The members killed in the plane crash were Ronnie Van Zandt (vocals)
Steve Gaines(guitar) and Cassie Gaines(backing vocals).Allen Collins
one of the original guitarists was involved in a car smash which
has now left him paralysed from the waist down.
The band which is now playing is
Johnny van Zandt vocals (ronnies brother)
Gary Rossington guitar
Ed King guitar
Randall Hall guitar (from gary's solo band)
Leon Wilkinson bass
Artimus Pyle drums
Billy Powell piano
the band have just put out a live album with various guests on it.Its
not bad but not as good as "one from the road".
According to "Kerrang" they are considering a british tour ,lets
just hope it happens.

Wasn't there a Rossington-Collins Band that toured several years
ago?

Yep there was. Not sure if they are still on the go though !!!
since a previous entry mentioned a Collins accident. I think
they recorded an album or two.

RE: .1
Interesting to see Ed King in the line up - my memory is faded,
but I think he was an original who left after about the third album.

re.4
I think you are correct, ed king did leave after the 3rd album.He
recently gave an interview in "kerrang" ,in which he gave the
impression he did not remember too much about the early days (due
to the effects of some substances).His appearance since the old
days has changed dramatically,he no longer looks like meatloafs
brother,he has lost a lot of weight.However his playing is first
class.

The band is currently touring the US and I think an album is in
the US top 50. Updates to this if/when I see 'em.
That appearance at Knebworth (Stones gig) - just great!!!!!

| Obviously this is a very popular notes file, ie four years
since anyone made an update.
Contrary to popular belief, Lynyrd Skynyrd are STILL making
music, even after the aircrash of Oct 21st 1977, several car
crashes and alot of pain.
The band released a new album at the tail end of last year
and called it, (in order to avoid confusion with previous line-
ups) ......."LYNYRD SKYNYRD 1991".
They followed this up with a whistle stop tour of Europe which
included 3 dates in London. (2 at the Town and Country club and
1 at the Hammersmith Odeon on February 29th.
That must be some kind of record ie:- fifteen years between gigs
on British soil. Still, the Hammersmith was full of ageing long
haired people (some rapidly balding) most of whom seemed to
remember most of the words.
Hopefully it won't be another fifteen years before we get the
chance to see them again.
Davie.
