My cousins lived there and we were always visiting.... shooting guns and riding horses. My uncle was a field supervisor for an air conditioning company and they had a huge water cooler running in their booth. We learned to drive on a Dry Lake on Edwards Air Force base near ave E and 60th. Then we would go to the "Office" at 90th & E . That's the bar. Brings back memories.

The outdoor life we had is like no others, city people just didn't have the freedoms we had, no way possible. :D Camping, hiking, shooting, hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling, you name it, we did it.

Which show? They Played "Day On The Green" shows on July 2nd and July 4th that year. I had just graduated High School and we went to the July 2nd show because we had to be at Lake Tahoe for July 4th. Frampton Headlined, Skynyrd, Santana and the Outlaws. Oh, to hear "Freebird" and "Green Grass and High Tides" on the same day...!! We went back to Oakland later in July for the next "Day On The Green"... Led Zeppelin, Rick Derringer and Judas Priest. What a summer

Indeed. In Texas, the flag was sort of ubiquitous. Not a single person that I knew even thought of it as a racist symbol. It was a Southern Pride thing. Nothing nefarious or bigoted was intended from those folks. People have been conditioned for that flag to require them a fainting couch at the mere sight of it. 🙄

On October 20, 1977, a Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi, United States. Chartered by the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from L & J Company of Addison, Texas, it was flying from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, crashing near its destination. Lynyrd Skynyrd lead vocalist and founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, Captain Walter McCreary and First Officer William John Gray all died as a result of the crash, while twenty others survived. The tragedy abruptly halted Lynyrd Skynyrd's career until Van Zant's brother Johnny reformed the band ten years later.

I was 16 and had the live show One More For (From) The Road on 8 track tape. Me and my friends wore that tape out while cruising. If you want a great experience track down the CD and listen to the entire live performance, it’s like this from beginning to end. And no, contrary to the bad image of the Christian White Cross aka. The confederate flag of 2023; the flag did not carry this stigma in 1977. Like many other things in culture, it’s a different world.

Yes, living here in Jacksonville (their home town), it's fairly well known locally that some of the band members attended Robert E Lee High School.

The band lineup that day, only the drummer is still alive. The lead singer, Ronnie Van Zant and the guitarist in red pants next to him, Steve Gaines died in the plane crash on Oct. 20, 1977, along with Steve's sister, Cassie Gaines, a backup singer and a manager, along with the 2 pilots. While this is a great performance, I prefer the 1976 Knebworth performance where Lynyrd Skynyrd ticked off Mick Jagger to the point where The Stones refused to come out for hours, until the crowd settled down. Mick had had a special catwalk added to the stage in the shape of a tongue. He ordered all the other bands to stay off it but Ronnie put his guitar army on it for the Free Bird solo. Also the backup singers, known as The Honkettes weren't at this performance but they were at Knebworth. The other band members were severely injured in the crash. The Pianist, Billy Powell had to have his nose reattached, the tall guitarist, all in white, Allen Collins damaged vertebrae and his right arm. The crash happened in a rural area and the drummer, Artimus Pyle managed to walk to get help. Unfortunately, many of the band's possessions came up missing during the rescue. Souvenir hunters or just thieves maybe.

I'm only 5 minutes and I think it's so cool that you've been playing it on Guitar Hero. Something to keep in mind about these live performances is this is not long before the plane crash that basically ended it, but they would play these shows and they would play so hard, even on the ballads, but they would do these shows sometimes for 2 or 3 hours. Just like Led Zeppelin. It was astounding. Talk about endurance and stamina wow always rocking hard and the crowds just loved it. I was in junior high when the plane crash happened and we were all devastated. It's so cool to hear you drive some enjoyment out of it all these years later.

From the band members on the stage, two band members were fatally wounded in the plane crash: Ronnie Van Zant (lead singer) and guitarist in the red pants with the shortest hair, Steve Gaines. Steve’s sister, Cassie Gaines also perished, and she was one of the three backup singers, known as The Honkettes. This song was in the movie Forest Gump and several more. I heard it the other day in an episode of YOUNG SHELDON.

I’m from the UK and around 1990 my ex husband and I were travelling through Alabama. Around lunchtime we pulled off the road at a pizza shack. We sat outside on the porch in the sun eating pizza drinking cold beer and listening to Freebird on the juke box……..life does not get any better❤️

The value of those instruments are astronomical. Priceless by todays standards.

Hey molly... There is a documentary called 'if i leave here now'. Its brilliant, there is a part where one if them is talking about being at a party or something, they are all on acid, tripping their knackers off.. And he says in the film, a monkey on roller skates comes in and starts drinking from a bottle of jack Daniels and smoking.. You think to yourself, yeah sure all on acid, he was out of it... Then they actually show pictures of them and the monkey drinking jack and getting down with the boys..😂😂😂 It's one of the most rock and roll things ive ever Heard in my life... Freebird... will turn us Englishman into a red blooded American in a instant..😎🤟

After the plane crash, Van Zant’s brother formed a tribute-type band. I went to see them in concert in NY where they played “Freebird” so bittersweetly, memorable and lovely.

@msmrsro 10 месяцев назад

There is a great documentary about them called “if I leave here tomorrow”. I highly recommend.

51 years ago, this great song and unbelievable band debuted. Four years later, we lost Ronnie and Steve. The crash was about an hour and 45 minutes from where I live. I saw them, in 1987, when Johnny reformed the band. Thoroughly enjoyed it! He looked and sounded so much like his big brother.

Back in the day (early to mid 1970s), it was common that a rock concert consisted of a “warm up band”, a “back up band” and the headliner. In the summer of 1975 at Jackson Mississippi Memorial Colosseum the warm up band was Styx, the back up band was Lynyrd Skynyrd and the headliner was Bachman Turner Overdrive. Man oh man what a night.
