Lynyrd Skynyrd on tour - worth seeing?

[whirligig]

I understand they are touring in the UK in May.

Now many moons ago they were one of my all time favourite groups and I still listen to most of their stuff on a regular basis. But given that half the original line-up have shuffled off this mortal coil d'you think they're worth going to see live?

Weren't they all killed bar one in a plane or car crash?

I saw them 3 or 4 times at Hammersmith in the 70s. Bloody great they were too.

I still play 'Poison Whisky' from time to time.
