On August 21, 1976, Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage at Knebworth as part of a daylong festival which also included Todd Rundgren’s Utopia, 10cc and The Rolling Stones. The show has gone down in Lynyrd Skynyrd history as one of the band’s greatest performances. The 1976 Knebworth show features Ronnie Van Zant’s iconic vocals and their famed triple guitar attack of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Steve Gaines in front of a crowd estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Their entire performance from that day is here for you to witness the classic Lynyrd Skynyrd in all its glory with cleaned up visuals and remixed audio, available on DVD+CD, Blu-ray+CD and DVD+2LP. - เพลง
I'm somewhere in the crowd . Never forget the day.
im in that there crowd too. Lynyrd Skynrd woke up the crowd, me and my mates shouted yes,,,,come on,,,lets go,
Cassie was amazingly beautiful. It was such a cool camera perspective to see her grooving while her brother was tearing it up on his strat. It must have been so nice for her to have her brother, and vice versa for Steve. What an awful tragedy.
not beautiful and she dressed like a milk maid. yes, sad that she and her brother were killed in the crash along w/ the others who died. RIP
DITTO !! ❤
Is she the one nearest stage? My god all them backing singer's were feckin cool.
She was in the middle
Jo jo Billingsley was to her left and Leslie hawkins was to her right
This is the textbook performance by a rock band. Nobody can touch this. It should be studied hard by anyone who aspires to be a bandmate. A huge part of the icing on the cake is The Honkettes, greatest backing vocals- EVER!!!😊
Those crowds showing up for the concert were epic, and that golden age will never happen again
Yup

And a lot of other people to play in the band ... Johnny Van Zant was crazy ... there is, I would call anyone on the corner to play in his band. eh eh eh

Look at that crowd!!! The Good Ole Days!!...
@White Stone don’t you dare start that here let’s just appreciate to be still alive and have music legal right now
What did White Stone say?
Do you know approximately how many people that was?
@@jamesworsham2312 It was estimated at close to 200,000.

I was there. Best Knebworth ever.
LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER RONNIE VANZANT AND THOSE THAT WE LOST IN THE PLANE CRASH ✨ WE WILL NEVER FORGET...
Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines too...
From Northern Italy.... I ❤️ Southern Rock... Lynyrd Skynyrd and the US

Love them backup singers! 😍
Honk if u love em

Jojo was gorgeous.
a minute of silence for those who still do not know this beautiful rock band 🤘
If they don’t know this band, they deserve silence FOREVER!!!!!!!
@@JCDwyer 🤘Got that right.
Yes sir , don't let that flag touch the ground .

70s skynyrd is the best live band ever.
Watching on October 20th 2021 to show my respect for Ronnie and the other band mates and team of the best rock and roll band of all time . Lost but not forgotten forever in our hearts the music will live on
He died the same day I was born. Not the same year but still.
Post plane crash isn’t Skynyrd
@@williambentley3963 They are not is good but they are keeping this music alive. Gary Rossington is like Keith Richards, how many times as he cheated death? The Rolling Stones aren't what they were in the 70's either.

@@Sapphiresoul2 I truly miss you and always will Ronnie and your boys!!!!!!!
A beautiful day in my music education
Sweet home Alabama where the sky is so blue
Yes !!!
I remember as a teen in Orlando, we would drive carloads of people into an orange Grove and party into the morning. I had an old tank, a '66 Rambler. I had a power booster and two big home speakers I would put on the top of the car. Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Outlaws, and Pat Travers. Incredible times. The smell of orange blossoms.
That was the good old concert days when Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Outlaws and Led Zeppelin and the Eagles would do there concerts. I miss those good old days.
Me too! Now they live in our minds, in our memories, on our CDs (and cassettes/albums if we still have them), and on TH-cam. 🥰
Not The Eagles, man,
It's been a long night....
Lol. ❤🙏
Ill never understand what makes a camera man pan towards everything but the lead guitar player ! Yessssss My man Stevie Gaines killing it . He was so frickin good .
He really was. Crazy good. What could have been we will never know
Love this song , love Lynyrd Skynyrd , one of the best bands there have ever been , Ronnie Van Zant will always be remember
@White Stone agree 100%
I wish I had 25 cents 4 every time I heard this song, I'd be in the Bamhas, on a hammock, drinking 🍸 😫
THE BEST BAND, ever!!!!
Great musicians doing their thing!
Lynyrd Skynyrd was and is the best rock band that has ever existed. RIP all you wonderful members that have passed and on live your memories!
Grew up and graduated in the 70s. Favorite song of all Time!
Yes I agree!!
Definitely not. Not by a long shot.
@@ebisu8824 nah they are lmao
Judy, I agree especially with the short time they were here! Little bands like the Rolling Stones ,The Who ,Charlie Daniels Band all made mistakes by letting Ole Skynyrd go on first and they lived to regret it ! I just wish on that tragic evening Ronnie would have listened to people around him instead of the management company! Yes I'd put this band up there on a pedestal! Just look at there history going back to the Hell House ,Alan ,Gary and Steve three guitarist that were as good as any ! They had projects with Merle Haggard and Ronnie had spoken with, yes Neil Young about upcoming albums! Again only one thing could slow them down and it did on that tragic evening that became dark of night !
The addition of Steve Gaines made everyone in Lynyrd Skynyrd step up their game and as a result made them freaking Legendary
God, that was even better than I remembered it. We were so lucky in those days, and didn't realise it...
We so were ...awesome day and night
No doubt about it. Better days. Not a care in the World.
Now life is just crap Thanks to the evil overlords destroying everything good
Ed Kings Guitar´s missing!
Indeed.
Beautiful people…crowd…band..vid crew…all of you watching….❤️
How great it was to have Steve Gaines, Alan Collins, and Gary Rossington together!
Beyond Great..
And
Ronnie Van Zant
Guys I meant no disrespect towards Cassie or anyone else. I'm a guitar player, was just mentioning some of my heros. Sorry if I've offended anyone.
Agreed, but I still prefer Ed.
Oh absolutely!
Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Good friend of mine played college football against the Tide in Bama in 1985 ….When the players were in the runway waiting for the teams to come out this beautiful anthem started blaring on the stadium speakers… and 72,000 people started to sing in unison….. was one of the truly greatest 6 minutes of this young northerners’ life …. Definitely need moments like that again in this once great country
Stadium has gotten bigger since then. Now over 100,000 singing

ROLE TIDE
❤ that memory!!! Thank you for sharing
I’m 62, just had my 3 grandkids for a week during spring break. I’ve always played my song list while they are at my house. They never say anything. Well, now my oldest grandson is 13. I had Sweet Home Alabama cranked while they were outside, he comes in the door and says “Who is that”? I said the best southern rock band that ever lived, he walks away with his feet moving and shoulders just a going!! I cracked up!
This is 70s ass kicking music 🎵
My two favorite bands Skynyrd of course and The Doors. You can’t go wrong with either. The talent is unmistakable!
@@robert.m4676 my 2 favorites were Skynard and Marshall Tucker Band. I'm here reminiscing the day the last original band member Gary Rossington passed, I grew up in the 70's. Brings back memories of UWEC Eau Claire Wi dorm rooms cranking Freebird on the Marantz's , JBL's or whatever speakers we had. Before social media when we had the greatest music and the greatest times. Geez I miss 1977.
@@swordfish2089 yeah man I miss those days too. I always loved Marshall Tucker too. I believe social media has made people extremely unsociable. We had to go out making friends in person. I loved growing up during the time before all this nonsense.
@@robert.m4676 I hear ya bro.
Greatest to ever do it on stage.... My god I love them live. Im 25 and I'd kill to go back in time to watch them.... OMG I LOVE THEM
I was there what a great festival
It was wild and free just like the song honey. I'm 72. Lol!
@@janetprice85 Same here Janet, I'm 68, what a wonderful time in our lives !
Eazy.. that makes me feel good that at 25 you are jamming to one of the best rock and roll bands of all time. I can't imagine how many more great songs they would have wrote if that awful damn tragedy didn't happen. I said this once before in a reply. I'm 64 from the northern most part of MI. I be lived in Florida since 1977. It didn't matter what part of the country you hale from L. S. Was loved by all of us hard core rock and rollers... God bless them
16 year old here, guess its kinda rare amongst my generation, but i love skynyrd's stuff too.
R.I.P. Mr. Gaines, you sure knew how to make a Stratocaster sing!!!
He sure as hell did didn’t he. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 !
Froggen eh bro
WE NEED GET THESE DAYS BACK IN ENGLAND
the best triple guitar band ever..each one has a distinctive tone...rip allen collins and steve gaines,cassie gaines and ronnie,leon,ed and billy
Still get tears in my eyes listening and remembering having been there in '76 ... A wonderfull experience 😍
fortunate bastard! ;-)
Lucky man ! This is one of the gigs I would of loved to have seen!
Hallo Patrick, ik was er ook bij en we stonden wat in het midden en ik stond helemaal uitbundig te mee te swingen maar het leek of de mensen om me heen het nummer niet kenden. Het was in Nederland al een hit geweest maar daar nog niet denk ik. Was wel prachtige om te zien en ik vergeet het nooit weer !
Groet, Pieter Den Haag
My God I love this band. Their music was the soundtrack to my teenage years. Loved them then, and love them now. Pure awesomeness!!
Wish those who weren't there could of been. So proud of the times and the generation. Wish we could do it again.
RIP Gary, thank you for the awesome music!
It never gets old, thank you men.
Girls in those days were much slimmer not like today, this was my era born in 1951 I remember that hot summer 1976 made in England .just reminds me of the similar video of the band in the US around the same time. that's on TH-cam
Not only were girls slimmer back then they also didn't have weewee's
My hometown is sweet like Alabama. The band looks so happy here, especially The Honkettes. Cassie looks like she is having the time of her life. But destiny was right before their eyes. R.I.P. to all the members that are gone. I can't believe that only Artimus Pyle and Leslie Hawkins are alive. Your memory will live forever. Southern rock rules! Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of a kind. Period.
The crowed really showed respect ❤
I am sure Alabama is thankful for the song
I have a friend my age (50s) trying to turn me on to bands today I already know and appreciate, dude wasn't a big Skynyrd fan. I sent him back to re-evaluate and he admitted he was wrong and was now going full tilt into their catalogue. I almost envy him for finding such a gem on these dark times. But I am glad I always had Skynyrd as my favorite, it's burned in my heart, where it belongs.
i wish music like this was still around
Yeah, few band Actully play real instruments
Um.. it is, you just watched a 6 minute video, it's just a search query away. This music is still here and it ain't goin' away!
It is, you are just not around
It is just look for it
@White Stone they do
A legendary song from a legendary band! Praise SKYNYRD!
What a tragedy for the family loosing 2 people at the same time God bless them
The guitar work on the live versions is always great
and the sound quality is surprisingly AWESOME!!
and that my young friends is what is called real music, played by super talented musicians who didn't mime or need auto tune, the greatest band ever to grace this planet, rip ronnie, Allen, leon,steve, Billy and ed.
Thanks old fart....
Lost Bob in 2017....
Sad part is that they’ll never feel what we felt in those times. I’d give anything to go back
i hate it when we lose talented guitarists, there's more trash singing then in the ocean now like lil pump shut up I want 80's Metallica and basically any guitar band that is not on autotune and has skill
Boston is even better in my opinion. Just listen to Peace of Mind live. It’s inhuman. Lynyrd skynyrd is really good too.
You were a big part of my life and will always be God bless I all!!!!!
Best guitarists ever in this band. Each one of them bought their own thing!
They honed their tight sound by practicing their butts off. Ronnie Van Zant was a stickler for accuracy, & it sure paid off.
don't forget Ed King. He was phenomenal too.
Great solos on the sweet outro at 4:41. The great Lynyrd Skynyrd hitting those notes! Leon Wilkeson blowing doors.
We didn’t know how good we had it, as in appreciation for the music we grew up with
ONE OF THE BEST LIVE BANDS I EVER SAW. THEY’RE AWESOME 👍👍👍
I was 15 years old when I seen them in a live con cert and they were awesome 1975 when I seen them
Thats how a crowd should be
quarter of a million there.....we were half a mile back....but the sound system was superb......and Skynyd blew it all away......
True legend ‼️‼️ ROLL TIDE ROLL ❤️
Wow! Everything was so real and natural back then. The music, the sound, the women, the men. Just look at the size of that crowd! So beautiful! LS!!! ❤❤
It's so sad that the ones who were taken away in the plane crash still had a lot of good music for us and Steve and Cassie Gaines I wished they could've here today with Ronnie.
This is the coolest concert ever! The audience each person danced to their own groove. Nobody did anything stupid👍
Best lineup of Skynyrd! Miss them so much 😢
My favorite video! As a high schooler I had a plan to go to a concert the following summer with a armful of flowers for my Cassie. ❤️ Then that damn plane fell out of the sky. Hope someday my dream will come true.
10/20/77 was a long time ago when those guys lost their lives, but the music is still fresh and alive.
I could watch an entire show of just shots of JoJo. She's so beautiful and the way she moves and loves the music is mesmerizing
Greetings from Malaysia. It may be Southern rock but it rings throughout the world. Never gets old!
My favorite band ever, Ed King was great guitar player but Steve Gaines was phenomenal guitar player and he had an amazing voice, ain't no good life, wow.
I still miss these guys so much.
I know they lived hard & made mistakes but man it was like they were cursed. Poor Allen lost Ronnie then just a few yrs later he loses his high school sweetheart & their child.
He lived through the crash to them lose his family. So tragic.
I never knew till resently that Leon was the most severly injured, his heart stopped twice in OR. Not sure what year but he was on bus sleeping & Ed found him with his throat slashed, he almost died, Ed said in interview, he always thought Leon's wife did it & she tried to blame Ed.
Bob Burns had tragic life as well, all of them. Now Gary only original left.
I often wonder what would have happpened if they had made it to Baton Rouge safely.
Heard several interviews they were trying to get off the booze & drugs, then the crash happened, so ironic. Ten frickin min left in the flight. Just so much tragedy. Ronnie told multiple people he wouldn't live to see 30, he even told his dad, he was 3 like mos shy of 30. It's crazy.
Bless the Lord, we gave all these videos and the music to keep their memory alive forever.
I helieve in a 100 yrs people will still be rockin out to their sings, it's like a treasure that gets past from one generation to the next.
There is a new generation of young kids just discovering them.
Yes! I love some good Lynyrd Skynyrd on a Friday afternoon
Southern born and Southern breed, thank you lord and Roll Tide! Lynyrd Skynyrd greatest band of all time .
The best band ever 🤩
This is exactly why I love TH-cam . Not only can we watch footage of classic gigs, but also get comments from people who were there 😀
It was a great day and a great concert called Knebworth Fair. I will never forget it.
When I go to Heaven and I’m floating by on my big white puffy cloud….all I want to hear is LYNYRD SKYNYRD
Man... Steve Gaines was so incredible. Hard to express how much I admire him.
Ronnie & Gary had just made Steve a full member of the Band before the tragic flight ! They told him but didn't have the paperwork to make it legal,Steve told them there word was all he needed and the rest is history! Ronnie took care of his people and you DID NOT mess with his folks !
😭❤️🔥😭❤️🔥 RIP RONNIE
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd at Rich stadium in Buffalo, I think it was this same tour, 1976? It was one of the Summerfest at the stadium shows and the headliner was Blue Oyster Cult who was amazing. One of my favorite memories from that show is the Honkettes with their dresses blowing in the breeze in the background, singing the backup vocals and this video captures that memory perfectly!
Saw them live here in Phoenix back then
Always thought Leslie Hawkins was as hot as a lit firecracker
I was there in 76 ! Wonderful performance! It had been a hit in Holland already but it seemed that many English People didn't know them.
The anthem of my youth! Seen them in concert with Ronnie Van Zant opening for the Stones at RFK stadium and they stole the show, they were phenomenal
It was a great gig , Skynyrd blew the most of the bands off the stage that day .
And today they have the nerve to call today's music Rock N Roll. This was a Real band and played real Rock N Roll.
This is perfection. Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines shown in several shots makes this so special
I sure miss the original band!! R.I.P. Ronny ! In the 60’s & 70’s we had the best of Rock~N~Roll and theirs NOT one ☝️ band that holds a feather to this Band!!
Ooooooooooo k
RIP Gary 🦅❤
Steve's solo in this is badazz !!! The man was incredibly talented !!!!
The best music.
Sweet Home BOSANSKA KOSTAJNICA
Quality. I can't imagine what the locals of Knebworth thought back then!
.. as my mum would say .. BLOODY 'ELL!!! lol
RIP Mr. Ed King. Thanks for the riff.
This is when musicians played with their hearts and NO electronics
Real talent
Great band,beautiful day, a crowd of good people there to enjoy the music!
Aw,the good ole days !
Way,way better than this crap today!!!
Ronnie really blew every band off the stage mick jagger was so pissed they were supper to be opening act and the crowd went crazy and that was Ronnie his goal was to that while they were earning their bones playing with support to be much larger acts Ronnie would blow them off stage the pride of Jacksonville Fla.
The single greatest set in rock and roll history.
Hey I'm 60 can remember like yesterday to all of that live it don't need to hear some more about love this video
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
@@Michaelcartellone-vr1ce I think she'll respond p thank you again
@@wendysmith2634 I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
I was here here with the original line up in 1976 long live the new band and Southern sound love from Suffolk, Eastern England
I'm from South Louisiana And I love this song.
Good old times of true rockn'roll !
I absolutely agree!
The hardest working band who ever lived. My opinion. Perfect voices for this material. Best country rock ever before this was "country rock".
There will never be another Southern Rock band like Skynyrd. Rest easy now. You have left us with great memories. And playable "vinyl"
My cousin and I love this song
R.i.p. Gary Rossington
One of my first favorite bands.They were nice and bad ass as ever. I with I could meet the female back up singer to hear stories visit and look at pictures or videos would be a answered prayer❤
13 years old, and fucking love Skynyrd 🤘🤘
Same im 13
14-year-old here. Got into Southern rock when I was about your age
Thank You for this AWESOME upload! Southern Rocker 4-ever!👍💓🤗🙏✌️
Lynyrd forever
can't wait to get the Blu-ray +CD coming April 16. Remastered looks very good.
Classic Skynyrd rules all music!
