The all-star Southern rock and country tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd last fall at the Fox Theatre will bow on CD and DVD this summer.
“Lynyrd Skynyrd: One More for the Fans,” will arrive as a double-disc set on July 24. The event will also debut on AXS TV at 8 p.m. July 19.
The mega-concert, which featured Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, Alabama, Gregg Allman, Charlie Daniels, John Hiatt, Jason Isbell, Trace Adkins, Blackberry Smoke and about a dozen other artists performing Skynyrd classics, was a worthy tribute to a band whose influence is rampant.
The finale of the show, which will be included on the CD/DVD release, found Lynyrd Skynyrd romping through “Travelin’ Man” (with Johnny Van Zant singing along with video of his late brother, Ronnie), “Freebird” and an all-star rendition of “Sweet Home Alabama.”
Skynyrd’s history at the Fox Theatre is legendary, as the band recorded its 1976 live album, “One More From the Road,” at the venue to aid in the campaign to save the theater from demolition. A June 7 block party at the Fox will celebrate the 40th anniversary of those efforts.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, meanwhile, hits the road later this month for a summer tour that includesa June 19 stop at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta as part of Kicks Country/Rock 100.5's "Crockfest."
