In November, a procession of classic rock and country acts stormed the Fox Theatre to pay tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The show, “Lynyrd Skynyrd – One More for the Fans!”, was filmed and will soon receive a CD/DVD release.

With a lineup featuring Cheap Trick, Gregg Allman, Alabama, Trace Adkins, John Hiatt, Warren Haynes, Blackberry Smoke, O.A.R., Jason Isbell and more, as well as a house band anchored by Don Was, the concert was a robust homage to the Southern rock behemoths, who took the stage at show's end.

The track list and album art for “One More for the Fans!” is also expected to be announced soon.

Here’s a recap of the concert if you weren’t able to witness it live.
