I was there! They were the best band at Knebworth that year! Head and shoulders above the rest. The Stones, were great, but these guys left me with an everlasting impression.
i was there as a 21 y/o ,now heading towards my 70th birthday. this was the 2nd time i had seen the stones , but the first time i had seen or even heard of LS - they were just brilliant on that day.
We all have to die. No one's immortal but their music lives on. Unfortunately 3 of them died way too soon. But we have RUclips to go to when we miss them.
Their guitarists were all great. I truly believe Steve Gaines was destined to be the best. Songwriter, vocalist, lead guitarist, great slide player…. Would have been a stone cold legend.
@@chucky2569 yes i know about Gary , i dont know if you watch the documentary about the Skynyrd on Netflix , really good and Gary talk about the good old days
@@ianlawlski1102 Gary's solos are perfect for the feel of this song. Those big bluesy bends on that LP neck pickup are killer sounding with this track.
He couldnt handle the endless touring, drinking, drugs, etc. The tours were lengendarily rough - they just ground him down until he essentially had a mental breakdown. Sad story. But Artimus Pyle was a much better drummer anyways - heavier and gave stronger support to the guitars.
Ed diffently help take them to another level, they were like a rocket, entering into roll and roll hevan, may they all R.I.P. They set the bar that very few bands reach and in my opnion, no group in my lifetime has surpassed.
It’s so mind blowing that in less than 5 years and 5 albums that they produced so many classic rock and roll songs. One can only wonder “what if” if there wasn’t so much tragedy surrounding this band. Truly one of the greatest bands of all time!
without a don’t one best ever and i’ve seen ton of them.steve is on that list too of course bias my fav band of all time. these guys that is. dig ricky and all but doesn’t compare
Omg never had I heard three lead guitar players jamming at the same time with perfect timing and making their guitars scream with pleasure the first time hearing freebird
And I just read a Rolling Stone magazine 'top 100 guitar players of all time' .... and not a single Skynyrd boy made it! WTF!! That removes all credibility from that magazine!!
There will never ever be a band as great as Skynyrd hands down. I still listen to them to this day. RIP Ronnie, Gary, Allen, Leon and Billy. Miss you all.
So glad yall love my all time favorite band!!! This song was from their earlier days. If you notice there in the middle when the music gets happier that riff became the riff for gimme three steps. All their songs are hits to me. You'll never go wrong with any SKYNYRD song
I saw them in Memphis, Tennessee at the Liberty Bowl Stadium and brother I couldn't tell the difference between the album and the live show. They were that superb with their music. Great band.
All musical geniuses and Ronnie...what a songwriter and story teller....wish I could have met all these guys. But as life has it, it just takes some people too damn early.
This is the epitomy of a band. Egos everywhere GOING THRU ...you guys ALL know the stories, amazing how they could get everything in check to perform 🎉
An ARMY of lethal guitars! Story goes Ronnie was a work ethic dude, these guys practiced in steamy weather and he pushed the band, Billie Powell will never be topped, just an excellent combination all around! Don't forget how free Americans were back then too...
Crazy how close they sound like the album version. Those guys probably always sounded great. Didn’t matter if it was a festival or a small dance hall that held 50 people.
I check these vids out every few months or so. It is staggering how good Skynyrd was. Check out some cover bands doing this tune. Then come back to this. The difference is beyond belief.
I was there too - they were by far the best band that day utter class - and also Captain Beefheart was ace - a great day and a shame the stones were poor
I was there too. Lynyrd Skynyrd woke us all up and got us on our feet on a hot day where you could get stoned just breathing the air, and after some fairly unexciting sets from Todd Rundgren’s Utopia, The Don Harrison Band, and Hot Tuna. The Stones were great too. No-one "blew anyone off the stage". They are different bands with different styles and they each did what they do exceptionally well. The Stones did have a lot of sound issues though, with occasional excruciating feedback.
WOW, there's songs U LUV , BUT AFTER AWHILE , they become ? not as thrilling/ unique as the 1st few times u heard it, THIS IS AN EXCEPTION !!!!!!! This is 1 of the BEST EVER !!!!,the guitars, drums , YIKES, OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING!!!!!!
Steve Gains, Allen and Gary could shred on those guitars and Billy on keyboards. I won't even go into Ronnie's voice. He was the band. Came up with the name and made those boys practice, practice, practice. The record company's said they were so pulled together in perfection at their auditions.
One of the greatest rock and Roll bands ever

Amazing show they put on lucky you!
So Lucky!
I wish I had been able to see them back then. Unfortunately, I was born ten years too late
@Paul Gretny I tried.... the scanning was pretty quick
@JOHN lll Yep, I have used the same wording many a time
There is no amount of money you can put on these guys, the absolute greatest in all the universe, then, now, and forever and ever!!!
i was there as a 21 y/o ,now heading towards my 70th birthday. this was the 2nd time i had seen the stones , but the first time i had seen or even heard of LS - they were just brilliant on that day.
I was 21 76 great great summer brilliant concert
Arguably the greatest American rock and roll band of all time Rest in peace
Assieme a Mountain di Leslie West
Definitely the best Band on Earth.
how tight were these southern boys, today's bands can only dream about being this good.
It is sad that almost everyone in the classic lineup of Lynyrd Skynyrd has died. Especially Gary Rossington, he was a great guitarist.
We all have to die. No one's immortal but their music lives on. Unfortunately 3 of them died way too soon. But we have RUclips to go to when we miss them.
@@lisashelley3051 More than just the 3 from the plane crash went too soon. Allen, Bob, Billy and Leon also died young and tragically.
Their guitarists were all great. I truly believe Steve Gaines was destined to be the best. Songwriter, vocalist, lead guitarist, great slide player…. Would have been a stone cold legend.
Yes!!!
All but Artimus…
How can you dislike this ?? Come on !
Rip all the boys
It's so fucking tragic how many Skynyrd members are gone
Keep pushing Gary !
Gary is only original one left..he turned 70..Rickey Medlocke was with them briefly in 1971-1972

The real Skynyrd.
is the new skynyrd not real?
@@yellowexplorer-l3h Nope. They are a cover band.
What else could they do? Had to play with the cards they got.@@paulrocksification
@@Troubadour1681 I appreciate the fact that this cover band is keeping the music alive,but…….
I don't care what you play & listen to as long as it's LYNYRD SKYNYRD.........and nuthin' else!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of talent on that stage
Greatest pure rock n roll band to ever take the stage.
Great band great song!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Each one of them are masters of their craft and never again shall we hear such sweet sounds.
I really loved the real skynyrd band.. Allen is out of control... love it
Gary was on lead guitar
When you have Jesus on drums and three legendary guitarists, the Stones really had no chance.
😂❤
Bob Burns was the original drummer he quit not sure why but he was a great drummer
He couldnt handle the endless touring, drinking, drugs, etc. The tours were lengendarily rough - they just ground him down until he essentially had a mental breakdown. Sad story. But Artimus Pyle was a much better drummer anyways - heavier and gave stronger support to the guitars.
Everything about this video is absolutely priceless. It captures a whole generation and a chunk of history perfectly in 5 minutes and 17 seconds.
This is HOW You BLOW The Stones OFF THE STAGE!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is an Ed King contribution to Lynyrd Skynyrd! Ed wrote some great ones! Sweet Home, Working for MCA, Whiskey Rock-n-Roller, etc.
With that sound, Ed had to have put a major force into it !! Ed was the cool California Hippie. :)
Ed diffently help take them to another level, they were like a rocket, entering into roll and roll hevan, may they all R.I.P. They set the bar that very few bands reach and in my opnion, no group in my lifetime has surpassed.
He played guitar for Strawberry Alarm clock back in the sixty’s
It’s so mind blowing that in less than 5 years and 5 albums that they produced so many classic rock and roll songs. One can only wonder “what if” if there wasn’t so much tragedy surrounding this band. Truly one of the greatest bands of all time!
Well, they're no CCR, but they did ok.
@@MouthBreatherGamingyou’re brain dead.
Allen was so badass! One of the best in my opinions. Didn't have enough time to really shine! But left some great music🤘
. . . his own worst enemy, sadly.
May G-d rest Allen's soul.

One of the all time greatest Rock bands
And I just read a Rolling Stone magazine 'top 100 guitar players of all time' .... and not a single Skynyrd boy made it! WTF!! That removes all credibility from that magazine!!
Allen's rhythm makes this song and one of the best intro's in rock history.
Masterful. True southern rock.
one of the best live rock performances ever
There will never ever be a band as great as Skynyrd hands down. I still listen to them to this day. RIP Ronnie, Gary, Allen, Leon and Billy. Miss you all.

Gary is the Man !! He owned this !
Ed King wrote it.

Freaking amazing. RVZ is the best of all time and his lyrics are amazing
This song sounds like its headed to a fight. Great attitude riff and vocals. Oft' intimated, never replicated.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
The best version of this song! Love the faster tempo…..it rocks more.
This is the epitomy of a band.
Egos everywhere GOING THRU ...you guys ALL know the stories, amazing how they could get everything in check to perform 🎉
The best back then, and always will be, listen to them all the time, music never gets old! 🎧🍺🥃🎸🎤🤟☝️❤️
Simple and straightforward. All honestly. Super.
This is one of my all time favorite rock songs.
Good choice ! They have plenty more. Hand gun are made for killin , that ain’t no good for nothing else.
For $20 you can buy yourself one toooo ! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 !
Goosebumps...these boys on 🔥
The best Band!!! Forever!
F*&king amazing. Gary on that lead slide is unbelievable. Masterpiece of a concert performance.
Live Classic Southern Rock Perfection !!! Great stuff !!!
The clean-up of both the audio and video is remarkable.
Excellent job folks.
Hell yeah Johnny boy loves Skynyrd...
Steve Gaines was the best thing that ever happened to Skynyrd!❤❤❤R.I.P.🕊️
To think of all the songs Steve would've contributed on future albums. Still can't get over the crash.
@@SL-vi4tk me either I was in Mississippi when that happened! And to think Aerosmith was going to take that plane!
Skynyrd had the four best guitar players and the best front man...they were all tight as shit and heaven sent!
Ed King.
@@paulj0557toneheadhell yeah!
The KINGS of Southern Rock! Skynard!
Skynard??????????
@@kenbrown3076 that is what I’ve said, yes.
Can you at least spell the name right? SKYNYRD
@@kenbrown3076 no, I did it on purpose to piss people off. So far I’m winning.
@Grizzly406 Didn't piss me off. It just shows how ignorant some people are. Thanks for proving it!
Oh man, that may be the nastiest les paul tone ever, awesome
🤘😝👍
The greatest live performance ever. No debate!
Literally endless debate.

Great song. Rock on!
Damn that tone!!
Epic!
Jimmy@ Monterey, Blind Owl, & Carlos at Woodstock these guys@ Knebworth some things are just too epic to ever be repeated
Crazy how close they sound like the album version. Those guys probably always sounded great. Didn’t matter if it was a festival or a small dance hall that held 50 people.
Good stuff I could almost hear that dobro (or slide) chimin in ,🤘
Man, these guys were good!
Gods of Rock!!!🎸
When I go to Heaven and I’m floating on my fluffy cloud. That’s all I want to hear….LYNYRD SKYNYRD
AMEN!
People who don’t know old fashioned rock and roll should watch this concert
I check these vids out every few months or so. It is staggering how good Skynyrd was. Check out some cover bands doing this tune. Then come back to this. The difference is beyond belief.
Great music! Thanks for sharing
The Rockers are rocking’. Thank you.
LEGENDS!!!!
What a joy to watch..
Brutal... 👍👍👍
Lord i miss them !!!❤
I was there too - they were by far the best band that day utter class - and also Captain Beefheart was ace - a great day and a shame the stones were poor
Billy Preston enhanced the Stones Show I felt.
One of the great songs i can play it too which makes me even happier 🎉🤘

Great film production, priceless
Thank you.
WOW, there's songs U LUV , BUT AFTER AWHILE , they become ? not as thrilling/ unique as the 1st few times u heard it, THIS IS AN EXCEPTION !!!!!!! This is 1 of the BEST EVER !!!!,the guitars, drums , YIKES, OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING!!!!!!
Steve Gains, Allen and Gary could shred on those guitars and Billy on keyboards. I won't even go into Ronnie's voice. He was the band. Came up with the name and made those boys practice, practice, practice. The record company's said they were so pulled together in perfection at their auditions.
It was actually Bob Burns who came up with the name.
Great to see.
Awesome!!! Охренено классно! 🤘Чувствуется дух того времени. Кому-то повезло быть там... 🙏
Still give me chill
they are the best ever
Amen brother
they sound like they are in a recording studio, great
No one can hold a candle to the southern masters
UK- stars and bars. some "woke" idiot tore down my flag. it was in memory of skynyrd, i wasn't planning to reintroduce slavery!
Searching is the best Track from the Knebworth show if you can find it. I have it on DVD but it was apparently removed from RUclips🎸🎸🎸👍🏾☠💚
The live version is always better than the studio version in my opinion.
That's what a Les Paul should sound like.
EINFACH STARK
A great song and way ahead of its time. Hand guns are made for killing...
Mick Taylor was an unbelievable rock guitarist!! What a great time for Rock! He just walked away from the Keith and Mick J show!!
Legend
Now that's the real deal -- oh yeah!
