At the conference I’m attending the closing event featured performances by Snoop Dogg and Lynyrd Skynyrd (not together). Snoop isn’t my thing but seeing Skynyrd live is almost a spiritual experience, especially with the way they handle Freebird (with video of Ronny Van Zant singing the second verse while his hat is placed on a microphone stand. There’s only one original member left, plus Ronny’s younger brother, but they still sound great.
