Many thanks are owed to Roadie Joe Barnes, Ed King, various members of the EK board, Lynyrd Skynyrd Dixie, the Outlaws Official message board, and the various videos, photographs, and interviews that I have found have all helped me to fill out this list to this extent. And to the old Official Lynyrd Skynyrd Message Board which got the ball rolling.

BILLY POWELLS EQUIPMENT HISTORY

Pianos Wurlitzer Electric Piano 44 keys Notes: Used in the early days before Skynyrd hired Sound Productions for their live show and before Billy got the Steinway. It had really good response and worked as well as a real piano and would get real loud too. Billy played the shit out of it. - Joe Barnes Yamaha Concert D-6 Made in Japan Used for Workin for MCA, Swamp Music, and Same Old Blues during the 70s 1953 Steinway and Sons Concert Piano Model B 7 ft length Has two of them - one black finish, one white Notes: The White model was in storage at Soundcheck Nashville at the time of the catastrophic flood in May 2010. It was restored to near-perfect condition by piano tech Sam Lewis beginning with evaluations in November 2010, and was restored from February-August 2011. The water damage came up to the middle C note, from there, there was significant humidity damage.

Famous piano that is at the Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, FL. Has been used to record the song Layla, hence the nickname. Many other famous artists have used it as well. Used during the Street Survivors sessions during 1977 Producer Tom Dowd preferred the low-end response of the piano. Harpsichord Used at home (seen in Pepsi Special) Amps Eliminator Amp Cabinet (2x) Peavey Full-Range Cabinets Used at least during the 77 British tour Other Tambourine Used on Mississippi Kid
