These guys were so good! The 70s were the best time for good music
And so much of it flew under the radar for whatever reason, Frank Marino is a great example as are Wishbone Ash.
Name any band of the time & their best work is done in the 70's.
You are so right. Such diversity of excellence, too - imagine: Lynyrd, Little Feat, Roxy Music, Steely Dan (just to name a few) all superb and all operating in that same decade.
Us 70s kids were spoiled and we didn't know it until now.
Agreed, the 70's were awesome!
In my opinion they are the best band ever to take the stage. One can only wonder what they would have put out if the plane crash never happened. GOAT!
Ronnie was definitely proud of his electric guitar trio. During the instrumental portion of Free Bird at this same UK concert, Ronnie spontaneously has his trio go out on the tongue portion of the stage (Rolling Stones were headlining) drawing well deserved attention to them. BTW, this tour was Steve Gaines first tour with the band.
The best southern rock band in the world. Hands down!
A GOOD ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS.
Even though Van Zant said ARS was the best band in the South.
I always liked ARS too. I think when we have these conversations we may be talking apples and apples. At that time musicians were the best of the best, they had to be, airplay was at a premium. At that level any group can learn tom play another groups song, rather quickly. Don' forget the soul of muscle shoals!
No Doubt About That!
My top 5 Southern Rock bands are 1. Brothers Osbourne 2. The Black Crowes 3. The Allman brothers Brothers band 4. Lynyrd Skynyrd 5. Zac Brown band. It was always Allman brothers until I heard the Crowes and now its Osborne Brothers.... its early hrs so I must get to sleep but rest easy that Southern rock is still as strong as ever
My favorite band of all time Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Ronnie Van Zant ran the tightest ship in rock and roll!! Steve was fixing to take them to all new level! Miss these ol boys very much! Fly High Freebirds!!🦅🎸🦅🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Amen, Randy. Related to Travis? Lol.
Second that, they were the best
@@fastpony8127 yes hes the rich cousin that made it, I'm still trying!! Lol
@@randytritt4610 Interesting. Good luck, bro!
Just a perfect example of why people love SKYNYRD, .
They took pride in playing as Tight as possible.
. Great job. Thanks!
Allen Collins, Steve Gaines and Gary Rossington - amazing firepower in 1976....
Well, the *band name* took a 10-year hiatus. Most of the surviving band members were back recording and performing as Rossington Collins Band by 1979. (Which lasted until '82, morphing into the Allen Collins Band in '83...) The fact that these guys almost didn't stop is a little stunning.
ARTIMUS PYLE HAS ALWAYS SAID, THIS IS THE DAY THAT WE BLEW THE ROLLING STONES OFF THE STAGE, THE STONES WERE THE MAIN ACT, AND THIS WAS THIER STAGE, COUSIN FIGEL
Cousin Figel They blew everyone off the stage. Skynyrd 1a, Allman Bros 1b. Love all my brothers and the Honkettes! Both of their sounds are unique to this day. Thank you all very much for years of entertainment!
@@mauallen4234 SKYNYRD WAS A CLASS ACT INDEED, RONNIE WAS THE MAN WHO MADE THESE PEOPLE PLAY TO THEIR BEST , OR HE WOULD PUNCH YOU AFTER THE SHOW, AND SAY PLAY BETTER NEXT TIME, WHEN THE PLANE CRASH HAPPENED WE LOST A GREAT MAN, AND OTHER GREAT PEOPLE, SKYNYRD HAD LOST THE BAND LEADER, AFTER THAT THEY DID VERY WELL FOR 33 YEARS , MADE A TON OF MONEY, THAT RONNIE COULD NEVER IMAGINE, YA RONNIE WANTED TO MAKE SOME MONEY, BUT I FEEL HIS HEART WAS ALWAYS IN THE MUSIC, I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO FISHING WITH RONNIE, COUSIN FIGEL
Cousin Figel Next time we have an industrial sized cooler filled with Guinness and whatever y’all want and we fish all day, talk turkey and jam at night.
Lynyrd Skynyrd sure knew how to give their audience -- and themselves -- a good time! That sad day in 1977 was the second day the music died.
I love this band and the way Ronnie sang was like a breath of fresh air it's sad that he died too soon miss his voice and image !
That entire concert is incredible. It's a must have to the collection.
As a Canadian, LS was one of my favourite groups as they offered music you could boogie along with. They were iconic for the 70s as their music was very different than all the gazillion bands that came out. I was truly heartbroken when Ronnie and other members died tragically. What a loss to the music world.
Gimme back my bullets, hell yeah Johnny boy loves Skynyrd, gimme back my bullets...
The best band ever!! Such talent all in one place ♥️🎤🎸💙
Definitely my favorite band and Stevie Ray
You knew when Ronnie had that BIG GRIN there was going to be a great show, Being from alabama , got see them and they never disapointed THANKS FIL
Southern rock at its best!
That whole concert shows the power of L S. The crowd came to see the Stones and Ronnie and the boys won them over. "Worst gig in rock at the time was playing warm up for the Stones". The Free Bird finale was legendary and might never be surpassed. No special effects or lighting, or fireworks just the POWER of raw talent set free.
Perfectly spoken
@Carl Swenson Indeed, by all accounts Lynyrd Skynyrd had upstaged "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in The World" by concert's end and playing at Knebworth, the Stones home turf, that was not an easy task. As Fil said, Ronnie was thoroughly enjoying himself and his new guitarist Steve Gaines. And, when Ronnie was happy, the whole band played better.
Yep, and that's when Ronnie escorted his guys out on to the forbidden tongue, as far as their guitar cords would get let them go. Rumor has it the Stones were pissed but who cares.
Ronnie made a point! They were told not to go out on the tongue. Ronnie agreed, until free bird which Ronnie was not only proving a point with the song lyrics, but he came to show the world what he had and to the tongue they went.
Can you imagine Steve Gaines!! What he was feeling!!! He hadn’t been with them very long. He came from a rural area , right where I’m at. I know the places he played before he left for Skynyrd. Talk about going from zero to 1000000 !! He did, so he goes from playing stones covers on stage at a Honky Tonk in Galena Ks to Knebworth on the tongue !! Of The Rolling Stones stage, in less than a year!!! Wth! ? His head must have been spinning!
Wasn't it Led Zeppelin, not the Rolling Stones? Don't tell me all 3 were there.
Fil + Live Lynyrd Skynyrd =Awesomeness
THIS IS THE DAY THAT SKYNYRD BLEW THE STONES OFF OF THIER OWN STAGE, KNEBWORTH, JIMMIE RODGERS COULD NEVER IMAGINE THAT HIS SONG WOULD SOUND LIKE THIS, SKYNYRD DID THIS , AND BLEW THE TRAIN OFF THE RAILS, WHAT A GREAT JOB, COUSIN FIGEL
Skynyrd also did a smoking hot version of Cream's Crossroads. Upon hearing it, and Allen's solo in particular, Eric Clapton reportedly said, "That's the way I should have done it!" Considering Allen was Eric's biggest fan- that's high praise. ( the Gibson Explorer Allen is playing here originally belonged to Clapton)
pyroman6000 Allen bought the Explorer at a music store in Nashville. The article on Society Of Rock is BS.
Thanks Fil for explaining things in a way that even i can understand it...lol
I still own "Street Survivors" on vinyl with the initial cover art. Brought chills to me then, and still does to a certain extent. But Skynyrd was HUGE in the south. I grew up in Houston, and along with several other bands (I know I will be omitting some, but The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Charlie Daniels, Little Feat . . . I'll stop, but you get the point - A LOT of talent!) Skynyrd albums got purchased the day they were released. Happy New Year, Fil, and I always look forward to seeing the reminder pop up in RUclips that you have a new video out.
Did you have the sleeve in it that had the tour dates on it, when I bought mine when it first came out and had a list of tour dates only album that I ever bought back then it had that... Quite ironic it was
Me too : )
Right on, but I'm a northerner and they were huge there, too! I'd add the Outlaws to your list, very underrated band.
Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot
@@bilbobaggins4710
I was thinking Molly Hatchet as well 🍺
Love Skynyrd!!!
Been to so many concerts. I really loved them when they performed at Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam Festivals. Stevie Ray Vaughn jamed with them once on stage. We went nuts!!
Wow that must have been great
That vid is on here. SRV tears it up...
Such a tight band. Crazy how good this lineup was.
Thanks soooooo much for the L S video T For Texas so much overlooked song & performance. The best band of all time bar none.
I can remember having a copy of Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd when I was around 15 or so, I knew it was a special band when I first heard it, I’m 57 now.... there’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then. 🎸🎤🥁🎟
Curtis Hermanson right there with ya....
I'm 44 now, the first album I bought when I was 13 was Pronounced. Good music doesn't die, it just becomes legend
I'll be 57 in a few months. Definitely a lot of water has passed! I had a little basement apartment I rented when I was 17 years old we would listen to that album while partying. Kids today will never understand
All of my best memories from my teenage yrs are tied to songs from “pronounced” and second helping
Same here 57 now. Started listening to them as a teen. Never saw Ronnie but seen them with Johnnie roughly 25 times since the tribute tour
Just a bunch of country boys who’s talent grew together as they played, my favorite bang of all time
I read somewhere that Ronnie never wrote down the lyrics to his song saying"if you gotta write it down to remember it,it ain't worth remembering"✌💖I hope he's up there jamming with his bandmates and the Allman brothers 😎
Lynyrd Skynyrd now you're hitting home Fil, they put on great shows with some really well written songs, thank you, Jeff in LA USA
I loved Skynyrd from the first time I heard them. Good, raw southern rock!! They could hold tons of people in the palms of their hands. Great review, as always, Fil. Rock!!🎤🎸🎙🎶🎹🌝
Thanks Fil. You're the best music teacher I've had. You'd definitely get an apple for your desk if I was a kid.
I saw them live in Birmingham, England, round about '75 or '76. This song and Call me the Breeze were the standouts 'till Freebird at the end.
Best rock concert I ever went to.
Steve Gains completed the band and Ronny knew it. Steve had entire left side of stage when the boys recognized how outstanding he was.
1977 was my senoir year at high school. These guys were my favorite band. I bought the "Street Survivors" album, with the flames behind the band. Was getting ready to buy tickets to see them, for their big tour...then couldn't.😳It's my most treasured album.👍😎🎸🎶
A good time was had by all and here we are 44 years later still getting down with it! Yes!
Billy Powell's piano is exceptional! Happy New Year Fil! Peace!
Fil, your background history of LS is spot on. They’ve been my all time favorite band since I first heard them when I was 14 years old. I’ve always thought that T for Texas was the best song to showcase their three guitar lineup and the entire video of this concert is outstanding.
Thanks for kicking off the new year with this gem.
Happy New Year, Everyone!
I love Fil's description/demonstration of clapping and dancing on the off beats and what a groove it is for everyone involved!
When Billy played his version of freebird, they were godsmacked they loved it.
he cut that smile to Artimus because he knew he had picked the right player at the time.
That's exactly right!
Really glad Steve’s sister Cassie was relentless about the boys hearing her brother play 🎸🎸
Yeah but he may still be alive if she hadn't
@@apexshaver7301 brutal...actually a fucked up thing to say, not only because she died too.....
Oh, and I love the guitars talking back to one another. Classic jam band!!!!!!
Excellent choice. Fil , one of their best imo.💗
Happy New Year Fil! Insta like on Skynyrd, all us southern boys grew up with these guys! Rock on!
limitinfinity and Southern girls ♥️🎤💙🎸♥️
"Give Me Back My Bullets"...one of their best songs.
Southern rock at its finest.
Thanks for checking these guys out
happy new year everyone, best wishes for 2020 . keep on rocking in the free world :)
I have deep mad respect for Allen , Ed an Gary too, but my dad Who’s gone to where all great guitarist must eventually go often said that most of the world never got to know how great Steve gains really was... So sad, he never really got the time to solidify his name with so many others...
Greetings from America Phil,and my favorite song by Lynyrd Skynyrd is Sweet Home Alabama,and as usual thank you for posting another great video with your great personal analysis🎸🎤👍
On a Hunt
@@mikesimonian484 On The Hunt
@@mikesimonian484 on the hunt is right up there with me
The "On the Hunt" opening has got be one of the baddest ass guitar riffs ever put to tape. But I couldn't really name my favorite Skynyrd tune because there's so many. It's like asking what's your favorite Hendrix song! Impossible to narrow it down to just one when there's so many great ones! Most bands are lucky to have ONE good song. Cheers P[>
I get the same reaction when I listen to them play, I smile ear to ear instantly! Thank you for all of your analyses. Appreciate them alot mate
Sensational Fil! These guys were the real deal! Live and jamming out on stage with the whole crowd! Damn awesome! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘👌
maybe the best guitar band of all time. the entire band could flat out nail the live performances. as a kid, we jammed to them all the time.
Is this what being tight means? Perfect band. We lost them too soon. They'd have broke up. Given us more music from brilliant individual artists. Things weren't meant to be, sums it up . Thanks Fil.
In the 1970's we had drive inns , bowling alley's, muscle cars , and some of the best music ever , born 2-7-1961
10/17/60 here. Ahh, the memories...
Y'all were babies. Getting to have the adult version of the 70s going to all the concerts in the south was full of experiences that will never be duplicated. The 60s n 70s were unique to say the least.
I really like the fact that you review artists who were amazing.... way before you were born. It's great to see you appreciating the talent from years way back. Your reviews also help inspire me again to write songs & play again. Thanks. Keep up the great work. GAZ (Melbourne/Australia)
Great way to rock in the new year, southern style. 🤘
These guys could flat out bring it.. One of the great guitar bands ever.. Life is funny how you get on top of the world then a day later you vanish.. Any wanna be rock musician like myself jammed to their records in those days
Another great analysis Fil! I love Skynyrd! It makes me sad to think of what could have been if not for the plane crash.
Ronnie would go barefoot at indoor gigs to feel the stage heat up. When the three guitar attack opened up live, it was a sight to behold. Steve Gaines old band The Crawdads was a smokin' band. He took them to a whole new level. The live at the Fox theatre album was a great live show..."hot as a fox in a forest fire".
You couldn't have picked a better band to kick the year off southern style what can I say being from the lone star state great job Fil . Matter of fact ZZ ,s funky dogs and nasty kings 😉🤘🇨🇱
My fav. ZZ song Scott...Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings...from Houston, Tx.
@@if6turnedouttobe9 yes sir up here in Longview.
Great job in the analysis! I was playing in local bands at the same time Steve Gaines was playing in Crawdaddy. Even then people knew he was special.
I forgot to mention how much I really appreciate your channel. You do an outstanding job of explaining dynamics and techniques, and you do it with a fun style. Thank you from the US!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for this, Fil!! I never realized how amazing they truly were until I saw this video two years ago.. I've seen many people play slide, but I've never seen anyone play it with their pinky and totally shred like Steve Gaines does!! Independently, Allen, Gary and Steve were awesome.. Collectively, they were unstoppable!! If I had to follow them, I probably would've just went home lol!! Amazing band, fantastic analysis, and thank you for making this video!!
Aw, what a sad bunch of loss to that airplane crash. Loved this exuberant performance and was especially focused on the drums! So, learning about the audience clapping on the "ands" was extra interesting to me...no wonder it kept reminding me of playing jump rope as a kid! Wonderful analysis of everything!
I love your comments and stories Fil! You actually ADD something to the videos. You’re a one in a million! ❤️
Great band, great song, great rendition.
On the 'One More From the Road' live album, 'Call Me The Breeze' by J.J. Cale swiftly followed by this song written by Jimmie Rogers are in fact my favourite performances on the double album, despite the fact that they weren't their own songs - but just perfect examples of the band boogieing out.
What talent we lost when that plane went down, but they'll never be forgotten- many thanks for your analysis and for helping keep the Skynyrd spirit alive. ROCK!
My band used to play You Got That Right off the Street Survivors lp. The vocal is between Ronnie and Steve and is an absolute blast to play and sing. Well back when I still could sing.
Rock
Seriously suggest you do one of your excellent critiques of That Smell, off Street Survivors. Killer dual and triple lead guitar runs all over the piece. Ronnie's lyrics are spot on, too.
Happy new year Fil and everybody 💖
Ed King; RIP. One of the most under valued guitarists ever.
Hey Fil! GREAT CHOICE
One thing - Allen wasn't on a rival baseball team, he was 4 years younger than Ronnie. Ronnie, Gary and Bob heard that Allen had a guitar and amp, so they decided to recruit him. Ronnie and Bob both had bad reputations, which is why Allen climbed the tree when they approached him and had to be talked down.
Groovy nostalgia and memories of my hippies days. ☮☮ Always nice to come back to it and thank you Fil for keeping it alive.
Bad ass boys, raunchy hard rockin boys and love the hell out of them !!! They played so fluid and effortlessly Thanks Fil for the great review.. lol love the stoners in the audience LOL and happy happy new year x
Fil,,,,,,, They where just the Kids from the Neighborhood! I remember the story of the Baseball! Friendships made from Life!
"The Needle And The Spoon."
Allen's solos = sublime.
Savoy Brown
@@kathleen3177 oh yes. Savoy Brown.
@@kathleen3177 I saw them live, & met the band members.
You better quit son before you’re dead
Man, I always gain knowledge from these videos, things that I had never considered. Love it. Thank you.
Wonderful video Fil,Ty! Lynyrd skynyrd are hands down the best southern rock group,IMHO!the "layering"of instruments is excellent.their joy in performing is infectious and wonderful!
They were great in person. You really enjoyed them. Ronnie was a an awesome writer. He never wrote anything down. Amazing
Thank you fil. No one does a better internet presentation than you. Such a terrible loss to the world when that crappy plane took all those wonderful people. Long live Gary rossington, a great guitarist and a better person. You are so right about the 1929 version of t for texas. God bless everyone.
you can really hear the influence of the Allman Brothers Band in Skynard. They often credited Duane and Greg Allman with inspiring their music. They had much respect for them.
Duane turned Gary onto using a Coricidin bottle for slide. Thank You So Much for highlighting and breaking down their amazing talent and music!
What a brilliant way to ring in the New Year! One of the best bands ever. Southern rock at its finest. 🤟🏻🤟🏻💙💙
Thank you for helping me to appreciate this band in depth. I feel like i just discovered Lynard Skynard a month ago. Which is crazy because i was in my teens and early 20's when they were playing. I know!! ; ) It just wasn't my kind of music. I thought. When i discovered one month ago that THESE guys were the ones singing 'Sweet Home Alabama', i almost slapped my own face. then i got into them and through research found out about the plane crash. i found them one sweet night - and lost them within a few hours. The beauty is that they live on. Again, thank you for not only helping me to appreciate the finer points of this band, but all the artists you've 'put on the agenda for tonight'. I love music and have long felt i coulda/shoulda been in some facet of the industry. That never happened in this lifetime, i never even tried - but i have my hopes for discovering and using whatever gift i may have in Heaven! Meantime - Rock On!
Skynyrd 🤘
eljefe414 these guys are royalty where I come from 🎸🎤
I love his smile at 4:12. It shows that he knows this shit is good.
What a way to start the new year! Thanks, Fil, from South Georgia❣️
T for treasure. That's what these boyzzz were in the bicentennial year we were rocking to these guys... Jamming. .. Timing... Slide... Piano... Drums.. Bass... Beautiful Brotherrrrr
The Rossington Collins Band followed Lynyrd Skynyrd. When they played Free Bird it was done as an instrumental with the spotlights shining on the vacant microphone.
This is one of my favorite Skynyrd’s songs. Love, love it. That’s the story I heard too, regarding the Ronnie hitting Bob Burns.
Wonderful iconic epic legendary band.
Thanx, HNY Fil, keep it up.
Yet another outstanding analysis!
I once read that Ronnie insisted on so many rehearsals, day after day, in that one-room shack down by the river where they practiced, that the first time they went into a real studio to record, they were doing ONE-TAKE recordings. Neither the record's producer nor the sound engineers could believe that they were so incredibly tight and professional--especially when considering their penchant for alcohol, drugs, and trouble! Their playing was just so good that there wasn't anything to "fix."
Ronnie, especially, was a BAD drunk, but when it came to his music, he insisted on perfection. And so it went, day after day, practice after practice...until the guys had their parts down PERFECTLY, and could all come together as one rockin' tight band. And all of their hard work showed, both on stage and on their albums. I don't think that there was anyone else like them, then and especially today.
It's too bad that other musicians--of course, I'm referring to today's crop--don't give their music the respect it deserves, as did Lynyrd Skynyrd's entire lineup. More bands like that would skyrocket to the top of today's charts. I guess that we just have to hope that professionalism,, incredibly hard work, and incessant rehearsals become a thing with one of today's up-and-coming bands.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, you guys will always live on in my heart. You guys were the first ones who really showed me what Southern Rock could DO when done RIGHT--even for a Southwestern-born/Northern Pacific Ocean Navy Brat! It brought people together, and showed them musical perfection. Lynyrd Skynyrd, ROCK!!!
They also called themselves "My Back Yard" early on. Ronnie, Gary, and Allen were leery of letting Steve play. They told the tech guys to turn him off if he sucked. The rest is history. A little tidbit, Ronnie showed just how badass he was when he shared the spotlight with Steve on many songs. Steve Gaines brought new life to the band. The guys were cleaning up their act and sounding better than ever. Then Oct 20, 1977, happened. That was the day LYNYRD SKYNYRD died.
Thank you for the backstories as well as the commentary on the performance. This is a superb performance.
Great Band Floridas own . There
Wont be another like this one.
Great commentary by you as well breaking it down. Thanks.
And I had the pleasure to see them in Denver colorado with the outlaws,Marshall Tucker,heart,boston,

Hot damn. Not only does that one get these Crazy Legs moving now I understand why I jump up and down. Thanks professor always learn something. Peace Boogie Woogie. PS Carolyn Wonderland

@@paulablissett9396 thanks Paula hope you have a blessed New Year. Peace Boogie Woogie
Thanks for all of the information about this band. Another very good job Fil!
Ronnie was like a bloodthirsty dictator with a Napoleon complex with his band, they were scared shitless of him. He was just one of those oldest brother short guys who had no fear, he'd do anything to keep his power and they all knew it. When he smiled the whole band could feel it even if they couldn't see it. A couple of watches of this video will show what I'm talking about.
Richie B Ed King couldn’t deal with Ronnie anymore.
