Thank you for watching! I have a follow up to this you will see in a couple weeks with Gene, and two more survivors of the crash who were roadies with the band, which will also include lots of home movie footage and crash footage..
Outstanding Jordan! Is it two weeks yet ?😜
Wow! Excited to see what's to come, Jordan! I love seeing this through your lens
Great video Jordan can’t wait to see what comes next I was actually at the actual spot where the plane actually landed or should I say crashed back in 1987 when you could get back to it before the previous owner of that land has it now you could sneak back there there is a tree called free bird tree and it has many names and carvings on the tree I don’t think anybody’s allowed back there anymore because you’ll probably get shot buy the new owners but it was one hell of an experience for me some thing I will never forget and I hope they do not ever tear that tree down
@@edwardhenry3158 I'd love to see that
Thank you for posting this. I can’t believe Artemis is such a big liar. I can’t watch his movie the same way ever again.
Also big thanks to Gene for bringing the responders with him today. That was a surprise to me! I had no idea he arranged to have them there
I’ve never heard anybody mention whether or not the flight crew was their regular crew or did it changed with each leg of the tour?
I heard an interview with Aerosmith,(I think), who claimed they used that plane just before Lynyrd Skynyrd but made the record company lease a new one because they were too scared of it.
I really like Gene. He always tells the truth about what happened. I'm glad to see the people who recused the survivor there also. It's heartbreaking what happened to all of them and I'm sorry that some of them lost their lives. It's a miracle for the one's that did survive. I'm glad they finally have a memorial there for them. It's sad, but beautiful. Thank you Jordan for sharing this with us. 🕊
How is jah
@@bonniebrown6960 agreed
Said it before and I'll say it again. Gene's stories never change. This is what's called the truth. Thanks Gene for helping keep the dream alive.
I've Said Same Thing! Heard Gene's Vlogs And Always Tells The Same Things! He Never Changes His Story! That Seems Truthful To Me!
I remember Genes . I actual almost bought genes because we own the Mixon Estate on Mixon Rd. That’s were my roots are. This crash put Gillsberg on the Map
What a beautiful monument to those who perished. The land owner was so nice to donate the plot of land for it. Thanks for covering this subject. My favorite song from them is Sweet Home Alabama.
Lynyrd Skynyrd monument is awesome and whoever designed it did a great job !!! 👍
I agree! And It's really cool to hear Duane say that they did the monument themselves, on their own land when the govt did want to include it with a historical status.
Gene Odom is a solid gospel truth. His stories are consistent everytime I hear them.
Great monument very nice tribute to the band rip ronnie
I’ve been to the memorial twice and I get cold chills.
"I was brain dead by before i got on the plane"....Gene😂 he's the best!
Got to see the tribute tour in Pittsburgh Pa, front row, even shook hands with Gary Rossington and Dale Krantz Rossington. Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome !
How interesting. Now to go and read up on it, and listen to some of their songs. Thank you Jordan again for bringing interesting stories.
Gene Odom and the first responders are heroes
I would love to meet Gene. He is such a great story teller. Amazing that he survived ♥️. What a great friend he is to Ronnie. To keep his memory alive and telling the truth ♥️. God Bless you Gene🙏
You’re a great interviewer and listener. Thanks for letting these people tell their stories and not interrupting them. Awesome interview ❤
Fascinating listening to the stories of the survivors and responders. The lady was so colorful and so Southern. The actual crash site is on private land and from what I've heard does not allow sightseers. Thanks for another respectful vlog
THANK-YOU ….. 🦅
Gene we love you!!! Thank you for keeping the memories of Ronnie and the band alive. The memorial is incredible. Would love to see it in person some day.❤️
That was a wonderful heart pounding vlog Jordan I love Lynyrd Skynyrd wow amazing thank you for sharing
I was sitting in a restaurant 30 miles from my house and went back home packed a bag at 2 in the afternoon I drove 600 miles south from Illinois to check that Memorial out just on a whim. Spent the night in a motel checked it out about 7 in the morning drove 600 miles back home and was glad I made the trip! Thanks for the video and thanks for the people who made that Memorial happen. I would really like to meet Gene Odom someday
Your videos are awesome Jordan thanks for these videos about my favorite southern rock band
This is a great interview. Shame the wind was so bad when he was telling his story. Still awesome. I was 17 when this happened. And we all loved Lynyrd Skynyrd Band. Thank you doing this.
Absolutely incredible video. Thank you !
Thanks Jordan and Gene and the Rescuers for your Stories of this tragic event and loss in Music History.
Hi Jordan, WOW, what a beautiful memorial. Very interesting to hear the responders memories of that awful tragedy. Great vlog Jordan.
My favorite song is "Simple Man". They were the best rock band. Thanks Jordan, you are the best!!!
Oh thank you so much Jordan
I’ve been waiting for you and Gene to show this. Beautiful. Excellent work Jordan!
Wow very interesting video! Thanks for this!
Did you know that,
The opening lyrics from "Freebird !"came from Allen Collins wife???
Her name was,
Kathy.
She asked Allen one day,
"If I leave here tomorrow,
Would you still remember me?"...
She passed away after complications during the birth of their 2nd/or 3rd child(I'm sorry not remembering exact!)...
Ronnie and Allen,
We're close too...
Somewhere down the line,
Allen told Ronnie what she said...
And that was the beginning of "Freebird!"...
Rest in Peace,
🦅🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🦅
Amazing memorial for one of my favorite bands in the world 🌎 .
Gene your a real treasure love the I boarded the plane with no brain and got of the plane with no brain funny guy just 🧡him.
A FANTASTIC memorial and Gene always told the same thing over and over, never changing. They live on in their music.
What a wonderful memorial to such a great band. Some of Ronnie's lyrics had a moral message. Like The Needle and the Spoon. Poison Whisky . Simple man. About being humble. Then there's Saturday Night Special about the worrying usage of cheap guns at the time. But they never came across as being overly preachy. Just cool songs. Had he and the others survived , they would have been massive world wide. Although the reformed band with Johnny were/are none too shabby. Thank you for bringing this poignant but interesting video x
Wow! This was really great! I didn’t know much, if anything, about the crash. Thanks, Jordan!
Just happened to see the Artemis Pyle band in Chester PA at harrah's a few yrs ago. He's still jamming. And yeah, his story has changed more then the weather as far as the infamous farmer shot incident. Lol. Thanks for the video man. Rock on.
Explained with so much clarity, truth for sure, must have been awful!
How smart it was to get that story from people who were there and have it recorded. Very interesting!
Beautiful memorial & hearing the survivor speaking with all the details of what he witnessed was so sad
Thank U for doing this video of the Crash Site Of Lynyrd Skinner. Loved hearing the person I view from Soul Survivor, Gene and the the People that lived around there to do Recovery and Land Owner. The head Stones of the deceased are Beautiful. Such a Lovely Tribute. Thank u to all that made this Possible.
This is a tremendous vlog. Congratulations to you Jordan on your incredible job with the interviews. I have always wanted to see the crash site of Lynyrd Skynyrd a band that I loved and followed.
Thanks for sharing this
I've been busy with college so I'm catching up on videos but can you just imagine surviving a place crash and then being strong enough to retell the story over and over again for years?! What an amazing dude, Gene really loves these guys
Best. Band. Ever
My brother was at their last concert here in Greenville SC. Love me some Skynyrd.
As was my cousin and some other people I know. Greenville memorial auditorium.
Yep. I live about 10 minutes from where the Old Brown Box used to be.
What a fantastic vlog my friend! One of the many tragedies in the music world and as usual you told with grace and respect. Thanks man for getting this out there. Fascinating!
That memorial really is amazing!
The memorial should state that Artemus Pyle was NOT shot!
Wish I had seen them in concert. I was going to go next time they came to Greensboro NC. I really all of Skynyrd's songs, but if I had to pick one it would have to be Simple Man. Also, like Cheaten Woman, The Hunt, That Smell, Cry For The Bad Man, The Needle And The Spoon and Working For MCA. Just wish I seen Them Live In concert!!
It was a privilege to hear these first hand testimonies. I look forward to the future Vlog with Gene.
Thank you so much Jordan - this is an important documentary.
You brought your “A” game today Jordan! Incredible work! Thanks so much!
Great video!
My friend had tickets for the Baton Rouge concert Lynyrd Skynyrd was supposed to play ... and never did. Such a sad event in music history. Gene Odem is an absolute treasure. Thank you both for sharing this painful incident with us.
Thank you for doing this Vlog. This was a real tragedy, and it was so special to hear from both of these men. What an amazing thing the land owners did. Those monuments are amazing.
Soooooo. Sad. 😥😭😥😭😥😭
Watching this late but it was really fantastic. Really great that you were able to talk with all of them and hear their perspectives on the whole thing. We're grateful to them for taking the time and grateful to you Jordan for sharing this with us.
As a long time follower, I’m so thrilled to see the opportunities you’re getting and how things are going for you. Congratulations Jordan!
It’s somewhat of a miracle that so many of them managed to survive, even with no fire.
What an awesome opportunity. Thank you.
wow drove him to the cemetery to tell him where ronnie was . sad 😔
Yeah...
That broke my heart
To a point,
A barely understand...
It was his "Best Friend!"...
They should've told him,
And took there were he rest...
at around 21:08 you can see that he forgot to take the price tag off from his shirt , lol , when he lifts his arm you can see it
I was inexplicably drawn to this vlog on 10/20, not knowing the exact anniversary date. I well remember that sad night hanging out with friends at McDonald's parking lot when we heard the news (in 11th grade). It felt unreal. We live about 60 miles from the site.
Love Ronnie Vant Zant
Beautiful monument , Remembering the lost. Bless them all. I thought one time years ago, I seen a video where some lady had a Lynyrd Skynyrd coat , she got at crash site. I'm sure there is a lot of things from plane people have, maybe parts of the plane. One thing for sure God works in mysterious ways.
That was cruel! Why couldn't she tell him he died? I could see while it was in the hospital trying to heal from his injuries, but to take him to the cemetery instead of just telling him is traumatizing. Had he been through enough?
I agree.. what a way to find out..
I thought the same thing.
Could it be..
It didn't happen? Question: why would you believe gene instead of others? Also. It seems gene saw a few dollars in( talking about) LS also! Why did he try to stop them from touring!
Love the videos with Gene!
We have another one.. its a laughing riot.. I think k I met the real Cheech and Chong the day I filmed the video with Gene to come in a couple of weeks..
Beautiful memorials ,
44 years today R.I.P.
Such a great vlog!! I’ve been looking forward to you visiting this site. Gene is such an amazing storyteller. It’s amazing how he can recall that event and of course being able to survive that tragic day
Hi Jordan. Thank you very much for this video. I was only 13..when the crashed happened. I've been following your page for a few years now..just love it..cute dog also..thank you jordan..God bless my friend..
You can listen to Artemis tell his story 20 times and every time it's a different story
Completely unrelated to Lynyrd Skynyrd, but if you grew up in the 70s and a Skynyrd fan, then you probably are familiar and have heard a story or two told by the late great Jerry Clower. He grew up just north of the crash site and lived about 15 miles away. Just a couple of days ago I went to the LS memorial and then to the East Fork community where Jerry lived and was the source of nearly all of his stories. I had a moment of silence and rememberance for him there as well as doing the same at the crash property.
Jordan I love being able to go with you on your adventures 😂😂😂😂
Someone should tell Gene that he is relevant and that relevance doesn't depend on bashing another survivor who no doubt had some kind of trauma of having to live through it and see through it. The bashing almost overshadows the loss of that day. Make it about the [ep[le who died, not ragging the people who survived.
Someone should tell Artemis to quite lying for decades.
God knows the truth... The rest of us will always have to wonder...
Hello Jordan that was a very good video that you did of LYNYRD SKYNYRD I remember the story about this plane crash even the the event happened the year I was born it was such a tragedy, I love the Memorial that did such an awesome job. Thanks again Jordan for awesome videos that you do,
Incredible Vlog today: fascinating stories told, but sad, too. This has to be one of the most beautiful monuments I’ve ever seen, just awesome. Looking forward to Part 2 soon. Thanks for such an outstanding Vlog, Jordan!
Jordan I have watched lot's of your video's. You are humble, real and have a calm soothing manner in your productions. I'm 62, have been a history buff all my life. Your information accuracy is immaculate. Other vlogger's rush to put out a lot of video's without doing proper research, which results in misinformation. Jordan you were born for this! Cheer's from East Tennessee.
Awesome Jordan,Thank You For Brining It To Us.
I traveled America on an rv staying only off road. And we stumbled across this place and it was awesome. Pretty wild that after a year of traveling and going back to Idaho I ended up moving to Greenville and live pretty close to that airport they took off from. Wild man.
This is just amazing. To hear it first hand from someone who was there AND survived! Im gonna share this w my mom who loves lynyrd skynyrd🙌💜 its a miracle there were survivors
Awesome Jordan. That was splendid. Artymus is a character.
You could say that
I was 24 years old in 1977,in Italy the band was little known but songs like freebird and Sweet Bama were very played by us musicians.for me it was a great pain and still today I play those immortal songs. I have seen 5 times the Skynyrd(cover band) of today, but the band died that damn day of 77.RIP, excuse my bad english, ciao from Italy.
I just can’t imagine what the trauma of this devastating crash has done to this man. Bless him, and everyone in the plane… 😞💔
Resting with Jesus now… 🙏
I remember when I saw Grease at the theater (I was about 15), prior to showing the movie, a short, unexpected (maybe 20 min) Lynyrd Skynyd documentary was shown. I didn't really know much about the crash and those killed prior to this, but I remember sobbing at the end of the documentary as Freebird played on through the credits. Very well done vlog.
Courtesy of Pepsi cola I do believe
@@hayleybmadiggunter6798 Interesting. I didn't remember who sponsored it. I remember being surprised by it and being highly emotional.
@@mindeem7468 the video clip you seen in 77 can be seen on here.
@@hayleybmadiggunter6798 where?
@@mindeem7468 search ( RUclips): Lynyrd skynyrd plane crash/Pepsi cola tribute. You'll find it
Free bird was a hit from day one and so were the songs too but free bird's is something special
love this segment jordan!! Hey gene!!! great band!!!! sad story 😢😞😔😪. love lynyrd skynyrd!!!!! forever!!! rock on!!! Peace ✌☮ out!!!!!
Wow. Gene really had the story to tell.. I had my tickets to the NY eve show '77, along with about my entire high school.. Wish I would have kept the ticket instead of going to see Willie N., who did the show instead.. Still have my album, the original one with the flames. Thanks for this Jordan. It was really special.
Man this is great! Thank you so much for doing these interviews.
Gene mentioned seeing the autopsy photos. Wished you would’ve had him elaborate on that. I’ve never heard him mention that before in interviews.
Great interview with these guys. Great band Man. Jeremy Johnson from Wilmington Delaware
Great job doing this Jordan, sad day in history
💋Fantastic vlog! Very interesting and beautiful monument too. Thank you and blessings. ~Love&Light♥️C.
Hey Jordan, I've been following you for a while . I'm trying to get my going. Best of luck! My Dad has cancer
Thank you so so much for this!! Can't wait for part 2 ....also love to listen to gene and everyone is right his story NEVER changes any whatsoever
Thanks much, for this incredible vlog, Mr. Jordan.
Thank you Jordan for bringing this story from the people who were actually there. Gene 's a great story teller..brain dead before he went in the hospital lolol😃
Haha
That was so respectful you did about the crash. I remember this so well, but l had never heard the real story. Ty to all involved.Gene still gets emotional talking about it. I wish him the best. I watched your other vlog where he took you to all the places, l am looking forward to the next one! Take care❤
Great vlog and beautiful memorial to a fabulous group.
I just have to say ,for the sake of reality. Artimus had just ,miraculously survived the same plane crash. And no matter what, he did go to find help, and did bring them back. And he called his wife to let her no he was ok. That's what's in his movie. Sounds like what any husband would want to do first after surviving a plane crash. And NO DISRESPECT TO GENE. Keep keeping on. Peace
Thank you for covering this tragedy.
Amazing video jordan.you can tell how much gene loved ronnie.thanks for making this video.
This is so neat. I have to see this for myself. I can’t imagine what Hell the survivors had to overcome because that area was saturated with deadly snakes and alligators. It still angers me to this day how derelict the Pilot was with the assumption of enough gas.
Believe what you want. There have been conflicting stories from many people including Artimus, Billy, Gene, Judy, and even some of the first responders. Also backstabbing. Even some snarky BS from Travis Tritt who don't even have a horse in the race.
I've always wondered what happened and you delivered these answers. You're the man Jordan! Thanks bro!
