I just heard the news of Gary’s passing. The original Lynyrd Skynyrd is now reunited in heaven. Fly high, Free Bird 💔

Allen Collins, with his energy, makes you feel 19 again, no matter how old you are!

Allen Collins is one of the greatest guitar players of all time,so underrated.

It is amazing how much talent there is on this stage! RIP to those Freebirds in Heaven! ❤

I watched a interview with Gary many years ago and he said when he gets up there he will tell them all about it,go tell them brother that we’re still listening to there music,best band that ever walked the earth,RIP Gary play it pretty in heaven ❤

I was at this concert , About 15 feet back from the stage . I was really surprised when I found this . Charlie Daniels opened this show They were amazing as well

I never tire of this great band. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. ❤️🙏

I graduated high school , and went into the military overseas 60 days later. This band ruled , and honestly still does. ‼️👍🇺🇲😀❤️♥️

Ed King, to this day, is still one of my favourite players of all time. Allen and Gary, and later Steve, we’re all fantastic players in their own right as well.

This should be remastered in color! Epic performance by the boys!!!

Allen and Gary and Ed on the same stage is beyond words the top of the BEST.

I'm 17 and I feel like my generation has been cheated out of good music, I wish that I could go back to the 70s and feel the freedom of the southern rock community.(Rock on Skynyrd) we'll always love your music thanks for the years of amazing rock and roll.

I've watched this concert many times on KZfaq,there's no doubt that Rossington and Collins were the sound of this band and later Gaines took it to another level but I don't think people realize how bad ass and on point Ed King was,especially with that Marlboro hangin from his lips,RIP Ed King,you were an original.

Finds like this are what make KZfaq so great.

we really had a great time growing up in the 70's to their music. You'll never see music like this anymore.

It's fun to watch Ronnie and his stage presence, he had a unique style like nobody else

I'll never forget that fateful day when the Skynyrd plane went down. A pain settled into our hearts that NEVER healed. Every time I enjoy a piece of their vintage performances I rejoice in their exceptional music and hurt for their families, friends and fans like myself for their loss was a forever stabbing to the heart.

Allen Collins is so underrated it should be criminal!! The guy wrote Free Bird at 17 years old pure genius!!

3 of the best guitar players that ever lived right here on the same stage.

So professional, well-rehearsed... Ed King is always a joy to watch... Gary's chops are incredible... I think Allen was born attached to his guitar. RVZ rules! To this day!!!

Without any doubt - this was America's greatest rock band .

Rest PEACEFULLY brother Gary

Ed King was the best. He made them better!!!!!!!! RIP.

Happy to have taken my little sister to her first concert ❤️, and even happier that it was this great band !!!

What a fantastic concert! I can hear Ed Kings guitar solo's so clearly, it is sheer bliss!

Ed Kings tone on whiskey rock and roller was phenomenal!

This ole Florida boy grew up listening to skynyrd!! I still have my pronounced album I’ve had since the earlier 70’s! It’s incredibly beat up and hangs up in my garage!

Another killer live performance! Fly high Free Bird!

Ronnie you are truly missed..... THE GREATEST SOUTHERN ROCK BAND THAT EVER WAS...

Man alive, with Artimus (drums) and Ed King (guitar) they were TIGHT! Woot!!

I'm a native Georgia boy so... I might be a bit biased, but, in my haughty opinion, these boys mostly from Jacksonville, FL, are not only the "Led Zeppelin of the South", they are the best band in modern rock/pop/music history to ever come from these United States! This performance should be digitally colorized and remastered.

Thanks for the music Ed King. You will be missed, as will all the members of this definitive line up.

No filters, nothing but some minor PA feedback, and Ronnie singing "ON THE HUNT" like a man possessed with that hypnotic descending bass line.He sounds better than Joplin for sure, and doesn't miss a note, high or low. What a powerful set. Jeez, they were beginning to soar at Winterland. By 77 and by bringing in Steve Gaines they went to another stratosphere. What a short time they were there. A band soaked in talent built around the songwriting and singing of one man who just stood there. He did not need to dance around. He cannot be replaced by a brother, or anyone. He was Ronnie Van Zant. He was Lynyrd Skynyrd.

This is by far the best recorded live concert I've ever heard by Skynyrd.

It's 2020 and I'm listening to this with my 8 yr old daughter. She's digging it! A little edgamucation!!!

Ed King filling in for Billy Powell’s solo on free bird was really beautiful. What a band!

Smug and low-key Ed King is a total MONSTER on guitar, most underrated ever....

On the hunt riff is possibly the first southern metal riff ever. Such an underrated tune. Always has been.

Pure talent ; all of them !

What I would give to be back then watch them. It was not just music it was magical and real! Born in 82 but since I could walk I loved this band all of them! Still do to this day!

One off the best live bands of the 70's!! Ed King rocks!

This is rock n roll kids...........

Man .......Alan Collins was a monstrous guitar player !. When you can stand out in a band that also has gary rossington and ed king you know you're a monster !

RIP Gary Rossington, the last rebel is no longer. Up there jamming with Ronnie, Allen, Ed Steve, Billy, Leon and Bob again

You’ve got to give Ed King a bunch of damn credit

Every now and then you get the PERFECT mix of people, and they take over the world. In Skynyrd's case it was a bunch of them. Of course Ronnie was the leader, but it couldn't been done without every fucking one of them! Best band ever!!

It’s rare I’ll watch a concert on KZfaq from beginning to end. This was the exception.

This is real classic talent and musicianship. Not this garbage of today

God Bless Bill Graham for catching this! My First Skynyrd Show!

Music like this just isn't made anymore

What a concert! I'm glad I survived the waiting line around the building, Love this band.R.I.P. Ed C. King you passed today! Love ya bro!

I will always love how in control of the entire band Ronnie is. He just stands there and directs the whole band. In another video Allen goes a little off on a tangent and Ronnie calmly taps his shoulder and Allen gets back in line with the original solo. They were so much more than Sweet Home Alabama.

And to think Ronnie Van Zant found most of the guys basically in nearby neighborhoods in Jacksonville Fl to start a band.Pretty Damn sweet talent down there I'd say.

I was at this show!!!!!! also was at the Infamous Cow Palace show in 1973 where they opened for The Who and that was show Keith Moon passed out and they got a 19 year from crowd to play drums!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rare & unique to hear them in 75' without Billy on piano. I love Billy but enjoyed this, it was heavier. ED to complete the 6 piece here too!!

Where I went to high school in Marin across the bridge from San Francisco, southern rock was huge! A bunch of us girls would take the bus over to the city, get dropped off on VanNess & Geary and walk up to the venue, Winterland. Then we’d walk back down to catch the bus back to Marin. Those were the fuckin’ days. My dad was a cop in the city and he thought this was ok. Never could do that now a days. Blessed to grow up where & when I did. Saw so many epic shows!! God Bless, Bill Graham!! 🎶

Very little footage of this seminal legendary band is in the public domain - thanks and well done for getting this out there. Influential beyond their time, one of the greatest

If you left here tomorrow......yes we'd certainly remember you and we do! These guys were awesome and taken way too early at the peak of their lives. RIP fellas, thank you for the music!

This upload is one of KZfaqs finest offerings. ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. Thanks so much.

At 37 born in 86 , this is the best concert that exists. They were the best of all time growing up . And Still are .

Ed kicked ass on show

God bless the original Lynyrd Skynyrd

Ronnie Van Zant sexy and soulful as ever! Those guitar players and drummer... what a combination of excellence! Best rock and roll band ever!!❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This concert is my favorite piece of music I've ever heard and I've listened to it literally hundreds of times of the years and it never gets old! But always leaves me wishing what if.

Best lineup of all-time right here folks!

Without a doubt the best band I've ever heard. Nobody speaks to my soul like these guys. Breaks my damn heart knowing I'll never see the originals. My god to think of what they would have given us had that plane not crashed.

This is the real Lynyrd Skynyrd here, the best southern rock band there was and will ever be !!!!!!!

Free Bird one of the greatest songs ever!

My absolute favorite concert they did! Magnificent and the very best of this extronary incomparable band. The band that defind my youth. Class of 76, they were our personal group

What a great concert that was. We won tickets on the radio and went that night with a bottle of ludes and an ounce of weed. O God they were the days. What a great band. I'll never forget them.

Ed King blistered it

LYNYRD SKYNYRD GREATEST BAND EVER REAL MUSIC RIP SWEET ANGELS 🎼🎻🎼🎶

Gary playing that killer solo at 20:00 with his fingers (no pick). so soulful

I was at this show and have managed to remember quite a few things, First, during "I Ain't the one" Ronnie walked toward the front of the stage Spinning the mic as a HUGE Confederate Flag unfurled in the background, 2) I can still see all of the young ladies in the crowd up on the shoulders of the guys during Free Bird.... After that, the band walked off stage and a few of the band members emerged (either after Free Bird or the Encore) to tell the crowd that they "Had played everything they knew how w/o Billy, because he cut his hand"...Then last year the band (What is left of it) played in S.D. at Humphrey's by the Bay, I showed up and waited in the Parking lot with a guitar I wanted Gary to sign. As the show ended and the guys streamed past me on the way to their bus/van, I asked Gary to sign and he kept walking. So I said "Aw C'mon man!, I was at the Winterland show where Billy did not play because of a cut on his hand"...Gary stopped looked at me and said, "You were at that show"? "Yes" I replied. "You came out and told the crowd you had played everything you could w/o BP" he smiled at me and signed my guitar

This is Lynyrd Skynyrd. Not the band calling themselves Skynyrd the last 15 years. Just another outstanding show! Them boys could play!

Ed King jamming on Whiskey Rock a Roller is so freaking good. All three leads are damned good in different ways. What a treat to watch and listen with headphones. Here we are 49 years later and it still runs rings around the current bands.

You can see the love between rossington and collins. This was collins lead guitar shining moment in history. They play off each other. Best duo ever.

The greatest rock band ever , the best singer by far and of course the great guitarist who gave the vibe to the whole act , EDKING from california !

Although Steve Gaines was amazing later on,Ed King was indispensable to this incredible band. Loved how he provided that special sauce at just the right time. Thank God for preserving this amazing concert performance. I’m 70 and in my opinion this performance rivals ABB Filmore East and I could listen to both over and over!

My favorite live version of Sweet home Alabama. No one can play it like Ed King.

King's tone and playing on SHA is totally ridiculous. Makes it look effortless. 44:43, 45:30. Oh my God. The little harmonic thing with the whammy bar going back into the verse. Just top notch.

Saw them twice between 1975-1977 just an amazing band. RIP

One of the best live rock n roll performances ever.

I’m 32 years old and I’ve just started getting into Lynyrd Skynyrd for the past 2 weeks. Why have I gone 32 years without recognizing this sheer awesomeness??

I'd give the twins to see pre-crash Lynyrd Skynyrd live just once more before I die. Hell, I'd give Big Jake too. My god how I've missed them for 40 years.

Some of the absolute best musicians in the world, gone way too soon.

That was great! I grew up listening to them, but never saw them live. Had a bunch of their albums. They were all great albums. They never made a bad album, or a bad song for that matter. Man, they sounded great live. Those boys could rock!

Kick-ass music, Southern pride and not apologizing for a damn thing. Just how it should be.

One word, PERFECTION! It just doesn't get any better than these guys.Many have tried but no one comes close.

Amazing quality, the passion of Skynyrd's early years lives on

Saw this show live 7/1/75! All time best!

When they play on the hunt, I get a chill, Gary Owns this one!

Ed King Rules.

RIP SKYNYRD...I soooo wish I had see you guys play.

Allen was a Great rhythm guitar player. Maybe the best, plus he wrote FREEBIRD!

IT IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO listen to pure music and bring me back home to the SOUTHLAND!!!!

This footage captured their still raw talent, beauty and appeal for so many. One of the very BEST bands of their era, and if not for the crash, I believe, with a little more time to create, they may have become one of the greatest bands around.

One of my first concerts , hell of a f n show, Ronnie Van Zant, one cool guy, he's the reason the band was tight, sorry Johnny, you never came close

My God.........What a talented group of individuals!!

My Goodness what a Band,, don't get any better than this.... WOW
