I just try to share some audio and video that I collected over the years. It's just a hobby and something to do. I don't make money off of this channel. I hope you find some entertainment value. : )
I was blessed to see them a few weeks before the airplane crash at the Concord Pavilion in California. Sat about ten rows back center stage. By far the tightest most professional band I’ve ever seen. Nazareth opened for them.
I'm pushing 66, and I saw them twice in the 70s. A total blast it was. Saw them with Ed King and Steve Gaines once each time and the Honkettes once. The others were Ronnie, Gary, Allen, Leon, Billy, and Artimus.
The Who was Top Billing @ Anahiem Stadium / Ronnie and the Boys were to Open & The Britts were Informed That Ronnie Had Fallen Sick and would not be Performing / They took the Bait and after 5 encores ..... Lynyrd Skynyrd Miracuously Appeared to the Announcement that Ronnie was now OKAY & would take the STAGE / The WHO would not Play for 30 years in the USA- PERFECT 😎
What date was that show? What year? I don't understand your comment. I'm very sure The Who was playing all over the USA and never skipped a beat. I must not understand your comment. And yes, The Who toured all over the USA for decades afterward. Maybe you just want to believe that but if that is what you meant, it is wrong.
I've never owned or even watched this show. The embarrassing truth of the matter for me to share was that I had at one point downloaded this show from RU-vid, when you could do it for free. I committed a major NO, NO and then uploaded the content to my channel. I later realized that was a major DICK move, almost like theft. At the time I was trying to SHARE the show. I felt I had found something cool and I tried to make it more mainstream on my channel. I could have made the other channel who uploaded it mad. I realized later that that was content theft, or appropriation. But then too, it's an unlicensed show and people have always shared ABB, Dickey and Gregg shows and Derek and Warren stuff too, all of the members. I did this once. First I uploaded Liz Reed and then the entire show. I think you'll see this on my channel. I considered it very, very late, basically the end of Dickey's career and that was what gave it the value. The value wasn't Dickey's level of guitar playing or vocals. Dickey seemed a bit lost on stage or overwhelmed. Or maybe that is me feeling sorry for him getting old. I just felt the band had carried him towards the end. It's like Keith Richard sitting down and strumming some chords to Gimmie Shelter, but Dickey was clearly younger and playing better than Keith does these days. Anyway, I kind of wish I never put this on my channel because I swiped it with the hope of simply sharing it. My channel is not monetized and never has been, so in the end, it is less of an issue. Anyway, NO, I never had this on DVD. All I have is an MP4 that I downloaded.
very happy to have found this. this show took place on the day i was born! i feel lucky to have been born at the same time of this instance of beautiful music
Google: Does the song Bougainvillea by Dickey Betts sound like Melissa by The Allman Brother's? I didn't deserve to get blasted by a punk, like jaxflfreebird!!! Bye!!!
Imagine my excitement when One More From The Road came out……I was beside myself waiting to get it on album. My grandmother loaned me some money when we were at Higbees in Cleveland….when they carried record albums. Man that album has been with me ever since. Skynyrd is more than just music….its a class in being American - it’s a built in philosophy that Ronnie taps into for everyone that listens.
