Summary:
After years of life on the road and with their role models, the Allman Brothers Band, struggling to survive the deaths of two of its most distinctively talented members, today Lynyrd Skynyrd has become the quintessential Southern Rock band. Under the leadership of frontman and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, the group's melodic lyric driven ballads and power driven hard rockers would catapult the group into one of the most popular touring bands in the world. The group's distinctive guitar attack, combined with an overtly defiant and rebellious attitude, gave them a cultural identity that would help make songs like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird" into anthems of American rock music and staples of FM radio right up to the present day.

Headlining a bill that also featured the Outlaws, this Winterland recording captures Lynyrd Skynyrd following the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets. This was during a transitional phase for the band, following the departure of guitarist Ed King, but prior to his replacement, Steve Gaines, coming on board. The band was carrying on as a six-piece unit, augmented by the Honkettes on backing vocals.

This is an interesting time to hear the band live, as their trademark three-guitar attack was reduced by one guitar, leaving more room for keyboardist Billy Powell. On the ballads, like "Tuesdays Gone" and the pre-jam verses of "Freebird," Powell displays great creativity and expands the keyboard's role in these songs.

Otherwise, the band rocks as hard as ever, with a good selection of their most popular songs, sampling a bit from all four of their studio albums. The group's defiant Southern swagger, combined with an infectious guitar and piano driven groove, creates an irresistible combination that resonated far beyond the Southern states. Two of the standouts on this show are both well chosen covers, which the band redefines as their own; J.J. Cale's "Call Me The Breeze" and Jimmy Rogers' "T For Texas." Both of these are rearranged in classic Skynyrd style, with the latter closing the set and clearly displaying the root sound of the band at its best.

The audience demands an encore and the band obliges with a monumental "Free Bird." It begins as a plaintive slow ballad, with Van Zant's distinctively sad vocals over the melodic keyboard playing of Powell and delicate slide guitar ornamentation from Rossington. However, it is the second section, which becomes an up-tempo guitar boogie, that really hits home. Here the guitarists cut loose to create one of the most distinctive solos of all time. Rossington and Collins turn this section into a soaring jam that also features impressive melodic bass playing from Wilkeson and furious keyboards from Powell. Following a brief reprise of the song, they turn on a dime back into the groove of the jam before bringing it to a climactic close.

"Free Bird," more often than not, sarcastically, would become the most requested song of all time. For musicians, this inevitable request has become so tiresome, that the act of requesting it has become universally known as "the mantra of the moron." Still, this only goes to prove just how deeply this song has permeated American culture and is a testament to its enduring popularity, making it one of the true landmark rock songs of twentieth century music.

Lyrics:
Ever since I was a jit knew I was was the shit
Shorty keep wanna come round she wanna get hit
she think she the main, because I keep her by my side
DOUBLE 00 buss down tha watch she know
That I’m timeless
I put my son in some Rick
I pull that gun off the hip
Pockets hold 22 clips
I break her heart
Comme garçon
Get put on a shirt
Get put on a blimp
bitch like a stain
Get ready to lick
I had to tell her dat
Ever since I was a jit knew I was the shit
She singing my songs she wanna die lit
tryna get hit
House like a bank
Deposit this bit
Deposit that check
Smile on my face
ain’t playing shit
come and get checked
Ice on my neck
00 wrist
She in the scat
Helluva cat
Fresh out trench
400 packs
Uh yeah I’m spinning in Paris
Dress for these hoes they Finna flock
Just poured a 4 in a soda it pop
Them drugs Finna hit
I’m wrestling all of my demons i feel like The rock

Ever since I was a kid I been legit

If I was you I would cut up my wrist
Xo tatted all over her body oh
She just wanna roll and I don’t mind it yah
Ever Since I was a jit I been legit
You should let Her go she wanna be it
Double O tatted on her body
It don’t matter what they say im timeless yah
City on fire when im coming home
Fill up the sky, i fill up the Dome
They’ll play it one day, it’s a hell of a show
But its gonna hurt cause we did it first
Feel like skateboard p
BBC boys on the creep
Feel like it’s 03, Neptune drum with a beam
She hippy flipping a bean, she wanna fuck with the team
She fell in love with the cream, she fell in love with the scene
Her man quiet not a peep,broke his heart ptsd
Hold his chest let it breathe, let it breathe
Niggas scheme
And I got a priest, he got a cross
Get outta line send him to God
I Shed a tear, pray for a loss
Ever since I was a kid I been legit
If I was you I would cut up my wrist
Xo tatted all over her body oh
She just wanna roll and I don’t mind it yah
Ever Since I was a jit I been legit
You should let Her go she wanna be it
Double O tatted on her body
It don’t matter what they say im timeless yah

Kris Kristofferson - For the good times (1970) Hotney 8 Streams • 2 years ago

Fair use - no copyright violation intended

"For the good times" from Kris' debut album "Kristofferson".
It's so sad and beautiful at the same time...
Great lyrics as always, and this beautiful tune ... I love it!

Of course this song was not written about Rita and him,
but things always happen twice in one's lifetime...

It was Kris' first No 1 country hit as a writer in 1970
It was "Song of the Year" (and "Single Record of the Year") of the Academy of Country Music in 1970 -
(That was the first time a writer had won "Song of the Year" awards from both the Country Music Association - with "Sunday Mornin' comin' down"- AND the Academy of Country Music for different songs in the same year)

In 1971 Ray Price won a Grammy Award for "Best Male Country Vocal Performance" with it.

The scenes are from the movies
"The last honor of Kathryn Beck"- aka "Act of Passion" (1984) and
"Blood and Orchids" (TV, 1986).
Both movies are great to me and worth watching anyway, but only available on VHS tapes.
... The latter one is available on DVD now
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035QHNVU

Kris already began to write the song in 1968, in his Opel, on one of his endless rides from Nashville to the Gulf.
"I began a song about making love to a woman for the last time. After a while the melody really got to me. I couldn't wait to get to a guitar. I was riding along thinking about that part where it says, 'Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin' soft against the window,' and I wondered if I could play it. I wrote only the first part of the lyrics then. A while went before I finished it, I can't remember how long.... But I do remember who I wrote it about." Probably it was inspired by the dying days of his relationship to Fran...
Now it's hard to believe that for a time some radio stations wouldn't play the original recording by Bill Nash because of its "overtly sexual content"; indeed for a brief time, Kris couldn't even find anyone who wanted to record the song... And then? A spokeman for Buckhorn Music, which published the song shortly before Kris switched to Combine Music, said later, "It's recorded by pretty much everyone who comes into town to do an album, Englebert Humperndinck, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Chet Atkins, Loretta Lynn and many more."

For the good times

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world
will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time
to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow,
hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
blowin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find
you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowin' soft against my window
Make believe you love me
one more time
For the good times

For the good times (1968)

Schau nicht so traurig, ich weiß, es ist vorbei.
Aber das Leben geht weiter
und diese alte Welt wird sich weiterdrehen.
Lass uns einfach froh sein,
dass wir einige Zeit zusammen verbringen konnten
Wir müssen uns nicht die Brücken anschauen, die wir verbrennen.

Leg deinen Kopf auf mein Kissen,
halte deinen warmen und zärtlichen Körper
dicht an meinen
Hör das Flüstern der Regentropfen
weich gegen das Fenster schlagen
Und lass mich noch einmal glauben, dass du mich liebst -
wegen der guten Zeiten

Ich werd zurecht kommen,
du wirst einen anderen finden.
Und ich werde hier sein falls du je entscheidest, dass du mich brauchst.
Sag kein Wort über das Morgen oder das Fürimmer.
Es wird noch genug Zeit sein fürs Traurigsein
wenn du mich verlässt...
