Lynyrd Skynyrd,. Free Bird, Live, Oakland, 1977 - Remaster w/ Color & Gamma Corrections (Attempt 1)

- This work builds upon that which @Austech did a year ago! You should really check out his channel! He has hundreds of remastered music videos and is really the one who deserves the credit and attention here. / @austech
This is the one where he remastered the Lynyrd Skynyrd Oakland footage with AI / Machine Learning technology. I added to that, making corrections for color, gamma, saturation and aspect ratio.
This was tough. Each camera seemed to have its own level of correction needed, so I tried to average it out instead of making a different preset for each camera. The blues in the sky, jeans, clothing are more accurate. I might have gone too far with upping the saturation but I wanted things to "pop out."
I may either tone down the colors a tad and/or attempt to bring down the yellow hues. The problem is that if I tap further into the red tones, it starts affecting shadows and skin tones, because there's very little color data to draw from.

It was a lot more fun being 20 in the seventies then being 70 in the 20s
This is THE BEST comment I believe I've ever seen. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
lol i truly wish i could have lived through this time of music
@@StormAriessame lol born 90 here and been to a lot of great festivals and concerts but 70s and 80s for me the bands the era was the place to be liveeeee🤘!!
Why? @@roba.6419
Fantastic comment. Just remember, that 20 year old is still in there somewhere.
So crazy to think that all those people there were young, beautiful, and full of energy. Now they're all old and someone's grandparents. Man time flies, live it while you can.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Some beautiful women at that concert.
Some are decaying in the ground right now, some are in heaven and a lot are in hell. Just saying
@@tiedyehobo exactly
The cycle doesn't stop, live it up while you can
Awesome band, awesome music, awesome times. I grew up in this era here in SoCal...electric times if you know what I mean. It's funny. I'm still the same weight, same height and same hair down to the middle of my back. Only difference is that I vote Republican now. lol....I never would have thought that back in the day.
No cell phones. Thousands of people rocking in the moment
No phones.Heavenly.🆗☄️
No crappy flags in the way either
Tits for miles and miles
@@hypedude6120 Except the one on the stage behind the band.
The audience would just be filming it, rather than enjoying the moment.
I was there! I had just graduated from high school in June 1977. I cannot begin to describe how awesome this concert was! Definitely an experience of a lifetime. ❤️
Can you see yourself in the video?
you are lucky person 👏👏👏
where this took place ?
@@spencergregory8049 Yes, I’m with my boyfriend and my best friend. By the way; we’ve been married since 1979. 😀
@@miguelpetribu1018 Oakland, California.
I was there! Its crazy that I can see a video of this concert 46 years later. It was a great summer day. Six of us drove down from Humboldt Co with great bud. We passed joints around, and there were no strangers. Ive been to many concerts, and this was the best one of my life. I now have five grandsons, and semi-retired. I really miss those times.
God i miss the days when concerts where couple 100 friends hanging out living. Now its sea of electronics
I was there too, my first concert, I was 13, my mom and her boyfriend took me and one of my friends, it was awesome.
I was there as well and just 17 years old..I believe ACDC was also playing that day with Bon Scott as the front man. I ended up getting a sunstroke that day and passed out when I hit the cool air flowing up by the bathrooms. Still remember it like it was yesterday. So glad I was there in the crowd somewhere on Bill Graham presents a day on the green. Drove up with my friends from Salinas California. Epic concert. I'm 63 now and yes I'm a grandma now.
Wish I was there!
You hit the nail on the head the 70's girls were The best in natural all tats and piercings have robbed them of the , I'm 67 and bald and grey. I weep too!! Just look at them give me bell bottoms beauties.
👍 if you're listening to this in 2024 😅😅😅
me
Free Bird was the greatest song of the 70’s. I’m 63, dying of cancer and hearing this song brought back tons of memories from my youth. Wow is all I can say. WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
Get a brain; stop mimicking other comments.
I'm 67 , last five yrs of accidents and injuries.
If I died right now my life would be perfect
Me, this song is legend, a classic and never gets old and beats the shit that’s created today by a long shot!
Imagine a sunny day in California in the 70's, smoking a joint and going to see Skynard at an outdoor concert live. Peak America.
im having a joint while watching this ok not as good as being there but this is nice and im chilling have a good day every body chow
70s good 👍 old days 😮
It is overwhelmingly nostalgic to watch this performance. I was there with the 50K other people. It was magical.
It looks it. It was great to see people in the moment without their phones.
@@Daniel-sh3os Imagine that huh? I find it so annoying to watch a concert and people have their phones up for what? To watch it later? I dont get it.
I was there too man.what a trip. You can see me waving real hard.
@@TheZodiacRipper ahh how nice. I haven't been to a concert since smart phones came out.
I was living in the Bay Area at that time, but didn’t to go. Still i had tons of great times growing up in this magical era
As a Brit, I see lots of things in this film.
Blue sky, Sunshine, healthy happy people - (maybe a little sun burn, but fuck it), music on another level, American guitars, American amps.
The whole vibe is just amazing!
I pray to the most high, that one day the true AMERICA returns 🇺🇸
🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Thanks so much. Consider yourself lucky to have been a part of this. Our country is in demise and will never return but I'm so proud I was around when it peaked. Cheers!
Thank you brother.
As a german i agree but neither trump nor biden will bring about that change.
It won't
Because it can't
Not in our
Present
Governments'
DEI shite
World.
Fact.
I was 7 years old it was truly a magical time as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for recognizing the great music, Gibson guitars, peavey amps and let’s not forget everything Leo fender contributed to the great music of these times to the present.
The genius of Ronnie Van Zant. He created this monster, and was content to stand back and appreciate it as much as the fans did.
You forgot to mention Allen Collins..... 🖤🎵
Man.....I was 16 in 1977. What a time to be alive. What music and bands we got the privilege to see and listen to. Epic era for concerts.
...'77 was the best year I can recall.
I was 13. What an amazing time it was to be alive !
Lucky mf. Was born in 93 but here I am
I was 15, to this day, I wear a Led Zep Tank…..
I was 16 in 1977, and ANYTIME music was playing, people would yell “Play Freebird!” School concerts, parking lots, everywhere.
I was at this concert in 77. A friend and I drove from Patterson CA. Good weather and good music it was fantastic 🤩
Man, what a place and time to be.
This is the America we loved!
Please come back…
With respect, from Germany x
It's the America we loved too, and we're trying to take it back...
Regards, from USA.

As a german i can confirm.
This is freedom. This is america.
And 45 years later we still listen to the same great music
I'm 62 years old... Videos like these make me cry. For real. I am crying right now.
I sooooo miss the 70's man. My gosh. I didn't realize just how much! Peace & Love
I am with ya Bro. Wish we could go back in time knowing what we know now. Girls were so beautiful back then. I hate being old.
You know it Brother !!👍💯👍👍
My wife and I are both 65 and graduated high school in 1976. I never made it to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert back then, but she made it to three of them before the crash.
Have to agree we had it all and did not know it! This world has gone to hell but they cant take those memories, or can they? Love to all 70s ppl!
I´m 58 and I know what you feel. The 70´s were the best years. Cheers from Acapulco.
Women were so beautiful back then. I'm not saying there aren't beautiful girls today but seems like back then almost every girl was beautiful.
What as that got to do with the music.
@@spmoran4703 I don't know that it does have anything to do with the music. Lol.
They were natural back then
Now they're all GILF's🤙🏼
and you could ACTUALLY talk to the women then
Damn.. sitting here in 2023 and that solo and the whole live song gives me chills!! So sad that the original lineup didn't make it out of 77... 😞
So sad
It was a whole nother world back then, a beautiful one to.
The seventies were absolutely amazing. What a time to be teen. Dirt bikes, best music on the planet, game centers, girls, high school, girls, my 68 El Camino.....girls...
And don't forget the girls!
I think that the 80s were a little bit better, but both had the best, which is girls.
CLASS of 1974...AMEN!
Well if you weren't drafted that is
lol
Looking at these videos from the 70s, I have to say that young people looked healthier and had less weight problems back then, compared to the rampant obesity of todays youth.
Before the food supply was contaminated and computers made people sedentary
We were active , all the time. World changed for the worse. I feel bad for people in their 40s and younger
My mother got pregnant at this concert . I am the child of this concert . Never met my father . He’s in this crowd somewhere. My mother is now in heaven .
That makes the Lynyrd Skynyrd band your spiritual godfather! 👍🏻
😂😂😂😂😂
Did she at least get his name ????
I was 20 yrs old in 1977 - what a decade. A friend who played and taught guitar had this song at his funeral a few years ago - I can't hear it without thinking of him and afro and cowboy hat - skinny flared jeans 😢😢
😊
I was working outside the Coliseum as 16 year old and had to listen to this from the parking lot. Still gave me goosebumps.
That crowd was spectacular!!
I'm 82 from Jax and still gives me those bumps too Gary on slide wow!
Класаня музыка была во времена СССР и девушки наши были красивые, не то что сейчас во времена Царской Педерации поющие трусы с Кабзоном
@allenchilds8737 best slide guitar player ever imo !
This will make you sad and happy at the same time...
I simply cannot believe it. The camera was exactly tuned into the guitars in the crescendo for FREEBIRD! ....BEYOND EPIC!
But said "Screw the damn epic guitar solo. Let's filme the crowd clapping!"
@@rerditirerthz5568In my opinion it was much cooler to see a crowd from 50 years ago & the effect the solo had on them as opposed to seeing the solo itself
@@bderrick4944 Fair Enough
camera person was definitely stoned
Natural music and natural people 70's❤❤
One of the things i love most about watching these older concerts. Is the energy and just everyone getting along and just feeling the music. No tech just music
Macho man
It was a beautiful time.
And no bullets flying
Right! The people back then looked genuine and real. It's amazing what the internet and phones have done to us
I guarantee you that they'd be recording on their phones if they had em back then
Gave me goose bumps to watch this unbelievable performance. Lynyrd Skynyrd is truly one of the greatest bands in rock and roll history. Equally exhilarating is watching the crowd totally in the moment and not recording on their phones. There will never be days like this again
BIC & ZIPPO lighters lit all night bruv
There were no cell phones in 1977 or they would have believe me, I know I would have if coulda!!!
@@johnmorris3237 yep, not having cell phones forced people to be in the moment.
People weren't vapid douchebags like many are now. Too many people exposed to too much today, and most know nothing about anything.
It saddens me where the world is going… the good old days before mobile phones. Jeez, I’m watching this on one
OMG. I was part of this generation. Wow, this took, me back in a very good way. As generations go, we had a blast. Enjoy, life is short....................
Thank you for this beautiful video. The 70's, those were the days.
Its hard to belive that this once existed in America. People just living happy care free lives and loving every moment. This video seems like it was a million years ago and on a different planet compared to today. Don't know if we will ever see anything like it again.
You need to get out of the house more often.
@wyganter yeah its different now but yeah if u consume media and stay in ur bubble u miss the ppl living
Да , катастрофа случилась в 1991 году. Смотрю, не могу оторваться. И флаги наши - полосатые развевались по всему миру. Класная музыка была во времена СССР и девушки наши были красивые, не то что сейчас во времена Царской Педерации поющие трусы с Кабзоном
Yeah because nobody is living a care free life anymore? Do you see how you sound?
@@Free-leftistaction Well to be fair my belly has grown somewhat, and didn’t realize you could see sound but ok. 👍
I was at this concert, standing right in front of Ronnie Van Zant & Steve Gaines. This was THE BEST CONCERT EVER!!! 🤘 I have always & always will love Lynryd Skynyrd 🎶🎸 there will never, ever be another band like them. I was totally devastated hearing of their plane crash just a mere 3 months after this show 😭
RIP Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell & now, Gary Rossington, the final member of Lynryd Skynyrd

Beautiful recount, Cathy. I wish I could've been there. Wasn't born yet. I'm so glad we have people like you to tell us the tales. ♥
i bet you where the hot girl.
@mar lu LOL 😆 I doubt that but...thanks anyway 😊
The camera 📷 did catch all of us real quick when Allen, Gary, Steve & Leon all totally broke out on their guitars 🎸
Que bom que pode assistir os Caras. Deve ter sido muito legal !! Abração !! 🇧🇷 Brasil !!
Que suerte has tenido de vivirlo, una banda buenisima. Niñas guapisimas, yo firmaria poder estar ahi
I am 67 and Have lived listening to the best rock and roll since from forever 😎
Boy oh boy was Oakland, California a different place in 1977! Such a happy vibrant crowd of health, young and excited men and women seeing one of the best bands of all time!!! And that no one knew was going to tragically come to an end very soon after.
Every woman in that crowd was beautiful. What a great job with the color remaster.
Now they're old enough to be my grandma, but I had to say: they are hot as fuck
Indeed color remastered... No black people there 😮
@@halberderdier8073 kkk redneck rock lol
@@halberderdier8073That's ironic considering the concert is in Oakland.
Mighta had something to do with the giant confederate flag behind them. Lmao
All those beautiful 70's girls - no tats, silicone, piercings, blue hair - just natural beauty, and they all seem much happier then they do today - miss those times.
Amen Brother!! ..and no cell phones covering their faces ✌🏾
And a lot less… chonk
Ya cause I’m sure you know what they look like today hangout out a lot of high schools do ya?
you r so correct. pure beauty were the women back then. plus a concert where all got along great none of the hate crap the marxist use today 2 divide us.
Makeup, arm pits shaved, stoned and happy to be at a concert. Same as today.
Best time in American history
I was 13 in 1977. This video makes me cry. Jesus. What a great time to be alive.
I was 11 in 77'. I feel you.
Same age, agree!
It's because you were still a child. That's true of every era. The 70s were not unique in that.
@@geerterri We know. ✌️❤️
46 years later it still gives us chills…
Imagine being there not knowing you were witnessing one of the greatest performances in rock n roll history
Or knowing
Queens live aid imo was the greatest rockshow this planet had ever seen.
@6P3-Mk4 it's no doubt in the top 10 along with Woodstock
@@6P3-MK4 Skynyrd back then would smoke Queen right off the stage
@@IceMan-cp6ep Nobody on earth is smoking Freddy Mercury off any stage. Queen's not the band you want to compare anyone with.
no smart phone or any gadget, what a decade to enjoy the live concerts
Тhese people lived a thousand times better life than we do today.
They ruined it for us. They preserved nothing.
perfect!... evolution is not about technology, is about relantionship and Love...
Man concerts were wild back then. Everyone was actually present and not just there to film the *live* performance on their phones...
And Not having
To offend someone
By Acting,Moving, talking,
Not Being on a Beat...
Being , Whte.
Just Being Yourself.
Gone Days Gone.
Stupid stupid people on their with their phones
Believe me, I was there.They were passing joints around like candy. California after all.
So, yeah, we were in the moment albeit in a very chilled out way.
That's because they had no phones, otherwise they'd be filming it too.
Yeah most too busy recording now than actually really get into the concert.
Such a happier, simpler time. After the concert most went home with ringing ears, stories to tell and a smile. Probably went to work the next day.
Amen thank God and lynard skynyrd for this song I'm a navy veteran Vietnam era served on the USS Vesole DD 878 first concert in 1973 and seen many more since last time in 2023 In Nashville hope to see many more rock on God bless America and our veteran's.
At 70 years old I still dig this song
+dannymcdaniel1652: I'm right behind you Danny.....I'll be 69 in Dec. 2023. Still rockin' like I was 18. I just go to bed earlier...ha! jbeinarizona
I would like to think I will always like this music, not "my fathers music " and I'm 52. I do realize that my music is old man music to some, while there is a large percentage of youth who also like it. I'll be listening to Guns and Roses in the nursing home if they let me someday
I was there. I was 19 years old. It was the Day on the Green concert at the Oakland Coliseum. The line up was the Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton. Lots of great memories.
wow! What a lineup
Hey Kell seen the same bands at JFK in Phila Pa to over 120,0000 -question how many fans went to their show at the Coliseum? That place is huge.
OUTLAWS!° WOW
💜💜💜💜💜💜
saw The Beach Boys and Chicago Day on the Green the top deck was ready to collapse when they together sang California Girls
Back when the US flag wasn't a tool to trigger people. Just represented freedom, great music, and hot ladies.
That’s not the American flag…..
Yes, that's a confederate flag
I just can't stop hearing this song. It's like ton of times already. Beautiful crowd, happy faces, good times. The best years ever. We are the lucky ones. Enjoy what we have left. Peace be with all.

I started high school in 1971, some of the best years of my life, saw my first conert...it was David Bowie. Never got to see skynyrd though.😢
Today youngsters will never imaging what we lived, how we lived, a time with hope, a time with future ....
They can never imagine because we allowed it to be taken away.
I might be old, but I saw all the best bands! 70's and 80's what a time to be young❤
Mid/late 60’s! 😁
Тоочно. Класаня музыка была во времена СССР и девушки наши были красивые и флаги отличные, не то что сейчас во времена Царской Педерации поющие трусы с Кабзоном
I am an older parent and played music from back in the day often while my kids were growing up. I heard my daughter talk about this song with a friend and how she cranked up the song when those guitars started to sing. The younger generation appreciates the talent. She especially likes that I was there. 🙂
I’m now almost 62 years old watching this video! I was at this concert and remember how incredible it was. WOW! What amazing memories I have of seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd live!!!❤ Like someone on here said, no phones to distract and take away from the experience. Everyone getting along. No harming anyone. Unlike today 😢
I dislike the sentiment that nowadays every music event just has everyone recording all the time distracting from the experience. Being what you would call part of the younger generation I´ve been to a bunch of smaller gigs myself and (atleast with regard to the artists I enjoy) this has never been an issue. Sure, some people took pictures, but not every concert is like the big ones you see in the news where everyone is filming.
I can understand nostalgia and understand how your experiences must have been awesome, but I feel like this "no phones unlike today" stuff just sets wrong precidents about young people and how they have fun. You had your fun back then and I hope you still do now, so please let other people have their fun now.
@@iconi1355 First, it wasn’t me who said that if you read my comment; however I do agree. Second, then don’t read it. By the way I believe this is still a FREE country. Have a good day….
@@iconi1355 You're right, not everyone films, but depending on the genre of music at a show, the crowd can be turds. I reckon it all comes down to being with one's own tribe. A "birds of a feather" type thing.
It is nice to see no phones. What a great time we all had. Dam glad I was there to enjoy it. Definitely not like today.
At 62 Still love this band! God had to add a few new members to HIS BAND!!!!!
A lot of people hate on this song and it being overplayed overrated etc. Back then it didn’t matter, this was greatness. Every angle of this song is just amazing. The vocals are soft and simple, the guitars are magical in their own rhythm and lead. The drums are crisp. The piano sounds beautiful. I just can’t understand the hate for this beautiful song. As a musician this one is in my top 10 greatest.
It should set the bar for what you want to achieve. Your taste is impeccable.
i dont think people hate this song, they hate the fact trolls ask to play it every show
this song is terrific, f the haters, i still play air guitar when i hear this song......over 70 y.o. and i love playing air guitar......i was stuck playing the accordian when i could have played guitar.......at the end and sick of the accordian, i took my penknife and slashed so i didn't have to play it.........i was an angry young man then..........
this is easily the greatest guitar solo of all time
NEVER go to a concert without yelling "play Freebird".
I play in a cover band in Florida and there hasn’t been one gig where someone doesn’t yell that word. Freebird will live forever
@@Ataraxia462 I'm not surprised. 😂 Never been to a show they weren't people screaming it.

Them boys gave it all, best concert ever
My mind is completely BLOWN. I was 16 years old when this happened, and was devastated after the plane crash. I can't believe the clarity in the video and audio as well! This is an amazing job, just incredible.

Greetings from Switzerland, you kow...Europe, the old world.
I' a a swiss citizen, born 1955 in Switzerland.
My first encounter with LS was in 1983, with " Tuesday's gone" on my radio.
Relay. When live is so much better than any record you know its real and from the heart down to earth good music.
You should watch them on the old grey whistle test man, its unreal
I was so young what a great time I will never forget
There will never be another southern rock band as great as Lynyrd Skynyrd, but their memory will live on forever through the music left behind.
Damn I miss the 70's. This footage is just incredible to see how everyone is just having a great time and flowing with positive energy. I was only 7 years old at that time. Dang i wish I could go back in time.
This footage is just so awesome in so many ways!!!
I have never seen so many beautiful naturel girls in one place before
exact!... like paradise...
The cool dry air coming off the coast on that day - shiesh it was an epic day
We're you there?
Grew up in the 70s wish I could go back.
Me too.
Incredibly amazing video that captures a time in history perfectly. The world will never be like this again, you can only hope people become this connected again

@@jaydock1plus there’s blacks and mexicans EVERYWHERE.
You are the problem.
What a great sound they made!
OMG this looks amazing now, thank you to whomever cleaned it up. I've been watching this video since CZcams started. 8:50 always makes me smile.
My pleasure.
To watch the change in crowd energy @6:08 is truly amazing. Seeing basic brands, seeing equipment sitting on top of the piano sounding amazing but nothing fancy and people enjoying each other is so nice. I wish we could get it back.
I love the slow build up over the course of 11 and a 1/2 minutes. Starts off like a song to slow dance to, eventually becoming a jumping up and down uncontrollably type song! SKYNYRD truly was one-of-a-kind!
And after a couple of listens heard something different. During the “pretty part”, there is actually something trying to get the song go faster, but the song refuses. A great trick to build suspense.
FUCK YEAH!!!!! You just cannot get this now in 2023!!!! 😊😊😊 NO bullshit stage prop, tongue lolling dancing freaks! Just PURE UNADULTERATED FUCKINF TALENT AND PASSION!!! 😍😍😍😍 THIS IS MUSIC FOLKS!!!
And, coming from an old guitar player, you don't see those guys with pedalboards with 100 effects on the stage, either. Most of those guitars are plugged directly into those Peavy amps. Sounds fantastic!
if you think you can't get "this" in 2023, or 24, you're not looking in the right places.
We the boomers had it all, and we soared like Free Birds! I was 15 in 77 what a time to be alive. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic movies & music and concerts like this (I saw so many), YOU were blessed!
lol and then you fucked it all up for the rest of us
Concerts in 70's were fabulous!! 🎊 (Late 60's too)
@@songwriterscove4515 I am saying that the 50's through the 90's were the Iconic pop culture years. Yes, I was born in the early 60's and saw first hand from there on up but my relatives told me how the 50's were really like movies such as American Graffiti.
Boomers took it all...
Мне было 13 в 77, Да Мы счастливчики , катастрофа случилась в 79-м году - Афган и пропасть. Смотрю, не могу оторваться.

I played this song at my 17 year old grandson Braxtons funeral. I know my grandson is flying high with Free bird thinking of his grandmother Sheila. If you had to leave us then fly high my free bird 🕊️ fly high. You are never forgotten. We will be together forever again one day.

Sad the band was cut short, look at how beautiful the girls were back them.
Before socalled beauty sirurgics kill all beautiful girls out there😅
In those times the girls where made of flesh and Bones,hard to believe 😂
Lynyrd Skynyrd playing a blinder here. Audience so in the moment. Beautiful.
Still brings a tear to my eye after all these years! There will never be anything quite like the magic that LS Captured!!
To my friend Billy Powell thanks again for all the memories of being 15years old in Jacksonville and inviting over to meet Bob Burns who helped me with my drumming never forget my first trip to Hell House wow what a wonderful experience that was RIP my friend as well as the rest of the boys
I drove by the creek where Hell House sat (now a subdivision) last week on my way through Palatka on my way to Palm Coast from Gainesville. I was never a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan until recently (I’m 57), but I’m so proud that such great Southern rock and roll was made in my home state of Florida.
The best thing about the girls in the 70's was, they weren't overweight
The band lead singers were though.
Also, they were all girls
In the UK we'd call them 'fit'. 😛
cocaine is a hell of a drug
The food was healthier
Bless the band rest peacefully 4ever ❤
Amazing how happy and carefree people were in the past. Every young person should be able to feel this way, like a true Free Bird. Unfortunately, kids these days are so depressed and lost. Let's hope that this spirit can return.
theyre depressed because of liberalization. notice the rebel flag??? all the white people??? in san francisco???? not 2020s america kekekek
Wise words mate..
That looked like one hell of a day. Absolutely superb. Something the young people of today will never ever witness. Peace and love ❤.
I can't believe how great a band could be and have so much tragedy as these guys...they are all gone but their music will live until infamy.
And on the entire world
I'm 69 in 2023......obviously this was MY ERA. I would have been 23 when this took place. By then, I had seen Skynyrd maybe 3-4 times already. They always gave you all they had. I couldn't hold back a few tears when watching this.....personally, I feel completely BLESSED to have been born WHEN I WAS and WHERE I WAS (America). It wasn't without pain....usually from my own doing and stupidity....but I've had a GREAT LIFE when I look back on it. Oh....btw....I vote we import all the chicks in this video into our times now and deport all the ones that are here now. Look hard.....you won't find a fat person in this video.........What happened, America?
What happened America? Physical Education has been replaced by computer education. Sad!
Gotta agree totally with you, Lynn Russell. You nailed it, sister. Sad as can be....isn't it? @@lynnrussell1111
Well big food marketed sugar and grains like nothing else, people became more stressed, people became depressed from a lack of common morality, and everything became far more expensive relative to the average family's income. There's what happened to the girls of your golden age

I was at this concert! I was in the Army and on leave, visiting my Family in Walnut Creek. I stayed long enough to see Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, and Carlos Santana. I had to leave before the headliner, Peter Frampton, in order to catch my flight out of SFO to Fort Jackson S.C., and then to Germany. What a great memory!
too bad your flight wasn't out of Oakland!!! LOL
@@bjbhehir Yeah, I could have stayed for Frampton!
I am sure that Skynyrd blew Frampton off the stage
@@gmartinz01 You are probably right! Skynard was what I came there for, and they delivered!
You saw the 2 best ones anyway. 😁
Thank you for showing this video.Reminds me of great times. Best Regards from U.K.
What great taste you have. Cheers!
Don't forget: The reason the rebel flag, or any other flag could be displayed, was because the south was defeated.
The seventies, when everyone was beautiful. No matter what...
The piano solo in this version is incredible. Not 1 missed note!
They couldn't miss a note or Ronnie would have kicked their asses. Notice how he watches them when it comes time for their solo.
Shredding begins at 6:22 for damn near 4 minutes. So awesome. Jealous of anyone who got to see this live. 😊
Absolutely melts the guitar insane
Bassist included
1977, and I was the sound man of a band that had two guitar players who would double track their guitars, (play note for note against each other). I remember them saying how hard it was to play tight on the songs. Skynyrd is doing this with three lead guitar players, on a fast beat in front of 100,000 fans. The leads are just amazing. And the bass player, Leon Wilkeson, is a virtuoso to hang in like he does. I consider this one of the best live concerts of all time.
I hope the platinum blonde properly thanked the guy carrying her on his shoulders and giving her a front fow view for 11 minutes and 42 seconds of rock greatness
20 years old. Wow, listening to this brought a smile to my face
The best live tape of a rock band ever. I don't mean just Southern Rock, I mean all rock. Just unreal .
Agreed
Thats for damn sure
Absolutely
I was at this concert in 77 drove up with a friend from Patterson CA. It was fantastic good weather and music
Can we go back? Back to when we felt free, love swirled around in the air amassing all of us. I saw that the last original member of Skynyrd died and I cried for a few minutes. Funny story I was conceived at this concert. In the back of a Buick skylark
My high school elected Free Bird as its graduation song in 79. This song meant a lot to us and was such a huge anthem in the midst of what else was happening back then. These guys rocked so beautifully. Always in my memory. 🤙
Да Мы счастливчики , катастрофа случилась в 79-м году - Афган и пропасть. Смотрю, не могу оторваться. Флаги - наши полосатые развевались по всем школам.Класная музыка была во времена СССР и девушки наши были красивые, не то что сейчас во времена Царской Педерации поющие трусы с Кабзоном
Simply incredible...band, song, crowd, footage, even the wind in their hair. Magnificent
Except for that racist white supremacy flag behind them
I was there down on the green and near the front. We were packed in like sardines, it was hot and we were sunburned. Little did I know back then just how much this would hit the feels decades later, I get chills every time recalling this memory.
