Agree 100%. The guys were ready & they stole that show! We'll never see another performance like that again! The English crew that filmed it did a great job preserving it for generations to come.
@@dr.shakalu8224They did. Anyone who spouts that garbage is ignorant. Even the flags that haters point out wat the promoters idea. The band weren't too keen on it. All of this has been said many times.
@@killacommieformommie I really liked Gaines plus with his vocals it added another facet to their sound. Maybe more than anything he brought fresh energy to a group that was burned out from constant touring
Steve and Cassie were a great addition to LS for sure. Tommy was about to be replaced in 1977 with another Gaines on drums. That would have been another great addition. Just remember, without Ed King, we wouldn't have the greatest Southern rock anthem of all time, Sweet Home Alabama.
Just like a lot of bands, you'll never hear their best songs on the radio. Lynyrd Skynrd has some incredible songs such as Am I Losin, Comin Home, All I Can Do Is Write About It, I've Never Dreamed, ect, ect. One of rocks best bands ever!!!
Pre plane crash skynyrd was something that’ll never be seen again. As much as I respect Gary for going till the end, it just wasn’t the same after Ronnie
I am a Skynyrd fan from back in the early 70's when they first started releasing their music. As a rule, I do not care for rap music at all. I will say that Jelly Roll has my attention and has earned my respect for his humbleness, and his respect for those who blazed the path before his time to take the spotlight. If you haven't seen it, look up Jelly Roll's appearance in Congress talking about drugs. This young man has lived it and also has his shit together. I am a fan. Finally, God bless the memory of all those who have been a part of the Lynyrd Skynyrd family.
Yep I can remember exactly the very first time I heard Sweet home Alabama I thought what the hell is this I like this never got lucky enough to see the original but since then I've seen the Lynyrd Skynyrd band at least 20 times
If everyone understood Skynyrd like Jelly Roll does then a lot of haters would quit hating and I'm yet to ever hear any Skynyrd members say they're actually Legitimate Skynyrd members. They're not trying to replace Ronnie, Allen or Stevie or Cassie and the question I've come to ask people is , What would Ronnie Van Zant think about some of the remarks that's been made about his little brother that just stepped up and just trying to keep Skynyrd Nation Alive ? Knowing what little bit I've read and heard, I don't think he'd be to happy with some of the supposed to be Skynyrd fans ! Your either Skynyrd Nation or your not !
I saw Skynyrd 6 or 7 years before Jelly Roll was even born, at Soldier Field in 1977. Along with Ted Nugent,38 Special, REO and Journey. Tripping on two hits of acid, to top it off.
This just shows you how legendary jelly not jus is but is also going to be. Obviously these absolute legends are picking him to spend some of their last performances with to also use him to bridge the gap between their era and the new… even tho there hits are timeless!!!! One of the first songs I remember actually finding on my own when I was 7 was ballad of Curtis Lowe by skynryd. They will continue to speak to new generations but to the ones they might not have gotten to yet jelly will be there to bridge that and let them know how influential they were!!! That is one awesome pat on the back for jelly roll and he for sure deserves it! I have been listening to him since he mostly did rap and I love all the ways he is going
As long as he loses some lbs…no such thing as an obese old man…the heart gives out eventually from having to pump blood through miles of veins for decades…if he could somehow drop like 60-75lbs I think he’d be ok…he’s a big dude so he’d look odd all skinny n shit
I just watched part of that concert special today. Its great. Gary played so well. LS is the first reason i play guitar, ride as fast as i can, love as much as i can, feel as deep and work as hard as i do and hope to play with them all in the big jam one day. See you again soon enough guys!🙏
That big hole in Trigger came in the early 70’s, and eventually Willie had to give up picks partly due to his liking the sound of his fingers and and also to help preserve the soundboard on Trigger, Mark Erlewhine does excellent work in keeping Trigger going, and has since the 70’s.
I was just watching Willie live at the Texas Opry House 1974 (phenomenal show) and trigger looked so fresh and clean (the hole is there though). He is a great guitarist. Cheers
Just listening to jelly talk brings tears to my eyes because He is what’s making my life better! It’s starting to go in th right direction after 42 years! Mushrooms and jelly roll!!! I idealize jelly so fucking much!
i met the band and spoke to Gary in 74 or so. what a great guy. Jelly, you are a great artist and are so blessed to have known Gary,but you witnessed how humble Gary was. An absolute gentleman
Rogan consistently shocks me with his unknowing of cool stuff like Willie’s guitar. If he doesn’t know about that, then how would he really have that much awe for Willie.
Hey Jelly Roll, you're the one person who got to go and be what a lot of Skynyrd fans could only dream about... onstage with Ricky Medlock and Johnny Van Zant??...fuck me running!...you are truly BLESSED!!...
God bless you Joey for the fact that you got to spend some time with Lynyrd Skynyrd that's pretty awesome doing what you did last year with them God bless you your talented man
I wish I could’ve seen Waylon before he passed. He died in Feb 2002 if I remember correctly and I first started getting into his music (his style, humor, legendary stories and outlaw ways) at some point in 1999. I was about 26-27 years old at that point. About 95% of my musical tastes came directly from years of digging through my dads old album collection. My mother (they were divorced) actually had an even larger collection. Each respective collection primarily centered around “Classic Rock” ( Mid 1960’s to Early 1980’s ). Through these 2 collections I discovered The Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Zeppelin... The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Cream, Traffic, Blind Faith, Free, Wings, Bowie, T-Rex, The Kinks, Yardbirds, J. Winter, Joplin, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Santana, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, CSNY, America, The Eagles, Heart, Bad Company, Dire Straits, JJ Cale, Leon Russell OK OK OK I zoned out there... So anyway up until 1999 my musical tastes were purely, 110% ROCK and Rock ONLY. One dad I got to looking at this album... I recognized the name, but knew very very little about him besides him being a part of my #1 favorite show as a kid... The Dukes of Hazzard. So as I studied this album called Ramblin Man (I wondered if there was any connection to the ABBs song “Ramblin Man”). I looked at this guys rough face, long messy hair, his eyes .... WOW I could tell this man had seen A LOT. Looking again at the tracks I see ‘Midnight Rider’ now I KNOW this is a cover of an ABB classic (ironically Ramblin Man turned out to be totally unrelated to the Dickey Betts classic). I started out infatuated with Waylons version of Midnight Rider. Bit by bit I began to like nearly every track on the album. Before long I’ve bought the CDs -Dreaming my Dreams -Honky Tonk Heroes -I’ve Always Been Crazy And many others. I couldn’t get enough of Waylon GD Jennings. He was the very first NON-Rocker musician that I’d ever become interested in. Honestly though a large % of Waylons songs consist of that highly potent thumping bass. Ritchie Albright on drums playing a very RnR style of drumming. Ralph Mooney ... in my opinion the best Steel guitarist that there’s ever been. For being considered Country music, more specifically “Outlaw Country” Waylons style of music straight up FN ROCKS. Songs like: -Waymores Blues -Ain’t No God in Mexico -Outlaw Bit (for short) -Midnight Rider (ABB cover) -This Time -A Long Time Ago -Are you sure Hank done it this way -Honky Tonk Heroes -Ramblin Man -Black Rose -I’ve Always Been Crazy -Lonesome Onry’ & Mean -I’ve Been a Long Time Leaving -Whistlers and Jugglers -It’s Alright -Clyde -All Around Cowboy -Can’t You See (MTB) -Are you Ready for the Country (NY) -Never Been to Spain (H.Atkins) -Shine -Let Her do the Walkin -The Conversation (w/ Hank Jr) -I Can Get Off on You (w/ Willie) -Ain’t No Good Chain Gang (Cash) -Good Hearted Woman (w/ Willie) -Heaven & Hell (w/ Willie) -Never Could Toe the Mark -The Gemini Song -Fancy Free -Women do know how to carry on -Turn Back the Years (Hank Sr)
Skynyrd is in my blood... I'm 64, Born, and raised 6th Gen Florida Man... every significant thing, that happened to me as a teenager, growing up, has a Skynyrd memory... and as a Musician, playing bar gigs, at 13-14 years old, I felt it. Jelly gets it... A Reverence for the band, and the original members... real cool...
I actually race cars at a racetrack that was built about a mile from where their plane crashed colt ford actually shot a music video out there too. Been racing at that track for 20 years or so and never knew it was that close to the crash site until they built a monument down the road for them I’ve been pushing the track to do some kind of memorial event with the monument to help keep it around since it’s an all volunteer effort
Me and my girlfriend were at a pizza place the night I learned Gary died. I grew up idolizing Lynyrd Skynyrd and other than Clapton, Gary was my favorite guitarist and inspired me to start playing. She saw me sob that night.
As a Deep South born and raised, Lynyrd Skynyrd is the closet thing to Royalty we have… they bridged the music of so many… country-rock-blues fans all in one band….
Dude your so lucky to known Gary and be his guitar tech. Im such a big fan and i know alot of skynyrd songs on guitar i would of shit just to talk to Gary. Your very lucky god bless
I clean Gary’s pool down here in Georgia. Got the account a few weeks after his death. Never met him but his widow and daughter are cool as hell. RIP 🪦
Ran into Johnny in a truck stop in Spokane Washington. Nicest damn dude I was the only person who knew who the guy was in the whole joint. We both shared that laugh
As a life-long Jacksonville guy, more specifically there's Jesus, then Skynyrd AND the Allman Brothers AND Molly Hatchet, & somewhere in between is football.
Really. Can you believe Needle and the Spoon was the last song on the album it was on? That means the producers thought that was the worst song on the album. Crazy. That absolute banger was considered to be the "worst". Just goes to show how creative and talented they were.
In 1977 dayton ohio Brown Street was the place to go after shows. My new husband Richard & I were @ The Mare's Head. I heard Skynnerd was in the house after the concert.(we didnt go) My husband & I somehow ended up hanging w/them & next thing I know we were out front & a van was at the curb & I was saying gbye to my husband as he climbed in & Gary Rossington told me dont worry we'll take care of him. See you in a few days. Sure enough a few days later My ex showed up & had stories. Those were days when bands flowed in & out down there. Now its all college shops. I will never forget that. 47 years ago
Jelly Roll 1st off your living proof God has a plan. The greatest thing in life we can do is use our past to effect good change in someone's future. I've known many people throughout my life in the industry. Came from a very musical family. Singings My thing. My Daddy passed in 2022 & shared Sam Samudios home during a travel time w/his job. I still speak w/he n Anne on occasion. Sweet good man. I pray blessings on your path. Keep looking up. Tell your story a million times. You never know who your affecting. Love your heart.
I was at That Show up Front, the only reason I went was to see Willy because I know he is Older. But Brother Willy played a 30 minute show Then You Big Fella You played a Two Hour Show Non stop pounding it. My Wife was a Huge Fan so naturally she want to be there for You. But after the Songs you pumped were Amazing. Thank You For Doing Such a Show at Our Local Casino. They have had some True Superstars in Country there. I have seen George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Charlie Pride, Sammy Kershaw, and a Few Others.
Skynyrd was at their best there I love Ed King but with Gary, Allen and Steve is as hot as they got! Ronnie Van Zant is the greatest front man and band leader and you'll never convince me otherwise!
Allen Collins killing it there with Steve Gaines! So sad no original members in the band anymore. They should at least get Artimus Pyle back for some authenticity! The greatest band of all time in my opinion. Ronnie's lyrics with 3 lead guitarists, Leon's bass lines,,,,too good
FreeBird at Knebworth was one of the greatest moments in Rock history IMO!
Agree 100%. The guys were ready & they stole that show! We'll never see another performance like that again! The English crew that filmed it did a great job preserving it for generations to come.
So glad to hear Gary was doing what he loved till the very end wasn't bedridden or in a hospital. Love Jelly Rool passion for Skynyrd too.
Skynyrd is still one of my favorite bands of all time. They were great musicians.
So you agree with them in their praises of Segregationist George Wallace ??
@@Jameywells777They're not praising him. They say boo boo boo after they mention him to show they didn't like him.
@@dr.shakalu8224They did. Anyone who spouts that garbage is ignorant. Even the flags that haters point out wat the promoters idea. The band weren't too keen on it. All of this has been said many times.
They were amazing musicians the singer and guitarists are family and always practiced really hard, so I respect that. Alone
Skynyrd with Steve Gaines as the third guitar is the best rock n' roll I've ever heard.
Ed King was no slouch
@@1972mrkleenno he wasn't but Gaines just added something extra with his playing. But I agree with your comment.
@@killacommieformommie I really liked Gaines plus with his vocals it added another facet to their sound. Maybe more than anything he brought fresh energy to a group that was burned out from constant touring
Steve and Cassie were a great addition to LS for sure. Tommy was about to be replaced in 1977 with another Gaines on drums. That would have been another great addition. Just remember, without Ed King, we wouldn't have the greatest Southern rock anthem of all time, Sweet Home Alabama.
❤❤❤❤😮
Doesn’t get any better than Skynyrd. Thank you jelly roll.

Lend a Helping Hand, One More Time, Trust, T for Texas,Every Mothers Son, Gypsy, P Whisky, R&R in other words all of them kick🎸 axe🤘

The real Lynyrd Skynyrd ended on 10/20/77
I support the band, pantera as well. But that flag they love is dumb
We played 2 songs when my pops died, Freebird and Elvis amazing grace...
The amt of great bands that have all orig members is prob 5%
@@justineidson7052thats prob why there shows ar😊e packed fans of all ages..esp youth that hate lip synch pop.etc
Very cool to see how Jelly Roll loved and respected Skynyrd! Love his encounter with Prince Charming. Rest in peace, Gary!!
Best version of Freebird! Killer shit!!Got to meet gary once! He was so cool! Bless his soul!
Love Jelly Roll! He gets it ! God bless
Awesome story!
Love love Love Lynyrd Skynyrd and just coming into Jelly Rolls music and becoming a huge fan.
My both faves: Jellyroll AND Lynyrd Skynyrd ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw Skynyrd 6 or 7 years before Jelly Roll was even born, at Soldier Field in 1977. Along with Ted Nugent,38 Special, REO and Journey. Tripping on two hits of acid, to top it off.
That Skynard concert was actually Oakland, California
Many times I've spent hours on end just watching Gary play! My favorite guitarist of all time.
The greatest.
Same! He was the reason I bought a guitar
My favorite LS was when they were told not to go out onto the tongue of the stones. And they did it anyway. Classic video
This just shows you how legendary jelly not jus is but is also going to be.

Skynyrd was the best rock band the original hands down fly high guys
For straight up hard-driving rock and roll Lynyrd Skynyrd was absolutely the best when they played the gritty blues rock they were on their game
Saw Willie play Hawaii in the 90s. Passed at least six doobies to him on stage. A legend for sure!
I absolutely love jelly rolls! Between mushrooms and jelly’s music is changing my life for the better!
I just watched part of that concert special today. Its great. Gary played so well. LS is the first reason i play guitar, ride as fast as i can, love as much as i can, feel as deep and work as hard as i do and hope to play with them all in the big jam one day. See you again soon enough guys!🙏

So lovely when our idols think we're good too and are such nice and appreciative people.
Damn you Jelly. Made me cry again. 😢 You are a natural born story teller. ❤
Just listening to jelly talk brings tears to my eyes because He is what’s making my life better! It’s starting to go in th right direction after 42 years! Mushrooms and jelly roll!!! I idealize jelly so fucking much!
Skynyrd is a national treasure,one of THE MOST beloved and greatest bands EVER..
i met the band and spoke to Gary in 74 or so. what a great guy. Jelly, you are a great artist and are so blessed to have known Gary,but you witnessed how humble Gary was. An absolute gentleman
That's exactly how my older brother told me... Skynyrd couldn't be chained...had to be Free... somehow we've got to carry on...
Rogan consistently shocks me with his unknowing of cool stuff like Willie’s guitar. If he doesn’t know about that, then how would he really have that much awe for Willie.
We were there for that show at the Ryman and saw Gary perform for the last time it was phenomenal! Lynyrd Skynyrd forever !! RIP Gary ❤
That’s awesome Jelly Roll I’m a huge Skynerd fan always and forever.
Hey Jelly Roll, you're the one person who got to go and be what a lot of Skynyrd fans could only dream about... onstage with Ricky Medlock and Johnny Van Zant??...fuck me running!...you are truly BLESSED!!...

Turning 20 in may. Can confirm, the cool kids definitely still listen to skynyrd.

God bless, Vanzant family...my heart is in Duval,Jacksonville, well orange park, 1 love
I had a stepdad that taught Willie in Abbott , had some school pics of Willie and school annual with him in it , pretty cool
Rest In Peace 🕊️✝️🌹❤ Mr Gary Rossington
I seen Lynyrd Skynyrd in Fayetteville n.c. 1976 , Cumberland county arena .
To think of Gary flying high and playing it pretty with the rest of the band.. with jesus and all my folks in the front row brings a smile to my face
Verry graceful. A true legend had ascended this world.
Rest in peace Gary Rossington
march 5th 2023 we lost a legend
I actually race cars at a racetrack that was built about a mile from where their plane crashed colt ford actually shot a music video out there too. Been racing at that track for 20 years or so and never knew it was that close to the crash site until they built a monument down the road for them I’ve been pushing the track to do some kind of memorial event with the monument to help keep it around since it’s an all volunteer effort
I visited the crash site, but it was before they built the monument. Maybe I'll be able to get back down that way again sometime and check it out.
Jelly Roll ❤
Day On The Green concerts at Oakland Coliseum were the best!!
Skynyrd were are and will always be some of the best
Me and my girlfriend were at a pizza place the night I learned Gary died. I grew up idolizing Lynyrd Skynyrd and other than Clapton, Gary was my favorite guitarist and inspired me to start playing. She saw me sob that night.
STILL gives me chills! 🙏🦅🌴
As a Deep South born and raised, Lynyrd Skynyrd is the closet thing to Royalty we have… they bridged the music of so many… country-rock-blues fans all in one band….

Duuuuuvallll, love seeing the love for the Sons of the South, i walk past the Van zant house every day
When Skynyrd towards Europe in the mid-70s you should get some of them tapes is the most amazing concert foot are.
Still my favorite solo of all time….
Ran into Johnny in a truck stop in Spokane Washington.
Nicest damn dude
I was the only person who knew who the guy was in the whole joint.
We both shared that laugh
@6:29 I remember Willy Nelson with short hair!

Love Old Crow.

Jason DeFord seems like a cool and interesting guy.
Joe don't know bout Ernest.. Jelly/ Skynyrd trifecta there🎶
As a life-long Jacksonville guy, more specifically there's Jesus, then Skynyrd AND the Allman Brothers AND Molly Hatchet, & somewhere in between is football.
Action Bronson & Skynyrd?! Epic
Love me some Skynyrd
A band with no bad or filler songs. Very rare.
The entire pre crash catalog is radio worthy.
Really. Can you believe Needle and the Spoon was the last song on the album it was on? That means the producers thought that was the worst song on the album. Crazy. That absolute banger was considered to be the "worst". Just goes to show how creative and talented they were.

See you in a few days. Sure enough a few days later My ex showed up & had stories. Those were days when bands flowed in & out down there. Now its all college shops. I will never forget that. 47 years ago
Jelly Roll 1st off your living proof God has a plan. The greatest thing in life we can do is use our past to effect good change in someone's future. I've known many people throughout my life in the industry. Came from a very musical family. Singings My thing. My Daddy passed in 2022 & shared Sam Samudios home during a travel time w/his job. I still speak w/he n Anne on occasion. Sweet good man. I pray blessings on your path. Keep looking up. Tell your story a million times. You never know who your affecting. Love your heart.
Thank you for sharing
Jelly roll. I cant hate him. Dude can sing.

Jelly Roll because of how you feel about Skynyrd I need to know what you are musically

But after the Songs you pumped were Amazing. Thank You For Doing Such a Show at Our Local Casino. They have had some True Superstars in Country there. I have seen George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Charlie Pride, Sammy Kershaw, and a Few Others.
Like Keith Richards says " it's the ancient art of waving" guitars. That's rock n roll.
The ancient art of Weaving ..like sowing 6 different threads together

The Father, the Son, and the holy Skynyrd
Did you know?
Ed King & Steve Gaines were born on the same day, September 14th, 1949.

Best song to get a lap dance to 😂
Skynyrd was at their best there I love Ed King but with Gary, Allen and Steve is as hot as they got! Ronnie Van Zant is the greatest front man and band leader and you'll never convince me otherwise!
That was the day they rocked the stones right out the building
2024 don't you dare touch Willie
My band..1975
Joe is MAD Stoned in this whole thing!!!!!
Allen Collins killing it there with Steve Gaines! So sad no original members in the band anymore. They should at least get Artimus Pyle back for some authenticity! The greatest band of all time in my opinion. Ronnie's lyrics with 3 lead guitarists, Leon's bass lines,,,,too good
They are high af!🤣
I've got a friend that looks like Jelly Roll
