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!

Lynyrd Skynyrd (IPA: /ˌlɛnɚdˈskɪnɝd/) is an iconic U.S. southern rock band formed in 1964. The band reached prominence during the 1970's under the leadership of vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, until he died, along with several other members of the band (Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines and road manager Steve Kilpatrick), in a plane crash on Oct. 20th, 1977 in a Gillsburg, Mississippi swamp. At that time their current album "Street Survivors" showed them standing in flames. This album cover version was quickly pulled from store shelves and replaced with another non-descript cover in respect to the lost members of the band.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the most critically acclaimed Southern Rock groups of the 1970s (although the term "Southern Rock" did not exist at the time they formed), and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006. Their distinctive triple-lead guitar sound made their songs "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" American anthems and staples of FM radio.
Members inducted include singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarists Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Ed King, and Steve Gaines, bassist Leon Wilkeson, keyboard player Billy Powell, and drummers Bob Burns and Artimus Pyle.
Other members include/included Larry Jundstrom , Randall Hall,Byron Glover, Hughie Thomasson
A tribute band was formed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie's younger brother, at the helm, and continues to record music today.
Current members are Johnny Van Zant, Ean Evans, Rickey Medlocke, Michael Cartellone, Mark Matejka, Gary Rossington, and Billy Powell.
