Tragedy struck on October 20, 1977, three days after the band recorded their ''Street Survivors'' album, when their chartered plane crashed in Mississippi. Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, his sister Cassie (a member of the band's backup singers, The Honkettes), and several members of the band's production staff were killed. The band disbanded after the tragedy, with the group reuniting at Charlie Daniels's Volunteer Jam V to perform an instrumental version of "Free Bird" accompanied by Daniels and some of his band members (bassist Charlie Hayward and keyboardist Joe [=DiGregorio=]). Rossington, Collins, Wilkeson and Powell formed the Rossington-Collins Band, but Collins was prone to alcoholism and drugs. The band reformed in 1987 with Ronnie's younger brother Johnny and a rotating cast of new blood.

* AntagonisticGovernor: ''Sweet Home Alabama'', whilst a fiery defence of Southern values, does accept that Alabama having one of these (George wallace) and the fact he was loved by enough people to ensure he remained Governor, was not an especially helpful or progressive thing. It's the only part of the song that comes close to admitting Neil Young might have a point - although the lines about the regressive Wallace are followed up by a dig at the fact a bigger political scandal, Watergate, did ''not'' happen in the South.
