    Yes - great memories.  Remember the 3 guitarists at the front of the stage at Knebworth.  Amazing Freebird.  RIP.

    Freebird definitely in my top 10 tracks of all time, got to be one of the best guitar solo's known to planet Earth.
    RIP Gary.

    What an amazing and blistering hot day that was, Seen a lot of bands but Lynyrd Skynyrd were amazing that day.

    I've got 'Freebird' and 'Sweet Home Alabama' on my Alexa playlist and I play them both at least twice a week, great songs great guitar playing.
    So very sad that the last of the original band has gone.
    RIP Gary, you are now a 'Freebird'.
    Thank you for the music x

    RIP. This is on my YouTube play list, I know it’s not the original band but it’s a fantastic version from a few years ago. Some proper rednecks in the crowd!

    Sad news. RIP. Probably my favourite band of all time. However, never took to the new version of LS.

    One of my all time favorite bands after the pistols of all things !! Got into them when the OGWT played Freebird in hommage to the plane crash which blew me away. Super three line guitar attack and Ronnies vocals were spot on.

    Named after a teacher at high school who gave them a hard time ... Leonard Skinner if memory serves..

    No mate, never heard of them or read that band name before, even though Sweet Home Alabama is an absolute classic tune. Just played Free bird and never heard that before

    RIIP. If you don't know how good these guys were, Google freebird on old grey whistle test.

    Ironically, their debut album was called “Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd”

    I enjoy quite a few L S songs, they often combine humour with pathos and down home reality .. BUT 'Free Bird' ? .. nah, repetitive, over hyped geetar riffs .. whatever R I P Gary R

    Quite ironic that Gary was the last original member to pass away as "That Smell" was written about his antics.
