Thanx Zeb! I know this is coming from across the pond somewhere in the British Isles or Ireland. Greetings from Texas, ol' Son...

Cuz pretty sho' Steve was playing bottleneck slide on this 'un- if Steve and Ronnie hadn' t died- no telling what would've been

That's a pretty bold statement, that this is BY FAR the best song on this live album. I think quite a few fans would wholeheartedly disagree with you, but everyone has their own opinion. If I made such a bold statement, though, I'd support my argument with some facts.

EVERY song on this album is by far the best.... I am 58. Been a rock music guy since listening to Three Dog Night in 1969... Lynyrd Skynyrd remains the ONLY band in which I like EVERY ONE OF THEIR SONGS! Every single one. Arguably THE greatest American rock band of all time

Come to think of it, you're not wrong I love every song too every one. They were the real deal.

You said it all! I couldn't agree more... what a Band and a Great time !! This song rips!!

I watched a version on film of Jimmie singin’ Blue Yodel #1 T for Texas and he called it an old song. Could it go further back?

👍🇨🇦 easy

Kenawic

fuck em and the momma who raised em

Fuck them skynyrd still rules the rock

Absolute FOOLS , Jesus I am still playing this very loud ,and I am 62 just can’t get it out of my system 👍🎸🎸🎸👌🤗

Probably Yankees. LOL

65 years old saw 2 times back in the day. At Auditorium North hall memphis and Liberty Bowl Stadium,Memphis. Damn this us bad assssssss

You really hear Leon in this version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib9mZq6FstjPhIE.html

You are so correct. Leon lays the floor for the others to walk on

@@billmonteith1161 Exactly... most bass players just are the foundation and no one cares about it unless its missing

Moose004 Leon is one of the most underrated bassists ever.

100% spot on! Leon's bass work is phenomenal overall, but especially in this jam. This is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Fell in love with it in HS, always go back to it whenever I need a pick me up.

I'm 57 and your right it sounds great...

Same here I had a 69 Camaro and just bought this 8 track😊 and we cruised and we cruised and we Cruise listening to it😊 give me a t for Texas in a t for Tennessee🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

"Billy Powell on the piano"

He was crazy good. Would have been a household name given more time.

The man who sold this record claims to have known Mr. Gaines. Anyway, he was right, It's Smokin'!

you got that right

Dam skippy

And this is their best song!

Dam right!

Ow yeah baby that's the truth and nothing but the truth. Greets from Belgium 😉

Yep

Definantly had their shit together that night

At 5:21 they are doin that Allman Bros. One way out lick and kicking ass up between shoulder blades

Are !!!

Still alive the band on last year of touring

Allman brothers? Or Marshall Tucker?

me too.Municipal auditorium with Atlanta RS opening !

One of the best live albums ever made.

Terry Lunsford Great story. Thought it then think it still. This. The original lynyrd skynyrd of the 70s. Not the Rossington van zant coat riding bull shit of today. This is real music. Gone are the days.

Saw these guys July 1976, just days before I went into the Navy, for this show Aerosmith was the headline. Nazareth and Ted Nugent opened the show at RFK Stadium, DC

@@jeffreycarpenter9817 Is

This may be random but being that you were there and all, do you know what the popping noise after the song was?

Blows away ledzeppelin live and stones these guys were disciplined really trained for those 3 nights in atlanta

Same here, I was disgusted by that. Almost as bad as the 45 single they made of Free Bird.

beachhunting69 I was there with you at JFK in 1977 and had tickets to see him at the Spectrum 10 days after the plane crash

The Spectrum. DAMN ! Between that venue and MSG, is where I saw 90% of the concerts I saw in the 70's and 80's.

thank you

Knebworth 1976, Skynyrd opened for the Rolling Stones. They absolutely blew the place away. I mean, the Stones are the friggin' Stones and nobody can deny that. But they had to follow THIS.

@@Moose6340 they made the stones look average that night

Thanks to you for listen this music :)

steve is the only one on slide on this song

U R completely correct friend!

Knebworth is the best version, I think.

They were actually from Jacksonville/Yulee area of FL!

It's brilliant find people with so good musical taste

+TheDaveFrank Yup, I saw these guys in San Diego, circa '74-75 at the old Sports Aroma (with my mom, no less). The Outlaws were the opening act. My ears rang for three days. Now mom and Ronnie and too many other good people are gone, and I'm old and fat and tired, but the memories still make me grin :)

Oh, the Bells, Bells, Bells, Bells, Bells!!!!! The old Sports Aroma, huh, sure you weren't thinking about "That Smell' ???!!! Don't you love it when a GOOD band has a GOOD backup band !!!!! Reminds me of when I went to see Uriah Heep in Portland, ME and when the lights went down and the lighters flicked, they announced Z Z Top as the freakin back-up band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about ears ringing, I truly thought I'd be deaf by now!!!! Thank the Good Lord, I'm not, can still ROCK STEADY!!!!!!!!!

it is sad, but the great things they accomplished eclipses all else... you know it

It's interesting to speculate what would've become of Lynyrd Skynyrd if that airplane crash had never happened. I'll preface this by saying I love LS beyond belief. Best American band ever imo and for me I only put The Beatles and Led Zeppelin ahead of them on the overall all-time list. But you know when that crash happened the world of music was about to change significantly. Not that anyone could tell in October '77 though. The 80's and MTV were just around the corner. And the 80's were a terrible time for most 70's rock groups with American roots in their sound - as LS most definitely had. There were very few roots rock artists who got through the 80's intact. Stevie Ray Vaughan is just about the only American roots artist who flourished in the 80s - but he was not a 70's act. One piece of evidence: the Allman Brothers Band became nobodies in the 80's after being music gods just a few years earlier. There was virtually no interest in ABB all of a sudden. Neil Young seriously lost his way (until '89). And all those great 70's Southern Rock bands lost their audience and faded away in the 80's. The New Wave sound of synths and drum machines - polar opposite of 70's roots rock - took over. We'll never know but I don't think LS would've continued on beyond one more album. The band was a volatile group to begin with plus Ronnie was getting ready to do a solo country album.That was definitely in his plans. I could easily envision RVZ and Steve Gaines staying together on the country tip. But again quite obviously we'll never know for sure. What I do know is I wish that damn crash had never happened.

Right on!!!

I would love to learn all the words to this song and maybe we can hook up when I get rich and you can hear my version you sexy ass lady !!!!!!!
