Tuesday's gone

was just listening "take three steps" yesterday.
Sad news, only one left. RIP Billy

A sad day indeed

"Ramblin' Man"

3 Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Free Bird"

4 The Marshall Tucker Band
"Can't You See"

5 The Charlie Daniels Band
"The Devil Went Down to Georgia"

6 The Allman Brothers Band
"Midnight Rider"

7 Hank Williams, Jr.
"All My Rowdy Friends Are Comin' Over Tonight"

8 Little Feat
"Dixie Chicken"

9 .38 Special
"Hold On Loosely"

10 Elvin Bishop
"Fooled Around and Fell in Love"

11 Wet Willie
"Keep On Smilin'"

12 Molly Hatchet
"Flirtin' With Disaster"

13 The Georgia Satellites
"Keep Your Hands to Yourself"

14 Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Gimme Three Steps"

15 The Ozark Mountain Daredevils
"If You Wanna Get to Heaven"

16 Blackfoot
"Train, Train"

17 The Marshall Tucker Band
"Heard It in a Love Song"

18 The Outlaws
"Green Grass & High Tides"

19 The Charlie Daniels Band
"The South's Gonna Do It Again"

20 Gregg Allman
"I'm No Angel"

"I Wanna Come Home,
It's Been So Long Since I been Away
And Please
Don't Blame Me Cause I Tried
I'll Be Comin' Home Soon To Your Love
To Stay"

You Are Home Now, Billy Powell.

Oh my - thanks for posting

Who can ever forget Ronny Van Zandt's famous line during the live version of Free Bird "Billy Powell on the piano - Billy Powell"

RIP Billy

When was young,my uncle was a city councilman in a small(at that time)community near Atlanta. He recieved 3 tickets for all three nights when they recorded "One more from the road" at the Fox theater.I was the lucky nephew that got the tickets. By far the best concert(s) I ever saw.I also got to see the Rossington Collins band in the Fox theater after the tragedy and they did Free Bird with no vocals except "Play it pretty for Atlanta" Not a dry eye in the house. Rest in Peace Billy and say hello to the boys for us all.

RZ1 That is one heck of list for a long road trip. What great driving music!

lodi, I saw the RCB on their first tour, too, in Gainesville, Georgia. Stage went black, then after the crowd was in a frenzy (knowing what was coming as the encore), a single spotlight hit a mic at center stage - where Ronnie would have been standing - and then the music started.......wow. I will never forget that moment......
