Lynyrd Skynyrd Cincinnati Tickets

In 1996, Freebird... The Movie was released , consisting of backstage and home footage of the band, live concert performances of the original line-up, including their Knebworth festival performance. The film also includes footage from the cockpit of their plane, as it takes off and in the air.
Rossington and Collins formed The Rossington-Collins Band between 1980 and 1982, releasing two albums. Pyle formed The Artimus Pyle Band in 1982. Collins formed The Allen Collins Band in 1983. Tragedy struck Lynyrd Skynyrd again in 1986 when Collins crashed Lynyrd Skynyrd's car while driving drunk near Lynyrd Skynyrd's home in Jacksonville, killing Lynyrd Skynyrd's girlfriend and leaving him permanently paralyzed from the waist down.
The band continued to perform throughout the South in the early 1970s, further developing their hard-driving, blues-rock sound and image. In 1972, Leon Wilkeson replaced Larry Junstrom on bass, but left just before they were to record the first album (Wilkeson rejoined Lynyrd Skynyrd shortly thereafter at Van Zant's invitation). Strawberry Alarm Clock guitarist Ed King filled in as bass player, later switching to guitar after the album's release, allowing Lynyrd Skynyrd to replicate the three-guitar mix used in the studio.
