      These Summer shows were priced around $11.00 dollars. I went to 9-10 of these shows. There would be about 5 bands over an 8 hour span. Skynyrd was opening for Peter Frampton. The shows were called ‘Day on the Green.’ Usually there would be about 60,000 people there.

      Very few bands sound the same as the album , Skynyrd did and Bob Seger did as well. Styx and Jethro Tull also were great live, ZZ Top is another, but you can't expect the studio cut on every song, alot of these were damn close

  • @kevansavage3058
    @kevansavage3058 3 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    I was 15 and was in the second level left field at that show, one of the greatest concerts I have seen. Another must watch song from that show is, "The Breeze". Every time I see this video My eyes get wet, remembering this show and how epic it was, and the tragedy soon after.
    The rest of that show was opened by Peter Frampton and then The Outlaws. A few days later at the same stadium was Santana. Later in July the 23 was another epic concert; Rick Derringer, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest and Derringer. What a great month for a 15 year old!

      Not just that, but look how healthy everybody looked back then! Nobody is 400lbs! Since this time, the sugar industry added sugar into EVERYTHING we eat, and the soda industry got vending machines into schools and universities. The fast food industry also sponsors nutritional books for schools that suggest that a burger is healthy because of the lettuce and tomato, lol.

    I went to their last concert in Greenville SC with a guy who didn't really want to be there. He insisted that we leave before their last encore which was Freebird. I insisted that we stop & listen to it through the back wall of the building. They tore it up. The building was actually vibrating. It was devastating to learn about the crash the next day. I've never quite forgiven him for making me miss seeing them do this song that night even though we've been married for over 30 years now. Thanks for doing this one.

    This is, without a doubt the best reaction I have ever seen to this song. I appreciate your appreciation for this band.

Thank you for such a heartfelt great reaction.

    Yeah, the guitar players were always incredible, but I would suggest that their secret weapon was Billy Powell. His piano playing really helped define the sound of the band. Also, if you listen very closely you'll fine that Leon Wilkeson played some ridiculously cool bass lines.

    • @edreiser
      @edreiser 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And Billy Powell was just a roadie he suggested the piano intro the band liked it made him a member and the rest is history.

  • @lorijohnston4311
    @lorijohnston4311 3 ปีที่แล้ว +85

    I won't argue with you -- Skynyrd was amazing and the trio of Allen Collins (a seriously underrated guitarist IMO), Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines on guitars is just mind blowing. Artemis Pyle is tearing it up on the drums for the entire song, Leon Wilkeson is doing amazing work on the bass, Ronnie was smooth as always on vocals and Billy Powell powerful on the piano.

    This one is tremendous and my favorite but just for fun If you’re looking for a tremendous live performance from Lynyrd Skynyrd you are missing what is rated as the 3rd best live performance in history.
    It is the “Freebird” performance in England at the Knebworth music festival. The back story may be more important than the performance itself. Look it up for much more detail but here is an extremely shortened version if you don’t have time.
    Skynyrd was called to play the Knebworth festival in England as many bands were. The Rolling Stones were the headliners. Skynyrd locked themselves away for weeks tightening up and planning their “try to follow that one” performance. The stage was set up like the Stones logo. A mouth with a tongue that went out into the crowd. Mick Jagger forbid anyone from performing on the tongue because that was for him and him only. The crowd is sleeping and not paying attention when Skynyrd comes on stage. They break into their last song of the set “Freebird” and by the time its over the whole crowd is up and clapping and dancing and jamming! Talking about waking people up! OH and yes they performed most of the song right down there on the tip of the tongue! LOL Who cares what Mick said!
    great performance…even better knowing the story behind what was going on.
    sorry for the long post I shortened it a lot

    @msredstilettoscraftsshoesc5152 3 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    My fav band of all time & probably one of the most underrated ever! The most underrated musical/songwriting genius in Ronnie, the most underrated guitarist in Allen Collins (in white) who wrote this music when he was only 16-17 years old (he wrote the chord progression for this song & took 2 years to get the solo where he wanted it). The opening lyrics came courtesy of a fight Allen & his then girlfriend, Kathy (later his wife, who also tragically passed after hemorrhaging during the miscarriage of their third child) had, who turned to him & said "if I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" . Ronnie initially didn't want to write the song saying that there were too many chord changes. Of course, he eventually changed his mind after hearing Allen play it one day, yet again lol...told him to keep playing the chords over & over & wrote the lyrics in about 5 minutes. Imo, every single band member from Artemis on drums, Billy on piano, Leon on bass, Gary on slide guitar in this song & Stevie on backup lead to Allen were all extremely underrated! Any questions, I can probably answer. Just a FYI...in exactly 10 days @ 6:52pm it will be 43 years since the plane crash that killed Ronnie, Stevie, his sister & backup singer (Honkette) Cassie & the band's asst road manager Dean Kilpatric along with the 2 pilots who were solely responsible for the crash. A day I'll never, ever forget as it still weighs as heavy on me now as it did then. 😭

      @tats5880 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No way on gods green earth is this band or anyone in this line up underrated, my only guess would be is you were not around in their heyday. I was 19 in 1977 and every bar band tried to copy Lynyrd skynyrd. You need to look up the word underrated and understand what it means..

It still gives me chills, thrills and very tired and sore feet and mouth full of smile!!! Billy Graham Presents did "Day's on the Green" concerts and they had great line ups, usually 4-5 great bands and sold out the place numerous times per, summer per year.

I don't get in the " so and so is the best guitarist in the band" they all, with Ed King, had bad ass skills, and made the sound. R.I.P. Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Allen and his wife, Billy, Ed, Leon, and all the crew that have gone.

    I love Free Bird!!! I could listen to this performance of it constantly and never tire. But Lynyrd Skynyrd has so many great songs, that I have to listen to them also!! But, this performance of Free Bird and the one from Knebworth are probably the best

    A classic. The guitar solos are through the roof. Freebird!!! 🎸 Billy and Leon are the glue that holds Skynyrd together. Ronnie is calm, cool, and collected, and has an amazing stage presence.

    "SOUTHERN ROCK" FROM THE '70'S WHEN MUSIC WAS "REAL"! LED BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD NO DOUBT!!!!! WHAT A CRYING SHAME THAT RONNIE DIED SHORTLY AFTER THIS ICONIC PERFORMANCE. FOR ME IT DEFINITELY CHANGED NOT JUST SOUTHERN ROCK BUT ROCK & ROLL FOREVER!!!!!! OH MAN, JUST LISTEN, IF THIS DOESN'T REINFORCE YOUR LOVE & APPRECIATION OF ROCK YOU MUST BE DEAD. PERIOD!!!!!

    Between this song and Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven it has been the most requested songs for over 40 years
    Was lucky to see them with Ronnie Vanzant once but have seen them 6 times in total.
    Worked one of there shows I ran track light.
    My opinion when we lost Ronnie was when Southern Rock started coming to a end.
    You reacted to Blackfoot there guitar player Bill Medlock now plays for Skynard and that's who I followed with The track light awesome band great performers.
    I would recommend anyone to see them.
    Great Reaction as always SYDE Stay Safe 😀😀

      Saw them twice, once with Ronnie in Fresno. CA, just a few months before the crash, don't remember the concert day but it had to be within a week or so of this, it being in Oakland. I remember the crash date, it's my birthday. 10-20-77 I woke up to my 20 th birthday and the news they had crashed. Not a good day but the concerts were great. I thought it was the same with Johnny. To me they sound the same or as close as it could get and just like in 77, when they were done, so were you. . Greg Allman was the headliner on the 2nd one, big mistake. Music was great, but everyone was spent, people were walking out on him. DONT EVER FOLLOW SKYNYRD, at least not the 2 times I saw them. Be 43 years on the 20th RIP RONNIE..

    • @Veggamattic
      @Veggamattic 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This song was requested much more than Stairway. Not close. I remember hearing DJ's in Toronto talking about how every weekend the request for Freebird just get overwhelming and they had to ask people to stop calling in for it.

    These guys are about to turn it up like none other, LIVE. This level of talent is worth the time for sure. Enjoy! 🎼🎶🎸🎵🎵🎹🎤🔥😎
    Love this video as we can see actual talent, no click tracks,no auto tune....no no- talent.
    Love the reactions, so much live music out there to enjoy, keep going......have fun discovering the music.😄

    YAY! My all time favorite song. I love music of all kinds and it is so hard to choose a favorite, but I would have to say this is it. I listened to this song every day for the four years I went through High School. I would sit to do my homework and put this on and it was the only way I could get it done. LOL. So many wonderful memories from this song.

      The Stones weren't playing this show, Peter Frampton was. The Stones were the headliner at Knebworth, England, when Skynyrd opened & blew the Stones off the stage. The crowd actually booed once the Stones finally got out there & started playing lol

    Leon Wilkeson was their kick ass bass player, who not only blew doors like a BOSS...but if you listen closely to the opening bars of SIMPLE MAN, you will be shocked at how beautifully melodic and nuanced his bass lines could be. Yea...Leon Wilkeson, like all the rest of Skynyrd...was a top shelf musician and is sorely missed. R.I.P. Leon and all of the other FREEBIRDS from Skynyrd.

    If you want to see much more of the band, with less audience camera time, try their live show in England. I forget the name of the town, but it is a wild tutorial of incredible guitar playing. Funny story: Lynard Skynyrd was opening for the Rollong Stones. The Stones had insisted that no opening act use their specially built "tounge" part of the stage. Ronnie literally ushers his guitarist right onto that tounge stage as a fu to the Stones.

      You don’t tell Ronnie not to do something. Lol
      After their gig on stage no one wanted to follow them that night. The next band 10CC did not play because of “tech”issues. The Stones were 30 minutes late hitting the stage.

    Thanks for reacting to my home town neighborhood boys! When I was about 14 ...this hit the radio here in Jacksonville ...at first all I heard was the AM radio short version without the jam at the end... then I was telling my buddy about it and he said "listen to it on the FM station ...they play the whole song" and then he blew my mind and said ...You know, they are from right here in our neighborhood. We were so lucky in those days. We got to see the Allman brothers play in Willowbranch park for what was the first concert they ever played as the original Allman Brothers band. We were park rats in that park we had no idea what we were seeing and hearing ....some years later another friend took me to see Molly Hatchet ....I remember him saying "they play like Skynyrd" ...His brothers band was in a outdoor battle of the bands which also had 38 Special in it. What a blessing it was to be surrounded by such good music in them days. The further you dig into Skynyrd the more gems you will find. Also check out another Jacksonville act that is performing these days...JJ Grey and Mofro ....You can find the live versions of The Sun is shinning down and Lochloosa here on youtube ....trust me! You will love it!

    I was in the Navy 75-79, stationed in Lemoore, Ca about 40 miles from Fresno. All the bands toured then and it seemed they all came to Fresno. Saw many, many concerts there and at that time, you didnt have to rob a liquor stores to get enough money to afford to go to the concerts. It was right after this that they came to Fresno and wild horses couldn't have kept me away. I loved and still do love me some Skynyrd. My birthday is in a few days on, October 20 th, so on 10-20-1977 I woke up to my 20th birthday and the news that Skynyrd had crashed. I'll still fight Mike Tyson if he looked at my lady wrong, but damn I cried that day just as I have tears now, yeah, i love me some Skynyrd. They are the Led Zeppelin of southern rock, they are some bad mofo's. Saw them again with Johnny years later and it was just like Ronnie was there and Johnny sings his brothers praise. Greg Allman was headlining that concert, big mistake, cause just like in 77, when Skynyrd is done so are you. The greatest live shows I've ever seen because the audience is just all in, you are all in. People were actually walking out on Greg Allman, it was sad because his music was great, but I don't give a damn who you are, you don't want to follow Skynyrd. So, sir I understand (twice times) why you consider that the best live performance you have ever seen and would love to have been there. I wish you could have brother, because that was just 1 song yeah it's their anthem, but they just get it out like that on all they play. I dont know how they did it, because you put your love and soul in to it to get it like that. Like mommas fried chicken, nobody else could make it like that because momma put the love in it and you cant get that at the market, I dont care which one you go to.. Skynyrd use to practice in an old metal barn in the south, plenty hot, plenty humid, no ac. That took love, and YOU DIDN'T F-CK WITH RONNIE, cause Ronnie would put one on you, everything I heard was he was a bad somebody. So practice didn't end till Ronnie said, "end". Wish you all could have seen them live, those that have know I speak the truth. They were some bad, bad, boys. RIP IN PEACE RONNIE. I AINT GAY, BUT I LOVE ME SOME SKYNYRD. COMES TO FIX IM PREPARED TO FIGHT, YO SURE GOT THAT RIGHT...be 43 years this birthday, now I want to find someone that's pissed me off, cause I can handle my own, too. STILL

    @garrettpapit 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You're right man. Best performance ever. They actually did the solo a bit better in another life version, but it's nitpicking. They did a longer version once that was a tad tighter. Any live performance of this song is life changing.

    Seeing Skynyrd live was always the BEST show. Allman Brothers were a close second. I was fortunate to have seen them early on then the second iteration that recently retired. IMHO the 3 guitar attack of Collins, Rossington & King/Gaines was revolutionary. Allen Collins was possibly a top 5 guitarist.
