Lynyrd Skynyrd Celebrates 50 Years at The Ryman Auditorium

On November 13, 2022, legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd celebrated an incredible 50 years of music with a special concert at Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium. This historic performance marked a poignant moment as it would be the last concert featuring Gary Rossington, the final original founding member of the band, who passed away on March 5, 2023, at the age of 71.

The concert was filmed for a PBS television special, which was later released in theaters and is now available for streaming. The special highlights the band’s immense impact on the music world, with the program noting their ability to “create a lifestyle” through their fusion of blues rock and Southern hard rock swagger.
