The confederate flag was the record company, MCA’s idea. They wanted it to exemplify that the band was from the South. Also, the confederate flag was not seen then, the way it is today. It was accepted more as a southern pride symbol. Ronnie Van Zant was an outspoken supporter of Jimmy Carter’s campaign for POTUS in 1976. Carter, also a southerner. The Clinton/Gore campaign used the confederate flag on one of their campaign flyers in 1992. As times and views changed, the band stopped using the flag. You can find several interviews they’ve given on the subject. There’s ZERO evidence of racism when it comes to this band.

Back then the Confederate flag was just a symbol of the south. And they are a southern rock band. The Dukes Of Hazard had one on the roof of their car. It was no more than signifying their southern heritage. Today it has become politicized but those were simpler times. Don't read too much into it.

back in the 70's the confederate flag did not have the stigma that it does today. I was a 70's teen and I had no clue. I wouldn't make anything of it at all due to the times.

You have just saw one of the most phenominal live performances in rock history. I had the honor of seeing this same lineup a few months prior to this. J. Geils band opened for them. It was the best concert I saw in my lifetime. The three guitar army simple can't be beat. Leon on bass was going crazy too as well as the other members of LS. So glad you and your dad got to experience this iconic performance. Great job guys!

Artimus Pyle ( Drummer ) never got the credit he deserved for keeping the beat and giving the guitars and piano a Tempo to play off of while 90,000 mostly girls are screaming at them. They couldn't hear themselves think but never missed a beat. That by itself was incredible. Artimus was not one of the originals but he is the only one left who is still with us. The others are all Free Birds now ---------

The confederate flag is a symbol of southern pride. It being labeled as racist or in support of the idea of slavery is simply untrue.

@shawnj1966 Жыл бұрын

Many people in the South, had ancestors that fought and died under that flag. Including myself. Back in those days, it was seen by most white Southerners, as a symbol of Southern pride. We didn't see it as having to do with racism or slavery. We saw it as part of our history and we weren't ashamed of it.

1977 and the rebel battle flag? Not big deal back then, it wasn't until later the woke mob crowd decided to make it into a deal. This amazing performance is one of the greatest live acts ever, right up there with Deep Purple's Sweet Child in Time.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the greatest Southern Rock band in history.

The 70's was the most magical decade of music there's ever been in human history! 60's and 80's didn't suck either.

RIP Gary Rossington. He’s the one playing slide and standing next to Ronnie Van Zant (RIP) in the slow part of the song. He was the last original surviving member. The only person on that stage still with us is the drummer, Artimus Pyle, who took over for Bob Burns (RIP) in 1975.

This performance is timeless, it NEVER gets old, dunno how many times i have seen it. ONe of those "I wish I was there" moments.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's most iconic song. This was a great live performance. If you don't know this song and you're over 40 you lived in a cave. They were never the the same after Ronnie Van Zant's death.

Most don’t realize how hard it is to play the drums that fast for that long. Tremendous arm strength. Yes two leads and a rhythm plus bass (4)

1977 - I was 15 and had a similar head of hair. I was thrown out of the house because of it.

Still one of the greatest, and somehow still underrated, guitar solos of all time.

I knew you would love that video! The 3 guitar attack of Lynyrd Skynyrd is incredible.

The guitar army at it's finest ! They could hand the lead to one another seamlessly. I was a teenager in the 70's. We had the greatest music, hottest cars and prettiest gals. All those girls in the crowd are grandmas now.

Silas, every time you do a Skynyrd reaction, it always occurs to me that you would absolutely dig this band, given your love of guitar work. And a lot of their songs have piano or organ in them as well. I could easily see them becoming one of your favorite bands.
