If said whippersnapper had asked my age he would have answered, "Old! you are GOD."

I was never fortunate enough to see Skynyrd play Live back in the day however I saw the group that rose from the ashes play 8-9 years ago and it was a great show!!
My daughter was a Junior in high school and my son was in 8th grade. The were on their feet the entire show! They also knew the words to Every Song!

They played for an hour and a half without a break. Then they took a Very Short Break and of course finished off with Freebird.

I for one am glad that they are continuing to carry on so the music can be heard and enjoyed by those of us that were there all those years ago and for those that are just discovering some wonderful music!

Enjoy;

I looked at him and said "Your off by about 6 years he did those in '68 or '69". He asked how the hell I'd know and I told him "Cause I'm Old, I was there". He asked "How old are you man"? I said "50" and he replied "GOD you are Old, you're older than my folks". I said; "Tried to tell ya son".

should have told him how many different bands by then! Tc

Well Tc, that outdoor concert in Milwaukee cost the promoters more than some pocket change.

After some research I find that these are the 'current' pricing for a One Time performance both here in the US and Abroad:

Minimum Fee - U.S. Dates
$150,000-$299,000

Minimum Fee - Intl. Dates
$300,000-$499,000
Please note that these are the 'Minimum' fees I'd say that Skynyrd is still in demand!

Jamie my friend, I hope you will enjoy this one also! While this is the very first time I've seen this video, back in the day when the Earth and I were young I listened to the studio version till the 45 was worn out!

I find it interesting that the enunciation of 'Deuce' is much better live. For years myself and I believe millions of other thought it was 'Douche'
