"In My Time of Dying" from the 1975 Earls Court show...Plant and Page are amazing; but Bonham on the drums just incredible...otherwise, basically any song from the '73 MSG show..."Since I've Been Loving You"; Stairway (of course) or "The Ocean"...problem with reacting to some of the others from that show is its from the movie "The Song Remains the Same" and you don't see the band playing throughout many of the others like "Dazed and Confused"; "The Rain Song"; "The Song Remains the Same"; and arguably one of Page's best solos in "No Quarter"...one last suggestion; "Achilles Last Stand" from the 1979 Knebworth show...thanks for doing these...really enjoy seeing folks see Zep for 1st time
The good thing is it is hard to pick a bad Skynyrd song off of their first few albums. I would suggest "That Smell", Ballad of Curtis Loew, Needle and the Spoon, or Simple Man.
Saturday Night Special is a good one that doesn't get enough love. But you can play any song from their first five albums and enjoy it. That would be an interesting concept. Just randomly pick one from those five albums.
The drummer Artimus Pyle is still alive. He replaced Bob Burns after he had a nervous breakdown. Pyle is the drummer in the live performance in Oakland California 1977.
My favorite performance of Freebird. I'm 66 now and this was the anthem of my youth. Lulu, all those young girls are grandmas and great grandmas now. I feel so fortunate to have been in my teens in the 1970's. We had the best music, hottest cars and cutest gals. I prefer this version over the studio because of Billy Powell's piano playing. Now that Gary has joined the other members of the guitar army it's said that guitar solo is still going on in the here after.
Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. It is very sad what happened to this band in losing so many members in a plane crash in 1977. My favorite songs are "Simple Man", "Free Bird" & "Sweet Home Alabama". They had lots of great songs such as "Call Me The Breeze", "Tuesday's Gone", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name", "Saturday Night Special", "Gimme Three Steps" etc.
Ive seen Artemus Pyle (drumer from Lynyrd Skyntrd) live 4 times right here in my small town. I hang at a small place called High Rock Outfitters in Lexington NC. And he comes to just stop in and jam.
The band learned piano-playing roadie Billy Powell had written an introduction to the song; upon hearing it, they included it as the finishing touch and had him formally join as their keyboardist. Great song and reaction!!
Actually in 1973 Billy started to play freebird on and they all looked around at each other and said you can play this good and then he said you're fired as a as a roadie and hired as keyboard that's how it goes
The way I heard the story. The band had assembled for a practice at "Hell House" and roadie Billy Powell was with them. When Ronnie called for this number Billy said I'd play it like this. No one knew he was a pianist. He sat at the piano and played what has become the classic opening of Free Bird. Ronnie fired him as Roadie and told him; "You're in the band."
In May of 1976 when Steve Gaines joined the band he made them a better band Allen and Gary stepped it up and then the plane crash and that was the end in my opinion! Look up someone took Ronnie's hat in Tokyo Japan 1977!!
Being from Florida, this band is my favorite Southern Rock band of all time! Molly Hatchet comes in at number two! I was only eleven when the plane crashed, but their Platinum and Gold album was the second one I ever bought myself at fifteen years of age. I'm fifty seven now, and still have it!
This is the greatest live performance in all of history. The studio version was played A LOT on the radio in the 70s and 80s, also the live version from their live double album. The chicks were there in droves and up front because Peter Frampton was the headliner that day, and he went on right after Skynyrd. He was a teen idol, and he became hugely popular. Great reaction.
That is Gary Rossington (Ross--ington--- :like Ross from Friends) on the slide for the first half of the song. Allen takes over and channels every G minor riff he can imagine.
I look at live music like this and the more I realize rock & roll of the 60s through early 80s was the magic time of rock music. I want to state that there is other music that is special, but this time is magical Rock and Roll was still new and being perfected. In history, rock & roll will be on a level similar to classical music, in that it will be listened to 100s of years from now. One of the best eras of music in the history of the earth. We didn't know it at the time.
They weren't supporting or opening for Frampton. That was Day on the Green. Bands a LOT Bigger than Frampton. He was there like everyone else. Green #1: Fleetwood Mac, Doobie Brothers, Gary Wright, (May 7, 1977). Day On The Green #2 & 3: Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Heart, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Foreigner (May 28 & 30, 1977). Day On The Green #4 & 5: Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Outlaws (July 2 & 4, 1977).
My favorite version of this hands down. 3 1/2 Months after this concert the singer and one of the guitar players along with his sister who sang back up are killed and everyone else injured to some degree some quite seriously. We are all lucky to have recordings like this, in our hearts they'll never die. Cheers.
I often think about what a blessing UA-cam is to the world of music . All these moments would have been lost & forgotten like they never happened. , like all the great preformances before them .
How refreshing to see it was in the era of no phones and people watching and living for the moment, with memories held in the mind only. This track was often played in the UK in the seventies on the wonderful pirate, Radio Caroline
Everyone in the southern US immediately recognizes the opening licks from Sweet Home Alabama. When I was a kid you had to learn Stairway To Heaven. Since the time SHA came out, it's the first thing you want to learn (at least below Interstate 20). Every time Skynyrd, ZZ Tops, Willie, Paul Thorn, or Home Free has been in my neck of the woods I've gone to see them. I wish I had seen SRV before he passed. BTW, DJs loved long songs. It was a bathroom break. I remember when it all started with In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. :-)
Hi coming from England growing up listening to this Awesome music and yes I did do a lot of head banging Rock music from the 70s 80s was music I could relate to I am now retired and still listening to this Awesome music All the best from Nottinghamshire UK👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was one of Bill Graham's Day on the Green concerts. Besides Lynyrd Skynyrd, there was also Peter Frampton, Santana and The Outlaws performing. The price for a ticket....$11.00
I just went to my first concert on Aug 20 and i''m in my mid 50's.. My favorite group ZZ top was playing in Indiana and Lynyrd Skynyrd was also playing it was the best!!!!!!!!!!
Ricky Medlocke was an early member of the band. He was a drummer at that time. He is now one of the lead guitar players for them. He left for a while and formed the band Blackfoot which is definitely worth checking out.
This was one of the "Day on the Green" series they had at the Oakland Coliseum in the 1970's. I didn't see this one, but 2 days later on the 4th of July was the same line-up. That one I was at. Skynyrd wasn't even the headliner. Peter Frampton played after them. Carlos Santana was before Skynyrd and I can't remember who started it off, but there was a fourth band. A little over a year later on 9/2/78 was my last "Day on the Green". Ted Nugent, Blue Öyster Cult, Journey, AC/DC, Cheap Trick. It sucks to get old.🙃 EDIT: One more thing. A ticket for the whole day...$10-$15. God I'm old.
A few months later we would lose Ronnie and 10:11 Steve Gaines ( red pants), Steve's sister Cassie (backup singer), road manager and 2 pilots in a plane crash. 20 others survived but had serious injuries. Steve has such a great singing voice too. They weren't even the headliner this day. It was Peter Frampton. Billy Powell piano player was a roadie and when group took a break he sat down and started playing the song, Ronnie heard him and said from now on your in the band.
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker. Charlie Daniels in the Orange Bowl in Miami in 1975 I think it was. Amazing how my memory is going. But I remember that concert. The drummer is still alive.
That was Gary Rossington (in the splotchy black 'n' white shirt with the red guitar) doing the "tweet tweet tweet" (a free bird?) on his guitar (bottle-neck style). A tender break-up song; but once the fellow's free, HE GOES and doesn't look back!!! Thanks for joining the growing (too slowly, for me!) ranks of Oakland live performance "Free Bird" reactors!
I am 62 years old now and I was at the last concert on October 20th 1977 the night before the plane crash! It was amazing then the next day shock and sadness!
I was fortunate enough to see the original band in New Orleans a couple of times. They were great. The night their plane went down I was in line to buy tickets to the show in Baton Rouge when the crash was announced. Sad day it was.
"A brief candle, both ends burning. An endless mile, a bus wheel turning. A friend to share a lonesome time, a handshake and a sip of wine. Say it loud and let it ring, we're all a part of everything. The future, present, and the past, flight high proud bird your free at last." .........................Charlie Daniels-(written for lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, who was a close friend of Charlie's, after Van Zant was killed in the band's plane crash in October, 1977).
Actually the band used this song to end their set every time. I didn't read it in your comments but two months after this was recorded three of the band members died in a plane crash including the lead singer Ronnie Van zant. Another cool fact is after a 10-year hiatus Ronnie's brother Johnny started the brand backup including all of the original members who were alive. Now this song is one of those songs that's considered a drummer killer. As you can hear the drums are quite involved throughout this entire song and is actually difficult to play but the fact that they played this song at the end of the set the drummer was just beat
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
Nice reaction. I got to see them when I was 18 at a Southern Rock -n- Roll concert along with the groups Alabama and Blue Oyster Cult . Skynyrd had so many good songs. "Gimme Three Steps" or " Simple Man" might be good ones for you to check out.
@@marksims6425 yes, I was born and raised in Hendersonville. NC, I was 16, me and a friend hitchhiked down to Greenville SC. It was my first concert, Nazareth was the opening act. I liked both bands, So I considered myself lucky. I couldn't believe that they crashed the next evening on their way to Baton Rouge La.
Well, I was one of those young kids at this concert in 1977. I was 20 years old. These were not Taylor Swift concerts. This was a Day On the Green performance, Peter Frampton, performed before Skynyrd. I'm sure other commenters have mentioned the demise of the band a few months later in a plane crash. What's also said is the demise of the Oakland Coliseum, the site of this performance. It was hallowed ground in the 1970s, the A's won three consecutive World Series playing in this stadium in the '70s. The Day On the Green concert series is legendary in the annals of rock music. Now the Coliseum is pretty much an empty place and its future is up in the air.
Their plane crashed 3 months after this show. The band lost lead singer Ronnie VanZant, the rhythm guitar player, in the orange pants and his sister and both pilots.😢 Many say the plane ran out of gas, but fact is it was an old beat up plane and the pilots knew they were going down and released all the gas from the plane. Otherwise they all would have all perished in a fire ball. So sad. I remember hearing it announced on the radio. 🥺
When you realize your parents & grandparents were a hell of a lot cooler than you. Ive always said this song feels like pushing a boulder up a hill then watching it freefall off the top 😂
OF COURSE WE KNEW WHAT THIS SONG WAS ! I WAS THERE , AND IT WAS A PLEASURE ! 1977 I WAS 14 YEARS OLD ! AND MY MAN ON GUITAR , ALLEN COLLINS , KILLED THE GUITAR SOLO ! HE PRETTY MUCH CARRIED THE GUITAR SOLO ! THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF INTERACTION WITH THE OTHER GUITAR ! BUT NOT MUCH !

I'd say Simple Man then Shineheads cover of Simple Man. Both are amazing.
The Ballad of Curtis Loew!!
Saturday Night Special is a good one that doesn't get enough love. But you can play any song from their first five albums and enjoy it. That would be an interesting concept. Just randomly pick one from those five albums.
The energy of this performance never disappoints.

The blonde wasn't burnt to a crisp, that was The Red Badge Of Courage! She self-immolated for her Rock Gods!

@@codyhenrichs9699 was that you? Lol
I don’t think it going out on a limb to say this is maybe the greatest live song performance ever.

@@KarlMcCoy-d6y
My opinion as well.
That is the original length of the song. Radio stations cut most of the guitar solos.
That is Gary Rossington (Ross--ington--- :like Ross from Friends) on the slide for the first half of the song. Allen takes over and channels every G minor riff he can imagine.
The color of the woman's back in the sun, leads credence to the name "Redneck Rock" for Lynrd.

This song was an Anthem for us growing up here in Florida . The band formed in Jacksonville, FL.
They were supporting Peter Frampton in this festival, and Frampton said he wouldn't follow them again if they closed with free bird
They weren't supporting or opening for Frampton. That was Day on the Green. Bands a LOT Bigger than Frampton. He was there like everyone else.

You guys are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!
So wish I could've been at that concert!!
John and Lulu, a couple of additional outstanding live performances would be "T for Texas" and "Call Me the Breeze" from the Knebworth festival.
Absolutely! That T For Texas was amazing.
Yes true SOUTHERN ROCK !!!when nobody got offended..just good rock n roll music from some backwoods boys
Their youngest brother Donnie is in 38 special. Hold on loosely by them, is really good.

Great comments appreciate your reaction
I've been rocking it since the day it came out and it's still bringing tears to my eyes. The man in white owned the stadium
Finally! My grandpa always used to play this when he has bad problems
Amazing
"What song do you want to hear....????" - FREEBIRD!!!
Artimus Pyle, the drummer in this video is still alive though he went his own way rather than joining the current day Lynard Skynard.
sorry...RIP Gary Rossington...thanks for my teenage years!!
The studio version is 9 minutes, live it's anywhere from 11 to 15 minutes

The man playing the red guitar is Gary Rossington.
and that kids is how your grandparents lived way back in the 70's...
As of today the Drummer is still alive and still playing...
Artimus the drummer still lives.

On the way to that concert, 3 of us stopped for lunch, the dessert was a free line of cocaine. 😂
Too funny!
Simple man is by far thier best song....
@4:46 in the day our women were protected and safe.
This was filmed in oakland in 1976.
This is '77. The other particularly well-known live performance was the Knebworth festival, which was '76.
