Rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal, touring touring touring and recording straight to the tour bus and on the road. Probably the hardest working band ever. From the times at the hell house all the way to the plane crash. They were working. There is a great documentary about them I watched. They memorized every solo and Ronnie never wrote down any lyrics because if it wasn’t worth remembering then it wasn’t worth playing. I loved that band.
Yep, and they had worked so hard for so long, that they probably could have taken a break after their latest tour! They all, except maybe Steve Gaines (since he had just joined the band) would have had a decent nest egg saved up by then. They could have gone fishing for a year or two before they had to go back to work! Just another example of how "lifes not fair!" Dudes worked their asses off, ..then died (or got seriously busted up) just before they could really enjoy the fruits of their labor!
Everyone here in the Jacksonville area has a “claim to fame” story about their connection to Lynyrd Skynyrd. I’ve got several, the best of which is my father was Billy Powell’s financial advisor in the early 2000s (just before my dad retired). My pops didn’t know Skynyrd from Elvis, yet Billy invited him over to his home on the west side here and played piano for my dad, saw all his platinum records and got me some autographed pics!😂 Prior to his visit, I remember educating my father as to who they were, that they were a major act-not some little bar band!
Me too. I was stationed in Mayport in the late 80's then lived on in OP and Greencove after I got out. I met Artimus several times. At the Spin Drifter and at Shades one time. Met Judy Grodin at a Christmas party in GCS thrown by 38 specials road manager. Lol.
Roger that! I grew up in Fleming Island. Oh, the “success rate” (if ya know what I mean) I had at Shades back in the day would make Gene Simmons blush.😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ah, the good ol’ days..
Ronnie demanded nothing but the best from them he wasn't one to mess around. He would put them in their place really fast but the end results was magnificent. Nobody today is as tight as they were just professional musicians period. REST IN PEACE LYNYRD SKYNYRD ❤
Saw them on July 4, 1976 at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis. Great concert. It was The Outlaws. Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top. Poor ZZ, nobody follows Skynyrd. Saw them 2 more times after the crash, but of course, it wasn't the same. Skynyrd live was an experience.
Saw them twice that same year. First time they opened for the Doobie Brothers. The crowd was blown away and the Doobies were like WTF, how do we follow that?
This is my favorite LS album! “You got that right” and “I never dreamed” are a must listen from this album. Steve Gaines was a wonderful guitarist and writer. He was breathing new life into Skynyrd. This music is classic.
A little late, you mentioned them being tight. They had a little place south of Jacksonville, FL in the country called "The Hell House" where they practiced hours on end with no A/C. Hot & humid conditions and wouldn't accept anything less than perfection. Amazing what they accomplished in their short lives. Left us in mid-20's
It's about time someone reacted to this incredible song !!! This was written by Steve Gaines who had joined the band about 1& 1/2 years before the band died in the crash . It is much different than Ronnie Van Zant's style of writing . It's great to hear Ronnie sing someone else's song that he truley respected . This would be a song he absolutely loved . He would never have sold out . Ever . Thanks !!!
Ronnie shares vocals with Steve Gaines in the song " you got that right " Gaines was a game changer of the highest level Rip fellers your music lives on 🤘✌💞
Steve Gaines wrote the music long before joining the Skynyrd band ...RVZ (singer) changed/added lyrics and Gary Rossington added his middle guitar solo along with Powell adding the keys hence touched by the legend LYNYRD SKYNYRD!
In my younger years I would sometimes visit a honky tonk bar called “The Hillbilly Palace” in Hazard Ky. They had a good size dance floor and anytime this song or “The Breeze” played when they had a live band, it was so fun to just get out there with your woman of choice and just freaking let go! I’m not even a good dancer but dipping and spinning your woman was so, so, so much fun!
There's always great grooves and energy in the original L.S. catalog. Total ASM (Ass Shakin' Music). A couple tunes to check out are "On The Hunt" (1 of my all time fav guitar lead tones) and "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" (great slide/lyrics).
REALLY digging it that your reactions are digging Lynyrd Skynyrd. One thing on this "I know a little" song on the Street Survivors album is that😢 The album with that cover with our American band on fire, was already coming out in record stores right before the😢 damn probably Boeing plane went down. 😢😢😢 the wives🌹and girlfriends🌹of our American band stood behind Judy Wayne Van Zant to replace the album cover with the one that most of us still cherish for life. You guys are the best at Lynyrd Skynyrd Reactions Thank You!!! 🤝
You either loved this band or you didn’t, no in-between. Put the boogie in southern rock, a must play at parties (at least the good ones)….loved your reaction, you guys are pros and it shows!
With the addition of Steve Gaines this last album was a slight change in their style but a huge change in their sound. These guys were getting ready to head for much bigger and better things. Broke my heart when the plane went down. At my local drinking establishment there was a huge wake held. I think we crawled out around 4 a.m.
Skynyrd is awesome. I had just gotten the street survivors album with the fire cover on my 17th BD which was October 20, 1977…the same day of the plane crash. After that the album cover was changed to an all black background because of rumors of ppl that died being burned, which was untrue. They did not originally have a piano player and according to a documentary I saw the were recording at Muscle Shoals when they needed a piano player and Billy Powell, who was a one of their roadies, said he could play the piano, and man could he!
That album cover was recalled because of the flames behind Stevie Gains and rest of the band because of the plane crash. If you got your hands on one of them, it’s worth a few bucks.
Hi La and Che... I was lucky to see the original group in I think 1974 or 1975 ... Charlie Daniels was the opening act... academy of music...New York City ... concerts were $5 then ....
The singer, RVS, was a perfectionist, and he rehearsed over and over and over BEFORE they were even playing out in clubs. Ever song they did in rehearsal was followed by him saying, "One more time". I believe it may have driven some players away in the early days. Those who stuck around found out what greatness means.
Y'all are just touching the surface of a very deep catalog.Skynyrd was so damn good!.I think you will like most everything they recorded before the plane crash and lots that came later! Hope you literally do all of them.Yes they are that good!
One of rock's greatest tragedies that the core of the band was stripped away by the plane crash. Ronnie and Steve were the glue at that time. Having said that I've remained a fan for 5 decades and saw them before and after............they never disappointed. This is also my favourite album of theirs................and how spooky that the flames on the cover flickered menacingly on their heads!
You are correct my friend. they are locked in because they practiced in the shack for months at a time. The lead singer had firm control over his band.
Searching SE ARC Hing. That's the song it's leonard skittered searching Ask the wife's man one sunny day can you help me find my way That would be the soul
You are so right...such tight musicians. Who knows where they would have gone. Fun party music back in the day, and to this day. Check out Workin for MCA, I Need You, I Ain't the One, Swamp Music, Mississippi Kid. Thanks for the reaction!
The band was tight because of Ronnie van zant the lead vocalist you learn your part in rehearsals and did not mess up. Ronnie was a street fighter you did not take him on❤
An album reaction to this “Street Survivors” and their double live “One More From The Road.” Their live performances were perfectly performed because they put in the work. Tight 👈
You guys are absolutely right! The whole band was very talented and creative! This album was just loaded and released 4 days before the plane crash that, in my opinion ended the band.
Another great reaction guys. I was waiting for you guys to get to this one. On that fateful day of that horrible tragedy my world got a whole lot smaller, "I Ain't The One", and "Saturday Night Special" are a couple of good ones as well.
Another great cut from the same album, You Got That Right. The pause….you’ll know it when you hear it! Written by Steve Gaines and Ronnie Van Zant who traded vocals on it.
I'm biased because I like every single Lynyrd Skynyrd song on every single Lynyrd Skynyrd album, but something occurred to me that you might also like. The first three Aerosmith albums are absolutely killer, and I still think that their first album is the best one today, and that's the one that has Dream On and some other stuff, but I think off their second album is Big Ten Inch, which is a cover of an old blues record but of course Aerosmith and Steven Tyler hype it up in that raw way that they had on their first few albums..
La, if you really wanna hear Ronnie dig down in his soul while singing, check out "Wino"! Killer song in general, fire riff, etc, but his voice! And Che, he does an awesome job on some of the kinds of "ad-libs" that you so dig about Robert Plant. Not a party song, it's actually a sympathy note to an alcoholic. Still, I'll say: "Wino." Drink up!
If you guys really like Skynyrd you should watch one or two of the documentaries on them. You mentioned them being so tight. That's because they practiced every day all day in "he'll house". An old camp on the creek in shantytown. There story is something else 😮 thanks for giving me someone to listen to great music with and great job gentlemen!
Good stuff. Nasty Lynyrd Skynrd licks. Classic rock at it's best. Well done, gentlemen. Y'all need to hit "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe" and get their solid blues grounding and where it came from.
Steve Gaines … what a monster player. Who knows how far he could have gone had he not died in the crash 😢
Short career but has to be one of my favorite guitarists..fast linear blues licks n funky as hell
They had so much more to give. So incredibly sad to lose them😢
Surely, you mean Ronnie.
@@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv you're stupid, right
You're right about that.
Skynyrd are the epitome of how TIGHT a band can become over the years through massive touring and rehearsals. As tight as it gets.
Absolutely! These guys were the very best of musicians in their repective instruments. Period!
Long Live The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band.
Rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal, touring touring touring and recording straight to the tour bus and on the road. Probably the hardest working band ever.

You are spot on...they worked it and they earned it...
That's so cool about Ronnie and the lyrics. Never knew that. Mad respect.
Yep, and they had worked so hard for so long, that they probably could have taken a break after their latest tour! They all, except maybe Steve Gaines (since he had just joined the band) would have had a decent nest egg saved up by then.

Thank you for every Lynyrd Skynyrd reaction that y'all do.
Lynyrd Skynyrd Lives On! Generation after generation.
The working man's band,Skynyrd put the boogie into southern rock.
They are considered one of the best live bands of all time!!!
Ronnie demanded nothing but the best from them he wasn't one to mess around. He would put them in their place really fast but the end results was magnificent. Nobody today is as tight as they were just professional musicians period. REST IN PEACE LYNYRD SKYNYRD ❤

I saw Skynyrd 4 times before the plane crash in '77. Charlie Daniels and the Outlaws opened for them twice.

"gimme three steps" by them should be on your short list IMO
In my younger years I would sometimes visit a honky tonk bar called “The Hillbilly Palace” in Hazard Ky.

This album was a huge evolution for them. Production quality was their finest. Molly Hatchet were also known for their production quality.
Pronounced is their best album.
REALLY digging it that your reactions are digging Lynyrd Skynyrd. One thing on this "I know a little" song on the Street Survivors album is that😢

Off the same album is "Ain't no good life". Real bluesy. You'll love it.
They were AWESOME!
That album cover was recalled because of the flames behind Stevie Gains and rest of the band because of the plane crash. If you got your hands on one of them, it’s worth a few bucks.
Hi La and Che... I was lucky to see the original group in I think 1974 or 1975 ... Charlie Daniels was the opening act... academy of music...New York City ... concerts were $5 then ....
Saturday night at the honky tonk, got my dancing shoes on and the beer is good. Back in the days when I was young.😎✌️
Western swing, Skynyrd style. Love it.

Lynyrd skynyrd was the headline even when they weren't the headline band they were just that good period.
“Honky tonk night time Man” is another one of those songs L.S. capturers so well. It’s an old Merle Haggard tune Worth a listen gentlemen.
Am I losing? That's the song. It's called am I losing it's leonard skinnered
Searching SE ARC Hing. That's the song it's leonard skittered searching Ask the wife's man one sunny day can you help me find my way That would be the soul
Four O u r walls of reifford four walls of rayford at the leonard scattered south Yeah that's oh yeah that's yeah
You HAVE to do "T for Texas" and "Call Me the Breeze" from the live Knebworth concert in 1976 if you want see them boogie and at their very best!!!!!
Can’t wait for you to get to On The Hunt! Skynyrd is hellaciously great!
Will be seeing them once again tomorrow night in St.Augustine, Fl !
I never was a Lynard Skynyrd fan, but had to pop in for a listen. The one song they did, that did it for me.
Thanks guys
My favorite Skynyrd song. Honky Tonk.
There was definitely some partying going on back in the day when we were listening to their music!
The term coined for Skynyrd was full-tilt boogie.
With Gary Rossington gone, it's time to let CZcams and these reaction videos keep the original Lynyrd Skynyrd members immortalized for eternity.
Thanks for covering this little gem…..great lyrics with a great piano boogie…just fun
This song was brought to Skynyrd by Steve Gaines... Steve wrote this song with his previous band Crawdad...
Y’all are hearing “Texas Swing” turned into Rock.
One you would like a lot like this is “ You Got That Right”.
You are so right...such tight musicians. Who knows where they would have gone. Fun party music back in the day, and to this day. Check out Workin for MCA, I Need You, I Ain't the One, Swamp Music, Mississippi Kid. Thanks for the reaction!
Let’s hear some of that Diary Of A Madman ! 🤘🏻 or all of it . The complete album is worthy !
Ain't No Good Life on this LP is a banger too, actually most of the songs are come to think of it.
MORNING GUYS! 😊OHHHHHH YEAH, THIS A COOL SONG WITH A SUPER GREAT PIANO BANG! 👍 BE WELL LA AND CHE
They were the party 🎉
just listen to that whole album, it's a bon a fide classic
One thing about 'southern' rocks bands, the first thing you hear in their music is that they are having FUN!
Good timing honky Tonkin music right there! Straight from the 70’s directly into your ears!
I was just listening to this song today! 🤘Skynyrd!
The band was tight because of Ronnie van zant the lead vocalist you learn your part in rehearsals and did not mess up. Ronnie was a street fighter you did not take him on❤
"Gimme 3 Steps" should be next.
Steve Gaines. From Miami, Ok. Badass gone too soon along with his sister and Ronnie.
Yeah, they were so tight because Ronnie expected perfection and they rehearsed constantly. It always shows!!
An album reaction to this “Street Survivors” and their double live “One More From The Road.” Their live performances were perfectly performed because they put in the work. Tight 👈
That bass line!
Its about someone got to this little gem🤘❤️
Another boogie-banger that’ll get you moving is “Swap Music”. 🔥
Wow you guys are kicking it. Always great watching.
You guys are absolutely right! The whole band was very talented and creative! This album was just loaded and released 4 days before the plane crash that, in my opinion ended the band.
Y'all are some straight shooters!
My favorite Skynnard tune!
Never heard that song before. That was fun!
Mississippi Kid and Mr Banker is a couple great songs to check out
Another great reaction guys. I was waiting for you guys to get to this one. On that fateful day of that horrible tragedy my world got a whole lot smaller, "I Ain't The One", and "Saturday Night Special" are a couple of good ones as well.
Recently discovered you guys. I love your educated reactions. Definitely the best on CZcams.
Great song. You guys need to listen to "Gimme Three Steps" and "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Southern rock and the 1970's, best of times, best music!
Another great cut from the same album, You Got That Right. The pause….you’ll know it when you hear it! Written by Steve Gaines and Ronnie Van Zant who traded vocals on it.
Check out “On the hunt” and “Saturday night special” and “Needle and the spoon by Lynyrd Skynyrd💣🔥🥁🎸
It's such a shame what happened. They were really hitting a stride, the songwriting was excellent and the band was getting better and better.
Every song on this album is tremendous !
Exactly!
This was going to be my next request on your next Skynyard reaction....LOL
Another great review. Keep it up and we'll keep watching!!!
Another great one. They have so many more great songs
Nice vid 6 days since Black Sabbath jonesing ty!!!
Plenty more from LS keep Icoming

You should find Artimus Pyles recounting of the night their plane crashed.

An old camp on the creek in shantytown. There story is something else 😮 thanks for giving me someone to listen to great music with and great job gentlemen!
North Florida swamp boogie
You guys make us hear and appeciate new nuances and perspectives after all these decades of listening to these songs.
I Need You, T for Texas, On The Hunt - Winterland 1975
Most of there songs are original, this one is a classic blues song ( upbeat start of rock and roll type blues)
Y'all are great. Thanks!
Good stuff. Nasty Lynyrd Skynrd licks. Classic rock at it's best. Well done, gentlemen. Y'all need to hit "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe" and get their solid blues grounding and where it came from.
Great song 😮
Don't forget to Boogie children 🇺🇸🇨🇦🌄
I think this is my second favorite LS album next to Pronounced. Thir first and last OG.
