This concert was in Oakland, California, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, at the time in the Summer of 1977 it was the home of the great Oakland Raiders, The Oakland A's and the Golden State Warriors next door at the Arena. I was at this show. Also saw them live at Winterland in San Francisco in 1976. Sadly the lead singer, and guitarist Stevie Gaines, the one on the left of the stage and his sister Cassie, a back up singer were killed when the entire bands plane went down and crashed in Mississippi in Oct 1977 about 3 months after this concert. They were in their peak at the time of this show. Incredible band.

Don't be fooled, kiddos; for those of you who have never heard this song before (whether this version or on an album), don't get lulled into a false sense of safety! Buckle your seatbelt, put on a helmet, and RIDE THAT RIDE! Watch for the brunette lady wearing aviator sun glasses clapping her hands over her head and HANG ON! This IS THE BEST version ever!

Saw them in Little Rock in the mid 70’s and the intensity was off the charts. About 1/2 way through Freebird some tall, blond, long haired guy walks out on stage wearing nothing but cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Yes, butt naked! He stands there grooving to the song while the band is tearing it up. The band is loving it, the crowd is loving it and when security starts to go out and remove him the band says leave him alone. Unforgettable! Of course he’s high, drunk or all the above. Finally after he’s up there for 5-10 minutes they haul him off. Whoever you are man, if you ever see this, from me to you and I’m sure I speak for hundreds of other people, “Thank You for making an awesome concert even more unforgettable than it would’ve been”.

While some folks seemed sunburned, also notice there's a stiff breeze for most of the video, so folks probably weren't suffering from heat problems.

Yes smoking up at concerts was very common back in the late 70's. I remember seeing the great group, ''Heart'' at the Hockey Arena and my group and about 20-25 people in 3 rows of seats passing around several spliffs and pipes and great clouds of smoke rising upwards. I'm pretty certain some people around us got high for free LOL The few cops in the Arena didn't dare bust anyone as they knew that could very well start a riot.

Yall should watch the VH1 Behind The Music on Lynyrd Skynyrd. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you will wear that Skynyrd shirt with pride. BTW .. the band formed when they were in high school. The teacher they hated the most was coach Leonard Skinner. So just to irritate him they named themselves after him. Their plane crashed shortly after this concert. Singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines (white shirt, brown pants in this video), and backup singer and Steve's sister Cassie Gaines were killed. Over the years the rest all passed on. Recently Gary Rossington, the lone survivor from the original line up (doing the guitar into with the slide in this video), passed away ending the era. RIP LYNYRD SKYNYRD. PS ... Coach Skinner passed away back in 2010.

Ah, some additional information. They were in 77 in Great Britain, they were on the stage before the Rolling Stones (and it was forbidden to go out on the tongue). The crowd turned absolute crazy... later the Stones played. Then they asked what encore they wanted. The crowd called "Free Bird". That is the absolute insult to every other band, because NOBODY could play Freebird without training weeks or months for it. There is even a meme about "Free bird" for other bands to be demanded to play :D

Even though this concert happened years before MTV video there is a great chance that you, who were born before the Millennial, or afterwards, might appreciate the magic of a great band in its day. This band worked that hard to make sure you would. And it's a shame that it came to an end. In October 1977 four months later three of the stars in this band were killed when their plane crashed in Mccomb, Mississippi when they were on their way to concert. Ronnie VanZant, and Steve and Cassie Gains were killed.

I knew from the moment I heard Donna's sweet Southern accent I'd love you galls. Im Canadian, lived down south for couple years when high school, many moons ago. Its so cute at 0.48 while talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd Lulu says, " ive never heard of him" 😅 like as if Ronnie Van Zant is aka Lynyrd Skynyrd... They named the band after their gym teacher who died in 2010. No one in the band actually has the name Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have four daughter's and one of them around your age thought the same. No worries. In fact many adults make the same mistake thinking that the lead singer is Lynyrd Skynyrd😅😅😅 and just a thing so many of these girls in the crowd back in 76 are all ol' Grandma's now. My colleague one of our contracts we do saw Lynyrd Skynyrd live about 3 weeks ago with ZZ Top up here in Canada said they put on a great show although there's no original members left their kind of like a cover band now sadly. Gary rossington playing that beautiful slide guitar at the beginning was the last original member to die in March of this year. In my opinion they should put Artemis the drummer from the show you're watching here back in the band he's the only guy still alive from back then. I would love to see you guys react to" T for Texas" from this show. With love from Canada, Nate.
