The manager of Ticketmaster called me and asked if I wanted tickets for the concert that night. I said who and where? Skynyrd, front row. Oh hell yeah!
Hank Jr. opened for the band.
Skynyrd came out and Johnny Van Zant gave me a fist bump....Gary Rossington was right in front of us, feet away. Billy Powell was still on piano.
When they played That Smell...whiskey bottle, brand new car, oak tree you're in the way....I pointed at Gary (who had crashed his car) and he gave me a head nod.
I have some great pictures, but am inept with picture posting on this sight.
I have seen plenty of concerts, but this was the first when Freebird was requested and the band delivered.
Edit: Gary threw me his guitar pick and I still have it....

that band died in a plane crash in Mississippi in 1977, I can't think of a more horrible and shameless band than what they "became" after that
