“After three or four albums, Lynyrd Skynyrd transcended the Southern-rock tag. They became one of the greatest rock & roll bands in history. They feared no one. On their very first national tour, they opened for the Who. And got encores!” says Al Kooper for Rolling Stone‘s 2013 “100 Greatest Artists of All Time” countdown.
After the devastating plane crash of 1977 that killed three of Lynryd Skynryd’s members, the world wasn’t sure if the band could continue on. Thirty-six years later, and they are as rowdy as ever, drawing crowds young and old alike.
Also, they’ve apparently been buddying up with the Pawn Stars, because we all couldn’t escape that promo commercial playing on repeat on History Channel, right?
This weekend, the band of good ‘ole Southern boys are making a stop on their tour at Jiffy Lube Live with English supergroup Bad Company, and we’ve got two pairs of Pavilion tickets to give away! In other words, dust off those lighters, Styrofoam coolers, and denim cutoffs, ladies and gentleman. Don’t try and deny it—I know you have all of those somewhere.
If you want to win the tickets, tell us in the comments below, your favorite classic Southern Rock album. My favorite has to be Brothers and Sisters by The Allman Brothers Band.
Two winners will be chosen at noon on Friday, July 12. Tickets are still available.
