This Week in Live Music History: Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Last Show Before Tragic 1977 Plane Crash
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s fifth studio album, Street Survivors, was released on October 17th, 1977. Two days later, on the 19th, the Southern rock superstars played the fifth date of a fall tour in support of the album at Greenville Memorial Stadium in Greenville, SC. Sadly, the show would prove to be the last Lynyrd Skynyrd concert with the classic lineup. The band, later reconstituted with several new members, wouldn’t perform or tour again until more than a decade later.

“S” is for Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel
“S” is for Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel. The Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel is an unfinished nineteenth-century railroad tunnel located near Walhalla. In the 1850s Stumphouse Mountain played a key role in South Carolina's attempt to participate in antebellum America's commercial revolution. Planners contemplated cutting a one-and-one-half mile railroad tunnel through the mountain to link the state's rail lines with the Blue Ridge Railroad coming from Knoxville, Tennessee. This enterprise, if successful, would have linked Charleston with the commercial heartland of the young nation. Unfortunately, the price of tunneling through Stumphouse Mountain proved prohibitive and the project was abandoned. In 1951 Clemson College purchased the tunnel and for several years experimented with curing blue cheese in its cool, damp environment. Clemson leased the tunnel to the Pendleton Historic District in 1970, and the Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel was open to the public.
