Atlanta Rhythm Section

Note: Contemporary advertising and
various lists of performances indicate that Artful Dodger was
in fact the opening act for this show, rather than Atlantic
Rhythm Section. If you can shed any light on this mystery,
please contact
me. —Moyssi
Comments: Al Kooper is said to have
said about Lynyrd Skynyrd that “these guys can out-drink,
out-fight, and out-play anyone I know.” But it looks like
Leslie can out-eat them all—and he can still play if his
too-brief performance at the first Long Island Music Hall of
Fame induction ceremony is any indication. About Atlanta Rhythm
Section, Crawdaddy said, “a combination of inventive
writing and consummate musicianship like this hasn’t been
heard from out of the South since the Allmans’
‘Idlewild South.’”
