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.

He was so fucking good. How this man got so good as fast as he did...how he did it without being taught anything. He was so special. I’m just blown away watching him. The stories his band would tell, how Ronnie just led so fearlessly and with an iron fist not to be denied or told anything by anybody...he made all the decisions and ran the show and he never second guessed himself. It’s like he always knew what needed to be done and he commanded his band like never before. He was so naturally great. The man just made decisions and told those boys how it was going to be and with all their talent, they didn’t for a second even argue with him. Never once did they question him, they knew Ronnie was the boss and they followed him until the end. The did what they were told and Ronnie led them to unbelievable heights. How Ronnie brought in a trio of female backup singers, how amazing of a touch that was on these songs, for this band...it just fucking blows me away. Ronnie knew how to take his band to the absolute top and I’m not sure if he realized how absolutely legendary he was, his band was...but my god, was he sn vvmmmmmmmc

Sherry, if not for Ronnie…..Skynyrd would have never existed. He is the one that pulled the guys together in the beginning. Those people that say negative things don’t know that, and probably can’t recognize a REAL musician when they see one.
Ronne personified confidence. He was only 5'7" or so. Did he wear lifts or shoes with higher heels? Nope. He performed in BARE FEET. That is being comfortable in your own skin.
Jacksonville, Florida’s native sons. Wish I could have been born to see the original Skynyrd. My dad loved them and passed that love of Ronnie and company to his own sons.

Nathan Robbin While I have loved Skynyrd’s music since I was a child in the 70s, and know all their songs well, KZread really has expanded my appreciation for all of the members. With KZread and staying home all day everyday because of COVID, I’ve had the opportunity to play multiple versions of Skynyrd songs, recorded across the years, which has really let me hear and understand the contributions and influences each member of Lynyrd Skynyrd brought to their sound year to year, and how they grew as a band. Just listen to the demo of Free Bird and then listen to the live, One More From The Road version; it is incredible.
A lot of critics panned them during this era, without a third guitarist. I think they had a sound that was raw and authentic at this point. @Gimme back my Bullets” was an underrated album.

I mean of course I love same old songs they play on the radio all the time(Free Bird, Alabama, Simple Man, That Smell and Tuesday's Gone) but there's so much more to Skynyrd than those they play all the time here in my home state of North Carolina!

As great as Rossington's solos are on this song are, and they are great, Allen plays a killer rhythm here.

@@david_harvey Rossingtons guitar makes the song not the basic riff. Everyone always has to overstate Collins ability. No better than Gary or Ed or Steve or Ricky now. All fine guitarists. If Collins played the solo the same folks would say that solo makes the song🤣

Ronnie played with bare feet on stage so he could feel the vibration of the music through his legs and body. I love it! Nobody does s___t like that today. Rip Ronnie and past members. Your music lives on...
This album gets better every listen, Easily top 10 of my lifetime.All I can do is write about it.
Man I love skynyrd!
what can be said there are no words just listen to the greatest band to have graced this earth no gimmicks just music fullstop end of story
What a song!!!! I love Skynyrd!!!
Ronnie felt and lived his music. This is his blues man. Watch him in the videos. He’s amazing.
I can Listen to Gary bend those notes all day. Love his playing

My 10 month old son yells and smiles every time I play this in the truck😍🤘🏻 Cutest thing ever.
At one time long ago, I knew every word to every song they sang. They are legends.🎶💟🎶
Each person in Skynyrd brought something unique to the table. And that is what made Skynyrd " Skynyrd" !
let us cry for the bad man....I wrote a song for the bad man,. GOD BLESS SOUTHERN ROCK

That cigarette between the ring and pinkie fingers of the pick hand kills me. Most guitarists who smoke stash it under the strings by the tuning pegs. Not Gary! Gotta keep it close enough for immediate use!! LOL

If had to pick one band.... it's 1970s Skynyrd, hands down! I never felt as good listening to the tribute band without RVZ, Steve & Cassie G. I think mainly because it made me so sad and brought me back to the fateful day of 10/20/77.
