Each time I saw Skynyrd minus RVZ and Allen Collins, I wondered to myself how great they were and how much greater it would have been to see the full lineup intact. I almost didn’t go to the reunion show the late 80s because of Ronnie and Steve being gone and Allen Paralyzed. In spite of missing such phenomenal band members they were still remarkably great!

Yeah plus they're one of the very very few bands that played their songs almost note for note live, as they were on an album. Ronnie said thats what the fans wanted, he was right.

Because that Charlie Daniels song has a similar upbeat southern rock vibe that the previously mentioned Skynyrd songs have.
