Still remember being in sophomore geometry when I heard about the plane crash.

As you probably know, they changed the album cover for "Street Survivors" after the plane crash. The original cover had the fire in the background and Stevie Gaines was engulfed in part of the flame. He died in the plane crash, so the album cover was changed out of respect for him and his family.

I actually have the album on vinyl with the original cover.

The music still lives on, just like other bands which have replaced members.

Did you ever see the documentary about the band on Netflix, 'If I Leave Here Tomorrow'?
Was much better than I expected, apparently there wasn't really any animosity between Van Zandt and Neil

Changed my perception of the band, not just a bunch of red necks, they worked their asses off and Ronnie Van Zant was the vision guy

I haven’t, but I’ll wait in line for when Floyd is done with it. I hope he doesn’t take forever and remembers to rewind.

Friend was into film class in HS. Talked a few of us into helping him make a spoof of Barreta he named "Barrito" for a class project. Was fun as hell shot at nearby locations tOfficial 2023 Celebrity/Notable Deaths Thread - Page 5 502811600

Was that the one with the Hell Shack (?) that they used as a studio. That was good. I saw another one a few years ago on a cable channel that went through all the band different band members tOfficial 2023 Celebrity/Notable Deaths Thread - Page 5 1550444538

Last night I watched the first 1/2 of the one mentioned by I.B. and Hell Shack is featured a lot. Gotta finish it tonight.
