Many youtube videos explaining the details of the crash. One of them says one of the engines caught fire on one of the legs of the flight that crashed but, after the planed landed, cooled down, and refueled, some of the band members and crew wanted to take the equipment truck to the next destination, Baton Rouge, but Ronnie Van Zant persuaded them into continuing on that plane.

That statement proves how SUPERIOR and SMART and COOL you are :)

What a dumb ####ing comment.

Probably the best duo guitar lead ever written.

Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite songs from the sixties.

I used to have one of the live LPs where RVZ says, “What song is it you wanna hear?” and of course the crowd yells, “Freeeebirrrrrd”. And RVZ says, “Yeh, I heard it then.”

My guess would have been Smoke On the Water

Smoke On the Water is another tune that I like.

Fun version of how the song, "Gimme Three Steps" was inspired.

Lynyrd Skynyrd -Gary talks Gimme Three Steps/Gimmie Three Steps (Demo)

Um no, it was Ed King playing a strat.

You’d have to be deaf not to recognize that as a strat.
