Lynyrd Skynyrd - Transmission Impossible (2021)

TRIPLE CD SET FEATURING THE FINEST BROADCAST RECORDINGS AVAILABLE Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, and Gary Rossington had been playing together since 1964 under various names, but in 1970 they became Lynyrd Skynyrd, and so began one of the most dynamic albeit tragic music careers in the annals of rock music. Crafting a distinctive southern sound through a creative blend of country, blues, and a British rock influence, the group became incredibly popular through the 1970s and it was only the tragic events of autumn 1977- that do not need repeating here - which stopped their onward march through the music biz. This 3CD Set celebrates the quite awesome music and performances that Lynyrd Skynyrd made and undertook during their time together, and features 3 superb radio broadcasts of live performances they played across the years. Disc One includes a show Skynyrd gave in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in March 1975, while Disc Two contains a concert they performed later the same year in Cardiff, Wales, which was recorded for broadcast on the King Biscuit network. The set concludes on Disc Three with a post-air crash show - one of the first the remaining members performed - at what was named the Superstar Jam, a charity show arranged by Charlie Daniels, at which the group performed with a number of other friends and musicians, who together put on a very impressive and now somewhat legendary show. Packaged elegantly in a fold-out 6 panel digipak, this excellent box set is sure to become a live collection that every Lynyrd fan will want to add to their library.
