Lynyrd Skynyrd - If I Leave Here Tomorrow (2018)
This authorized documentary will explore the music and backstory of the legendary American band. With the songs from the first six Skynyrd albums driving the narration, the film focuses on the story of frontman Ronnie Van Zant - his upbringing, his roots, his work ethic and his contradictory persona as both as a mythic Southern rock poet and notorious boozed-up brawler, as well as the relationships between his friends and fellow founding members Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, along with later bandmates Ed King and Artimus Pyle.

    "Leonard Skinner"

    Right now I'm thinking that this is the best documentary that I've ever seen. Definitely the best Music Documentary, and I've seen a lot of those. My husband and I watched all the way to the end and then pressed replay to rewatch right away. I've never done that with a movie before! I helps that we love the band, but you will love this movie even if you just love music documentaries. Or really interesting stories told very, very well.

    Excellent, with one quibble

    Having grown up on Lynyrd Skynyrd's music, I thought the in-depth documentary was great. All of the photos and stories from the early days when they were just a bunch of kids from Jacksonville who wanted to be rock stars were fantastic, and Gary Rossington in particular is a very likable and endearing guy.

    It's that they basically stopped at the plane crash, then skipped right to the band's rebirth, with no further story about the surviving members, that sucks. Mostly, that what happened to Allen Collins never came up. Frankly, Allen was probably the single most tragic member of Lynyrd Skynyrd (including those who died in the crash), and he was a founding member, yet after the plane crash there was no mention of him other than his "in memoriam" at the end. That kind of sucks. He deserved more.

    Other than that, I really liked it.

    Turn on close caption

    As a native of Jacksonville, going to the same schools that the guys in Skynyrd went to, and being a huge fan, I have seen just about every documentary on this band. This doc used more unseen footage than I've every seen! It's a lovingly, well-made documentary, but I recommend turning on close caption to hear the interviews

    Will You Still Remember Me?.....

    Stephen Kijak did a very nice job putting this documentary together. It's done so very respectfully and pays the proper homage this great band deserves from original members to current members. Lynyrd Skynyrd was a rock solid steady part of the soundtrack of lives for anyone growing up in the '70's. And their legend and music still reverberates with strength and relevance as it did back then. This documentary will shed light on the band's roots, it's rise to icon status, the highs & the lows. in great clarity. There is something to be learned in this gem by even the most devoted fan. Much Respect!

    Sad if you remember that accident

    Living in Alabama I hear "Simple Man" damn near every day. I really liked the documentary. Cried Three times.

      Guitarist Ed King passed away in five months later from cancer.
    • Goofs
      During the "in memoriam" segment at the end of the film, the banner Bob Burns "1952-2015" is shown. Burns, the band's original drummer, was actually born in 1950, not 1952.
    • Quotes

      Gary Rossington: Now it's 30 years later, and it's still going, and people still come, and the younger generation learns: it's not about us. It's about the feelings of that music and the stories they tell. That's what I feel I am here to do now.
