Summary:
After years of life on the road and with their role models, the Allman Brothers Band, struggling to survive the deaths of two of its most distinctively talented members, today Lynyrd Skynyrd has become the quintessential Southern Rock band. Under the leadership of frontman and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, the group's melodic lyric driven ballads and power driven hard rockers would catapult the group into one of the most popular touring bands in the world. The group's distinctive guitar attack, combined with an overtly defiant and rebellious attitude, gave them a cultural identity that would help make songs like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird" into anthems of American rock music and staples of FM radio right up to the present day.
Headlining a bill that also featured the Outlaws, this Winterland recording captures Lynyrd Skynyrd following the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets. This was during a transitional phase for the band, following the departure of guitarist Ed King, but prior to his replacement, Steve Gaines, coming on board. The band was carrying on as a six-piece unit, augmented by the Honkettes on backing vocals.
This is an interesting time to hear the band live, as their trademark three-guitar attack was reduced by one guitar, leaving more room for keyboardist Billy Powell. On the ballads, like "Tuesdays Gone" and the pre-jam verses of "Freebird," Powell displays great creativity and expands the keyboard's role in these songs.
Otherwise, the band rocks as hard as ever, with a good selection of their most popular songs, sampling a bit from all four of their studio albums. The group's defiant Southern swagger, combined with an infectious guitar and piano driven groove, creates an irresistible combination that resonated far beyond the Southern states. Two of the standouts on this show are both well chosen covers, which the band redefines as their own; J.J. Cale's "Call Me The Breeze" and Jimmy Rogers' "T For Texas." Both of these are rearranged in classic Skynyrd style, with the latter closing the set and clearly displaying the root sound of the band at its best.
The audience demands an encore and the band obliges with a monumental "Free Bird." It begins as a plaintive slow ballad, with Van Zant's distinctively sad vocals over the melodic keyboard playing of Powell and delicate slide guitar ornamentation from Rossington. However, it is the second section, which becomes an up-tempo guitar boogie, that really hits home. Here the guitarists cut loose to create one of the most distinctive solos of all time. Rossington and Collins turn this section into a soaring jam that also features impressive melodic bass playing from Wilkeson and furious keyboards from Powell. Following a brief reprise of the song, they turn on a dime back into the groove of the jam before bringing it to a climactic close.
"Free Bird," more often than not, sarcastically, would become the most requested song of all time. For musicians, this inevitable request has become so tiresome, that the act of requesting it has become universally known as "the mantra of the moron." Still, this only goes to prove just how deeply this song has permeated American culture and is a testament to its enduring popularity, making it one of the true landmark rock songs of twentieth century music.
RONNIE VAN ZANT GODFATHER OF SOUTHERN ROCK ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
It's amazing how much of a presence Ronnie had by just simply moping around in bare feet.
Leonard Skinner approves this band...
Long live THE Lynyrd Skynyrd band
SOUTHERN BOY - 1976 - LISTENING TO SKYNYRD - ME!!!! Still listening!!!!
Perhaps the greatest live band of all time. Unbelievable.
I was 18when I started listening to them now I'm 62 and I'm still listening all them years.never forget Oct 20 1977 I can remember where I. Was and what I was doing Skynyrd for life
No Doubt the Baddest Band, American made, much thanks Jacksonvill Flat😎😍
Searching has got to be Skynyrd's most underrated song!
Agree
One of the many
Underrated? Everyone I know says it’s great.
Yep but what a true gem this song is!
But not by me!! I karaoke belch this dig out whilst driving my taxi
The FUCKING best. Period. No one will ever come close to these guys, or this legacy. The best to ever grace the stage.
Incredible energy, no band can ever top these guys, no matter the genre
I agree the best band EVER Gary and ALLEN PLAYI GOFFEACH OTHER
RONNIE S LYRICS ARE AWESOME
Their best album in my opinion
Those were some BAD BOYS, son!
all of these winterland tracks should be preserved n a museum for all to enjoy
they are preserved in a salt mine under ground.
they are here on youtube^
Yeah, but youtube is a fucking business, owned by Google who if you remember got rid of all consumer groups,they didn't make enough money, keeping only business groups. No telling when they will decide this isn't profitable enough and end it.
We all will forever be "searchin" for any group that can hold a candle to these boys!
Amen brother. There will never be a band of this caliber. Never. Skynyrd was and still is,in my book, the best band to ever grace a stage. Salute.
👍
Amen brother!!
Yup
Damn Straight!
Hell yeah Johnny boy loves Skynyrd...
Ronnie Van Zant: One of the greatest troubadours to grace our world.
Yeah I been listening to Skynyrd since pronounced came out. Thought when Ronnie died it was the end for that band. And for me it was. But I do like some o f the new ones. But it still ain't the same. Y'all old whiskey rock n rollers know what I mean
Excuse me , I hope Mr Rossingtin quite smoking , the first time i saw that sliding guitar was Johnny Winter, Gary's rite there. American Made😝
Allen Collins and Gary Rossington unleash an unstoppable rampage every time they play off each others solos
Allen Collins and Gary Rossington is the best guitar - attack ever
65 I play this song every Time I partake and. Kill my last remaining brainsells 😝
RAMPAGE! Perfect descriptor
That's only 100% fact.
RIP, Gary
Gary playing like a great guitarist he is holding a smoke between his fingers...priceless
Love love love this song. Not satisfied.
Lynyrd Skynyrd.....Truly a piece of Americana !!!!
Yes! TRUE America!! None of this crazy left wing liberal bullshit!
God bless America and if y'all don't like it that just assures me of your special place in HELL
I agree as long as your talking about Ronniw Vanzant Allen Collins Gary Rossi gtown Steve Gainez Artamiss Pyle Billy powell Ed King I think the new Lynvard
Skynyard should
Have to put an * by there name of the bNx
Lanyard Sky yard *
about
I. Think Lynvard Skynyard was conservative more so than liberal or could be thats what I want to believe I would like to know were Ronnie stood on issues like Abortion border control things like thatcI believe Ronnie van sant could have or would have been a politician or atleast influencing people
Well their anti-gun anthem was Saturday Night Special, they had several pro-environmental songs, and Sweet Home Alabama appeared to be critical of racist Gov. George Wallace. Just some examples that seem to point to them being Liberals. Plus, not all band members were from the South - one was a hippy from California, another a hippy vegetarian from North Carolina, another was from Oklahoma.
Omg I love them so so much. God I wish we had bands like this 2023.
They do the band is called Lynyrd Skynyrd.
@@MattHisagi I’m talking from the beginning with young musicians as they were and the original is gone.
@@MattHisagi not the ones on this video.
@@Msdrivensoul Look into Greta Van Fleet.
There is a like button kids smash that thing!

Wow a morning Dove will find you Love wow that's prophetic the Holy Spirit..Amen...RocknRollflat5
Best rock band ever was been listening since the '70s
One of the all-time greats
Absolutely the best band to take a stage. Allen and Gary are insane on the guitars. No one like them. And never will be. I'm so blessed to have lived during the Skynyrd era of music. The best music ever made.
RONNIE VAN ZANT the best rock and roll singer of all times , nobody like him !
Greatest fucking band ever. And this is without Ed or Steve!
Rest in peace Gary. This one stings a lot. Thanks for the music ❤️
Gone before their time...will always be missed....great song.
Last of a dying breed! No pun intended! This was a great time for southern music and people who took pride in being fom the south and being American!!!!
Allen Collins was just mesmerizing
Allen Collins forever!
@@antoniocarvalho6720 you're so right
Unreal. Was about to turn 15 when I was at this show.
Help me, Bad As Song, food for my Soul😊
You just got rocked by the greatest rock band that ever lived!
FREAKING INCREDIBLE! ABSOLUTELY LOVE SKYNYRD!!!
I will always been a Lynyrd Skynyrd kinda girl. Love them !!!!!!!!!
Just imagine how many more great shows and albums they would have put out if not for that damn plane and those idiot pilots. Unstoppable force they were in their short time together
..we are blessed to have had them at all!!
Damn! Skynyrd was such a legend. Definitely blues at its very finest.
The first four notes Gary plays tell you all you need to know.
This is one of my most fave Skynyrd Tunes.
The Gary solo at the end, and the film work there, is one of my all time favorite rock moments. Gary’s groove and tone are just special. With the cig in the hand. Whole band sounds on fire. Getting Ronnie in the background grimacing in ecstasy at 3:07 says it all.
Prince was
@@robertallen3912 is this an AI response gone wrong ha? Prince was what
Kinda Gary Rossington was prince charming
@@robertallen3912 ah that’s right that was one of his nicknames
They were SO tight at these shows! They did 2 or 3 nights at Winterland( I can't remember) but Cameron Crowe said these were the best shows he ever saw them do.
Gary & Bernice in Top Form🎸👍🏾😎🤳
Probably my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song
He stands on stage no frills all skills , i love you RVZ rip baby
The drums sound great.
Rest in peace last surviving original member Gary rossington...
✌️❤️🙏✝️
This song brings me back to 1976. My favorite song off the "Bullets" album.
Never quit searchin' for the barefoot travlin man
Ha....Great comment Sherry !
thanks joe...
RIP RONNIE,STEVE,CASSIE now the angels tap their feet in rythmn and time ,truly greatest band of the era
I think the angels were tapping their feet when they were on Earth, too.
Brilliant song! Another masterpiece by incredible musicians! I can’t get enough of this song. I could listen to it on repeat all day every day, every day. xoxo
I never search, but I understand a man feeling this way more so than a woman. I have love, but I doubt I will ever be in love with a man ever again.
Me too badass song and lyrics 😂😂🤣
All time best....right here....listen son.
REST BROTHERMAN AND KEEP ROCKIN IN HEAVEN. GARY ROSSINGTON. MARCH 13, 2023
who in the hell thumbs down skynyrd!!!! Pull your pants up!!!!!
Malinda Matthews probably some liberal fuckstain from California!
🤣🤣🤣
One of if not the greatest song writer in History imagine and remember Ronnie never wrote anything down. Nothing a challenge anyone to write songs without writing them down
That voice drives me crazy
+Angela Heard THE BEST YA
That's because it's the voice of a real man. They have been largely eliminated due to the leftist communist agenda of the feminization of the American male. Just gping to the gym gets me sick seeing men in their little anklet socks. If I wore those in the 70's, I would have got my ass kicked.
Damn that's some ass kicking southern rock. I was 16 when this tune came out cruising in our muscle cars popping 714s and beer searching for the next I don't know what. What a great time to be young with hair down to my back.
Searchin is my tune by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Meant to add favorite
Skynyrd till I Die!!!!
Awesome track , Ronnies vioce is just pure butter
Still gives me goosebumps.
L S always and forever
# 1 band.
Love Skynyrd 💕
To the ones who thumbed down, just remember we don't need ya round no how. RIP Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, ,Dean , Allen, Billy, Leon, Ed, and Bob.

LYNYRD SKYNYRD LYRICS
"Searching"
I asked the wiseman one sunny day
Can you help me find my way
You're so much older and wiser too
Would you help me mr wiseman
I'm feelin' blue
Oh I'm not satisfied
He said you're not doin too bad, not bad at all
You're just trying to walk son before you can crawl
You got stacks of money to sky up above
Now all you need is to find you a love
He sent me searchin' to find my love
He sent me searchin' to the Lord up above
He sent me searchin' just to find the mornin' dove
And she'll tell you where to find your love
Oh mr wiseman I need to find my love
You can have anything in this god's world
But you won't be happy son 'til you find a girl
Now you can be happy boy if you try
Find a woman boy, you'll be satisfied
He sent me searchin' to find my love
He sent me searchin' , I said Lord up above
He sent me searchin' just to find the mornin' dove
And she'll tell you where to find your love
He sent me searchin' to find my love
He sent me searchin' , I said Lord up above
He sent me searchin' just to find the mornin' dove
And she'll tell you where to find your love
Oh Lord, he sent me searchin'
Such a brilliant song
Its a tribute to this fucked up world that this song has this few views. No more to be said, nothing. This band was eliminated. Plain and simple. They were crushing it.
Most of us who matter r In heaven now...not on a smart phone😎
👍
God loved them boys so much he called his band home to play for him. I think he left a few down here for us to keep it going
