    That moment when he was soloing w/Gary and Gary straight up gave Marcus a lil bow...like "respect to you young man". Saturday night special has always just ripped. I always thought it was such a perfect use of guitars.

    Marcus is the perfect example of a true musician. Not only is he an exceptional player, he can freaking sing beautifully. Also, one of the best live shows I’ve seen in recent times. Great mix of classic and not the generic boring blues that are overdone, he mixes it up into his own sound.

    Ronnie Van Zant and a few of the other guys in Skynyrd were heavily influenced by Free (the band). Songs like Saturday Night Special, Cheatin' Woman and On The Hunt its easy to hear the influence. The whole Nuthin' Fancy sounds like they were listening to alot of Free at the time. Great album.
