UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
N Mackay I bought this DVD three years back and the extra footage had an issue (maybe that was a PAL UK issue) but if you love Lynard Skynard tunes it's worth owning.Don't look at this DVD as a movie but a chance to slightly peak into the world of a band taken before they reached their peak.There are only 3-4 videos you could class as music videos but this is an era before that genre really existed so don't expected nicely edited music videos.What I think you will see is the insight in a band that were a phenomenon, the interviews are brief but interesting, The band's music still captivates years later, technically they remain unsurpassed in many respects.
afchick2202 Even though I only saw the last forty-five minutes of this movie on CMT, I absolutely loved it! Lynyrd Skynyrd is my all time favorite band, even though I was born eleven years after the 1977 plane crash. I was never lucky enough to see my idols Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Steve Gaines and Leon Wilkeson live, but this movie gave me the next best thing. My mother said that it is not as good as the live concerts, but she was amazed at how well kept the records were. If you are a true fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd, you will love this movie as I did. *this next one might be a spoiler* You will cry during "Freebird". You can see how inter-connected they all are. I cried for a whole half hour after I saw them play that song. You might be a little disturbed at the end, where the camera-man shows the band in the plane that took Ronnie and Steve's lives. They show the plane actually taking off on it's last flight.This is a very touching tribute to our fallen frynds.R.I.P Ronnie Van Zant*Steve Gaines*Cassie Gaines*Allen Collins*Leon Wilkeson
helpless_dancer Very good rockumentary showing some interviews but mostly footage of various concerts, most in color but some in b&w. All the bands' big hits were performed and I liked the way the camera made use of the close-up lens which allowed the viewer to catch all the action as though sitting in a front row seat. See this if you get a chance, it is hot.
vlad1917 what i like about this movie is when it ends: it doesn't continue documenting the band after the plane crash. it also contains probably the best performance of 'freebird' i've ever seen...which alone is worth seeing this movie for. even non-fans can appreciate this.
