I made 4 Volunteer Jams. III was the first one. They were awesome.I saw them at Starwood as the headliner of Charlie Daniel’s Volunteer Jam. It was the first time they’d played together since their plane crash. They didn’t announce who was going to perform until they were introduced. Needless to say, the place erupted when Charlie told everyone it was LS.
I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan and Great White that day too.
Any old heads remember an outdoor festival in Charlotte, football stadium, in ‘73/‘74 ?
ZZTop was very new to scene, Allmone Bros, can’t remember much maybe Nugent but one lead guitarist crowd surfed, never missed a lick
Just old Guy
Dude I was 10That’s way old heads. @NorthDallas40
I think the one I went to was in ‘87. It was at Starwood and I had a great time. I was 19 and a group of us went.I made 4 Volunteer Jams. III was the first one. They were awesome.
RIP Charlie
lol… it’s amazing how hard we could party back in the day.Similar but different. Saw Willie Nelson's 4th of july Picnic in '83 at Atl Motor Speedway (then AIR). 300,000 people. Whole infield was packed solid. Doobies everywhere. Total smoke out. David allen Coe parachuted in. also had Linda ronstadt, Waylon & Jessie, Stray Cats, and Willie. 100 degrees down in that infield that day. Whew!.
Saw wu tang in Jax but method man wasn't at the show because he was doing promos for one of those soul plane movies, so we drove to Tampa a few days later for their next show when he was back. Both great shows.
Skynyrd is a cover band now...
I saw them in Nash with Method Man, De la Soul, and Talib Kweli. I enjoyed it but left feeling concerned for GZA's health.
I suspect he had a stroke and it never leaked.
Edit: also Nas was ****ing there. What a line up.
If I recall, we may have left a hair early to avoid that. It was miserable. After Coe and Ronstadt it was down hill. Stray Cats were a fish out of water at the event but my first time hearing of them and were pretty darn good I thought. It might bee better now but in the AIR days the in/out egress was horrid. And we only lived in The next town south 15 minutes away.lol… it’s amazing how hard we could party back in the day.
How long did it take to get out of that place afterwards? I went to a race there around ‘95 and it literally took us HOURS just to get out of the parking lot/pasture.
On the way in that morning we stopped at a BBQ joint on one of the side roads from the interstate to the speedway. We walked in and the tables were covered with dirty dishes, piled up, food all over them and there was a guy sitting at one that looked just like the dirty dude off of Hee Haw, Vern Nagger.
It was the dirtiest damn place I’ve ever seen.
Man that is one depressing post. Thanks for that.Foreigner is as well when they tour. Mick Jones hasn’t been touring and he has Parkinson’s. Lou Gramm is currently out of Foreigner.
Lynyrd Skynyrd without the original pickers, BP, RVZ, and even the Honkettes is certainly a fake representation. Medlocke ought to stick with fronting Blackfoot. JVZ should be in a southern rock all stars type of band. With Marshall Tucker, the Outlaws, and 38 Special survivors if there are any left. Every original member of Molly Hatchet is gone.
