You can buy a ticket to see some of the biggest bands in 'Southern rock'. But what are you really seeing when you go to one of their shows?
Guitarist Gary Rossington has been sidelined due to health issues, so if you go to a Lynyrd Skynyrd show, you are likely going to see none of the musicians who played on the band’s best-known songs. There are no original members left in Molly Hatchet or Blackfoot, either. Guitarist/singer Don Barnes is the sole original member still playing with .38 Special.
That’s not to say the acts are terrible or that they are pale imitations of the originals. Johnny Van Zant has been singing with Lynyrd Skynyrd for 35 years, far longer than his later brother Ronnie ever did, and the band is still a big draw on the road. When they start playing"Gimme Three Steps" or"Call Me the Breeze," youBarnes leads a tight, well-rehearsed version of .38 Special that still sounds very much like .38 Special.
Blackfoot, which was led by current Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Rickey Medlocke back in the day, is now a five-piece band out of South Carolina “chosen by Rickey Medlocke and the Blackfoot team.” The band has just two shows listed on the tour schedule on its website.It’s a rock ‘n’ roll version of the classic Ship of Theseus thought exercise, in which a beloved Greek ship saw all of its timbers replaced over the years, leaving people to wonder if it was still actually the same vessel.
