Kat’s Hidden Camera 1/6: Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Cry for the Bad Man”

This suggestion comes from Scott B. Who Writes:

” It was filmed  3/7/1976 in San Francisco at the Winterland Ballroom before Steve Gaines.”

And this info about the song from songfacts.com:

“This song is about Alan Walden, Skynyrd’s manager before they signed with Peter Rudge. Skynyrd lead singer Ronnie Van Zant was very close to Walden and even served as best man at his wedding, but he was outvoted in the decision to fire him. Walden later explained that he made efforts to keep the band financially sound and get them to be responsible with their money, but they rejected these efforts. Van Zant would later state that he regretted writing this song. (thanks, Zap – Norwalk, CT)”
