Damon Johnson is doing an excellent job staying true to Gary's playing. They're finishing this tour as a Tribute to those who have passed. Fly on Freebirds.
Damon is a great guitar player. He doesn’t at all have the same playing style as Gary, but he does play it note for note, and he does a great job. Damon has history with heavy metal while Gary has focused on more mellow southern rock. Both great guitarists!
No, I'd say that Damon Johnson needs to polish it up a little... it's okay for the typically framed mind through a drunk ear... But, I guess he'll do for now... Sorry, I was born with autistic perfect pitch hearing... Not yeah, look!...he plays the game Red colored SG... Like Gary did for years!... Hell!... at least Ricky Medlock plays the Allen Collins lead part verbatim...
It’s great to see this band kept it going despite the tragedy….props to Ronnie’s brother to continue his legacy despite the pain he must feel every time he has to perform “Freebird”….because I would be….long live Skynyrd!🎩 🙏🏽
Não é só no Brasil não, infelizmente. Vide os gringos que fazem show no Brasil e já chegam lacrando e tomando vaia, aquele babaca do Roger Waters é um deles...
Man I wish that I could've been there. I've seen them 3 times in the past 1992,1999 & 2006 was the last time. In 92 Ed King was with them and Billy Powell was still alive. Gary Rossignton has been having problems with his heart. I want to wish him well. Hopefully they'll come back to Maryland so I can at least get one more time to see them in concert. Long live the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band.
Essa banda maravilhosa não pode acabar. sou muito fã desses músicos . todos merecem nosso respeito e admiração por esse trabalho maravilhoso ao longo de todos esses anos trazendo músicas de qualidade para nós. gostaria de saber se o Gary Rossington ainda está na banda lynyrd skynyrd? alguem sabe informar?
eu digo o mesmo. a idade não importa. eu tô quase chegando aos 60 anos mas amo muito o lynyrd skynyrd e outras bandas de rock. essa banda é top dos tops.
@@PhantomDetectivesLLC if you really do your research on Artimus, you will change your mind abt him. I loved him & craziness but he has told so many lies, it was just Gary that wanted him out of the band. I think he has kied so much he believes whqt he says, tries to blame Gary for everything. Gary was not only one that wanted him gone, it was band decision. He was involved with makin that movie that was full of lies, he contradicts his own interviews & does everything to make himself look the hero. It is because of him that the plane sat on tarmac for over an over, running ready to go. Not blamin him for crash per ci because pilots should have taken that into consideration, on other hand if he had been on time there is no crash. I think he feels guilty, maybe that's why he lies so much. He is also registered sex offender. It's a shame, these guys will always be my fav band & to see how Artimus betrayed them all plus the 2 other guys, Ken Peden & Mark Frank, crew guys who also went for help but now Artimus says he was alone. It's pathetic!
@@kathyrais574 Thanks now I know about everything, I thought that gary was lying but my guess was wrong after I read your post thank you guys. Gary is the original skynyrd that still remains.
@@John_Smith51 I hate that some people think so badly of Gary because of the things Artimus had done. I loved everything abt Skynyrd inc him. I guess most bands have their differences & Skynyrd is no different but to say & the things he has is despicable. The nucleus of the band was always Ronnie, Gary & Allen. Gary & Allen were both in different bands at like 12, not very good but they knew eaxh other in school so they started teaching each other what they knew & practiced to be get better. When they got together with Ronnie he encouraged them to play off each other & he might get 1 great guitarist instead he got 2. He was like big brother & dad to them & the 3 were super close. You can watch any footage & see how close they were esp Gary & Allen. I think Artimus was jealous. I feel like some people don't like Gary because he carried on. Some because he is still alive even! Artimus started his own band & guess he thinks he is in competition with Skynyrd. He cuts Gary down in every interview, says that he has people that look like original band, how much does Rickey Medlocke look like Allen Collins? He claims Gary is all abt the money, Gary is worth plenty, he plays because it is all he knows, so the music of Skynyrd lives on & to honor the other guys, his friends die one by one. They waited 10 yrs to even do tribute tour, Gary was last to sign on, he contacted Johnny & ask him if he would step into Ronnie's shoes. Johnny talked to his family & they supported him so Gary signed on too. Gary could go after Artimus for the things he says & does but chooses to ignore him instead. Artimus really knows how to play the victim & toot his own horn abt what a hero he was & how wronged he was & I got sick of hearin it.
@@John_Smith51 only people that know the truth are those that were there. i dont think Kathy was ther. LOL. this band goes on because its a cash cow RVZ's widow.
A primeira formação da banda , acho que todos morreram sim , se você pesquisar vai entender de um jeito mais complexo. Entendi que a banda parou por 10 anos com o choque do acidente . O vocalista de hoje é o irmão do Ronnie Van Zant ( Ronnie foi o vocalista e o Fundador da banda que também morreu no acidente ) E os restos dos membros foram substituídos ao longo desses tantos anos .
Miss all the originals but this was good tribute. Saw originals in 77 in Oakland and remainder and new. 04 or 05 in Kelseyville konocti harbor. Live On Skynyrd.
Nice video Ken. Prior to my statemate I will say I am not the #1 Skynyrd fan I really enjoy a lot of their hits but beyond that my knowledge is limited.However what I will say to all the negative cover band comments is if there ever was a tribute band this is it. The lead singer is the brother of the original singer Gary is original and all of the other members pay such respect and homage to the original guys it's almost emotional to see the love and respect they give the guys who have passed away in the band. To me their songs and band represent something a little bigger than who is playing the instrument and how long they have been in the band. I think Free Bird is an anthem and one that should be carried down from generation to generation. When it plays their is such love and harmony for those minutes. Just my opinion.
Damon Johnson is doing an excellent job staying true to Gary's playing. They're finishing this tour as a Tribute to those who have passed. Fly on Freebirds.
Damon was hand picked by Gary, And I know that damon will continue the legacy
Damon is a great guitar player. He doesn’t at all have the same playing style as Gary, but he does play it note for note, and he does a great job. Damon has history with heavy metal while Gary has focused on more mellow southern rock. Both great guitarists!
I like his guitar tone here, than now, It's like rough? I like his bird chirps on the guitar at 4:14
Lynyrd will live forever! AMAZING BAND!
Makes me cry every time
So glad to hear that Gary Rossington will return with the band in California this month.Awesome video,take care.
what is happening in society this is so wrong...people dont move....this is so wrong.....we are going downhill...
They're also all 70 and sore af touring all the time
@@diegogardner6218 the band is fine ...im talking about the audience...jesus

Right song wrong band

My wife and I was there and loved the concert they was awesome !!!!!
We were there 2! We drove down from NE Arkansas.
@@beccajune74 we was just about 30 mins from there but I would have driven there far to see them also ..
I took my mom to that concert for her birthday
Isso sim é um SHOW de verdade, não essas porcarias de uns e outros que ficam enchendo o saco com ideologias vagabundas no Brasil.
Não é só no Brasil não, infelizmente. Vide os gringos que fazem show no Brasil e já chegam lacrando e tomando vaia, aquele babaca do Roger Waters é um deles...

They should just give it up! No Ronnie, or Gary or all others.... Not Skynyrd!
Não canso de assistir,em plena sexta feira 11/02/2022 maravilha

Where's Gary????
Ah como eu gostaria de estar lá ao vivo e a cores,não se importando com minha idade,e curtindo está maravilha
É verdade .
eu digo o mesmo. a idade não importa. eu tô quase chegando aos 60 anos mas amo muito o lynyrd skynyrd e outras bandas de rock. essa banda é top dos tops.
NO ROSSINGTON, NO SKYNYRD
It’s a damn shame Artemis Pyle still is alive isn’t playing drums with Skynard.

Não tô entendendo mais nada, os caras morreram em 77, quem são esses aí em 2021?
