Lynard Skynard and free bird would not be with Alan Collins and after Ed King left Steve Gaines got them back on track and brought their inspiration back!! I love this band so much and all these guys. I’ve watched every movie every documentary and every and anything you can watch on KZfaq on all of Lynard Skynard. Truly amazing they all were.

Love to watch the offerings showing Allen & Steve playing (my favorite is concert @ Knebworth, 1976, with Allen in red) on Rollin Stones tongue. It’s my understanding that Stones had told LS band that NOONE was to go out on tongue during concert. That was reserved for the Stones. Of course, Ronnie made all guitars (some of electrical cords wouldn’t reach all way) come out on tongue. What a performance!!!! Amazing!!!! They usually always played wonderful, but this performance is especially moving!!!! (Knebworth, England, 1976)

Allen was at least half of the soul of the band. You can easily hear this in his solo album. Those songs have depth. The modern Skynyrd band never had depth. Almost all of their songs are garbage. The modern band may have written five songs that I can stomach if that many.

I was fortunate enough to see him play a few days before the crash, in Lakeland, Florida, and then several years later in Rossington Collins in Daytona. He was an awesome guitarist and showman!

The crash wasn’t far from where we were watching the game. It happened on Plummer Grant Rd. In the Mandarin area of Jacksonville, not far from Allen’s home. So sad, so tragic. He was a superb guitarist. I hope he finally found peace on January 23, 1990.

The part where Ronnie first recruited Allen is different than any other I have heard. I was always told that Ronnie and Gary (or may have been Burns) knew Allen had a guitar and amp and could play well. They went to his home and they encounter Allen riding his bike. Ronnie had a reputation as a fighter and that scared Allen. He thought they had come to beat him up, so he raced home and climbed a tree. Not sure what to believe, but that has always been the story I got.

Learned that at the Jug when Ronnie pulled his pistol on me and Gary stepped up to Ronnie and said quit and put that away...that's where "Hey Mr. didn't mean to kiss her", came from... Yup Gary saved my buttons so I promised Ronnie I'd write him a song he couldn't refuse...and then we'd be friends...It was Sweet Home...And noEd King didn't originate it... but, he stole the part because he actually played it better than me at the time...And he had just got back from recording in Tennessee...which you probably already know...Just as well... being I was under a government contract at the time...No way I could have toured...but was offered three years later ...

This World is not Conclusion is the first line and title of an Emily Dickinson poem. She was born in Amherst Massachusetts. She is the most famous female poet in the English Language. Only about 8 of her poems were published during her lifetime. You should read about her. I have her photo on my wall and I have a cartoon image of her that is on a poster. I had the poster made from the art that came on a t-shirt series. The other poem on the bench was of course written by Charlie Daniels, A brief candle, both ends burning, and endless mile, a bus wheel turning. And that is from memory so don't quote me.

An honest/true to the actual story (as best can be gathered), major motion biopic needs to be made about this legendary band.

Allen is resting at the cemetery just inside the I-295 beltway on Normandy Blvd. in Jacksonville Florida. Heading east from the beltway his grave is in the cemetery on the left. Ronnie’s and Leon’s graves are in the cemetery on the right. Just as you enter the graveyard from the funeral home parking lot you can easily see Leon’s headstone. It’s really hard to miss it. It’s a big black headstone with his full body figure holding a bass. If you stand at Leon’s grave with your back to it you will see Ronnie’s grave alongside his parents graves. Ronnie’s grave is obscure and plain compared to Leon’s. Only a hardcore fan will know that Ronald Wayne Van Zant is the Ronnie Van Zant.

Enjoyed this as a Skynyrd fan, but the background music throughout is distracting as heck from the commentary...it needed to be toned way down!

Yes I agree. It was our first mix and just wish it could be fixed now but too late.

Holy shit are you right! That was unwatchable for me. If I got the narrarator loud enough the music would bury him and shake my TV seakers.

I saw Rossington Collins Band when they played Freebird with just a spot light pointing to where Ronny used to stand at the mic. So sad that he couldn't play on reunion tour in 87... Fly high Allen Collins you are free now !

Thank so so much for doing this on Allen C.....my alltime fave guitarist. I think, the most charismatic of Skynyrd. Did you know him? What kind of a guy was he. I saw him live in 76 77. No one could play FREE BIRD like him, afterall, Collins wrote it! More please!!!! You rock, my friend

Oh yeah man. I remember Rossington-Collins. They played many times at PB Scotts in Blowing Rock NC near my hometown of Boone NC. Talk about legendary times. PB Scotts had many huge stars performing there. Leon Russell, Arlo Guthrie, Dixie Dreggs, Molly Hatchet, just to name a few. PB Scotts was eventually reduced to crap. They began having male dancers/stripers like Chippendales and stuff like that and finally closed altogether. What a shame. A real shame. Rest in Peace Allen Collins. You were good. 🎸🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 Mike Pardue

So sorry that he left us so young....the band that left ahead of him needed a guitar player. Apparently Stevie Gaines wasn't enough. The good Lord pulled him home. Rest in peace Allen. We'll all see you again one day!
