@@MomentsDivine Poor Ronnie,always herding cats. Did a hella job of it,too. Not bad for a short kid from Shanty Town! Hat's off to RVZ--what a badass...
***** Idk I think I might've. It's my opinion, didn't say it had to be yours. And actually I think Gary Rossington might agree with you, I've heard he's big into the Beatles. As well as Steve Gaines who got into guitar after seeing the Beatles in concert.
Simply awesome. In my opinion one of the 5 best modern music bands EVER !!! I just feel like crying sometimes listening to some of their anthems. Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd :-)
I was around 12 when my Mom told me and my brother that their plane had went down. Of course now I'm 57 and can remember it just like it was yesterday. Always loved this band and will never stop
The Talent in this Band, the words, the Feeling, even More Incredible to me Now than 25 years ago when I Didn't have the Internet! I get to see these guys playing Live!
Billy Powell an amazingly humble man. As I was, standing in front of an icon... asking if I could sit at his table. He welcomed me to sit down, I said something bout' fishin' and he just smiled and laughed. What a kind young man, talked with me bout' nuthin' and made my life different today cuz I met Billy Powell face to face. Treasured experience. Thank you Billy Powell for being approachable, yer' one of a kind my friend. Peace and love, God bless you!
Read a article billy was working setting up the stage an such..an ronnie heard him tunning a piano an immediately hired him to play in the band...true story...
These guys are one of the bands that made me the guitar player I am today. I'm 57 years old. Alan Collins, Gary Rossington, and Steve Gaines showed me how to solo at an early age, thank you to you all, two in heaven and one still with us. Wish I could sit with Gary Rossington on a porch and just jam with him and thank him for teaching me to play solo guitar, they ALL taught me rhythm, I thank them as well. Because of these guys, I pushed myself to learn all the greats from the 1980's Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch and just kept going with todays best,,, Tobin from Animals as leaders!! Wow!! Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd for starting me at the right place! You guys are forever in the place in music you deserve to be!!!!!!!
@@gregoryroundtree3570 me too! and wow allen smashed that SHA intro, this was after EK left, this is why i watch all these original concerts i can, over and over.....
Total professionals. Those are real instruments played by human beings at a level of sound no computer could ever simulate. That sound comes from passion to be the best at what they do.
1975 My first concert. Remember it better today than I did then. Little did I know! The greatest band and the greatest people you would ever want to meet. Real Southern hospitality kinda people! Thank you for the memories.
Ronnie must have been made of swagger! What a cool stage vibe he had... not to mention his singing. Just seems to be so natural and honest. I was 10 y/o in '77. Wish i could have seen them at least once.
I was 18 when pronounced hit the radio waves, freebird made this guitar player want to practice all the time and thanks to Skynyrd, Alman bros, Tucker boys ARSl Wet WILLY etc. I had a great life,.... my guitar was mytrue love ... Dr. Don and the Witch Doctors to name 1 group . Many groups, too many honky tonks to remember ... I'm 70 now, still playing... I've always stayed busy playing guitar and singing. because I love music . my advice to young players is..... don't trip on the money cuz if you get good the money will come but if money is your motivation... lots of luck! and never turn down a gig... rock on!!
I love this song and to me this is the greatest assembly of talent to ever call itself a rock band. There are none to compare, now or ever, and Ronnie was the very heart and soul of it. May the music they left behind entertain and inspire many generations of young rockers to come. I love ❤️ my Skynyrd.
21days after this , i turned 8 years old, and got my first 5 pc. Slingerland drum set. Used to try to play Saturday night special.... took a while.. lol
My Mom was a senior in High School at this time! I was not even a thought yet. But somehow I feel like I was there! Damn these guys were talented! This is ROCK N ROLL!!

Saw them at Leeds University UK in 1976 and 1977. Went to Knebworth in 1976 too. Certainly one of the best bands of all time. With Steve Gaines on board they would have took become household names. That guy was such a great musician.
@@arthurbishop3173 I remember WAY back When, There was a radio personality in Nashville TN by that name LOL he spelled it ESS k wii nwaaardee Phonetically. I still grin thinkin about BUBBA SKYNYRD The Superlative candidate.
Excellent guitar footage...wonderful show...I swear I can hear Julie when Gimmie Three Steps comes on, we're in there somewhere...we danced for hours, and we still know all the words... always and forever the one of the best bands of all time.
Do you have Sandy you are definitely right and I totally agree with you Lynyrd Skynyrd is number one of any southern rock band I personally rate them number one 🎶🎵🎸🎵🎸🎵🎶🎵🎸🎵🎶🎵🎸🎵🎶🎶🎸🎵🎶🎶🎸🎵🎵🎶🎶🎸🎵🎶🎶🎵🎸
I've said for years and I will continue to say it over an over. Skynard always was and always will be the BEST Southern rock band of all time! Hands down...
I saw them at the Fox Theater Atlanta Georgia when they were recording one more for the road 1976 ball bottoms barefooted long hair bandana 5 grams of hash in my pocket the greatest thing I ever did in my life
So glad my parents grew up in this era and I heard Skynyrd my whole life and still jam it and R.i.p Dad you finally a free bird and a ghost rider in the sky
Saw them live in 75’ Saratoga NY - Ed King had left by then , only 2 guitars that night, but they tore the place down - awesome show, they were the best
I like the way Ronnie sang and would emphasize the end and start of his lyrics with little clicks, squeals, “heys”, “woos” “na na nas” and grunts. He ruled that stage.
I was in sedalia Missouri in July 1974 Ozark music festival lynyrd skynyrd was there for 3 days and nights with several other bands 350,000 people what a blast
What a flashback. I was at this concert at the front of the stage, right in front of Rossington. Artimus broke a drumstick that went skittering across the stage, into my hand & I'm actually holding it right now. Billy Jones of the Outlaws joined them on "T for Texas". Bob Welsh's band Paris opened, the Outlaws were on 2nd. One of my all-time favorite Winterland concerts. Some of u posters seem to think not having a 3rd guitarist means the band wasn't at full strength but I disagree; I had seen Skynyrd before with Ed King but it wasn't that good of a show. Sometimes less is more. Rossington & Collins really cut loose here, check it out, y'all.
I read comments sections of live shows for exactly this kinda thing, someone who was there pops up with stories. Love it. Thanks man. I dig all the lineups through '77, this lineup is special in it's own way, Gary gets showcased a little more and that's cool.
Gary Rossington was at the peak of his powers here with that distinctive bluesy smoldering style. A few months later Steve Gaines would come aboard and they’d be back to the triple guitar lineup.
I have to agree that this is the Best that Gary sounded, he was diffently on top of his game as well as Allen. As far as i'm concerned the best southern rock band that ever was and has not been surpassed by none to the present. Long live thier music.
@@bobstone8667IMHO Gary Rossington is one of the absolute best guitarists of all time. He and Ronnie started the band and all I can say is THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Gary's solo in 'I got the Same Old Blues' and it is captured on video perfect here! Fantastic to watch! All the guitarists and Leon were great, but Gary is my favorite. Some sick solos! 'That Smell' is the 'The End ' from The Beatles with the 3 different soloists but for 6 minutes! Gary rules that song also. Criminally under rated band.
Lynyrd skynyrd Is LEGENDARY ! All time great ! Childhood memories still deep inside the spirit of our days has never died ! Sleep now peacefully your quest is done !
Allen played that solo so well I love this version so much ...also played like this at Knebworth ...it is a little different than the solo at Oakland where Ronnie cut him off a little quicker there in Oakland for some reason...Here and Knebworth he turned him loose....The longest version of the solo I remember was the one in Jacksonville May 1, 1976 He really turned them loose that night! Sadly it was the last time they played with Ronnie here in their hometown. They were supposed to play at the Sunshine Jam in the Gator Bowl a few months later in July but Ronnie was unable to perform. Shame there was no film of the Jacksonville May 1, 1976 show ....it was real special there were so many people there ...the police did not even try to limit how many people squeezed in there ....it was like that for Led Zeppelin in 1973 as well ....they just did not want to have a riot with that many people ...I heard that there was 20k+ at both of these shows ...the old coliseum sat 12k lol...I believe it ...The concourses outside the arena were completely filled all the aisles were used as seats.
I HATE IT when ppl pigeon hole them into the "Southern Rock" genre when the original band was one of the biggest bands and still are one of the most influential bands in history. IMHO they are the absolute best band in rock history... sorry Beatles and Stones fans
love the song Tuesday's gone, free bird and .any more ...l love all u musicians. ..l play keywords myself just at home so l ENJOY all classic rock and etc....wish could have seen u at concerts!
Went to their concert in Cicero Park near Chicago back in 70's with Friends Rick & Ed, we were in front of stage!! Waved to Ronnie & he waved back!! Never forget It!! 😢👍😍👍
Some of my favorites: Saturday Night Special 05:25. Gimme Back My Bullets 19:25. Needle and the Spoon 31:14. Gimme Three Steps 36:00. Call Me the Breeze 40:30. Sweet Home Alabama 45:55. Free Bird 1:01:10. Sorry about the spacing.
One of my favorite bands of all time.....looking back after all these years watching this video can't help but think damn their was a lot of hair in that band LOL Times change
I like how this is the one album/tour where they were down a guitarist, but they still absolutely cooked. Proof that Skynyrd was always Allen and Gary and Ronnie's band.
These guys were in my opinion the best southern band ever to play.How many bands have 3 star hard rockin guitarists. The song writing was amazing Ronnie always looked so cool and calm up there kept them all in line true leader. The rest of the band were so talented and when they all played together it made the hair rise on your arms.
Agreed. To answer your question about three guitarists, The Allman Bros had Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, and Dereck Trucks, all four are on Rolling Stones Greatest Guitarists of All Time list.
@@Doo_Doo_PatrolDon't give up man, I'm sure they will find a medicine that will make you realize Lynyrd Skynyrd is the G.O.A.T. Kidding. No disrespect, dude. We all like what we like. ✌️❤️✝️🇺🇲
Great blues let us go you put your heart and soul in it and it's like all your other songs that you've ever did and don't forget give me back My bullets
And I just commented on maybe another of my collections lol if they were ever in. MYRYLE Beach and I missed it would have certainly gone just about 4 hours away. Damn
I was blessed to have seen Ronnie and the boys 6 times before their terrible plane crash! They were good to us in Pensacola and Mobile. I saw other band groups for Skynyrd at least 6 more times, but it was never the same without Ronnie!
This is pretty special,thanks for posting. I've watched the 75 Winterland concert featuring Ed King and A. Pyle many times...cool to see the different lineup with Billy, Honkettes, and no 3rd guitar. Can't wait to see the other one you posted!
I was a heroin addict in the mid 70's to 1990.I thought all these years they we're saying can't speak a word when full of balloons,didn't know they we're saying ludes T thank the Lord God Almighty for keeping me drug and alcohol free since 1990.
Sometimes talented people get together and something very wonderful happens. Glad to see the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd lives on. They are the Mozarts of Southern Rock. People will know them 1000s of years from now. Nothing like 'em. They will live forever.
January 2024 and not one of these people are still alive but Artimus Pyle. May each of these AWESOME musicians RIP. When Gary Rossington passed away in 2023, I literally cried. I'm 65 and saw them in concert in 1976 when I was 18 in Johnson City, TN. They were (hands down) the best concert I've seen to date. 😢
Cletus pyle here, drummer for skynard tribute called that smell...47 people in band not including roadies and bar backs... playing red rox tonight and everynight till they open back up..
Here in 2024. Doesn’t get any better than this!

What a flashback. I was at this concert at the front of the stage, right in front of Rossington. Artimus broke a drumstick that went skittering across the stage, into my hand & I'm actually holding it right now. Billy Jones of the Outlaws joined them on "T for Texas". Bob Welsh's band Paris opened, the Outlaws were on 2nd. One of my all-time favorite Winterland concerts. Some of u posters seem to think not having a 3rd guitarist means the band wasn't at full strength but I disagree; I had seen Skynyrd before with Ed King but it wasn't that good of a show. Sometimes less is more. Rossington & Collins really cut loose here, check it out, y'all.
I read comments sections of live shows for exactly this kinda thing, someone who was there pops up with stories. Love it. Thanks man. I dig all the lineups through '77, this lineup is special in it's own way, Gary gets showcased a little more and that's cool.
Only if I could have been a friend of yours you may have said... Hey mann I'm going to see this bad ass band tonight. Wanna go?
I was there also, can't remember much, right upfront.
lucky
Mark Tele wow man thank you for sharing a legendary part of Rock’n’Roll history....agree they were smoking here with two legendary guitarist ❤️🙏🏼

Gary Rossington and Allen Collins are two of the greatest guitarists of all time...just my opinion
Very underrated for sure
But Allen Collins is the better of the 2
@@johnvreeland5995 true but Gary had some of the best solo spots I ever heard
Steve Gaines is better.
But I prefer Edward King...
Gary Rossington was at the peak of his powers here with that distinctive bluesy smoldering style. A few months later Steve Gaines would come aboard and they’d be back to the triple guitar lineup.
He played with all his heart
Yup, he's playing a lot more lead during this period. Proof that it was always he and Allen's band, and they could always hold it down.
I have to agree that this is the Best that Gary sounded, he was diffently on top of his game as well as Allen. As far as i'm concerned the best southern rock band that ever was and has not been surpassed by none to the present. Long live thier music.
@@bobstone8667IMHO Gary Rossington is one of the absolute best guitarists of all time. He and Ronnie started the band and all I can say is THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in Jacksonville, Florida. RIP Gary Rossington. Thanks for this upload.
I love Gary's solo in 'I got the Same Old Blues' and it is captured on video perfect here! Fantastic to watch! All the guitarists and Leon were great, but Gary is my favorite. Some sick solos! 'That Smell' is the 'The End ' from The Beatles with the 3 different soloists but for 6 minutes! Gary rules that song also. Criminally under rated band.
Me too I think he played 4k shows
All the songs are great and the music amazing too.
Real talent. And obviously the best southern rock band ever
Riffs et rythmiques tonitruantes , des titres
qui vont droit au cœur et restent dans la mémoire collective .
Un groupe dans le patrimoine universel
Leon is a great Bass player, one or the best!!
Not the best, but the best for Skynyrd no doubt. That's more than enough.
great sound great band, always in my memory
Lynyrd skynyrd Is LEGENDARY !
All time great ! Childhood memories still deep inside the spirit of our days has never died !
Sleep now peacefully your quest is done !
Skynyrd was my first concert, Oct 16, 1977; their plane went down four days later. I didn't believe it when I heard about it.
😢😢😢😢
saw them open for the doobie brothers about this time...maybe 77
love the DB... but Skynyrd blew them off the stage..thanks for this awesome memory!
Of course they did
Allen played that solo so well I love this version so much ...also played like this at Knebworth ...it is a little different than the solo at Oakland where Ronnie cut him off a little quicker there in Oakland for some reason...Here and Knebworth he turned him loose....The longest version of the solo I remember was the one in Jacksonville May 1, 1976 He really turned them loose that night! Sadly it was the last time they played with Ronnie here in their hometown. They were supposed to play at the Sunshine Jam in the Gator Bowl a few months later in July but Ronnie was unable to perform. Shame there was no film of the Jacksonville May 1, 1976 show ....it was real special there were so many people there ...the police did not even try to limit how many people squeezed in there ....it was like that for Led Zeppelin in 1973 as well ....they just did not want to have a riot with that many people ...I heard that there was 20k+ at both of these shows ...the old coliseum sat 12k lol...I believe it ...The concourses outside the arena were completely filled all the aisles were used as seats.
In 76 I was a young girl jamming out every night on my 8 tracks and two hugh speakers that were connected for realism.love this.
Only 17 months before one of the greatest tragedies in
rock n roll history.
That's when the music died. TD Atlanta
😢
This goes without saying " Southern Rock,s premier band will never be replaced , just always remembered as the go to music for the working man ! "
Kick ass is the music they played!!! And it NEVER gets old!!😂😂❤❤❤
I HATE IT when ppl pigeon hole them into the "Southern Rock" genre when the original band was one of the biggest bands and still are one of the most influential bands in history. IMHO they are the absolute best band in rock history... sorry Beatles and Stones fans
These comments make me smile :) this is southern rock! This is music!
I saw them in the 70s in concert. I'm a full blown fan waiting to relive that era.
love the song Tuesday's gone, free bird and .any more ...l love all u musicians. ..l play keywords myself just at home so l ENJOY all classic rock and etc....wish could have seen u at concerts!
Went to their concert in Cicero Park near Chicago back in 70's
with Friends Rick & Ed, we were in front of stage!! Waved to Ronnie & he waved back!! Never forget It!! 😢👍😍👍

I am so Happy we have these concerts we can Watch , !!!
Some of my favorites:
Saturday Night Special 05:25. Gimme Back My Bullets 19:25. Needle and the Spoon 31:14. Gimme Three Steps 36:00. Call Me the Breeze 40:30. Sweet Home Alabama 45:55. Free Bird 1:01:10. Sorry about the spacing.
Awesome the way Ronnie spotlighted the talent of his band members.
What a superb group. The Honketts too. I owe them all for inspiring me to learn to play the guitar and bringing me musical inspiration to this day.
...a couple of the dudes from the outlaws playin on t for texas...how awesome is that? Never knew that happened. real joy to watch.
9 min 4 guita1 piano solo
I've loved this band (the originals) All my life!! Can never get enough!!❣️❣️☮️
FR!!
One of my favorite bands of all time.....looking back after all these years watching this video can't help but think damn their was a lot of hair in that band LOL Times change
I still love long hair on guys.
Ronnie was just a bad ass southern Rock Star brightest in the sky thank you God for LYNYRD SKYNYRD
I’d forgotten how much influence Free had on these guys. You can definitely hear it here! Awesome performance! Thanks for uploading this!
I'll totally agree with that last comment. They have always been my favorite band!!
I'm 61 years old and this music keeps me alive. The way Allen Collins kicks the lick on the needle and the spoon
I like how this is the one album/tour where they were down a guitarist, but they still absolutely cooked. Proof that Skynyrd was always Allen and Gary and Ronnie's band.
This is true 👍
YUP! They were all superstars, but Gary and Allen Definitely made the Greatness happen.
These guys were in my opinion the best southern band ever to play.How many bands have 3 star hard rockin guitarists. The song writing was amazing Ronnie always looked so cool and calm up there kept them all in line true leader. The rest of the band were so talented and when they all played together it made the hair rise on your arms.
Agreed. To answer your question about three guitarists, The Allman Bros had Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, and Dereck Trucks, all four are on Rolling Stones Greatest Guitarists of All Time list.
7 days a week! Sun up till sun down! 5 plus years? What did they during that? That was their practice schedule...
I favor the Outlaws.
@@Doo_Doo_PatrolDon't give up man, I'm sure they will find a medicine that will make you realize Lynyrd Skynyrd is the G.O.A.T.
Kidding. No disrespect, dude. We all like what we like. ✌️❤️✝️🇺🇲
@@Doo_Doo_Patrol would you have any grey poupon?
Nobody comes close to match their talent !
Agreed!
I finally watched there whole concert, a lot of for real energy, my friend from our souls thru our eyes
The best band that ever was no questions asked
Chicago.led zeppelin. Rush. Skynyrd competes with all them
@@trashedbodomguy Chicago?!?!???
@@arthurbishop3173 did I stutter.when terry was with them.prettt much 68-78.the musicianship was off the charts. Check out live at the tanglewood 1970
@@trashedbodomguy Chicago. What?
Great blues let us go you put your heart and soul in it and it's like all your other songs that you've ever did and don't forget give me back My bullets
I saw the original back in 76 . It was across from Pirateland campground....38 special opened.
Myrtle Beach, S,C,
Wrong
ORIGINAL LINEUP IS ED KING
And I just commented on maybe another of my collections lol if they were ever in. MYRYLE Beach and I missed it would have certainly gone just about 4 hours away. Damn
Gains1st concert
Was Myrtle Beach sc
Was blessed to be there and see the Best Southen Band Ever. Great sound Live, tight band led by Ronnie R.I.P.
A minute in, back up vocals/harmony comes in, i'm already out of my mind into this groove.
I was blessed to have seen Ronnie and the boys 6 times before their terrible plane crash!
They were good to us in Pensacola and Mobile. I saw other band groups for Skynyrd at least 6 more times, but it was never the same without Ronnie!
I first saw them in July, 1974 in Sedalia, MO at the 3 day festival. Three more times. Two with Ronnie and two without.
This is pretty special,thanks for posting. I've watched the 75 Winterland concert featuring Ed King and A. Pyle many times...cool to see the different lineup with Billy, Honkettes, and no 3rd guitar. Can't wait to see the other one you posted!
I was a heroin addict in the mid 70's to 1990.I thought all these years they we're saying can't speak a word when full of balloons,didn't know they we're saying ludes T thank the Lord God Almighty for keeping me drug and alcohol free since 1990.
Not balloons luds. Qwaluds
Sometimes talented people get together and something very wonderful happens. Glad to see the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd lives on. They are the Mozarts of Southern Rock. People will know them 1000s of years from now. Nothing like 'em. They will live forever.
Three Steps seemed a bit faster than I remember.Great show by the best performers.
If anyone remembers The Ranch in Galena, KS. and saw Steve Gaines play with Crawdad, gimmie a thumbs up.
what year?
RIP Gary Rossington today March 5, 2023
January 2024 and not one of these people are still alive but Artimus Pyle. May each of these AWESOME musicians RIP. When Gary Rossington passed away in 2023, I literally cried.
I'm 65 and saw them in concert in 1976 when I was 18 in Johnson City, TN. They were (hands down) the best concert I've seen to date.
😢
The greatest band of all time.
Definitely!! No bad will ever top the original Skynyrd!!!!
*Damn Straight*
Cletus pyle here, drummer for skynard tribute called that smell...47 people in band not including roadies and bar backs... playing red rox tonight and everynight till they open back up..
im gonna go out on a limb and say they aint ever gonna be another band like this one!
That is a strong and sturdy limb!
Allen always looked like he was having a blast...but Gary never smiled.
Will Love Them 4ever ~ Until we meet again Ronnie on the other side
What made him so stoic?
Never noticed, and makes me wonder
He once said if he could say it in words he'd say it but he'd rather play it
