Saw them in August. Wasn't a great show, but I'd bet they'd rock if they came up with some new material.
Leon Wilkeson died in 2002 IIRC

RIP Ean......... | Gary is the only original memeber IN the band. Ed King (guitar, wrote Sweet Home Alabama), Bob Burns (drums), and Artimus Pyle (Drums) are three original members still alive but not in the band.

Seriously, the Skynyrd bandmates are at that age where natural causes finally comes into play.
