I had always understood that it was borne of some sort of disagreement they had with Neil's point of view. Later, the tiff was reconciled and the two parties got along much better. At least, that's how I always heard it.

If it was never anything but hype, I do owe Skynyrd my sincerest apologies.

RONNIE AND NEIL
(Hood / DBT)

Church blew up in Birmingham
Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason
All this hate and violence can't come to no good end
A stain on the good name.
A whole lot of good people dragged threw the blood and glass
Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Wilson Pickett comes to town
To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Aretha Franklin comes to town
To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound

And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the
Bad shit that went down
"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth
But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town
To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound
And they met some real good people, not racist pieces of shit
And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil
Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking there minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil

Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song
Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song
So He wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record
But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord

And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground
And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil
Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking their minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil

It's only a matter of weeks until Pearl Jam plays the South. Will the thread make 20000 posts before then? Consider that a challenge.

My wife is going to experience her first and second PJ shows this tour. We're currently involved in a six-week study so that she can be more familiar with the band's material. Anybody got a must-hear bootleg to suggest?

I have Seattle II 2000 and she's already seen Live at the Garden (though I'm not sure I have the boot of the second night). Pittsburgh 2000 is one of those under-rated shows, isn't it?

I'm planning to let her spin a little bit of everything before we go to the shows. Thanks for the suggestions.

it was a lyrical response to neil's "southern man". basically saying if you don't like us, fine we don't need you to like us.

sorta like a 70's version of the east coast/west coast rap rivalry, but without the crack and the shootings

Dangerboy- any word that that NC show? I guess now since it's May, it's not going to happen, but have you heard anything about them maybe changing the date?

IMHO...MSG II is a far superior show to the one on the DVD....yeah, the Ben Harper thing is cool...but the set-list and the music on night two is more to my liking. Holmdel July 14, 2003 is another favorite. Live at Easy Street is also cool.

Atlanta April 3rd 1994 - I'm a little partial just because I was born on April 3rd, but most PJ fans will agree that it is a killer show.

I was listening live on the FM that night. Still have the audio cassette tucked away somewhere.
