    On August 21, 1976, Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage at Knebworth as part of a daylong festival which also included Todd Rundgren’s Utopia, 10cc and The Rolling Stones. The show has gone down in Lynyrd Skynyrd history as one of the band’s greatest performances. The 1976 Knebworth show features Ronnie Van Zant’s iconic vocals and their famed triple guitar attack of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Steve Gaines in front of a crowd estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Their entire performance from that day is here for you to witness the classic Lynyrd Skynyrd in all its glory with cleaned up visuals and remixed audio, available on DVD+CD, Blu-ray+CD and DVD+2LP.

      Yes, it's true but Ronnie was also scrutinizing every bandmates performance in every possible way and detail. if they failed in the slightest...that bandmate would get an earful from Ronnie after the show...FO SHOW! Ronnie was a perfectionist and even insisted they bow to the audience at the end of their performance. The politeness and extreme respect to the audience was not only a very old school homage but also a tribute to their parents' Southern upbringing. There was no just walking off the stage with a little wave at the end of the show...No Suh! They understood exactly what their fame brought to their lives and didn't take their fans or audience members for granted. Another reason, of many, to just love this band from my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.

      As much as I agree that the 70's were one of the best decades for rock music I have to say the 60's are equally important and amazing. Remember, LYNYRD SKYNYRD started in 1964. Different name but same musicians. They were already Skynyrd in their hearts and souls. Same talent, same awesome music. The 60's were the bands that essentially created the bands of the 70's.

    35 years on, they are still Skynyrd fans and I’m still playing their riffs on my Telecaster! A life well spent.

    Ronnie was the conductor, maestro and band leader all in one! Steve Gaines took Skynyrd to a whole new level of tightness, and feel like never before. Ronnie knew he had all the pieces now to go forward for years to come. Shame a tragedy stopped a massive surge of energy and epicness we will only dream about. Steve Gaines likely would have made like 4-6 more albums with LS, but he would have branched off into blues jazz writing, and Jazz guitar/Classical as well. Steve would have had a solo career after Skynyrd, with many projects he already had on the table when he died. Honkettes were the best blues/Gospel-rock singers around period, for this type of music... They brought it in spades. They all did... God Bless these few video concert treasures we have to listen to and watch. I was just too young at the time to go see them live. Always will love their music till I die!
