It's now 2023 and all of the Free Birds have all flown home. They all live in Rock n Roll Heaven. Now all of the most original members have left now left us. Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd. Brother's and Sisters forever.

A revamped Lynyrd Skynyrd Band 10 years after the crash. 1987 / One of my Favorites 'Comin Home' JVZ looked so much different then. Love Allen Collins seen in a few spots here. Also Love ED KING ♥ They're all gone now. (except Arti) May God Rest their Souls for eternity. RIP Gary Rossington♥

In the mid 70s I chased a dream. In 84 I listened to this song one night, and knew it was time to 'go home'. Best decision of my life. I've loved this song for so long now. I so miss all the Skynyrd players who went home.

I was there in 75 witnessing this incredible southern band. The band was very tight but free flowing when they played. When I saw them barefooted with long hair it was hard to believe how good they were. They were my favorite band hands down. Back then I never thought anything of the confederate flag they had I just thought that’s where they were from good ol’ southern boys taking the world by storm!

I saw them twice in 87, in Louisville & Lexington Ky. This is one of my favorite Skynyrd songs. Johnny's vocals on this song is outstanding. I wonder whatever happened to Randall Hall who replaced Allen Collins. It was good to see Ed King back with the band & what a great guitar picker he was. Southern Rock Rules!

I saw them at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, during the reunion tour. Great evening and performance for those who never were able to experience the original line up (my brother and I had tickets to see them at the Spectrum in 1977, but it wasn't meant to be and I remember being devastated as Pronounced was the first album i owned and they were my favorite band). They still are 47 years later.

I saw Miami 1976. Miami ‘77. Orlando ‘87. I thought that would be the last. In 2014 I won ticket to see them at Universal. Got to take my then 17yr old son. They kicked ass. Every single time. I’ve walked and heard there is footage and audio from Miami and 77, just days before the crash. I hope it sees a light day one day! I had brought a tape deck in with me, and recorded the whole show, but it didn’t work when it came time to record Freebird. I had to take her about 15 years. I don’t know what the hell ever happened to it. Wish I had share with the world today!
