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. These days, that turns into an altercation. 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. 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). Only downside was the dirt bags that showed up and sat behind us.
Aside from that, the show was amazing! Concord, CA Concord PavilionĪll of the bands were awesome. Thought by getting upper priced seats, we'd be away from the dirt bags but nope, they managed to find us. 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. Then about 1/2 hour later, he did it again and, this time, he and his friends were escorted out. I SOOOOOOO wanted to say "hey, over here" and point behind me. 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. With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” having over two million downloaded ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations.All of the bands were awesome.
We wanted to do the guys who aren’t with us any more proud, and keep the name proud, too.” There’s nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music.”Īdds Rossington, “We’re still standing, still keeping the music going. We have to make a living, sure, but it’s about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what it stands for, what the fans are all about. “It’s just that we love the music, it’s bigger than the money, it’s not even about that any more. 2014 marks the 8th year for their annual Simple Man Cruise, a four day voyage filled with the best music in Southern Rock including an outdoor beach show featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd for the first time in the cruise’s history.Īnd so Skynyrd stands, “still unbroken.” “People may say, ‘they need the money,’ well I don’t think any of us need the money,” Van Zant says.
The rock and roll powerhouse continually tours, this summer heading out on their second run with Bad Company. Since then, the band tragically lost Allen Collins, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson and Hughie Thomasson, yet Lynyrd Skynyrd rocks on with original member Gary Rossington joined by Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Johnny Colt, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase. The legacy began some 41 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida, and halted for a decade by the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines.
