Notes:
Although usually not credited on this gig, Ed King would leave the band during the tour late May of 1975, so he actually would be on this recording. I could not find a date for Skynyrd playing the LA Forum in 1975 for the Nuthin' Fancy Tour (it was a quick search I bet one of you know it though).

Original drummer Bob Burns passed away in 2015 leaving no "original" members alive after Gary Rossington passed away in 2023. Rosebud and I have stopped supporting the band touring as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Our last time seeing Skynyrd was the year before Billy Powell passed away. Just my opinion now but I would rather see Rickey Medlocke return to Blackfoot and Johnny Van Zant tour with a revamped Johnny Van Zant Band. I know Rickey Medlocke played drums for Skynyrd in the early days but is not a "classic line up" member.

Sorry but this bands touring without any original members thing came up when a friend told me that the band WAR would be playing Detroit this summer. When I explained that someone other than the original band WAR owns the name and has a line up of musicians that were never in WAR but talk like they were old members when on stage. If you want to see the real band formerly called WAR go see the band LOW RIDERS. That is the name of the band formerly called WAR and they kick ass. I went to a show that was Dr. Hook, The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Dr. Hook was just Ray Sawyer with a backing band. The Guess Who had only the original bassist. Bachman-Turner Overdrive was actually Tim Bachman's BTO with Tim being the only person who had ever been in BTO. It was cool to hear the Tim Bachman BTO songs like "I Don't Have To Hide" but I did feel cheated.
