Seen em when I was 17. The concert was in August. Two months later.....fuck. Street Survivors came out I was like what the fuck. I still have two unopened of the album with the original version with the flames
Rest in Peace, Gary Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Larry Junstrom, Bob Burns, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell, Ed King, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines. Gone but not forgotten.
@@russellnorby3426 I'm a 1960 born kinda guy. It wasn't just the bands. It was the right bands for the time. The time in the world and the time in our lives. Even in rural America. I always have said the 70s were dangerous. The cars were to fast for the time, too many excesses and the laws were too leniant. It's a wonder many of us survived. These bands and songs are something we won't ever forget.
1 year anniversary of Gary’s passing and I find myself here reading comments from strangers… I don’t know why I feel so connected to this band and these songs but I couldn’t imagine my life with them and I obviously am not the only to feel this way… Long live the Lynyrd skynyrd band! ❤🦅💔
It's crazy how fucking good southern rock was in the 70s... I'm 29 and love this era of music so much, wish I grew up in this era without cell phones and social media.
You would have been drafted, by Richard Nixon, in the 70's. It wasn't fun - and you might have had to drive hours to see Skynard, but the ticket would have cost $3.00
Unlike the version on One From The Road this is an unproduced, raw recording that shows precisely how utterly brilliant this band were as live performers. They needed no mixing, no editing. no production. This is Lynyrd Skynyd in the flesh. It's a historical record. This is real. This is soul. If it doesn't hit you in the heart then check your pulse.
I know what you are trying to say but I assure you they would have had all of that and more, it is just impossible to do such a live performance without good mixing and a solid production.. it was bands like this that invented and perfected all that stuff 👍
@@marksmusicCCNo. Look into it, they practiced over and over and over. By the time they played it live or studio it was as second nature as walking. Thank Ronnie for that. If you want more details backing that up just let me know. Your comment is just a guess and something true of other bands. I’d like to see if you know who has the copy of all Ronnie’s lyrics.
@@NSBlack_Stallion Er no I am not guessing believe me, 50 years as a musician you do learn a thing or two.. of course they practiced over and over, it is a rather common thing for musicians to do actually... What I am saying is that you can not put on a show in front of 1000s of people without mixing, a solid production and a lot of sound engineering.. Without any of that they would sound like shit. They are not playing in the backyard or in some garage.. Do you really think they just walk onto the stage with a 50 watt Marshal and jam away LMAO
If you don’t feel Tuesday’s Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd deep in your Soul, you don’t know great music and a band/music that will always be with us, all of the true fans!! Peace and Blessings to All!!! 💙🎶💯🙏🕊️💙
I mean it's a great, beautiful song but it doesn't sound "fresh" whatsoever. Which is to say it doesn't really sound like anything in at least the last 30 years. I don't know by what definition this sound (blues-tinged southern rock) would be considered 'fresh'.
What these guys did in such a few short years is incredible! There is nothing like them. Organic, pure and beyond their years. An American treasure. I don't have the words to describe Lynyrd Skynrd's greatness.
FACTS BUBBAROOSKIE!!!! I tell these cats that all the time, and they had three bad ass lead guitarist who did it mind sharing, and I don’t think another band that has attempted that with straight talent and no stupid faces when jammin!!! I’m just a drummer talking!!! Floridian true Floridian loving the best man ever
I played that at my sisters funeral..she made me promise..so I did..I told her if I went 1st to promise to play sweet-smelling alabama..When my oldest brother died I wanted to play feebird for him but they didn't play it at funeral.i knew he was in heaven ..Me and my sister pulled out from the church to go up the mountain to graveyard and low and behold when we got behind the horse carrying my order brother ..Freebird came on radio .I sware Gods honest truth..all the way up the mountain me and my sister and brother were together one last time..Rip.Staney , Tootie Liz and Becky..I love yall..😢😢
My Lord does Gary Rossington make that Les Paul sound so beautiful also Billy Powell on the piano and organ … to die for my goodness. The whole entire band was top tier . RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd and all the members of this absolutely astonishing band .
Amazing that you wrote that. I watched this again and thought the exact same thing about Gary and Billy and then scrolled down the comments and saw your post. This is one of my favorite songs of all time...it's a masterpiece.
Gary is such a underrated guitarist, writing some of the most iconic and most memorable riffs and slide notes in music history, Gary Rossington is truly the last rebel and there will never be another like him. Long Live the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band!!!
As great as Allen Collins played it was sad he became paralyzed in a car wreck and couldn't ever play again. That had to work on his mind. His Free bird solo at Knebworth Festival 1976 is unmatched
My favorite song! I told my son to listen to the words. He was blown away. Unfortunately he took his life at 30 and I play this for him every day. Miss & love you .ERIC BAILEY 💔💔☮️
Yes indeed.. back when without the internet. What's here & now..over indulgence, greed, envy, no empathy for others & social platforms where people think they can have meaningful relationships without leaving home. Yep..those were the best days in this mad mixed up world. T. C Now. 😎
Here on the day of Mr Gary Rossingtons passing. Lost an absolute legend today. Feels like losing a family member. Thank you for everything Gary. Now go rest in rock and roll heaven with your brothers
The greatest southern band of all time in my opinion. They were incredible and a group of of special people who made magic when they were together. They made my soul sing with the songs they wrote and performed. I will always love them and God may rest their souls. Amen ❤😢
Second in my book. I would give the nod to the Allman Brothers when Duane was still alive. The Mountain Jam from Eat a Peach is epic, as is Elizabeth Reed.
Allman brothers were awesome!!!…but there song book pales in comparison to what skynyrd put out in 4 years. Just sayin! Plus add the test of time…skynyrd gets ten times the airplay today over the Allman bothers. And to add some more fuel, I think the greatest southern rock “song” of all time is can’t you see by MTB!!
@@Jjackattack I agree with you, in everything. I would add that making the comparison between Allmann BB and Lynyrd remains very difficult.. Almann BB were closer to jazz (original lineup) and Lynyrd to rock and country.. while retaining a southern approach.. both. They wrote and played the memorable pieces in a virtuoso and heartfelt manner... I've been listening to them since 1980... both, but in some ways I have to admit that Lynyrd ultimately remained fresher and more time-tested.
@@niftylights3The Allman Brothers were Blues with Southern Rock. Duane Allman was stated, by Eric Clapton, as the Best Guitarist. Dickie Betts replaced Duane & one of the best Guitarist, & research the RUclips Song “Mellisa” Acoustic with Gregg Allman & Dickie Betts. Lynyrd Skynyrd was Southern Rock & Roll & with the best back up singers of all times, with little recognition. I grew up with both bands in the 70’s & the best Music ever! Difficult to rate who is the Best, because they both were & are the best, in my opinion.
"If you want to know who Ronnie Van Zant was, just take the lyrics of any six songs that he wrote and you got Ronnie." - I heard that quote in the Rockumentary on the band and it rang true. He was one of Rock's great and underappreciated songwriters. All of his words and lyrics carried a powerful, but simple message. Rock In Peace - Ronnie, Steve, Cassie and the rest of the band.
💯 Agreed! Ronnie Van Zant was a musical genius. It's absolutely mind blowing to think about what he would have done had it not been for the horrible accident. 😭 Best damn southern rock and roll band ever. RIP LS.💙
@@bolivingston1400 I probably heard him say it in the rockumentary. Credit belongs to Ed. The real tragedy of Ronnie's death is the future loss of great music and lyrics that the band was about to produce. The Street Survivors lp is their best work and Ronnie and Gaines were going to be a great team of songwriters. They only scratched the surface.
if you dont get emotional listening to this then your dead on the inside, this band would have ruled the world if that terrible crash hadn't happened, skynyrd were peerless in my eyes, head and shoulders above other American bands, only the Allman brothers come close.
RVZ AND THE BOYS,NEVER EVER WILL BE TOPPED! HE HAD THE VISION AND THE DRIVE TO WORK UNTIL IT WAS RIGHT! TRUE SOUTHERN GRIT !!! N AND MOST OF THE GUYS KNEW IT AND RESPECTED IT , THE OTHERS HE STRAIGHTENED OUT QUICK !!!
I am currently 17 years old and this is the greatest music I will ever listen to in my life. My parents taught me the lyrics to "All I can do is write about it" and "the ballad of Curtis Loew" as soon as I could speak. Im glad I was raised in a classic rock house because I do not go a day without throwing on a Skynyrd record! We shouldn't generalize my generation just because our computer generated garbage music is popular, because I know a few people like myself who still appreciate this art.
+sam dorfman I'm soon to be 21 and I'm right there with you pal. Classic Rock is what I jam to. None of my music library consists of the pop crap that so many from our generation are in to...
Ronnie Van Zant was a song writer of the highest order. And he sang this song with such soul and authenticity that it's almost impossible to listen to anyone else sing it.
At 77, it still just gets me, flashback memories, good and bad, a life well lived, like the fellow Bill Borden said of his life……”No reserve, No retreat, No regrets!”.
I was at this show.I was one week shy of sixteen.Im sixty two now and I appreciate Skynard more now than I did then.Ive been to many,many concerts and seen alot of different artist and bands play.Ronnie and the boys are the only band that sounds the same live as they sound on the radio.R.I.P. Ronnie!Southern rock Hall of Fame starts with you!
I was there too . Winterland was my second home. I was almost 20 when we went to this show. I saw them a couple times . I miss those days there were great concerts every weekend and cheap. A day on the Green In Oakland I saw them and tickets were $5.00. There were 4 or 5 bands and that lasted all day into the night.
I am 68 years old sitting on my back porch at 3am . Feeling no pain. This is one of my favorite songs! Beer and Mary Jane and coke that you drink helps out. Love this song. Do not show this to my old Lady!
I'm 64 still smoking weed drinking Budweiser and listening to Skynyrd and remembering the concerts of the early seventies I got to see Skynyrd, Foghat ,The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Black Oak Arkansas, Supertramp, Wishbone Ash, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, AC / DC, Michael Murphy, The Hombres, they had one hit Let it all hang out . A girl I knew from my neighborhood gave me and a friend of mine backstage passes to Earth Wind & Fire I saw them all live for less than $20 Good Times.
I absolutely love all of Lynyrd Skynyrd music. The best band ever. If you can not feel this real speech and the true words in all the music, I don't know what to tell you.
Well, we could just call the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker & Skynyrd the Holy Trinity and leave it at that, my brother. We're all the winners in this contest.
Deep song, I had this song played at my husbands funeral. John died by suicide and he always told me play these Lynyrd Skynyrd Originals at my funeral. It was most beautiful tribute I could give him in death. Thankyou, to Lynyrd Skynyrd Originals for the music that I still listen to many years later and when I do I always get tears in my eyes still...
@@marcogallardo9897 The memories are always with me regardless of what songs I listen too. This is a deep and beautiful song. I'll always listen to all of Lynyrd Skynyrd Originals music. My favorite band.
Lynrd skynrd has always touched my life, I was born in 71 and I grew up listening to the greatest era of music, my parents use to blast lynrd skynrd in our house and mom and dad would dance, their music is so unique and has so much weight and depth in the lyrics, the superb musicianship. Lynrd skynrd were the greatest band ever and accomplished so much in their short time here.
@@brianlovi9515 you're absolutely correct, music from our era was the most raw talent and most unique music ever to me, Fleetwood Mac, doobie brothers, steely Dan, the eagles, bad company and so many more, there will never be music created like this again.
The sad thing in the turbulent times that we are in 2022 no song writers or bands can reflect the angst of our beautiful country. Rest in peace and my train is rolling on....and on....
My name is Tuesday. My father would play this all the time on our old property, it always made me somewhat emotional that someone made this. This’ll always have a big nostalgic toll on me, I’m grateful for this song man.
Man, they sure had the whole package. Nobody drug their feet in this band. Ronnie saw to that. I've never heard a ho-hum song come out of Skynryd. The chemistry & charisma they had in southern rock can't be duplicated.
I am 21 and asian....I really do love 70's 80's 90's and all my friend listen to today's shit they all tell me why do you listen to old ones I simply reply them because they have soul and I was born in wrong country and wrong generation....but thanks to the modern technology I m able hear this classic you people are lucky to witness the greats especially old ones....the first time I heard lynyrd skynyrd from that day my life is not same ....great music
Songs like this dont even exist anymore, thank God for all the amzing concert footage we will always be able to experience what life is really all about. This song in particular, and many others actually brings me to a certain kind of religious experience when I close my eyes and let the words and melody was over me. In my mind's eye I am remembering all my loved ones who have passed on. Lynyrd has that kind of power, witness! Simple Man takes me there as well.
I was one to be counted among the lucky to have seen Lynyrd Skynyrd live in their heyday. They knew how to rock it, great lyrics, great music. They didn't need to put on costumes, make-up, and dance around the stage. They entertained their audience simply by playing the best music this country had to offer at that time. The Allman Brothers were my first musical love and remain my favorite group, but Skynyrd played 2nd fiddle to no-one. They were the real deal. Although Ronnie didn't play an instrument, his loss was a devastating one, as he was an excellent song writer, composer, singer, and the defacto leader of LS. His loss was comparable to the loss of Duane for the Allman Brothers, and to the music world in general. Certain people simply can not be replaced. LS was as was many great bands were, the collective being so much greater than the individual pieces added separately. All we can do is enjoy the music they created, and be eternally grateful for it. I challenge any male to listen to Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama and not feel a rush of adrenaline come over them, to drive and not feel the urge to depress your foot on the accelerator pedal, or to want to kick ass.
You know in the years before Lynyrd Skynyrd I used to refer to the Allman Brothers as the boys. However, by 1976 it was Lynyrd Skynyrd. Lordy I do miss all the boys. Classics like this featuring Billy, Gary and Ronnie front and center are hard not to listen to. God Bless you boys. They are all gone with the wind.
No one can even begin to imagine the collective shock and heartbreak felt in Jacksonville Fl, home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, on Oct 20th 1977 It was as if time stood still and all other news of the day quickly became insignificant. We felt that they belonged to us, although they belonged to the world and music lovers everywhere. In some ways, it's still 1977 around here and we have kept their memory alive and always will as long as there is LS music to be loved, revered and enjoyed.
Jennifer I'm turning 40 and this I was introduced to this band songs at age 15 and still loved there music 🎵🎶 they sound like a band now that's how good they sing and better than the new bands that are coming out
The 70s had the best drugs muscle cars, best music of any generation. And we all got along. No weird ass drugs or EDM ugh tht electronic music is souless
There are alot of Southern Rock Bands Skynard Molly Hatchet Outlaws Charlie Danials 38 Special the list goes on and on and on ! Those Southern boys can lay down some ASS KICKING RIFFS , now lets " ROCK & ROLL
I love all their things, saw them in 1976, in Milwaukee. I turned 69 in July and still rocking. Next to LS, my second favorite band is AC/DC. So many great bands came from the 60’s and 70’s. Keep on rockin’!
Nothing short of hard assed working young men, caught up with one of the most musical souls (Ronnie Van Sant) this world has ever known, or likely ever will. They say, Ronnie never wrote down the words to his songs he wrote and sang with this amazing group, which just boggles the mind.......What a blessing Skynyrd is to the World. GodSpeed y'all...RIP Freebird...
One of the greatest of my lifetime🤘 Godspeed to them all & to all you that love this band.... it was a wonderful heartbreaking and beautiful time to be alive
@@mistymiller-vz1tr some it helps with aches or life's regrets, or sleep. It won't kill ya. Sorry to hear your younger years were so hard. You have a kind heart to forgive him. God Bless 🕊️
Happy birthday man. That's such an amazing experience I'd give the world to have seen them . Nothing like skynyrd before and there'll never be anything like em again
Ronnie Van Zant was the genius to Skynyrd along with Alan Collins the best guitar player in the world. Ronnie was an everyday down south simple man and wrote songs about everyday life. I grew up during this groups time and never got to see them live.
Born in 1988 Florida, no surprise I grew up listening to these guys and remember my dad taking about their legacy ten years after the accident. My dad was an aircraft mechanic coincidentally and would always be happy to share the fuel mistakes made that “took one of the greatest bands ever”.
I wish i had friend's like Yours. To leave everything behind and listen to our favourite music. But reality is just sad and no one is treating music like me, damn.. like something spiritual, something you can't live without..
One of the very best songs by Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Brings all kinds of emotions…If this music doesn’t bring you back to those times of long ago and feel something deep then you don’t know great music!! RIP to all the awesome band members that have left us and passed on!! Soulful voice of Ronnie, guitar playing by Gary and keyboard and drumming at its best!!! Get goose bumps listening to this song, Free Bird and Simple Man!!! GOD Speed!!!!!🙏💙🎶💙🙏
According to the thumbnail, this was taped on Sunday, March 7th, 1976. That was 3 days after I was born. I was born on Thursday, March 4th, 1976. My aunts and uncles loved this band, may God rest all of their souls( the band members gone too soon as well as my aunts and uncles gone too soon)❤😢❤
Man.... in 2024, we are still listening... tells what a great band they were...after plane crash, johnnt stepped up and kept band going. i feel his pain back then... glad he did .. is great!!!! 3rd brother is partn of 38 special

Amazing that you wrote that. I watched this again and thought the exact same thing about Gary and Billy and then scrolled down the comments and saw your post. This is one of my favorite songs of all time...it's a masterpiece.
You said it 👍💯 I just wish we saw more of Billy playing 💖
Billie was a Soul Playin Madman 🤩👏👌👍
Gary is such a underrated guitarist, writing some of the most iconic and most memorable riffs and slide notes in music history, Gary Rossington is truly the last rebel and there will never be another like him. Long Live the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band!!!
As great as Allen Collins played it was sad he became paralyzed in a car wreck and couldn't ever play again. That had to work on his mind. His Free bird solo at Knebworth Festival 1976 is unmatched
My favorite song! I told my son to listen to the words. He was blown away. Unfortunately he took his life at 30 and I play this for him every day. Miss & love you .ERIC BAILEY 💔💔☮️
Good luck molly
So sorry for your loss:(
I'm sorry he's at peace now

Here on the day of Mr Gary Rossingtons passing. Lost an absolute legend today. Feels like losing a family member. Thank you for everything Gary. Now go rest in rock and roll heaven with your brothers
Doesn't it though these guys have been a part of my life all my life and always will be
Is it just me, or does every opening riff from these guys just grabs you by your souls and you HAVE to listen. Every time you hear it
The way that Gary Rossington makes that Les Paul " Sing " is MAGICAL ✌️✌️✌️
I don't think it's just you. I feel that way too
Every single time
Yep, Absolutely!!
No sir, you are absolutely correct! If this song doesn't bring a tear to your eye, then your soul is deficient.
The greatest southern band of all time in my opinion. They were incredible and a group of of special people who made magic when they were together. They made my soul sing with the songs they wrote and performed. I will always love them and God may rest their souls. Amen ❤😢
Second in my book. I would give the nod to the Allman Brothers when Duane was still alive. The Mountain Jam from Eat a Peach is epic, as is Elizabeth Reed.
Allman brothers were awesome!!!…but there song book pales in comparison to what skynyrd put out in 4 years. Just sayin! Plus add the test of time…skynyrd gets ten times the airplay today over the Allman bothers. And to add some more fuel, I think the greatest southern rock “song” of all time is can’t you see by MTB!!
@@Jjackattack I agree with you, in everything. I would add that making the comparison between Allmann BB and Lynyrd remains very difficult.. Almann BB were closer to jazz (original lineup) and Lynyrd to rock and country.. while retaining a southern approach.. both. They wrote and played the memorable pieces in a virtuoso and heartfelt manner... I've been listening to them since 1980... both, but in some ways I have to admit that Lynyrd ultimately remained fresher and more time-tested.
@@niftylights3The Allman Brothers were Blues with Southern Rock. Duane Allman was stated, by Eric Clapton, as the Best Guitarist. Dickie Betts replaced Duane & one of the best Guitarist, & research the RUclips Song “Mellisa” Acoustic with Gregg Allman & Dickie Betts. Lynyrd Skynyrd was Southern Rock & Roll & with the best back up singers of all times, with little recognition.
I grew up with both bands in the 70’s & the best Music ever! Difficult to rate who is the Best, because they both were & are the best, in my opinion.
@@foxfakenews3293I remember when the Album “Eat a Peach” was released & I bought the album. I agree with you about Duane.
"If you want to know who Ronnie Van Zant was, just take the lyrics of any six songs that he wrote and you got Ronnie." - I heard that quote in the Rockumentary on the band and it rang true. He was one of Rock's great and underappreciated songwriters. All of his words and lyrics carried a powerful, but simple message. Rock In Peace - Ronnie, Steve, Cassie and the rest of the band.
Although Johnny eventually carried the music on and did an admirable job, it wasn’t the same.
p£££
💯 Agreed! Ronnie Van Zant was a musical genius. It's absolutely mind blowing to think about what he would have done had it not been for the horrible accident. 😭 Best damn southern rock and roll band ever. RIP LS.💙
@@bolivingston1400 I probably heard him say it in the rockumentary. Credit belongs to Ed.
The real tragedy of Ronnie's death is the future loss of great music and lyrics that the band was about to produce. The Street Survivors lp is their best work and Ronnie and Gaines were going to be a great team of songwriters. They only scratched the surface.
Rockumentary? Is that a RUclips channel, or what? TIA
if you dont get emotional listening to this then your dead on the inside, this band would have ruled the world if that terrible crash hadn't happened, skynyrd were peerless in my eyes, head and shoulders above other American bands, only the Allman brothers come close.
My son I law took me to see Bob Segar I think it was new years we had floor seats back I had a great time nice memory 💜 ♥️ ❤️

Oh yes you are so right this song is so powerful if you know how to take it deep down in your soul
Today's music is barely called music.So i'm gonna agree with you.No matter i grow up on 21th century with all these crap around me
RVZ AND THE BOYS,NEVER EVER WILL BE TOPPED! HE HAD THE VISION AND THE DRIVE TO WORK UNTIL IT WAS RIGHT! TRUE SOUTHERN GRIT !!! N AND MOST OF THE GUYS KNEW IT AND RESPECTED IT , THE OTHERS HE STRAIGHTENED OUT QUICK !!!
I am currently 17 years old and this is the greatest music I will ever listen to in my life. My parents taught me the lyrics to "All I can do is write about it" and "the ballad of Curtis Loew" as soon as I could speak. Im glad I was raised in a classic rock house because I do not go a day without throwing on a Skynyrd record! We shouldn't generalize my generation just because our computer generated garbage music is popular, because I know a few people like myself who still appreciate this art.
+sam dorfman I'm soon to be 21 and I'm right there with you pal. Classic Rock is what I jam to. None of my music library consists of the pop crap that so many from our generation are in to...
im 15 and i love this music so there is nothing wrong with it
+sam dorfman Your a great dude and i bet the women love u !!
+sam dorfman you should try some blackberry smoke sam. From a 40 odd year southern rock fan, they carry the torch.
+sam dorfman Same story with me pal
Ronnie Van Zant was a song writer of the highest order. And he sang this song with such soul and authenticity that it's almost impossible to listen to anyone else sing it.
Films like this should be forever preserved in the Rock n Roll hall of fame archives.
Winterville concert and much of their body of work should be in the Library of Congress,
you know what, Billy Powell could play that piano like a magician. What a fantastic band. Each and every one of them.
He was their roadie! Talented band
True PROFESSIONALS ! I miss them !
this song does hurt so bad badger 16
wasn't he a roadie and they discovered that he was a classical concert pianist?....
Let’s give grace to Gary Rossington. Dead at 71. One of the old time bands. Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
🤘
At 77, it still just gets me, flashback memories, good and bad, a life well lived, like the fellow Bill Borden said of his life……”No reserve, No retreat, No regrets!”.
im 21 and making the same life memories you once lived. This song truly is timeless.
So u still be listening right up to when you reach old age mate. Them were mighty fine days well worth remembering. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I hope it was a damn good ride, Dave. Keep on riding, with this great song playing in the background.
Man Billy Powell was a great keyboardist, and Gary Rossington was the core of so many of their great songs.
R.I.P Gary Rossington
May he rest in peace
@@lisachauvin Hope they are all jamming again up there ❤️🎵🎸
That’s an understatement

I was at this show.I was one week shy of sixteen.Im sixty two now and I appreciate Skynard more now than I did then.Ive been to many,many concerts and seen alot of different artist and bands play.Ronnie and the boys are the only band that sounds the same live as they sound on the radio.R.I.P. Ronnie!Southern rock Hall of Fame starts with you!
Been listening to this since I was 12 ,now in 58 and it's still very powerful. Love you guys 💖
One of greatest Rock bands in the world.
My favorite ever.
I've been listening to their music for over 40 years from Korea.
I was there too . Winterland was my second home. I was almost 20 when we went to this show. I saw them a couple times . I miss those days there were great concerts every weekend and cheap. A day on the Green In Oakland I saw them and tickets were $5.00. There were 4 or 5 bands and that lasted all day into the night.
Wow !
❤
I am 68 years old sitting on my back porch at 3am . Feeling no pain. This is one of my favorite songs! Beer and Mary Jane and coke that you drink helps out. Love this song. Do not show this to my old Lady!

Why not?
@@lindsaycall6826 33 doing the same. Thanks brother, glad it's not just me.
I'm 64 still smoking weed drinking Budweiser and listening to Skynyrd and remembering the concerts of the early seventies I got to see Skynyrd, Foghat ,The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Black Oak Arkansas, Supertramp, Wishbone Ash, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, AC / DC, Michael Murphy, The Hombres, they had one hit Let it all hang out . A girl I knew from my neighborhood gave me and a friend of mine backstage passes to Earth Wind & Fire I saw them all live for less than $20 Good Times.
change nothing sir.......toke it up!
I absolutely love all of Lynyrd Skynyrd music. The best band ever. If you can not feel this real speech and the true words in all the music, I don't know what to tell you.
THE BEST ROCK BAND EVER COME FROM USA'S SOUTH. CAN EVERYONE AGREE TO THAT?
I would say they tie with The Allman Brothers!
long live dixie land my friend much love to ya
It dont get any better
1000% every day!!!!
Well, we could just call the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker & Skynyrd the Holy Trinity and leave it at that, my brother. We're all the winners in this contest.

Deep song, I had this song played at my husbands funeral. John died by suicide and he always told me play these Lynyrd Skynyrd Originals at my funeral. It was most beautiful tribute I could give him in death. Thankyou, to Lynyrd Skynyrd Originals for the music that I still listen to many years later and when I do I always get tears in my eyes still...
I'm sorry for your loss and the demons John was fighting. What a beautiful way to remember him. Blessings to you Kelly. Wish you the best.
@@njaneardude Thankyou very much. I wish John was still here. All I could do was love him. I always will.

Oh man I’m sorry to hear this! I hope your alright! God bless you!
Lynrd skynrd has always touched my life, I was born in 71 and I grew up listening to the greatest era of music, my parents use to blast lynrd skynrd in our house and mom and dad would dance, their music is so unique and has so much weight and depth in the lyrics, the superb musicianship. Lynrd skynrd were the greatest band ever and accomplished so much in their short time here.
1968 born for me...youngters today truly have no damn clue what kind of UNBELIEVABLE music you and I and our generation grew up with!!!
@@brianlovi9515 you're absolutely correct, music from our era was the most raw talent and most unique music ever to me, Fleetwood Mac, doobie brothers, steely Dan, the eagles, bad company and so many more, there will never be music created like this again.
65...and agree wholeheartedly
@@brianlovi9515 agreed!
The sad thing in the turbulent times that we are in 2022 no song writers or bands can reflect the angst of our beautiful country. Rest in peace and my train is rolling on....and on....
My name is Tuesday. My father would play this all the time on our old property, it always made me somewhat emotional that someone made this. This’ll always have a big nostalgic toll on me, I’m grateful for this song man.
Fellow Tuesday here. My dad named me after this song and it always hits hard.
@@Daytue that’s so badass, Happy there’s at least another Tuesday out there Lmao😭😭
Man, they sure had the whole package. Nobody drug their feet in this band. Ronnie saw to that. I've never heard a ho-hum song come out of Skynryd. The chemistry & charisma they had in southern rock can't be duplicated.
I am 21 and asian....I really do love 70's 80's 90's and all my friend listen to today's shit they all tell me why do you listen to old ones I simply reply them because they have soul and I was born in wrong country and wrong generation....but thanks to the modern technology I m able hear this classic you people are lucky to witness the greats especially old ones....the first time I heard lynyrd skynyrd from that day my life is not same ....great music
Thank u so much Rupak! And welcome of us old peoples world. :)

Be yourself and keep it up , man !
Bob Dobalina were not old we are seasoned!!!! Everyday here in The USA is a great day!!!!
If Ronnie was alive today, he would have written what you wrote into a song.
No one and I mean NO ONE sings this song like Ronnie, just superb
Of course no one sings it like Ronny Van Zant. He is the lead singer for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
@@jdog081290 was. Now his Brother Johnny is.
I appreciate what little brother has done over the years but hes not remotely close to Ronnie, I'm pretty sure hed be the first to admit that also
@@antrcapo ...Hell I try to mimic the best of em when I play. But... Nobody can sound like Ronnie. Mine isn't bad. But it's Skynyrd.
MrMrfreedom1 who dat
Songs like this dont even exist anymore, thank God for all the amzing concert footage we will always be able to experience what life is really all about. This song in particular, and many others actually brings me to a certain kind of religious experience when I close my eyes and let the words and melody was over me. In my mind's eye I am remembering all my loved ones who have passed on. Lynyrd has that kind of power, witness! Simple Man takes me there as well.
Yeah, this and Simple Man are just brilliant, two of their best.
I was one to be counted among the lucky to have seen Lynyrd Skynyrd live in their heyday. They knew how to rock it, great lyrics, great music. They didn't need to put on costumes, make-up, and dance around the stage. They entertained their audience simply by playing the best music this country had to offer at that time. The Allman Brothers were my first musical love and remain my favorite group, but Skynyrd played 2nd fiddle to no-one. They were the real deal. Although Ronnie didn't play an instrument, his loss was a devastating one, as he was an excellent song writer, composer, singer, and the defacto leader of LS. His loss was comparable to the loss of Duane for the Allman Brothers, and to the music world in general. Certain people simply can not be replaced. LS was as was many great bands were, the collective being so much greater than the individual pieces added separately. All we can do is enjoy the music they created, and be eternally grateful for it. I challenge any male to listen to Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama and not feel a rush of adrenaline come over them, to drive and not feel the urge to depress your foot on the accelerator pedal, or to want to kick ass.
nope, Rock and Roll is dead at the moment. i hope it is revived soon.
Me too seen the ALLMAN bROTHERS a couple of times live but never had the chance to see Skynyrd,miss Dicky.
Neil Young said it best,"Hey.Hey,My,My,Rock'n'Roll will never die.
You know in the years before Lynyrd Skynyrd I used to refer to the Allman Brothers as the boys. However, by 1976 it was Lynyrd Skynyrd. Lordy I do miss all the boys. Classics like this featuring Billy, Gary and Ronnie front and center are hard not to listen to. God Bless you boys. They are all gone with the wind.
This music hits your soul makes you feel alive but also makes you miss yesterday
For SURE I'm missing yesterday! Sadly, yesterday is also gone with the wind!
This was my dad's favorite song, may you RIP dad🙏✌💜😊🐾
Gary Rossington one of the most underrated guitar player ever. Awesome player and Allen Collins

No one can even begin to imagine the collective shock and heartbreak felt in Jacksonville Fl, home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, on Oct 20th 1977 It was as if time stood still and all other news of the day quickly became insignificant. We felt that they belonged to us, although they belonged to the world and music lovers everywhere. In some ways, it's still 1977 around here and we have kept their memory alive and always will as long as there is LS music to be loved, revered and enjoyed.
Julia S the. best. band .ever. Jacksonville. fla
From Jacksonville too. I graduated the year before and everyone i knew was crying that day. We lost the gift of their music that day. 😭😭😭😭😭

I feel you 🌹
Rock on my friend!!
We do not have to worry about the South rising again,as it never fell.The heart,soul,and spirit of the South lives on with Skynard and Southern rock.
If they were around today in their prime they would still be massive, music from the soul never goes out of style.
Nothing short of hard assed working young men, caught up with one of the most musical souls (Ronnie Van Sant) this world has ever known, or likely ever will. They say, Ronnie never wrote down the words to his songs he wrote and sang with this amazing group, which just boggles the mind.......What a blessing Skynyrd is to the World.

Ronnie Van Zant was the genius to Skynyrd along with Alan Collins the best guitar player in the world. Ronnie was an everyday down south simple man and wrote songs about everyday life. I grew up during this groups time and never got to see them live.
Ain't hiding from nobody; ain't nobody is hiding from me.
Stevie Gaines was a legend!!
I saw them at JFK a couple months before they died
@unfortunate son completely nothing to it any more they are just carrying on a name.
I was honored to see them live with 38 special in Myrtle Beach SC before the plane crash
Born in 1988 Florida, no surprise I grew up listening to these guys and remember my dad taking about their legacy ten years after the accident. My dad was an aircraft mechanic coincidentally and would always be happy to share the fuel mistakes made that “took one of the greatest bands ever”.
I remember skipping high school one day with a few buddies. Drove around in his barracuda, smoking pot and listening to this on 8 track. Good times.
Same (except it was an El Camino)
