As a former OTR driver for many years, I'm with you brother. Listen. My Hair is now White My Neck is still Red My Collar is still Blue Some of those yankees won't ever get it. You can't blame them. If you don't live in the South, you never will. I've never seen anybody retire and move up North. Ronnie Van Zandt wasn't a racist. He was what we all were back then. Rock n Roll Rebels. A hell raising party animal just looking for a good time, not afraid of fights, proud of our heritage, not ashamed. Keep it between the ditches and remember, go to bed before you go to sleep. This one's for you brother. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ofI96eRgQfY.htmlsi=DZrAyFXbjIVDRXAJ

And we were in the Northeast, not at all Southerners. For me it rivaled the time my cousin put on Led Zeppelin's first album for the first time. Incredible!

It has that Ronnie van Zant and 3 guitars lead swagger. I've always liked the more rocked up, swinging styles of Steve Vaughan and double trouble and the like. Itf it's rocking, guitars screaming and loud, it's rowdy enough for me. That One More From The Road is one of the top 3 best live albums ever. In my opinion. Another of those top 3 is Live you get what you play for by REOSpeedwagon. Got dang, those albums just have that live energy baked right into the vinyl!

What an amazing film - so many memories. For anybody who might be interested, I was the English Tour Manager for all Skynyrd's tours in Europe until the plane crash. I adored those boys, and thought they were the best band in the world, but I also had to deal with the fall out of their numerous fights and the problems with Bob Burns. I've written about it in my book, 'Rock N Roll Nanny' - so called because I was the nanny for Mick and Bianca Jagger's daughter. I also worked with the Stones and The Who and am on RU-vid talking about those heady days as the first female tour manager in rock and roll. Sally Arnold.

To be frank, I don't believe that Ronnie would have wanted to waste away. In the immortal words of Ronnie and Steve, "When my times up, I'll hold my own. You won't find me in an old folks home. You got that right." It is soooo very sad they didn't get a few more years though. Esp. to experience more of what The Honkettes and Steve Gaines brought to the mix. It brings me to tears every time it comes to mind. They went out on top. I imagine Ronnie is happy with that.

This is a very well done documentary about the greatest band from the South. I remember when they went to England on the same stage as The Rolling Stones a very large outdoor venue. I remember the piano player (I am bad with names in my old age), saying that we blew them off the stage. Lynyrd Skynyrd was very welcomed there. They found an international audience. Sadly I went to a concert in Mobile, Al with Skynyrd and Marshal Tucker scheduled to perform. Skynyrd didn’t make it and we had seen Tucker many times and the bottom fell out for us. Actually it was the top headliner. This was 1977 or before. We were heartbroken to say the least. I like the comments from several guys that explained the influence of Free and The Allmans on Gary and Ronnie. I can certainly see and hear Paul Rodgers and Ronnie had a deliberate vocal style as Rodgers , and Gary had the ballsy Les Paul tone as Kasoff (sp possibly). Gary also used a Gibson SG for slide. Three freaking guitars that are intertwined in my memories. And the many others in the band left me with my ears tickled. I listened to “On the Hunt” a few days ago and I can’t get it out of my head. That is a good thing. However I am hearing “Gone with the Wind” now with the former song. I am amazed how Skynyrd continued after losing their two major song writers in Ronnie and Allen. And many others in such a tragic place crash. It was as shocking as when I learned that Jimi had died from a hippie that I encountered walking down to Laguna Beach. I moved to Southern Alabama and Central Florida and got rid of California influence and became a redneck forever. Good riddance. Didn’t mean to write a book but Skynyrd is deep in my heart!

Sorry, that's not a fact but rather, your opinion! You are of course entitled to that, but Johnny has done a tremendous job stepping into his brother's shoes. He has been the lead singer almost 3 times as many years as Ronnie. Although I loved Ronnie and he looked so much like my (now) ex-husband, who also no longer walks among the living, I believe that Johnny has been the soul of Skynyrd for many years and now that they have agreed to continue touring after the loss of Gary Rossington, I hope they continue to entertain us for many more years to come. I've seen them live a few times and you could close your eyes and imagine it was Ronnie. Free Bird brings tears to my eyes.

I was young, 9 years old when the plane crash accured but had already been to 2 concerts and decided my next would be Lynyrd Skynyrd. That didnt happen. With respect to Johnny and the reast of the new band, its just not the same so i have refused to go see them. I still feel lucky to have been around when i was to understand a little about their greatness. Thanks guys, you helped to make my years rock like yours did.

Thank you for sharing this stellar updated documentry of the late great Lynyrd Skynyrd. While growing up in San Francisco, my second oldest brother went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd open up for Marshall Tucker at Winterland, back in '74. Stated the crowd went into a complete frenzy during the jam section of their encore, "Freebird." Took the smoke away from Marshal Tucker that evening. Another stellar Southern Rock band from that era. Toy Caldwell was one bad ass legendary guitar player.

Something about that feels right. Ronnie was a fighter, but it seemed like a sport to him. Nobody writes about Curtis Loew, a drunk old black man with a Jewish name befriended by a white Southern boy brought together by music unless they've got something beautiful in their heart. I think he had a lot in common with Artimus.

Thanks for whoever produced this. Best I've seen. Growing up in South Bama (referred to as LA) in the early-mid 70s Skynrd was a mainstay. Played their music all the time in high school and college, and was actually going into class that morning the news broke on the crash = Will Never Forget That. I have collected all albums, and now passed those (and about 500 more) on to the oldest daughter. Yes some still spin music! Now in my mid 60s I love to find these old live recordings of great bands, and this documentary has some great footage in it! I hope dearly that in 30 years people will still listen to their music, not just the big songs, but all those great tracks that made it to recording, and there are so many songs there to listen and rock to. RIP to these great musicians who brought me, and still do, much joy!

People misunderstanding use of the Confederate flag is their problem. Yes, the war for upperclass Plantation owners was about slavery but for most rank and file southern soldiers, most of whom were drafted, later in the war, it was about their homeland being invaded. Being from East Tennessee I have ancestors who fought on both sides. I am proud of all of them and both flags.

I was born October 22, 1977 only shy of October 21 by a few minutes. The crash was of course the evening of October 20th real close to 7pm. So I came into this world really just a few hours after some of the band left it. My parents were young. My mom was 16 and dad 19. They were huge LS fans and my birth and the crash seemed to be linked in my families account of the memories of that time and still is to this day. My mom says she remembers at midnight it started to snow after I was born and they were playing Lynyrd Skynyrd songs all day and that night on the radio in memory. So it was only fitting that their music played an important role in my life. For some reason I had the cassette for the Second Helping album so those songs in particular really bring back great memories. Old Curtis loew and Swamp music were my favorite. Mom and dad are still kicking thank god and I have thanked them more than once for giving me a great taste in music.

I have a memory of Second Helping as well. My older brother was serving 12 months for beating up our local township police chief and I'd written him in jail, asking what albums he'd recommend to me (I was a Kiss freak). Lynyrd Skynyrd was 2nd on his list only to Slow Hand, by Clapton, followed by Steely Dan's Royal Scam and Sabbath's Paranoid! That reply had a MAJOR impact on my life, in ways too many to mention, but not long after, as a young, budding drummer, I referred to those recommendations again and again! LOL Hell! I still enjoy them all to this day! RIP Rich! And thank you!

Because baby, these guys are the walking definition, the personification, of people who are truly ROCK STARS! Their unique sound, and their music, will live forever.

As a fan of rock and roll and having grown up in North Florida Lynyrd Skynyrd was always my favorite band. I loved all their albums with Ronnie singing. I loved many British rock and west coast rock bands and rock from all over the United States. But the Florida guitar army bands were great with Skynyrd leading the way.

@@da324 I don't know if I would agree with that. Steve Gaines was a great guitar player and brought more of a boogie-woogie sound, and was a nice breath of fresh air. But Ed King wrote some Skynyrd's best power rhythms with Saturday Night Special, Working for MCA, Sweet Home, etc. Those songs helped to build the Skynyrd name! Steve Gaines added some nice flavor, but I'd put Ed King's contributions up against his any day!
