this house.
Thank you for this post, I've seen others but this one has a more intimate feeling to it. And Tuesday's gone with the wind was an excellent choice to play with this video. Thank you
Thank you! They say imitation is the sincerest source of flattery and with that said, I was the first and the only one other than Gene Odom that has all the correct locations.
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.
@@chiasanzes9770 from Gene. And there are hundreds of pieces of that plane. Including control panels etc. down south there are many displays of these pieces in Mississippi. There were hundreds of pieces that were just left laying around once the plane was taken away. Furthermore, once the investigation was done they buried piles of the small pieces. YT is full of videos of ppl metal detecting that area and finding pieces.
Thanks for sharing this, it looks like you are a diehard fan like myself! I have the tats to prove it! 43 years ago today we lost the best southern rockers there ever will be!
@@timothysines682 That's awesome! I had a little Southern rock band that was just a little local bar band in my late teens and wasn't even old enough to drink in the bars we played in and had the opportunity to open up one night for the band Kix before their heads got real big! And for our house bar that we played in just about every weekend well, they ended up barring me for a week at the birthday bash that they threw for me after finding out my real age!! LOL!!✌
The Good Book says we are to weep when a baby is born and rejoice when somebody dies. This story reminds me just how hard that Bible verse is to follow because I don't think there was anyone that rejoiced when these talented people passed. Fly on Free bird. We love and greatly miss all of you.😢❤
My cousin seen his last concert in Greenville, South Carolina at the Greenville Memorial Audiotorium Oct 19, 1977. He said it was sold out arena was rocking, my cousin tears up thinking about Ronnie who no doubt left us to soon. Great man & musican Always 🎙🎸 🥁 ❤ ✝️
@@ANONYMOUS-gb4vb you were really close and without your help I wouldnt have located it. It is just a few yards from the Hyde Grove / Jammes intersection. On the video "Gene Odom LS Plane Crash Survivor" at 34:26 - 34:54 Gene shows the tree and at 34:54 you can see a street sign. I couldnt read it too well but I knew It started with a J and ended with MES so I went to Harlow BLVD and just looked all over and found Jammes St. followed that to the "T" intersection and BAM found it thanks
This was confusing. The headstone you see at 3:33 is not there anymore. Went there today. Ronnie's grave is isolated near the pond. He is not by Tammy Michelle or across Leon. When you enter the cemetery keep walking straight, keep right, before the pond his grave is there, alone.
@@andyhamilton8940 This IS Brotherly LOVE ! The Coach didnt like Them First - but The same People knew All of Them - from The same High School ! This IS How IT still goes - Outside of The BIG City USA - Coast to Coast !
Timothy Sines I understand. I was just out there a few weeks ago myself and I did not know Allen Collins was buried across the street. I might make a trip by there today on my way home I’ve never seen it myself
Estoy profundamente consternado , pero no dejo de sentir un dulce sabor de admiracion , agradecimiento y tristeza por esos chicos que vencieron al tiempo. Lynyrd Skynyrd vive.
We will be all gone someday but it sure would be nice to leave behind some great memories like these men, still listen to their music, Great memories of good times and good music I am 72 now and will soon pass on but loved playing thier music in the bands I have been in, although time is passing and all of us will pass into history forgotten over time it was sure Great being able to spend our time with the men and their music in the time that I have had. I would not change a thing I grew up in the best of times. the 50's 60's 70's 80's and 90's. Now times are different and I cannot tell the difference between country and pop music it's all the same and real rock and roll is about gone. All things must pass I guess.

Thanks for that. I am from France and visited the southern states last June, stopped off at the crash site memorial. Skynyrd fan since '76
Don't cry cause it's over , smile cause it happened,

I was celebrating my 13th birthday the day they went down.
@@timothysines682 I was 16 and had tickets to their Philadelphia show when I heard the news. I was devastated.
We saw Skynard 3 times always a party!

So Sad. Make my Heart Hurt. Sherell. 😔
Awesome I did the same thing in 2015 .. gene odom was at Ronnie's grave when I got there .. I wanna go back ✌
Tuesday s gone. Good by my friend, that should have been. I miss you. I felt as though I lost my best friend that day, part of me was gone.
I am a HUGE Skynyrd fan, loved this

What happened to Leon? I'm from Australia and keen to learn as much as I can about the band

You are 💯 right
A shame how they had to move Ronnie after his & Steve's graves were vandalized.
This was perfect, I know Lynyrd Skynyrd fans appreciate this. Awesome, Thank you

Lynyrd Skynyrd My Favorite Band Many Years Still Do From This Day
Rest .in peace Ronnie Van Zant Also Bands Too And Thank You Video
You Great Day 😀👍🏼
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.
That is awesome! It's an original idea and your bringing it to life. Allowing the memory of Ronnie and the original band Lynyrd Skynyrd live on.
Where did you get that metal because there's no any piece from that plane been saved.
@@chiasanzes9770 from Gene. And there are hundreds of pieces of that plane. Including control panels etc. down south there are many displays of these pieces in Mississippi.

Did you complete the guitar yet?
They all might be gone now but there music will live on and Johnny Van Zant will make sure it will live on RIP
Great video!!!! Much love to Lynyrd Skynryd!!!!
Thank you!
nice video, man. thanks for posting it.
Very nice video.
Thanks for sharing this, it looks like you are a diehard fan like myself! I have the tats to prove it! 43 years ago today we lost the best southern rockers there ever will be!
Pretty much love anything Skynard.. I was fortunate enough to have played with Leon a few times back in the 1990's. Miss those days!

Awesome video!
Very touching. The creative life force that powers us all was so so bright in Ronnie and all of Skynyrd's members. R.I.P. ❤
Beautiful video
Thank you!
Fascinating
That’s very awesome that you found the correct store!! Wish we would have seen this one before we did our video! We saw the Hell House one!
Good reason for another visit. LOL Merry Christmas!
It's a common mistake thanks to some suits at Wikipedia.
@@timothysines682 exactly!! Merry Christmas to you guys as well!
@@timothysines682 Somebody needs to correct that!
@@McAndrewTravels You can find Gene Odom or Craig Reed on FB

Great man & musican Always
🎙🎸 🥁 ❤ ✝️
I worked with a guy that was at the last concert also. I was only 10 years ago in 77. I became a huge fan in my early teen years
Ronnie has been moved again, sometime in January of 2022. Same cemetery, different location near the pond.
Really enjoyed watching this video I'm a new subscriber
Thank you so very much Kate! :)
Cool seeing people make videos if this I live in jacksonville
Well Done!
Thank you!
Awesome thanks for that
You're very welcome!
There’s an excellent Southern Rock band making their debut. Bret Allen and the Northern Rebels, check these guys out.
That's sad 😢
Thanks. Gotta go back to the Mayo in J’ville. Sucks.
A depressing state for me…Sassiee..
Will do this tour. Grave and b-n-b.
They tried to dig him up and had to move him to a secret gravesite
Where is the tree that inspired That Smell ?

You only showed Ronnie's an Leon's head stones. Allen is in there to I believe an I think the coach is to.
@El Camino is this the new gravesite of Ronnie? I know his original site was vandalized.
Allen and Coach Skinner are across the Road in another section of the same cemetary.
@@andyhamilton8940 This IS Brotherly LOVE ! The Coach didnt like Them First - but The same People knew All of Them - from The same High School ! This IS How IT still goes - Outside of The BIG City USA - Coast to Coast !
I heard the Curtis Lowe store front actually was tore down. It had a very different name
No photos of Allen Collins grave site? It was just across the street. You were so close.
I know but in my defense, this was taken between rain storms and it started pouring. Hope to visit soon! Thanks for watching :)
Timothy Sines I understand. I was just out there a few weeks ago myself and I did not know Allen Collins was buried across the street.
I might make a trip by there today on my way home I’ve never seen it myself

Really? LOL
