Thank you everyone for your comments. Yes, Kathy and Donna knew that it wasn't a cigarette! However, we chose not to correct Lulu to let her keep her innocence a little bit longer. We promise we will tell her one day lol.
Protect it for as long as you can!
Yes you are right@@PD-hv4js
We all shared "cigarettes" back then.
Yes
Absolutely protect her innocence, I have a granddaughter about her age, and to quote another song writer....."I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then". Blessings to all of you!!
I love thinking about how all those young, wild rock chicks in the crowd are now grannies in their 60’s & 70’s and cooler than their grandchildren… 😂
Wish I could give 500 likes for your comment!! Excellent!!
Wild grandma.
So kids, you can't trick them.😅😅😅
Yep. I married one of them.
I just think about how everyone was so thin and pretty
Sadly it wasn't but a week or so later their plane crashed
I was at this concert. It was 4th of July weekend. I was 18 at the time and turn 65 in 2 months--long time ago! I was back about 30 yards and just left of center stage. It was a great concert! Skynyrd was second billing to Peter Frampton that day. Their airplane crash would happen just a couple months later. The Days on the Green concert series in Oakland were always awesome--saw so many great bands...great time to be young & free!
No shit? Lucky bastard
Thanks for the memory, partner. I'm happily in my 7th decade and well remember that plane crash as I was then writing for Cash Box, a music trade magazine. They were on our cover that week because their album ("Street Survivors") had just been released.... 3 days BEFORE the plane crash. You may remember the original MCA album cover art had the band engulfed in flames, which was eerily prophetic, especially since one of the tracks ("That Smell") had the refrain, "the smell of death around you." MCA scrambled to replace the flames (but not the song, of course) with a plain black background and we received the new cover art hours before our magazine went to press. As I recall those days, as you also seem to, I remember the lyrics from the Pink Floyd song, ("Free Four"), "The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime." Thanks to UA-cam, I get to see the reactions of "youngsters" for the first time to music we thrilled to many times. There may be hope for them after all.
@@rossstevenson6206 for real!, sadly 30 years before I was born but would've loved to be back in the 1970's watching my favorite band!
@@CharlesComstock-qs6qr You wrote for Cash Box? That is awesome also.
@@moorek1967 Appreciate your reply! Most people would just label my comment "TLDR." But old writer (OG?) habits are hard to break. Happy Trails!
How cool was Allen Collins!! 🎸 Center stage, all in white, from sombre to gleeful as soon as the song lifts off, foot stomping, big puffy mane blowing in the breeze, and absolutely shredding that Gibson Explorer as if it were totally effortless. A true rockstar guitar maestro 🎸
Indeed
This was before Eddie Van Halen too. The greatest guitar solo ever.
I believe Allen played mostly Gibson FIREBIRDS!! w/ the lead pickup wired Out of phase. I ALWAYS LOVED HOW THE GREAT 70's ROCKERS ELECTRONICALLY CUSTOMIZED THEIR INSTRUMENTS! PRUE GENIOUS!
As an Englishman, I could sit and listen to your southern accents all day and night! Oh, yeah, your reaction was great also. From an Englishman from the home of the Beatles, Liverpool.
No cell phones, everyone was present, in the moment. Many of us oldtimers sure do miss the old world.
I was there. LS wasn’t even the headliner, Peter Frampton was. Santana and The Outlaws we’re also on the ticket. FANTASTIC DAY.
@@kellahella5286 How lucky were you !
I had a fantastic time from 1971 in London attending Concerts and went to The YSA/Canada for 7 weeks in 1979 and THAT is how I remember California:).
When THe Rolling Stones followed Freebird in England, they refused to go on stage for FIVE HOURS at THe Festival...lol
@@Isleofskye For being the “bad boys” of R&R, the Stones were kinda pansies. I’m sure The Who wasn’t thrilled to follow Queen at Live Aid, but they did. Also in that same stadium I saw the final 🇺🇸 Led Zeppelin performance ever. EPIC!!!
@@kellahella5286 Long Story but I had a ticket for Led Zeppelin in 1975 @Empire Pool, Wembley and a combination of living on the other side of London with no car and pouring rain and my team losing at home in the afternoon and having a Fishmonger throw his boiling water= over my jeans meant I did not bother to go and never did see them
Ticket Price? 75 ENCE or just under ONE DOLLAR:)
75 PENCE
Can't believe it's been 46 Years ago And the majority of the crowd is in their 60s and older. An Artemis the drummer is the only one still alive. From this group, you see on the stage.
Girl in the front row in the yellow tank top had no way of knowing someday she'd be an internet star. 😂
Lynyrd Skynyrd was the name of the band, not the singer (Ronnie Van Sant). Great reaction. I saw them in June 1977 at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium. The lineup that day was J. Giles Band, Dicky Betts With Great Southern (Dicky was from The Allman Brothers), Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton, who had the biggest album in the world at that time. It was a beautiful day. I was 16 years old and my girlfriend was 14. We were about 30 feet from the stage. It's an experience I will never forget. Thanks for the memory.
So that would put you at about 62 years old? Must have been a hell of a show at JFK Stadium and what a beautiful memory of you 16 with your girlfriend it was 14 did you guys end up getting married having kids? (BTW it's Van Zant with a Z)
I thought the band was named after a janitor at their high school.
@@jamessugg7061 A gym teacher who gave them a hard time about their long hair!
You lucky sob. Damn, never got to see them. Had every album. We are the same age. We lived in the best music Era of all time. We had Chuck Barry, CCR, The Supremes, Johnny Cash, BTO and the list goes on. The Beatles, led zeplin, pink Floyd. We grew up in the greatest music ever. Bob Segar, Boston, early Aerosmith
Thank you for the reminder.
No sunscreen on the 70s! Baby oil or pure cocoa butter.(loved that smell!)😂
I grew up in the 60s & 70s... my parents bought the military surplus sunblock cream... white and thick, but it worked.
RIP the original band members (especially those lost in the plane crash a few months after this performance), Gary Rossington was the last to go to that great gig in the sky. The first line "if I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" is still poignant 45+ years later.
Artimus Pyle is playing drums here isn't the original drummer but I had the pleasure of seeing him and his band a few months ago. It's called the Artimus Pyle band and met him after the show. I'm 62 and was like a little kid meeting him. Lol. Oh he was a survivor from the plane crash too. He has a movie called Street Survivors. Check it out if you guys haven't already!
Artumas Pyle (drummer) is still alive. Ricky Medlock (gutar) a member before their first album and a member of the current Lynyrd Skynyrd Band with Ronnie VanZant's brother Johnny VanZant.(Lead singer)... Great performers. They made the Rolling Stones 2nd fiddle... They are playing together again now. What a great reunion...
Freebird makes me cry every time, so many awesome memories connected to that song❤
By far 1 of the best live videos ever. Good pick. Rip for the members that died via plane crash....
300,000+ people here. Also love "T for Texas" "Call me the breeze " several other songs in this show!
And those who died after the crash. All the original members have all left this world.
Everybody on the stage are dead now
@@johnchitwood8799 that sucks big time
@@Shortstring5 I agree totally. They were a great band, I got to see them in 2018 at a Western Days festival in my hometown in Texas
I was down on the green . Peter Frampton followed them . Free bird was one of our anthems , this and Stairway . I was 16. Man . Great job ladies 🎵👏🏼🥰
Very cool!
Sad that no original members are left they were an awesome band
I think that Artimus Pyle, the Drummer is still around.
@@frederickmoller While he is still around, there are NO ORIGINAL members still alive. Gary was the last one. Artemus was the replacement for Bob Burns, their original drummer, though Artemus was in the band FAR longer!
Thank you kindly for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd. This particular live performance is the finest I've ever witnessed, be it in person or on video.
Lynyrd Skynyrd Lives On! Generation after generation.
Seas of people like that, full of love and joy from that era somehow always get me emotional ❤
It was so great back Before The Fun Stopped.
Ronnie VanZant is the lead singer and was the leader of the band. Allen Collins guitar. Gary Rossington rhythm and slide guitars. Leon Wilkeson bass. Artimus Pyle. drums, and percussion Billy Powell piano. Thier last performance was South Carolina’s Greenville Memorial Auditorium on Oct. 19, 1977, Free Bird lasted for 20 mins The next day boarded their plane that was unsafe the Fuel gauge was broke. The only way to check the fuel was with a stick. The plane ran out of fuel the engines were burning to rich and wasting precious fuel. One engine shut down then the other did. The plane went down over pine trees killing the members of the band, Ronnie Van Zant lead singer, guitarist Steve Gaines, vocalist Cassie Gaines, that day was the saddest day in Southern Rock. I was 20 when I heard about it on the radio. I cried like a baby.
Nice summary. You know all these years it's infuriated me that they could have died by running out of fuel I mean you would think that's the first thing the pilots checked like damn "basics".... this is the first time I get the info from you that the fuel gauge was actually "broken" and that they had to check the fuel by a stick,,,what the hell is up with that!? I could see doing that if you're in a car with your buddies early in life, first car or something but when you're in the 'air' I think I would want a lot better security regarding the fuel than checking with a STICK😮
Also sad to hear of last remaining original member Gary died just last March.
Best band ever. Seen them live half a dozen times. One of my contracts I do the owner just saw them live with ZZ Top couple weeks ago sadly though they're kind of reduced to a cover band they should at least get Artemis back in there!
Yes, and thanks@@natev1956
I think Artimus is the only surviving original member left alive as Gary Rosington recently passed away.
@@leopresnell8653 He in joined in 1974, so he wasn't one of the founding members.
If I could nitpick a little.
He was an awesome drummer tho' and really rocked during this performance!
Especially when they cranked up the tempo!
@@RandomPau I didn't know that. Thank you for the info. Such a tragedy to lose Ronnie and the others at the height of their careers.
I WAS THERE , BACK IN 1977 ! THERE WAS 50,000 PEOPLE THERE ! THE GUITARIST IN THE CENTER ALL IN WHITE , ALAN COLLINS , WROTE THE SONG , SO HE DOES MOST OF THE SOLO ! THE LYRICS WERE WRITTEN BY RONNIE VAN ZANT , THE SINGER ! HE HAD A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY ! THEY'VE SAID HE NEVER WROTE ANYTHING DOWN ! SO IT WAS ALL IN HIS MEMORY ! SADLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THIS SHOW WE LOST SOME FROM THE BAND , IN A PLANE CRASH !
was it true they smoked rolling stones . this concert is my favorite of all on video it must have been awesome being there.
sorry I though that was Knebworth concert
The difference in your 3 faces when the slide guitar kicked in made my day. It told a story in itself.
One of the best live bands ever! Those boys could play. Great reaction.
I about fell out of my chair laughing when at the end of the video when the two guys were passing a joint, and the look on Lulu's face and her asking "Were they sharing a cigarette?" OMG, that was too funny.
Yes, it was.
I was there guys. It was amazing. Thank you for the great reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it
Grandma is so cute I love her!
One of the great ones for sure. Legendary band.
Watching that couple make out at the very end I think there likely some babies made that night
That was a joint they were sharing, not a cigarette
I don't think they wanted to tell the young one that.
Definitely!
The song Free Bird was witten by Allen Collins and lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. It was inspired when Allen had a fight with hia GF Kathy. She asked him if he would remember her if she left.
As a longtime Skynyrd fan seen them live half-a-dozen times and new Allen obviously wrote the solo (Rossington that beautiful slide) but I didn't know abour that fight with his girlfriend and how the song premise got started😮 interesting tidbit.
@@natev1956 Another fun fact you might not know. One of the first "public" performances of Freebird (with the long solo) was at Allen and Kathy's wedding.
@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce I checked but couldn't find any proof of that. Not saying it didn't happen but can you prove?
@@natevm7888 Just research on the internet that is what I did.
@@natevm7888 Yes they got married in 1970 of course Free Bird was done
Yes smoking up at concerts was very common back in the late 70's. I remember seeing the great group, ''Heart'' at the Hockey Arena and my group and about 20-25 people in 3 rows of seats passing around several spliffs and pipes and great clouds of smoke rising upwards. I'm pretty certain some people around us got high for free LOL The few cops in the Arena didn't dare bust anyone as they knew that could very well start a riot.
My, my, my ... such a sweet-sounding, tender break-up song by a southern rock band?! Don't be fooled, kiddos; for those of you who have never heard this song before (whether this version or on an album), don't get lulled into a false sense of safety! Buckle your seatbelt, put on a helmet, and RIDE THAT RIDE! Watch for the brunette lady wearing aviator sun glasses clapping her hands over her head and HANG ON! This IS THE BEST version ever! Such energy from the music, the musicians, AND THE CROWD (Lulu's exactly right)!
Growing up in Florida I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd many times. I remember exactly where I was when the radio station said their plane had gone down. So sad.
Love watching you girls enjoy this great performance !!
I liked to thank, the, people, who had the insight to film, and record , great day❤😮
I was there for this show it was called "Day on the Green" at the Oakland Coliseum....it was awesome
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in Savannah Ga in the Civic Center Jan 1976. Fantastic show!
Just a month before the crash. What a BAND!✌🏻🏴
We grandmas and grandpas were pretty cool. I saw this same show from the second row the September before this one. That was not a cigarette. It was a joint .
Sadly, a few short months after this performance several members of the band and entourage tragically died in a plane crash. 😥
Sadly Ronnie Van zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines , Leon Wilkerson, Ed King, Alllen Collins, Billy Powell , Gary Rossington, all the original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd have passed
I love the lady on the rights reaction its like shes seeing memories
great one of rock anthems ever!!!
Grandma is like "yep, those were the boys!!" :D
Great reaction - Yeah, this was a great performance and the crowd looks like a giant pot of lobsters. Sun screen? Bah! It's Oakland in `77! 😏
A giant pot of lobsters😅😅😅...well put. I'm a big Skynyrd fan and seen them live about a half-dozen times but I was born in the mid-70s didn't get to see them with Ronnie singing of course but his brother Johnny but when I went to concerts in the 90s seeing Pearl Jam, Tool, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Tragically Hip etc and all the alternative rock, myself along with the whole crowd would jump and just pump our fists and kind of smash into each other, we'd form mosh pits tgat I barely survived,,,,, rarely did I ever see people just innocently clapping to the beat like I see here back then.
This concert was in Oakland, California, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, at the time in the Summer of 1977 it was the home of the great Oakland Raiders, The Oakland A's and the Golden State Warriors next door at the Arena. I was at this show. Also saw them live at Winterland in San Francisco in 1976. Sadly the lead singer, and guitarist Stevie Gaines, the one on the left of the stage and his sister Cassie, a back up singer were killed when the entire bands plane went down and crashed in Mississippi in Oct 1977 about 3 months after this concert. They were in their peak at the time of this show. Incredible band.
I was in that crowd that day along with 58,000 others. I got my tickets from a friend who was a paramedic who worked all the "Day on the Green" events.
That is so awesome!
They were just one of 4 bands that played that day. Peter Frampton, Santana and The Outlaws were also playing. It really was quite a day.@@KathyLuluandDonna
This concert was just a little over three months before the plane crash that took the life of Ronnie Can Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines the 2 pilots and their road manager Dean Kilpatrick
This show was in a baseball stadium; from some angles seems like Woodstock '69! While some folks seemed sunburned, also notice there's a stiff breeze for most of the video, so folks probably weren't suffering from heat problems. The guitarist in the brown, leather pants was Leon Wilkeson, the bassist, the 4th guitar in the group; he died in Florida on July 27, 2001.
This is the first time watching one of your videos and I enjoyed watching you three ladies get into this song. Especially the lady on the right...I could see her mind going back then and remembering those good time!
@Kathy&Lulu, to all ya beautiful ladies, that was great watching y'all's reaction, I loved it 😊
Saw them in 1987 on the reunion tour that spawned Southern By The Grace of God" and again in 2018 on the Last of the Street Survivors tour. Two very different concerts, but both amazing shows.
Fun side note: The hat that Ronnie was wearing was made by Texas Hatters in Lockhart, TX. They also made the hat SRV wore.
In the mid 70s, my cousin from New York moved out to California where I was living. I played this cassette in my truck constantly whenever she and I would go out together. I think it drove her a little crazy but this song was an anthem to me in those days. She eventually moved back to New York. 😁
Music of my youth..great being a teenager in the 70s...the LADIES WERE AWESOME! So glad I was able to experience it!
The group got their name from a line in the Alan Sherman song Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda about a guy at camp. the line is " You remember Leonard Skinner? He got Ptomaine poisoning after dinner. The boys in the band loved it and thus the name was born ( more to come after the video, thanks )
Im from the UK and the South gave the world Skynerd and the Allmans thanky you so much. Alzo the accent i like a lot.
Well-played, grandma, on Lulu's comment on the two guys sharing a "cigarette." Too funny. I saw them in Athens, GA before they were this big. Opening act was Mother's Finest, which you guys may have heard of and would enjoy checking out, too. I'm sure grandpa knows them. Enjoyed your reaction!
Saw them in Little Rock in the mid 70’s and the intensity was off the charts. About 1/2 way through Freebird some tall, blond, long haired guy walks out on stage wearing nothing but cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Yes, butt naked! He stands there grooving to the song while the band is tearing it up. The band is loving it, the crowd is loving it and when security starts to go out and remove him the band says leave him alone. Unforgettable! Of course he’s high, drunk or all the above. Finally after he’s up there for 5-10 minutes they haul him off. Whoever you are man, if you ever see this, from me to you and I’m sure I speak for hundreds of other people, “Thank You for making an awesome concert even more unforgettable than it would’ve been”.
I appreciate y'all teaching Lulu all the good stuff. She will grow to appreciate it more in her life as she matures. It will make her a more rounded person. It's good to see
people get interacted with their kids, and not neglect them. Good Luck, and God Bless.
Still F****n Awesome!!!
Fly high Freebirds!
Just came across you gals a few days ago. keep up the great stuff you guys. you have something that has kept me coming back. you are yourself that is very hard to find today with all the sheepeople today. Im a old guy in my 50's lol I normally go with a a style of music that to be honest you don't look in your pics like we would enjoy the same things. I have to tell you its kinda like sitting around with my family years ago with my own grandma and my aunt they had the same values you seem to have. It's a great thing to see REAL PEOPLE AND GOOD PEOPLE ON HERE. yOU HAVE MADE ME SMILE MANY TIMES. stay yourself's I love that lol, sorry for caps lock.
Thank you so much. We are so glad you're enjoying our videos.
Ladies 👍👍 this series of shows was Oakland ca. It was called "a day on the green"there were at least 4 artists/groups and it's my understanding that tickets were $ 12.50
This was was about three and a half months before the plane crash, Steve Gaines had joined the band about a year earlier and they were better than ever
Yall need to review Call me the breeze if you want to really hear just how good Billy Powell can play the piano. Its unreal.
Ya damn right.....
And "T for Texas" bass, guitar, drums are AWESOME, SHMACKTASTIC!
Amazing thing is they were a support act at that gig, not the headliners. Same thing happened the same summer in England. They played at Knebworth as support act to the Rollng Stones. And get this, they totally stole the show. Fantastic entertainers. And great that you guys totally appreciated that in this video.
LuLu gettin' after it, get all the way down with your self girl. My only wish is the kids of today could have the music from these days when bands actually had to work to become good and their souls were exposed to all of us through their music. At the time we didn't know how lucky we were to grow up listening to this and all the other great music we had. Bless both Kathy and Donna for taking LuLu on a journey down the roads we traveled. Keep On Rockin' In The Real World !

I have seen 100s reviews of this and YALL 3 seemed to enjoy it the most. Thanks for the reviews! Great band
Thanks for watching!
😂 That was a joint those guys were passing around in the end. And yes, passing around a joint was very common back then, especially at outside concerts. I was about 20 or 21 at the time of this concert.
I was lucky enough to see therm about a month before the plane crash. You can see 2 of the 3 band members that died. The lead singer. The guitar player that you can't see much of until the end with the beard white shirt and dark pants. and his sister a back up singer you don't see.
Love grams reaction all through she knows what's coming and you can see her go back to the 70's wonderful decade for music
Ah, some additional information. They were in 77 in Great Britain, they were on the stage before the Rolling Stones (and it was forbidden to go out on the tongue).
The crowd turned absolute crazy... later the Stones played. Then they asked what encore they wanted. The crowd called "Free Bird".
That is the absolute insult to every other band, because NOBODY could play Freebird without training weeks or months for it.
There is even a meme about "Free bird" for other bands to be demanded to play :D
I'm glad you chose a live version for Lulu's first time
. . . trying to explain jumping guitarists just wouldn't be the same.
So sad that later in 1977 we lost the lead singer Ronnie VanZant, the (then newest addition and outstandingly talented) guitarist Steve Gaines (shorter hair and beard in this vid) and his sister, back-up singer Cassie Gaines in a plane crash.
It took them many years to come back but they finally did with Ronnie’s youngest brother Johnny VanZant as the lead vocalist in the very late 80s. I saw them a handful of times live between 1990 and 1996 in my teens and early twenties and they always always shook the ground!
We’ve now lost every single original member of this amazing group but there is NO doubt their legacy will remain.
Was is Donna on the right?
You could clearly tell she had great love & memories for this song. ❤well done
back when concerts were the biggest thing to do, and there were so many really good bands to see at a concert, one could attend a concert every weekend in the summer if you lived near a big city.
The greatest American band in history
All original members now gone,RIP., but not forgotten
This concert was so good even Jesus shoed up to cheer them on at 14:47 on the left.
This reaction is so cool I am watching a 2nd time, and I just have to add another comment.
They say soldiers get a "1000 yd stare". Donna has that stare in a good way. She is looking back and transformed back to that time - like I am watching this concert. Such good times.
The young lady on the right side (Donna) of the frame... the slight smile... of knowing what is coming... makes me smile.... ROCK ON! And just think... most of those guys and gals in that crowd.... are somebody's grandma/grandpa today!!! - Where are y'all from? You sound like home....
Something else to think about... there are three guitarist taking turns in the jam.... but ONE bassist....
We are in the State of Texas in the United States.
I am in DFW .... @@KathyLuluandDonna
Three months after this concert the lead vocalist and founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister) died in a plane crash...this song has a different meaning to me now
And THAT is why people shout Freebird! At every live cover band. 😊
Mom smiling when she knew the solo start was like hang on girls it going get wild
So fun, wish I was there!
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd three times in 70's....WHAT A BAND!!.....tragedy about the plane crash. 😥😥 Thank you very much ladies. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
That smile!
Those beautiful ladies in the crowd are someone’s grandma now.
Mid 60's now likely. 2023-1976 =47,,,,, Plus if they were say 17 at the time yeah theyr up there wee bit😅. Maybe a gilf...no?
The beer can was the first thing I noticed on his piano. Lol.
My first concert i had just turned 17 in April of 1977.
Goosebumps every time, I was there that day……..
I didn’t get too see the original group but I did see them with Ronnie’s little brother singing lead and it was amazing
Its a very beautifull song it makes me cry.
This concert happened a few months before the plane crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant the singer Steven Gains the Guitar player on the left of Ronnie and Cassie Gains Steven sister she was one of the female background singers
This used to get lots of play time at the pool hall.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
The last surviving original member, Gary Rossington (he's the one playing slide guitar on the Gibson Marauder)just passed away. As the Righteous Brothers said "If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand! If there's a Rock and Roll Heaven, then you know you've got a hell of a band!". RIP LYNYRD SKYNYRD!
I could see Donna taking a stroll down memory lane. And I do that exact thing when I hear Free Bird and Pink Floyd. I was only 11 years old when they performed this concert. Do a Stevie Ray Vaughan Live Performance of Texas Flood and you'll all be Amazed by how he plays his guitar 🎸.... Great Show
I'm from Massachusetts. I've been a fan of Skynyrd since their plane crash. 1977 or 76. This is my go to band when I listen to music. I ride a harley. Every time i go out on my bikes. Call me the Breeze i listen to before i head out to ride. Gets me feelin good & rearing to ride hard. I have all there albums
Yall should watch the VH1 Behind The Music on Lynyrd Skynyrd. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you will wear that Skynyrd shirt with pride. BTW .. the band formed when they were in high school. The teacher they hated the most was coach Leonard Skinner. So just to irritate him they named themselves after him. Their plane crashed shortly after this concert. Singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines (white shirt, brown pants in this video), and backup singer and Steve's sister Cassie Gaines were killed. Over the years the rest all passed on. Recently Gary Rossington, the lone survivor from the original line up (doing the guitar into with the slide in this video), passed away ending the era. RIP LYNYRD SKYNYRD. PS ... Coach Skinner passed away back in 2010.
This was just before the plane crash in October 1977, October 20 to be exact day before my birthday. I was nine years old when the plane crashed. And then guitarist playing the slide was Gary Rossington he passed away this year April 5, 2023 I had a stroke April 4, 2023, so this is one hell of a way for me to remember their deaths.

I was fortunate enough to have seen then several times, we were going to see them again in BR when the plane crashed on the way there, I may still have my ticket ...
I graduated high school in San Jose in 1977. This concert at the Oakland coliseum was the concert of the year and mind you this is at the height of the disco era. The weekend we all found out about the plane crash, the tower record stores were rushed, all their albums sold out. There was a guitar center store on Bascom Ave. where celebrity musicians would show up from time to time. Guitarist grown men were balling like children. I don't know I guess you had to have been there. Excuse me now please I need to go back to my rocking chair.
