I was there in 1977 at the Oakland Coliseum. Those all day concerts were called Day on the Green. We heard three bands in a day. I was 17 years old now 62. Many of those people in that crowd are grandparents now. I may be old but I saw a lot of great bands. Those were good times.
You said EXACTLY what I was going to say!!
Some are even Great-grandparents!! I’m only 2yrs older.
My fave part is when we’re all jumping knowing what was coming up!
I'm one of those grandparents, definitely great times.
Got to see them at a Willie's 4th of July Picnic back in 1977 in Tulsa. Amazing show and yeah, lasted all day with lots of different bands. I love these videos because you can see how dad gum skinny and sexy we were back then, ha ha, and that was everyone.
Rock on girlfriend!! Wasn't at this one but spent a day at the KGB sky show in San Diego rockin to Def Leppard!!! What a ride THAT was!!! Ahhh....misspent youth...I do miss it!! Almost 70 but refuse to believe it myself!!!🤣🤣🤣🎶🎼🎵🤘🤘🤘
Oakland sure has changed as well...
This is back in the day when, instead of sunscreen, people were wearing baby oil. People worried less, judged each other less, and while the world always has problems to work on, people on average were pretty darned happy. What a great time to be alive.
Exactly right.
70s...best time of my life! I was a teen throughout the 70s!
HELL YES
Yeah no 24 hour news channels, social interaction was either over the phone or face to face, 3 major media channels and perhaps two local channels on the television, and we enjoyed each other's company for the most part. So much different now
You had to get at least one good "blister and peel" every summer. That was your base for your tan.
One of the best songs played live EVER!🕊🦅🇺🇸
Brings back a lot of memories this song 💞
The piano player, Billy Powell started out as a roadie for the band, until Ronny heard him playing the part he came up with for this sond off stage. They didn't know he was a classical trained piano player. BOOM, Your in the band.
I just told my husband that story. I was lucky to see Skynyrd in Columbus Georgia a couple of months before the crash. Steve Gaines was a perfect late addition to the band. That's a good story too.
I met Billy a few times. He was a nice humble man. They use to jam at a place called Ward's Landing on Sundays and people would bring their instruments and jam. This was in the early 90's. Billy and Artimus Pyle were always there.
Billy actually made the song what it was! He was the missing past that the band was looking for.
The problem is they can hear themselves but it's really hard for them to hear the other musicians with just those monitors they have in front of them. Also notice NO CELL PHONES! That's why everyone is having SO much fun.
We had soooo much fun in the 70s. We are all grandparents now😂
This was 45 years ago back in 1977 and everyone in that crowd are now grandparents...How cool were they back then. These Florida boys sure turn up the heat in Oakland California.
The band Lynyrd Skynyrd was name after a high school phys. Ed. teacher and coach from the Florida high school they attended. Awesome!
I bet those grandparents today are tut-tutting at their grandkids about their behavior!
@@hankstaines6568 Agreed! Lol.
The PE teacher kept getting onto them about their long hair! Love that story!
I introduced my 8 year old grandson to this and he loved it
Dang, you're lucky.
I've been wondering if they played it longer in this performance and if it was edited down. Because the ending sounded abrupt, specifically at the end of that long solo, where the camera cuts back to the band and they start ending the song.
That was on July 7, 1977. The ladies were late teens and early twenties for the most part. That was a rocking band !
This was 3 months before the plane crash in Oct 20th 1977. The first time I saw them live was 1974 at Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento CA. I believe there was about 80,000 people at that concert
It's even more amazing to watch the crowd reaction realizing they weren't even headlining the show. Peter Frampton headlined ( imagine having to follow this). The Outlaws opened followed by Santana, then Skynyrd.
Wasn't that a nice, gentle, lilting, calming, lyrical introduction? And how badly did you get tossed about in the roller coaster cart in the second half of the song? I've watched over 100 reaction vids here on YT and this song DOES NOT GET OLD! It's the energy of the crowd, the virtuosity of the band members, and the awe-struck faces of the reactors that are so entertaining, reminding me of the first time saw this video. Wonderful reaction, folks! This was 3 months before the airplane crash (Oct. 20, 1977). We're so fortunate to have this documented performance for our enjoyment. Lynyrd Skynyrd was a re-spelling of some of the band members' high school mechanical arts or phys ed teacher's name -- Leonard Skinner.
Three lead guitarists each getting their turn kicking out the jams. Epic performance.
This was BEFORE the plane crash as the lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt died and so did one of their lead guitarists-- Steve Gaines, also died. They named the band after one of their high school teachers, Leonard Skinner, who used to give them grief about their long hair.
This concert was in July of 1977. The plane crash was in October, 1977. So this must have been among their last concerts with the original lineup. I saw them live around 1988 in Worcester, Massachusetts and Ronnie Van Zant's kid brother Johnny was on lead vocals. Freebird was done as an encore and it was done with no vocals in deference to the late singer Ronnie. A little trivia for you, middle brother Donnie Van Zant was founder and lead vocalist of southern rock band 38 Special.
According to the Street Survivors tour dates, they only made about 3 shows. Never got to see them. What a great band, loaded with talent.
Best check your facts ,this wasn't the ORIGINAL lineup . Donnie VanZant was a founding member of 38 Special but he played rhythm guitar and sang backup ! And by the way the best concert video of this is Knebworth in 1976 they go right out on the Rolling Stones tongue and show the world AND THE ROLLING STONES who THE BIG DOGS are that's right LYNYRD SKYNYRD !!! Last thing the best live recording of any Skynyrd song including Freebird is the Live One More From The Road album listen to it from the beginning straight through to the very end and in that moment you will be the happiest person on earth money back guarantee promise 🤣✌️
@@johnbolin3325 Lynyrd skynyrd also did a tour with the who in England
@@johnbolin3325 the remaining members after the crash later became the rossington Collins band with Gary rossingtons wife dale krantz on vocals
@@norms3913 some did some didn't go check the lineup
I get chills watching this. I missed my chance to see them unfortunately. One of my high school buddies went to see them in NJ in 1975 and came back with a drumstick that was thrown into the crowd by Artimus Pyle. They were absolutely fantastic, one of my favorites. And one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all-time.
Man I would’ve loved to of been at this concert unfortunately I was only 11 years old and I lived on the East Coast! One of my favorite bands Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers good ole southern rock!
Same with 38 Special!...Good old southern rock!
I love watching these young folk enjoy what is really true music........rock on
Love her reaction to Rossington making the bird chirping sounds...she does the what was that look!!
I was a 70s chick and we didn't have sunscreen. lol. It was a blast and such freedom and innocence. Everyone looked our for one another. Wouldn't change a thing, having seen such great bands live and experiencing the sounds of the 70s. No autotune and Real talent. ❤
You must have had a full bush. ❤
I saw them in Savannah with ZZ Top and let me tell you! HANDS DOWN THE BEST ROCK CONCERT me and my husband had ever been too! We went back the next night and took our teenage sons and they freaking LOVED IT!
All those hot grandmas out there. : ) The crowd is anticipating. Skynyrd closed their shows with Free Bird. The crowd knew what was coming. Free Bird is a Southern Rock anthem. To this day, you can be at a live rock venue/performance and someone in the crowd yells out, "Free Bird!"
I was a hot grandma! Now I'm 62!
@@juliemanarin4127 what do you mean "was"?
According to your photo avatar, you still are!
@@juliemanarin4127
Same here. My grandkids always liked riding in my car just for gma's rockin tunes.
I love this version. Talk about a trip back in time. Love it! One big Jam session with a few friends.
If I could travel back in time for one concert it would be this one. What a magical experience that would’ve been.
What a beautiful couple. Thank you for helping to keep skynrds spirits alive
You guys are Awesome!!! Love this band!!! Thank you for being you!!!
Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, Guitarist Steve Gaines, and his sister Cassie Gaines (a backing vocal) were killed in the crash three month's after this concert. God Bless Them All. Brilliant Reaction............ThanX.
3 guitars, bass, drums and piano all going ape shit at once. Saw them live at the Hampton Coliseum in '76. Guys burned the house down.
Their live album "One More from the Road" was one of the first three albums I ever bought, 40 years ago. This song means a thing or two to me.
Best live album ever made!
The other two albums were The Stranger by Billy Joel and Paradise Theatre by Styx. Soon after, I would add Tommy by The Who and A Night at the Opera by Queen.
That live album has the best live version of Free Bird ever recorded!
you also have to take into consideration, this is the last song of their show, he's been singing for two hours
This is the real Lynyrd Skynyrd not the glorified tribute band you showed her before. This was their creative and talent peak imo and sadly not too long before the plane crash
This has always been my most favorite song. Playing the airdrums with my friend. Was awesome. Really picked up air drumming when i heard Rush.
Billy Powell, great piano...RIP
The greatest Southern rock band to come out of Jacksonville, Florida my hometown
I was there. Summer after graduating high school. Day on the Green. A dozen bands. All day.
“What is this? Really? What this is… is one of the greatest rock performances of arguably the greatest rock ballad ever records. THAT IS WHAT THIS IS!!!!!!!!
The band's name came from a teacher at the school several members attended, Leonard Skinner.
In-ear monitors came into use in the late 80s, but only became more affordable in the last 15 or so years. They have advantages as well as disadvantages, depending on venue and volume. Some prefer to rely on on-stage monitoring when possible.
I live in S.C, was at their last concert in October 19th 1977. Their plane crashed the next day on the way to Baton Rouge La. From Greenville SC. This was the last song that they played that night. I can't watch this video 😭 without tears. This live concert was in July of 77
I was there too I was 17 the most wonderful concert that never left my mind from tragedy.
Allen Collins was incredible in this. Unfortunately he had a very tragic life.
That motorcycle wreck did Collins in
Yes sir Ronnie we still remember you...
It all sounds fantastic to me.
I love that Ronnie was wearing a Neil Young T-Shirt.
They played hearts out. About all can say about this.
Before crash. Lead singer died. His brother took over and really did a great job!!!! My brother who also died two years ago was a die hard Skynard fan!!! he loved skynard and could tell you who else died . I became more of a fan after brother died because it reminds me of him and brings back wonderful memories. I've always loved Skynard myself , but I was involved in drugs back in the days so I stopped listening to rock music and had kids to raise. Thanks for sharing , and have a blessed day.
All those future grannies knew exactly when the tempo change was coming. When music was about the music, not pyrotechnics, choreography or lasers. Just talent.
I had a calendar that had a picture of a Pam Am 747 on it. The caption underneath said Free Bird ... That was when I was stationed overseas counting days before I came home.
The power and wonder of the electric guitar 🎸
I’ve been playing 30 years
Best instrument ever invented
Dude was stoned who was barely moving. Sometimes you just turn into a statue you want to rock but you just can’t move. Btw in 1977 we didn’t use sunblock. It was tube tops and baby oil.
We were all young back then!
One of the greatest rock songs ever and a truly great live performance by the band. So tragic that the plane crash would happen not long after this concert. They were just hitting their peak. Enjoyed the review as always.
One of the Greatest ? There are others ? You Jest ? I never heard any better than Free Bird.
Never gets old.
One of the great legendary solos of all time
You can't have too many guitarists. Also crazy to think almost no one in the audience is younger than 60 now if still living.
A lot of now grandma's out their..
I would like to say that I was there that day, for that particular Day on the Green, but honestly, there were so many shows, and so much weed in the air, who even knows, after all this time. But I enjoyed it. Tickets cost something like five dollars, for three big name acts for the whole afternoon of music in the summer sun in the Coliseum on the lawn. Thank you to the late, great Bill Graham for producing these remarkable things of my youth.
I remember when they played Oakland. The seismic meter registered an earthquake when Skynyrd was playing Freebird. It was the enthusiastic crowd that casex it. I heard this on the news the day after the concert.
One of the greatest bands ever .
Best 3 guitar army ever!
Back in the day they used monitor speakers for the band. Ronnie Van Zant and the band heard everything very well.
The guitar army on full display
The Drummer was Artimus Pyle. The Drummers job was to keep the tempo for the other musicians to hone in on. NOBODY was better in MHO than Artimus. Sadly today, he is the only one left of those musicians who played that day back in 1977.
yall gotta watch "T for Texas live Knebworth 1976", probably my favorite live performance of LS. Leon has a slammin thicc bass line that just pounds away the entire track, with the rest of the band just shredding like you wouldn't believe, then Ronnie with the soulful vocals, it's great
Ah...memories...stadium rock concerts....damn it.
Those really "were the daze."
🍄🍄🌈🌈🍄🍄
Great reaction! Sad to think that Artimus Pyle (the drummer) and Gary Rossington (red guitar) are the only two still alive😢
Yes they were taken so early such talent never to be heard and seen ever again heartbreaking to this day
Last 3 members that passed on were Billy Powell bob burns and ed king
yep, and Gary looked SO YOUNG.... If you were to travel back in time, and tell him that he would be one of the last men standing, he wouldn't have believed it.
@todwilliams4362 You got that right (pun intended). Heck, That Smell was largely about him. Glad he's still here.
Artimus is not true member.
This was before the plane crash as the lead singer Ronnie VanZant was killed in the crash along with Steve Gaines guitarist and his sister Cassie Gaines back up singer
Those were the days 😀
I loved concerts! Hard to believe that we were all jammed into a stadium like that and there were no fights. I don't recall ever seeing a fight.
One of Jacksonville, Florida's finest, and Florida's finest bands!!!!! One of Many great bands from Florida!
All those "kids" are now in their 60's, 70's, 80', and maybe some in their 90's. I was 32 years old when this event happened and I'm now 76! I'm still a "kid" when it comes to this song!
Super! First, I was still in High School when this performance was made. Yes, I am 63 and a child of the 70's ! Best music ever. What I really like about y'all (from Texas) is that you reacted with each other without always stopping the video. I Love to see young people like y'all enjoy the music that me and my friends loved. Music was a huge part of our lives. ****Your question concerning the plane crash: it was After this performance. 4 died that day. They were the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, the guitarist with the shorter blonde hair, his wife, and a young man who was a part of the crew. Ronnie's brother took over as singer. Very sad. Thank you for treating one of my favorite songs so well. I am now subscribed and will pass this on. Your wife is so pretty and sweet. Have a great life together!
Before The Plane Crash on October 20th 1977 !! R.I.P. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and His Sister Cassie Gaines Who Was One of There Backup Singers !! R.I.P. Dean Kilpatrick ( Assistant Road Manager ) and Pilot Walter McCreary and Co Pilot William Gray !!
October 20, 1977 . . . . . The 3rd Day The Music Died.
February 1959 . . . . . . Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and Big Bopper died.
August 1977 . . . . . . Elvis died,
Sweet home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd
This is EPIC! Yes it was, and I'm so into the vibe, good too see actual music appreciation....
I was in the crowd that year when they played Philly, wasn't a girl,or guy worried about a sin burn.This still sets me off to how well I spent that evening...
My first concert was skynard I was 5 years old my mama took me ...all the people it was amazing and it was fun
Just ran across your reaction today couldn't help but watch it and then when you talked about me that's me yellow shorts blonde hair me being sunburned you are absolutely correct I fried like a piece of bacon that weekend 🤪
Before. Lynard skinard was their high school gym teacher. And the name was used in a comedy movie. A guy whose mother remarried his hated gym teacher called lynard skinnerd . ( homage to this song i assume)
I saw them in August of 77 in Anaheim Stadium, they were great. I was 17 also and got my picture in the local paper... Cracks me up seeing Ronnie wearing a Neil shirt... They were havin words over southern man... Awesome !!
So sad all of these great bands are disappearing it was the best time ever for music.The music from the 70s just made you feel good.The talent was unmatched,and the bands of today will never have the staying power that these bands had.
This was a bit before my time, but one of my favorite songs has always been Lynrd Skynrd's 'Freebird'. I love watching their live performances on TH-cam.
Amazing!!
The plane crash happened right after this concert, and Lenard skinard was the name of one of there school teachers the band named themselves after him.
It was a sad day when the Free Bird fell to the ground. Rest in heaven Ronny Vanzandt along with Steve and Cassie Gaines along with the others
So many world class guitarists in one great band!
I was a drummer in the 80s and I remember how it could be hard to hear each other. I had two big monitors behind me and it had to really concentrate on the band. Little time to relax and enjoy playing - especially at these larger venues. I'd have given anything for an ear piece!!! This concert shows how exciting they were in the 1970s. I'll bet there are grandkids today whos gramma and grandpa made mom or dad after this show! Lol 🤣
I've always thought of this song two part, at first his with his girl, beautiful and controlled, then wild and free. ✌
I saw them the next day (July 3) at Tulsa, Oklahoma.
There’s a great video of LS performing this song in Knebworth, England which is just as good, but this one was great Chod and Dee. Nicer looking crowd. 😎🎸
I did concert security for Bill Graham, the BIGGEST/MOST LEGENDARY concert promoter in the world from 1987-1993.
Though this concert was 10 years before I started working for Bill, I had worked other HUGE concerts at this location such as Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, U2, Metallica with Guns & Roses to name a few. It always amazed the large amounts of people in one place and that if you were in a helicopter looking down on the crowd, it would look fluid.
RIP to all the original band members here, they're all playing that GREAT GIG IN THE SKY. (That's the name of a Pink Floyd tune)
Also to mention regarding HEARING yourself onstage with all the shouting crowd, check out the Beatles live at Shea Stadium. They couldn't hear themselves over the screaming girls and the sound systems then were not anywhere as advanced as they are now.
Before the crash...half of the band died in that crash....the singer, one of the guitar players, a backup singer who was also the guitar players sister. Steve and Cassie Gaines. and a lot of injuries to the rest and years to heal.
Oh, Dee.
Girl, back in the day we didn't know about sun block or SPF. We freaking put olive oil or baby oil on our bodies and lemon juice in our hair to lay out in the sun all day.
I was just going to say that back then we had suntan oil & lotion or used baby oil. There wasn't any SPF 8, 15, etc. or sunblock. Oh there was the dreadful QT "self tanner" that turned you orange! 🤣
Baby oil with iodine!💜💜
@@tonidenise5134
I never heard of using iodine with the baby oil, until the comments on this thread. What was the iodine for? To stain the skin to look like one got darker faster? Or did it supposedly help against sunburn?
My favorite live performance I've ever seen
It was before the crash as the lead singer died in the crash. How many bands have 4 guitars? Not many. The piano really added value to the band. They were just becoming super popular and you can see why.
That was the name of their math teacher in high school! What a great show I saw them in 1976 at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh! What a great show!
How can you be angry or violent with these sounds? With this kind of music in my generation, we were always happy. It's all about the energies.
We didn't have sunblock back then. Weird, we didn't get skin cancer either.
Man, I saw Skynyrd about two weeks after this show, but it was at the coliseum in Madison, so a much smaller venue. In fact, the satge was on the side, rather than at one end, and there were huge curtains coming off both corners of the stage and extending all the way to the opposite wall, effectively cutting off at least half of the seating. They called this a "theatre presentation". The opening band was Brownsville Station.
We were less than ten feet away from the band. Ronnie, of course, was barefoot.
If only we had known what was going to happen in just a few months. A real gut punch.
If I'm not mistaken, the only ones in this video that're still alive are Artimus Pyle (drums) and Gary Rossington (guitar).
A lot of future Grandmas out there!
I was lcky enough to see the band afew times back then - once as a support act on their 1st UK tour, once at Knebworth supporting the Stones and once as headliners in Liverpool - a great live band. Love the reaction by the way
Can't watch it, it's gotta be live at Knebworth!! This camera guy films the girls when he should be filming the lead solo. Love your channel!
Allen Collins on Free bird is shredding on his legendary Firebird
Explorer
I live right down the road from where they grew up and where they are buried.
Now Chod, they wouldn't be playing if it were after the plane crash. 4 were killed including Ronnie Van Zant the lead singer. Naw, the plane crash was that October.
You know in high school theres always that one teacher that always made your life miserable. Well it was their coach. Always on their ass about the dress code, put in your shirt tails, your hairs too long, your sideburns go beyond your earlobe, etc etc.
His name was Leonard Skinner so they named their band Lennard Skynard. Kool, huh?
*The Plane crash happened on October 20, 1977 . Many call it the 3rd Time the Music Died. Remember the Buddy Holly Crash was the 1st. Elvis had only died two months before in August being the 2nd.*
So True .........
