Everyone Forgets about Artemis. He's a Rock Here. He's One of the Greatest Rock Drummers In History.

So many personalities. Mr. Van Zant kept them focused long enough to make some of the best music ever made. Godalmighty what a great "BAND"! Straight up bad ass.

Skynyrd was my first concert, Oct 16, 1977; their plane went down four days later. I didn't believe it when I heard about it.

Ain’t no band better....ever !! God Bless the Boys of Jacksonville 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

best 3 guitar players ever. that's right, 3

I was around 12 when my Mom told me and my brother that their plane had went down. Of course now I'm 57 and can remember it just like it was yesterday. Always loved this band and will never stop

The greatest southern rock band that ever was.... They'll NEVER be another like them.... GIMME BACK MY BULLETS.....

RIP Gary Rossington today March 5, 2023

Simply awesome. In my opinion one of the 5 best modern music bands EVER !!! I just feel like crying sometimes listening to some of their anthems. Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd :-)

200 billions LIKES for fantastic LYNYRD SKYNYRD..

These 80-90s rockers should have listened .. don’t mess with the needle ..

I just start crying ...it's.so.damn.good. Rock on lynrd skynrd 😭 ❤️

Nobody comes close to match their talent !

Often imitated, but never EVER duplicated. Best Southern Rock Band their ever was.

What a flashback. I was at this concert at the front of the stage, right in front of Rossington. Artimus broke a drumstick that went skittering across the stage, into my hand & I'm actually holding it right now. Billy Jones of the Outlaws joined them on "T for Texas". Bob Welsh's band Paris opened, the Outlaws were on 2nd. One of my all-time favorite Winterland concerts. Some of u posters seem to think not having a 3rd guitarist means the band wasn't at full strength but I disagree; I had seen Skynyrd before with Ed King but it wasn't that good of a show. Sometimes less is more. Rossington & Collins really cut loose here, check it out, y'all.

Billy Powell an amazingly humble man. As I was, standing in front of an icon... asking if I could sit at his table. He welcomed me to sit down, I said something bout' fishin' and he just smiled and laughed. What a kind young man, talked with me bout' nuthin' and made my life different today cuz I met Billy Powell face to face. Treasured experience. Thank you Billy Powell for being approachable, yer' one of a kind my friend. Peace and love, God bless you!

Duane allman told ronnie to practice 10 hours a day ronnie practiced 14 hours a day. Sure as hell shows

great live footage of one of the best bands ever. man, they hit the soul...

The Talent in this Band, the words, the Feeling, even More Incredible to me Now than 25 years ago when I Didn't have the Internet! I get to see these guys playing Live!

1975 My first concert. Remember it better today than I did then. Little did I know! The greatest band and the greatest people you would ever want to meet. Real Southern hospitality kinda people! Thank you for the memories.

Ronnie must have been made of swagger! What a cool stage vibe he had... not to mention his singing. Just seems to be so natural and honest. I was 10 y/o in '77. Wish i could have seen them at least once.

"Can't smoke it or drink it the hell with it." R. Van Zandt

21days after this , i turned 8 years old, and got my first 5 pc. Slingerland drum set. Used to try to play Saturday night special.... took a while.. lol

Best rock band ever not just the best southern rock band the best rock band

billy powell could just flat out play. God bless his soul

What another great song from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

These guys are one of the bands that made me the guitar player I am today. I'm 57 years old. Alan Collins, Gary Rossington, and Steve Gaines showed me how to solo at an early age, thank you to you all, two in heaven and one still with us. Wish I could sit with Gary Rossington on a porch and just jam with him and thank him for teaching me to play solo guitar, they ALL taught me rhythm, I thank them as well. Because of these guys, I pushed myself to learn all the greats from the 1980's Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch and just kept going with todays best,,, Tobin from Animals as leaders!! Wow!! Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd for starting me at the right place! You guys are forever in the place in music you deserve to be!!!!!!!

Saw them at Leeds University UK in 1976 and 1977. Went to Knebworth in 1976 too. Certainly one of the best bands of all time. With Steve Gaines on board they would have took become household names. That guy was such a great musician.

I cry for all of them , not the bad man . I miss these guys to much . I love the classic Skynyrd...

I love this song and to me this is the greatest assembly of talent to ever call itself a rock band. There are none to compare, now or ever, and Ronnie was the very heart and soul of it. May the music they left behind entertain and inspire many generations of young rockers to come. I love ❤️ my Skynyrd.

The best band that ever was no questions asked

I still think Leon is one of my favorite bassists to watch! Deep grooves!

We lost Ronnie too soon November 11 1977 but thank his brothers and friends for keeping his music alive

the quality of this particular show is amazing

Been with lynard skynard since 1974 I think I'll keep them🤘🤪🥰🙃✌️🙄

I am so Happy we have these concerts we can Watch , !!!

Allen always looked like he was having a blast...but Gary never smiled. Will Love Them 4ever ~ Until we meet again Ronnie on the other side

Video quality is awesome. Thanks for this!! RIP Gary Rossington

I've said for years and I will continue to say it over an over. Skynard always was and always will be the BEST Southern rock band of all time! Hands down...

My Mom was a senior in High School at this time! I was not even a thought yet. But somehow I feel like I was there! Damn these guys were talented! This is ROCK N ROLL!!

Gary Rossington and Allen Collins are two of the greatest guitarists of all time...just my opinion

Sometimes talented people get together and something very wonderful happens. Glad to see the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd lives on. They are the Mozarts of Southern Rock. People will know them 1000s of years from now. Nothing like 'em. They will live forever.

Yes this is a real rock n roll band !! 👍I’m live in Jacksonville Fl it’s southern fried rock here !! 🎸🎤

Excellent guitar footage...wonderful show...I swear I can hear Julie when Gimmie Three Steps comes on, we're in there somewhere...we danced for hours, and we still know all the words... always and forever the one of the best bands of all time.

I like the way Ronnie sang and would emphasize the end and start of his lyrics with little clicks, squeals, “heys”, “woos” “na na nas” and grunts. He ruled that stage.

Ronnie & skynyrd #1 southern rock !!

Saw them live in 75’ Saratoga NY - Ed King had left by then , only 2 guitars that night, but they tore the place down - awesome show, they were the best

this is truly amazing to be able to enjoy this thanks to you ,a big jewel in the crown of my music collection...

I saw them at the Fox Theater Atlanta Georgia when they were recording one more for the road 1976 ball bottoms barefooted long hair bandana 5 grams of hash in my pocket the greatest thing I ever did in my life

Pulls me back, always comes back to this, original raw talent.

I saw them in the 70s in concert. I'm a full blown fan waiting to relive that era.

The song is Right on!! I went to Oakland to see them in 77 Buzz all day!!! ♤

Ronnie's Vocals Her are some of the best , heart felt , 100 , & 20 percent, Cousin Figel

No one will ever fully understand this band unless they hear the original members... They are rockin' in Rock and Roll Heaven!

Only 17 months before one of the greatest tragedies in rock n roll history.

All the songs are great and the music amazing too.

I'm working at home listening this perfect perform. nothing better...

Awesome the way Ronnie spotlighted the talent of his band members.

These comments make me smile :) this is southern rock! This is music!

This goes without saying " Southern Rock,s premier band will never be replaced , just always remembered as the go to music for the working man ! "

Gary Rossington was at the peak of his powers here with that distinctive bluesy smoldering style. A few months later Steve Gaines would come aboard and they’d be back to the triple guitar lineup.

So glad my parents grew up in this era and I heard Skynyrd my whole life and still jam it and R.i.p Dad you finally a free bird and a ghost rider in the sky

great sound great band, always in my memory

Lynyrd skynyrd Is LEGENDARY ! All time great ! Childhood memories still deep inside the spirit of our days has never died ! Sleep now peacefully your quest is done !

The greatest band of all time.

im gonna go out on a limb and say they aint ever gonna be another band like this one!

Drop out of school genius's... Their light still shines! Their music will never die. Thanks for this awesome upload!

Allen collins was the most underated guitarist in the world,, barr none!! Rip brothers!!

I live in Jacksonville, Florida. RIP Gary Rossington. Thanks for this upload.

Every Skynyrd song should never end

When Music was Real music... ~ !

Leon is a great Bass player, one or the best!!

...a couple of the dudes from the outlaws playin on t for texas...how awesome is that? Never knew that happened. real joy to watch.

man what a great performance

Ronnie was so wicked shmat to add those 3 Girls into their line-up - some of the greatest professional , extremely well rehearsed bunch a partying like crazy guys taking everyone along for that ride to ever live !

I've loved this band (the originals) All my life!! Can never get enough!!❣️❣️☮️

I'll totally agree with that last comment. They have always been my favorite band!!

saw them open for the doobie brothers about this time...maybe 77 love the DB... but Skynyrd blew them off the stage..thanks for this awesome memory!

This is pretty special,thanks for posting. I've watched the 75 Winterland concert featuring Ed King and A. Pyle many times...cool to see the different lineup with Billy, Honkettes, and no 3rd guitar. Can't wait to see the other one you posted!

A minute in, back up vocals/harmony comes in, i'm already out of my mind into this groove.

I’d forgotten how much influence Free had on these guys. You can definitely hear it here! Awesome performance! Thanks for uploading this!

I was in sedalia Missouri in July 1974 Ozark music festival lynyrd skynyrd was there for 3 days and nights with several other bands 350,000 people what a blast

This is a very spiritual moment watching this, what a band. Wonder if this is what Heaven sounds like.

love the song Tuesday's gone, free bird and .any more ...l love all u musicians. ..l play keywords myself just at home so l ENJOY all classic rock and etc....wish could have seen u at concerts!

Went to their concert in Cicero Park near Chicago back in 70's with Friends Rick & Ed, we were in front of stage!! Waved to Ronnie & he waved back!! Never forget It!! 😢👍😍👍

I finally watched there whole concert, a lot of for real energy, my friend from our souls thru our eyes

I saw the original back in 76 . It was across from Pirateland campground....38 special opened. Myrtle Beach, S,C,

These guys were in my opinion the best southern band ever to play.How many bands have 3 star hard rockin guitarists. The song writing was amazing Ronnie always looked so cool and calm up there kept them all in line true leader. The rest of the band were so talented and when they all played together it made the hair rise on your arms.

What an amazing band.

I like how this is the one album/tour where they were down a guitarist, but they still absolutely cooked. Proof that Skynyrd was always Allen and Gary and Ronnie's band.

What a superb group. The Honketts too. I owe them all for inspiring me to learn to play the guitar and bringing me musical inspiration to this day.

Wow!! Can Allen paly a wicked guitar. Only the best musicians for Ronnie.

Allen played that solo so well I love this version so much ...also played like this at Knebworth ...it is a little different than the solo at Oakland where Ronnie cut him off a little quicker there in Oakland for some reason...Here and Knebworth he turned him loose....The longest version of the solo I remember was the one in Jacksonville May 1, 1976 He really turned them loose that night! Sadly it was the last time they played with Ronnie here in their hometown. They were supposed to play at the Sunshine Jam in the Gator Bowl a few months later in July but Ronnie was unable to perform. Shame there was no film of the Jacksonville May 1, 1976 show ....it was real special there were so many people there ...the police did not even try to limit how many people squeezed in there ....it was like that for Led Zeppelin in 1973 as well ....they just did not want to have a riot with that many people ...I heard that there was 20k+ at both of these shows ...the old coliseum sat 12k lol...I believe it ...The concourses outside the arena were completely filled all the aisles were used as seats.

THE standard for all other southern rock bands. No doubt about it! Pure southern gold!

Amazing stuff going on here. Great show, time capsule.

Was blessed to be there and see the Best Southen Band Ever. Great sound Live, tight band led by Ronnie R.I.P.

Riffs et rythmiques tonitruantes , des titres qui vont droit au cœur et restent dans la mémoire collective . Un groupe dans le patrimoine universel

Best band in my time

winterland 75 full screen would thrill me
