There's nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music." Adds Rossington, "We're still standing, Still keeping the music going.

The whole show was awesome. For how old they are they have not slowed down a bit from the 70's. Very impressed. They rocked hard played some of their new material from the 2000's and kept the crowd rockin ALL night.
They sang my favorite songs and they were just rocking. Their guitarists were amazing. I felt proud to be an American.
Skynyrd should have kept Los Lonely Boys' sound equiptment on stage, because Skynyrnds' speakers were shot and couldn't handle the volume. It was soo unbearable that I left after 4 songs. I wish I could get my money back !!!
Opening act unbelievable! These brothers can rock! great tunes and quite deserving of sharing the bill with Lynyrd Skynyrd to say the Least! Great show and always the nicest venue at Ironstone , makes for the perfect evening.
To start, Los Lonely Boys was fantastic. They have great energy and really seem to have a good time on stage. Their guitar playing was incredible as well! Of course the main reason to go was Lynyrd Skynyrd. I had seen them in the 70's and decided to relive those years. They were awesome! The music was classic as expected, but they really know how to interact with the audience. The venue was great and the weather was incredible. The only complaint was that I paid for a seat. I would have picked the grass area over the seats anyday had I have known. Very uncomfortable, too small, too tight. Luckily Skynyrd had us up on our feet most of the time. It was a great concert with two great groups.
SEEN HIM NUMEROUS TIMES. DAY ON THE GREEN IN OAKLAND CALIF IN 76 ON NEW YEARS EVE IS ENGRAVED IN MEMORY,BUT 2 YEARS NOW AT THE VINYARD AND ITS LIKE 1976 ALL AVER AGAIN. TAKE THE BIKES AND ENJOY THE VINYARD ROCK. SKYNYRD IS A TRUE AMERICAN ICON. HE BLESSED OUR COUNTRY,ARE SERVICE MEMBERS AND GOD ABOVE AND THEN ROCKED OUR SOCKS OFF WITH THE SPIRIT OF A 20 YEAR OLD. HIM AND WILLY DESERVE THE WALL WITH THE OTHER GREATS OF OUR CULTURE ONLY IN AMERICA CAN POOR PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH FUN
Skynyrd rocked the house at Ironstone! The venue, weather, crowd...WOW! Los Lonely Boys opened. What amazing talent these guys have and fun to watch and listen. Should you go to see both these groups...hell yeah!
Couldn't hear the guitars over the bass. We walked around to different areas of the venue trying to see if we were just in a pocket of poor sound, but it was consistent throughout the venue AND the evening...even when playing recorded music. The only thing that help a bit was to stand up instead of sit low in order to lose the excessive bass. Van Zant's voice was gravelly. In his defense, he worked hard to get the crowd engaged, but it more distracting than helpful. I attended this event two years ago at this venue, and it was much better. The new keyboardist was terrific!
Under a star lite night at Iron Stone Vinyards, the fans of both the Los Lonely Boys and Lynyrd Skynyrd saw a memorable show. The vinue was clean and packed with friendly people having good conversation and drink. The show opened with the Los Lonely Boys showing just what they came to Murphy's to do. Play outstanding music ! The three band members left a memorable impression of their skills with crowd. Hats off to the first time I saw this group. You guys rocked the house with your three man band. Lynyrd Skynyrd started out the night showing why they have been a rock Iegend for so long. The band came of the gates hard and loud. The band seemed to be louder then the lead singer at times, but the crowd seemed to know the words and sung along. It seemed to this first time Skynyrd concert goer, that the lead singer was not into the show by his facial expressions and timming. The vinue was in "Murphy's" but it was easyer to say whats up California. The band closed the show with their all time classic Free Bird. I was impressed overall and so was the crowd.
I'm a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd and to see them play on stage is something I will not forget. This was one of my favorite concerts that I've been to and I've seen ZZ Top, Hank Williams Jr, KISS, and Areosmith.
From the opening with Skynyrd Nation to the encore with Freebird, it's evident that this group has not missed a beat. I last saw them in '76 at Anaheim Stadium, when I was 17. The guitar licks were classic Skynyrd, and guitarist Ricky Medlocke rocked the house. Gary Rossington was impeccable, Van Zant's lyrics were spot on, and their drummer was big time. I'd like to see them again. Their latest piece from God and Guns "Still Unbroken" is what real Rock and Roll is all about.
These guys are what Southern Rock and Roll is all about.
I was standing in line for a t-shirt when the bands busses drove up. The band members were all standing in the front windows waving and looking like they were very happy to be there entertaining. Thanks guys. The sound system was playing ac/dc its a long way to the top and if anybody has gone a long way its Lynyrd Skynyrd. They got off the busses and a minute later Southern Rock Heaven.
Awsome show! was lucky to be 5th row center. Probably the fifth time I have seen them and in my opinion they only get better with time. Thanks Guys look forward to seeing you again when in So Cal
For a bunch of 'old guys' (like me), they had SOOO much energy. They played all their big hits, and one new one from their upcoming CD. Low point: a mid-set medley of non-hits. High point: Free Bird guitar solo duplicates the ones by Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. High energy from keyboards and drums too. Two Southern Belles sang doo-wop on Stage Right. All-in-all, highly professional and tight set. Even my kids (3 teens) loved it. REALLY LOUD!!!
After the recent losses of Billy Powell and Ean Evans you could see they are still on fire for what brought them together. They really are awesome!!!
Lynard Skynard rocked the Fairplex with many of their greatest hits. The band was full of energy and am looking foward to their new CD, "God & Guns'
Great Concert. Wasn't to happy with the box seats Box13. And it was off to the side to much.
This is the 10th Skynyrd show I've been to, beginning with the first time they played in California in 1973 or 4, when Sweet Home Alabama was a brand new song. Despite the tragic loss of keyboardist Billy Powell and bassist Ean Evans earlier this year, the band continues to persevere through tragedy! When I saw them in 2000 at the Universal Ampitheater, shortly after the passing of bassist Leon Wilkeson, "the Father of Southern Rock" Lacey Van Zant introduced them as "the toughest rock & roll band in the world". I have to agree- no other band has ever survived anywhere near the tragedy that Lynyrd Skynyrd has. Gary Rossington, Johnny Van Zant, Ricky Medlocke, Michael Cartelone, and the three newer members rocked the house with as much high-powered energy as ever! And you gotta love the "angels" (back-up singers Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase)! I truly believe Rossington and company wouldn't settle for anything less than greatness, in honor of those band members who have so tragically passed on. They were all remembered on video screens while the band played. If you haven't seen Skynyrd- you should see them while you still have a chance to! As the title of their new song says- this is a band that is "still unbroken!"
Amazing Im a big Lynryrd Skynyrd fan to good I wished it wounld"nt stop so much fun
