Amazing live band performances

[jiminbogart]

This whole performance that I’ve seen is absolutely stunning. I think this is my favorite song from this concert.
Allen Collins ripped the guts out of that guitar and slung it into the crowd

Their entire show at that concert was amazing. They killed it on Freebird. That was peak LS.

The original band recorded that live at the Fox theater in Atlanta on the album, One More From the Road.

Allen Collins lived four houses down the street from the house where I grew up in Jacksonville. Got to watch them practice some when I was a kid.

That was a two night stand at the Fox. My business partner went to one of the shows. I sure wish I could have been there.

I grew up on the Westside of Jacksonville. Allen lived four houses down from me on our street. Ronnie’s brother Donnie lived across the highway Blanding Blvd.

When I was a kid I saw them practice in Allen’s friends garage. First time I heard them I knew those guys were going big time. They played the bar scene then. I was too young for that.

I got to see .38 Special and Molly Hatchet play at the Still and at the Jug. My cousin Jackson Spires played for Blackfoot. I left Jax for good in 82.

neat story DD, my mom lives in O.P. off Blanding....

Allen Collins was the best guitarist Skynyrd ever had hands down. He survived the plane crash but never could beat the dope and liquor.

He got banged up pretty bad in a speed boat accident. He recovered from that. A few years later he was paralyzed in a auto accident, he went downhill quickly after that.

Personally I don’t think he ever recovered from losing Ronnie, Steve, and Cassie.

Yeah
I know all that. I was alive to see it all.

We just disagree on who was the best guitarist.

Ed King?

Ed King?

Nice enough guy.
More supporting cast than a lead guitarist.

Saw him being interviewed a few years back.

I was just being smartalec.

Dwight Yoakam and Chris Stapleton were probably the best live acts I’ve seen.

Watch Lynyrd Skynyrd play ‘Call Me the Breeze’ in 1976

Skynyrd fly high.

While we're at it, here's one live performance that was truly good.

That is hilarious. Ed King was an excellent guitar player. Possibly the best of them that played on that band.
