Yeah no auto-tune no bullshit. Ronnie came out there like a champion not jumping and dancing around just stood there like a rock killin' it. Btw this is called the B&S show😂😂 was that really the best name they could come up with? "The Bull and Shitshow" Actually that'd be a phenomenal name for a show!
That show was in England and they played before the Rolling Stones. Skynyrd was told not to go down stage onto the Stones tongue shaped stage. Ha- They used it and owned it during Freebird ! Totally blew The Stones away that day
They were opening for the Stones that day. The Stones would not take the stage and they’re in England. You’ve got listen to this like 10 times on a good stereo system so you an hear that bass line Thumpers laying down. They were pretty good for self taught country boys. Ronnie the singer and and leader wrote the songs and he never wrote down a lyric. He said if it’s not good enough to remember it’s not good enough to record.
Ronnie Van Zant, lead singer & 2 other band mates were killed in a plane crash in Mississippi, in 1977. Ronnie's little brother became the new lead singer, some time later. That plane became available to Lynyrd because Aerosmith refused to fly on it, due to safety violations. Interesting story. I believe there is either a movie/documentary on all of this.
Totally agree, a lot od reactors watch Oakland which sounded great obviously but the photographer seemed more interested in the crowd than the band. I get when they change tempo & 100,000 or however many clapping is cool but I want to see these guys perform. They were all so much fun to watch as well, Allen did spilt jump at Oakland, you probably know what I am talking abt, there is a photo from other angle of him in air & swear he was as high as Billy's piano. Guess it could have been photo shopped but he some cool moves. I don't pkay guitar but I can appreciate not so much that ge is jumping but tgat he is playing whatever kick ass guitar solo comes his way obviously Freebird but others as well & he is tight with rest of the band whole time. I love seeing all these guys reacting to Skynyrd as it is almost like a revival appreciation for their music. I know Skynyrd music has been played for 48 yrs! How many times have you been to a concert & know matter who is playing people yell Freebird. Their legacy continues in part due to Gary keepin a Skynyrd band going with a 10 yr break, no it isn't this band but it a tribute to these guys legacy & their songs live on.
If you want to see more great LS live footage, just watch the other songs from this same performance, "1976 Knebworth Lynyrd Skynyrd", the whole show was incredible and every song is just as good as this.
The Ted Nugent band reference you mention and trying to think of is probably Damn Yankees. And youngest Van Zant brother, Johnny, took over main vocals for Skynyrd when oldest Van Zant brother, Ronnie, died in '77 plane crash. Middle brother Donnie was a member of the band .38 Special. Definitely Free Bird from same concert is a must. Great reactions
Charlie Daniels..South is gonna do it again, a song about the Southern Rock Bands of the 70s If my memory is correct, the gas shortage was the summer of 76
Steve Gaines playin slide had only been with band like 10 mos at this time. He was killer guitar player. These guys were 1st reference I heard 3 guitar army. Steve died in the plane crash. If you are talking abt the iconic slide sound that would have been Gary Rossington, he was in band from beginning. You are ao right abt being a different time. It was a great time to grow up, All our electronics I love, if not for U tube I woud not been able to see Skynyrd live. They formed in 1964 but 1st record came out in 1973 I believe & their 5 lth album Street Survivors can out Oct 17, 1977 & 3 days later their plane crashed going to a show, lead singer, Steve Gaines & his sister Cassie was in backup singers died that day, the rest faced severe injuries & tons of survivor guilt. So many tragedy in this band but these guys out out 5 albums in 4 yrs & did more than many bands in their whole career!
Not the original lineup here, but still with founding members in guitarists Gary Rossington (long sleeve shirt w/ Les Paul), guitarist Allen Collins (all red outfit), and vocalist Ronnie Van Zant. 2nd (technically 3rd) drummer Artimus Pyle, guitarist (w/ slide) Steve Gaines, piano Billy Powell, and bassist Leon Wilkeson. Today the only original member left is Gary Rossington. Lead singer today is the younger brother of the late Ronnie Van Zant, Johnny.
Ronnie Van Zant was the original lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Johnnie Van Zant is the lead singer of Skynyrd from when they reformed after the plane crash, which killed Ronnie. Their brother Donnie Van Zant is the lead singer of .38 Special.
Ronnie Van Zant is the singer and in general, leader of the band. He also did most of the song writing. He, the guitarist with the short beard and his sister, a backup singer all died in the plane crash on 10/20/1977. Maybe 10 years later, Ronnie's brother got the group going again, taking over vocals from his brother. In all honesty, I've never watched the newer Lynyrd Skynyrd line-up perform at all. There's only 2 of these guys sill alive today. The drummer Artimus Pyle and Gary Rossington, the guitarist with the long black hair. The song "That Smell" was written about Gary's drug abuse. You have to do Free Bird from this festival. It's their best live performance of it.
RONNIE WAS THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER UNTIL HE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH NEAR BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI IN 1977. RONNIE & LYNYRD SKYNYRD PERFORMED T FOR TEXAS AS A TRIBUTE TO JIMMIE RODGERS (THE FATHER OF MODERN COUNTRY MUSIC) WHO RECORDED THIS SONG AS PART OF THE BLUE YODEL SERIES IN THE LATE 1920'S OR EARLY 1930'S!!!!!!!
I like the live version from the Convention hall 1977 ....filmed in black and white but the camera man did a better job on staying with the different guitarists while they all 3 did their own solo's....check out another Jacksonville artist JJ Grey and Mofro Live ...The Sun is shinning down or Lochloosa.
Have you seen the T for Texas video after Ed Jing left and was replaced by Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones from The Outlaws? Four guitarists on the same song. Just awesome.
There last album came out in October 17th 1977 and there plane crash was October 20th 1977 Ronnie is the lead singer and after Johnny singing now for the band after his before passed in the plane crash it was 10 years later in 1987 but in the 80’s they came out with the Rossington Collins Band with a girl lead singer lasted 2 years they had some good songs to Steve Gaines and his sister one of the back up vocals passed in the crash too and Steve is playing lead on this song only in the band for like a little over a year at this point of time there is a lot to talk about them
LOL we weren’t bored we party a lot and people actually talk face to face and music was like this and super loud and best thing believe it or not besides the Vietnam war people were nicer and could take a joke and definitely were not so freaking touchy about it ..Cheer to the good times 🍻
it really was unfair, LS had three of the most insane guitarists to ever walk the planet, all in one band, all taking lead and rhythm in equal parts. The Mad Hatter Leon on bass was nuts, Artimus always solid, Billy Powell on the tinkle sticks, of course Ronnie, the girls, they ruled. Good luck to whoever had to follow those folks(by the way it was The Rolling Stones and they sucked wang)
The lineup here is Ronnie Van Zant vocals Gary Rossington guitar Allen Collins guitar Steve Gaines guitar Billy Pawel piano and Artimus Pyle drums, anything after October 20 1977 is just a tribute band, that's with Johnny Van Zant,he could never measure up to Ronnie's
Ronnie Van Zant was the original singer and leader of Skynyrd,on October 20 1977 their plane crashed killing Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines,his sister and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines,and seriously injuring the rest of the band and crew,in 1987 the band reformed with younger brother Johnny Van Zant on vocals
Watch Freebird at the same concert last song they opened for the Stones and were told not to walk down on the stage and they did anyways MiCK was MAD best performance of Freebird ever
You think pre cell phones were boring? Crazy to hear that😊 We actually face to face talked. A phone call was Big Time, with a girl. Especially pluggin coins in a phone to keep workin it.
I need to check out their back ground to.I was going to mention the prices to go to a concert it's crazy.my friend and I went to see Stevie nicks and that was a few years ago we paid 100.00 each.Now It would have to someone very special if I went again.
The B and S show does that mean what I think it means😅 that's actually the perfect name for a show; "ladies and gentlemen.... the Bull and Shit show! With bad cheap ass internet!
Man it was frustrating listening to your comments. You two guys just don't get it. Classic Lynyrd Skynyrd was untouchable. They blew the Stones off the stage that day.
Steve Gaines slide work in T For Texas was always impeccable. What a group of phenomenal musicians this band was, fronted by a true musical genius.
There’s not a band on the planet today that can touch this LS line up
John brother their NEVER will be
Lol not a chance until they start to get some musical talent with out digital assistance.
Yeah no auto-tune no bullshit. Ronnie came out there like a champion not jumping and dancing around just stood there like a rock killin' it.
Btw this is called the B&S show😂😂 was that really the best name they could come up with? "The Bull and Shitshow"
Actually that'd be a phenomenal name for a show!
Best Southern Rock Ever! EVERRRR!!!!!!!! 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🤟🇺🇸🤟🇺🇸
Ronnie.... How long should the solo be?? Steve.. hold my beer, I'll show ya!! 👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@mikewitcombe6507ya damn right.....😅
That show was in England and they played before the Rolling Stones. Skynyrd was told not to go down stage onto the Stones tongue shaped stage. Ha- They used it and owned it during Freebird ! Totally blew The Stones away that day
This version of Freebird was awesome or should I say was there best performance of it
@@joemcbride5260they had a lot of Great Performances of this song it's just happens to be one that was filmed
If I remember right, even the British music writers thought Skynyrd blew away the Stones during that concert.
Free bird live at Knebworth....is incredible...so amazing...the guitars were King on that song.
They were opening for the Stones that day. The Stones would not take the stage and they’re in England. You’ve got listen to this like 10 times on a good stereo system so you an hear that bass line Thumpers laying down. They were pretty good for self taught country boys. Ronnie the singer and and leader wrote the songs and he never wrote down a lyric. He said if it’s not good enough to remember it’s not good enough to record.
Oh yes! I've listened to their live album hundreds of times and this was always my favourite on it. Wish I'd been around to see this line up 🤘
Me too. I love this song.
One of my top favorites by Skynyrd. A bad jam!
Ronnie Van Zant, lead singer & 2 other band mates were killed in a plane crash in Mississippi, in 1977. Ronnie's little brother became the new lead singer, some time later.

Feel sorry for Billy Powell being missed by the camera, Skynyrd on fire that day, glad B & S enjoyed it.
I was at this concert they did the best version of Free Bird at this show what a weekend it was lol
The colusium in Oakland CA was a great version as well. It's easier to hear and see. I recommend giving it a watch
Totally agree, a lot od reactors watch Oakland which sounded great obviously but the photographer seemed more interested in the crowd than the band.

Thanks a million for listening to this with us.😊
thats the way we did it back in the day im 63 and i loved growing up in the 60's and 70's any way we just hit it and then pass on down the line
Hello from Texas my first concert was fortunate to see the original band
The best instrumental is Tuesday’s Gone. The piano!
That's another favorite of mine too... and Simple Man still makes me weep.
The days weren’t boring, they were real. Not like the bullshit today. I was a teen in the 70s, it was the best.

Skynyrd was awesome sauce.

Crazy to hear that😊 We actually face to face talked. A phone call was Big Time, with a girl. Especially pluggin coins in a phone to keep workin it.
Knebworth festival in England. I think Peter Frampton played, but Rolling Stones headlined. Enjoyed your reactions.
I need to check out their back ground to.I was going to mention the prices to go to a concert it's crazy.my friend and I went to see Stevie nicks and that was a few years ago we paid 100.00 each.Now It would have to someone very special if I went again.
TRAVELIN' MAN Live.
we would drink out to the garden hose...
the stones main rule was for them not to go out on the long runway also known as the tongue but they did it anyway
Knebworth they opened for the Rolling Stones
The B and S show does that mean what I think it means😅 that's actually the perfect name for a show; "ladies and gentlemen.... the Bull and Shit show! With bad cheap ass internet!
Ya'll should check out Free Bird 🐦 Ronnie really passed Mick Jagger off. It was so dam funny.
