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.
95% of “musicians” these days aren’t fit to carry these guys gear.
Nice😛😜😰😍🌅
Real eyes REALIZE Real Lies
I don’t know there is a lot of good bands/singers in this modern age of life
@@jacksonscomedy211 No there isn’t.
@@lildevil5283 twenty one pilots post Malon
The fact that it sounds this good, Live, close to 5 decades later now. Says everything that needs to be said. This was a band. This was talent, and skill, and performance, on full display. No autotune, no fancy nothing, just some Talented Musicians on stage jamming, thats all it was and it was everything.
Heck yeah
yes it was!
Agreed.
Raw Genetic Talent.
@@TruthTime-bs9ni AND LOTS OF PRACTICE!
No light show either, not even needed
This band screams America. One of the best ever. Definitely the best Southern Rock Band for sure!
Ahem...Allman Brothers have entered the chat.
@@daveowens6632dont forget 38 special
I agree no better southern rock band out there and never will be lynyrd skynyrd is # 1 in dad about it
Lynyrd skynyrd is the best southern rock band there will never be another one like it
Man even the latest would say let’s share that greatest moniker with the Allman brothers.
Imagine if you will alternating opening bands.
Skynyrd tours with the Allmans hmmm mmm I bet Ronnie wouldn’t love opening for anyone. To be fair it is the Allman brothers you’re talking about
Allen is one of the most amazingly talented guitar players to ever grace a stage....
Jimmy Page is the best
@@markframe6457 yep, since Allen passed, he is. agree
Everyone has their favorites. It is all subjective. Gary Rossington said that Steve Gaines was the best.
You sure got that right. Allen is the BEST
@markframe6457 No Jimmy Page is not the best
There will never EVER be another band like Lynyrd Skynyrd.....
Best Southern Rock band ever!!! RIP ,Ronnie, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines!!!
YOU GET THAT RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!
Best Rock Band Ever!! For Sure!!

Nope not ever! Glad I saw the original band in 1975.
Allen Collins is the most underrated guitarist of all time.
Yes... he is.
Couldn’t agree more I’ve seen a lot of greats he is in my top 5 was great in rossington Collins band and of course Allen Collins band
Allen Collins 🙌🏻
Allen was a beast man way underrated an on vh1 lol he was second to hendrix with the best guitar solos of all time with the free bird solo ,,, his fucking style man inm from the south an he was the shit
@@jayshanahan4502 Too sorry mate, but this is Robby Krieger. He is 2nd most underrated from all.
Allen Collin's best solo. He owned that song and Gary did a good job of supporting that.
This is 100% talent , no bullshit
Couldn't AGREE with you more! I'm 62 & they were the first concert I went to when I was 13! Saw them 3 times before the plane crash! 💯☝️🎶🎸🎤🥄💉
R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd 💔🕊️
Allen Collins was definitely underrated. He was awesome 😎😎😎
Nice to meet you too!
@JellyRollMusic Who am I speaking to?
❤
I could sit forever and listen to Allen Collins play guitar.
so, are you saying you haven't a time or two.. shame on you hahahahaha
WHY??? Its because he is the Best that ever picked up a 6 String! We will never see another like him
@@markcorbin930 The line up of King, Collins and Rossington was great and it got even better with Gaines, Collins and Rossington. I'll take either trio.
Rossington was no slouch either lol
@@atlasshrugged1855 - All of them was the best Musicians Ive ever seen! Show me a better Bass Player than Leon or Piano Player than Billy! We will never see another Southern Rock Band like this!
Ronnie is my all time favourite vocal, Steve Gaines is one of the best guitarist that ever was. But I should admit, Allen Collins is the one who defines Lynyrd Skynyrd's sound!
Mine too
And Gary
To me all time, Baddest Band, Searching, Needle Spoon, on and on😎
Right. Have got to agree with you on that.
They truly get no recognition they was great
Our generation had the greatest music ever
💯
Ronnie Van Zant was, is, and always will be one BAMF!!!
Amen brother.
Amen to that my brother
Yeah. He was
I want to get him tattooed to my skin before I pass in front of the microphone with his hat on
Love 💘 💘 him bby
"I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool, but then again Lord I've seen a lot of fools." This is a great line from this song that has a lot of truth to it.
Allen Collins....don't mess with one of the best guitarist of all time. RIP♥️
Allen Collins. How talented and hard core was this band....
Truth
Qqqqqq
U can’t be more badass like gary allen too! ❤️
Real Eyes Realize REAL LIES
Tight too !
No joke. Hard for the youngers to understand magnitude of these guys. Still heartbreaking.
Thank you for giving us this music. So much talent and not enough time but the legacy lives on. Now they’re all together. Rest in peace Gary 🕊️
Artimus is still alive.
only if they're in Jesus.
Oh man...Allen Collins...What an execution! This one sounded more perfect than the studio version. Long live Skynyrd nation and its legacy!!!!
This song!!!! The guitars are all freaking on spot! And no matter what you think of him, Artimus is on spot keeping them tight!
Artimus was a good guy... he could describe a situation with perfect wording... even though some stories were a little embelished.. its all good.
Man that clip from Oakland play freebird. Sick bad bad better than studio version. 🍄☮️✌️
Artimus was a very dear friend to Ronnie and Judy ruined everything. She is a blood sucking vampire and actually in Jan of 20 21 moved ( for the 2nd time) Ronnie's grave, " Melody and I were never happy about the spot he was in" so he was moved away from his parents and oldest daughter Tammy's plots- to an isolated area in same cemetery, the new grave 10 feet away from what she called a "peaceful lake"- it's a black moldy pond that looks like stagnant water. She is a VIPER
This is REAL music right here...they could never be duplicated...this is music with substance and meaning, my favorite band ever🔥🔥🔥
Out of all the great guitarists there is nothing like the sight of Allan Collins playing deep in the neck delivering his unique style of playing. My pick for the best of the greatest guitarists.
Allen Collins! Damn!
Buddy guy bad to the bon
Ed King was great! Smart south californian hippie as a contrast
RIP Gary rock and roll legend. Played till the end that man gave us all of him and we salute you 🤘
Oh hail yeah,,,,,Rest well Mr Gary ! Miss ya
The tone of Allen’s ending solo is mythical status.
They
That's Steve Gaines soloing
@@johnwalker4259 Steve wasn’t even in the band yet, dude.
That’s the word I was looking for “mythical” spot on. I can’t count how many times and different vids I’ve watched just to see him playing that solo
Screaming Firebird. I love it !!
Perfection but I could say that about many of Skynyrd's songs. What a gift to mankind.
Effen perfection!!!!!
Allen's second solo, is to me,one of the best of all time.
Allen Collins solo on this song is just as relevant as it was back in 76.
Man, truer words never been spoken,,,, Great song...Collins rips on the guitar and wawa pedal. Truly an under rated guitar player. With Rossington and then Gaines, the best for as long as they were, R.I.P. ALL THE BAND
Greatest American Rock band ever in my humble opinion !
Yessir!! I agree fully.
The only band
In the top 3 no doubt
Greatest band ever period...
@@jeffr9425
In my top 3 also.
No disrespect to Eddie Van Halen but Allen Collins was "THE" man...
Eddie Van Halen and Allen are my top two influences. Can't go wrong with both
Eddie couldènt get that much purè coke
@@rustybird8803 did you know EVH o'd a few minutes after leaving the stage early in his career?
Allen shreds in this song. Killer
Who says Rock n Roll doesn't have a message? Great song! Great lyrics! Great Lead by Allen Collins!
Lynyrd Skynyrd are a gift from God !
What,do,u,know,a,bout,it.
@@gfy337 listen to Simple Man.
Allman Bros. and Skynard. The only two bands i ever heard live that could produce studio quality sound on stage and make the music sound like the album.
kings of leon too
Paul Bourgeois Because they were the best of Southern Rock both bands.
No argument here.
Learn how to spell it before you comment on it
Bubby, don't forget The Who, and I have seen Pink Floyd as well
On the studio version, where Ronnie says “I know, I know, I know” and it fades out to the guitar. That for some reason gives me goosebumps, the way they recorded that intrigues me.
I like that part too
Plus Collin's clean wah soloing so emotional
I'm a fucking mess after that jam !! 🥴 🤣
Skynyrd had to be one of the best to do it live.I know they put to shame other bands they opened for and I'm sure the "stars" they opened for thought,"what do we supposed to do now"?What a band and watching Allen play that wah solo gives me a smile every time,and of course Ronnie and the rest.Also,let's not forget the message cause I know about the needle and it did me wrong also.What more can you say but "thank you guys for the music!Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd cause legends never die!
Well said👍
Couldn't agree with you more!They were the first concert I went to when I was 13 they were opening for Foghat & put them to shame! Saw them 3 more X's before the plane crash. I'm 62 & fought with the 💉🥄 for 35 years!
R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd 💔🕊️💯☝️🎶🎸🎤🌟
When he yells “SHOOT IT” the guitar player goes off on that crazy solo is one of the reasons I love this video awesome band too
Never knew Allan played so many of them leads, he’s fantastic, truly underrated.
Gary and Allen on guitar. Love this version of the band. They had an attitude and edge like they had to prove themselves every night. Think they were at their very best and the addition of Steve Gaines later on made them what could have been the best band ever to grace a stage.
Steve Gaines was phenomenal
What could have been
The first solo he's on the pedal but not the second the second is pure genius.
I came here to listen to the wah pedal sounds. That is super cool for learning!
Allen tearin it up!!!! You are missed.RIP
The bands today have no clue what real music even sounds like. Thank you for all the great music 🎶 Lynyrd Skynyrd. ❤ RIP !
Well said, maybe The Black Crowes came a little close,just because they were a southern band too,but not like this???
Thank God for this video footage!!! RIP Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Powell!!!!
And to the rest😥
Yes!!!
God how I love/ admire Allen Collins ......
His solo's are so emotional..... 🌟
Loved Allen 💜💜💜🕶🕶🕶
Allen ~ in all his glory, just captivating! Diehard original LS fans are thinking about you on what would have been your 66th birthday! 💙🎸🎼
Allen Collins , we love you and miss you , he will always be one if not the greatest guitarist , who over lived !
As i listen to this on 7March2021, 45 years to the day, it still gives me chills. Blessed beyond belief to have grown up in the 70's with these guys.... They are family....
I'm 62 and couldn't AGREE with you more! That's when music was REAL music with lyrics that had true meaning! Great memories!💯☝️🎶🎸🎤🌟
Another one of my favorite songs from Skynyrd😇🙏🤟❤️
Do these people in the audience even realize how lucky they were?? Wow!
@Mark Cianfarani Same for me when I first saw Marshall Tucker in Tampa Stadium, opened for the Doobies. Doobies sucked compared to MTB. I think most of us wanted Marshall Tucker to come back out and throw the Doobies off the stage. Way over rated band (the Doobies)
so true. from Canada
I think they did.. but sometimes it’s hard to remember.
I saw them 3 times pre crash...and yes, I realized every time how lucky I was and I still do!
I did. Saw them live in Dallas shortly before the crash. Still heartbroken in 2020.
Allen Collins was a straight guitar master.......
I'm still using the needle and a spoon and I got to say it sure is a kick in my ass everyday. Gonna try me one of those 21 day detox
They give you 40 miligrams of methodone for 3 days than gradually taper you down for 21 days. Till on the 21 day I will get 5 mil. Then it's over friend. Got to do it. Tired of getting my ass Kicked!!?
@@gilbertcaldera8724 any updates are you okay ????
America at its finest! Allen, what great one you wrote!
Such an awesome song, love Allen's playing always and Ronnie's lyrics are second to none.
Long live the Skynyrd!!
You just can't top this band.... they were just so fkn talented in every way...nobody can do this shit but them..this is the greatest band ever!
Allen Collins was electrifying great guitarist he gave lynyrd skynyrd that special sound.
Ronnie-“If ya can’t smoke it or drink it, the hell with it” a true OG
Alan Collins played his guitar solos, the same exact way every time……they say that is almost unheard of ❤❤❤
Allen put more soul and feeling in his playing than anyone
Don't mess with the needle, can honestly say this band was an inspiration growing up. We experimented plenty, but knew to stay away from the needle.
Mark Wood Except for Rossington...
Same here!!!!!
yea, bro me too.
Thats right!
GOOD. I'm really glad you knew to stay away from it. It's an absolute nightmare. Brings nothing but death and destruction and chaos. I praise Jesus every single day that I got out of that alive. By any account, I should absolutely not be alive right now. I'm a very lucky girl.
This music has aged like fine wine. And now we know. They may have been the greatest band the south ever saw. As great as the ABB. Allen Collins , Ed King and Gary Rossington. Electric guitars played with SOUTHERN accents. 💙
They SMOKE the ABB....I Love Dickey Betts tho.
I can’t think of a better band than this
Allen rips on this.. RIP Ronnie and the boys
That's some of the best guitar playing I have ever heard.
Ronnie Van Zant is so underrated. He just commands attention on stage.
Without having to lift a finger! His little brother Donnie liked to show boat on stage, Johnny a little too. Ronnie was very understated
Ronnie and the boys were in HELL House & one was picking a little Rip& a second memb.joinged& Ronnie had the 2st one backing up and start from the beginning and this is words from the BoyZ' own mouths,that Ronnie had within 20 minutes later the words to our Musical Equivalent "defining all of us"who bleed Skynyrd,our Rock National Anthem, --->
"☆ FREE BIRD ☆"^,,Thank You Lord for the time you did give us Lynyrd Skynyrd & may you appoint them to play when we are all in Heaven...!Amen...
3 lead guitars all feeding off one another,never done before,and still unheard of since..Ronnie was a Genius,and never once picked up an instrument at all,except 1(his Microphone)
"Dozer" in Carrollton, Ky
long live "RVZ"& Skynyrd..!
This masterpiece of Southern Rock helped me kick so many years ago. The healing power of music - timeless lyrics set to blazing guitars. Thank you Ronnie!
You have to have to use the needle and spoon to understand I understand I've been off heroin 7 years and was on it for it for 40.
You're absolutely right about music having healing powers! Lynyrd Skynyrd was my first concert I went to when I was 14. I'm 62 & struggled with the 💉🥄for 30 years. Rehab's didn't work but listening to music & the LYRICS finally sank in!
R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd🕊️💔
I've got a lot of musical likes. Love almost any type or genre of music. It all has it's attraction in some way, shape or form. Nobody got it much righter than Skynyrd. Been around since the 1950's and these boys will always be top notch in my music collection.
uu
+Richelle Ebert ...Yup
Years later song still relevant and kicks ass
Amen! They were the best.
stratosferico brano senza tempo ,,!!!
Man talkin holy grail here now, Allan Collins rip brother, icon, legend, etc
Collins was everything embodying a classic rock guitar God. The style,stance ,hair, and licks. Talent out the ass!
R.I.P. Gary Rossington
( 04.12.1951.- 05.03.2023.)
was an American musician and songwriter. He is best know as a founding member of Southern rock band
Lynyrd Skynyrd, in which he played lead and rhythm guitar. He was also the last living founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Rossington was also a founding member
of the Rossington Collins Band, along
with former bandmate Allen Collins.
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert in 1974 and they have been favorite American ever since!
Tell the story!!!
Did you all know that Steve Kijak is
making a movie about Lynyrd Skynyrd? #SKYNRDMOVIE
@@mimirocks6147 hey, what ever happened with the movie ?? Do you know ?
@@oneofthefew1777 it was released on Showtime, it's called If I Leave Here Tomorrow. Documentary, not a biopic. You can stream it on Amazon.
Respects Gary now up there with the rest of the Band. 😥🎵🎵
They were the best rock n roll band than anyone else and Allen Collins was a dam good guitar player that didn't get the recognition he deserved. God bless these guys
To all my brothers and sisters fighting the fight,dont give up please.life is beautiful,and it can be beautiful again.keep your head up!!
Thx brother. I needed to read that. I fight it everyday. Tryin to be a winner. I know I can do it. It will bury you boy
I had to avoid listening to this song for a long time. Cuz it would get me crazy and I would want to use despite the message. But I am now coming to the reality that Ronnie is telling us not to do it, it will kill you. And I now embrace the song in what it was meant to be.
@@chrisgodlaproductions3106 good deal Chris. I’m so glad to hear that and thx for replying. I just kept using and lying to myself. I thought I’m not hurting anybody but myself. But I’m clean today. I still smoke some weed but nothing hard anymore. I hope you are doing good a keep the faith. Skynyrd was the Best Ever to me. AC
Allen Collins is a guitar god!! RVZ, best frontman, EVER!
he was the best ever bar none. jack willis
Allen is my favorite guitar player of all time! He's amazing!
Well Hell Yeah sumbitch !
rip
Jack Arrowood AGREED!!!!!
So underrated, so powerful, so thankful to get to see this live footage of the originals!
Ronnie is the man, he brings it every song .
Ronny definatly blends right in with the Mules
Shame they are all gone. But this rocks, one of the greatest bands period
Along with Skynyrd, all the original members of Molly Hatchet and Atlanta Rhythm Section are gone, also.
Damn that was awesome, greatest American band ever...god bless Allen Collins and long live Skynyrd!!
The Skynyrd rock story may be the most tragic ever! Watch an hour or two of Lynyrd Skynyrd live videos from the '70s and you'll be a fan almost instantaneously. The legendary talent on stage is among the best you will ever see of any live performance. I always knew and respected the band but really had no idea how great they really were. And I hate to take anything whatsoever away from the obvious great talent of the guitarists, drummer and bassists, but Ronnie Van Zant was truly a once in a lifetime lead singer, song writer, band leader and frontman. One of the worst losses in Rock and Roll history that seems to be sorely overlooked.
Mike An
derson
Yeah sorely overlooked just because they're a southern band. Sad really.
Been a fan all my life seen them in 1976 in Boston. Instantly I fell in love with Skynyrd, good I miss them all.
Tragic yes, but the whole LS story is so unbelievable you know it was destiny.
@MikeAnderson .... Amen!!!!!
Collins was an absolute magician...RIP
Ummmmm, this video is ridiculously good. I love this song. Another one of my faves. And wow….. Allen is soooo fantastic in this video. I am stupidly obsessed with him. I may or may not have watched this video hundreds of times. xoxo
You are a cool chick because Allen was an AWESOME motherfucker.
I've always Said I should have been a late 60's 70's youngin....Janis Joplin is my all time favorite then Skynyrd...I never knew anything but classic rock....its all I listen too....nothing good or prideful about music today....here you can see the passion and hear the pain in their voices and through the strings....its amazig...Janis Joplin said she made love to thousands of poeple every night and went home alone.....LEGENDS
You missed a hell of a party!! No worries, just having fun, period!! Good times!! Don't know how I survived!!
Sometimes I wonder the same thing: how in the world did I get to be 70 and still healthy and active and working having gone through the 60's and 70's at full tilt boogie party on dude. It was literally life at the speed of sound -- and we had the best sounds ever with Skynyrd and other incredible groups. All I can say is ROCK ON!
That's a great way to look at it Judi.
Angel Gabriel The Doors and Zeppelin as well.
Allen Collins was a beast !!!
Absolutely!!!!!
Their most underrated song ever
The most amazing band ever...born the day of their accident.....I swear Ronnie and I met while passing into the different worlds!!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd, the best rock n roll band........EVER!
Absolutely 👍.
Agreed 👍.
The Beatles of Southern Rock
@@iamtoothewalrus I'm not knocking the Beatles, but I gotta say I prefer Skynyrd.
The Beatles have plenty of touching and emotional songs, but (at least to me) Skynyrd has something that moves me much deeper in my soul.
@@scramblesthedeathdealer I'm right with you bro - my comparison is Skynyrd never recorded a bad song, just like the Beatles - two best bands ever IMHO.
I still remember leaving the high school parking lot in 9th grade (1979) and my buddy Dave Simons coming up to me saying I had to listen to this song called Free Bird by a Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was hooked from then on...
Pure energy so bad to the bone , can't say enough about that great awesome Jacksonville band one of the greatest period.
No band ever sounds this good live Ronnie made dam sure it was that way
All that playing the songs over and over in Hellhouse made for very practiced musicians
I grew up with this great music. Southern rock. Skynyrd Molly Hatchet Blackfoot The Outlaws. What a great era
Still sounds fresh and new , that is the difference between a good song and a great song .
In my opinion, the Greatest American Rock Band of all time..
Collins never get tired watching him! Vanzant! Super stars Gary triplets!
I am so thankful for this video. Allen Collins is the greatest, ever!
I like towards the end when Ronnie says "If you can't smoke or drink it, To hell with it"
On the album "One More From the Road" Ronnie says "Don't mess with the needle, it'll do you wrong!" Good advice either way.
@@bryannepveu6807 such a great album
It would be hard to have three lead guitarist in a van, and all of them be on key every time, but Skynyrd did it. ❤❤❤
Put this Band up against any other band in History. Note for note! Word for word! Song for song! "Ronnie my buddy above all the rest! I hoped you would have success." Charlie Daniels! RIP all Members of LS Band who have died. Long live Rock n Roll! Shawn
The boys look to be in pretty rough condition from the road but they never lost any of the EXCELLENT talent they possessed. The greatest rock band of all time !
Ya, it's a shame. One more good tour and they probably could have taken a little break. Rest up, and enjoy some of their hard earned money. But tragedy struck before they could finish that tour!
@@BST-lm4po yeah man, they were just short of playing at Madison Square Garden. Something Ronnie wanted badly.
Allen Collins absolutely killed in this song. Funny enough this is one of my favorite solos with a wah pedal, and it's basically the only solo from Skynyrd that uses a wah. Allen Collins has always been underrated hes'sone of the best guitarists in my opinion.
Kids these days don't know what good music is. My god, Lynyrd Skynyrd is & always will be something special. It really sux that things were never the same after the plane crash but what they gave us will forever be cherished.
The things I have done in my life while Lynyrd Skynyrd was playing in the background just made those experiences so much better. Hard core loyal fan till I take my last breath
This is such a mesmerizing performance. The engineer who was at the controls that night absolutely nailed it. You can hear every instrument perfectly. Billy and the piano keys come in clear. The Honkettes are crisp and at the same level as Ronnie. He is a puzzle. So tough yet so gentle almost. It’s still so sad that they had no idea what fate had in store for them. What a loss. Who knows what further greatness they would have achieved. All time great group! ❤ 🙏
For a teenager during the early 70's. Growing up in ATL was heaven for concerts. RVZ was and is like family..... I was heartbroken on 20 Oct 1977. I graduated in 1977. We also lost Elvis earlier in the year. RVZ was our hero. He was one of us. The music went to our souls. I wanna go back....
Me too brother me too
