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.

    Astoundiing & Spectacular Story, Music, Video, Audio, and Production Quality

    Finally saw "Lynyrd Skynyrd - if I Leave here Tomorrow" through Prime Video - indeed splendidly done; one can tell that a *lot* of careful thought-ful work went into creating it. . . .

    Had not known a lot of things, such as history behind how band's name came about (way cool story), details of the plane crash, other Musicians that wafted through L.S., and many other aspects and details. ... Plus, in it i *Love* the turning "Skynyrd" into a VERB by saying "we'd Skynyrd-ize them..." {i.e., the song lyrics of a new band-member)--brothers after my own heart.... From this person here who turns everything into a Verb !

    The documentary is iconic, great Music, and well worth seeing.... #TrulyExcellent.

    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!

    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

    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.

    • Trivia
      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.
