      LOVE this! The band had huge respect for black music and culture in general. Listen to Curtis Loew, to their love of the blues in general, and to some of their old interviews. They were good, regular guys who made it big but didn't forget who they were. Went back to Jacksonville every year to rest, fish, hang out with old friends, play baseball, etc. Hard not to like 'em!

      I definitely feel ya bro'. I am a white southerner grew up during the days. It seemed like we all got a long so well. When I was in college I roadied for Fats Domino one summer in Louisiana. Stood on the banks of the Red River for concerts with both black and white southerners in the crowd. All of us smoking the same dope, and drinking the same beer and we never thought we shouldn't. We were all there for one thing the music. If it was Chuck Berry, Lynnrd Skynnrd, Marshall Tucker, Niel Young, The Ohio Players, Frank Zappa, Kool and the Gang, or whoever we all got along. If we had any beef at all it was against our parents and the man.

      Yea, but keep in mind that Ed King wrote and recorded all the parts that Gaines is playing. Somehow or another the FACT that Ed King was the original guitarist and Bob Burns was the original drummer for this track gets lost in the translation of Lynard Skynards story. Those two were there from the very beginning. Both Artimus and Steve Gaines were relatively new to the band.

    Hello Stevie - I'm 67 and attended many of these gigantic concerts in the 70s. You got a lot right about the fans there were a lot of guys in the crowds, most had long hair and people blended together. The 'groupies' who traveled were primarily for The Grateful Dead. They are still known Deadheads.
    BTW, albums dropped weekly. I was in college 71-76 in Austin - music was everywhere, all the time and yes, we played albums repeatedly. We lived in the present, without social media. Word of mouth filled those stadiums. We wanted LIVE performances and we got them. True originality and musicianship was how we looked at bands. Plus, we had Top 40 on the radio. Top 40 played EVERY song from any genre, so we learned ALL the songs and DJs played "Little Stevie Wonder" and Motown to Jimi Hendrix to Elton John, Leon Russell, Beatles, Joe Cocker, with everybody in between.
    You like the guitars, go here to Peter Frampton:
    ua-cam.com/video/OOnGUBk6QO0/v-deo.html
    It is with great interest and fun that hubby and I watch your generation discover rock and roll. The music and musicians still hold up after 50 years.
    Welcome to the 70s - the Love the One You're With (Steven Stills) generation. Remember, this was before AIDS and when America was far more liberal than now.

    GREAT reaction vid to a classic song and performance!
    It was tragic that lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines (red pants) were both killed along with others in a plane crash a few months later. Those who survived were never the same again.
    Lead guitarist Allen Collins died about twelve years later in 1990, after being paralyzed from the waist down in a car wreck. They were an amazing group!
    EXCELLENT reaction video!

About three and a half months later, early one morning, dad and I were having coffee in the kitchen with the radio down low. They broke in with the news of their crash. I remember dad looking at me and asking "Weren't they one of the bands we heard at the Willie Nelson concert". They were one of my generation's favorite bands, one of those icons of my youth.

      Who says you don't need talent just because you use auto-tune? Auto-tune is an effect on the voice. It's essentially like using a voice box. Also, if you just mean pitch correction then that can do some stuff but it can't make a bad singer sound good. The way it's used in a studio is that instead of recording the song 12 times and splicing together the best of those 12 takes you do 3-5 takes and pitch correct those and splice them together. I have to say that again, pitch correction or ''auto-tune'' can make a very good singer sound great but it CAN'T make a bad singer sound good. And that over the top robotic stuff you hear is just the digital version of a sound box, it's essentially an effect, but to make it sound good you still need to be a talented singer.
