But uh...dude.....you forgot Leon Wilkeson (bass guitar) & Billy Powell (piano, organ, & keyboard) who were both also in the 1973 lineup!

The reason Wilkeson was left out was because he left the band early and only did bass on "Mississippi Kid" and "Tuesday's Gone". Powell I think was omitted for space. But you're right. I fixed the description to include them.

From what I understand, Gary Rossington is the only one whose still with the band today.
(Although I forgot which one in the picture is him)
