Having only been a Skynyrd fan for around six months, since catching them live in June 2003, i would recommend this DVD to anyone wanting to get as close as possible to the Lyve Skynyrd without actually being there. The fact that it was recorded in 1997 shouldnt put anyone off as it really does convey how the band perform & their love of what they are doing. The changes in tempo in the gig have to been seen & heard to be believed. All the famous Skynyrd tracks are there, Freebird, Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps along with a variety of both poignant & toe-tapping hits. If like me you wanted to see the band in their natural habitat then buy this DVD.

Gary Rossington is a founding member & guitarist of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rossington formed the band as a teenager with friends Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Larry Junstrom & Bob Burns in the summer of 1964. Lynyrd Skynyrd recieved national exposure starting in 1973 with the release of their first album & hit single Free Bird. They disbanded in 1977 when a plane crash killed members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines & Cassie Gaines. Rossington formed The Rossington-Collins Band with former Skynyrd guitarist Allen Collins in 1980. He helped to form the reunited Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1987 & continues to record & perform with them today.
