Simple Man featuring Dave Grohl, Warren Haynes, Artimus Pyle, Audley Freed and Ron Holloway

[@peggybrown9694]

My God. What a song writing monster Lynyrd Skynyrd was. I can't think of a single song they did that I don't like. One in a million band.

[@meatman716]

I could listen to Warren play his Les Paul all day everyday! Thoroughly enjoyed this

[@greenman7612]

Ronnie sure wrote some sweet songs!

And Don`t Forget AUDLEY FREED !!! A Great Nashville Musician. Always loved seeing him play with Warren !

[@appalachianrk]

Robert Kearns played bass with Skynyrd for a bit also, so there are two Skynyrd alumni in this lineup......Kearns and Audley have been playing together for many years now.

Warren Hayens now this man has the voice For Simple Man

[@rickcarter3541]

I love seeing Dave Grohl feeding off of Artimus and catching his vibes. Two drummers from two of the most influential bands of all time jamming on a song for the ages.

[@ronnie5129]

Rick, you said it here, Man

[@joshuaphillips9810]

Most definitely.

[@ChrisTwoferOne]

Let me say 1st and foremost with respect and kindness that Artimus Pyle is a great player and especially for his age BUT.....here it comes...wait for it...he has a tendency to overplay. As a drummer turned to guitar student now, it looks to me like Dave is trying to keep artimus held down slow & pretty in the pocket. Ol’ Warren finally gives up & during the other guitarists lead break starts holding it down for him by chopping out the rhythm on his guitar....that’s a pro move by warren. It makes the guitar player have to work harder. I know. I’ve heard my old man tell me this a million times and I hope I get to hear him tell me a million more! But overall great job by these exceptional players Artimus included! A drummers job is and should be backing the band and holding it down soft when pretty and raise it up hard when raunchy. It’s a lonely job out of the spotlight for the drums surrounded by the strings. Drums aren’t as eccentric and vain as those strings are. There would be a drum lead in every song and they would call them guitars if they were. But I could be wrong 🤷🏾....yeah I’m probably wrong. I’ll check with my wife 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾✌🏼

This was the Sunday after Xmas jam in Ashville, NC 3 ago. Warren and G'mule did " Dark side of mule" the night before. Looking forward to this year's Xmas Jam Dec 10, 2022 !!

If Warren Haynes is involved...it will be an awesome redo.

Ol Warren, he could make disco music sound good. I have to go to a Warren Haynes show,if I don't get to anyone else"s, I think he's about my favorite living musician.

How lucky were we to catch this show, laying on the couch, watching football after two night of Christmas jam and a buddy from Greensboro NC texts me about this show tickets on sale, couldn't get any online, so threw some winter gear on and drove to Orange peel and scored tix, amazing night on music!!

Ron Halloway has sat in with the Allman Brothers repeatedly.

I don't blame the poster (very grateful for this post!), but our world is broken that one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time is on that stage in Audley Freed and he is not named and hardly known. He has made a good living, but he should be up there with Hendrix, Clapton, Haynes, etc...

I must say @JPW........Opinions are something that everyone has and is entitled to, Me for instance, I am going to take advantage of this moment in time to address this "Guy" We will refer to him as an "AIR Burglar". Although Artemus is ageing and maybe free styling this a bit ~ Oh,may I remind you he lived through a plane crash Sadly all were NOT so lucky... So since the fella who can play better drums than Artemus Pyle, perhaps you can fill in for the Missing members of the Band instead there HOT SHOT !!! Oh by the way when you where being groomed as a "All around World Class Musician", did you manage to learn to fly an airplane too ? Perhaps you can do all the above but remember this My friend there are those who do it .......And then there's "YOU" , I guess that can be considered your failed interview and audition for the Band. I don't Blame them a bit. Sounds like you would of been a regular "Pain in the Ass" & Hell everyone would have to just put up with you ..... or perhaps you have to catch a quick flight outta town, Need a lift ?
