They're from my home town so I thought it would be bad manners to put them up there...but yeah I like that one and a few of their others. I think Toy was also a Marine and served in Vietnam.

Too many great choices to pick one winner, but Tuesday's Gone has always grabbed my feels...

What a Rabbit Hole this thread could fall into.
Another great one that always gets me... What is it about women and trains?

I never really cared for some of their most popular, especially Free Bird. I suppose it could be because it was on the radio so much back then. I gravitated towards some of their lesser know songs.

Back then I was a wannabe guitar player so I Know a Little, Saturday Night Special, That Smell were my fav's.

Yep... Amazing song the first 500 times you hear it, but much like Stairway to Heaven, there can be too much of a good thing.

Yep another song I won't listen to anymore...always liked Zep's song Rock and Roll though!

[Gater]

Yep... Amazing song the first 500 times you hear it, but much like Stairway to Heaven, there can be too much of a good thing.

I agree with you all, but give the classic live version a try (or retry) sometime if it has been a while. The finale really is amazing.

Play it pretty for Oakland...

Ballad of Curtis Loew is another winner.

Must have been fun playing that in front of Jimmy!

Wow. Okay, ya got me.

Perfect reminder that STH might be one of the best "slow build" songs ever.

Thanks. :)

The solo was Joe Bonamassa.

Post #16, ID him as Shane Fontayne. Doesn't really matter to me.

Geez you just had to mention that

The date caught my eye, 27 April is my son's birthday (33 on Monday.) Also, 3 days before Saigon fell.

Some great music up in this thread! Southern Classic Rock is what I grew up on. Some Dickie Betts in his prime.

I scrolled through this thread just to make sure this ^^^ got mentioned. :)

[JAD]

First, in answer to the OP, everyone likes southern rock. They play it at quinceañeras and bat mitzvahs.

For me the Allmans did the best work of the recognized SR bands, but the Stones made the greatest southern rock ever; see Exile on Main Street.

For great current SR I highly recommend Alabama Shakes.

I saw Skynyrd on their tour 10 years after the accident. Ronnie’s little brother Johnny was singing for them. The last encore was obviously to be Freebird. The whole stage was lit in blue light, with one single white spotlight shining down onto the mic stand. Johnny walked out holding one of Ronnie’s old hats and told the audience there was only one person who could sing this song, his brother Ronnie, and he was dead. He put the hat on the mic stand and told us it was up to us that night. He walked off stage as the band began to play. We in the audience sang that song start to finish. Johnny came back out for the guitar run at the end as video monitors showed old band clips and pictures of those who perished.

It still gives me chills to think about, and is my most vivid concert memory of many, many concerts. Especially realizing that most of the people on that stage were the survivors, and had to relive that in some way every time they played.

[O4L]

Best song ever written./thread

Derek Trucks is a fave.

Oh man.. I hated that song for years. Any musician playing clubs in anywhere in the south in the 70's and early 80's had to listen to that "always one somewhat inebriated fucker" in the back screaming, "Freeeeee Biiiiirrrrrd!" between every song from about 9:30 on.

I've always wondered if they ever got any shit over the flute. Such an awesome song that they probably didn't.

They still do that.

Although I live 5000 miles north-east of there, I like this music very much. Some of my long-time favorites:

Tom Petty - Grew Up Fast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTUVPA9y4rkhttp://)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqfwbf3X8SA)

ZZ Top - Sleeping Bag (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USBGJ9Sa5NI)

Does ZZ Top qualify? I thought Texas was kinda a place unto itself and more associated with Blues... But...if we're gonna go there; this may be one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Blackfoot and The Outlaws were my particular favorites, along with the early Allman Bros. All great stuff.

A couple that have not been mentioned:


The Henry Paul Band - their debut album in 1982 was one of my most listened to records in high school that senior year. Paul was the lead singer for the Outlaws with that great booming basso voice and this band was a bit harder rocking. "feel the Heat" to this day is in my desert island song playlist


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG4LBxy1N8k


And this one tends to get overlooked but it so rooted in Southern Rock - Hank Williams Jr and Friends. Recorded at Muscle Shoals and had performances from Charlie Daniels and Marshal Tucker band members. This is the album that set Bocephus' future career success.

Back in those days, I could only listen to Hank Jr. if I was wearing my hat...just sayin'. A Country Boy Can Survive
