Summary:
By the time Lynyrd Skynyrd played this sold-out show at San Francisco's Winterland ballroom, they had become the unmistakable kings of Southern Rock. Spearheaded by charismatic frontman, Ronnie Van Zant, the group had taken southern boogie from the swamps and brought it to the masses.
There is an enormous amount of energy and power in the multiple guitar mix of the band, and that is clearly apparent when they launch into solos on these songs. The group had built a solid following via AOR radio by 1975, and songs like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird" had given the band enormous crossover appeal. The group was coming off two hugely successful albums, its debut (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd) and 1974's Second Helping, and they had recently replaced original drummer Bob Burns with Artimus Pyle.
This show was recorded during the band's tour promoting their 1975 album, Nuthin' Fancy, and it features Lynyrd Skynyrd at the top of their game. It was also one of the last shows featuring their original three-guitar lineup, as Ed King left the band midway through the tour. Skynyrd confidently played its brand of riff-driving Southern fried rock boogie to near capacity crowds on this entire '75 tour.
Poignant songs like "The Needle And The Spoon" are balanced against established Skynyrd rockers such as "Saturday Night Special" and "Gimmie Three Steps." Songs like "Whiskey Rock-A-Roller", J.J. Cale's "Call Me The Breeze", and "Sweet Home Alabama" are played here in their early forms-many of these classics would re-emerge as part of the must-do repertoire of so many country artists.
The band ends the show with a predictable but crowd-pleasing, version of its radio anthem, "Free Bird." Sadly, the band would change drastically when some of its members, including lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, would die in a plane crash two years after this show was recorded.

No one has been able to play Sweet Home Alabama as good as Ed King.
And no one ever will.
Cause he wrote it
Exactly. After he left they tried to play it and it's no where near as good!
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!
You said it buddy
At 2:35 Ed King shows us all what rock n roll is all about with one of the most blistering guitar solos ever captioned on film. RIP Ed.
Just like fin wine...this gets better with age.
Thanks Ronnie
Killer guitar solo. Created by Ed King and played to perfection by him as well. Thanks Ed.
Dude you said it well !!!
Ed King did write 85% of the song Ronnie Van Zandt 10% and Gary Rossington 5%
No one could hold a candle to what Mr Ed King could do with the guitar.
Ed King was one of the best guitarists in Skynyrd, hands down.
Rossington, Collins, and Gaines, or do I forget myself?
Brian Lewis you do. This was 1975, Ed King was the third guitarist in the band at this point...
You're right of course, as Steve Gaines had yet to join the band. Thanks for setting me straight.
Brian Lewis no problem, friend
He may have been the 3rd guitarist in the band, but he was the most versatile of the 3 and the most complete musician in the band. Ed could write and arrange with the best of them.
🤫🤫🤫The one and only ORIGINAL Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Ed.... i wasnt ready ready for that amazing outro... woww. RIP to a legendary picker!
Just as an age reference for this performance. Hard to fathom they were all so young playing this bad ass!

Ed King🎸《☆》A Master improvising Guitarist & Cool Dude RIP King Edward🎸
It is cool to watch the earlier concerts when Ed King was still with LS. I just watched a video with Marty at Ed Kings home in Nashville from 2017. It was also pretty cool to see the same 1973 Stratocaster that Ed had bought back then. RIP Ed & God Bless you & your family...
Ed king 💕
Love LS..long live the king, Ronnie..
Rock it Ronnie!!!!
Dang. Ed just about perfect on the solo here. Whatta player. Ed had a keen ear too. he met the band that would become Skynyrd in 1968 & told Ronnie to call if they needed him for anything. BINGO! it had to be. a humorous side note from wiki ... In the documentary If I Leave Here Tomorrow: A Film About Lynyrd Skynyrd, band member Gary Rossington commented on King's business-minded nature while in the band. In the film, Rossington stated that King would "stop and buy US$100 worth of slim jims and have 'em in a briefcase and, driving an hour or two, you get hungry, he'd sell them to us and triple the price." (is that funny or what?) RIP Ed King.
People in bay area loved Lynyrd Skynyrd back in the day.
Not anymore. To many dic suckers and libs.

I really hope time travel happens in my lifetime, I know when Im going.
Nothing better than a drugged up Ed king smoking a cig playing SWA. America
No billy powell??? Or wasnt he there in 75?
I think Ed King contributed a lot to the band.......
Ed kink And gary wrote the music to the song Irani put the words in
King
Too Bad they never let ed just keep on Going with solo, you can see and hear tension to make him stop
Ed plays nice the thing that is bad he played intro and verse with a lot of drive and also he played very slowly and in intro the strings would often mute.
Wheres billy powell and the backup singers go??
Billy had some medical or dental issues and was unable to perform.The back up singers were not added until the following year.
Ronnie had punched billy the night before and knocked out his front four teeth forcing billy to miss the show and have a four piece bridge in his jaw built
That's not true, Ed said he hit his arm through a glass door at a bar, so he had to get it fixed.
GEWDFERYEW read that on the forum, my mistake but I did hear billy saying that happened(granted billy has been known to not be the greatest source about stuff) still love Billy tho RIP Ed and Billy
Ronnie was drinking heavily & getting increasingly violent & verbally abusive. That's why Ed left.
They look like some high school band.
Ed was a damn mess here....Very unhappy at that time with the band....I believe he left days after this concert.....
joe shmoe almost exactly one month later May 25,1975
He played his ass off, happy or not. A real pro!
Tony Dente damn right!
What is that tattoo on Ronnie s arm ?
Song sounds weird no billy powell
RIP ED KING..
