Bill, you remember when
SHB opened for the Stones?
547
00:22:42,473 --> 00:22:45,708
Yeah, it was with Lenny
Kravitz and them in Virginia,
548

and yeah, I remember it didn't go well.
549

'Cause opening for the
Stones is the toughest gig in rock.

to us one time, he said,
556
00:23:06,164 --> 00:23:11,000
"On any one day, any band can
be the greatest band in the world."
557
00:23:11,035 --> 00:23:14,236
And he wanted Lynyrd
Skynyrd's one day to be that day
558
00:23:14,272 --> 00:23:16,172
they opened for the Stones,
559
00:23:16,207 --> 00:23:19,809
and we trained for that
day like it was the Olympics,
560
00:23:19,844 --> 00:23:22,077
which it was in a way.
561
00:23:22,113 --> 00:23:25,514
He rebuilt that band and
was ready to take no prisoners,
562
00:23:25,550 --> 00:23:28,317
and he was gonna start by taking down
563
00:23:28,352 --> 00:23:30,352
the biggest band in the world.
564
00:23:30,388 --> 00:23:32,788
We practiced every day for three weeks
565
00:23:32,824 --> 00:23:36,358
in a shack out in the country,
and there would be no drinking,
566
