One more from the road is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I'm impressed somebody remembers the piano player for Lynnard Skynard.

I guess I remember the piano player for Allman Brothers Band. Does anybody remember the bass player for Little Feat? How about the lead singer for The Climax Blues Band?

I thought 56-year-old people were all forgotten.

Waiting for Columbus is another one of those live albums from that era that just kicked ass.
