It's hard to imagine a world without the purveyors of southern rock, the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd. But alas, all good things must come to an end at some point, and the "Free Bird" rockers are milking their end currently on their Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour.
The tour started this spring and has dates well into 2019, and more will probably get announced along the way. In a candid interview with Fox, Gary Rossington noted that despite health problems, this is certainly not the end for the Skynyrds.
“It takes a long time to finish a farewell tour when you’re like us, ‘cause we’ve played everywhere. There’s thousands of venues. I keep jokin’ it’d take 10 years to do the farewell tour,” he said, “But then after that, after a few years of doin’ [the farewell tour], we’re gonna do a new record. So, we won’t go away, but we won’t be touring every year like we do.”
We've heard similar sentiments from other greats like Ozzy Osbourne. Ultimately, age ain't nothing but a numba and rock 'n' roll lives on forever. So let's perk up and take a look at pertinent info we've drawn from the tour's setlists.
How long have the setlists been?
On average, 17 songs.
Most performed song of the tour?
"What's Your Name," followed by "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird."
What track do they open with?
Mostly with "Workin' for MCA," but sometimes "Skynyrd Nation."
How about closing tracks?
"Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird."
Do they slang out any covers?
Just "Call Me the Breeze" by the late and great J.J. Cale.
Have all the setlists been the same?
Lynyrd Skynyrd have kept their setlists consistent, but as any good band would do, they have no problems changing things up a bit at each gig. Check out their setlist from November 10th in Louisville, Kentucky below.
What deep cuts have they unleashed so far?
Some concerts got to hear songs like "Double Trouble," "Down South Junkie," and "You Got That Right."
