Southern Rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd will join Alice Cooper, Pop Evil, STYX, Bachman & Turner, Def Leppard, Toby Keith, George Thorogood and Leon Russell to celebrate on stage the Legendary Buffalo Chip’s 30th party on August 10 during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
“Southern rock has always been an important component of what has made the Buffalo Chip successful for all these years,” said Rod Woodruff, campground owner. “Bikers love the freedom-loving lyrics and boogie riffs that define the genre. And, Lynyrd Skynyrd themselves and the music they play helped invent that genre.” The band was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and is among Rolling Stone magazine’s and VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2008, Guitar World magazine .named the Free Bird solo, the third greatest of all time. Reservations may be made at The Buffalo Chip or by calling 605-347-9000
If they’re Rockin’ Don’t come knockin’ at “The Chip”.
Hell of a lot better band than that flake Steven Tyler and Aerosmith …. at least Lynyrd will finish their sets! Long live the masters of Free Bird!
Over & Out,
Jeff
Ahem….”Freebird” at The Chip, huh? Been goin’ fer years! Wiz
Lynyrd Skynyrd , in my mind is the official biker band of all time. Their songs , especially the lyrics express the biker attitude and philosophy better than any other. Some bands are popular but don’t fit the culture. Allman Brothers , Creedence , Bad Company , George Thorogood and the Destroyers , Stevie Ray , Hank Jr. and so on speak to the biker spirit. There is a lot of good music, but not all of it is biker music .
Rock bands and motorcycles=best momments in life.
They need to update the picture.
Bill, Yup, the pianist [left corner] joined the others soaring in the sky! Wiz
