Lynyrd Skynyrd - DISAPPOINTING - AGAIN!!!
by harriet311 on 8/15/09Mid-America Center - Council BluffsRating: 3 out of 5Our seats were fabulous. I was really excited about seeing the band - since we hadn't for 2 years. I have seen them through the years - even before the crash. The last time I saw them I thought they did fine and I enjoyed them - but they did not play Red, White and Blue. This time we had such fabulous tickets, but again they did not play RED WHITE AND BLUE. I totally understand that Free Bird is their anthem and they have fought to be able to play that song - but Red White and Blue is a song with the new era of the band - with new members, and it really speaks to the fans who have supported them all these years. We are going through these same changes, and we have always been there for you - so why is this song always being left out of the set? I honestly thought the last time they didn't play it because Billy looked really tired after Free Bird - but now I am not sure what their thought is now. Also, maybe they are all touring too soon after Billy dying, because they looked a little sad - didnt' have the same spunk. This was not very well publicized either. When I told friends that I was going to see LS - they hadn't even heard they were coming to town - so the attendance was terrible. Because I love them - I would of course see them again - but I hope they do listen to some feedback and give us RED WHITE AND BLUE the next time they are in town.
