Title: Re: R. I. P. Gary Rossington Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on March 11, 2023, 06:24:16 PM From Wikipedia, “Lynyrd Skynyrd's fan base continued to grow rapidly throughout 1973, largely due to their opening slot on the Who's Quadrophenia tour in the United States.”
I was at the LA Forum show of this tour. 30 rows from the stage. Anyway, Skynard was doing their set and getting booed, “we want The Who”. At the end of their set, they started F”ree Burd” with Gary playing that epic slide lead guitar part. The place went nuts. It was, “oh, your ‘that’ band’. Great memories. And yes, The Who were amazing!!! |
