    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.

    My 19 year old sister was watching her baby brother ( me) while my parents were on vacation in Spain from the United States for 3 weeks. I had just turned 12 years old. My sister's boyfriend wanted my sister to go and see some band outdoors in Georgia. So she had to take me along. I'll never forget that night. It was thousands of people standing up and raising hell. My sister's boyfriend decided to show me the finner things in life. Like pot and bootleg alcohol while my sister wasn't paying any attention. I also was shown how to pee in a gallon jug in public. This band became my favorite band that night. 1974.
