RIP Bob Burns
« on: April 04, 2015, 03:56:58 PM »
I just can't get over how time has been so unkind to members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. All of them should have lived to be old men.

I agree.  Very sad, very tragic.

Friday 21st October 1977 was just another day for some folks... the news stung me... one by one they're being called home... Won't you fly free-bird...

RIP Bob. I listened to the version of "Trust" that he was on for the longest time before I heard the version on Gimme Back My Bullets and the tune never sounded right to me without Bobby.

I'm seeing the remains next week - they have a solitary gig in Germany. My son is a Lynyrd Sky-nerd!!! I don't how often he made me listen to the studio version of Free Bird on our trip (I had previously only know the live one from "One for from the road").

My favourite live version was from a BBC recording of a gig they played in Cardiff on the first part of the '75-'76 tour... It's commercially available now but was a boot' for years called "Cardiff Peaches"... had it on vinyl shortly after I saw them the first time... I was packing up my tee's over the weekend and came across my "On The British Road" tour shirt... still just about wearable...

How was the father/son bondage bonding trip...?

Simple disinheriting may be too good for him...
Tell him he will be relegated to budget copies in future... something RB would not even be interested in destroying in his heyday...
And cheap strings... :vader:
Hmm... I think I can hear music... loud Wagnerian music... and the smell of hot, musty lederhosen, on a warm august night in Bavaria... :mrgreen: :toast:

That Cardiff show is very good, but isn't that the tour when they were short one guitar player?  Before Gaines joined up?

When they played Reading or some other live festival in the UK, Gaines was already with them. Weren't they two lead guitars all the way originally and Gaines only joined as the third man a few days or weeks before "One for from the road" was recorded?

Ah, I had forgotten about him. Collins, Rossington, King - that makes sense.
