Wow, we’re the same age. But I ain’t done yet and his music will live on.

I saw them in Milwaukee in 1975, and my ears are still ringing!

In the 90’s I was at a Neil Young show in Atlanta when the inevitable for the era cry for “FREEBIRD!” came from someone in the crowd between songs. Loudly enough and often enough that Neil finally addressed it by giving the guy some poo, in which he said “Those guys are dead!”

A shout came from down front “No I’m not!”

Rossington was in the audience! He and Neil (from the stage) chatted briefly, then the show resumed. But it was a really funny moment.

They’ll probably make some contrived story of how a bunch of session players have a connection with the original band, and the little brother will have them on tour again next summer.

Great band. Loved them, Outlaws and Atlanta Rhythm Section back in the day.

I used to shout “Freebird!” at metal and punk concerts to have a little fun. I’ll have to resurrect that again at upcoming gigs if the timing and mood are right for it.
