They played here in Jacksonville a few years ago and the hype was crazy............for a Cover Band. They have ONE member from the original group, Gary Rossington, (And HE is in crappy health these days) I have personally met Johnnie Van Zant. SUPER SUPER cool guy! But he just ain't Ronnie Van Zant.
My Wife went to see Little River Band about 4-5 years ago and the same thing....Just ONE original member. Journey without Steve Perry is NOT Journey IMO. Heck! As much as I LOOOOVE Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac is not the same without Lindsey Buckingham.
