I saw the pre plane crash Lynryd Skynyrd
in Ft Worth, Texas in 1974. They were on top of the world then and the concert was
great. It was the best concert I had ever
been to until I went to the first of 5 McCartney. I was a stupid kid in 10th grade and my buddies and I drove over
from Dallas. The lead singer and leader of the band, Ronnie Van Zant, somehow got
a cut on his forehead swinging the mic stand around. He had blood flowing down
his face the rest of the show. A guy I knew said he went to the band’s room after the show to find out
where the post party was and Ronnie was
getting his head patched up.
Planes have
been the death of many great rock bands beginning with Buddy Holly. I was at Texas Tech at the time and during one of my classes the professor got word somehow and announced to the class about the crash. It was very sad day.
I have not had the chance of seeing the new Skynyrd in concert. After seeing the original I don’t know if I could see the new.
