My sisters & I started the 70's as teenagers, ended the 70's in our 20's. Remember, now all of us are grandmother's & grandfather's. But we can still rock.
I'm one of those granny's! We lived such a natural time. We loved makeup but wore very little and just lived naturally clean faced. Our music was fantastic! Thank you for doing this live.
Just pure talent, no Auto-Tune, no phones or distractions in the crowd. All just enjoyed the music, I miss these days. Hard to find a live performance now that I care for, all the dancers, tape loops, Auto-Tune voices, special effects that are in place to hide the lack of talent.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is THE quintessential Southern Rock band...but was tragically plagued by bad luck. Sadly, only two members of this lineup are still living today, slide guitarist Gary Rossington (who made the bird sounds on his guitar) and drummer Artimus Pyle. It was just a few weeks after this that the tragic plane crash happened that killed lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines (red pants) and Steve's sister, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (not seen in this video). That began a long run of tragedy for the band that included the deaths of pianist Billy Powell, guitarist Allen Collins (white shirt and pants) and bassist Leon Wilkerson, as well as a few others not seen in this video. As someone who was born in the 60s and grew up in the 70s, these guys were amongst my musical heroes.
I attended this Concert on July 2, 1977 in Oakland. I was fortunate to have seen the original band before the horrific crash on October 20, 1977. Incredible Show!! RIP to Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, the road manager and pilots!! Lynyrd Skynyrd's music will never die!!
I was at this concert. My first live show. Hard to believe, but Lynyrd Skynyrd wasn't the headliner. It is as an all day event, The Outlaws opened up, then Santana, Skynyrd, and the top of the bill was Peter Frampton. I don't recall Frampton so much, but boy do I remember Skynyrd.
I was there also.....I went to every Day on the Green through about 1981. Went to Skyline High School in Oakland with Tom Hanks in the mid 70s.....All of the Day on the Greens were the bomb. I mean where could you see the Beach Boys and Grateful Dead on the same day.....LOL
@@Mark-tu5yl LOL.....I went to so many of them I can't remember which groups played with who anymore....too drunk. Grateful Dead and Beach Boys in 74. Starting In 75 they had several Days on the Green with friggin Chicago, Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Led Zepplin, Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac etc etc....over the years so many awesome groups. Too many to list. It was one of the greatest times of my music life.....
Free as a Bird. Then they board the Bird ✈️ and never to be seen again. My God. this performance is iconic amazing sad devastatingly so ….even now. I remember the shock.
Times were different back in the 20th century. The music told the story of the times. Lynyrd Skynyrd we’re a group of boys who grew up together in Jacksonville Florida as poor kids with dream and just listen to that beautiful music. Uninhibited freedom of expression
Oh those were the days. I'm in my 60s now and I feel so lucky I grew up during a time of amazingly great music.pink Floyd, deep purple, black Sabbath, rush and many more. The artistry and talent have all but disappeared. As the musicians union say, "keep music live" ✌️♥️🇬🇧
That's the way it was for US in the "70's"!! BEAUTIFUL WOMAN and SICK ASS SOUTHERN ROCK BANDS!! I saw SKYNYRD twice !! BEST 2 SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN !! RIP! 😢😢😢🔥😍🎸😁🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸😁🔥😍🎸😁
This was 44 years ago. These women who were there as 20 years old are now 64 years old and grandmothers today. One of the best rock bands America has ever produced. Awesome reaction.
The band.... Ronnie Van Zant (1948-1977), lead singer, killed in the plane crash Gary Rossington (1951- ) first guitarist seen, only founding member member still alive Allen Collins (1952-1990), the tall guitarist in white Steve Gaines (1949-1977) guitarist with the red pants, also killed in the crash Leon Wilkison (1952-2001) the biker, bass player Billy Powell (1952-2009) piano Artimus Pyle (1948- ) Drums
Everyone who has ever heard this song once is forever low key waiting for, "..chayayayayayayange. Won't you flyyyyy highiiiigh, Freeeeeee Biiird, yeahahah..." guitar Nirvana ensues....
Dear Lady i am a 61 years german, i do remember dancing with my friends, male and female, on the streets when we finally were able to listen to this song. It is a memory i do not want to miss 😊 To me its epic ❤ Still today whenever i had a bad day i am dancing in my pyjama listening to that song ( u dont wanna see that 😊😍😁)
One of the cool things about music is its ability to take us somewhere else. The '70s were not such a happy simple time. Vietnam, Watergate, and massive civil unrest were going on. Nostalgia is a funny thing.
I notice a lot of people looking kinda confused when they hear Gary Rossington using a glass slide on his guitar making the bird chirping sounds . Think about the name of the song is all you have to do . Freebird.... Long Live Skynyrd Nation 💜
There were plenty of people in the '70s and '80s (Dukes of Hazzard) that didn't know much about the Confederate Flag other than that it looked cool (it does) and was associated with the South. I remember seeing it all over the place and not thinking or knowing about its full historical context. A lot of people did just see it as an expression of "Southern Pride", and not a racist symbol of people so committed to black slavery that they rebelled against their country. But times change, and it's good to reevaluate things from time to time!
@@Bramble451 hehe I remember Dukes of hazard and you are right, there was nothing racist about that programme. The General Lee was a cool car. Iconic...
The first couple in the stadium shadows were slow dancing and they both looked totally romantic and into each other. The 2nd couple near the end, the blond girl before the first kiss seemed to be giving him a lecture and waved her hand and then it looked like he just moved in to steal a kiss which she returned but then she turned her head back rather fast to watch the great performance of the LS band. The 2nd time she again turned quickly toward the band. The 3rd time she stiff necked him because like any music lover she did not want to miss out on the finale of this once in a lifetime magical performance. I thought that he was being insensitive to her desire to watch the concert, it didn't appear he got several hints. And I hope the randy boor didn't get any after the concert. lol
Sadly, shortly after this concert (same year) their plane went down and we lost the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines (the one in red pants) and his sister Cassie Gaines who was Steve’s sister and one of three backup singers.
I'll go you one better, best American rock band of any genre EVER!! If this particular group of bandmembers had all lived and gotten to have longevity, I think Skynyrd would've become to America what the Rolling Stones were to Europe, except better lyrically and definitely better musically.
Allman Brothers couldn't even hold SKYNYRD'S smoke machine! Dwayne Allman had the FIRE, no doubt... but he took it with him. Same as most of SKYNYRD! Nice try tho...
Haha! I was at that concert just before I left the Navy. Started with Blue Oyster Cult, then these guys and ended with Peter Frampton. Had a buddy get some tickets for us (me, the wife and 3 other buddies stationed in Long Beach, Ca. at the time). He was in Hunter's Point in San Francisco. Great concert, then Chinatown for dinner. 😍🤗😉
Sadly, 3 months after this concert on Octobe 20, 1977 There was a Horrible plane crash 3 members of the band were were killed including the Lead singer wearing the Hat Ronnie Van Zant,, the Guitarist Steve Gaines wearing Red pants and long sleeve White shirt and his sister Back up Vocalist Cassie Gaines and a Road Manager Dean Kilpatrick. May they all RIP🙏🙏😥😥❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏❤❤
You are awesome. The excitement in the crowd when this song gets played is amazing. I have seen Lynyrd Skynyrd a bunch of times (maybe 10). It is always the same. From the beginning of the show until the end of FreeBird, people are so happy and enjoying the experience. All that was in your face and body language. Thank you again.
About 10 times for me too. Just one of those times they were the opening act. ZZ Top was the headliner. I have nothing against ZZ Top, but when Skynyrd closed with Freebird, the night of music was over for me and I left. More music to come after Freebird has been played? No....sorry....it just doesn't work that way.
YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. I'll stop there b/c I could talk about your other beauties as well, but the 1st statement was what I really wanted to say.
This was ‘my band’ when I was in high school. Saw them in concert several times and was going to see them in Baton Rouge the day the plane crashed. I grieved.
So happy you're discovering Lynyrd Skynyrd! Always loved this. I know someone has probably mentioned this before, but there were two guitars playing off each other in this classic guitar duo. And they were playing fast, and in time with each other. Never seen anything like it since, and it's been 45 years. Skynyrd with the that lineup, including Alan Collins, Steve Gaines and Gary Rossington on lead guitar, Billy Powell on keyboards, Artimus Pyle on drums and Ronnie Van Zandt, the lead singer, songwriter and heart and soul of that band - they were special. We will never see their like again.
I've heard that Adam Jones on guitar and Justin Chancellor on bass in the band Tool will switch off parts with each other in a song in order to reach the ranges they want. Pretty cool!
Great song, great reaction! When’s the last time you seen that many people together genuinely having that good of a time everybody smiling everybody happy! Seen them a few times but this would have been the one to see!
You really seemed to enjoy the piano player , Billy Powell. Watch the video of Call Me The Breeze, Live from the Old Grey Whistle 1975. You wanna see piano playing, you will be amazed at his skills, the camera zooms in on him and you will see the best piano playing ever.
I love Billy's story too, how he was basically a friend of the band and a fan, their roadie. then he showed them how he would play Freebird and they told him he was fired - as their roadie. And hired him as their piano player
Thank you for this video. I knew you would like it more than the audio. Another couple of songs from them that I love are “T for Texas “ and “Honkytonk Nighttime Man”. I think you would love them.
so sad . this was the last concert. I think. melancholic. so deep it hurts. I remember the pain when I heard that ‘Bird’ had crashed and killed them all.
Damn you are gorgeous!!! A true natural beautiful woman!!! Such a lovely energy and any man in your life would be a fool to not treat you like the goddess you are. Wow...peace to you my fellow human being.
The live show from the same year in England when they opened for the Rolling Stones and blew them out of the water is completely superior to this one and way better sound quality. Plus when the organizers told the opening bands not to venture on to the huge tongue shaped stage the stones would use Ronnie pushed the band on to it anyways is so awesome.
This is the reason I asked you to watch this live version, so much better than just listening to a recording. Loved your reaction. Sad thing about this concert is that three months later their plan crashed killing three members including the lead singer
Just 4 months later,it,it all ended, when there tour plane crashed.Please keep there music going,and give use more,like ballad of Curtis Lowe,Tuesday gone,gimme three steps to name just a few.😃🇨🇦😷
