First time listening to Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@rihamy2nd]

As an old fart, it still amazes me that there are some people who have never heard these songs. I enjoy “discovering” them for the first time through your experiences. Great video.

The older I get the more I appreciate Lynyrd Skynyrd they really had it all together. Today's music holds nothing on this great and I mean great band . The musicians were at the top of their game concert after concert never missing a beat God I miss the original Skynyrd rest in peace ❤😢😢

[@mikefetterman6782]

This was also used in the movie DAZED AND CONFUSED but many of us just grew up with this on the radio once every couple of days. The 70s and earlier 90s were the best times to listen to FM radio.

[@notablindliberal896]

Skynyrd made beautiful music. The Southern Rock gods, IMHO. Thanks for the reaction.

[@cindijacobs230]

“Call Me The Breeze” is one of their best songs. It was written by the late great J.J. Cale.

[@paulwhite5840]

'That smell' should be your next skynard song it's just brilliant when you dive into it.

[@robertstultz2260]

@@leejones2010 that smell is the most realistic song I think Ronnie ever wrote!!! So true to the 70s!!!! One of the best 👍

[@827dusty]

This was written by Lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt about his one-time girlfriend named "Tuesday," like the actress Tuesday Weld. This was such a great band.

[@marionlcarpenter6255]

LOL Theres going to be a lot of gen z people that are going to say Tuesday WHO. A beautiful blonde from the early days of tv.. She was dobie Gillis love interest in The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis !!!! More who's can be heard .....

I got to see them and Charlie Daniels before the crash.. It was just amazing..

Without Ronnie there was no Skynyrd.

[@bcholio]

Was there any skynyrd music after?

[@kathrynrovinski3103]

@@bcholio The "revived" Skynyrd started in 1987 I think. Brother Johnny on vocals; not even close to Ronnie's vocals. My opinion. I did get to see Leon, Billy, & Gary perform; they were great. Those guys have all passed away now.

[@kevinmclaughlin1092]

This rabbit hole is so deep. Try CALL ME THE BREEZE, WORKIN' FOR MCA, BALLAD OF CURTIS LOEW, I AIN'T THE ONE, WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL. So many to choose from and they are all fire! 🔥

[@battleborngrafix4640]

Ballad of Curtis Loew is one of the best songs of all time IMO

[@kevinchalk9481]

I think it's odd that when you ask most fans what their favorite Skynyrd song is, most will say "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Freebird". Hardly anyone says this song, but it's been my favorite since I started listening to these guys. The rift is outstanding.

[@sherrelwilson7354]

Whiskey Rock A Roller is definitely my favorite!

[@brandymonville7511]

I'm 42, I saw my dad cry two times in my life. I was 14 driving up front with my dad in the station wagon. This song came on, he started crying, and when he saw me notice him, he said this was the song that was played at his best friend's funeral when he was 17. I'm the oldest, and he said, "please play this at my funeral." Thankfully he is still alive, but I know what song I'm supposed to play. Everytime I hear this...I get weird and want to be left alone. I love you dad.

[@janflewelling6277]

When I was in high school we had a Team Rolling Stones vs Team The Who. A few years later we were debating Allman Bros vs Lyrd Skynrd. Both were essentially ridiculous debates, because the reality is both teams were winners - we didn't have to choose!! And now 50 years later we're still basking in their greatness. Man we had the best music!

[@leannlaplante3643]

Yes, we did have great music. How fortunate we are.

[@MarkOrne-qh6zt]

Slow down there, "Tuesday's Gone" is a great tune but Skynyrd has a plethora of great tunes to choose from. Gimmie Three Steps, Sweet Home Alabama, Give Me Back My Bullets, Saturday Night Special, Call Me The Breeze (my favorite), What's Your Name, You Got That Right, Working For MCA, Ballad Of Curtis Lowe (my second favorite), That Smell, Whiskey Rock-A-Roller, Don't Ask Me No Questions, I Know A Little, Needle And The Spoon, Swamp Music etc., etc......You've got a few more to listen to before proclaiming one to be the best. "Tuesday's Gone" excellent, the best - maybe not.

[@richeaton5752]

👍 Time keeps on ticking... Fall of '73, my cousin opened a record store. (remember those? lol) I installed his audio system in the store. My other cousin, his brother, had just come from seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd open for The Who's Quadrophenia tour in Atlanta. The 1st record played on the system was Pronounced, the 1st Skynyrd album. After being blown away by Free Bird, we played Quadrophenia. Memories

[@LarryNtx]

Tuesday is his girlfriends name in the song. After the plane crash the lead singers brother Johnny Van Zandt was recruited to be the lead singer. There is another brother Donnie that is a member of .38 Special. The two brothers teamed up to record a couple of albums. I like Help Somebody and Get Right With The Man from those albums.

[@rebkins56]

It’s my favorite LS song, as well. We’ve loved them since they first hit the scene back in the 70,s. Nice reaction vid. Thumbs up! Ms C & Cutter

[@derrickgoodwin6192]

Every SKYNYRD song is a story in the lives of the band, this was and still is the absolute best band for real life songs.

[@MikeCote-cw2cn]

I don't think I have ever heard a Lynyrd Skynard song that I didn't like, these guys were awesome !!!!

[@scottlambert3337]

90 percent of their recordings were taken in one take. They practice their songs until perfection and then go to the studio a lay it down. They didn’t have any money and wanted to hold down cost. It’s great you pick up on how tight the band was playing.

[@mikesanders4362]

RVZ was amazing, and I still miss him to this day, and I love all of Skynyrd, but one person who doesn't get his due, and his joining the band from being a roadie ascended the bands sound in a major way, was Billy Powell. Exceptional piano player!!

[@arenmann8495]

I'm 26 and skynyrd wad the 1st band that really made me find music and deep dive around the age of 17. I was lucky enough to go and see skynyrd several times before Gary passed. Listening and watch him rip into those legendary slides sent chills up my back. Also watching the crowd some how ooze with this calm, excitement, and appreciation. Was magical.

[@MarioCrosby]

Beautiful, beautiful song. It's an amazing and somber feeling all at the same time thinking that if you just change out the name, you feel like the band made this song just for you. I lost my wife to cancer five years ago to cancer, so thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd for writing "Mila's Gone". Train roll on.

It is heartbreaking and honestly kind of weird how very many music legends were lost in plane crashes. Skynard and other great ones like CCR was 100% my music of choice as a kid. And i saw many of them live. Legends.

[@Im-out.Boomer]

I appreciate your takes on the music and your healthy drinks, but as a 70yo boomer I have to tell you... We were all stoned, drunk & or high while we listened to all of this music. Live was the only way to hear this. At the time you could smoke up on the floor, do 'shrooms, mesc, have your girl carry wine inside her bag, whatever. It was a scene. No one bothered you. It was a one time ever chance to hear the greatest musicians of anyone's lifetimes. None of us appreciated what we experienced. We all thought that this was what musical entertainment would always be. Fantastic music... on the floor of a coliseum with a blanket... rockin' your average (for the time) favorite jams. IMHO the last great concert was the 1991 Monsters of Rock concert in Russia - epic!!!

[@pjsbusa]

I’m odd but the Ballad of Curtis Loew is one of my fav’s.

[@christolstad815]

[@hlawrencepowell]

This is song writing at its finest. Funny how all the best songs were written in the 1960s and '70s. And before anyone says there are good songs written today, that's true. But you have to dig for them and it seems garbage songs are embraced by today's audiences as if there is no difference between bad writing and good writing -- and singing and performing. In the 1970s we were hit with timeless masterpieces almost every day of the week. I can make a list if you want.

[@WendellBurkhart-g9v]

One of my favorite songs ever . Sebs killing it with these Bangers.

[@sharonstark1014]

Check out "Sweet Home Alabama" one of their biggest hits. After the deaths of a lot of the original members, they re-formed in 1987 with Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny singing lead. Fun fact: Ronnie Van Zant never wrote down his lyrics to a song. He memorized them.

[@southernbella6535]

Love the bass line in this one, such great work. Keep listening to great music :)

[@GoldTop57]

The great Robert Nix played the drums on this track. He was the drummer for another great band, Atlanta Rhythm Section.

[@glennplesnarski4551]

The Ballad of Curtis Lowe, On the Hunt & Every Mothers Son are not mentioned much when it comes to Skynyrd but are awesome tunes.

[@davesage4931]

This song is in Dazed and Confused and it’s set to the end of a late night outside high school kegger and it’s a perfect song for that moment. For us that lived that in the 80’s it’s so bittersweet it hurts.

[@unheardinfo]

A lot of bands suffered losses, mostly due to drugs or plane crashes...We had a shift in music style from "rock-a-billy" to "rock & roll" with the plane crash on February 3rd, 1959 (the day music died, referred to in "American Pie") when the "Big Bopper", "Ritchie Valens" & "Buddy Holly" died...Off topic : check out the "JOYO15WDC-15S" amp...

[@MrRondonmon]

Always been my fav. Skynyrd song. Girls back in the day used to be Tuesday, some people thinks he's speaking about a woman leaving him on Tuesday. (Tuesday Weld is a famous actress from the 70s).

[@KevinRCarr]

About the "old reecording" thing. Analog tape had its drawbacks, but analog recordings retain some of the warmth in the sound of the music that can be heard when you're in the same studio/room with the band. Digital recording has some great advantages, but it generally lacks that warm sound.

[@milesoneil2263]

Another great southern rock band. Enjoy

[@JimFlickinger]

I agree with you sebs.... my favorite Skynyrd song!

[@fredbloggs6080]

There are quite a few songs that use the name or word Tuesday, such as Tuesday's Gone, Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones, the Beatles lyrics to She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, "Sunday's on the phone to Monday, Tuesday's on the phone to me." There is a band called The Real Tuesday Weld. There is some speculation that Tuesday weld is the inspiration behind most of this, and in the case of the Beatles lyrics it has been verified by at least one account. She was sort of a free-spirited rebellious nymph of an actress--a very good actress--and developed a cult following. Playwright and actor Sam Shepherd called her the Marlon Brando of actresses. In fact, she is my favorite actress, mostly her work in the 1960s up through 1970. I have a close-up shot of her from The Cincinnati Kid (1965) when she was about 22, as my iPhone wallpaper.

[@mariejustme]

Billy Powell hitting those keys! I really miss those guys. Going to a Skynyrd show was an experience I can’t explain. I guess you had to be there.

[@GTRxMan]

You need to go down the Skynyrd rabbit hole - you won't be disappointed. Next up should be something off of their Street Survivors album, which was released days before the plane crash. I suggest "That Smell," "What's Your Name," and "I Know A Little." Their live album, "One More From the Road," has great versions of their songs and some seriously good covers of "T For Texas," "Call Me the Breeze" and "Crossroads."

In the late 1970s when I was about 30, I lived for a couple years in a college town, in a downstairs efficiency in a four apartment building that had poor sound insulation between the floors. There were four college guys in the efficiency above me, and I could hear them clomping around every time they came down some stairs, and one time they were playing loudly what turned out to be Lynyrd Skynyrd when I was trying to relax. I had never heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and it is not my type of music anyway. I went upstairs to ask them if they could turn it down a little, and I mistakenly said that the bad loud music was coming through the floor strongly from above. Now, I couldn't get any real quality sound from that so to me it was bad music, aside from the fact that that I don't like that type of music. However, one of the four guys got very agitated saying it was Lynyrd Skynyrd and it was not bad music, and clenching his fists at his sides. One of his flatmates had to put his hand on his shoulder to calm him down. I said, I didn't mean to insult their music, it just sounds that way coming through the floor, or, something. So I escaped without getting beaten up.
