Summary: LYNYRD SKYNRYD "SWEET HOME ALABAMA" DVD
Comment: THIS IS A WELCOME "SURPRISE' DVD FROM LYNYRD SKYNRD.THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING 14 SONG DVD, THAT WAS FILMED AT THE LORELEY FESTIVAL IN GERMANY, DURING 1996. IT WAS FILMED BEFORE A VERY LARGE ENTHSUIATIC CROWD. THE BAND IS GREAT, THE ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT, THE MUSIC IS GREAT, MAKING THIS ONE GREAT CONCERT DVD!!! YOU EVEN GET THE REBEL FLAG AS AS A BACKDROP.
They perform all their classics, plus you get a few rare ones, like "I ain't the one", the entire version of "double trouble" instead of the medley version, and "SWAMP MUSIC" (This is a great rarity for concert dvd's, It's a great song, it has a reference to the late Bluesman Son House - ..."when the hound dogs start barking, they sound like Son House singing the blues..."). These make this concert more special.
You get the line-up of Johnny Van Zant on Vocal, Gary Rossington on guitar, Rickey Medlocke on guitar, and the late Hughie Thomossom on guitar, Billy Powell on keyboards, the late Leon Wilkeson on bass (this is another reason this dvd is special), Owen Hale on drums and Dale Kranz-Rossington and Carol Chase on backing vocals.
The "3 guitar" performances of Gary, Rickey, and Hughie are awesome!!! This was quite a team of guitar players. Just like Gary, Allen and Steve (or Ed), were and awesome team.
THE BONUS MATERIAL CONSISTS OF 3 SONGS: "WORKIN' FOR MCA", "FREEBIRD'AND "SWEET HOME ALABAMA". This was filmed in Hamburg, Germany during 1974. The line-up consists of Ronnie Van Zant on vocals, Ed King on guitar, Gary Rossington on guitar, Allen Collins on guitar, Billy Powell on keyboards, Leon Wilkeson on bass, and Bob Burns on drums.
NOTE - THIS BONUS MATERIAL IS SOMEWHAT "RAW" AND "UNPOLISHED", BUT IT IS VERY GOOD, ESPECIALLY FOR EARLY SKYNYRD FANS. I LIKE IT!!!
HOWEVER, IF YOU REALLY LIKE THIS BONUS MATERIAL OF THIS VERSION OF EARLY SKYNYRD, I RECOMMEND THE LYNYRD SKYNRYD "ROCK CASE STUDIES" DVD, BECAUSE IT CONTAINS MORE FOOTAGE OF THIS VERSION OF SKYNYRD, MORE FOOTAGE THAN THIS BONUS MATERIAL.
I LIKE ALL VERSIONS OF LYNYRD SKYNRYD, THE OLD SKYNYRD AND THE NEW SKYNYRD. THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING CONCERT DVD. IT even contains great liner notes included in the dvd package. YES, I RECOMMONED THIS CONCERT DVD!!! IT'S A GREAT ONE!!!

Summary: Great Vintage Lynyrd Skynyrd
Comment: SWEET HOME ALABAMA: THE ROCKPALAST COLLECTION features several vintage 1974 performances by the classic Lynyrd Skynyrd. Whether it's Bob Burns or Artimus Pyle on drums doesn't really matter, because they're both great in their own ways. If you love Southern rock, be sure to buy this video.
