He may have said " a 50 year old song ABOUT fucking hobos is your best play"? At least you ain't listening to today's country top 40. Then it's on and we is fighting yank slickers.

And keep your pencil pushing hands off the water Mr Slicker. In northern California we don't need your help with our water.

I miss Ronnie!

greatest band ever.......

Dont get out much?

Ah... well now, ain't yu da cheese.​@@rockinrowdyjimmyd1962

You got that right Sir,👊

You and me both brother

Don't ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies.

They had to be or a fist was coming when they got off stage! LOL

All that practicing at the hell house back in the day. Note for note. It just stuck with them. Best southern rock! Hell yes.

Ronnie Rehearsal set the pace, hence the in sync live shows. Nobody better . This band made The Who nervous .

Absolutely!

yeah, they're very tight. VERY tight. so was kiss, maiden, who & priest. you just have to practice ALOT

Yes it was glad I grew up then.

For real. Men were men, testosterone and creativity flowed, not stifled by political correctness and posers of this era

The crash, the crash, the crash, the crash!!!!

Always have been the best southern rock band and always will be to me

@@CareyMobley-jv5fi Not just to you. It's inconceivable to me that there could ever be a band who can rise to that level. All the ingredients were there, one of which was the fact that Skynyrd came along when they did!

It’s never over til it’s over. Glad you found them now.

Wow! You gotta listen to Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone and Comin Home. Those are my favorites ❤By the way, I'm almost 61 and have been listening since I was 17. I even saw them in concert a few decades ago with Johnny of course - awesome concert!

You’re parents fucked up but I’m glad I found em

Listen to early stuff you'll enjoy hopefully

WHAT!!!!!! Is this blasphemy but I will forgive you my sister woman I am also 65 in sep of 2024 thanks to the Good Lord above bless you woman.

A whole lot of their music is. We just lost Gary on March 5, 2023. RIP GARY 😔💔

Gary’s gone but, his music is still alive and well. RIP

That's Beautifully Said

@You just dont lnow? Ive studied each member!

You do know them sister

@JellyRollMusiconenice to meet you as well. 😎

@@ricciwelter1742 That’s good; so true.

I met Allen in Dayton Ohio before a RCB concert . He immediately talked to me like I was his long lost best friend . He was such a good Dude . Seemed like we really hit it off and alot of the time he would put his arm around me if he happened to look at someone else to speak , like he didn't want me to get away. I invited him to my home for soup beans and cornbread and he said they had to leave right after the show or he would surely take me up on home cooking. He even showed me his glass eye , he lost in a go cart wreck after the plane crash . When I heard he had died it felt like I had lost a friend !!!!!!

@@ricciwelter1742you there?

❤AMEN BRO❤ THEY WERE SHOOTING ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆STARS☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ AND THEY STILL ARE☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆❤!!!!!!!!

I'm 60 and so glad I was able to go to a Skynyrd concert with my 24 year old daughter! Her first concert around 10 years old was the beach Boys. Then Skynyrd and Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin experience. Also a Beatles tribute band. She now loves music of my era more that anything else. Bands today seem manufactured and nowhere near the talent of bands in the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Amen ROCK sister, 62 here also, southern fried rock at it's finest!

Yes me too.freebird played at my 1980 graduation song.nuts.60 now.and a bucket list we took my middle son of my three sons to see them.greatest

I am nearly 20 years old and I've been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd my whole life. I am blessed to have been able to seen Lynyrd Skynyrd back in 2019 when I guess you could still sort of consider it "Lynyrd Skynyrd" because Gary Rossington was still alive at that point. Gary is one of my favorite guitarists ever.

I will never stop listening

great

Focused,he ment what he was doing,true professional.i listen to this everyday,Ronnie don't miss a beat even drunk and high my all time hero! If u can't drink it or smoke it to hell with it!!

@@funnysoup9708 I believe that, wish I could have seen them all.

52:04 gives signal for a little boost of clarity

I saw LS in St Augustine Florida a few weeks ago. They might be a cover band now but quite possibly one of the best concerts I've ever seen. During Free Bird all of a sudden I realized it was Ronnie singing. They had mixed his voice in with the band, and video of him from a live show. Quite possibly this one.Gave me chills!!!

Amen bro

Does anybody know who can play the piano like Powell. Come on man! Freakin amazing. They are all gone.

Damn straight brother!!

Definitely one of them !! Outstanding raw & unfettered Southern Rock brilliance....yeah those guys could really play..

​@@mariaclayton9892he'll yeah he could play !!

RIP Gary!

I Pray They All Rest In Peace An Rock-n-Roll Heaven!! God Bless This Whole Band!

You got that right

I had the privilege of jamn with them

I feel you Frank. I’m a oldster myself. I lost my hubby to Cancer 21 years ago. My Son and daughter and I had them put on Free Bird and we had them kick up the volume full blast. Not sure how the old folks liked it but my hubby loved it I’m sure!

Cheers Frank. Never let the music stop bringing back memories!

Ronnie was of Dutch ancestry, "Van Zant".

God bless America praying for all of us going through this process of denying Jesus Christ of Nazareth and worshiping the DRAGON God bless America praying for all of us!

Your right I'm 60 no one better!!

Hell yes!!! ☝🏻🤘🏻💪🏻🫶🏻🇺🇸

❤

😂 the best band ever created the proper and the only music to the words you can actually hear​@@karoonboomie2813

Yes. I think they weren't afraid to be bold & innovative how they played. Like when they got Billy boy honky tonken his piano. It made them whole & added to their original line-up. Their guitarists are so renowned for their nearly freestyling way of playing. Switching from lead to rhythm & lengthy plays between lyrics & other subtle changes. Blending out for piano to lead were master strokes in their unique style still marvelled at today. Free Byrd is a ballad. Lyrics succinctly telling a story are short. These guys got the stones to come up with guitar solos that play twice as long as the song itself. Amazing concept showcasing enormous talent possessed by Lynard Skynard.

you got that shit right

Donnie? His name was Ronnie.

Easy mistake Duron. Donny sang for .38 Special formed early 70s too and Johnny sang in the tribute Skynyrd band formed in 87 I think. 3 lead singers from one family. Cool. Only one Ronnie Van Zant and only one real Skynyrd band but the survivors,Billy,Gary,Arty,Leon and Allen were still great. Miss Steve,what a player tho. Din't even get moved into his new house. RIP Cassie and Dean and all. I grew up just south of them and I was 16 the year they formed. Loved em all my life. Peace

Well.. I'm 78 and ALWAYS will listen to them!!!

Ronnie was their lead singer & frontman. Donnie was with 38 Special.

Like the others said. It was '"Ronnie" not "Donnie" but you got everything else right so I think that was just a typo. But you left out the most important thing.They had a ton of natural talent on every single instrument and one of the best (if not THE best) vocalist in the business and definitely without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest songwriters in the history of writing songs. IMHO when you can write so many great, great songs and NEVER write down a single word... you are the best of all time

🤘🏻💪🏻👊🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

95% as technically perfect in person....but 500% more power........best in person band ever

NASCAR speeds

Allen Collins was so athletic, tip top shape, he could jump around and still play the guitar, reminds me of Angus Young of AC/DC. Very healthy fellows and had great cardio to entertain the crowd ala David Lee Roth and others. They were the picture of health and athleticism.

​@@harpoon_bakery162 Regarding athleticism, Bon Jovi also come to mind. Some of their older videos feel like aerobics lessons.

There All Together Now ! An Hopefully Rocking The Cosmos Once Again!!

God You LUCKY SO And SO 😁WISH I HAD BEEN g

Me too I loved Winterland. It was my second home, every weekend,there was someone to go see. I remember this concert as if it was yesterday.

Today, on the anniversary of the show, I came here for the goosebumps!

Lucky dog!!!🤙🏻

Lucky mofo

Totally agree. 😢

Especially now; with all gone. No words for how exceptional every member of this band was… don’t forget those ladies singing either. 💙

What album lot's of the best songs are first album certainly not all on pronounced

JRod this is not best gig on the KZfaq check out the winterland concert from 1975 with original 3 guitarist has to be 9ne of their best performances

knebworth 1976 with Steve Gaines is incredible, especially T for Texas @@thomasparsons1470

specifically from inception to plane crash, anything after that is gay. unfortunately.

Welcome to real music, in my opinion.❤️

My favorite

freebird was duane allman

@@frereanaktom99 Duane died in 1971. Gary played Firebird.

Agreed! They were all in their awesomeness. They had it all. The persona, the chops, and their songs had such an outlaw attitude to them.

Allman ne faisait pas partie du groupe

So true

I love watching some of the audience reactions it’s like everyone freezes for a moment while Allen comes up to the solo plate, and all of them are exceptional in their own way. Ronnie pushed these guys to find their limits along with Working for MCA lol

Fly Free bird! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

❤❤❤❤❤awesome and freebird was graduation song 1980 in northwestern high pa.same carson kresley attended

After the winterland concert in 3776 Ronnie said that they needed the three guitar that's when Steve Gaines joined the band inmate Allen and Gary step it up all of them because they a lot better band until October 20th 1977 when it all came to the end if you want some interesting stuff type in someone took Ronnie's hat in Tokyo 1977! There's so much but can't say itall

Excellent!!

Hate to break it to ya Mike, but you did forget that night ... because Paris (Bob Welsh, Glenn Cornick) was the opening act. I have photos, as does this guy: ben-upham.pixels.com/collections/lynyrd+skynyrd+3+6+76

Lucky man!!

I think that give 3 steps was a little fast at this concert compared to others, they still did an awesome job!

Wow

They and The Rolling Stones are the only ones i NEVER get boring of. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😛😛😛😛😛

I was at the Day on the Green as well. It was awesome I'll never forget.

​@rooney2561 Me too, great concert, it's on youtube.

Rest in PEACE you guys ❤winners..

And now Gary. The band is complete again!

Just a few currents that I really love. Chris Stapleton top of my list, Blackberry Smoke, these guys are great southern rock band that pays tribute to the 70's bands but also has their own music, hopefully you guys know them. Gov't Mule or where ever Warren Haynes is, Billy Strings. Guess there are a few more when I really think abt it but majority of the time I am listening to 60's-70's w/ a lil 80's thrown in because the crap being put on today is such fluff & everyone sounds alike. It is sad

Yes the music these days is shit compared to the old days of the best musicians of all time

That's because no one has this talent.

You got that right! Pun intended

Who were the other guys playing guitar on T for Texas??

@@deewaynenorwood1443 great question. no idea. tried search on google, no luck. probably from the warm-up band, but no luck with any answers.

Most all of the winter land concerts were awesome they ave a certain feeling about them and yard skynrd is one of the best examples.

@@deewaynenorwood1443 That would be Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones from the Outlaws - the opening band on this tour.

Amen RIP but the music goes on

I saw them in 1999 at Wings Stadium opening for ZZ Top. I was front row on the floor, I was SO excited and made eye contact numerous times with Billy Powell and at the end of the concert he gave his towel! 1st time I saw them even though I was fan from 76 on. I graduated in 77 in PA. Saw them a 2nd time at Fire Keepers Casino and 3rd at 20 Monroe Live Feb 2017!

I'm 73 years young and enjoy the heck outta this band. Great music for any age.

You're wrong...

@@judykubera8810 .

@@speez6106 who’s your best band?

Ronnie sings life's events that people can relate to,and music is life,because without music life would be dull uneventful a drag this came from a neighborhood of kids that wanted to play about life's events and times of the 60sand 70s freedom

I stopped going to concerts in 1975.. I had no Idea how Amazing Skynyrd was, especially live! Only song of theirs I ever heard was SHA. If I had been born a few years later I’m sure I would have been going to their concerts. I would give back every concert I loved just to have seen Skynyrd once.

Bless you Dwight

Welcome to the club.......long live the south

And iam a so cali native....go figure.......

Me to bro

The greatest.

@@andrewstack9980 yessir

You got that right

They still tour right now

agreed. That intro gets me everytime

Skynard as a band died to me when the plane went down. Just not the same . . .

@@inkfreq888 My grandfather died within minutes (maybe even the same exact time) of the crash from cancer at age 46. That's my age now as I type this...

@@zekethefishgeek8690 WOW!! I'm a fishing geek too. Up in Michigan

Hands down ✌🏻❤️

@@inkfreq888 agree 🥹❤️

That's right! Now that you've mentioned it, I remember them adding that 3rd night. I was at the 2nd show the Sat show. Can't believe I remembered that. Thanks!

Believe this proves to those who think after ed left skynyrd was on a decline and thank to steve he saved. There career, well folks this is perfection with or without them this is good as it gets period.

I really dig this version of T For Texas. Been a Skynyrd fan since the early 80s and only found this a few years ago.

Yes

well said

No, I don't think there will be. I never got to see them live as my mom had cancer so obviously she was my life, she died 2 mos before plane crash. They were due to be in my town in Nov but obviously that never happened. I am super grateful I got to see RCB in 1980. They kicked ass & most of the surviving guys were there. Got to see Gary & Allen tearing it up, Billy Powell, I loved his piano, that boogie woogie southern thing he did so well so grateful for that. They played instrumental Free Bird w/a spotlight on mic as 50,000 grown men & women sobbed & hugged each other. One of the biggest outpouring of love I have ever been a part of

@@kathyrais574 I am sorry for you losing your Mother! But there is a way to see her again. Jesus said " I am the way, the truth and the LIFE!"

My sentiments exactly. Ronnie said he would not see 30 years of life , and said it many times to many people. Try to find bad lyrics that no one should hear. Look at Metallica for example. I did and it blew my mind. Look at " The god that failed ". Ronnie was saved the way Jesus said. If you believe that God sent his Son to die for all of our sins , was murdered , rose from the dead and is at the Right hand of the Father. Romans 10:9 says ( " That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. That's pretty simple. You will still sin but you will be more aware when you do. You don't become sinless. You become sin-less. You don't have to do nothing else. You are SAVED FROM ETERNAL HELL and separation from God. I used to drink gallons of beer everyday. Now I drink 1-3 a week , sometimes none. Doing it doesn't convict or bother me . The KJV Bible says your good to go until you lose your faculties ( Drunk ). If you lose your faculties after 3 or four beers then you need not drink. I know I am rambling but it's the most important thing a person needs to 100% positive about. God made us and we play by his rules or our rules and we lose , every time! If I'm wrong and we all die like dogs and feel nothing at death and cease to exist then we're good to go! But if I'm right according to the Holy Bible ............then I have gained it all , living with God and Christ in Heaven forever and ever and ever. ETERNITY!!!!!! And I will see my precious Mama and the others! " “Hallelujah Praise God Almighty For those that have ears to hear let them hear , and for those with eyes to see let them see! p.s. Ronnie had the Holy Spirit in him. There is no other explanation for him foretelling his death. Listen to the song Raiford !

Allen collins!

Check out what he does on Workin for the MCA

alan collins is great..dont forget alan

@ Bill Yeah, but can he play that sexy slide ?

Yes it is...Free immediately comes to mind.

Every time I see Gary to this day,,,,I get chills,,,he is still badass with a body held together by rods and pins...and a heart that has been severly damaged,..but is so damn HUGE...,but my man is just so fuckin tough and resilient...next to Ronnie he is LYNYRD SKYNYRD,,,and I dread the day he leaves us!

He always wore the coolest shirt on stage too
