Lynyrd Skynyrd - Collected Broadcasts 1975-1991 [4CD] Limited Box Set (import)
Limited Edition 4CD Box Set!
Fantastic Set of live performances from the ultimate Southern Rock band!
Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, and Gary Rossington had been playing together since 1964 under various names, but in 1970 they became Lynyrd Skynyrd, and so began one of the most dynamic albeit tragic music careers in the annals of rock music. Crafting a distinctive 'southern' sound through a creative blend of country, blues, and a British rock influence, the group became incredibly popular through the 1970s and it was only the tragic events of autumn 1977 which stopped their onward march through the music biz.
This 4CD set celebrates the quite awesome music and performances that Lynyrd Skynyrd made and undertook during their time together, and features four superb radio broadcasts of live performances they played across the years. Disc 1 includes a show Skynyrd gave in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in March 1975, while Disc 2 contains a concert they performed later the same year in Cardiff, Wales, which was recorded for broadcast on the King Biscuit network. The set continues on Disc 3 with a post-air crash show - one of the first the remaining members performed - at what was named the Superstar Jam, a charity show arranged by Charlie Daniels, at which the group performed with a number of other friends and musicians, who together put on a very impressive and now somewhat legendary show. The set concludes with a 1994 performance by the regrouped Lynyrd Skynyrd featuring four major members of the pre-crash band.
Includes the tracks 'Free Bird', 'Sweet Home Alabama', 'What's Your Name', 'That Smell', 'Gimme Three Steps', 'Saturday Night Special', 'Call Me The Breeze', 'Simple Man', 'I Ain’t The One', 'You Got That Right' and many more.
