Were you there? Just wonderin. Van Halen first big show..78. I don't think we stayed for any of Sabbath's set..not after what we had just witnessed. Whole fkn crowd yelling for encore, they played Really got me again, with a whole different solo, and we're still screaming. Rumour has it bully Iommi tried for a punch -up with the VanHalens...as if!
@@robbycates7421 oh, that's fact, brother. Just when I was really getting into them, prolly even tried to buy a copy of Street Survivors. Alas, in my smallish town, they were quickly sold out...rich kids, ya know? 1977 had some to offer, but disco would be selling out the rest of the decade...
That's my favorite Skynryd live set of songs! What an awesome line up of musicians... all of them. Gary, Allen, Steve, Billy, Artemis and Ronnie! Fucking bad asses. No funking costumes, dancing, nothing. 1976 kick ass music!
Deborah, like Ronnie said in "Gimme Three Steps," "I said excuse me"..... how did I forget Leon! He was great too. What a great band, still is, but I like the old 70's Skynyrd stuff so much....
the absolute best band of all time bar none if Ronnie wouldn't have been killed it's u telling what he could have accomplished look what they did in such a short time never anyone as good before him and definitely not after some great talent no doubt but not on that level and never will be we were so blessed to have the music and still have it today going strong almost fifty yrs later awesome all u can say
They would have blown every band away with this lineup! Steve gave them that boost they were needing and Ronnie's voice was strong! Love skynyrd period!
One thing that a lot of people dont know, and I've read just about all of the Skynyrd books out there, watched a bunch of interviews, etc. was that Steve Gaines, besides being extremely talented, really was a shot in the arm to Gary and Allen, who were kind of burned out. They'd been at the grind for a while, and along comes Steve, very hungry from playing clubs for so long, and was allowed major input into "Street Survivors", it really revived Gary and Allen's playing again.
That's true. They called the tour before Steve joined, the "Hell Tour". Cassie kept telling my "brother was really good on guitar" and they had known of him, but not how good he really was till they gave him a shot. Shortly before Street Survivors came out, Ronnie who had allowed Steve to sing lead vocals on the album had said....One day this band will be his. He was that much of a game changer to this band. RIP Steve.....we know how awesome you were!
@Yeah But no doubt about it. Check out some of Steve’s old band Crawdad. There’s quite a few videos. Cover tunes, originals, Steve could play and sing absolutely anything. And if you can believe it, his playing on those may be even better than what he brought to Street Survivors
One hell of a band. Unmatched. Never can be duplicated. Don't see any band today that could match their prowess. And as I've always said about them, with a beer in the air,"...Hell yeah!" Proud of them.
Yes,I believe when he joined the group it gave them a better sound I'm a fan of ed king as well but I like Gaines better,there will never be a band as good as LS love to you from Tennessee Cherokee Nation
Yes Andi Steve Gaines a fresh added strength to an already All Star band ! These guys gain 7 stars to their multi All STAR sound and " WHAT A CLASS ACT !!! LYNYRD Skynyrd a n Awesome Band and Truly Fantastic, Long listen to Skynyrd they are a complete real deal and musical genius ... As rgute musical sounds exploit sheets Genius playing abilities and songs .!!! Are missed and PAppreciated Enmensley. ! Thanks LYNYRD SKYNYRD ! A FANTASTIC BAND ! Carlito ✓. ♦️. 💎
I have it cranked up in my JVC ear buds. Its 2-26-23 at 6:33 pm from Hagerstown Md ! Oh by the way I'm 67 6'1" 230 lbs black dude who been jamming these good oe'l boy for years. Didn't always care about the politics but I'm not here for that I'm here for the music and I'm boys could play.
Florida Boys❗️ Hard-rockin... saw them at the Hollywood Sportatorium just days before they crashed. At that time they were the very best rock concert you could go to•••• believe it🎸
I've seen them all live Zep - Stones - Aerosmith - The who - Metallica - Van Halen - AcDc - Etc Etc. Skynyd is the best live band ever and it aint even close
I've seen a lot of bands live too, including most of them you've listed above, and this is the tightest live performance I've ever seen out of a rock band. No question. Artimus and Wilkerson really keep the tempo perfect at all times. You gotta give props to them, because they are the two that keep the rhythm perfect
@sonny freeman You are not the only one who thinks that. Skynyrd is the greatest american band. They torched ass live! And they weren't put together by some record corporate assholes. They played Little League baseball together as kids. They are the real thing...as american as it gets!
I was leaning on the stage 30 feet away from Ronnie and he was barefoot as always!! 3 lead guitar players trading riffs all night!! I'll never forget it. The original band at it's peak of greatness. 3 months later they were gone. I cried.
same here brother although the stoned gave em a run for there more but being born and raised not only in the usA but also the DEEP south the award goes to LS
Saw them July '77 at the Spfld Civic Center in Massachusetts. Foreigner opened for their first ever tour. Leaning on the stage. Never forget it. They had it all!! Little did I know they'd be done in 3 months. I respect all the other versions but there was only ONE for me. With Barefoot Ronnie holding that mic.
This is the complete package guitars, vocals and lyrics. Nothing will ever come close. When they were on they were really on…they were very,very on this day in England 1976
Best rhythm section in rock with you and Leon Wilkerson keeping the perfect beat - even live. This performance illustrates that. Blue Yodel at this event has to be the best live rock performance of all time. And I am NOT exaggerating. How did you guys keep it so tight that day? I say it all started with the rhythm section. You are a rock legend, but you already know that don't you? Cheers - and Siemper Fi
set my utube ch on back burner awhile deleted ALL comment so no disrespect intended key points; a toast raised to Artimus Pyle and Skynyrd, agree smokin rhythms esp mid 70s and what Artimus said bout Ronnie and the band is too cool
Love you Artie! I was just at the hell house property on Wednesday. This performance was a 10 out of a 10. Paid my respects to our friends in Jax, peace my brother. ❤️ 🇺🇸 💪
For more than thirty years ive been convinced that Allen Collins is the most underated guitarist in the world... its all about the dynamics with Allen.
I always loved every complimentary member of Skynyrd and especially appreciated Billy Powell's talents and contribution. Everything was in the cards for this band to come together like they did, but sadly we know the bad that also came. So glad for the lives of Ronnie, Cassie and Steve, but also for the rest of the band who lived to share their music with us for decades to come.
Born & raised from Jacksonville, I just gotta say this, still til this day, there’s not a better band live than lynyrd skynyrd. Rolling Stones & this crowd experienced greatness this day.
MAN!!!!!.... THIS IS AWESOME MUSIC!!!!!!! THE LOUDER THE BETTER!!!! AWESOME BAND from Florida home grown! There ain't no denying it! Let the neighbors hear it !
The video and audio quality on this is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I hope and Pray that youngsters today listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd and dream about picking up a guitar or other instrument. The talent these guys had is becoming pretty rare. Amazing to me the sound that they created and they didn't copy it from anyone either! Nowadays you just click youtube and see pretty much any Artist, or surf the Net for ideas, not to mention the guitar technology we have today! These guys did NOT have the luxuries we have today at their fingertips and still created a kick-ass sound. I'm 46 and was a kid when the crash took Ronnie, Steve,Cassie & Dean. My older brothers had been raising me on Skynyrd music. My oldest brother had just bought "Street Survivors" and I loved the Album,(mine has the flames on the cover), and still own it today along with all the rest of my Albums from the 1970's. That tragedy took the lives of these talented folks but Skynyrd Music will never die and I hope it continues to inspire young musicians everywhere.
chuckobscure Could you post this song from your "old DVD"? I watched this one in the 720 setting. I also run my monitor through the HDMI port from the computer. Looks pretty good to me. I'd really like to see your higher quality video. Do you mind sharing it with everyone?
chuckobscure No not at all..Sorry if it sounded like that. I would just like to see a better quality video if it's available. I wasn't even aware there were DVD's out on this one. I remember way back when the VHS came out, but I never got one. If you're not able to share it, or if youtube won't let you it's kool man.
sinisterbluehd Oh ok man, I'll have to dig it out of the closet this weekend and check it out. I'll let you know once I have a look, it's been a few years though, I could be wrong.
Put these guys right up there with Thin Lizzy as one of the best guitar bands in rock music.As a live band they gave you your money's worth and then some!!!
Gaines makes that Strat sing, Collins on that Explorer - amazing - Rossington rocks the Les Paul like nobody else..Ronnie's intensity and anger are unmistakable...Artimus is a beast with Powell and Leon rock-solid ...how many thousands of times have these guys played these songs together to be not only that tight, but arrive at those tones, while still listening to each other and...it's Rock poetry ( or southern Rock poetry)...
I get chicken skin, my hair stands on end and cold chills run up and down my spine every time I've had a couple of beers and automatically gravitate to this live show. It draws me like a magnet... irresistible . The greatest show on earth. Usually I listen to a lot of their albums with no visual but the album cover to build myself up to this greatest performance I've ever seen. Greatest live band to ever step foot on stage... or in a studio... or in a dive
@Lonesome John I think the reason that they were so on that day is because they were there as an opening act. To the audience, maybe you didn't come here for us, but when this day is over you will never forget us.
The greatest band in the land ain't KISS...It's Skynyrd!! The greatest southern USA rock band of all time playin' in England..How cool is that!! I love Johnny and his ragtag bunch but the Originals are the greatest!! R.I.P.
Oh man, I would give everything to see this lineup play live today!!! You won't ever see anything this great EVER in this day & age. Today's music sucks hard!!!
Mick told Ronnie you can't go out on the tongue 👅 first thing they did went out on the tongue....... Skynyrd hell yeah love southern rock n roll look at the talent on the stage
The Comments below are Beautifully Positive and TRUE ,,, From Ontario Canada ,, me i can not stop Listening to Skynyrd on the Farm where i live, Stereo in the Barn at the pond , Garage , House just can not stop ,,, never will Thanks Skynyrd Fans for keeping it Real.
The bad blood is between Gary and Artimus. The band that plays now isn't a fraction of what they were. Gary is just riding what Ronnie and Allen and he started and shouldn't even be playing under the Lynyrd Skynyrd name. Ronnie Van Zant is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I saw them In 77 with Ted Nugent. Totally will never forget these guys. Absolute Best!!!! Listen to them everyday!!!!
Artemis was the backbone of the band, not arguing with you there. I do so love Gary's piano playing, but Ronnie made singing lead for Skynyrd look easy and for him it was. There was no replacement for RVZ and I wish I could have heard Ronnie live just once.
Emily Clemens Thank you for your wonderful compliment. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by super talented musicians and my friends. God Bless you my friend and keep rocking; )
Artimus Pyle - you have ALOT of fans out there, from all over the country, and the world. You meant much more to that band than most fans know, including current members touring under a pseudo Lynyrd Skynyrd name. Thanks for your service in the USMC - and your contributions to one of the greatest bands of ALL time will never be forgotten here in Wisconsin.
HighMomentum1 Thank you for your compliment and dedication, We gave all we had that day, Anything I have accomplished in music I owe to Ronnie without him I probably would have just stayed a studio drummer but Charlie Daniels recommended me to Ronnie and he took me in and im forever thankful to Ronnie. God Bless you my friend and keep rocking ; )
the first album I ever bought was "second helping" saw em at Oaklands day on the green and to this day the music is still relevant and makes me want to go to a kegger party
Props to Artimus. Never really recognized for how skilled of a drummer he really is. Too bad there is so much bad blood with him and Ed. Would love to see them back in the band.
There was no bad blood between Artimus and Ed, they actually jammed together in the later years. Right before Ed passed. *And just for the record "Working for MCA" was an Ed King contribution to the band. (Amongst a half dozen other major hits).
I met Artimus either 88'' or 89' at one of their after the crash 'Tribute' shows at Alpine Valley Music Theater in WI. while hanging around outside the back stage gate. He was coming back from a walk around the golf course when I recognized him and asked him for an autograph. At the time I was in a Skynyrd tribute band and brought a poster for him to sign. He was very gracious as we talked for a few minutes before he had to go.
This was the best show performed that day and hands down best ever this is true rare music the caliber of this band and this performance will never be achieved ever !!!!! AMAZING!!!!
Mr. Guitarezz, I love your comment! So true, and so humorous! You gave me a good laugh, beside the absolute neccesity of playing this at maximum volume, but my good laugh was "Being under the influence of something optional...How hilarious! And how true!
For some reasons this song sends a warm rush up and down my spin every time I listen to it as my brain reacts to the song. I love this song while Steve Gains plays that guitar of his so well it is like his guitar is speaking to you. When the song ends ...it leaves you craving for more, more, wait, wait ...... don't stop now...awww, damn....... the end of the song...waaaaah. Cheers
+thechahal damn....you were there!! I've seen a lot of live rock and roll ....and this set is numero uno without question. Whiskey, Breeze and T for Texas......those three could keep me rockin into the next world.
One of the few bands that sounds every bit as good live as in the studio.
Max Allen naw. So much better live, like the allman brothers so much better live. You can hear their true sound
All that time in hellhouse paid off........
Even better live!
The Stones should have turned the bus around and gone home.
i agree lol
Stones never had a chance with the skynyrd guys on point! The best band and lineup they had! IMHO.
Like Ronnie's t - shirt said in a future concert " who the f..k are the rolling stones "
Were you there? Just wonderin. Van Halen first big show..78. I don't think we stayed for any of Sabbath's set..not after what we had just witnessed. Whole fkn crowd yelling for encore, they played Really got me again, with a whole different solo, and we're still screaming.

This video is heaven on earth
The greatest guitar line of all time!
That's my favorite Skynryd live set of songs! What an awesome line up of musicians... all of them. Gary, Allen, Steve, Billy, Artemis and Ronnie! Fucking bad asses. No funking costumes, dancing, nothing. 1976 kick ass music!
Fritz Freitag, you forgot about Leon playing bass guitar.
Deborah, like Ronnie said in "Gimme Three Steps," "I said excuse me"..... how did I forget Leon! He was great too. What a great band, still is, but I like the old 70's Skynyrd stuff so much....
Ronnie’s singing is effortless. It’s like he’s talking into the mic and not busting his vocal cords
the absolute best band of all time bar none if Ronnie wouldn't have been killed it's u telling what he could have accomplished look what they did in such a short time never anyone as good before him and definitely not after some great talent no doubt but not on that level and never will be we were so blessed to have the music and still have it today going strong almost fifty yrs later awesome all u can say
The 3 guitar attack along with Ronnie 'Feeling the stage' always barefoot....This is the best it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love most of Skynyrd's stuff but 'Working for MCA' is such a great song, love the dig at the music industry
So good! What a rocker, too! The scream intro is way ahead of its time! RIP RVZ
Right, the people that are paying them. lol
They would have blown every band away with this lineup! Steve gave them that boost they were needing and Ronnie's voice was strong! Love skynyrd period!
One thing that a lot of people dont know, and I've read just about all of the Skynyrd books out there, watched a bunch of interviews, etc. was that Steve Gaines, besides being extremely talented, really was a shot in the arm to Gary and Allen, who were kind of burned out.

@Yeah But no doubt about it. Check out some of Steve’s old band Crawdad. There’s quite a few videos. Cover tunes, originals, Steve could play and sing absolutely anything. And if you can believe it, his playing on those may be even better than what he brought to Street Survivors
Oh yeah. Judy made that comment in the movie
"We smiled at the Yankee slicker with a big ole' Southern grin." This is SKYNYRD....PERIOD!
This is it boys. your watching a one of a kind. never to see this type of talent ever ever again. Bad Ass. Teach your children about Ronnie Van Zant.
amen Harry thats what im screaming about tech your your children well no punn intended lol carolyn coruzzi
Don't forget about that there Allen Collins. I'm only 26 and I grew up on this stuff. Still rock it daily. My dad taught me right
hinney827 I play as well and my Dad taught me. Learning this stuff will make a man out of ya haha
I taught my little brother to name all the 1976 members of Skynyrd from a picture when he was 2, his favorite was always "Ronnie Van Zant!!"
My ten month old grand son first live concert was Skynurd 76 on you tube. Now he comes to jamm
One hell of a band. Unmatched. Never can be duplicated. Don't see any band today that could match their prowess. And as I've always said about them, with a beer in the air,"...Hell yeah!" Proud of them.
Man, Steve can play!
They all can ♥️💯
Yep RIP
And Collins and Rossington - deadly guitar assault!
Yes,I believe when he joined the group it gave them a better sound I'm a fan of ed king as well but I like Gaines better,there will never be a band as good as LS love to you from Tennessee Cherokee Nation
Yes Andi Steve Gaines a fresh
added strength to an already All Star band ! These guys gain 7 stars to their multi All STAR sound and " WHAT A CLASS ACT !!!
LYNYRD Skynyrd a n Awesome Band and Truly Fantastic, Long listen to Skynyrd they are a complete real deal and musical genius ... As rgute musical sounds exploit sheets Genius playing abilities and songs .!!!
Are missed and PAppreciated Enmensley. ! Thanks LYNYRD SKYNYRD ! A FANTASTIC BAND !
Carlito ✓. ♦️. 💎
I just Listened to this full blast with head phones on and pretty much had chills the whole time
Awesome isn't it best live show I have ever heard it's incredibly good
I have it cranked up in my JVC ear buds. Its 2-26-23 at 6:33 pm from Hagerstown Md ! Oh by the way I'm 67 6'1" 230 lbs black dude who been jamming these good oe'l boy for years. Didn't always care about the politics but I'm not here for that I'm here for the music and I'm boys could play.
not to take away from other great bands but this has to be the best lineup ever
+charley benfield 100% true...
The best intro ever! Allen was the man, respect to all the band!
Also the drummer and bass kept everyone in the pocket !
Ronnie Van Zant one of the most iconic and missed rockers in history. Skynyrd was so good.....Greatest southern rock band in history.
10...4 to that BABY !!...RVZ & LS without a single Doubt were the ABSOLUTE BEST IN MUSIC HISTORY...PERIOD! They'll NEVER EVER be any Equal !
I was there and i was astonished at Allen Collins playing sooo dynamic!.
Man what was it like experiencing all the songs they played in that lineup that day? I know you guys had a good ass time
Florida Boys❗️ Hard-rockin... saw them at the Hollywood Sportatorium just days before they crashed. At that time they were the very best rock concert you could go to•••• believe it🎸
greatest rock band of all time
They're one of the very few bands that sound just as good live as they do in the studio. Never heard a bad live version from this band, Excellent!!
justin horton i agree 100%
FACTS!
Every one of these musicians was damn near a virtuoso with their instruments and they don't get enough credit for that
The greatest southern rock and rollers ever. By far. Period.
I've seen them all live Zep - Stones - Aerosmith - The who - Metallica - Van Halen - AcDc - Etc Etc. Skynyd is the best live band ever and it aint even close
I've seen a lot of bands live too, including most of them you've listed above, and this is the tightest live performance I've ever seen out of a rock band. No question. Artimus and Wilkerson really keep the tempo perfect at all times. You gotta give props to them, because they are the two that keep the rhythm perfect
@sonny freeman You are not the only one who thinks that. Skynyrd is the greatest american band. They torched ass live! And they weren't put together by some record corporate assholes. They played Little League baseball together as kids. They are the real thing...as american as it gets!
I was leaning on the stage 30 feet away from Ronnie and he was barefoot as always!! 3 lead guitar players trading riffs all night!! I'll never forget it. The original band at it's peak of greatness. 3 months later they were gone. I cried.
"You Got That Right"!
same here brother although the stoned gave em a run for there more but being born and raised not only in the usA but also the DEEP south the award goes to LS
They were at their peak - outstanding power, vibe, groove and cohesiveness. These boys are sorely missed.
One of the greatest bands I've seen in my life!
Saw them July '77 at the Spfld Civic Center in Massachusetts. Foreigner opened for their first ever tour. Leaning on the stage. Never forget it. They had it all!! Little did I know they'd be done in 3 months. I respect all the other versions but there was only ONE for me. With Barefoot Ronnie holding that mic.
yep
Ricky Pisano I was to young only about 5 or 6 but my Dad grew me up on Skynyrd and to me they're the best band to ever do it. RIP SKYNYRD
only 1 ronnie van zant skynard are not the same without him rip rvz
The souths finest❤
Perfect opening number. One of the best ever!
This band was amazingly great sounding live on stage!!!!
I find myself going back to the start of the video just to see Allen stream the neck of his guitar. Simply magic.
The coolest move ive ever seen. After the slide down hes so quick back to the heel to slide again!
I know right....I can't get past it !
Dude I thought he was going to fall over as far back he bent to slide that neck 😳
This is the complete package guitars, vocals and lyrics. Nothing will ever come close. When they were on they were really on…they were very,very on this day in England 1976
they r that and a fucking bag of chips carolyn coruzzi
Apparently the Stones headlined that day and Skynryd blew them away....doesn't surprise me...
Chad Thomas. they were breakfast, luch, and dinner. and desert 3 times a week
Vocals and lyrics holy shit
I had the wonderful fortune to see them in Dallas, Texas in 1973, 1974, 1975 AND 1976!!~ It was always excellent!!!
Gaines just lets er go lol. They all so talented
So cool how 6 strings can make a hell of a rackett
18 guitar strings here
Lynyrd Skynyrd workin for MCA and I ain't the one live England 1976
The best guitar tone ever,noone touches this.
Drummer aint no slouch either ; )
Jake Rackham Thank you for your shout out, And I toast you back for your dedication, Keep rocking my friend and God Bless ;)
Best rhythm section in rock with you and Leon Wilkerson keeping the perfect beat - even live.
This performance illustrates that. Blue Yodel at this event has to be the best live rock performance of all time.
And I am NOT exaggerating. How did you guys keep it so tight that day? I say it all started with the rhythm section.
You are a rock legend, but you already know that don't you? Cheers - and Siemper Fi
set my utube ch on back burner awhile deleted ALL comment so no disrespect intended key points; a toast raised to Artimus Pyle and Skynyrd, agree smokin rhythms esp mid 70s and what Artimus said bout Ronnie and the band is too cool
That aint no shit. He could really bang em. Money tends to fuck things up though.
Love you Artie! I was just at the hell house property on Wednesday. This performance was a 10 out of a 10. Paid my respects to our friends in Jax, peace my brother. ❤️ 🇺🇸 💪
For more than thirty years ive been convinced that Allen Collins is the most underated guitarist in the world... its all about the dynamics with Allen.
All 3 guitarists in the band, not Ed though he was more of a writer than the other 3
Billy Powell never received enough recognition for his playing. Very few were better than him. The camera here didn't even care to show him playing.
PB& J. They all were so tight it's hard to pick one
PB& J. They lived to play and played to live
The keys were out of this world man. Multiple guitars jamming and doing solos. A1
I always loved every complimentary member of Skynyrd and especially appreciated Billy Powell's talents and contribution. Everything was in the cards for this band to come together like they did, but sadly we know the bad that also came. So glad for the lives of Ronnie, Cassie and Steve, but also for the rest of the band who lived to share their music with us for decades to come.
He was the backbone of Skynyrd. Imagine any song without his piano/keyboard playing...
Born & raised from Jacksonville, I just gotta say this, still til this day, there’s not a better band live than lynyrd skynyrd. Rolling Stones & this crowd experienced greatness this day.
MAN!!!!!.... THIS IS AWESOME MUSIC!!!!!!! THE LOUDER THE BETTER!!!! AWESOME BAND from Florida home grown! There ain't no denying it! Let the neighbors hear it !
Nothing better than classic skynyrd live
What a guitar assault! Allen Collins, Gary Rossington AND Steve Gaines !!
what a preformance by lynard skynerd blew the stone’s away definitely
Legends!!! I Listen to Skynyrd everyday!! I don’t think nobody will ever come close to their talent as a group.
The video and audio quality on this is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I hope and Pray that youngsters today listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd and dream about picking up a guitar or other instrument. The talent these guys had is becoming pretty rare. Amazing to me the sound that they created and they didn't copy it from anyone either!

Not really, kinda blurry.

I watch this once a week. So good
Put these guys right up there with Thin Lizzy as one of the best guitar bands in rock music.As a live band they gave you your money's worth and then some!!!
They are so bloody good - the sound makes me shiver 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
What an opening jam!! The best of the best.
the sound the hardcore down and dirty South
Christian e.g. it can't get any better than this, poor nick didn't have a dam chance
yep
Gaines makes that Strat sing, Collins on that Explorer - amazing - Rossington rocks the Les Paul like nobody else..Ronnie's intensity and anger are unmistakable...Artimus is a beast with Powell and Leon rock-solid ...how many thousands of times have these guys played these songs together to be not only that tight, but arrive at those tones, while still listening to each other and...it's Rock poetry ( or southern Rock poetry)...
So smooth ,he never had to jump around or force sound out .Just natural southern cool 😎
I get chicken skin, my hair stands on end and cold chills run up and down my spine every time I've had a couple of beers and automatically gravitate to this live show. It draws me like a magnet... irresistible . The greatest show on earth. Usually I listen to a lot of their albums with no visual but the album cover to build myself up to this greatest performance I've ever seen. Greatest live band to ever step foot on stage... or in a studio... or in a dive
There's never been a better live band than Skynyrd when they were on, and there were on on this day. Every song from this set is a gem.
@Lonesome John I think the reason that they were so on that day is because they were there as an opening act. To the audience, maybe you didn't come here for us, but when this day is over you will never forget us.
The greatest band in the land ain't KISS...It's Skynyrd!! The greatest southern USA rock band of all time playin' in England..How cool is that!! I love Johnny and his ragtag bunch but the Originals are the greatest!! R.I.P.
This was about 2 weeks before i started kindergarten. I was a little guy, but i was aware of who Skynyrd was. What a great sound.

13 thumbs down... really... best band ever
Mick told Ronnie you can't go out on the tongue 👅 first thing they did went out on the tongue....... Skynyrd hell yeah love southern rock n roll look at the talent on the stage
The Comments below are Beautifully Positive and TRUE ,,, From Ontario Canada ,, me i can not stop Listening to Skynyrd on the Farm where i live, Stereo in the Barn at the pond , Garage , House just can not stop ,,, never will Thanks Skynyrd Fans for keeping it Real.
Allen at the start... Wish he was still here. I would give him a hug.
Wow, this did me hard and brought me to tears, I thank God and you for posting, simply excellent
Saw the American part of this tour summer of 76' at Soldier feild in Chicago and they rocked it! Last Chicago concert before the Plane Crash.
Lynyrd Skynyrd at the top of their game here....Steve had just been signed up....He gave them the lead guitar that left with Ed King.....
Has there ever been anybody even remotely as cool as Allen Collins? Long live Skynyrd.
Dan Crowley maybe Jimmy Page? Certainly no one else!
Best live show
The bad blood is between Gary and Artimus. The band that plays now isn't a fraction of what they were. Gary is just riding what Ronnie and Allen and he started and shouldn't even be playing under the Lynyrd Skynyrd name. Ronnie Van Zant is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I saw them In 77 with Ted Nugent. Totally will never forget these guys. Absolute Best!!!! Listen to them everyday!!!!
+Frank Aiello What happened between artimus and gary
Artemis was the backbone of the band, not arguing with you there. I do so love Gary's piano playing, but Ronnie made singing lead for Skynyrd look easy and for him it was. There was no replacement for RVZ and I wish I could have heard Ronnie live just once.
Emily Clemens Thank you for your wonderful compliment. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by super talented musicians and my friends. God Bless you my friend and keep rocking; )
Artimus Pyle - you have ALOT of fans out there, from all over the country, and the world.
You meant much more to that band than most fans know, including current members touring under a pseudo Lynyrd Skynyrd name. Thanks for your service in the USMC - and your contributions to one of the greatest bands of ALL time will never be forgotten here in Wisconsin.
HighMomentum1 Thank you for your compliment and dedication, We gave all we had that day, Anything I have accomplished in music I owe to Ronnie without him I probably would have just stayed a studio drummer but Charlie Daniels recommended me to Ronnie and he took me in and im forever thankful to Ronnie. God Bless you my friend and keep rocking ; )
the first album I ever bought was "second helping" saw em at Oaklands day on the green and to this day the music is still relevant and makes me want to go to a kegger party
Classic performance!
Props to Artimus. Never really recognized for how skilled of a drummer he really is. Too bad there is so much bad blood with him and Ed. Would love to see them back in the band.
Artimus is a Marine.....nuff said.
djdavekool I think the bad blood is in between Artimus and Gary
djdavekool th-cam.com/video/TXY3SFz-jCI/w-d-xo.html Here they are playing together a couple years ago
There was no bad blood between Artimus and Ed, they actually jammed together in the later years. Right before Ed passed.
*And just for the record "Working for MCA" was an Ed King contribution to the band. (Amongst a half dozen other major hits).
I met Artimus either 88'' or 89' at one of their after the crash 'Tribute' shows at Alpine Valley Music Theater in WI. while hanging around outside the back stage gate. He was coming back from a walk around the golf course when I recognized him and asked him for an autograph. At the time I was in a Skynyrd tribute band and brought a poster for him to sign. He was very gracious as we talked for a few minutes before he had to go.
You talkin' jive baby, when you say to me...
A WORLD CLASS BAND OUT OF THE EVERGLADES
Ronnie V, my son is 11 years old loves cry for the bad man, me fan for life RIP RONNIE LOST BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
This was the best show performed that day and hands down best ever this is true rare music the caliber of this band and this performance will never be achieved ever !!!!! AMAZING!!!!
For maximum listening enjoyment turn volume to a maximum setting. Being under the influence of something optional...
Especially if you're under the influence of jack and coke. Or just straight jack.
Mr. Guitarezz, I love your comment! So true, and so humorous! You gave me a good laugh, beside the absolute neccesity of playing this at maximum volume, but my good laugh was "Being under the influence of something optional...How hilarious! And how true!
Rod Guitarezz
Oh , hell yeah!!!
Rod Guitarezz amen
RIGHT FROM THE FIRST NOTE,SO POWERFUL.
my God the drum roll at 3:05 is life changing
I had to go back about 10 times that drum roll had so much power and precision !
For some reasons this song sends a warm rush up and down my spin every time I listen to it as my brain reacts to the song.
I love this song while Steve Gains plays that guitar of his so well it is like his guitar is speaking to you.
When the song ends ...it leaves you craving for more, more, wait, wait ...... don't stop now...awww, damn....... the end of the song...waaaaah.
Cheers
at 2:05 Ronnie whistles at Steve Gaines to start his solo. too good.
gaines said they blew the stones away
+paul kelley They certainly did, I was there. What a day that was!
+thechahal damn....you were there!! I've seen a lot of live rock and roll ....and this set is numero uno without question. Whiskey, Breeze and T for Texas......those three could keep me rockin into the next world.
No way could the Stones keep this pace and intensity. They are a decent rhythm band with a strutting rooster/peacock frontman.
I wonder if Keith Richards wished he was in Lynyrd Skynyrd instead....
paul kelley stones blaaa
The best gig the band ever played, i was there, and the stones were shiting themselves to come on after that......
I bet they were....
Entwistle gave Wilkerson the bass he used for this concert.
How does this only have 26,000 views?
steveb234 Hell I've seen it that many times
steveb234 peaple don't know a fucking clue
I view it daily
Why? Why would someone dislike this, I'm only 14 and yet i still think Lynyrd Skynyrd is Legendary, not only do i think, it's fact.
What a band ! Every one of them were excellent
Nothing sounds sweeter than the triple threat in their prime.
Skynyrd kicks ass!!!!!!
Just brilliant amazing quality video...Love them
Not really, kinda blurry.
Fantastic.
Incredible.. Just saw em here in Denver. God bless.
I saw them as back up band to uria heap in san jose fairgrounds before they were famose in 1972 they blew us away they were so good
A force to e reckoned with Ronnie and his awesome mules guitar attack. No band like this will ever exist again .
Artimus pyle a living legend your banging on the drums i first heard lynard skynard when i was 10 now am 30 so 20 years of rocking
One of the greatest shows ever recorded and it was at a FAIR in England
Just got my tickets for the show in Riverbend this year . know it'will be there last show.. will always be the best
Omg .. that’s so good. And so true
When this band took over as the best
