Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell - 7/13/1977 - Convention Hall (Official)

Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the official music video of Lynyrd Skynyrd performing the prescient song " That Smell" recorded live at Convention Hall - Asbury Park, NJ on July 13, 1977. Roughly 90 days later Ronnie Van Zant was killed in a plane crash on October 20, 1977 at Gillsburg, Mississippi.
Yes it was deplorable that somebodies desecrated the grave Ronnie Van Zant by removing the marble slab was stolen his grave and dumping it in a dried up river bed.
When I was a young enlisted combat engineer stationed at Fort Campbell, I went on a road trip to to see Lynyrd Skynyrd perform at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Evansville, Indiana on June, 14, 1975. They ended their sets with Free Bird.

Thank you, my friend SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL for mentioning me.

"That Smell" written by Allen Collins, Ronnie Van Zant
Lyrics
"Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you"
