On June 14, 1977, Ronnie Van Zant and the guitar triple threat of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, and Steve Gaines tore it up in Portland at the newly opened CCCC with Billy Powell on keyboards, Leon Wilkinson on bass and Artimus Pyle on drums.
With all the excitement surrounding Lynyrd Skynyrd's return to Blimpville for one last time last weekend, we thought their Maine fans had to see this!
