Yesterday made 47 years since we lost some great people. We had a great time at the memorial celebrating the lives of all 6 that we lost and all 20 survivors. We love them all.
@@BillBondsHasAPosse I love ❤ both bands! I would have loved 😍 to see them both in Concert at the same time! What a cool 😎 thing that would have been. Sadly 😥 I never even saw either 😔. I was on a different trip in the 60s & 70s. So much I missed just being stoned and listening to completely different bands. Looking back only memories last.

@@garyrossingtonfan1833 Neither was “better”. The were different and both were brilliant. Deep respect for each other. Ronnie said it better than I ever could “Play it for Duane Allman”.
Those Southern Rock bands usually kicked ass live! The Allman Brothers Band were known for great live performances! And Charlie Daniels ran a tight ship! Nothing but your best was acceptable!
Better than studio, you can feel the raw power behind each band member with this song. The opening riffs sent goosebumps up half the spines in that unsuspecting audience
@@mr.d8214I got pronounced when I was a little kid of 7 back in 73. My pops was a DJ and he liked them and brought the album home. I instantly fell in love with that whole album. Being from Florida I didn’t realize we lived right down the road from Ronnie.
Ronnie van Zant : Vocals Gary Rossington : Guitar Billy Powell : piano Allen Collins : Guitar Steve Gaines : Guitar Artimus Pyle: Drums Leon Wilkenson : Bass Guitar The Honkettes : Backing Vocals
@@pjyork8879 Artimus played drums on more pre-crash Skynyrd albums than anybody! If he's not original then neither is this song! Because Artimus was the "original" drummer on this song! No other drummer ever recorded this song with Skynyrd!
@@BST-lm4po that doesn't matter, Artimus may have been the drummer on the song, but he wasn't an original member of the band. He replaced Bob Burns. It was Ronnie, Allen, Larry, Gary and Bob. Those were the original members.
Was it Garry playing during the solo of this one? Right after Ronnie says "here it comes". I know that different guys would solo on different parts of songs. That little solo on this song (this version on particular) is fucking sick. I can't help myself and I turn the volume all the way up every time It comes.
Personally I like Allen but it takes both Gary and Allen’s playing to make the first album which is easily their best. Ed king only played guitar on one song on pronounced. Ed really didn’t play bass very well so when the second album came time he was involved a lot more. But Gary and Allen were always bouncing off each other. No Allen or no Gary it’s a completely different band.
I’d of given anything to been born when Ronnie was blessing our planet with his greatness along with the rest of the band! This lineup will forever be the true Skynyrd! ❤️
.Good line up. But the original 3 guitars included Ed King, who was also brilliant. Saw the 75 tour with only 2 guitars and you wouldn't notice the difference. Steve 'Okie' Gaines was good, but not right to say the 'true Skynyrd'.
Well if you look at it that way, you gotta mention Bob Burns too. I think of all pre-crash lineups as “original Skynyrd”. If RVZ was stalking the stage, it was original Skynyrd.
They massively practiced. Ronnie was a task master. He would go over and over a song until it was "perfect t." All the solos, were not spontaneous. What they played on stage was exactly what they practiced. Many of the members had said this. Love me some Skynyrd
HELL house. Their practice place had no AC. Jacksonville, FL in the summer. They practiced till Ronnie was satisfied. Nobody ever quit. They knew they had something spacial.
That's the only time in the song at that point that they had the little bit of time to wipe the hair. Really fun to watch a drummer reach for a new stick after he breaks one. Those drummers are insane
Best heavy metal.... black Sabbath... best southern rock ...lynard Skynyrd... Best outer limits band... pink Floyd... best hard soft medium band...led Zeppelin...... today's music............ there isn't any.......!!!
thank you Jacksonville for producing in my opinion the finest band ever, cant wait to come over from England when we are allowed to pay my respects at the graves of ronnie, Billy, leon and allen.
@@janetprice85 I play them everyday!!! I'm a Jacksonville Kid born and raised I saw them around town in the early 70's . The best ever hands down. Growing up in J-ville attended numerous concerts it was a weekend thing often. Skynyrd by far best ever!!! 🎶😘❤👌💋👍🎸🥰🎶
Saw them twice before and twice after the crash. July 1974 at Sedalia Music fest and July 1977 at Chicago's Super Bowl of Rock at Soldier Field. One of America's National Treasures.
Still listening January 27th 2023! I'm 66 grew up in the 70s with Skynyrd. Saw them in Pittsburgh with Ronnie then saw them about 4 times middle 2000s. Not the same without Ronnie. ✌️💜
The best American rock band ever, blew the Stones off the stage at this concert. Weirdest thing about this band is the song That Smell, written about Gary Rossington and he was the last of them to die. I still rue the day they crashed
I remember this song as if I heard it yesterday. Man in 1976 I was so young. Time has sure flown by. Keep rocking 😎 I will keep on listening and loving ❤ your band and all the members in the band in my prayers..
Sitting here in July of 2021 and it seems like every few minutes there is a News flash about a shooting I just wish every radio station in the world would play this song at least 10 Times a day
I wonder what the Surviving Members and close friends of the band at the time, think of these OLD VIDEOS??? WHAT A GREAT BAND...!! Wish I could have seen them when I was 17 and they were in Idaho. THANK YOU RONNY VAN ZANT FOR SHARING YOUR DREAM WITH US LISTENERS.... REspects, RH DSD
Oh yeah!! These guys mustve blown yhe English crowds away man, they're loving it,I heard they blew yhe stones of the stage this day,ive also heard yhey were the support for the who at one stage and same thing...blew them and the crowd away! Rock legends man!
I watched that too and thought I was dreaming!!!!!! 😂 was shocked they was a feature band on one of the primetime next works in the dawn of 2024! Ronnie and the rest of Skynyrd in heaven is smiling!

Knowing you could kick the shit out of any band you're touring with gave Skynyrd a dominant presence on stage
Except for when they toured with the Who....Roger Daltrey would have been the best second they ever saw!
@@TRAP6DOG that was the night Pete tried to lure poor Leon into the van.
Amen
@@seanbarnes1151 ??
I bet moonie kept them in stitches, the laughing ones of course, Ronnie was a bad man,my favorite front man ever
The only thing a smart phone is good for you can go back in time and see some greatness for a few minutes
🤙🇺🇸
Yassssssszzzssssssdd
True that 👍 The pride of Jacksonville FL !
"You got that right" to quote one of their lines
I always think if Ronnie knew that during one of his song & RUclips stops 4 a commercial heads would roll
Sometimes you just wish a time machine was a reality
💯💯💯💯♥️♥️
1:15 Time Machine
Would be the best
Invention Ever !
RUclips is a Time Machine..
Artimus is from another planet on those drums.
He Kills.
Sounds fantastic!! 🤘🏼
The Greatest Band in American History.
THE TRUTH
I agree
This live version hits harder than the studio version 🔥
That's true for pretty much any Skynyrd-song.
The best rock band that ever was and still to this day , Rest easy RVZ and company !
🇬🇧🙏🏻🇺🇸
Allman Bros: hold my beer

44 years today the plane crashed and forever changed rock history. Rip Ronnie, Steve, Cassie and Dean!! 🎸
I was in 10 grade and going to a class and I heard it on my portable radio. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Rest in Peace! We still remember you and your music!!
There's NOTHING better than skynyrd ❤❤❤
NOTHING
You got that right! Pun intended.

@@craigbusick9676 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
You sure got that right
I saw them with Ronnie in Winston Salem NC May 29th 1976😂😂 with Zz Top! For $8.50/ great show! We got pretty drunk, and high!😮😮
The recent passing of Gary Rossington brings and end to an incredible group. I have loved them for 40 .
A Band so powerfull they could turn Goat Piss into Gasoline ! ❤️ LS
Damn this was a bad way to find out just now a month later but I hope he Rest In Peace
I started with "Pronounced." Heard them live 4 times, twice before The crash and twice after.
As I have also my friend love love love all of them never have and never will there be anyone or band who compares

Such a tragic story for practically the whole band. I think Artimus Pyle and Gary Rossington are the only ones left and they don't like each other.

Unbelievable group. Everything is presented badass, genuine and the message Ronnie put across was to the point. In every song.
Right on man

Love Gary's tone and solos on this song . Rest PEACEFULLY BROTHER 🎸🎸🎸❤🙏
His Les Paul was so crisp!! 👍🏼😎
Gary can really make a guitar sing!

That little solo on this song (this version on particular) is fucking sick. I can't help myself and I turn the volume all the way up every time It comes.
It's Gary on this one primarily, as was usual on Saturday Night. He really is the signature sound of the band.

@@donjohnson5172 You can always tell Rossington’s sound. It’s got that Southern Skynyrd stank that makes him immediately recognizable.

saw em in 75..life changing experience for me , i think i miss Ronnie everyday since, just amazing

@@melodymakermark Understood!😃👍👍 I was born in "66", but I grew up listening to Skynyrd thanks to my older brother!!
Ronnie sounded good live and on record. The whole band was so damn good live. Those were the good ol days before all the tragedies.
Real Deal Skynyrd. Never None Better.
Rock &roll will never die!!!!!!!!!!
No matter how hard Hollywood tries to kill it!
But is dead.
@@jaberjalloul2315 Not yet, most still listen to rock, whether they admit it or not.
I seen a lot of concerts.... but Skynyrd was the best of 'em all.
Artimus Pyle is a Awesome drummer!!!!💙💚💙💚💙💜💙
He is bad azz on them 🥁s
the best live set ever played, they brought Dixie over to England and couldn't get enough, what legends.
They blew the Stones off the stage.
They sure blew The Rolling Stones away!!!!!
Stoned
How were they so damn good live?
They massively practiced. Ronnie was a task master. He would go over and over a song until it was "perfect t." All the solos, were not spontaneous. What they played on stage was exactly what they practiced. Many of the members had said this. Love me some Skynyrd
Lmao how do you think they were based..... on talent not puppet shit with sound enhancement shit.
Look up the movie If I Leave Here Tomorrow... They practiced a song over and over... When they recorded a song, it was usually done in one take..
HELL house. Their practice place had no AC. Jacksonville, FL in the summer. They practiced till Ronnie was satisfied. Nobody ever quit. They knew they had something spacial.
Practice
Ronnie was a fucking badass!
Legends

@@timothygard8517 cheers...
Hey everyone, it's 2024,and I'm still here, since I was 12,1974. LYNYRD SKYNYRD IS THE BEST BAND EVER. Especially the original Skynyrd...
Skynyrd always comes out guns blazing! Just like a 38', cocked, loaded, and ready! 💋
You know it
Skynyrd hits hard and fast
I agree sweetheart
Always!
I hear Ronnie packed a 45 in his belt more often then not?!
The best balls to the wall
This is a classic live version to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Saturday Night Special and Rest In Peace Ronnie. 🙏🏻🕊✝️🕯🎸🌵🦂🥃♠️🃏🇺🇸🦅
#RIPRonnieVanZant
Amen Brother! 🇺🇸
Peavey power amplifiers and speakers. This day the boy’s blew everyone off the stage!
Best music ever🎸🎶🎧When music was great
Best line-up of the band! 4:15 Steve on backing vocals!
Leon Wilkeson was also on backing vocals at that exact moment as well
@@spike3082 That's right, he always sang it, even before Steve came to the band ;)
Ironically they're playing a song written by Ed King.
Man they were a great tight band, miss those boys!
2:16 Allen and Gary are so naturally in sync that they even sweep their hair out of their faces in an identical manner.. Wow💙💙
Wow that was crazy nice catch. I watched it about three times in row haha 😄
Ronnie made sure. They were on top of there game, ,this concert,, no Whiskey,
That's the only time in the song at that point that they had the little bit of time to wipe the hair. Really fun to watch a drummer reach for a new stick after he breaks one. Those drummers are insane
N sync
I was searching for this comment.first time i found you.i always thought "i cannot be the only one that saw that"
Gone to soon I listen to them everyday
Pure music that they don’t make anymore!!!
I was so very lucky to see this Band! In 76?
Nothing can come close!
Best of the Best💙🎶🦅
The Greatest!!! Glad I was blessed to be alive when they all were on this earth playing. R.I.P to the real Skynard Band.
Skynyrd
The touring version now is a tribute band with exception of Gary Rossington.
Great bad ass band🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Man what a band they were together
Wonder if the crowd realized just HOW GOOD this band was
Blew the stones right off the stage
I DID!! 1976 BLEW MY MIND. AWESOME
@@robertlavrakas7442yeah its interesting. I think there was some culture shock going on there. Like they weren't sure what to make of them.
Yeah that one chick..hand on her chin (I don't know what time of the vid she's in) just taking it all in.
Evidently not because none of these people knew any of the words or was it not cool then to sing with the band?
They sound so good live! Wish I had a Time Machine
RIP Gary ❤
Saw them twice before and twice after the crash. July 1974 at Sedalia Music fest and July 1977 at Chicago's Super Bowl of Rock at Soldier Field.
One of America's National Treasures.
You’re lucky. I was born in 01 and didn’t even have a chance. Fantastic band, and even better guitar players. That Steve Gaines can work a guitar.
How many people in the audience are still around and remember this show??
this performance will live forever !! I cannot get enough of how PERFECT they sound ! Admiration and love to Jacksonville !! THE BEST !
"MAGICO"...
