Music reviews of Gimme Back My Bullets (W/Dvd) (Dlx)
Music Review: Essential 1975 DVD Performance
Rating: 5 Stars
EVERY fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd and rock and roll music in general should immediately run out and buy this album. Not because Bullets is Skynyrd's shining moment; it's not. While this is a very, very good album, it doesn't measure up to the greatness that is Second Helping or even Pronounced and Street Survivors.
What makes this reissue absolutely essential, though, is the inclusion of the "bonus" DVD containing Skynyrd's complete Old Grey Whistle Test performance from 1975. Vintage footage from the glory days of any classic band is so hard to come by, yet here we have, thanks to the BBC, a stunning, full color, uninterrupted, seven song performance from a band at the height of its powers.
It is such a revelatory experience to see Ronnie growling and prowling the stage in his barefeet and cowboy hat. Gary Rossington and Billy Powell show their mastery of thier instruments during their various solo breaks and of course Leon Wilkeson and Artimus Pyle formed Skynyrd's secret weapon rhythm section. All of it is fantastic stuff.
As you watch the DVD, though, keep a special look out for one of the truly great rock and roll guitar heroes, Mr. Allen Collins, at stage left. Allen Collins had style and flash and emotion - just an amazing musician. He was also a great songwriter, having composed the music for Gimme Three Steps, The Needle and the Spoon, That Smell, and Free Bird, amongst others. And of course one of the great moments in rock and roll history is on Free Bird after Ronnie sings those sad, proud lyrics. As Gary and Billy take their solo spots, the musical tension keeps building and building, up and up and up, until finally, finally the tension shatters as Allen Collins takes wing and soars into that classic extended solo.
The performances captured on this Old Grey Whistle Test truly demonstrate the power and the greatness that was Skynyrd at its best. Sadly, three of the guys shown in this performance are dead. Ronnie Van Zant (and Steve Gaines) died in that 1977 plane crash. Leon Wilkeson died of natural causes in 2001. And Allen Collins, who survived that horrific plane crash, tragically became a paraplegic in a car crash in 1986. He never played guitar again. He died of complications from the paralysis in 1990. Allen Collins, R.I.P.
Description of Gimme Back My Bullets (W/Dvd) (Dlx)
THE CLASSIC ALBUM - EXPANDED WITH BONUS TRACKS & A DVD FEATURING PERFORMANCES FROM 1975 APPEARANCE ON OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST!PACKAGE HIGHLIGHTS:
The Complete Classic Original Skynyrd Album Plus Bonus Tracks & DVD
Six Audio Bonus Tracks Including 2 Previously Not Released Commercially
First DVD Of Entire "Old Grey Whistle Test" BBC-TV Performance
New DVD Liner Notes, Plus Complete CD Reissue Notes
Other records from the late, great, and original Lynyrd Skynyrd were more barroom raw (Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd), indelibly rocking (Second Helping), and radio-ready (Street Survivors), but none was as endearing and cohesive as Gimme Back My Bullets). The 1975 LP, whose title referred not to ammunition, but to the Billboard term "#1 with a bullet," found the normally three-fisted Florida guitar army one axe short. But it allowed Gary Rossington and Allen Collins to work more intuitively on the songwriting chores with vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, while providing room to groove in the process. The results, though underrated in the band's epic pre-crash catalog, sweep into rock ("Trust," Searching"), blues ("I Got the Same Old Blues"), folk ("Every Mother's Son"), and country ("All I Can Do Is Write About It"). This deluxe edition includes alternate takes and live cuts. It also includes a bonus DVD featuring seven songs from the band's November 1975 performance on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test. The crystal-clear video shows Skynyrd in all their grandeur: raucous and polished, scorching and compassionate. And lights-out loud. --Scott Holter
