Lynyrd Skynyrd

Well it was a cool summers day ideal for blackberries to start the affray. They tore up the stage with southern state rage and blew all our old timer cobwebs away. Then low and behold a story was told of past of present as one. Life was reborn no longer forlorn but a musical love from heaven above. So it began our hearts our souls a legendary sound, music filled the air and love was a bound. Past present future alive again freebirds a flying and will always remain. R I P our southern stars 🌟

Three times in my life I have had tears streaming down my face at concerts... the first time at my first Judas Priest concert - when they came on, the second time at my first AC⚡️DC concert - again when they came on, the third time yesterday at the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert - at the absolutely fantastic finish... which will stay in my head for a long time... Thanks for the amazing show!

OMG … The Best Gig I Have Ever Seen!!! Skynyrd were immense. The crowd was electric and the atmosphere was brilliant. Truly the best gig of my life. My only complaint was a lack of encore, which due to noise laws etc is becoming more common. #lynyrdskynyrd thank you. It was moving, electric, musically a masterpiece. I might have to book a flight to the US to see one more show!! 🤘 PS Munich Tollwood festival is brilliant. Wonderful city and people. The whole festival had an amazing vibe xxx

The concert celebrating 50 years of Lynyrd Skynyrd lived up to expectations. It’s true — none of the original members are still part of the band, as sadly all of them have passed away over the years — but calling them a cover band would be unfair. The current members have taken up the legacy with respect and continuity, carrying the band’s story forward in an authentic way. Some have called them the “American Nomads.” A label that, in my opinion, fits perfectly. The setlist followed that of the recent Live at the Ryman, the anniversary album. The concert was slightly shorter than expected — a couple of songs were missing, likely due to time constraints given the downtown Ferrara location, but possibly also out of consideration for the musicians’ age. A shame, because I would’ve loved to hear I Know a Little and Red, White and Blue. The show opened with Workin’ for MCA, as is traditional for the band’s live performances. I had a faint hope they might include some less obvious tracks from their vast repertoire, but they opted for a classic selection. One of the performances I appreciated the most was Down South Jukin, accompanied by an evocative video featuring alligators — after all, they’re Florida boys through and through. The most touching moment came with Tuesday’s Gone, dedicated to Gary Rossington, who recently passed away. A beautiful, emotional performance. With that song — also made famous by Metallica’s cover — the grand finale began, featuring The Needle and the Spoon, followed by the great crowd-pleasers: Gimme Three Steps Call Me the Breeze Sweet Home Alabama and of course, the essential Free Bird, with its endless solo closing out the night. All in all, I liked them. Despite their age, they remain credible, charismatic, and fully capable of engaging the audience.

Fantastic above all expectations. The show from start to finish was excellent. All the band members performances were first class. As a fan for almost 50 years this was a Bucket list trip for me and my husband. We came from Scotland as we wanted to see them in their home area. We had checked out their European tour dates and venues but we made the right decision travelling to Florida. Rickey Medlocke & Mark Matejka guitar duet in final was outstanding. The tribute ti Gary Rossington was superb and heartfelt. The finale to Ronnie was so well done “superb” Great music by a fantastic group of artists. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10 +

Awesome show ! The band had great energy and really connected with the multigenerational crowd. Lynyrd Skynyrd sounded great and pumped out the hits. Front man Johnny Van Zant hit his marks with remarkable range. We were surrounded by blistering guitar licks from 3 guitarists, pounding drums, tempo bass, and poetic touches from the pianist. Opening act Marcus King set the mood with a terrific acoustic-electric guitar set. The venue, the Bradenton Area Convention Center Center, is undergoing renovations. But everything was well organized.

Had a great time! So glad I got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd. They put on the show I expected and then some. I also liked that they put up a full on screen of the show behind them. It felt even more engaging to the audience. I’d recommend others to see their show I didn’t know ZZ Top was down to one original band member. I regret not seeing them years ago because the band was just OK now. I wouldn’t recommend others to see their show.

I really enjoyed when Billy came out to perform "They Call Me The Breeze" with them. The band was good, but as the last one to perform, I was expecting them to play more big-time hits to build up the crowd. Instead, they started off with some lesser-known and slower songs, followed by a tribute, which was wonderful, but overall caused the crowd to lose energy. I think simply changing the order of the tracks would have kept the crowd more engaged.

A dream come true! I've been a fan of Lynyrd for a long time, and since the first time I heard the song Simple Man I fell in love with the band, with each new song I heard, I was more and more enchanted by the musical quality. I live in São Paulo - Brazil and I went to Jaguariuna especially to see Lynyrd. It was a memorable show, everything was perfect, it was a special night. Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I thank Lynyrd Skynyrd for this great moment of my life. I can't tell the feeling of following up these 50 years of emotional and intense southern rock'n roll through the hits and pictures that portrait the best moments of the band. What a feeling! Having my wife on my side to watch this Lynyrd Skynyrd concert was the wish I asked her for to celebrate my 50 years old birthday (I completed that in Sep, 15th this year too) reminding how this band is linked to my own history. Being a son of the country side of São Paulo State I feel that Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics and melodies somehow explain my relation with family, friends and my birth place in a way that others can't do. Thank you guys! The rest of the band is certainly clapping their hands, singing and crying of pride and joy from heaven (Steve Ray Vaughan, by the way, may be there too). See you soon all together someday somewhere ...

A great double bill but the promotors or maybe the bands made one slight error - Saturday night was predominately a Skynyrd Crowd. ZZ Top should have played first. They would have warmed up the crowd for what they really wanted to see and hear. The crowd was on their feet for most of the Skynryd show singing along to the classic tunes. ZZ Top started with some of their older blues-based classics and finished strong with their 80s hits. It seems that both bands rushed through their sets. Clearly, there was a time limit not allowing either band to go deep into their catalog. Something this die-hard Skynyrd fan was hoping for to celebrate 50 years from the release of Pronounced. The show was virtually a sell-out with few empty seats in the pavilion and the lawn packed tightly. An enjoyable evening for generations of fans.

This show was so fun, and I am thankful that I was finally able to go!!! Although I had been in radio for over 20 years and have met Johnny VZ a few times, I have never had the opportunity to see Skynyrd live I am a lifetime fan!(I'm 56) Tickets were a gift in Jan. for my Bday(b4 Gary's passing💔) from my son(29). Then my son realized that he couldn't to go because he had committed to a Young life camp (in which he is a counselor/mentor for kids) this week, so I got my Goddaughter(32) to go with me! We got a room in Denver Monday night and I made sure the rain went away! Hope y'all enjoyed Denver! Thank you so much SKYNYRD!!!!!. You guys are still fun and sound great!!! God bless Gary and y'all!! P.S. Why doesn't anyone ever mention Sparky?? Been there a long time and a great guitar player too!!! Train roll on........

Front Row Dead Center was a thrill of a lifetime to see 2 such awesome bands. Damon Johnson is a perfect fit for Gary Rossington & Elwood Francis does an admirable job filling in for Dusty Hill of ZZ top . There's a reason that these 2 bands have survived the test of time for 50 years. They have great songs, great musicians & know how to still Rock into their 70s! Go see them one last time!

Lynyrd Skynyrd Celebrating 50 Years Tour is the BEST damn concert I have ever had the pleasure of attending. I was first turned on to the band in 1975 and have become a diehard fan ever since. It has always been my goal and dream to attend at least one of their concerts. After learning about the plane crash in Oct 1977, I was totally saddened that I would never get to see them LIVE. When I heard that Ronnies' younger brother, Johnny, was getting the surviving band members back together to keep Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Dean, Allen, Gary, Ed, and Billy's memories alive, my goal became more like a "Bucket List" quest. Johnny and the band blew the roof off the Brandon Amphitheater. Their sound was so dynamic, that at one time I felt goosebumps on my arms and it was like Ronnie and the original band members were right there playing on stage. A wonderful tribute on the LED backdrop screen of all original members who have gone on before us with a memorial candle lit under their names. The 3 frontman's guitar solos were totally on the money. It was one hell of a performance and I pray that the guys will continue to keep touring and keeping Skynyrd Nation Alive. Now, on to Gillsburg, MS, and honor Ronnie, Steve & Cassie Gaines, and Dean Kilpatrick.

As always, the Lynyrd Skynyrd show at the Ryman was top notch! They blew the doors off the Ryman and gave a performance that PBS should be proud to produce for for their special in March 2023. They had four special guests (I don’t count GARY ROSSINGTON as a special guest) that will add a little diversity to the listening audience when the show is aired next year. Despite a couple of hiccups with sound production and an unprecedented moment when JVZ stopped Free Bird after about 45 seconds and started the song over after an issue with GR’s guitar occurred (anybody know what the issue was with his guitar???), THE SHOW WAS FIRST CLASS! I have seen Skynyrd more times than I have fingers and toes and they have never let me down. I know their touring is soon coming to an end so I think I will make this my last show. They don’t get more memorable than this one!

All of the bands were awesome. Only downside was the dirt bags that showed up and sat behind us. Kids (20's), completely wasted, kept smoking or vaping, one of them kept screaming "FU** YA!" One of them kept hitting me on the head (by accident, I think). I get being excited but it was to the point my husband and I almost left early because, God FORBID trying to ask them nicely to allow us to enjoy the show. These days, that turns into an altercation. About 1/2 way through LS, one of the guys from the group kept jumping up into an area to video, where he was nicely asked by security, to get down from and he got in the security guy's face. The security guy went for back up and the guy jumped down and sat down before they came back and they couldn't find him. I SOOOOOOO wanted to say "hey, over here" and point behind me. I didn't. Then about 1/2 hour later, he did it again and, this time, he and his friends were escorted out. I don't know what I was thinking - of course there are going to be "those people" but I'm of the age, now, where I just want to go and enjoy my music and lose all the drama. Thought by getting upper priced seats, we'd be away from the dirt bags but nope, they managed to find us. Aside from that, the show was amazing!

The show was freaking amazing! Started out with PA problems, they quickly took care of that, & on with the show .. love being a part of Skynyrd Nation! ❤️❤️ . I like The Mill venue, altho, I hope it won't always be that unorganized as far as getting in and outta there. The lines gong into the place was terribly long, but they moved em pretty fast! Ty to all involved! I look forward to going back to The Mh Ç

A lot of music over a lot of years for a lot of money. Party Central America and other crazy people without being tagged like a bitch because he couldn't hold a redcup or 3 which is basically a great idea just torched it like it didn't matter. That was a sad story and it made everyone cry. The day the music died. So bye bye Miss America's pie I drove my chvy to the levied for the colonization of the hot sexy and talented Jewel

The performances by the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank jr. were truly epic. We missed BlackBerry Smoke despite arriving 1 hour early from a hotel 3 miles from venue. I'm not sure if Cellairis Amphitheater is always a "total cluster with no clue" or their were other circumstances. We had front row center seats and Hank came out just as we mad what I'm talking about as far as getting people parked, inside, facilities, merchandising etc. Go see these artist, don't go to Cellairis Amphitheater in Atlanta, period.

Sound guys didn't mix everything very well for Skynyrd's performance. It all sounded really unbalanced. Frampton's performance sounded well mixed though. Everything else was good.Side note: The pavilion needs to provide more parking for handicap attendees. They think they run out of spaces and get sent to another lot several blocks away and you have to wait for a bus to come get you after parking way over there. Very inconvenient.
