Hospice Benefit ’88 brought new meaning to the phrase ’time flies when you’re having fun.†It may have been the quickest five hours of my life.
No sooner had Rocco Marshall and Vision performed its opening song, “I Was Born to Rock,†than members of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band were cranking out the last screaming chords of “Free Bird.â€
In between, a sold-out crowd of 2,600 at the Moroccor Temple Friday night heard performances by members of the Rossington Collins/Allen Collins Band, the Muscle Shoals Horns, the Artimus Pyle Band, the Roosters and Dave Hlubek. Cindy Reinoehl, a rock ‘n’ roll music fan who dies of cancer at Methodist Hospital Hospice in 1986, was the inspiration for the concert. Organizers estimate as much as $30,000 was raised for Hospice.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd finale features former band members Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson and Artimus Pyle along with Johnny Van Zant, Randall Hall and Carol Bristow of the Tribute Band. Other players filtered on and off the stage, grabbing guitars and coming up to the microphone during a set that included such favorites as “I Know a Little,†“What’s Your Name,†and finished out with “Sweet Home Alabama†and, of course, “Free Bird.â€
“Call Me the Breeze†was Skynyrd music at its best. It frolicked all about the stage with Hall and Powell grabbing solos and the horn section pumping out the song’s energy. Jacksonville picker Jimmy Sexton also took a turn soloing during the lengthy tune.
The alumni from the Rossington Collins/Allen Collins Band were a perfect opener for the Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute members. Highlights included “Prime Time,†“Ready to Move†and “Don’t Misunderstand Me.â€
Barry Lee Harwood’s guitar work was a standout, as was his treatment of the Allen Collins Band song “This Ride’s on Me.â€
Folks, most of this material is more than 10 years old, yet every song sounded fresh. The death knell for Southern Rock is a tune which isn’t ready to be played.
