RIP JJ Cale.

Ronnie and the boys knew a thing or two about JJ and Darryl and the boys do too.

We took my DD(14) to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert last night here in NH. They put on a great show. My dd is a musician and a huge music fan. I'd love to take her down to see Southbound and Co at WDW sometime.

Southbound and Co. sounds like the name of an Allman Brothers tribute band. There is another LS tribute band called Street Survivor that is more aptly named. But really, these tribute bands do nothing for me, and Freebird, Sweet Home Alabama, etc, have been ruined by classic radio.

Either way, a rock concert at Disney is like a Vaudeville act at a church bazaar! A little tame to say the least.

Awesome!

It is such a shame that the tragic events of October 20,1977 happened.

The addition of Steve Gaines had given the band new energy and they were on the brink of superstardom.

All indications are that Southbound will be back at WDW next Summer,but we will have to wait until an announcement to know for sure.

It's pretty cool to hear Free Bird twice a night for 7 nights while sitting in Epcot!

The 1200 people or so at tonight's final set of Sounds like Summer would disagree with you.

I just wanted to give a shout out to The Honkettes!

These lovely ladies added SO much to the shows!

Ladies,the shows would not have been the same without you!

If "tame" means that no one was smoking weed back on row 33, or not a single drunken patron was puking in front of the stage, or the band didn't scream a single obscenity, then I suppose you're right. If however, tame means mediocre music by disinterested musicians, then you're way off. Southbound & Company puts on an awesome show.

That is so true!

We were in Row 32!(JUST KIDDING!)

I was at all 21 shows -- I didn't hear any complaints

Has there been a thread started for the F&W concerts yet?

Here is a great interview with Darryl.

Hopefully they will be announcing they are coming to SLS 2014.

They had already announced for SLS 2013 by this time last year,so I hope that's not a bad sign.

Although I was given the info several months ago, I had it confirmed for me today that Southbound, indeed, will not be back.

As good as they were, the audience numbers were just too low. And that's what drove the decision by Disney.

Gonna miss 'em.

Thanks for the info.

That's really a bummer.

Any idea who will get their slot?
