Ronnie Van Zant without a doubt had the most American honkytonk voice in the world.The band as a whole were actually in a league of their own. They could be country, hard rock, and anywhere in between. They each were masters at their game....
Absolutely one of the best, if not the best, band in history. They were so tight in their performance. Everyone knew their part and played it perfectly. Ronnie Van Zant was the quint essential leader without a doubt. So glad I grew up in the 70's and experienced this band as they evolved. I don't think there is a legitimate argument that the 70's and early 80's were the best times for rock & roll music, or any music for that matter. I was a freshman at East Carolina University the day I learned that their plane crashed in Mississippi. For me, it was the day that the music died.
Ef yeah. Allan Collins, Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines . Incredible guitar trio. Artemis Pyle on Drums. Who cant forget Billy Powell on the keys. Are you kidding me?
RVZ is Riding THISE boyss!!! Does he literally say get “ALL MY MULES OUT HERE” & then Whistles!!! Jesus he Fucks with those boys heads!! He’s a TOTAL CONTROL FREAK
@@michelebergman4336 Ronnie Van Zant always wanted and expected everyone who played in his band to be on their hundred percent A game and make no mistake whatsoever at every show.
"Can't He Play" I always assumed GR did most of the heavy lifting on the "One More From the Road" version. This video proves it. "Bernice" sounds great. There's something about a 1958-60 Les Paul Standard that makes it easy to pick out.
Also, most people your age are into hip-hop, which I guess is OK, but this kind is the best! BTW, this song never charted, but I guarantee ANY classic rock station would gladly play it; probably any rock station, period! I'm 57, so I'm almost 40 years older than you, and you don't know how good it makes me feel when younger generations praise "my" music.
The best part of being able to watch these videos live is seeing how the guys knew each other, communicated with their eyes, played and had fun... ❤️🤘🏻
Lives lost ...so young. I grew up listening to my parents play these albums. I started collecting them years ago and they have always been my all-time favorite, forever Southern Rock Band since my early teens. I'm turning 43 this year and I can't help but think Ronnie was only 29 when a tragic event happen that day. Steve Gaines was only 28 and his sister Cassie was 29 and other crew members lost their lives over a fuel mistake. Tonight I ponder, if these men and women knew the impact they made on music during their time. I doubt it, they practice hard, lived, and loved what they were doing! So much appreciation goes out to the people that recorded these videos live and if they or whoever posted it, I thank you because I was here yet.
I think ronnie was just trying to get Gary to atleast react lol Gary is a really shy acting player but Gary was also all about the music as well. Which I know people say it's all bout the money but hell that's what these guys did this for was to make as much money as they could, ain't nobody that would do any differently. Still love Gary's playing on this video he is a awesome awesome player.
I like the part while Gary is playing his solo to Three Steps, Ronnie comes over, kind of gets in his way and goofs off a little bit and Gary gives him a look.
@@jacobabrownful It just go to show the nature of their relationship as like brothers, best friends and even Father-son as having fun while doing what they loved best.
Ronnie given him those dam son you really killin it and gary cuts his eyes over with that I know grin lol would of loved to got to hang out with them for a weekend. Such a shame those lives was taken so young with so much to do in the world. Theres truly no telling how many #1's ronnie and the band would have made up until now had the plane crash not happened. Ronnie and the rest of the freebirds will never be forgotten.
@@dylanwatson1287 I'm pretty sure at one point ronnie says to gary "need a toot" cause I believe ronnie gestures to someone on side of stage as if he was snorting a line
this music is so orginal they are so tight, they played montreal but i was just a tad to young to go a train, ronnies got to be one of the countrys top song writers
Our favorite drinking back in HS was to see how many Little Kings you could drink before the lyrics started on the this song on the One More from the Road record. Great memories from this listening to this band.
They are all great, I listen to led zeppelin when I was a teenager and now I've kind of tired of zeppelin but never will lynyrd skynyrd listen to them all day
@Lynyrd Skynyrd no but I've been jamming out with your band since high school and I cried that morning on the radio I heard about the plane crash I was a sophomore year and RIP Ronnie van zant and the other band members who were killed ... Forever ❤️♾️ RIP Angel's
I like how hard core Skynyrd fans/purists especially Artimus say Ronnie had incredible "stage presences" by just standing like a true gentleman with his hand on the mic and not hardly ever dancing and showing off for the audiences they played for like of course Jagger, David Lee Roth, Elvis and Steven Tyler did. But on this night shown here, it seemed like on songs like Gimme Three Steps and T for Texas where he(Ronnie) comes over by Gary and Allen while they were doing their solos and like sticking his tongue out at Allen and kind of puts his hand/fingers near his mouth while leaning over towards Gary, he was just giving them a hard time and having fun himself as both of them knew he had their backs.
Ronnie Vanzant was great looking,I wish he could be here in 2022,he would be 74 , but I believe he would still look good and entertain as good as Mick Jagger does and he is 79
SEEN THEM 3 DAYS BEFORE AT SOLDIER FIELD IN CHICAGO OVER 100 THOUSAND PEOPLE WITH TED NUGENT AND R E O SPEEDWAGON THE BESR CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN BAR NONE
Ronnie Van Zant without a doubt had the most American honkytonk voice in the world.The band as a whole were actually in a league of their own. They could be country, hard rock, and anywhere in between. They each were masters at their game....
They were the best then they will be the best forever Lynyrd Skynyrd lives on and all of us forever
Thank god for RVZ and Skynyrd
You are dead fucking right
Gary Rossington getting down!!
Rest in peace brother ❤
0:00
Ronnie was genuinely a good dude, he loved to show off his band mates and give them the credit they deserved as seen at 3:30
Steve Gaines was so so happy to be there with every fiber of his being
Yes, his joy at being up there with this band, it just radiates from him. ✨️🥺💔💔💔✨️🤍🤍🤍✨️🕊🕊🕊
He can’t wipe that smile off, he seemed like a great kid.
The best dam band on the planet at that time and probably still is at least with me
Current lineup isn't nearly as good as these guys.
Couldnt agree more sir!!!! Ronnie Van Zant and the Lynyrd Skynyrd of the 70s is the true definition of Southern Rock!
@@mr.mr.8767 current lineup isn’t even Skynyrd as far as I see it. Just a tribute band besides Gary.
Lynyrd Skynyrd ended in 1977. Them and Zeppelin are my favorites!
Yes
You sometimes forget how great these guys were until you see clips like this they were phenomenal
Pure talent and coolness. Never to be repeated.
But wow, thanks bros. Xxxx
Badass is what they were from alot of hard work in that hell house it paided off... damn shame Ronnie didn't get to enjoy it longer
Steve Gaines having the time of his life. So sad it would all end 3 months later.
Bring all my mules out here! Called his bandmates his mules it was definitely he was in charge
You’re right, Joey. 43 years later, I’m still crying.
6 months of highs & guitaring before death I would take that legacy over nothing.
What a guitarist & singer.
@@robertsheppard6493 you forgot to say bring all my mule's out here and kick um one time! Ronnie ran Hell house. Not on this recording.
Steve was the real deal! Sad

Amen 🙏
No one ever talks about how great Gary all the Lynyrd Skynyrd guitar players are there's good as anybody
Allen Collins man, what a great talent. Tragic life story too. Legendary stuff. I see this and I'm in my 20s
Ef yeah. Allan Collins, Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines . Incredible guitar trio. Artemis Pyle on Drums. Who cant forget Billy Powell on the keys. Are you kidding me?
You forgot Ed King
@@sjh9173 Billy with a Bud on the piano!
@@sjh9173 all star team
Rest in peace to all the lynryrd Skynyrd members.
"Bring all my mules out here" classic Ronnie
thanks!! I did not know what Ronnie was talking about
whistle ~
I think he got borrowed that expression from a man by the name of Bob Wills.
I came here to kick that muthafuckin mule
Southern music at its finest no doubt!!!
He let everyone know that HE was in charge no matter! His way or the highway. He wasn't gonna let anyone take over and run his band.
King of southern rock mr ronnie Van Zant
This was Gary's song and Ronnie loved it~great song!
Ronnie and Allen collins wrote it
It was based on a true story about Ronnie
The look that the always unflappable Rossington gives RVZ at 3:20 is priceless.
Lol
Gary Rossington absolutely made this song with those awesome riffs, love those facial expressions Gary does to lol Gary is one awesome guitar God!
RVZ is Riding THISE boyss!!! Does he literally say get “ALL MY MULES OUT HERE” & then Whistles!!! Jesus he Fucks with those boys heads!! He’s a TOTAL CONTROL FREAK
What drugs was RVZ on?
@@michelebergman4336 Ronnie Van Zant always wanted and expected everyone who played in his band to be on their hundred percent A game and make no mistake whatsoever at every show.
What a band! Solid rhythm section, three monster guitarists and great front man.
Well said!!!
Lmao after excuse me RVZ say’s “I didn’t want to fight him over that c~nt any how!” Classic
He (RVZ) died young, but he left his positive mark on Rock & Roll for as long as Rock lives.
Gary Rossington and Ronnie VanZant wrote all The Hits of Lynerd Skynyrd and Damn near All the Songs were Hits .
Greatest band ever. Especially with Ronnie and his band. Great song writer. Gone to soon
"Can't He Play"
I always assumed GR did most of the heavy lifting on the "One More From the Road" version. This video proves it.
"Bernice" sounds great. There's something about a 1958-60 Les Paul Standard that makes it easy to pick out.
My favorite song I'm 17 but I grow up listing to Lynyrd Skynyrd and some other bands do to my DAD R.I.P
You are still growing up, but good for you having taste and respect for good music and your Dad.
Rip dad he taught you how to rock
He raised you right!
Also, most people your age are into hip-hop, which I guess is OK, but this kind is the best! BTW, this song never charted, but I guarantee ANY classic rock station would gladly play it; probably any rock station, period!

Oh god I miss the 70s
the Excuuuuse me part always makes me smile
The best rock band ever in my opinion
Damn! Those guys blew doors out! They were good.
Liked to have heard Leon sing lead on a song , man this band are incredible
The more I watch, the more respect I have for these guys. 🍺
At 3:22 Gary knows how nice he is on the guitar
The best part of being able to watch these videos live is seeing how the guys knew each other, communicated with their eyes, played and had fun... ❤️🤘🏻

U are so right. Xxx
Gotta love Artimus cranking it up w/cowbell!
A legend in his nappy. Xxxx
Ronnie is out of it here, and Gary gives him a look when he gets into his space. Band dynamics on display.
Yes i noticed that tooo brotha
Yep, his look was sayin’, “don’t get in my bubble unless you want trouble”...
I'm sure they were just giving each other the look of "fuck yeah"
He's just messing with Gary.
I think ronnie was just trying to get Gary to atleast react lol Gary is a really shy acting player but Gary was also all about the music as well.

Oh the memories!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a Legend!
The 77 line up to me was the best sknyard in my opinion fly high out laws 🤘🍺
Hell yeah it was 🤘🍺👍
You are my guitar hero Gary
Mine too mate 👍..
This takes me back to an incredible place of good times, great music and true good fun...miss it so much
Classic southern rock... Jacksonville's finest!... Ronnie was a true alpha male...
this song has always kicked ass
When friends think of me, they always tell me they think of this song. What a hoot Linda Lou!
same here Val,,the crew I work with on night shift know this is the tune that lites up the mules!!!!
I’m Linda but never Linda Lou bc I’m Linda Gail lol rock on Lynyrd Skynyrd. These were the days!
They lived hard and died harder RIP Ronnie, Steve, Allen, Leon and Billy. You're all greatly missed
Now Gary,
Just thought of something....Johnnie had to witness all of these guys passing away....can only imagine the heartache and pain he's had to deal with.
I like the part while Gary is playing his solo to Three Steps, Ronnie comes over, kind of gets in his way and goofs off a little bit and Gary gives him a look.
Same here bro. Priceless
@@jacobabrownful It just go to show the nature of their relationship as like brothers, best friends and even Father-son as having fun while doing what they loved best.
About 4:02 they lock eyes again and all i can think is ronnie is like damn boy you killin it!
Ronnie given him those dam son you really killin it and gary cuts his eyes over with that I know grin lol would of loved to got to hang out with them for a weekend. Such a shame those lives was taken so young with so much to do in the world. Theres truly no telling how many #1's ronnie and the band would have made up until now had the plane crash not happened. Ronnie and the rest of the freebirds will never be forgotten.
@@dylanwatson1287 I'm pretty sure at one point ronnie says to gary "need a toot" cause I believe ronnie gestures to someone on side of stage as if he was snorting a line
this song takes me back in time
CATHY ANN: What a good song.....he was great, it seems the good ones goes first...but they leave us with great stuff and we will never forget..
That good ole music i was raised on
George Prewitt me too
lynyrd skynyrd is the shit!
Sweet guitar Gary rossington sweet sweet guitar
this music is so orginal they are so tight, they played montreal but i was just a tad to young to go a train, ronnies got to be one of the countrys top song writers
That guitar is beautiful

Gawd damn Ronnie’s funked up! GETCHA PULL
One of there best songs out of many what a great freaking band...
Greatest live band ever. EVER!!
I hope Gary, Ronnie, Steve, and The Mad Hatter Leon are having an awesome reunion today.
That look Ronnie gives Gary at 4:02...
Lol hes like damn boy you just get better and better! haha
Our favorite drinking back in HS was to see how many Little Kings you could drink before the lyrics started on the this song on the One More from the Road record. Great memories from this listening to this band.
A Legend of Southern Rock, miss ya Ronnie! 🎧🎧🍺🥃🤟🎸🦅

Awesome band!! They created more fantastic songs and music in a shorter time than most bands do in decades!!! Ronnie was a great frontman!!
Ronnie Vanzant was great looking,I wish he could be here in 2022,he would be 74 , but I believe he would still look good and entertain as good as Mick Jagger does and he is 79
when ronnie calls them all up to the front that was f ing badass
I love the honesty of this song.
Can he play ? Of Course ! Go Go Gary Go on ! He has One of Les Pauls Best Tone ever !!! I think I have the right Guitar. !
Foot stomping music!
All the Best of the Best. Chiraq love's you forever.
They are the best band ever💯💯💯🙌
I am so glad that I have seen this show 3xs
