    I was at that concert, Bill Graham used to put on these concerts called Day On The Green. It was held at the Oakland Coliseum, were the Oakland Raiders & A's played their games. I still live in Oakland, but they don't hold those concerts anymore, unfortunately they were some of the best concerts ever. It cost $12.00 for a ticket on the out field grass. Lynyrd Skynyd was not the only band performing, you also got to see Santana, Peter Frampton and the Outlaws!

      That must have been awesome. I was 7 so a bit too young. I did see their very first reunion show in Jax. Donnie did a great job on his first show. For Freebird, Donny didn't sing, he placed a hat like Ronnie wore on the mic stand while the band played. Up to the solos, all you saw was a spotlight on the hat. When the solo started you could see the whole band. All the still-living members were on stage.

    What I remember too about these great 70s concerts were that thousands of people would come together and jam. No shootings, to metal detectors, a scuffles when someone was a little too lit. But mostly all just enjoying the music, the sunshine, and the herb! Great vibes!

    You hit the nail on the head when you said “that’s what brings people together - music”. We were all so much more together back then - black, white brown…all of us. The song started off even slower than the recorded version so it was long and drawn out. But all the kids knew what was coming. 😆

    During the part of Freebird where you said Gary Rossington's playing matched the singing of Ronnie Van Zant ... Gary Rossington's part could pretty much be described as being a vocal part played on a guitar. The two parts went hand in hand. -- I saw the original Skynyrd (this one) once and the reincarnation Skynyrd more times than I could guess. For many years they played almost yearly not all that far from me and I never missed their show. The original or the reincarnation, I was never disappointed in the least. Always tremendous.

    Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines (white shirt, red pants) were lost in the plane crash along with Cassie Gaines (Steve's sister) who sang backup in the "Honkettes". Band is named after gym teacher that would get on them for having long hair, Leonard Skinner. Check out "Call Me The Breeze", "Saturday Night Special", "Sweet Home Alabama", and "Gimme Three Steps". Many more hits.

    He was playing with a SLIDE, a metal or glass cylinder that is used to produce that unique sound! And, usually, the guitar is open tuned.

  • @bella-xp7qd
    @bella-xp7qd Před 2 měsíci +2

    Always gives me the creeps when Ronnie says If I leave here tomorrow would you remember me,. About 2/3 months after this show we would lose Ronnie, Steve Gaines (red pants), his sister Casey (backup singer), road manager and 2 pilots in a plane crash. 20 others survived but had serious injuries. They are all buried near each other in Jacksonville Florida. Even the teacher/coach who they got their name from. Leonard Skinner. 10 years after the crash, Gary Rossington reformed the band with Johnny Van Zant singing the lead. Billy Powell was a roadie and when group took a break he sat down and started playing the song, Ronnie heard him and said from now on your in the band.

    Us old time rockers knew that when you asked if most of their songs were at a slower pace like Freebird to that point, that you were about to experience how fast rocking they could be. Oh and always let the video play to the end you never know what you will miss. The camera pans the length showing how big the audience is and them wildly cheering this epic performance, the announcer pronounces the bands name clearly for you to hear, and some guys pass a joint while one of them looks around a bit nervously for cops or security. Been there done that many times. hehe

      I beg to differ. I was at this concert and 2 years later I was at Parliament funk fest in the same arena. I listened to Foghat just as much as I listened to the Commodores. I love Larry Graham "Graham Central station" just as much as I loved the Grateful Dead. We were definitely not limited to just rock. I graduated from high school in 1980, the music was a glorious banquet

    So skynyrd has been in my life for sometime now . Its my favorite southern rock band , i may be a little parcial , but its because they were raised 15 miles from where i was raised .. Very cool reaction to both of these skynyrd songs you have done . ( Give me back my bullet ) is a skynyrd song i think you would enjoy also . Anyway brother take care .

    Billy Powell on the piano was a concert trained pianist that was working as a roadie for the band until Ronnie (lead singer) heard him playing after a gig. They had no idea that Billy could play before that, Ronnie simply said; you're in the band.
    The lead singer and leader of the band Ronnie VanZant, guitarist you noticed Gary Rossington, second guitarist in white Allen Collins and the original drummer Bob Burns all went to the same high school in Jacksonville Florida. Ronnie started putting a band together that became probably the greatest garage band in history. That's how bands used to be formed back then, guys getting together and practicing is someones garage.

    Notice that old Budweiser can on Billie's Piano . Those old beer & soda cans weren't made from aluminum back then . They were steel and they had pull off tabs , not pop tops . You couldn't just crush a can with one hand unless you were pretty strong. Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singers Name . Gary Rossington was the guitarist who played slide guitar along with Ronnie's voice . The big solo at the end was the showman , Allen Collins ,doubled by Steve Gaines on the black guitar and Wilkeson just murdering it on on Bass ! This was a major historic performance .

    🎉 There was a group in the 70’s with the nickname, “Florida Guitar Army,” otherwise known as the Outlaws‼️ Try on some, “Green Grass and High Tides (1975). As if that wasn’t enough, Blue Oyster Cult has a few guitarists also…check out, “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” As if you didn’t know by now, the 70’s is where it’s at for guitar-centric rock. Enjoy your trip!

    This was Southern rock. I saw them do this at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, NC in 1974. It was Under the Stars festival and featured a lineup of ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rare Earth, Leon Russell, Elvin Bishop, and Billy Preston. That was about 12 hours of my life I would not trade for anything! That said this was not a one off performance. This happens to be the best remastered video of them from that era. This song was a show finaly and was always over the top! The vocals sound better in the studio version as mics for live performances were not the same as today. You probably know a plane crash 3 months later killed key band members making this video the last of that era.

    The singer is Ronnie Van Zant. Gary Rossington was the guitarist playing the guitar that you’re talking about g about that matches Ronnie’s voice. He died at 71 just a few months ago. No, they have some hard hitting fast songs. Many.

    Iconic song. I could have been one of those people in the audience. However, I never got to see them in concert. I don’t at all like their politics, but their music was incredible.

    I mentioned the genre "Southern Rock" on Simple Man. You notice the Confederate Flag? Some have called this the "Southern Anthem". Great music played by great musicians who would later become known as contributing their brand/style/image/ sound to Americana's 'historic' library of music. You'll find this genre very secretly seductive and hypnotizing, drawing you in more and more. There are many great Southern Rock Bands, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, .38 Special and Molly Hatchet just name them off the top of my head. You are having a great time. Thanks for sharing.

    Try "Things Goin On" or "Gimme Three Steps" or "Gimme Back My Bullets". Southern rock at its all-time best.
