The fact that it sounds this good, Live, close to 5 decades later now. Says everything that needs to be said. This was a band. This was talent, and skill, and performance, on full display. No autotune, no fancy nothing, just some Talented Musicians on stage jamming, thats all it was and it was everything.
20October1977. The day OUR music died. I will be 63 in September by the way. Grew up in Atlanta from 1971 to 1989. Everyone played Atlanta during that time. The magical 70's....
Allen was a beast man way underrated an on vh1 lol he was second to hendrix with the best guitar solos of all time with the free bird solo ,,, his fucking style man inm from the south an he was the shit
We were so lucky to be alive during that time. The music these folks made was a part of my adolescence. The news was shocking. But here I am in 2024. Still just as great as it was then.
i remember hearing the news the night of the crash! I didn't know who died although I assumed it would have been more people, but I never thought the cause of the crash would be running out of fuel! The next morning before school everyone was in the cafeteria waiting for the bell to ring. Somebody asked, "Who died"? My stupid cousin said, "I bet old Leonard didn't die. Nothin' could kill him!" Well my stupid cousin was wrong! There was no Old Leonard, but the guy he thought was "Old Leonard" didn't make it as I would find out a few hours later! A tragic day that really shook me! A couple of years later, tragedy struck again when Bon Scott died! The 2 greatest front men in rock n' roll were gone forever!.
Couldn't AGREE with you more! I'm 62 & they were the first concert I went to when I was 13! Saw them 3 times before the plane crash! 💯☝️🎶🎸🎤🥄💉 R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd 💔🕊️
Man even the latest would say let’s share that greatest moniker with the Allman brothers. Imagine if you will alternating opening bands. Skynyrd tours with the Allmans hmmm mmm I bet Ronnie wouldn’t love opening for anyone. To be fair it is the Allman brothers you’re talking about
@@markcorbin930 The line up of King, Collins and Rossington was great and it got even better with Gaines, Collins and Rossington. I'll take either trio.
@@atlasshrugged1855 - All of them was the best Musicians Ive ever seen! Show me a better Bass Player than Leon or Piano Player than Billy! We will never see another Southern Rock Band like this!
Ronnie is my all time favourite vocal, Steve Gaines is one of the best guitarist that ever was. But I should admit, Allen Collins is the one who defines Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound!
"I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool, but then again Lord I've seen a lot of fools." This is a great line from this song that has a lot of truth to it.
One of my closest friends died that way long long ago... Last time I'd seen 'n' met him was in a bus,I was standin' right at his side 'n' talked to him. He turned 'n' looked around to see who's talkin' but didn' t recognise anyone... One day my Mom asked me: "Do you know what has happened to Robert...?!?" I looked her straight in the eye 'n' answered:"He's dead..." Her eyes widened 'n' she was quiet all at a sudden... The moment she asked me t h a t question I knew what was goin' on... Still miss him...
This is such a mesmerizing performance. The engineer who was at the controls that night absolutely nailed it. You can hear every instrument perfectly. Billy and the piano keys come in clear. The Honkettes are crisp and at the same level as Ronnie. He is a puzzle. So tough yet so gentle almost. It’s still so sad that they had no idea what fate had in store for them. What a loss. Who knows what further greatness they would have achieved. All time great group! ❤ 🙏
The engineer was probably Kevin Elson who was Skynyrd's sound man for years. He was a producer for the "Street Survivors" album and was on board when the plane went down. He went on to be an engineer/producer for Journey and worked with a number of other popular bands.
Artimus was a very dear friend to Ronnie and Judy ruined everything. She is a blood sucking vampire and actually in Jan of 20 21 moved ( for the 2nd time) Ronnie's grave, " Melody and I were never happy about the spot he was in" so he was moved away from his parents and oldest daughter Tammy's plots- to an isolated area in same cemetery, the new grave 10 feet away from what she called a "peaceful lake"- it's a black moldy pond that looks like stagnant water. She is a VIPER
@Mark Cianfarani Same for me when I first saw Marshall Tucker in Tampa Stadium, opened for the Doobies. Doobies sucked compared to MTB. I think most of us wanted Marshall Tucker to come back out and throw the Doobies off the stage. Way over rated band (the Doobies)
Skynyrd had to be one of the best to do it live.I know they put to shame other bands they opened for and I'm sure the "stars" they opened for thought,"what do we supposed to do now"?What a band and watching Allen play that wah solo gives me a smile every time,and of course Ronnie and the rest.Also,let's not forget the message cause I know about the needle and it did me wrong also.What more can you say but "thank you guys for the music!Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd cause legends never die!
Couldn't agree with you more!They were the first concert I went to when I was 13 they were opening for Foghat & put them to shame! Saw them 3 more X's before the plane crash. I'm 62 & fought with the 💉🥄 for 35 years! R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd 💔🕊️💯☝️🎶🎸🎤🌟
ปีที่แล้ว +11
R.I.P. Gary Rossington ( 04.12.1951.- 05.03.2023.) was an American musician and songwriter. He is best know as a founding member of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, in which he played lead and rhythm guitar. He was also the last living founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rossington was also a founding member of the Rossington Collins Band, along with former bandmate Allen Collins.
Allman Bros. and Skynard. The only two bands i ever heard live that could produce studio quality sound on stage and make the music sound like the album.
If you don’t get absolutely fired up listening to Skynyrd, there’s no rock in your soul! They had the perfect blend of rock, R&B, rockabilly, country, blues, and a touch of jazz. The ultimate group.
On the studio version, where Ronnie says “I know, I know, I know” and it fades out to the guitar. That for some reason gives me goosebumps, the way they recorded that intrigues me.
The Skynyrd rock story may be the most tragic ever! Watch an hour or two of Lynyrd Skynyrd live videos from the '70s and you'll be a fan almost instantaneously. The legendary talent on stage is among the best you will ever see of any live performance. I always knew and respected the band but really had no idea how great they really were. And I hate to take anything whatsoever away from the obvious great talent of the guitarists, drummer and bassists, but Ronnie Van Zant was truly a once in a lifetime lead singer, song writer, band leader and frontman. One of the worst losses in Rock and Roll history that seems to be sorely overlooked.
Out of all the great guitarists there is nothing like the sight of Allan Collins playing deep in the neck delivering his unique style of playing. My pick for the best of the greatest guitarists.
I'm still using the needle and a spoon and I got to say it sure is a kick in my ass everyday. Gonna try me one of those 21 day detox They give you 40 miligrams of methodone for 3 days than gradually taper you down for 21 days. Till on the 21 day I will get 5 mil. Then it's over friend. Got to do it. Tired of getting my ass Kicked!!?
GOOD. I'm really glad you knew to stay away from it. It's an absolute nightmare. Brings nothing but death and destruction and chaos. I praise Jesus every single day that I got out of that alive. By any account, I should absolutely not be alive right now. I'm a very lucky girl.
Allen Collins absolutely killed in this song. Funny enough this is one of my favorite solos with a wah pedal, and it's basically the only solo from Skynyrd that uses a wah. Allen Collins has always been underrated hes'sone of the best guitarists in my opinion.
This music has aged like fine wine. And now we know. They may have been the greatest band the south ever saw. As great as the ABB. Allen Collins , Ed King and Gary Rossington. Electric guitars played with SOUTHERN accents. 💙
Gary and Allen on guitar. Love this version of the band. They had an attitude and edge like they had to prove themselves every night. Think they were at their very best and the addition of Steve Gaines later on made them what could have been the best band ever to grace a stage.
The boys look to be in pretty rough condition from the road but they never lost any of the EXCELLENT talent they possessed. The greatest rock band of all time !
Ya, it's a shame. One more good tour and they probably could have taken a little break. Rest up, and enjoy some of their hard earned money. But tragedy struck before they could finish that tour!
They were the best rock n roll band than anyone else and Allen Collins was a dam good guitar player that didn't get the recognition he deserved. God bless these guys
Man, truer words never been spoken,,,, Great song...Collins rips on the guitar and wawa pedal. Truly an under rated guitar player. With Rossington and then Gaines, the best for as long as they were, R.I.P. ALL THE BAND
Ronnie and the boys were in HELL House & one was picking a little Rip& a second memb.joinged& Ronnie had the 2st one backing up and start from the beginning and this is words from the BoyZ' own mouths,that Ronnie had within 20 minutes later the words to our Musical Equivalent "defining all of us"who bleed Skynyrd,our Rock National Anthem, ---> "☆ FREE BIRD ☆"^,,Thank You Lord for the time you did give us Lynyrd Skynyrd & may you appoint them to play when we are all in Heaven...!Amen... 3 lead guitars all feeding off one another,never done before,and still unheard of since..Ronnie was a Genius,and never once picked up an instrument at all,except 1(his Microphone) "Dozer" in Carrollton, Ky long live "RVZ"& Skynyrd..!

Man even the latest would say let’s share that greatest moniker with the Allman brothers.
Imagine if you will alternating opening bands.
Skynyrd tours with the Allmans hmmm mmm I bet Ronnie wouldn’t love opening for anyone. To be fair it is the Allman brothers you’re talking about
Allen is one of the most amazingly talented guitar players to ever grace a stage....
Jimmy Page is the best
@@markframe6457 yep, since Allen passed, he is. agree
Everyone has their favorites. It is all subjective. Gary Rossington said that Steve Gaines was the best.
You sure got that right. Allen is the BEST
@markframe6457 No Jimmy Page is not the best
Our generation had the greatest music ever
💯
Hell yea
You damn right 👍
Proud to have lived it !
No stupid cellphones .
Bic liters
might be the greatest american band ever
Allen Collin's best solo. He owned that song and Gary did a good job of supporting that.
Lived it for 35 years now clean for over 7 years gentle reminder how twisted it was
Give it away! For fun and for free!✊🏼
A good decision! Good luck, man
@berndjenter4005 thanks it's all about changing the mind and heart. Mind of matter!!!
I'm glad❤ you clean amazing keep it ❤❤❤ up 🎉🎉🎉
Your exactly right change mind heart and your goals and desires follow
Allen Collins....don't mess with one of the best guitarist of all time. RIP♥️
I could sit forever and listen to Allen Collins play guitar.
so, are you saying you haven't a time or two.. shame on you hahahahaha
WHY??? Its because he is the Best that ever picked up a 6 String! We will never see another like him
@@markcorbin930 The line up of King, Collins and Rossington was great and it got even better with Gaines, Collins and Rossington. I'll take either trio.

Amen brother.
Amen to that my brother
Yeah. He was
I want to get him tattooed to my skin before I pass in front of the microphone with his hat on
Love 💘 💘 him bby
Allen Collins solo on this song is just as relevant as it was back in 76.
Ronnie is my all time favourite vocal, Steve Gaines is one of the best guitarist that ever was. But I should admit, Allen Collins is the one who defines Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound!
Mine too
And Gary
To me all time, Baddest Band, Searching, Needle Spoon, on and on😎
Right. Have got to agree with you on that.
They truly get no recognition they was great
No disrespect to Eddie Van Halen but Allen Collins was "THE" man...
Eddie Van Halen and Allen are my top two influences. Can't go wrong with both
Eddie couldènt get that much purè coke
@@rustybird8803 did you know EVH o'd a few minutes after leaving the stage early in his career?
No joke. Hard for the youngers to understand magnitude of these guys. Still heartbreaking.
"I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool, but then again Lord I've seen a lot of fools." This is a great line from this song that has a lot of truth to it.
One of my closest friends died that way long long ago...
Last time I'd seen 'n' met him was in a bus,I was standin' right at his side 'n' talked to him.

allen's the total package. tone. licks. he dont overplay. gary's IN the pocket all the time. yo ANY and ALL of skynyrd's gtr players are top tier
Perfection but I could say that about many of Skynyrd's songs. What a gift to mankind.
Effen perfection!!!!!
This is REAL music right here...they could never be duplicated...this is music with substance and meaning, my favorite band ever🔥🔥🔥
I saw these guys when I was 15 and that show in ‘76 changed me…. I’m in my 60’s now and they’re still my favorite American band….
Day on the Green summer of 1977 Oakland California
This song!!!! The guitars are all freaking on spot! And no matter what you think of him, Artimus is on spot keeping them tight!
Artimus was a good guy... he could describe a situation with perfect wording... even though some stories were a little embelished.. its all good.
Man that clip from Oakland play freebird. Sick bad bad better than studio version. 🍄☮️✌️
Artimus was a very dear friend to Ronnie and Judy ruined everything. She is a blood sucking vampire and actually in Jan of 20 21 moved ( for the 2nd time) Ronnie's grave, " Melody and I were never happy about the spot he was in" so he was moved away from his parents and oldest daughter Tammy's plots- to an isolated area in same cemetery, the new grave 10 feet away from what she called a "peaceful lake"- it's a black moldy pond that looks like stagnant water.

Allen Collins taking no prisoners! 🖤
The first solo he's on the pedal but not the second the second is pure genius.
I came here to listen to the wah pedal sounds. That is super cool for learning!
Ronnie-“If ya can’t smoke it or drink it, the hell with it” a true OG
Do these people in the audience even realize how lucky they were?? Wow!
@Mark Cianfarani Same for me when I first saw Marshall Tucker in Tampa Stadium, opened for the Doobies. Doobies sucked compared to MTB. I think most of us wanted Marshall Tucker to come back out and throw the Doobies off the stage. Way over rated band (the Doobies)
so true. from Canada
I think they did.. but sometimes it’s hard to remember.
I saw them 3 times pre crash...and yes, I realized every time how lucky I was and I still do!
I did. Saw them live in Dallas shortly before the crash. Still heartbroken in 2020.
Sad tried to warn everyone. So many didn't listen or won't still
The bands today have no clue what real music even sounds like. Thank you for all the great music 🎶 Lynyrd Skynyrd. ❤ RIP !
Well said, maybe The Black Crowes came a little close,just because they were a southern band too,but not like this???
When Allen Collins comes in at 1:38 with the wah pedal it gives me goosebumps.
I agree...just incredible!
Skynyrd had to be one of the best to do it live.I know they put to shame other bands they opened for and I'm sure the "stars" they opened for thought,"what do we supposed to do now"?What a band and watching Allen play that wah solo gives me a smile every time,and of course Ronnie and the rest.Also,let's not forget the message cause I know about the needle and it did me wrong also.What more can you say but "thank you guys for the music!Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd cause legends never die!

R.I.P. Gary Rossington
( 04.12.1951.- 05.03.2023.)
was an American musician and songwriter. He is best know as a founding member of Southern rock band
Lynyrd Skynyrd, in which he played lead and rhythm guitar. He was also the last living founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Rossington was also a founding member
of the Rossington Collins Band, along
with former bandmate Allen Collins.
Allman Bros. and Skynard. The only two bands i ever heard live that could produce studio quality sound on stage and make the music sound like the album.
kings of leon too
Paul Bourgeois Because they were the best of Southern Rock both bands.
No argument here.
Learn how to spell it before you comment on it
Bubby, don't forget The Who, and I have seen Pink Floyd as well
Still the greatest band to ever walk God’s green earth ..
If you don’t get absolutely fired up listening to Skynyrd, there’s no rock in your soul! They had the perfect blend of rock, R&B, rockabilly, country, blues, and a touch of jazz. The ultimate group.
On the studio version, where Ronnie says “I know, I know, I know” and it fades out to the guitar. That for some reason gives me goosebumps, the way they recorded that intrigues me.
I like that part too
Plus Collin's clean wah soloing so emotional
I'm a fucking mess after that jam !! 🥴 🤣
The Skynyrd rock story may be the most tragic ever! Watch an hour or two of Lynyrd Skynyrd live videos from the '70s and you'll be a fan almost instantaneously. The legendary talent on stage is among the best you will ever see of any live performance. I always knew and respected the band but really had no idea how great they really were. And I hate to take anything whatsoever away from the obvious great talent of the guitarists, drummer and bassists, but Ronnie Van Zant was truly a once in a lifetime lead singer, song writer, band leader and frontman. One of the worst losses in Rock and Roll history that seems to be sorely overlooked.
Mike An
derson
Yeah sorely overlooked just because they're a southern band. Sad really.
Been a fan all my life seen them in 1976 in Boston. Instantly I fell in love with Skynyrd, good I miss them all.
Tragic yes, but the whole LS story is so unbelievable you know it was destiny.
@MikeAnderson .... Amen!!!!!
Out of all the great guitarists there is nothing like the sight of Allan Collins playing deep in the neck delivering his unique style of playing. My pick for the best of the greatest guitarists.
Allen Collins! Damn!
Buddy guy bad to the bon
Ed King was great! Smart south californian hippie as a contrast
When he yells “SHOOT IT” the guitar player goes off on that crazy solo is one of the reasons I love this video awesome band too
Collins was everything embodying a classic rock guitar God. The style,stance ,hair, and licks. Talent out the ass!
The sound of those guitars is just insane
Allen Collins was a straight guitar master.......
I'm still using the needle and a spoon and I got to say it sure is a kick in my ass everyday. Gonna try me one of those 21 day detox

Same here!!!!!
yea, bro me too.
Thats right!
GOOD. I'm really glad you knew to stay away from it. It's an absolute nightmare. Brings nothing but death and destruction and chaos. I praise Jesus every single day that I got out of that alive. By any account, I should absolutely not be alive right now. I'm a very lucky girl.

The boys look to be in pretty rough condition from the road but they never lost any of the EXCELLENT talent they possessed. The greatest rock band of all time !
Ya, it's a shame. One more good tour and they probably could have taken a little break. Rest up, and enjoy some of their hard earned money. But tragedy struck before they could finish that tour!
@@BST-lm4po yeah man, they were just short of playing at Madison Square Garden. Something Ronnie wanted badly.
They were the best rock n roll band than anyone else and Allen Collins was a dam good guitar player that didn't get the recognition he deserved. God bless these guys
Allen Collins was electrifying great guitarist he gave lynyrd skynyrd that special sound.
Man, truer words never been spoken,,,, Great song...Collins rips on the guitar and wawa pedal. Truly an under rated guitar player. With Rossington and then Gaines, the best for as long as they were, R.I.P. ALL THE BAND
yes sir...unreal players,so tight..
In my opinion, the Greatest American Rock Band of all time..
Ronnie Van Zant is so underrated. He just commands attention on stage.
Without having to lift a finger! His little brother Donnie liked to show boat on stage, Johnny a little too. Ronnie was very understated
Ronnie and the boys were in HELL House & one was picking a little Rip& a second memb.joinged& Ronnie had the 2st one backing up and start from the beginning and this is words from the BoyZ' own mouths,that Ronnie had within 20 minutes later the words to our Musical Equivalent "defining all of us"who bleed Skynyrd,our Rock National Anthem, --->
"☆ FREE BIRD ☆"^,,Thank You Lord for the time you did give us Lynyrd Skynyrd & may you appoint them to play when we are all in Heaven...!Amen...
3 lead guitars all feeding off one another,never done before,and still unheard of since..Ronnie was a Genius,and never once picked up an instrument at all,except 1(his Microphone)
"Dozer" in Carrollton, Ky
long live "RVZ"& Skynyrd..!
