Hey one of the worst days in my life, I was a senior in high school and my yearbook quote was about the crash. Miss the real band.

Brother, thanks for this great video here, I have a hard time thinking about all the years gone by, I first saw Skynyrd at Funocchio's Bar in Atlanta, I was 18 years old, I lived in Jonesboro Georgia, just across the train tracks, the very next day after the show in Atlanta, there was a Lot of Commotion going on , on Main ST. in Jonesboro, nothing ever happened there, so i went to investigate, Skynyrd was doing the photo shoot for the Pronounced Album, I realized this was the Band I saw last night in Atlanta, I stood over by the Train Station and watched the whole thing, a few hours, I loved that Music so much, I knew that Skynyrd WAS MY BAND, This Music that they made will be heard forever, as long as People can Hear, R.I.P. To All, Cousin Figel

I was 16 when the plane crashed. For dome reason the anniversary bummed me out more this year. I guess its just hard to believe its been that long and we’re all getting old now. Skynyrd sure was something special. I can’t really put my feelings into words. Thanks for sharing

A lot of love for that crash site, really awesome. A comment and thumbs up for the KZfaq algorithm!

finally got to watch this....very glad ya'll made the trip. would like to go with ya'll next year if time permits. sounds like ya'll had a nice time too. great turnout.....and kudos to whoever sent the cookbook. I know Terri will enjoy it.

Your story of the crash has really stuck with me and I think about it often thank you so much for sharing it with us. I am a big Skynyrd fan and I LOVE all their music old and new. I've been watching your channel pretty much since you started and I love your stories. I started in Indiana and now I'm in Florida and I love it NO COLD WINTER!!! I've never meet you in person but I feel like you are a good friend. Keep on keepin on my friend!!!!!

Hi Mark this was a nice day was great to meet you after all these videos I have watched I hope to meet Terri Next year , sounds like a very good cook book wasnt me ..haha ..great pictures love the red coffee cup .give Walter a bite of that English muffin it looks so good. Stay safe .

Thanks for sharing Mark - take care man -

I live about 7 miles from JoJo Billingsleys grave. Her ashes are buried on top of her mother and fathers grave in her hometown of Senatobia,Mississippi. Her father ran the cattle auction house in Senatobia for many years.

It was such an honor to be there & meet such awesome folks! Mark & Terri much love to you both!

Thank you for making us a part of this I would LOVE to go there although it would be a heartbreaking reminder but with your pictures I kind of felt like I was there thank you!

Definitely on my bucket list! Huge Skynyrd fan. Can't believe it has been 45 yrs. My mom died 2 mos before the crash so 1977 not a great yr for me. Thx as always Mark! God Bless

Hey Mark, just found your channel and really appreciate your videos and showing us the monument I am a long time fan in Australia, such an amazing life you have led God bless you and your family ❤ 🙏

Thanks Mark for sharing. 45 years. Where does the time go? Keep well, brother. Much Love.❤🇮🇪🍀

Very Cool! Great to see you again!

Mark, I’m going to visit the memorial during my next bike ride to Daytona from Texas this coming February. As a playing musician, I’ll be humbled to be at such a sacred place for us folks that grew up with LS in our formative years. Keep the videos coming! 🎸🎸

Thanks for posting this as I was pretty sure you would be in attendance. Guarantee I was aware of the date and as usual for the past 45 years decided not to let anything bother me and had a good day. God Bless and Keep rocking to great music.

I'm hispanic and I don't mind the confederate flag tbh, actually there was a high ranking hispanic colonel in the confederate army, Ambrosio Gonzales. You guys raise your flag and I'll raise mine ✌🇲🇽

Thank you once again. I hope to make it there next time I go down that way. Keep up the good videos.

God bless ya all thanks Mark 😊 🙏

Mark, thank you for sharing this. So glad you went. This touched my heart. Say hey to Nipper, Teri and Walter for me. One day I hope to get down there. Kat

God Bless You Mark! A big shout out to Mr Gene Odom! I can't even imagine how emotional that night had to be. I listen to Skynyrd every day. That wonderful music will live on forever! Hopefully one day I can make it there to Mississippi to see that beautiful Memorial!

Hey Mark you got me tearin up talkin about Gene I know exactly how he feels o lost my best buddy in 88 we were childhood friends grew up on Skynyrd not a day goes by that something in that day reminds me of him after a brief sadness though comes all the great times we had together always enjoy your videos bro ✌

Hey man! Good to hear from ya

I’m glad that you made it because I remember you saying a while ago that you didn’t know if you’d be able to afford to go. I was planning on going the entire year and right before I would’ve had to leave to get there from Pennsylvania I was strapping a load down on a trailer and one of the chain binders popped up after I pulled it down and it smashed me a good one just above my eye and split my eyebrow open pretty good so I had to get stitches and it swelled my eye shut and I wasn’t going to try and drive all the way there with one eye and running a half a day behind so I couldn’t go. I was really looking forward to meeting you and Gene Odom but hopefully I’ll get another chance. Thanks for sharing your experience at the 45th anniversary of the accident. As usual I really enjoyed your video.

man that was awesome... thanks for taking me to 45th reunion, sad

Great video man!

Definitely on my bucket list

Love your stories did you ever work with Heart keep up the awesome work.

Be Proud of our SOUTHERN FLAG, the CROSS of St Andrew, apostle of JESUS CHRIST!!!! Our boys led the way in flying our flag at every concert. 1974 summer--Liberty Bowl, Memphis TN--Foghat, then our boys, then Clapton. Our flags flying all over while they came out and BLEW EVERYONE AWAY!!!!! John 3.3, 33-34-

I was 16 years old when it happened, one of the saddest days of my life. I can't believe it's been that long.

Ronnie Van Zant is my musical hero that man is a legend and my dad saw them at Rupp arena in Lexington Kentucky in 1977

Me and Carol Wert were there August 8th 2022 we got to sign the Monument 📙 book. Met Mike McDaniel and Dwaine Easley.

Absolutely terrible...we all cried!

5:30: Love it.

I turned 15 on the day Street Survivors was released OCT, 17, 1977. Three days later, heartbreak. I am 60 today and I still can't watch anything on LS without shedding a tear. I wish you well Mark. You and Gene are the only ones I listen to to get the truth on LS. Tommy can't stop lying.

Much respect Mark. Did anyone walk over to the crash site? Is it off Limits? Thanks, Kenny

R.I.P. 🙏🙏🙏

I bet the Lynyrd Skynyrd Fans that meet You feel like they’re speaking to the President of the United States! I know I would!

👍👍👍👍👍

Still Only 1 of me…. Lol😂

My Aspen wanted to kill every living dog on the planet, it was frustrating .

LS lives forever
