There was NO "auto-tune" until 1997. Therefore, the sound from the instruments and vocals is real ( not altered by auto-tune to sound better like it is today). In other words, these are real musicians.
The last of Lynard Skynard died earlier this year 😢 They were the last of many genuinely talented artists of that Era (I'd say from the 50's to prolly the 80's. It was just a different quality of music 👌)
@@RiffSlayer74 Artimus Pyle, the drummer, is still with us but he joined another band instead of the reincarnation of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I love this reaction more than a lot I have seen.
When you see this footage and you see the stuff from Woodstock, it becomes hard to argue against the fact that our grandparents were in fact cooler than us
And that was only about 2 months before the tragic plane crash where we lost a master of vocals, the legend Ronnie VanZant.
RIP.
And legend is, that platinum blonde in the yellow shorts is now 70 yrs old, and she's still nursing that sunburn.
Maybe 65 😂 but yeah 🤣🤣🤣
No matter what concert I went to in the 70’s everyone was yelling free bird!!! Loved the 70’s. Wouldn’t change a thing!!!
You are right about that
Lynyrd Skynyrd came from a couple of the guys had a gym coach named Leonard Skinner and he was always on these boys about the length of their hair. Leonard Skinner actually gained a little fame from the bands name.
Billy Powell on piano and Allen Collins in all white killing it on guitar as well as Gary Rossington playing the slide guitar at the beginning, also Steve Gaines in the red pants and white shirt, Leon Wilkeson playing the bass, Artimus Pyle on drums and Ronnie Van Zant on lead vocals. Southern Rock is their genre.
Lots for you hear from this great band. I'll almost bet you've heard Sweet Home Alabama, maybe not. Simple Man another good one. Gimme Back My Bullets is good too, and there many more. Thanks for the reaction.
Right on
This may be the greatest live performance in all of history.
With the exception of the Outlaws in Passaic NJ
Queen
@@polocash11
Queen doesn't do Free Bird.
@@daseguin They did play live. Thats what you said, Best Live. Heart doing Stairway to Heaven was also great.
I went to that concert, 72 years old now. The concert groups were the Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, then Peter Frampton the lead act. When he came out to perform about 60% of the people left. Imagine watching 40,000 of the 75,000 people walk out as you perform.
I envy you being at this concert. What a great memory for you. The same happened when I saw Led Zepplin at Ohio University in 1968 in their first trip to the U.S. They opened for Jose Feliciano and everyone was so blown away by Zepplin that over half the people including the group I was with, walked out just because we were too blown away to listen to anything else.
I can't imagine anyone walking out on Peter Frampton. Frampton Comes Alive was the top selling album of all time for decades.
Billy Powell on piano. Allen Collins, guitarist in white. Their high school gym teacher was Leonard Skinner, and he enforced the school’s no long hair policy. They were constantly being sent to the principals office and expelled for their hair. They did not like him, of course. The band name was kind of a “middle finger in the air” for that coach.
Were they big? Rock, soul, country everything.. Yes Yes total package they were big
Billy Powell on piano
Nobody tickled the ivory quite the way Billy did.
@freebirdtony ya he was truly talented
Lynyrd Skynyrd roadie turned rock star! :)
Great reaction! This was Southern rock and I'm from the South. I saw them do this at Memorial Stadium (football) in Charlotte, NC on July 13, 1974. It was Under the Stars festival. It featured a lineup of ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rare Earth, Leon Russell, Elvin Bishop, and Billy Preston. That was about 12 hours of my life I would not trade for anything! Things were different then and in many ways a lot more fun. You probably know by now the band was in a plane crash 3 months after this concert. I'm looking forward to watching more of your reactions.
The 70's was the pinnacle of freedom.
Freebird is the most iconic songs ever!!!!!
Omg it was a baseball stadium. Back then whites and blacks played in bands together. We went for the music, didn't care about color. The country is more divided now.
Billy the piano player was a roadie. Group took a break he sat down and started playing the song, Ronnie heard him and said your NOW in the band.
The old Oakland raiders stadium
I saw them in concert that year, but in Orlando, FL. I was 13 years old. Life was different back then. More laid back, free... Thank you for sharing this memory with me. 😊
You're a baby girl. I was 20. When I heard about the plane crash cried like a baby
I had turned 18 just graduated HS in Jax, FL, where they are from. At 18 in FL, you were an adult, going to bars on nickle night, then writing my own absentee note. lol - please excuse me from school every Wednesday am, until graduation due to having too many men with pockets full of nickles and therefore way too much beer........ plus LS is back in town, and I had to get something cute to wear. It was just far more laid back than today, plus the best music in the world. TY ❤❤❤❤
I was born in 69. In the 70's heard them in arcades. Races are a lot more hostile now. I had a black gf in the late 80's. Notice no fat chick's. I maybe seen 8 in all my school years. My best friends in the 80's black, Mexican and Indian. We went to metal concerts such as Iron Maiden, Dio , Ozzy and many more. Chick's would flash or go Completely top less. Fun times.
Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Steve Gaines all on guitar and Billy Powell on piano.
There was no racism at a rock and roll concert in the 70's. You would have been welcomed with open arms. The movement was all about peace and love.
I agree, too bad we cant get back to those times. People came together it didnt matter what color, race, or anything else you were.
That's true. I was 16 then, and none of us young people cared about race. I did know one racist, but he was an old dude. Things are much worse today than they were then.
Agree, you would have been part of the crowd and had a blast. We partied together on weekends. It wasn't about color. It was the music and the friendships.
Southern Rock. As a Southern Black man, I appreciate good music. From R &B to go old rock. None of Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Drake, whatever out today. I was a little boy when this band did their thing. I heard Sweet Old Alabama on Conair the movie and got to into their music. They're that great
They were the best. The lead singer (Ronnie Van Zant) 3:22 , the guitarist with the short hair (Steve Gaines), and his sister and backup singer (Cassie Gaines) were fatally injured in a plane crash just three months after this. Most of the band survived the crash. 26 people on board, and there were 20 survivors. Not only were they big, they were HUGE. They’re Southern Rock / Classic Rock.
Love them southern boys! Great reaction! 🎸🎸🎸
They was Southern Rock which is a combination of Rock,soul, Country and blues they was really taken off this was filmed just a few months before the plane crash that took the life’s of the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gains and backup singer Cassie Gains long with their road manager Dean Kilpatrick and the two pilots on October 20th,1977
Allen Collins is soloing in all white ,the short hair guitarist is Steve Gaines on slide Guitar is Gary Rossington Ronnie Van Zant on vocals Artimus Pyle on drums Billy Pawel on piano and Leon Wilkinson on bass
They were huge and it was Southern Rock inspired by blues music, My dad was lucky enough to see them live, I wasn't born until 2 years after the plane crash but this is my all time favorite band
No decade in music will ever top the 70's
Those hotties are in their 70s right now. And maybe still going strong !!!!!God bless them
60’s - 70’s - I was 19 in 1977 and will be 65 this year. Edited bcz I can’t count 😂
Pushing 70 myself, and yes the current “grandmas” are the hotties in the crowd and a surprising number of the teens and young adults from the 70s era still party, ride their Harleys, etc, just a little slower!
First of all, you’re delightful. I loved your reaction. As someone born in the 1960s(!), I’m here to tell you that YES, we were young once, we listened to music & went to concerts ALL THE TIME, and we had a freaking BLAST. Tickets were cheap, like the price of the album. And we were lucky enough to hear the best bands of all times. How many concerts have I been to? I tried to remember/write them down, it was over 100.😊
Southern Rock band. All of them but 2 were killed in a plane crash in 78. They were huge
3 were killed in the plane crash from a group with 10 members(counting the backup singers). The crash was three and a half months after this concert on October 20, 1977.
Oh how I wish I could have seen them live.. The best music by far was 70 & 80's...Such great memories and fun times!
I saw them twice a couple of years before the plane crash. They were VERY loud but clean.
@@bobcorbin3294 My dad got to see them live, I was born in 79 so I wasn't as lucky
They guy that went crazy on the guitar in all white is Allen Collins
Remember young man. There was no Hip Hop or Rap on the lables when these great bands roamed the earth. This is pure Southern Rock and Roll. Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed in Jacksonville Florida.
Allen Collins did the guitar solo at the end. And it was done effortlessly because he wrote the music to the song. Gary Rossington was doing the slide guitar work from the beginning. Southern rock was their style. These musicians and this band truly were one of the greatest live performing bands of all time and my personal favorite. Most people say this is the best live version of Freebird. I disagree. Go watch live at Knebworth. You will not be disappointed.
I was at this Day On The Green concert at Oakland Colusseum, July 2 & 4, 1977. That weekend also had Frampton, Santana, and The Outlaws. I went to 12 of those concerts.
They got the name from the PE coach at the school they went to in Jacksonville, Florida that give guys that had long hair trouble . They did it as a joke to start with and his name was Lenard Skinner
Haha. I look at old footage and think the same thing..." I used to be so young"
Long before your time. 1970s. They got their name from misspelling their High School teacher's name. The guitar is being played slide-style. They played what is called Southern Rock. It's a mix of Country, Honky Tonk, Blues, Rock N' Roll. Good stuff. Lynyrd Skynyrd sure brought the girls out to the show. Check out the crowd. Girlies everywhere.
Slide guitar also called bottle-neck guitar; old Bluesmen and Country artists usually picked up a glass pop bottle or beer bottle and broke off the neck and put it on their middle finger or whatever suited them. Here, Gary Rossington (red guitar, he's wearing a black shirt with white splotches) seems to be using a small glass or plastic pill bottle.
You just witnessed greatness
😂😂these people were once young. Don't I know it!! 😂😂
We still cool!!! ❤️✌️
Southern Rock.
18:31 Their style of music is generally known as "southern rock" and Skynyrd was huge:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynyrd_Skynyrd
We also called it "Southern Fried Rock".
@@89801wink Of course. It might be called by different names depending on where you are. I'm from Michigan.
southern rock at it finest
Best concert I ever saw. I saw them in 1975. Their albums were great but their performances live were even better than the albums, if you can imagine that. Allen Collins, wearing all white, wrote the music when he was 18 or round about. Ronnie Van Zant, the singer, said that he couldn't write any lyrics because the music had to many change ups. Allen's girlfriend/wife and him had an argument. She had wrote on a napkin, If I leave her tomorrow, would you still remember me. Allen took the napkin with him to band practice, showed Ronnie, Ronnie then write the lyrics, and history was made.
Billy Powell on the piano. I am so proud to live in the same area of Jacksonville Florida where they grew up and made their music. Hard to believe they are all grandmas now but back in the 70s we knew how to have fun.
Pure talent!
The lead singers brother, Johnnie is now the lead singer and lives a couple of blocks from me. The tall lanky guitarist in white is Steve Gaines. He was one of the three who died in the plane crash along with his sister and lead singer Ronnie.
You talk about rascism in the 70s, no sweetie there was none. We had that shit licked!
You could have walked right up to a single lady and if you asked for a kiss, you would probably have gotten it.
As far as the name is concerned, they named their band after their high school coach. Leonard Skinner. A form of giving him the bird.
That is Allen Collins on the ending solo, and Garry Rossington on the slide in the beginning. They had 3 guitarists and 1 bass player.
Southern rock is nothing but blues mixed with gospel.
They were called southern rock, but they did blues and rock .they were big and getting bugger until sep 1977 and a plane crash took the Freebird from us, lead singer Ronnie van zant, Steve Gaines guitarist, his sister Cassie Gaines back singer the road manager and the piolets
I did see 1 black man in the concert he was The smart one! marijuana Makes friends!!
"Were they big?" 😂😂😂
Look at and listen to the crowd !
Considered "Southern Rock" I REALLY THINK YOU'LL LOVE "THE BALLARD OF CURTIS LOWE" and you keep making me feel old! 😂
That was the late great Alan Collins rocking your world. And the underrated Billy Powell on the keys
My good 'ole Southern Rock! I was from Alabama; we used to sing out loud when Sweet Home Alabama came on the radio. Great times!
The one that knew it was doing the bird chirping in the red guitar was was Gary Rossington. He passed away March 5, 2023, Donald.
I just noticed that pull tab on the Budweiser can! 😂 I all but forgot about those. My Dad loved Bud. And the beer too! 😂
😂😂😂
I remember those…I was a PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) beer man back then……those were the days for sure! Cheers
Sweet home Alabama, simple man, give me three steps, the hit list was deep
No question best live song in concert ever
Led Zeppelin. Stairway to heaven .😢
LYNYRD SKYNYRD IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SOUTHERN ROCK BANDS EVER!,TOTALLY AWESOME!.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, pronounced like Skinnard, is a Southern Rock group, and they are still a pretty big group, but back then they counted with some of the top names with a lot of top 100 chart toppers.
They are a southern rock band
Yes they were big band . It a Southern Rock and Roll. The late Billy Powell on Piano, Allan Collins,Steve Gains on guitar, Leon Thumper Wilkinson on Base, Gary Robertson on Lead guitar and Artimus Pyle on Drums. The main guitar is Gary Rossington he just passed away Last March. The main singer is none other than the late great Ronnie Van Zant. The band is still going on with Ronnie's baby brother Johnny singing. Check them out.
Honey I don't know who told you we were racist in the 70s. But I can tell you right now one of those girls would have probably went home with you! ❤ The reason the bands of my generation are still around 40 and 50 years later is because they made the best music ever played enjoyed your show
Billy Powell on Piano he was classically trained
The guy playing slide guitar is Gary Rossington and he just passed away this year. The drummer Artimus Pyle is still with us. The singer's brother leads the current version of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
LYNYRD SKYNYRD is the best American Rock Band, ever.
Most concerts were held in stadiums equal to or larger back then. I attended my fair share.
Allen Collins: Guitar Wizard lol
They are massive one of the most legendary and icon southern Rock bands ever noting but bangers and hits
And yes it was the Oakland Raiders stadium.
They are a southern rock band!! Lynyrd skynyrd, allman brothers band and the Marshall Tucker band are considered the holy trinity of southern rock!!!!
Huge band! Amazing catalog of songs.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was their physical education teacher in high school they spelled it differently
Allan rossington on guitar
Gary Rossington first half on slide, Allen Collins second half solo.
Billy Powell on piano, and Allen Collins, a guitarist wearing white clothes.
That’s that real music….Classic Rock or whatever we call it…if it’s good….turn it up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
The name come from their PE teacher in high school in Florida that give them a hard time about their hair and music etc. several of these died three months after this concert in a plane crash October 77… the guitar in red pants died and his sister that was back up vocal in like sweet home Alabama, the vocal Ronnie VanZant died and the others were hurt but survived. I seen them in concert 3 times before the crash and the modern Lynyrd Skynyrd has his younger brother singing and a third brother is lead singer for the group 38 special…. I have tickets to see 38 special in May 2024 and will see ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd in April 2024 all of them in Alabama! I’m 70 years old this birthday and still love my southern rock and roll concerts!
Allan Collins in White, Red is Leon Wilkerson, White is Steve Gains. Piano is BILLY Powell Flowered shirt is Gary Rossington. Main singer is RONNIE VAN ZANT
Hey Dawg, back i doent remember racism, black p there they just bleading in, peace, love Dope❤
You DEFINITELY would have been more than welcome to one of their concerts. Lol. Lots of black folks attended their concerts in Philadelphia!!! Everyone always got along bc we all appreciated good music!! 🧡
Let it play to the end. Dudes are passin'a doob. 🤠
You would be wrong. Of course there was some racism but for the younger generation there wasn't any. We were all just young people living a simple, carefree life. We were all one.
It was the age of the "supergroup." Filling a stadium was nothing back then. If you were very luck, like me, you got to see them in small, but exceptional venues like the Fox Theater or Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta, in addition to the Omni and the Fulton County Stadium. I saw them many times.
All 3 those guitars doing their own thing and in such harmony with one another you think it's just 1 guy, na, it's all 3
I love your reactions. They are very genuine and entertaining...🤟
These folks are all grandparents now!
You need to stay in their Rabbit Hoke brother if you've never heard of them!!! All time great bands!!
YES, they were big, and they played Southern Rock. They were from Jacksonville, FL.
I want to tell you back in the ‘70s we had too much good music, partying, and love to focus on racism. I’m serious. I think then most black people were into soul, funk, the rest of the awesome sounds of the 70’s. ✌🏼
Best band around. Lead singer never wrote any lyrics down. They were all in his head. The lat original member just passed away last March 5 2023. Do some reading on Lynyrd skynyrd.
country rock my friend and they were climbing the charts and on the verge of being one of the biggest in the time of the Eagles and their plane crashed killing half the band.
I saw them on July 3, 1975 at the Oklahoma City fairgrounds speedway. ZZ top was there too! I was 21.
Racism was not a big thing in the 70’s. It was a time when we pretty much all got along. You would have been perfectly welcome. I miss it.
Yes sir Ronnie, we still remember you
I was only 25 then..wow. we were so innocent you just wouldn't believe it. Even with all the drugs etc. I'm. from Georgia..and want you to know...don't be put off by the flag, most of us just called it rebel. Out of all my friends I only knew one who I knew was racist. The rest of us just wanted to get along together and enjoy this magical time we lived in. Oh how I wish we could be that way again.
Southern Rock ! Yes they were BIG ,REALLY BIG ! SO BIG THAT THE ROLLING STONES REFUSED TO GO ON STAGE BEHIND THEM ,IN KNEBWORTH U.K
You would have been fine there. There was a black dude right up front at the 15:08 mark. I think there was actually less hate back then.
Just an interesting tid bit. Ronnie Van Zant the lead singer always performed bare foot. He said he liked to feel the music. My favorite band of all times.
Next… Queen live aid. Then prince halftime show. Then “While my guitar gently weeps” with Prince… 🤷♂️
Most people will tell you Don't pause on a guitar solo but this is about 10 minutes long so I understand
This is "southern rock." I saw all the great bands during the seventies. Concerts virtually every few weeks. Too many to mention. Check out Johnny Winter, Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, ZZ Top, Aerosmith.
Dude, you’d have had nothing to worry about talking to the women in the 70’s. WAY more relaxed.
