Street Survivors

@Saturday Night Special: My album is in excellent condition. I just want to know its worth. I could not sell it though. too many memories.

I have this album with the flames also. I have the newspaper article of the plane crash too. I could not believe my favorite all time band had went down in the swamp so close to where they were going. Ronnies music was the best ever. He knew how to write it like it was. I still listen to all of the old songs and I love the new ones too. I will see LS in August 2010 for sure at the Gwinnett Center.

ha i was wondering about the lynyrd skynyrd record with the flams on it. is there somthing special about it. y dont the other street records have them. and if so i found one and want to pick it up. right back at brotherbear82505@ yahoo.com

A friend had got me the Street Survivors album for my birthday. What a tragedy. It is funny, I never felt that connected to any band before. I was lucky to see them back in the mid 70's. However they were pretty good in the mid nineties and in 2003. What a great show they put on.i will come back after 642-524 exams and join you.

Amen to that mine has the concert sheet and I've turned down several hundred dollars for it, it's priceless as for as I'm concerned.
We were in the orcastra box at the show in vegas in august and never had a better time at a concert about 6' from the stage got shot with some kind of florecent stuff.
I was lucky enough to get an album out of the first box opened at one of the record stores in vegas, but the best luck I had was getting to see them.
Vegas was a weird place to go to a concert, the people sat around never getting up and clapped like they were at an opera.
I've been a Skynard fan since high school and at 51 still think they are the greatest.
Long live Skynard Nation

Depends on what condition it's in. Money wise not that much,but to a true Skynyrd fan it ca'nt be bought! Mine has the original concert sheet inside and would'nt trade it for anything!

I have this album but the cover has flames in the back round,wondering if any one knows what it might be worth.

Over the years I must have played I know a little hundreds and hundreds of times. It took me months of three of four hours a night to get it polished. What a fun song to play! After 30 years I still enjoy playing this music. No other band has stayed with me this long. I play piano and guitar and out of all of the performers I have tried to sound like, Billy Powell is one of them. I was lucky to play guitar and piano on dozens of these songs. So very much fun. After all of years that have passed nothing makes me feel better than when I hear music from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I still move my feet because it is great stuff. My kids love it. What can you say when the music take generation after generation. It is simply the best and will be remembered like the great bands decades in the future. I don't care who you are, if you can't move your feet to this music, you are deaf or not with us. I would like to know all of the particulars on the song, I know a little if anyone knows them. How it came about and who came up with the great riffs. I learned them on the guitar and on the piano so I could perform the twins regardless of what I was playing. It was really fun for me. I must admit I spent a lot of time on this song getting the guitar and piano parts right. I know a little and another song by the Outlaws back in the 70s took a lot of time to get the twins down right because they were so fast. Ah, but what fun it was once we got them down.

This has to be one of my all time favorite albums. Everyone of the songs are greats and it shows just how good the song writing was going at this point. It was very hard when I heard of the plane tragedy. Loosing Ronnie, Steve and Cassie plus the injuries to the rest of the band and the losses of the other on the plane was just awful. I still remember when Bill came to practice and told me what happened. We all just sat there and stared at each other. Most of the music we loved and played was from Skynyrd. It was a just few days after my birthday in 77' when it happened. A friend had got me the Street Survivors album for my birthday. What a tragedy. It is funny, I never felt that connected to any band before. I was lucky to see them back in the mid 70's. However they were pretty good in the mid nineties and in 2003. What a great show they put on.

Now Billy is gone too, and way before his time, I wonder. How many of the people I know have left because of heart problems. I would guess it was the seventies that is putting a lot of us into an early grave. I am trying hard to stay in shape myself, but I have all kinds of problems and I am only 55. Yea, it was the seventies for sure that created all of my issues. Damn the seventies. They were fun though. Oh well, C'est la vie. I have yapped enough. I am glad to see this great web site and I am glad to see the band is still rockin! Again, if anyone can send me to a place where I can read about song particulars I would appreciate it. I know a little is such a great song and I would like to know everything there is to know about it. There are a few of them I do not know how they came about and I would like to know.

Regards,
Badmoon

"what´s your name", "that smell" and "i know a little", 3 of the greatests songs

In my opinion,this album shows Ronnie was elevating his song writing ability in both lyrical and musical catagories.It is just a real tragedy that things turned out the way they did because I think Lynyrd Skynyrd was just beginning to put out their best music.No one will ever be able to top his abilities in these two catagories.His ideas for lyrics and guitar riffs will never be matched.
