Is this the greatest live album ever? no ,is it the greatest Skynyrd live album ever?,no, what it is, is a damn fine tribute to the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Essentially recorded as a tribute/30th anniversary of the the plane crash in '77 this a a respectful rather than balls to the wall performance and is all the better for it.
Opening in laid back style with 'Travelin Man' the scene is set,with flashbacks of 'Ronnie' on the screen before ambling into 'Workin' the band sedately taking to the stage rather than the passion in days gone by.
The crowd stirs when the double whammmy of 'Whats Your Name/That Smell' raises the stakes before a superb 'Simple Man' takes you back to the early days.
Next up a medley of sorts 'Down south Jukin,Needle n Spoon,Ballad of Curtis Loew,Gimme Back My Bullets before a mesmerising version of Tuesdays Gone rounds this part of the show off,Billy Powells keyboard playing on Tuesdays Gone,simply superb.
Next the only other 'Modern' Skynyrd song 'Red.White & Blue'.it didnt work for me originally and it still dont,it seems out of place at this part of the concert,maybe better as an encore,who knows but its the weakest moment.
The concert then heads for home with 4 absolute classics,'Gimme 3 Steps','Call Me The Breeze','Sweet Home Alabama' and the obligatory 'Freebird',no matter how many versions i have i never tire of these tracks.
The sound quality is pretty good,would have liked the drums/Bass a little higher,but the guitars and especially the keyboards are fantastic while Johhny's vocals excellent as ever.
As a tribute to the departed members and especially those recently gone ,Billy Powell(RIP) and Ean Evans(RIP)this is excellent.A word too for Mark Matejka who puts in a sterling performance replacing Hughie Thomason(RIP) but the star of the show is Ricky Medlocke,while Gary Rossington seems content to stay in the background,Medlocke relishes his role as lead guitarist and plays some fine solos especially on 'Needle....' & 'Freebird'.
The dvd is essentially the same as the disc with a small intro piece with Johhny,Gary & Ricky talkin about the band,the dvd is well shot and captures the performance,a performance that shows Skynyrd gracefully accepting heritage status and ensuring the Freebird carries on,its a mark of their professionalism that the band appear to be playing as if to an intimate crowd despite the huge audience in attendance,both parties celebrating together.
The packaging is spartan,nothing to write home about but at this price its an absolute bargain and should be picked up immediately

I have to agree with other reviewers, there is nothing here that has not been seen or heard on other Lynyrd Skynyrd dvd's /cd's, but the picture quality and production on the dvd took my breath away.
I have never seen such vivid colours and heard such good sound on a live concert dvd before.This dvd would definitely be worth the money for the picture & sound quality.

Sometime ago now I purchased the Greatest Hits set by this band, since then it's consistently been played, every track is worth hearing again and again,then came a concert DVD,once again top of the drawer pure southern rock.Now comes this double set CD/DVD live in Kentucky home state of Mohammed Ali.Fifteen tracks by a great band doing their thing and doing it so well.This is not sophisticated rock this is the real deal.A band that quickly sold out UK dates last year thirty odd years on the road ,years of great albums and numerous concert releases.Fifteen tracks here will get any party going, this is live rock at it's finest by a band that get every gig into party mode and if you've as yet not got into the music of Lynyrd Skynyyrd here's a great place to start.Recorded in 2007 but only just released in 2010 don't let that bother you because this is very must a greatest hits and favourites live, but you also realize what a loss Bill Powell their keyboard man who died last year has been. Think of songs like 'Sweet Home Alabama', the favourite of so many and still sounding as good as the day it was first released 'Free Bird', to the wonderfully slide guitar lead 'Ballad Of Curtis Lowe', the rockin' 'Down South Junkin' J J Cale's 'Call Me The Breeze' probably the best version outside of Cale's own, to songs like 'What's Your Name', 'Gimme Three Steps', 'Workin','Travellin' Man' and the very American patriotic anthem 'Red,White And Blue'.The DVD is the full length of the concert the disc 15 tracks of Skynyrd live from the same gig.You need to see and hear this band to really enjoy the music and atmosphere of seeing them best in a live setting.
Get on board and enjoy the ride with one of rocks most enjoyable and greatest exponents doing what they do best...ROCKIN' THE PLACE' KENTUCKY HAD QUITE A NIGHT AND HERE RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SHARE THAT EXPERIENCE, great stuff !

Not the band of old
I am a long time fan of the original band and if you are too I'd stay away from this release. Great songs played poorly on what is a sub-standard live album. Read more

Skynyrd at Freedom Hall
If you love Skynyrd, you'll love this. Especially if you been to a Skynyrd concert.

...a peculiar one...
Well this is an odd one. You would have thought that the follow-up to last years rather splendid "God & Guns" might have been a live recording from that tour, to act as a souvenir... Read more
