If this song doesn’t make you feel good then you must be dead. One of the best Skynyrd two guitar songs out there and Billy Powell is pure genius on the Plano. Even after almost 50 years it still puts a smile on my face
Really miss RVZ....every song he wrote had a message, moral, or lesson. And every time he sang you felt he was living the lyrics as he sang. True heart and feel!
These Guys were basically all from the Streets of Jacksonville Fla. From Shantytown to Playing the Worlds biggest stages sez it all. No band of that era compared to The Great Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hard to believe their all gone except for Artimus Pyle. God Bless Him and God Bless the Rest of Them. 🙏
And Allen. He seems to be the forgotten incredible guitar player. You never ever hear His name at all. People don’t realize either that He was self taught. Same goes for Leon Wilkerson. God Bless them all. 🙏
It's hard to believe Billy Powell was nothing ore than their roadie till Ronnie heard him playing piano one day, never realizing he was a classically trained pianist...
We've lost all of the originals, which is very sad! Well, I would consider Artimus as an original, but Bob Burns was actually the original. Actually, Rickey Medlocke of the Blackfoot fame played alongside Bob Burns in the beginning then he joined Blackfoot. They were my band along with my buddy's band. We were blessed to see the originals 6 times before the terrible crash! They came to Pensacola and Mobile every tour! I lost my mother in a Car crash around the time of the Skynyrd plane crash as it was the worst time of my life bar none! Skynyrd's crash October 20, 1977, my mom's car crash May 15, 1977. This song had a special meaning to me! Rickey Medlocke played drums from time to time with Skynyrd. Burns was born in Gainesville, Florida, on November 24, 1950. He helped to form Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1964 with Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Larry Junstrom and remained until 1974, although by some accounts he left the band for a while during the early 1970s. Burns played on the band's early recordings, but on the album Skynyrd's First and... Last, a collection of early demos made in Muscle Shoals, the drum parts of some songs recorded in 1971 were played by Rickey Medlocke. That album also contains songs recorded in 1972 which feature Burns on drums, suggesting that Burns left the band in 1971 and had returned by 1972. During a brief period in the early 1970s, Medlocke occasionally played alongside Burns on drums for live shows, a two-drummer lineup similar to The Allman Brothers Band.
They were so so beautiful ..such a great blessing we were blessef with ....ive got some many beautiful life time memories .with their music ..everything they touched turned GOLD AND PLATINUM ❤❤❤❤FLY HIGH BROTHERS...My coworke dated billy powell ....such a beautiful soul ❤
You don’t hear it on this video but At the very beginning I heard Ronnie say , This is a song called Every Mothers Son , Every Mothers Son , It’s got a good message to it. He wasn’t. Lying. Again , Allen Collins and Ronnie wrote this tune. I’ve seen and heard there Mothers. That’s where the message comes from. God Bless all Their Mothers. And their Sons. 🙏❤️
I'm definitely falling big time lately. Hopefully an equally impactful rise will make this all worth it. Beautiful song as usual from Ronnie and the boys.
Anybody know of another live version of this song this seems to be the only live version of this I can find...it's such a great song kinda along the lines of "Simple Man" and I love Ronnie's vocal on it
I could never find another live version of this. To me this tune is a real tear jerker. I lost My Mom a couple of Years ago. If I need a couple of minutes to just think about My Mom , this is the Video I plug in. Miss and Love You Mother. Your Son. ❤️🙏
Yea Ed King loved Les Paul’s but Gary already had it covered. So Ed bought a Strat to bring his own sound. Ed was gone when the Gimme Back Bullets album was cut. So Allen bought a Strat mainly to do Sweet Home right. He wasn’t used to it.
Love the comment by the late Ed King RIP 🪦••• he said if you want to know who Ronnie Van Zant was as a person. Just listen 🎧 to ANY 3 songs that he’s written, and that was who he was.
