Summary: Arguably the best way to experience "Leonard"
Comment: This two-disc, two-and-a-half hour deluxe edition of Skynyrd's fifth album is perhaps the most enjoyable item in their catalogue. Okay, so the lyrics aren't Bob Dylan, but there are plenty of big riffs, big hooks, great melodies and smoking solos here.
The songs from the original line-up's last album, which came out the year after this one, are obviously missing, but almost all the best material from their first four LPs is here.
The many, many highlights include wonderful, crisp renditions of songs like "Gimme Three Steps", "I Ain't The One", and "Sweet Home Alabama", and a tough, gritty "Gimme Back My Bullets" which completely outdoes the studio version, as does a terrific, 8-minute "Tuesday's Gone" and a wonderful "Simple Kind Of Man". And this rollicking southern rock-version of "T For Texas (Blue Yodel #1)" is quite irresistable as well.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Cream did a better Cream on "Crossroads", and I think a ten-minute "Free Bird" might have been better than these two 14-minute "Free Birds", but those are certainly minor complaints. his is a terrific album. The band is tight but powerful, and the sound is top-notch. No Skynyrd fan, casual or diehard, should miss this one.
Great, great stuff, and one of the finest live American rock records of the decade. And a good choice if you're only ever going to invest in one album by "the redneck Led Zeppelin".

Summary: SKYNYRD RULES
Comment: ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS IN HISTORY. THIS WAS RECORDED AT THE FOX THEATRE IN ATLANTA IN 1976. IT CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF LYNYRD SKYNYRD IN ALL THEIR SOUTHERN ROCK GLORY AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR CAREER. IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO A SKYNYRD SHOW BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THEY TRULY ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN EVERY TIME THEY GOT ON STAGE. AND THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO THEIR TALENT.

Summary: Great live album
Comment: Skynyrd at their smokin' best. Another great live album from the 70's. I've owned it since it came out. Not big on re-dos. Give me the original. However, this is cool. I have never met anyone who did not like Skynyrd. Buy it.

Summary: better than I thought It would be
Comment: Jesus H Christ! What an album, "I mean CD". This CD blew my socks off! Un Friggen believable. I could not stop playing it. I bought the original back in 1977 before the plane went down.This was the album that really turned me on to Skynyrd. The sound is so much more improved on this new CD. Best live Album I have EVER heard! Nothing else comes close. Not the Eagles. Not Frampton, Nobody. PERIOD!

Summary: "one more from the road" ROCKS & ROLLS with the best of the "live's"
Comment: for 3 decades, i listened to the original album on both vinyl & maxell cassette tapes. while reading the booklet enclosed in the c.d., i read how they were able to add additional dialogue by ronnie van zant, additional crowd reaction, additional guitar solo licks, even an additional "Cream" cover, all unavailable on my double album set. also, alternate versions of afew songs were added on disc 2. all that i can say is "WOW" !!!!!!!!!
a job splendidly well done, in this remastered, reissued "WORK OF ART"!!
ANY skynyrd fan MUST HAVE this in their collection.

Dismissed by some as the redneck Led Zeppelin, yet beloved by a faithful and grassroots following for just that reason, Lynyrd Skynyrd sailed above it all--even the dark tragedy that befell them less than a year after this landmark live set was recorded in Atlanta. A triple-platinum perennial in its classic-rock heyday, this 25th anniversary edition has been digitally restored and authentically remixed on vintage '70s equipment to great effect. The band's performances have also been resequenced to their original running order to accurately recreate the Skynyrd '70s live experience. Even Allen Collins's later-overdubbed intro to their ubiquitous epic "Free Bird" has been restored with the original. Cameron Crowe's original notes are also here, long before Almost Famous, and he insightfully puts the album in its proper historical perspective. But the real premium here is the almost full disc of bonus cuts, including previously unreleased versions of "Simple Man," "Gimme Back My Bullets," "Workin' for MCA," "I Ain't the One," "Searching," and other alternate versions recorded during the Atlanta stand ("Gimme Three Steps," "Call Me the Breeze," "Sweet Home Alabama," "Crossroads," "Free Bird"), but until now scattered elsewhere in the Skynyrd catalog. --Jerry McCulley
