Inna: "I don't know how this song could get any better."
Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Hold my beer." Ramps up to double time and dives into a guitar duel.
Yup
Three months after this performance, their plane ran out of fuel, 15 minutes from their destination. Several members of the band, including Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gains, and Cassie Gains were killed, along with several members of the crew. They were one of the best live bands, ever. Three guitars, one piano, one bass, and a madman drummer, all working together in perfect harmony.
3 months later that great voice was silenced forever. Rest easy Ronnie. You created the rock anthem of all southern rock music. You will never be forgotten.
so glad I made that concert
R.i.p. also to all the other members who are no longer with. Your music lives on.
His brother took his place for a while. I got to play a show with them.
@@UltraViolent21 That is cool that you got the chance to play with them.
@@UltraViolent21 His brother is still taking his place to this day. The last original member passed away last year. The drummer in this video is still alive but plays with a different band and never joined the Lynard Skynard second coming after the plane crash.
This is "Southern Rock". It's definitely got some country roots.
Its Rock & Roll my friend
@@fxrwg83 Dude, they flew the confederate flag. They weren't Americans, they were southern.
@@jasonremy1627 when skynyrd started it was rock & roll. Plain & simple. It wasn't southern rock until a few years ago when someone said southern rock. It was & always be rock & roll
I'm a black guy who grew up with a varied eclectic taste in music from Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Hip Hop, Rock/Heavy Metal/Alternative, R&B, Classical, some pop etc....but even though this song was before my time, I have always rated this song as among the top 3 best songs in the history of humankind alongside music gems such as Beethoven's 'Symphony #9 - Ode To Joy', The Beatles "Hey, Jude", Suzanne Vega's "Luca", Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry", Nivana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Guns N' Roses "Sweet Child Of Mine" and "November Rain", Tupac Shakur''s "Dear, Mama", Biggie Smalls "Warning", Janet Jackson's "Rythm Nation", Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Supercat and Nocodemus's "Cabin Stabbin" and so much more on my personal list. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" is a masterpiece of what human culture has produced in music. An absolute masterpiece.
Try China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider from the Europe ‘72 album by the Grateful Dead. ✌️❤️🎶

With that list in mind, here are two more rock songs you might enjoy:
"Hotel California" by Eagles
"Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix
i never remember if it's Eagles or LedZep who is forbidden in music stores
my picks would be Gary Moore and Prince in the top 20 Eric Clapton also had good ones
@@mcasualjacques Yep....I know and love all those songs you mentioned as well. It is impossible to name and list all the great songs I love in just one RUclips comment. But the ones I mentioned, IMHO are among the top 10 greatest of all time in throughout ALL genres of music. And I haven;t even named any of Mozart's compositions as yet...or any modern classical music by John Williams and Alan Silvestri.
I was at this concert at the Oakland Coliseum July 2, 1977. It was one of a series of summer concerts there every year called "Day on the Green", organized and promoted by Bill Graham, a legendary promoter who was responsible for most concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area in those days. Graham brought all the great bands to the Bay Area. Every week of the year some top band was playing somewhere in the area. Ticket prices ranged from about $6-$12. This day there were 4 bands, with The Outlaws opening the show, followed by Santana, then Lynyrd Skynyrd, and finally Peter Frampton.
Did you see The Who?
@@thomassanchez-oo6sb I can't remember why, but when the Who played here in '76 I think it was, I passed on that concert. Probably a big mistake!
@@rodjohnson2632 I wasn’t Allowed to go😕
@@thomassanchez-oo6sb Yeah, I had that problem too a few years earlier, when I was just a bit too young. I missed a lot of great early 70's concerts, it would have helped to have been born a couple of years sooner.
M@@thomassanchez-oo6sb The Who did Winterland. This Skynyrd show was great
god i miss the 70's
You and me both brother.
No kidding ✌️
Amen ... I was born in 71 but from spring of 73 on my memories are crystal clear and it was a magical time.
Lynyrd Skynyrd will get you a Thumbs Up 👍every time!!!
The greatest Southern Rock Band of ALL TIMES. I’m born and raised it Tennessee in the 70s loved them it was a great time in the world of music 🇺🇸
Live just a bit south from you in Mississippi probably crossed some of the same creeks
I was born in the 70s but it turned into the 80s 2 weeks later.
I was there, and it was magical. No phones, cameras, or sunscreen. Just music, fun, and memories to last a lifetime.
"No phones, cameras, or sunscreen. Just music, fun, and cancer..."
No cameras, but we just watched a recording.😂
@@shadymodnation5781 Sun doesn't cause cancer.
Band took the name from a gym teacher that used to give them a hard time for having long hair. His name was Leonard Skinner. This concert is about two months before a plane crash that took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant (lead singer), guitarist Steve Gaines (white shirt, red pants) and sister Cassie Gaines (backing singer).
Also road manager and 2 pilots.
The whistle sound is made by the glass slide for slide guitar.
Played on the 12th fret harmonic. The fret wire under the strings at the 2nd fret helped it ring out.
Played by Gary Rossington as a tribute to Duane Allman.
We knew how to do it in 1977. That was also the year I graduated from high school.
How could it get any better than this? You asked for it, you got it.❤❤❤
Jacksonville, Florida, westside!!
Oh the good old days. I was 20 when I went to that concert. They were just one of four bands that played that day. Santana, Peter Frampton and The Outlaws were the others. They all played a second concert at the same place on July 4th.
Eight guitar players that day. My first big show, and so good that I went on the 4th for the second show
I'll be 60 in September, and I've been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd almost my entire life. All of my favorite memories of my youth include Lynyrd Skynyrd playing in the background. I've had 2 amazing dogs named Skynyrd, and my newest 5 month old pup is named Lynyrd. In America's Deep South where I grew up, Lynyrd Skynyrd members are gods.
Please check out "Call Me the Breeze" and be amazed at Billy Powell's piano abilities.
Thank you for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
IMHO the extended piano break in this live version really deepens the underlying melancholy of the track in a way that the studio track does not.
The piano amazes me in that it can be heard, and its presence contributes, all the way to the very end of the very loud denouement and coda. Great sound engineering and equipment.
Every time I see someone react to this version, the wonderment in their smile at the incredible musicianship shows up. I came to realize that in 20 years (if we’re still here) another generation will see this footage that is part of Southern Rock history…& get the same smile as our beautiful hostess. 🤘😎
She is killing me ! When she said I do not know how it can get better ! Just wait Dear ! Put on your seat belt !
The legend is... this song has never ended. It is still going... even as a heavenly song now, into eternity.
Just found your channel, and I love seeing young people react to the greatest time in music.
Your reaction at the 10:20 mark forward says it all. I'm 66 and saw lots lot live bands in the 70's, and nothing will compare to this. These were true professionals. LIve, studio, the licks were all the same. There is a live perforance in London a year earler where they opened for the Stones, and blew everyone away. They were told not to go on to the tounge stage, but they did. EPIC.
Just for your own enjoyment, please view this band's rendition of this same song from Knebworth, England (in 1976 I believe). The guitar solo was a longer version and Collins was really rocking that day! Some of the background on why the bank went out on the Rolling Stone's tongue stage is also of not.
This song never gets old and true reactions of it always get me. I have watched 100's of reactions to this song but i must say yours was by far the best.
U witnessed Greatness!!!!
I WAS THERE ! IT WAS 1977 ! AND IT WAS AMAZING ! ALLEN COLLINS WAS THE MAIN SOLOIST , HE WAS ALL IN WHITE , AND HE DID THE BULK OF THE SOLO !
Yup, drove up from Santa Cruz
@@user-po3ev7is5w I ONLY HAD TO DRIVE FROM ANTIOCH , CA. I THINK THERE WAS ABOUT 3 OF US IF I REMEMBER RIGHT !
“Respect”!!!!!!!🔥🤘🎸✌️😀
I was in High School in Atlanta at that time. Being from the South we all had Lynyrd Skynyrd 8 track tapes. Those were the days when no one was bothered by cell phones and crowds were safer to be in. Don't miss "Sweet Home Alabama".
I was at this concert, my first. The lineup, in order of appearance, The Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Peter Frampton.
It was a greeeeeeat show.
Other Lynyrd Skynyrd songs: Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, Simple Man
Beautiful response from a beautiful girl! Just before Allen Collin's guitar solo when you said 'I don't know how this can get better" I, like I am sure so many others viewing this reaction said - Just wait! I enjoyed this - thanks.
Yep. I just knowingly smiled when she said that.
@@tvdroid22 😀
My first thought: You ain’t seen nothing yet!
One of if not the best guitar solos impo.
Free Bird might be one of the best live jams ever, 3 guitars, bass, drums and piano all going batshit crazy perfectly playing off each other.
A great review of the the greatest song in rock and arguably the greatest concert footage ever filmed. ♥️
Everyone looks at the guitarist during the solo, but the bassist is putting in work.
I got to play a show with some of the remaining members of LS. The singers brother sang. I was star struck.
So many years later, this performance and its energy is viscerally palpable. You can feel the crowd and band interaction.
Everyone left as satisfied as one could ever be.
One of the best performances of any song, ever.
Key word in JS5964's reaction: ENERGY! Takes this live version quantum levels above the studio recording.
LYNYRD SKYNYRD imo, is the best American Rock Band, so many great songs
Best band ever
This is my favorite band. They have so many great songs
Not bad for some poor boys from Jacksonville Florida. Lynyrd Skynyrd was different. Great group of musicians and the perfect voice for their music. Legendary band that always wanted their live sound to sound like the studio versions. Unfortunately the band met with a tragic end.
My favorite band ever.
Thanks for the reaction, glad you loved it.
An amazing band that lineup left us too soon due to a plane crash taking the singer, a guitarist the guitarist singer and backup singer. I think the crash was shortly after this performance. They were one of the biggest bands in the 1970s and at their peak when the plane crash happened. Their other big hit is Sweet Home Alabama but they have so many great songs. Tuesday's Gone, Saturday Night Special, Gimme Back My Bullets, Gimme Three Steps, T For Texas, The Ballad of Curtis Loew. They were a Southern Rock band originally from Jacksonville, Florida if I am not mistaken.
This is the best performance of "Freebird". It really shows how great each member really was. Shows off Billy Powell's classical piano training and how the "3 Guitar Army" of Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, and Steve Gaines can jam together as one entity, and don't forget Leon Wilkeson on bass. And driving everything is Artimus Pyle on drums. Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant was at the top of his game and never sounded better. Even the back-up singers, JoJo Billingsly, Leslie Hawkins, and Cassie Gaines are just amazing. They are all gone now except for Artimus who is still rockin' out with his own band and playing many of Skynyrd's old standards in tribute to his fallen brethren.
Artimus rarely gets the credit he deserves. Don't understand why. He's still Rockin Strong!
@@WilliamWarlick Agree.
Explained perfectly. Rock and Roll Heaven has a perfect band. The Artemis Pyle Band is performing as close to perfectly, too, here on earth.
Pronounced "Lehnerd-skinherd" somehow is the album name where is featured this song, I gess is from 1973. A stunning live performance of any band, the atmpsphere, the vibe, perfromance, the crowd, everything!!!. The style is Southern Rock. Nice reaction.
Lynard Skynyrd was the name of the PE coach at the high school that Ronnie Van Zant attended in Jacksonville, Florida where all of the members of the band were from. And what you were listening too was Southern U.S. Rock n' Roll.
You will be interested to know about just how talented about each of this bands actually were. And what you will also be fascinated by is its combined work ethic that produced the magic you just heard. At the heart of it all was Ronnie Van Zant, their lead singer and songwriter whose sheer will brought and kept the band together. He was a no-nonsense, working-class type of man who had a dream of becoming a star and did everything to achieve it.
The 1970's was an interesting period in American history. A time when old style ethics and morays were giving way to the new ideals by a new generation of American youth who were taking their place in society. And what can I say? You were looking at a crowd of people who would become your parents having the time of their lives!
The best reaction to this iconic performance.
As I noticed you get excited when the tempo first began to increase, my thought was -- She's gonna freak out.
Knowing what was coming. "Whoo-hoo!!"
And was that your cracking knuckles that I heard over the song? Dy-no-mite !!
I was there. I was 17 years old and Free as a Bird. It was epic! I'm now 64 and still have the same feeling 47 years later.
Wonderful reaction! You'd love their performance of "Sweet Home Alabama" on the same show.
Back in the day going to shows like this was a common occurrence for many of us. I was actually in that biz and practically lived at shows, many, many just like this. Unfortunately the plane crash happened before I got a chance to work with them. I did get to do a Rossington Collins Band show latter. They played Free Bird with no vocals as a tribute to those who went before them.
Southern Rock rocks. The Allman Brothers, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet are a good place to start going down the Southern Rock rabbit hole.
Marshall Tucker Band, too!
@@artbagley1406 My bad!
@@jdbroders64 Nothing "bad," you're simply becoming more aware of events/people in the past when you weren't there.
The girls were not wearing their bras. It is casual wear called halter tops...very popular at the time. There are no words in the song after the "bird" flys away and when you listen the guitars sound like a bird flying flapping it's wings faster and faster as it soars into the sky and joins a flock.
This is from the days when I went to a lot of concerts. (I graduated high school in 1979) It was held at a baseball stadium. The event was part of an annual series of shows called Day On The Green where a LOT of big names performers came and played.
And the name is pronounced as LIN-erd SKIN-erd
With that accent you can say it however you want.😀
I’m 70 and this still gives me goose bumps..love the kids having a great time.
Your reaction was wonderful, from asking if they were from Swedish, mispronouncing the band name, and then stopping it and asking how it could get better. The delight on your face was so charming. Thanks! I saw them in a stadium the year before. It was awesome, and the video brings back those memories very well.
Back in the days when the band controlled what was happening on stage and the acts weren't over processed and sterilized. Raw energy. Missed this concert, but saw them live at the Hampton Coliseum, in either the winter of '76 or spring of '77. Great show.
You've never heard Lynyrd Skynyrd shame great band many great songs
Great song
Growing up in the 70s in Virginia, you were gonna hear this at every school dance. Starts out a slow dance and turns in to a fast dance party!
Great reaction…
Great group.
Great song to melt your face with shinny new headphones lol
Same summer 77,seen them at mile high stadium, 7 bands,12 hours. They were unbelievable
I love how excited you get when you do your reviews! Thank you for posting.
I like how you said I don't know how this song can get any better😂 You found out at the end with the guitar solo and outro.
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1977. The concert that you played here was on my birthday in '77. I don't think that the stadium is staying there after this season. There is no longer a Pro Football, Basketball or Baseball team in Oakland after 2024. All of the professional teams moved to other cites. The football team is in Las Vegas now, and the Oakland Athletics' baseball team's lease ends after the 2024 season, which is where that concert was held. The baseball team applied to move to Las Vegas as well. I saw them play in Lexington, Kentucky in May of that same year. Three of those guys died in a plane crash in Mississippi in October of 1977, that same year. That haunted me for a couple of years afterward.
That is so precious. How can it get any better? Oh my gosh I just can't wait... First time to your channel. I'm enjoying this a lot. Can't wait for the rest.. thanks for sharing
The best live concert ever!
One of the best Southern Rock songs of all time
Oakland California.
Across the bay from San
Francisco.
They had concerts during
the summer called--
'Day on the Green'.
They featured 5-6 well known
bands. The concert capacity
was 64,000+ fans, and a LOT
of cannabis.
(Shh--wasn't legal)
I was there in 1980 watching
Santana and the Rolling Stones,
on Mick Jagger's birthday.
A plane flew overhead and
dropped several thousand
balloons on the crowd.
Glad you enjoyed this
wild performance.
when i was 9 or so, I'd see my dad on weekends. We'd go over to Rons house so I could play with his kids and Dad would smoke weed and listen to music with Ron. When Skynard played we all enjoyed it, but when Freebird played...it was madness. thanks for bringing a tear to an old man.
Hi sweet you! I saw them in concert. Great guitar solo!
I miss the wooden bleachers that you can see in some scenes of this video. Grew up near Oakland, been to that place thousands of times. Iconic. As for this band, nothing I say will wrap up how amazing they are.
The bird chirping sound is coming from Gary Rossington's slide guitar.
Rock and roll! Keep on rocking.
Now we're talking about southern fried rock from my neck of the country.. bring it on. Hope you enjoyed it. ❤ 🎶 👏 👏 👏
Give sweet home Alabama a listen if you enjoyed that...also give Stevie Ray Vaughan "Texas flood" a shot if haven't already. 😊
My 'neck' too. Alas, I had moved to Nashville a year or two earlier.
Ronnie Van Zant - vocals and leader of the band; Allen Collins - guitar; Gary Rossington - guitar; Steve Gaines - guitar; Artimus Pyle - drums; Leon Wilkeson - bass; Billy Powell - piano; Their last performance was USA South Carolina’s Greenville Memorial Auditorium on Oct. 19 1977 Free Bird lasted for 20 mins The next day boarded their plane that was unsafe the Fuel gauge was broke. The only way to check the fuel was with a stick. The plane ran out of fuel the engines were burning too rich and wasting precious fuel. One engine shut down then the other did. The plane went down over pine trees killing the members of the band, Ronnie Van Zant lead singer, guitarist Steve Gaines, and vocalist Cassie Gaines, that day was the saddest in Southern Rock. I was 20 when I heard about it on the radio. I cried like a baby. This is Sothern Rock, and we have a ton of them too.
right after Billy's piano solo she says I don't know how it can get any better...........oh it does! 🤣
The band is playing Souther Rock🤠
It sounds awesome! 🤠
Lynyrd Skynyrd was from the deep South - Jacksonville, Florida and they championed the 'Southern rock' sound which mixed country w/ rock music, debuting in 1973... They were also famous for their 3-guitar line-up that made them a live attraction on tour. The band named themselves after a high school teacher that they actually hated - Leonard Skinner 😂
Tragically, none of the original members are alive today and Lynyrd Skynyrd will be remembered for the tragic 1977 plane crash that killed their lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, one guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie Gaines, one of their backing singers... (They were in this clip) The other members seen here were - Allen Collins (guitar), Gary Rossington (slide guitar), Billy Powell (piano), Leon Wilkeson (bass) and Artimus Pyle (drums)... Only Artimus Pyle (ex-drummer) is alive today after surviving the plane crash. The others passed away in the years afterwards... Original members Bob Burns (drums) and Ed King (guitar) passed away and Gary Rossington, the last original member, passed away recently.
The classic Lynyrd Skynyrd w/ singer Ronnie Van Zant released 5 studio albums in the 70's and 1 live album 'One more from the road'... The live version of 'Freebird' is considered one of their greatest songs... Other classics include - 'Sweet home Alabama' ... 'That smell' ... 'Simple man' ... "What's your name" ... 'Gimme three steps'... 🔥
In 1987, an agreement was reached w/ Ronnie Van Zant's widow Judy (who owns the rights to the name Lynyrd Skynyrd) to reunite the band only if 3 original members r in the band to tour and record new music ... Ronnie's younger brother Johnny Van Zant joined as the new singer of Lynyrd Skynrd til today... Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson, Ed King and Artimus Pyle were all involved (Guitarist Allen Collins was paralyzed in a car accident and passed away in 1990)
However, more members left the band or passed away... but Lynyrd Skynyrd was still in demand because of their legacy of music, so new members were brought in to tour... Guitarist Gary Rossington passed away in 2023, being the only original member left alive til then and he had kept Lynyrd Skynyrd active. The band plans to continue touring w/ singer Johnny Van Zant, guitarist Ricky Medlocke and others.
Thank you for this post and all the details, it must of took some real research or you're a huge LS fan. Whichever, a huge thank you.
It's a shame that it all came to an end three months later. Just think of the music that we were cheated out of. R.I.P.
Yes Inna you should have been there at this concert. You had the same energy as the crowd. This is how we had fun in the 1970's no phones to distract us, no sun tan lotion for most of us. Glad you chose this version it caught the spirit of the crowd and you could see the band better in the sunlight than the live 1976 concert which sounded great but it was getting dark so you couldn't see as well. Only thing I'd change in this footage is to show more of the guitar solo. Oh and that was a rattlesnake skin around his hat. I grew up with plenty of rattlesnakes around my hometown of Medicine Hat.
He does it with a slide tapping on the strings
(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) is the debut studio album by American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on August 13, 1973, by MCA Records
Sadly, this is one of their last performances before the plane crash. Singer Ronnie Van Zant asks the question "if I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me?". Little did he know that the entire WORLD still remembers him almost 50 years later! Yes Ronnie. We definitely remember you! RIP Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Allen, Billy, Artimus, Leon, and Gary. You are all legends.
Artimus is still alive and living
The title of their first album was "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd"
That is the perfect example of kick-ass, southern rock and roll. Not my favorite song by them but it is my favorite video of them in concert. The energy is draining.
Lynard Skynard is one of a few very popular "Southern Rock" bands. This particular performance is a bit comical in the "Confederate" stage set. You recognized the Mount Rushmore image, but probably didn't notice that only the two "Southerners", George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were included. It's my understanding that the band was not aware of what the stage set would be before the concert. Another "southern Rock" favorite is the Allman Brothers band.
That concert was about 3 months before the plane crash… I seen them 3 times before that horrible day that some of them died. So any Lynyrd Skynyrd songs 1977 or earlier is from this band. There is a modern day Lynyrd Skynyrd band that the lead singer is the younger brother of the one that passed in the plane crash. He has been singing about 35 years and they are touring with ZZ Top and I just seen them a couple of weeks ago.
Wow !! is right !!
That's the "chirpy bird" sound you can produce while playing guitar with a slide. I believe it was pioneered by Duane Allman, and became a staple. Because it's fun to do!
fun fact: Gary replaced the b string on this SG with a second g string- just for the slide part in this song. That way, he could cock the slide a bit, and get that signature sound you hear in the slide parts. If you'd seen them before, you knew what was coming when you saw Gary pick up that red guitar, lol. He normally played a Les Paul.
If you like this, check them out in 1976 at Knebworth Faire, in England. Opening for the Rolling Stones in front of a crowd of 350,000 or so people. They were on FIRE. I'd recommend their covers of Gimme a T for Texas, (If you want to see what Steve could do!) and/or Crossroads.
God, the 70’s were such an amazing time to be alive. Everything was better, especially humans. Looking at the young people in the crowd with no phones and just wrapping their arms around strangers brings me warm memories. The song is mainly about what it means to fly free and for me (and for people who grew up in those days), this takes us back to such a great time where today’s generations will never know what it was like to grow up before all the BS that social media and the internet took over and has divided us. Free Bird will forever be my favorite song. Fly high Lynyrd Skynyrd! ❤
Bird sound was made by Gary on red guitar with an old empty corasidan asperin bottle scraped on the the strings .
The guy you like in the background, plays the violin in song, Dust In The Wind.
I commented on your Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin reactions about why I miss the 70's.
Classic Rock of the 60's and 70's set the standard
This is literally the day I was born, Saturday, July 2nd, 1977, in Southern California...I'm turning 47 on July 2nd, 2024...
This show in Oakland is Northern California.....
Allan Collins in all white playing his famous 1958 Gibson Explorer.
Love your reaction to this anthem. It's a genre we call Southern Rock! Yes it was weed! There was a lot of weed smoking at rock concerts back in the day!
I got a chance to see a group called the Outlaws live - similar type of music. The energy from their live version of Green Grass and High Tides has a similar vibe. There is a live version "Outlaws - Green Grass And High Tides - 11/10/1978 - Capitol Theatre" that I would recommend checking out - but be warned, it's 23+ minutes!!! :)
Best Southern Band ever .
Millions of Allman Brothers fans may disagree.
A truly great epic song. Excellent musicianship. This was the summer after I graduated from college, and although I was not a huge fan, there's no question that this song is in a league of its own. I do have to question the Confederate flag at the back of the stage. That wouldn't be there today.
They were my first concert in April of 1977 Nazareth opened for them. I had just turned 17.
Check out any of the songs off Charlie Daniels band fire on the mountain album... Charlie had long hair and played southern rock back then.. especially the "South's gonna do it again" a song about all of the bands that are playing southern rock down south... Grinder switch.. Marshall Tucker band.. Lynyrd Skynyrd The Allman Brothers.. wet Willie.. Elvin Bishop group.. ZZ top... Jerry Reed and of course CDB. Ol ''Charley Daniels band.
It IS a concert. 1977 at Oakland Stadium in Oakland, CA. I think Peter Frampton opened for them, Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced lenerd skinerd) free bird was their last song of the concert.
I was there, The Outlaws opened the show, followed by Santana, then Lynyrd Skynyrd, and finally Peter Frampton.
Great reaction, for a fast number from start to finish listen to "Call Me The Breeze", and for a beautiful sounding ballad try "Tuesday's Gone ", these are probably my 2 favorite songs from Skynyrd.
