    Summary:
    After years of life on the road and with their role models, the Allman Brothers Band, struggling to survive the deaths of two of its most distinctively talented members, today Lynyrd Skynyrd has become the quintessential Southern Rock band. Under the leadership of frontman and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, the group's melodic lyric driven ballads and power driven hard rockers would catapult the group into one of the most popular touring bands in the world. The group's distinctive guitar attack, combined with an overtly defiant and rebellious attitude, gave them a cultural identity that would help make songs like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird" into anthems of American rock music and staples of FM radio right up to the present day.
    Headlining a bill that also featured the Outlaws, this Winterland recording captures Lynyrd Skynyrd following the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets. This was during a transitional phase for the band, following the departure of guitarist Ed King, but prior to his replacement, Steve Gaines, coming on board. The band was carrying on as a six-piece unit, augmented by the Honkettes on backing vocals.
    This is an interesting time to hear the band live, as their trademark three-guitar attack was reduced by one guitar, leaving more room for keyboardist Billy Powell. On the ballads, like "Tuesdays Gone" and the pre-jam verses of "Freebird," Powell displays great creativity and expands the keyboard's role in these songs.
    Otherwise, the band rocks as hard as ever, with a good selection of their most popular songs, sampling a bit from all four of their studio albums. The group's defiant Southern swagger, combined with an infectious guitar and piano driven groove, creates an irresistible combination that resonated far beyond the Southern states. Two of the standouts on this show are both well chosen covers, which the band redefines as their own; J.J. Cale's "Call Me The Breeze" and Jimmy Rogers' "T For Texas." Both of these are rearranged in classic Skynyrd style, with the latter closing the set and clearly displaying the root sound of the band at its best.
    The audience demands an encore and the band obliges with a monumental "Free Bird." It begins as a plaintive slow ballad, with Van Zant's distinctively sad vocals over the melodic keyboard playing of Powell and delicate slide guitar ornamentation from Rossington. However, it is the second section, which becomes an up-tempo guitar boogie, that really hits home. Here the guitarists cut loose to create one of the most distinctive solos of all time. Rossington and Collins turn this section into a soaring jam that also features impressive melodic bass playing from Wilkeson and furious keyboards from Powell. Following a brief reprise of the song, they turn on a dime back into the groove of the jam before bringing it to a climactic close.
    "Free Bird," more often than not, sarcastically, would become the most requested song of all time. For musicians, this inevitable request has become so tiresome, that the act of requesting it has become universally known as "the mantra of the moron." Still, this only goes to prove just how deeply this song has permeated American culture and is a testament to its enduring popularity, making it one of the true landmark rock songs of twentieth century music.

    The fact that it sounds this good, Live, close to 5 decades later now. Says everything that needs to be said. This was a band. This was talent, and skill, and performance, on full display. No autotune, no fancy nothing, just some Talented Musicians on stage jamming, thats all it was and it was everything.

      Without having to lift a finger! His little brother Donnie liked to show boat on stage, Johnny a little too. Ronnie was very understated

      Ronnie and the boys were in HELL House & one was picking a little Rip& a second memb.joinged& Ronnie had the 2st one backing up and start from the beginning and this is words from the BoyZ' own mouths,that Ronnie had within 20 minutes later the words to our Musical Equivalent "defining all of us"who bleed Skynyrd,our Rock National Anthem, --->
      "☆ FREE BIRD ☆"^,,Thank You Lord for the time you did give us Lynyrd Skynyrd & may you appoint them to play when we are all in Heaven...!Amen...
      3 lead guitars all feeding off one another,never done before,and still unheard of since..Ronnie was a Genius,and never once picked up an instrument at all,except 1(his Microphone)

      long live "RVZ"& Skynyrd..!

    This is such a mesmerizing performance. The engineer who was at the controls that night absolutely nailed it. You can hear every instrument perfectly. Billy and the piano keys come in clear. The Honkettes are crisp and at the same level as Ronnie. He is a puzzle. So tough yet so gentle almost. It’s still so sad that they had no idea what fate had in store for them. What a loss. Who knows what further greatness they would have achieved. All time great group! ❤ 🙏

  • @chriscampbell9191

    Like others have mentioned here, to me Allen Collins is a guitar great -- often not mentioned, but still was influential, and we see evidence of why that is, here on this video. He was, in a sense, the epitome of American blues rock playing (Hendrix was another universe) -- you hear a little bit of Clapton influence, a lot of Kossoff influence, biting pentatonic riffs and some down home Southern-ness in his playing, all delivered expertly and with a lot of drive. And he wrote some great tracks, including this one. And how this band either developed or found so many great musicians... It was amazing.

    The Skynyrd rock story may be the most tragic ever! Watch an hour or two of Lynyrd Skynyrd live videos from the '70s and you'll be a fan almost instantaneously. The legendary talent on stage is among the best you will ever see of any live performance. I always knew and respected the band but really had no idea how great they really were. And I hate to take anything whatsoever away from the obvious great talent of the guitarists, drummer and bassists, but Ronnie Van Zant was truly a once in a lifetime lead singer, song writer, band leader and frontman. One of the worst losses in Rock and Roll history that seems to be sorely overlooked.
