Thanks Taft!
The Netflix documentary on Skynard was good.
The Netflix documentary on Skynard was good.
i didn't know there was one. thank you I will check it out
The Convair CV-240 went thud? Dark shit, man.
Stalin, have a listen to the last track on A Southern Rock Opera[/i] by The Drive By Truckers.
I think it’s called if tomorrow never comes. Netflix also has a good ZZ Top documentary. I started watching the CCR documentary but fell asleep.
Oh yes I posted about the ZZ Top documentary a year or two ago.
They said that album came out about four days before the crash. The record company quickly redid the cover to remove the flames.
I watched it, it was great.

Correct.
I always wonder how it would have played out for Skynyrd if the crash had not occurred. The first 2 albums are all timers, but the last three were all somewhat mediocre. Two or three greats tacks on each combined with some filler. They seemed to be trending downward.

To my ears, they had two great songs and three good songs. The rest were meh
Baseman
New Fish
Pup was the inspiration for That Smell
From his incoherent posts formulated on Ludes to the prescient prediction "tomorrow might not be there for you (Pup)"
Pup in flames was on the original Street Surviors album cover but after the plane crash, Mods influenced record stores to pull the album with Pup for sale and new covers, sans Pup, were quickly substituted.

There's too much coke and too many poundings

I looked up the band members who survived the plane crash. 1-2 were dead around 50. Hard living catches up to you. There’s still a Skynard band in name out there but Ronnie was the most important member and without him, who cares?

I never paid any attention to the Johnny Van Zandt let LS tribute band. The band died in the plane crash.
My best guest is that they fade away Allman Brothers style- i.e., no longer artistically relevant post the 70s, but continue to be a popular concert draw.

In retrospect, this has been my take as well. 76 was their high water mark for me, and that was when I started to get into them. That was when the live album came out (which still stands up today big time), and when they blew the Stones away at Knebworth. IMO, the last few albums were over-produced. It took the rawness out, which is what made them, for me.

From many accounts, Ronnie was getting his shit together, and working on the rest of them to do the same.

I read that Ronnie's daughter died a few years ago from cancer in her 30s.
Just listened to it. This is good 2AM heroin music, as you once said about me listening to Charlie Parker's "My Old Flame"
