They still live on! My momma and pops raised me on this band! The very reason I picked up a fender and started strumming! This band and Stevey Ray Vaughn will always be the sound of the South!

This was the 70's when people actually got together in large groups and enjoyed themselves without cell phones. I feel so sorry for the young people today. They will never really know this freedom and joy. Tons of great music came out in this decade because each band tried to one up the others.

"Isn't that like a different guitar"...why yes lol it actually is. Its currently the most valuable production model guitar in the world. A 1958 Gibson Explorer. Its a very rare guitar. That particular one I believe is in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and is priceless today.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the standard bearer for Southern Rock. They blazed a trail for top echelon bands of that genre who were also from their hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Bands such as The Allman Brothers, 38 Special, Blackfoot, and Molly Hatchet. They were also influential to the Outlaws, who were from Tampa.

Not impressed with your response. Usually people are blown away. At least you were honest. (Lynyrd Skynyrd is the name of the band, not the lead singer. Named after one of their high school teachers.)

I never get tired of the instrumental second act in this anthem of a song. But seeing them going absolutely berserk on their guitars makes me wonder how many days, if not weeks, it must have taken to just get proficient at that part, especially when it really picks up. Truly, they were part of an era that inspired artists to really set new standards. These days, the standards just aren't that high.

Bro that may be the longest email address I've ever seen lol. Always cool to see new people discovering Skynyrd and Metallica. Enjoy the journey down this path. You have a lot more to uncover.

The girl with the glasses and yellow shirt was my sister .🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I wasn't at this particular concert, but I was at a Lynyrd Skynyrd in Columbus Ohio in 1976. It was my very first concert and one of the best, if not THE best concert I've ever been to. I'm not sure if anyone else posted that the singer was Ronnie VanZant. The band took their name Lynyrd Skynyrd from a strict gym teacher by the name of Leonard Skinner that taught at the high school where most of the band attended.

The album that was released right before they were in the plane wreck had a fire scene behind them. The members most lit by the flames happened to be the ones to die or injured in the plane wreck. They pulled the album and release it again without the fire behind them. One of his brother’s took over in the band. The first night he came out to sing the song at Charlie Daniels Musical festival and he couldn’t sing it. He placed his brother’s hat onto the microphone and the audience sang the song, This was his brother’s signature song.

I saw Lynryd Skynyrd at a 2 day classic rock festival back in day. They were the headliner 2nd day. Heart, Foreigner, Peter Frampton were a few other acts that were there. Don't remember all acts that were there. Things got kind of 'Hazy' 🔥if y'all know what I mean. lol 😉 If you want to do more classic rock, 'Heart - Barracuda' or 'Foreigner - Jukebox Hero' would be good ones from the bands I mentioned ✌

Sweet Home Alabama, was wrote after a road trip. They are from Jacksonville, Florida. My home sweet home♥️ RIP my Florida boys💙

I met Billy Powell several times. Very nice, humble man. He had some bad facial scars from the plane crash. RIP Billy. Their grave sites are close to where I live in Jacksonville, FL and Freebird is played in a loop at the grave site. Ronnie Van Zant's grave site is still there, but his wife had to move his body to an undisclosed location because fans were trying to dig him up.

Cool fact the guy playing the piano was a roadie. One day they were doing an album went on break when they came back he was playing the piano. They didn’t know he could do that he said he didn’t think they would like it but they loved it. He was a concert pianist before being a roadie!!!

Great song fantastic group and lovin the flag 😀

And that is why they r legends

Free bird means so much more to me after Ronnie died. RIP Ronnie Van Zant

This is one of the top 10 guitar rifts in history. This is called southern fried rock or country rock. The flag didn't symbolize back then as much as it does now.

Yeah, the Confederate flag was definitely a big part of Skynyrd's look. "Southern Pride" was a big thing in the 70s and that flag was unfortunately a part of it. I don't believe there was any racist intent behind their use of it. Also, just like Monty Python, Lynyrd Skynyrd was the name of the group not an individual.
