that moment when you realize your (grand)parents rocked *_WAY_* harder than you ever will. 😆
Riiiiight! Lol! 💯
We owned the 70s! The coolest ppl on the planet, are now 60s and 70 year olds today.
We were 🔥, still are!!!!
It spectrum goes from the 60s through the 90s. Best music Era ever.
Damn straight! 😊
That crowd are now grandparents. I was 16 in 1977.
Damn lol they sure knew how to party ! 🔥
This concert was 10 days before my 18th birthday. My band members chipped in and bought me a ticket and all 5 of us were there in the middle of that mass of humanity. We had a GREAT time!! The one thing this video doesn't quite convey is how incredibly LOUD the concert was. It was hot but the Coliseum sits right off the San Francisco bay, so the mild breeze kept you comfortable. The concert was kicked off by The Outlaws then Santana, and followed by L S. Those throngs of females were there for the headliner, the white hot Peter Frampton. Whose 'Frampton Comes Alive' double album was still riding high on the charts18 months after its release. Got a Hell of a sunburn that day, but it was well worth it. An incredible day of music indeed! RNB
I don't know where you live now but if I ever ran into you it would be such a privilege just to walk up and shake your hand !
@@wendellburkhart8297 Thank you Wendell. The privilege would be mine. I still live in the S F Bay Area. Silicon Valley to be precise. Best wishes my friend, RNB
That's awesome, Rick N Backer. I so wish I could have seen them live-what a great memory for you!
@@pommie5093 Thank you Pommie, it is hard to believe it was 45 years ago. It seems like yesterday. I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season. Warmest regards, RNB
I was there too… Frampton couldn’t follow that…😊
Welcome to Southern Rock, three guitars, no waiting.
Ahaha love it! 🙌🏽🔥❤️
You can tell most of the audience KNOWS WHAT'S COMING with only the first three notes being played! And when the brunette wearing aviator sunglasses starts clapping her hands over head, and the toilet paper rolls get launched on the infield, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT'S ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED! Those lovely gals are now grannies; just think about THAT! (Sorry to ruin any fantasies you guys had built up.) Nice reaction!
Ain't gonna ruin my fantasy I married one of them 14 grandkids later
Those days were the best!!! NO cellphones.. NO internet.. just always outside day and night, in hot summers and freezing winters with your friends and GOOD MUSIC passing around a joint or trippin on acid! I wish it was still back then 😢I miss it
We can only imagine! We got to experience that as kids, but once we got introduced to our cellphones and computers it was over lol! I crack up when I go to concerts and see everyone with their phones out while I’m trying to mosh around and crowd surf lol. I’ll tell you what the last part still happens at the rock concerts lol! Plenty of joints and acid to go around Roflmao! -Andy
@@SimplyTwoDudes lol 😆 true.. I guess now I'm to old to be doing that.. BUMMER I just got depressed on how old I am.. I guess I should have said I wish I was young again back in those days! Well I'm glad I got to experience it!!!! OKAY I feel better now!!! 😅
Free bird is probably one of the top 10 rock songs ever
Top 2 imo
@@TubinTexas top 1
both Freebird and Simple man have been Rock 2000 winners. with Simple Man being the current top song out of 2000 rock songs. pretty epic.
you know you're a Southern Rock fan if you signed a petition to make this song the national anthem.
imagine the olympics medal ceremony! 😂🤣
Those were not backup/rhythm guitars, Lynyrd Skynyrd was also famous for having 3 lead guitarists of equal talent at once!!
Shesh thats impressive !
Mmm. Just look at all of those beautiful young grandmothers.
😂😂
Lots of folks' grandma's having a good time...We all had a good time back then...
My buddy and best friend growing up. His mom grew up in the same neighborhood with these guys. Knew them all personally & use to date Leon Wilkerson. She was pretty much my second mom. It’s a smaller world than we know.
That’s pretty insane! Super cool fam! 😲😮🙌🏽🔥
Those moments of watching Allen Collins, Steve Gaines, and Leon Wilkeson up above you like a trio of rock gods, playing their freaking minds out, is one of my favorite moments in music history.
You just watched one of the greatest bands ever perform one of the greatest songs ever written. Watching LS live really shows how extraordinary they were.
Haha they're awesome !
That was the great Allen Collins in the white outfit who wrote the song when he was a teenager. Ronnie said he just couldn't write lyrics to it because of so many change ups. One day Allen had an argument with his girlfriend, who became his wife. She wrote on a napkin to him, "If I leave here tomorrow will you still remember me. When he went to practice with the band, which they practiced long hours, he showed Ronnie the note. Ronnie left to the dock and wrote the lyrics in 20 minutes. I saw the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band in March of 75. Band members I saw were: Ronnie Van Zant:vocalist, Allen Collins: guitarist, Gary Rossington: guitarist, Ed King:guitarist, Leon Wilkerson: bass guitarist, Billy Powell:piano/organ, and the hard beating Artimus Pyle:drummer.
All the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were perfectionist at what they did. They all worked hard, but made it look easy to give the audience a memory they wouldn't forget. Best band performance I have ever seen.
The solo was done like it is because when they were still on the bar circuit it gave Ronnie time to rest his voice because they did multiple sets in a night. It just sometimes got longer and longer. And when Ronnie gave Allen the OK he took advantage of it. Knebworth 76 is a great example. Just think all these females are Grandmoms now.
Greatest Southern Rock Band ever. Probably the most requested encore song ever. Skynyrd was so uber talented and their story is among the most tragic in music history. You’d be hard pressed to find any music group with a 4 year window to have such an amazing catalogue of music. They raised the bar so high on stage. Free Bird guitar solo by Alan and Stevie is up there with anyone. This band was so freaking good. And, no they’re not from San Francisco. Just good old Jacksonville, Fla. React to Tuesday’s Gone,
Call Me The Breeze, Simple Man and Sweet Home Alabama.
Jacksonville ! really. Damn Florida natives haha
People at all sorts of concerts started shouting “Do ‘Free Bird!’”
@@pipermccool Absolutely. For decades, at any concert, someone randomly would yell, “Free Bird!”
Every song in their catalogue is a must hear .. Welcome to the greatest American band in history .. enjoy the ride boys
Thank you bob !
Still can't believe the Drum and Base let alone the Guitars. Insane.Renember this as I am 61 now.Whst a time I had back then Blessed.🌹
It is always nice to relisten to the music of my youth through the ears of the modern youth.
Its awesome !
No need to break a guitar....only thing needed to do was exit left stage...they killed it and they knew it
The smile on your face says it all.
God Bless!
I'm glad my reaction could convey the joy and appreciation we felt! Music has a powerful way of bringing smiles to our faces and touching our hearts. If there's anything else you'd like to share or discuss, feel free to let me know. 😊🎶
To think only a few months later we would lose Steve, Cassie, Ron, and some management to the plane crash. 20 survived
Dang 😞
All young and old guitar players back in the day wanted to play this song rumor has it that it is the most played song to the point of music stores prohibited people from trying to play it in their stores
I saw Lynard Skynard 3 times in the early 70's. They were always awesome. It was like huge party!
That’s awesome! Lucky you!!! 🙌🏽🔥❤️
I saw them in Chicago at Soldier Field this tour. I was 14 and it was everything. Soldier Field held 70K people and it was packed. #sunburn 💔
I was at this tour to see Skynyrd and terrible Ted. Yeah, I didn't know Ted was a d-bag, when I was 14. Google this show. It was 5 bands. #freebird
Shessh 🤟
i also was there 1 of the best times i ever had
I so love it when someone watches this,..and when the song ends,..you clap,..like your there,..like your actually there,..snd it thrills me to no end, when I see young people, check this song, this group, this video,..when they stsrt to tske off, and pick up the tempo,..to insane heights,..and I see the surprise on your faces,..I just start laughing,..I get giddy,..just like you were,..makes an oldster feel young again,..I didn't get the chance to go see these guys live,..only outdoor shows I ever went to was were Santana, Pat Metheny, Kenny G,..huh ironically all the rock shows I went to were indoor, ACDC, Kiss, Van Halen,.Judas Priest, Sammy Hagar,..ZZ Top,..Pink Floyd,..Hall and Oates, I went to some fantastically in the stratosphere shows,.Joan Jet, Loverboy, Rush, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, James Brown, BB King, theres a few I missed,..The Rolling Stones, Lynard Sknard,.., Led Zeppelin, Peter Frampton, some of these groups, are not around anymore,..there are a precious few still touring, if you get the chance, do go, please go while they're still around, and still active, keep going, enjoy, we love watching you,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
We’re glad you enjoyed the video! & that’s awesome that you go to experience a lot of different bands & artist/singers throughout the years! 😲🙌🏽🔥❤️
Everytime I see a new reaction to my Favorite Band EVER .....I promise you won't be disappointed . Can't wait to see your face when they kick it into overdrive 😂
Haha oh snap ! sounds exciting then !
Yes sir Ronnie we still remember you...
This was three months before the plane crash that killed lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines guitarist (white shirt red pants) and his sister backup vocal Cassie Gaines. Along with both pilots and equipment guy.
Thank you for sharing that information. It's tragic to think about the events that followed this performance, but it's a poignant reminder of the impact that artists like Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines had on the world of music. Their legacy lives on through their timeless music.
This show was Day on the Green at the Oakland Coloseum also there was Peter Framptom, Carlos Santana and the Outlaws
We did our best to keep fine smokables abundant we knew how to party's
This was a big concert the other artist that performed at that festival was Peter Frampton , Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, and the Outlaws .
Sweet Home Alabama is another great song of theirs. Tragically 3 months after this concert their plane crashed and 4 members including the lead singer died and others had major injuries.
The song Free Bird was witten by Allen Collins and lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. It was inspired when Allen had a fight with hia GF Kathy. She asked him if he would remember her if she left. Many fans also think it is a tribute to the late Duane Allman.
This was Southern rock and I'm from the South. I saw them do this at Memorial Stadium (football) in Charlotte, NC on July 13, 1974. It was Under the Stars festival. It 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! Things were different then and in many ways a lot more fun. But this is how we expected concerts to be!
Wow, that sounds like an incredible lineup and an unforgettable concert experience! ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rare Earth, Leon Russell, Elvin Bishop, and Billy Preston all in one event - that's legendary. It's amazing how concerts back then were such epic experiences, with hours of great music under the stars. Thank you for sharing your memories with us! 🎸🌟🎶
1st off. Koodos for letting this play through. I've seen people interupt the solo which should be a capital offense.
I got into this biz after the plane crash. When The Rossington Collins Band went back out we did them in a small show case theater, ~1500 cap. I picked one of the road crew up at the airport who had been on the plane. They played Free Bird with no vocals. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.
In the late '70s thru the '80s I handled production on the promoter side for shows like this all the time. Stones, Dead, Who, Journey, Egales, Beach Boys, on & on. If they toured I worked with them at least once. These stadium gigs were unbelievable. Here's a link to one I worked with the Stones production team on. In my 20s & running with the big dogs...;o)
czcams.com/video/03TYbImaY7M/video.html
Of course we like to enjoy it all the way through ❤️
They had an opening band just getting started on tour with them just to get them warmed up
This was Day On The Green #4 & 5: Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Outlaws (July 2 & 4, 1977). Green Grass and High Tides live by the Outlaws will compete with this.
Okay Okay
Oh you definitely heard "sweet home Alabama" from them!!
You’re soooooo right ahahah! Just didn’t know it was them 😅😂🤦🏽♂️
Lynyrd Skynyrd are icons! These guys are the best. Love your reactions!
Thank you Anita! glad you liked it ❤️
Leon ❤ ya😂🎉
Have you seen The Devil's Rejects? If so, that's where you heard this. It was played during the final scene.
We haven't Steve! we might have to check it out!
I seen them three times before the plane crash (about 3 months after this concert Oct 77) The lead singers younger brother is the lead singer now and they are touring with ZZ Top in 2024 and I will attend the Huntsville Alabama concert.
One of the all time greatest live performances ever,
another one being from this same band with this same song in Knebworth, England, 1976.
At the concert in Oakland, Santana, Outlaws and Peter Frampton also played.
It was really good and they look super fun live 🔥
I was 20 then. I really loved the 1970s .
I’m a rock girl Ashley the way. These guys are a legend. You must see there show of free bird in England. The Rolling Stones told them to stay off the the tongue of the stage, and the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd pushed the guitar players down the tongue, and everybody at the show was so hyped just for them
They are legends 🔥
I FREAKIN loved this ❤️
We’re glad you enjoyed the video Elizabeth! ❤️
I'd nurse you back to health,Leo !!!.... ☺
Haha
Hot and high!!! Pot was passed one joint after another!!!
Sheeeesh lol! Sounds like my kind of vibe rofl! 🤫 - Andy
Got a speeding ticket today listening to Free Bird lol
Aint no way lol, How fast were you going lol !
@@SimplyTwoDudes 68 in a 50
That's our 70s rock at its finest
Thats awesome 🤟🔥
Just right before their plane went down and ended Skynyrd, the surviving members reunited 10 years later but it's not real Skynyrd to me
It's unfortunate !
The checks up front were there to see Peter frampton. All the girls have that Frampton comes alive album with the poster tacked up on their bedroom wall.
Cool show
Well I was 10 years old in 1977 for starters, 2, my brother had already been to a couple of their concerts and he had told me that they were just phenomenal, and 3 on October 20 of 1977 the band was involved in a major Plane crash which 3 of the band members lost their lives. And for your information, the group that you seen smoking at the end of the video,was cannabis (weed/pot).
Those are 60s model Gibsons. An Explorer, and a Les Paul Custom. You don't break those guitars. You put em in a museum.
🎸 🎸
That's my boys ! The knebworth U.K concert you should watch freebird there . Mick jagger of the rolling stones tried to dis them and told them to stfo of the stones tounge on stage ,of course Lynyrd Skynyrd responded 😂 saw them 4 times ! Answer smoked stove pipes . Movies Forest Gump ,devil's rejects . Next song sweet home Alabama !
Haha okay !
Yes its a baseball stadium...home of the Oakland A's!!! Spectacular performance!!!💜🎵🎼🎶🎸🥁🎹🎙🎧🤘🤘🤘🤘
🔥🔥🔥
There we over 63 thousand people there that day. Only 3 months before the fatal plane crash.
That must have been an incredibly poignant and memorable event, especially considering the tragic plane crash that followed shortly after. It's a testament to the enduring impact and legacy of the band that they were able to perform for such a large crowd and leave a lasting impression on their fans. Thank you for sharing this significant detail.
I was 11 1/2 years old when Skynyrds plane went down , last year I went to crash site in Mississippi way out in the country, they recently put up 3 monuments there it’s a peaceful place !!
Damn that's cool
PLEASE go watch the Knebworth England version!! I saw them TWICE 🐐😁😢😍🔥🎸 !!! That's the way the "70's" were, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, WEED, and SICK ASS LYNYRD SKYNYRD!! BEST TWO SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN!! 🎸🔥😍😢😁🐐🎸🔥😍😢😁🐐🎸🔥😍😢😁🐐
Okay 🔥🔥
Another song of theirs you may have heard was Sweet Home Alabama
Thousands of bikini clad grandmothers in that crowd.
😂😂
They were great in an era of great bands , great music came out of the radio every day all day & night . If it weren’t for UTube it’d be lost
Facts !
I saw them like 3 times, from the beginning to the plane crash
That’s incredible James! Memories to cherish forever.
10:42 don't sit back yet. they're only just warmed up now.
Facts rofl! I was mind blown lol! -Andy
I was actually there. No beer, just smoking.
I’m surprised they didn’t have alcohol lol! I feel like that’s all you see what big events nowadays. Alcohol and Mary Jane lol
@@SimplyTwoDudes Oh, I’m sure other people were drinking. I was sticking to other things.
They have a lot of great songs: Gimme Three Steps, Call Me The Breeze, That Smell, and many more. Great reaction! ♡♡♡
And they were ALL REAL WOMEN!!!!!
Haha ❤️
@@SimplyTwoDudes .. I know .. right? I just crack myself up at times ..😎✌
Great reaction my friends and I mean great.
Thank you Arthur, Glad you liked it !
B4 Micheal Jackson's Thriller the most expensive tickets were 12 bucks.
🤯🤯
Lol🤣🤣all I could do was laugh at the tissue in your nose!!!!🤷🏼♀️
GOAT
🐐 🐐
Best live rock performance ever. How would like to follow that ?
Peter Frampton followed them. Watched his performance yesterday. He did much better than the Rolling Stones did following LS at Knebworth in '76. They refused to come out for hours till the crowd settled down!
63.000 people
Hope you feel better Leo got the same stuff in AZ!😊♥️🎄☃️❄️🙏
Thank you Mona! sorry we're kinda late but thank you !
SIMPLE MAN
👀👀
The girls were actually there to see Peter Frampton.
I found your channel looking for Free Bird reactions!
Ayee thats awesome !
Lol they were probably smokin some Acapulco gold 🤣 or the Purple cush..just to name a couple from that time. Shit just standing close by you were gonna get that contact high. Sigh...good times ✌️❤️🍀
Ls was the headline with opening band I seen Ted nugent at D.C capital center it was the first time I ever seen the opening band I never heard this band before and me and my brothers were like who the hell is this it's not TED it was VAN HALEN first tour first album DAMN you never know what life has in store for you and this was the same year what a life and I cannot believe I'm still alive we did and still do know how to PARTY
FYI…they cut this short…they jam for another 2~3 minutes…👍🏻🎸🎸🎸
Oh sick, wish we couldve seen it though 😕
I was 12 in 1977.
In the 80’s most of the hair bands had more women than men at their shows. I wasn’t old enough for this concert.
I was there 2.
Nice 🤟
These were the Day on the Green concerts they had at the Oakland Colosseum. My girlfriend used to get free tickets through her work. The tickets were only like ten bucks. It would start in the morning and last all day. All headliners . Wasn’t usually that hot. Doesn’t usually get that hot in the Bay Area .
10 dollars lol oh how times have changed now !
I was at their last concert before the plane crash. Seen them at least 8 times live. Great live band. Party favorites in the 70s were crazy. Good times
Damn 😕
I WAS there and it was AWESOME! That was a series of concerts called, Day on the Green, and this band was one of many for that day. No cameras, no cell phones, obviously no sunscreen. Day On The Green #6: Edgar Winter Group, Johnny Winter, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Earth Quake, [Charlie Daniels][The Winter Brothers Jam]](September 20, 1975). Although featured on the concert poster, Charlie Daniels did not perform, and the Climax Blues Band was substituted. The order of appearance on stage was Earth Quake, Climax Blues Band, Johnny Winter, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Edgar Winter, Winter Brothers Jam. Here is the complete Day on the Green concert schedule from 1973 - 1999 held at the Oakland A's stadium. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_on_the_Green
Damn that must've been something else ! what a party!
You asked what other bands were at that Oakland concert in 1977. I know Peter Frampton was there because there are videos of it on CZcams. Not sure who else played on that day.
🤟🤟
@@SimplyTwoDudes By the way, I guess you guys heard that the last of the original members of that band died this month. Gary Rossington, the guitar player you see at the beginning playing that slide guitar, died March 15, 2023. The drummer in this video, Artimus Pyle, is still alive and kicking, but he's not technically an "original" member. But he WAS a survivor of the plane crash that killed many of the members of the band in 1977. In fact he was the only one that escaped with no broken bones. Just a lot of cuts and gashes. He was really lucky.
I have seen them twice one of the lucky ones to see them and I would go see them again.
Yo y'all should react to the German Beatbox Championship Loopstation Battles it's so fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good job with the name!! They tore it up always. I fear you youngins might not survive the last few minutes!! Buckle up!! So many heads boppin to this one!! Yours included!!!💗✌🌷💐 peace, love and flower power to you!!
Likewise Nancy ! ❤️
💀 ⏪🔽⏩ 💀
💣👉THE A'S AND THE RAIDERS STADIUM!!
MK🎹IN SAN FRAN!
They’re the best. 🥰🎶🥰🎶
Guaranteed you’ve heard Sweet Home Alabama and likely Simple Man. I also saw them that Summer in Anaheim, co-headlining with Ted Nugent. It was blazing guitars all day.
Dang that must've been fun and hot outside lol !
I felt like my man on the right was just putting in the time, just another video, probably wondering why this band and song was so popular... right up until 6:50 ... when his eyes opened and his soul was taken
Just got here 😢 😂dude what’s up with your nose
I JUST HAD TO ADD ANOTHER COMMENT AS THE VID WAS ENDING, CUZ I'M CRACKIN UP SO BAD!!!😂
BROS, I WENT TO Z37
DAMN GUYS...YOU KEEP SAYING STUFF THAT MAKES ME THINK OF MY OWN EXPERIENCES...THIS THIS WAS ONE OF THE, WHAT THEY CALLED JAMS...WHEN THEY PROMOTED THEM. BUT THERE WERE HELD EVERY YEAR, THERE WAS THE CAL, OR CALIFORNIA JAM. AND IT WOULD BE A LINE UP OF ALL FAMOUS, GREAT ROCK BANDS AT THE TIME CAL JAM 1/77. CAL JAM 2/78. AND ON...AND TOLEDO JAM, WHICH WAS WHERE I WAS IN 77, AT THE TIME THIS WAS GOING ON!!
TUESDAY intro HAPPY GILMORE
OH SNAP! Lol! I remember the scene and everything 😂 Never knew that was them! Awesome!
