I saw them a half dozen times in the early 70s and knew Allen Collins in passing after the plane crash.
Then when I started living fulltime back in the US again in the late 90s, I’ve seen them twice outdooors in Rome Ga, once at the Ryman here at a benefit and twice at the now closed Nashville amphitheatre
and with all due respect they could still play flawlessly better than most older touring bands I’ve seen. I’d rank them with Sabbath and ACDC for still keeping that particular sound so tight
who can blame them for still wanting to tour if the fans are still out there....25,000 average crowd in Nashville and these guys can make 4-500K a year just touring 100 dates a year...hard tickets.
my girls are friends with Medlock’s daughter who lives here and my closest business associate is-was their booking agent thru William Morris
they planned on keeping on keeping on as long as there were fans....which oddly at any of their shows would be from 12 year olds to 60.....families together
Sweet Home Alabama is like Glory Hallelujah down here
Amen! And he died in my present home town, OP FL.
