This special release holds profound significance as it features the final performance of founding member Gary Rossington. Less than five months before his passing in March of 2023, Rossington — the last surviving original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd — expressed an earnest hope that the band’s music would continue to be performed even after he wasn’t around. And just as they’ve done for over 50 years, the band remains a driving force in rock, honoring their roots while bringing their signature sound to new audiences.

Originally formed in 1964 as My Backyard, the band evolved into Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1968, with a lineup featuring Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Gary Rossington (guitar), Allen Collins (guitar), Larry Junstrom (bass), and Bob Burns (drums). Their 1973 debut album introduced the world to their unmistakable blend of blues, country, and hard rock. Hits like “Sweet Home Alabama” and the timeless “Free Bird” cemented their status as pioneers of the genre.
At the peak of their success, in 1977, a devastating plane crash claimed the lives of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backup vocalist Cassie Gaines, leaving the music world in shock. Despite the unimaginable loss, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s legacy endured, and their music remained a beacon of Southern rock.
In 1987, the band reformed with Ronnie’s younger brother, Johnny Van Zant, taking over as lead vocalist. Lynyrd Skynyrd continued to tour and record, with guitarist Rickey Medlocke returning to the fold in 1996. Though founding member Gary Rossington’s passing in 2023 marked the end of an era, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s influence remains stronger than ever. Their enduring music, spirit, and legacy will forever stand as a testament to the power of rock and roll.
“Y’know, when we started this band…we always wanted to be in front of people hearing our songs,” Rossington explained while in Nashville for the live recording at the Ryman, which turned out to be his final performance with the band. “I want our music to endure because I’ve seen people…when they don’t play anymore, they kind of fade away and people quit talking about them. You don’t hear their songs or see their image on the Internet or anything. We wanted to stay around. That was our dream, for the band to play and play our music and let that be heard.”
Adds Medlocke: “Gary expressed many times his wishes that the music didn’t perish with him, that the legacy of the music would continue, not just on the radio or TV or in soundtracks but for the band to take it to the fans, go out and make sure that we delivered it 100 percent. That’s what we do.”

“This is all about the music and keeping it alive and keeping those guys alive through the music,” says Johnny Van Zant. “People want to hear it, and they want to hear it played live. I have people all the time saying, ‘Thank you for carrying it on so we can experience it.’”
Adds Rickey Medlocke: “Gary expressed many times his wishes that the music didn’t perish with him, that the legacy of the music would continue, not just on the radio or TV or in soundtracks but for the band to take it to the fans, go out and make sure that we delivered it 100 percent.
