Summary:
Just three and a half months before the fateful plane crash that killed Skynyrd members Steve Gaines, his sister, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (of the Honkettes), and lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zandt, Lynyrd Skynyrd played this 4th of July weekend program in Oakland.
While this is only a partial recording of the show, two of the three songs are probably the ones you would skip to anyway: "Sweet Home Alabama" and the legendary closing track that has inspired legions of concert-going yokels to make millions of ironic requests over the years, "Free Bird." The first track is an excerpt of a standard Skynyrd live show cover, Jimmie Rodgers' "T for Texas" The guys take six minutes to stretch their legs on this version of "Sweet Home Alabama." The song had been released three years prior as a response song to the Neil Young numbers "Southern Man" and "Alabama," which were both critical of southern politics. Ironically, by some reports, Van Zant was wearing a Neil Young t-shirt at the time of this performance.
The show is closed with "Free Bird," which by many fans' estimations is only rivaled by Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" as the most epic closing song in rock history. Allen Collins handles most of the five-minute solo, while Gary Rossington plays the "bird-chirp" guitar parts, which are not on the original recording, as well as the slide work on the opening riffs. Billy Powell also plays a masterful piano solo that is unique to the live show.
While Lynyrd Skynyrd would release the multi-platinum Street Survivors in October of 1977, the band's structure would be fundamentally devastated by the crash of their private Convair 240 that took the lives of three members, as well as the pilots and assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and terribly injured every other member, except for Honkette, JoJo Billingsley, who was at home with her children and had reportedly begged the band to quit using the plane after dreaming of such a crash.
From the ashes of this Skynyrd incarnation, Van Zant's younger brother, Johnny, stepped in and made Lynyrd Skynyrd a popular band once more when they reformed in 1987. Lynyrd Skynyrd is planning to release an unearthed recording of pre-plane crash Skynyrd in 2009.

44 years since these legends suffered that terrible fate, your legacy lives on today ronnie.
I never see 30
😥Can’t like this
@@andrewgallagher4586 Thank gosh for little brother Johnny stepping in for helping fill the void.
Gary, Johnny, and Ricky Medlocke have kept their fallen brothers legacy going.
The boys had the plane crash literally 3 1/2 months later. RIP Ronnie, Steve, Cassie. 🙏
Gary Rossington left us in 2023. He was the last of the originals. It's so sad that they're all gone now.
Artimus is still kickin'.
@@kawasakiwhiptwo5821 Artimus Pyle wasn't one the original members.
@@BloodTar I know,I'm just saying per this performance.
I’ll tell you, I’ve been deep into the Lynyrd Skynyrd rabbit hole lately and if there was ever a better live band than them, I’d sure like to see them. Which is not intended to take anything away from the quality of music they produced. These guys were both all-time great musicians AND performers.
50 years ago a rock anthem was written. Still one the best songs ever. RIP to Ronnie and all the free birds flying proud and free!
70's rock at its best. The rawness and the unstaged quality of it. no backing dancers, no laser lights, just real talent.
Noone being offended at every single damn word in the song.
no auto-tune!
@@inactiveaccount6884 boomer alert.
@@john-kl3ux I'm a gen Z and I agree with him
just real talent - Then we get the Spice Girls.... What happened ?
No flash or flare, or any other antics. Just a damn good band singing a damn good song. Love it!
Yes sir!!!! Southern rocking talent.
But if people would be high on acid, then it's kind of like those people would be wearing virtual reality glasses, they'd still be experiencing those special effects.😂
Amen
All that stuff is witchcraft, where they're trying to lull the audience into a certain brain wavelength, where they're more vulnerable to suggestion. It's generational work that they're doing, and "they" are not all human.
Here is baphomet Diana Ross, with its eyes going full black for six seconds at 3:06-3:12. It did this right on stage in front of a whole audience. Everyone's brains created the optical illusion that its eyes were just in shadow for that moment, but look at the shade of gray in its mouth while singing, the shadows in the deeper cavity of its mouth are gray, while its eyes, which are not cavities and which are supposed to have "whites" of the eye, are full black. It's because of grafeen ockside, the same material we see in the blak eyed hybrid babies of two v'axed parents. It's the hard truth, but it's true.

Here its eyes go reptilian from 1:26-1:49. It also has the habit of bobbing its head for the camera so the viewer cannot pick up on its eyes, whereas every other singer will look straight into the camera without head bobbing when the camera is on them. But, its reptile eyes show in the segment I mentioned:

Here is reptile Byrd with its eyes shapeshifting throughout the interview. Its eyes change shape, size, and tone:

So, yeah, Lynyrd Skynyrd's music is real, not like the hocus pocus garbage from these predatory, parasitic, and demonic entities which have infested this planet and lured so many people to ck'ill themselves and their own children and parents.
Things will get better though, much better. We are in End Times and these beasts are being purged, hence why the fake Biden, etc.
Flair -actually no flair is a negative,have to agree as this is just boring,nothing original at all.
This is probably the best rehearsed band in Rock History. They developed and played these songs and guitar parts exactly the same way every time. Al Kooper immediately signed them to record and sell. On what was to be their last flight in the plane that they traveled, it crashed in the Mississippi swampland ending their dream. 6 lives were lost including 3 members of the band, the pilots, and their road manager. Ronnie Van Zant, lead singer, guitarist Steve Gains and back up singer Cassie Gains, Steve's sister were lost in the tragic crash. I heard the news very early in the morning while driving to Morgan City, Louisiana to work a 7 day hitch offshore for Shell Oil Company, rig 12.
Good insight and interesting memory.
TY for sharing.

Never to happen again. It was the golden age of Rock music
What connection are you trying to make between phones and music?
@@soslothful Have you visited a concert recently? This crowd is clapping, singing and waving along with the music. You can see all of their faces, and their eyes are all focussen in the band and the stage. Those times are gone.
@@jessicanan The last concert I saw was Tull, perhaps 20 years ago. I notice coworkers and people out and about on their phones constantly. My phone never leaves my home. It has no apps or music, it just makes and received calls. Still, it would be excessive to be on one's phone would be a tad overdone.
@@soslothfulhe was referring to people taking pictures and recording videos with their phones while at concerts.

The girls singing "aaaaahhh, Alabama" melts my heart.
Cassie Gaines - looking fondly down at her brother.... what success!
this concert brings tears to my eyes... what a great band and what a great time to be young and alive. Those were different days.
And unless you actually went to a concert that was the only way you'd ever see Lynyrd Skynyrd. I don't ever remember seeing them on television. It's truly wonderful to see Ronnie Van Zant up close, in color, alive and moving again.
Good lord so much talent on that stage. Loved Cassie and Steve Gaines. RIP you two.
46 Years ago and still sounding phenomenal!
I am from Russia and I love my country and am proud of it, I have traveled to more than 30 countries of the world and lived a decent time in many of them, but only Alabama Gulf Shores has become for me the second place on the planet where I would like to live. As a student, I participated twice in the Work and Travel program, and both times I lived in Gulf Shores Alabama. It was one of the coolest 14 months of my life and one of the unforgettable adventures. Kind and friendly people of this place, they became my friends, whom I will never forget and hope to see them again in this life. Americans, you really have a piece of heaven on earth, take care of it, and may the skies over Alabama always be the same clear and blue.
Ronnie, was bad Ass American poet , love you Mr Van Sant😜
I am from Alabama, and I love Gulf Shores also. I have always wanted to visit Russia.
Very cool message my friend. I would like to visit Alabama gulf shores now.

Steve Gaines was a monster guitar player. He is sorely missed.
Yes, and his sister too...sadly they died together
His solo was more funk infused and interesting than rock players of those days
@@akidk1499 I thought that too.
@@akidk1499 funk and blues influence when that southern rock twang in my opinion and adding to the original comment yes he was a monster player and his sister and seen in the video enjoying his playing along with the band it’s haunting to know just 3 months later we would never hear from him ronnie or her again it’s really just tragic may they rest in peace
Steve was an awesome guitarist. It must have been a nightmare to his family to loose his life and his sisters too in such a tragic and avoidable disaster. God bless them all and may they all find peace in heaven.
Anywhere in Alabama when those 3 cords are played the crowd goes nuts. 3 or 300,00 people doesn’t matter. Gotta love it. I love my home state Alabama!

Here are the band members: Ronnie Van Zant, singer - 0:33, Leon Wilkeson, bass - 0:46, Artimus Pyle, drums - 1:30, Allen Collins, guitar - 1:35, then from left to right: Leslie Hawkins, Cassie Gaines and JoJo Billingsley, backing singers (the Honkettes) - 1:48, Steve Gaines, guitar - 2:11, Gary Rossington, guitar - 2:27, and Billy Powell, piano - 4:09.
One more thing: notice how as he sings "Well, I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern man don't need him around anyhow," Ronnie Van Zant has on a Neil Young Tonight's the Night t-shirt - 1:12.
RiP, J' ville still loves you.
Ironic, he must've liked Neil Young's music.

Thank you Ronnie...
Honestly, no one ever had a good time the way young people in the 70s did.

Your just AWESOME....
That must've been a hell of a concert!
I was looking for someone like you. Tell me, can it be that the girls were much more beautiful then than now?
Whatever you wanna say, you can say, but these guys were highly skilled musicians.
The way Ronnie is looking at Steve and Allen with that huge Grin is Timeless !!! They will Forever be missed!! God Bless Skynyrd...Bo !! Lynyrd Skynyrd... Forever !!!!🙏👍🎸😎
The sheer amount of absolute babes in the audience is incredible.

And those of them who are still here are old ladies now - no doubt thinking of that concert now and then.
You ain't lyin'
Ronnie Vant Zant, such a badass. Love it!!!
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?

Just this very minute i told my partner id give my left arm to see this line up , LYNYRD SKYNYRD, 1977....seen the band in 2015 in New Zealand...awesome...
I worked only one show with them in NASHVILLE, I worked for a company that did their bookings and advertising, As great as they were there was a dark cloud hanging over them and it finally caught up with them, and losing RVZ was the end of LYNYRD SKYNYRD.

@ Edwin: agree!
Hard to disagree
Massive respect to even anyone in the audience for this performance. The rest of us can only imagine...
WOW ! That's crazy how good these guys are . This has always been my favorite band ever since I first heard them in the seventies.
now kids........this is how it used to be done.....i loved it
Man I wasn’t even a twinkle in my moms eye when they played this show, but she was only about 30 minutes away, probably enjoying her summer vacation. She was 12 when this concert happened. I can only imagine how amazing it was to be here, watching this performance. No Phones, nothing but good old rock and roll and people rocking out together. These must have been the days.
I remember those days - sooo wonderful. Those certainly WERE the days!
This group, their music is always on point and an important part of rock and roll history ❤❤
Just got into the music of Lynyrd Skynrd (I am from England, love classic rock). Got their first 3 albums, and have to say, a bloody brilliant band. Love them.
Youre not offended by our flag? Good man.
We (well I do) think the same of a lot of British bands.. Beatles, ELO, the Animals, the Kinks, the Zombies, etc. : )
Priceless vintage footage!
my 11 yr old granddaughter just discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd.. She loves them.. I love it! Rock will never die!
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
I'll bet she had a little help from grandpa!!
Que legal! Minha filha de 19 ano, é fã desta banda. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Has she learned to swig Jim Beam out of the bottle yet?
When my 11 yr old grandson was a baby this song would quiet him down no matter. He loves all of there songs now. I like to tell my son this one is his Nanny's child thru and thru. 💙
the guitar solos hit so hard. gary with his slide influence, gaines ripping the strat, and collins with his bending technique. all amazing. RIP to the greatest band of all time
Lynard Skynard has and always will give me chills. Amazing artists and great entertainers. This song is one of the top in music history! Gone WAY too soon...
I was there! 8 days before my 18th Birthday!! What a great concert (what I can remember) lol! And one of my all time favorite bands!!!
Was there too, so much energy at that time old timer!

First time I have ever seen Gary solo on Sweet Home Alabama and he sounds great here! Even in 1976 when it was just him and Allen the shows I saw Allen played all the leads on Sweet Home.
RIP Gary ! 🙏.... One of the most legendary song of all time. Thank you to the band for your great 🎶 music and what you bring to music and us. Goodbye 🙏💐
I saw them in the summer of 1974 in Buffalo ..They ended with Free Bird which blew everyone away then came out for an encore of Sweet Home Alabama..
I just love this band I wasn’t born until 1982 but I grew up listening to them and their music is what this world needs today not this other crap that’s been coming out and I love how he just stands there and isn’t running around like crazy on stage like some singers do.. I love Ronnie’s voice I’ve heard interviews he gave and I could listen to that voice all day long .. Rest In Peace guys!

i could not believe i seen them in glasgow amazing best band ihave ever seen
This music and the film defined a large part of how it felt to be in America in the 70's for me. It was a way different place than it is today - I came her from England on a holiday in 77 (rare for Brits back then) and drove through the South with my dad. It blew me away - everyone I met, and I mean everyone, were interested in talking, telling stories, taking us out fishing, sightseeing - reliving what it meant to be American. People listened to real music ( like this) had real opinions and took time to know you because they were interested. It was before the "me" culture and obsession with the green took hold as the 80's hit us all. Someone posted a comment "it will never be like this again"...they are right, it's an era that's gone. I'm blessed in my life to have experienced it, felt it, and was able to spent a small part of my youth in the 70's and in the U.S.A. God bless this country and L.S for music that defined a different place, pace and time.
Well said!
Paul Street well that's cute and all but how old are you now? Probably in your 70s
As a rural Southerner born in 1943 I would like to thank you, man.
It wasn't as blissful as you remember it, and it isn't as bad as you believe it to be today.
You're always welcome to come back.
I born at the north of Mexico 🇲🇽., and grow up listening this beautiful music, I am from Sonora border with Arizona “before Mexico 🇲🇽 “ but always listening this great music from USA 🇺🇸 country that I love so much, I remember listening hear it in the radio station from Arizona 👍👍👍👍 I am 32 and I love Mexico 🇲🇽 and USA 🇺🇸cowboys for ever 👋👋
Ruhe in Frieden, Gary Rossington, gestorben am 05.03.2023 im Alter von 71 Jahren als letztes Mitglied der Originalbesetzung von Lynyrd Skynyrd. Jetzt geht im Himmel endgültig die Post ab.
Roll over Paradise.
Such a simpler time than the f’d up world we live in today……..☹
Yes indeed. Today's USA is not the country I was born and raised in and I really miss what are now "the old days."
@@peteshea8010ya, yall let it go to shit and now you’re kids are fucked
It will be cool to be a human again soonish, though. Already the National Guard is in the subways of NYC, which shows us that big, big things are underway.
So true we were so lucky to grow up in those days. America is no longer America
