Having grown up in the 1970s and \u201980s, I was exposed to the down-home rock-n-blues that these boys masterfully helped create during the heyday of what would become known as Southern Rock. Skynyrd, with a host of other bands such as <strong>The Charlie Daniels Band<\/strong>,<strong> Marshall Tucker<\/strong>, <strong>Molly Hatchet<\/strong>, and<strong> The Allman Brothers<\/strong>, all fed into a new genre of rock that helped define a unique flavor of music.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rickey Medlocke and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Rickey Medlocke and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" data-id=\"65841\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181116_LynyrdSkynyrd_RoFoArena_DaveRoberts_02.jpg\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" scale=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rickey Medlocke and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rickey Medlocke and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Rickey Medlocke and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" data-id=\"65841\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181116_LynyrdSkynyrd_RoFoArena_DaveRoberts_02.jpg\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" scale=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rickey Medlocke and Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/p>\n<p>Sadly Lynyrd Skynyrd has been marred by tragedy, death, and lawsuits over the span of their career dating back to the mid-1960s when <strong>Gary Rossington<\/strong> (original guitarist), who is the only remaining survivor of the original line-up, met the fellows in Jacksonville, Florida. <strong>Rickey Medlocke<\/strong> (guitar and vocals) knew and played drums for Lynyrd Skynyrd before their first record, but didn\u2019t become a member of the band until 1996. With that, it is without question why the band continues performing; it\u2019s all about the music! Continuing the legacy of the band&#8217;s songs is the main focus of Lynyrd Skynyrd, night after night, playing for the Skynyrd Nation, their fans. &nbsp; And play they did.From the very first note of \u201cWorkin for MCA\u201d until the very last note of \u201cFreebird,\u201d it was terrific that practically every single song was a noticeable classic. There is something about a band that features three guitars, slinging back and forth throughout the performance that grabs the concert goers, rips open their music receptacles and shreds them into little dancing pieces. Being able to sing, word for word, almost every hit all night long was such an enjoyable experience while the band jammed for nearly two hours.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" data-id=\"65837\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181116_LynyrdSkynyrd_RoFoArena_DaveRoberts_15.jpg\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" scale=\"0\"><\/span><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" title=\"Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" data-id=\"65837\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181116_LynyrdSkynyrd_RoFoArena_DaveRoberts_15.jpg\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" scale=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-align: start;\"><\/span>Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/p>\n<p>Combining a stellar light show with live and archived video, the staging was such a creative enhancement to the performance. Lead singer <strong>Johnny Van Zant <\/strong>made sure that everybody knew how much this band loved their fans, and wanted to include them in the experience of a Lynyrd Skynyrd show. Thanking the rowdy Baltimore crowd was a re-occurring scene throughout the night, and one that you could genuinely tell was from the hearts of the band.Working through a conglomerate of classic-rock songs, Skynyrd had several definite standouts during the night. Although Rossington, Medlocke and guitarist <strong>Mark \u201cSparky\u201d Matejka <\/strong>all contributed, it seems like the guitarists each had certain songs that became theirs to feature. Rossington drove the band through \u201cGimme Three Steps\u201d while Matejka, filling the parts of <strong>Ed King<\/strong> to whom they dedicated this song due to his passing earlier this year, tore his way through \u201cSweet Home Alabama.\u201d Medlocke was smiles all night long while often flirting with the crowd with his wild-man guitar antics.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" data-id=\"65843\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181116_LynyrdSkynyrd_RoFoArena_DaveRoberts_19.jpg\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" scale=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd\" data-id=\"65843\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181116_LynyrdSkynyrd_RoFoArena_DaveRoberts_19.jpg\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" scale=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCall Me The Breeze,\u201d originally written by<strong> J.J.

This was a very nostalgic evening of rock and roll at it\u2019s finest; great music, great fan participation, and a vibe at <strong>The Royal Farms Arena<\/strong> in Baltimore that was just top-notch. The Marshall Tucker Band opened the show and helped ready the Baltimore crowd.

From rock to blues, jam bands to metal, music has been an enjoyment for him since a very young age. It was an obvious blend of hobby and profession when he started taking his camera to shows. Although his interest is more on the photography side, writing is a unique challenge that enables him to share his experience of live music with others."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
