ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC AND AWESOME. THANK YOU THANK YOU. YALL ARE AWESOME. ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAVORITES SIMPLE MAN. I NEED YOU. THE LAST REBEL. BORN TO RUN. YEP STILL HOPING TO MAKE IT TO THE ST AUGUSTINE FLORIDA CONCERT IN OCTOBER MY 65TH BIRTHDAY THANK YOU YALL
Long as little bro is up there carrying on for Ron Who cares. Nothing remains the same forever. Except the spirit. The south never fell. It still lives on.
I've seen over 100 concerts from 1986 til today...I was at this concert and this may have been THE BEST...which is saying something because: 1. LS is not one of my top 10 bands and 2. not one original member performed...but Ricky and Johnnie et al killed and I am SO THANKFUL I went... Leonard Skinner...your band will live FOREVER!
To everyone who's noted that this is a tribute band ... Ricky Medlocke played on LS's first recordings in '71-'72 (as heard on "First and Last"). Rejoined them in '96 (29 years of service, including the formative years). Johnny has filled in for his late brother for 36 years, and knew the prime years' lineup guys personally. Gary gave his approval for them to continue after he was gone. Still enough Skynyrd DNA and sound here to keep the brand name, IMO. As a huge Ronnie/LS fan, my view is that Ronnie et al are smiling somewhere that an incarnation of the band still plays on.
Ricky Medlocke was a Session player, and not really in the band, or at least playing on stage. The band has used this defense in previous litigation: "After the crash, Van Zant's widow, now named Judy Van Zant Jenness, and fellow founding members Gary Rossington and Allen Collins entered into a blood oath that no one would again play under the Lynyrd Skynyrd name" Why don't they live by it now?
I saw them in Salinas in the Rodeo Grounds in 2008, I loved them, they carried of the tradition. My knock on them is they are a tribute band only, they don't write new material.
The band has evolved over the years & even though it's not the original members many of them have been in the band for decades & evidently they still have a sizable audience so who are we to tell them what to do. Hey it's only Rock n Roll.
This is Lynyrd Skynyrd with people replacing the members who are no longer on this earth while they also acknowledge them. Planning to see them this year.
That's easy for people to say Johnny Van zant's been the lead singer of that band for over 30 something and they eventually all passed away but those family still get part of that money and who else is going to play the music any better p then the people it was handed down to so just enjoy the music that's what it's really all about
One of my favorite bands. Watched them at West Palm Beach on July 21, 2023. The guitar riff was so intense, you actually felt the strings pulsating on your chest. F'ing amazing!
There are those that say Lynyrd Skynyrd is just a tribute band. But while not the original members this band is so much more than a tribute band. They are considered family by the original members families and have their blessings to continue. Name me another 'tribute' band than sells out stadiums. Certainly not the joke mock band that now calls themselves Molly Hatchet. This band in its current lineup is still stellar!
@@DCB728 when you post a response...at least do so sober! You ramble and stumble about "playing drums" blah blah blah "guitar for a year" and reference NO ONE ! HA HA HA HA HA HA 😂 😄 😆! What a moron! Hey bozo...you sober?? Want to try again?
@@DCB728 They often add a 2nd night to sold out shows. When they toured with ZZ Top this year they sold out every show! Yawn....you boor me now pal! Be gone...you can respond but because I've blocked your sorry whining arse...I will not see your pathetic cry baby response! I win! I always do! Bye bye! Toodle-oo! See ya later! Off you go! Scoot along now. Adios! Cry and bye! HA HA HA HA 😂 😄 😆 🤣!
Skynyrd lovers flock from any town USA to see Skynyrd play Skynyrd music and always will. By the way Ricky was a Skynyrd wayyyy back then and still is. Haters can just stay home!
@@lockdown70 How do you know, have you spoken to Ronnie, Gary, Allan, Billy........ They aren't doing a service to the fans. I'm all for them keeping the thing going, but how about change the name or mention that none of the members are original. This isn't Lynyrd Skynyrd, it is a Cover Band
The torch has been passed down ❤
Still rockin' and sounding the same after all these years! Amazing!
Thnx for sharing this great memory of a great evening

@mattw They also had that 3 original member rule too. But with all the $$$ rolling in, that pact went into the trash.
I saw them in Salinas in the Rodeo Grounds in 2008, I loved them, they carried of the tradition. My knock on them is they are a tribute band only, they don't write new material.
Amazing ❤
Dale Krantz-Rossington Is Present
Great sound! Great energy! And i think Allen Collins would be proud of that sound.
The band has evolved over the years & even though it's not the original members many of them have been in the band for decades & evidently they still have a sizable audience so who are we to tell them what to do. Hey it's only Rock n Roll.
Beautiful crescendo
Lynyrd Skynyrd means SOUTH
Free bird means SOUTH
Where is the SOUTH FLAG ?
O tempora o mores. !
Dead and buried like all the original members of this barroom cover band
This is Lynyrd Skynyrd with people replacing the members who are no longer on this earth while they also acknowledge them. Planning to see them this year.
Not Skynyrd, tribute band at best.
Some things should be left alone.
As long as Ricky and Johnny are alive and healthy, they are Skynyrd. Besides, no cover band can nail the Freebird solo like Ricky Medlock
No, this is not Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Great Video!
We have watched the replacement band members for so long. May not be the originals, but kept the music alive. At least there is one Van Zant on stage!
Too bad it's the wrong one!
It's a money train

"Selling out stadiums". Are you actually serious?
@2v_5r84 So what. Still a tribute band. He wasn't playing guitar then, he was their drummer for around 1 year.

They need to tour with Molly Hatchet
Fer sure! Another band with no original members!
Bro I didn't know the undertaker played lead guitar
Don't mean to be harsh on these guys though. Trying to tribute the greatest band in the history of American recorded music is no easy thing.
This is *not* Lynyrd Skynyrd... It's a cover band.
Exactly. This is Lynyrd Skynard : th-cam.com/video/QxIWDmmqZzY/w-d-xo.html
A FANFARE....OF A REAL BAND...
MERCENARIES OF THE MUSIC...
BAD LUCK....YOU DESERVE...MF
NO RESPECTO ....JUST BUSINESS
You are right
I agree 100 % It’s sickening to me
Sorry boys it's not the same without Ronnie
Sad how these guys can think that there Lynyrd Skynyrd I've seen original band twice this is a insult
Skynyrd lovers flock from any town USA to see Skynyrd play Skynyrd music and always will. By the way Ricky was a Skynyrd wayyyy back then and still is. Haters can just stay home!
It is a cover band....NO ONE IS LEFT. SORRY great song, but you are doing a disservice to the original members
I call them a Tribute band since Gary passed. And theyre doing the original members proud by keeping the legacy alive.
They need to change the name to show respect!!

@@BST-lm4po Agreed
Ricky medlocke played early skynyrd band look it up j.f . 69st upper darby pa
No Gary, no Skynyrd.
More like, No Ronnie, no Skynyrd.
NO Ronnie. NO Allen. NO Gary. NO ED. No Steve. NO Leon. NO Billy. NO Bob and Artimus, NO Leslie, Cassie and Jojo=NO Lynyrd Skynyrd whatsoever!
Damn straight
