Summary:
By the time Lynyrd Skynyrd played this sold-out show at San Francisco's Winterland ballroom, they had become the unmistakable kings of Southern Rock. Spearheaded by charismatic frontman, Ronnie Van Zant, the group had taken southern boogie from the swamps and brought it to the masses.
There is an enormous amount of energy and power in the multiple guitar mix of the band, and that is clearly apparent when they launch into solos on these songs. The group had built a solid following via AOR radio by 1975, and songs like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird" had given the band enormous crossover appeal. The group was coming off two hugely successful albums, its debut (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd) and 1974's Second Helping, and they had recently replaced original drummer Bob Burns with Artimus Pyle.
This show was recorded during the band's tour promoting their 1975 album, Nuthin' Fancy, and it features Lynyrd Skynyrd at the top of their game. It was also one of the last shows featuring their original three-guitar lineup, as Ed King left the band midway through the tour. Skynyrd confidently played its brand of riff-driving Southern fried rock boogie to near capacity crowds on this entire '75 tour.
Poignant songs like "The Needle And The Spoon" are balanced against established Skynyrd rockers such as "Saturday Night Special" and "Gimmie Three Steps." Songs like "Whiskey Rock-A-Roller", J.J. Cale's "Call Me The Breeze", and "Sweet Home Alabama" are played here in their early forms-many of these classics would re-emerge as part of the must-do repertoire of so many country artists.
The band ends the show with a predictable but crowd-pleasing, version of its radio anthem, "Free Bird." Sadly, the band would change drastically when some of its members, including lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, would die in a plane crash two years after this show was recorded.

The man.
Ed and Gary are unmatched here. Ronnie and Gary loved fishing. Brilliant.
Ed King playing the horn part on his guitar is awesome!!!
Ronnie, the ultimate leader and ultimate professional. Damn, died at 29, what could have been...
these guys are just so f-ing legendary! wish I could have seen them back in the day. I was definitely born in the wrong decade for music
One of my fav Skynyrd songs. Gary's solo is a masterpiece.

RIP Ronnie, and all past passed Skynyrd members. One of the best bands of all time, they influenced me in my younger years to help me become who I am today.
My all-time favorite Skynyrd song..."if you wanna talk a-fishin', I guess that'll be ok". Love u Ronnie 🥰 💋 ! RIP and I pray that we meet in my next life!!
Gary rossington, killer guitar player, years of practice
Southern poet... Real music, written from the heart, played by real musicians who just plugged their guitar into an amp. No racks of equipment or auto tuners or anything else. You don't see that kind of talent on display these days.

Yes you certainly do see it these days. It's just that there's so many frauds that they've effectively obscured many ppls access to chasing good music. I thought for a while everybody sucked these days and I always wished I was born elsewhere in the 20 century...but I only adopted a close minded attitude. And I'm not defending frauds...and morons who have no talent. Or experts at guitar hero... But there are some great musicians and groups out there

No matter whether it had Ed, no Ed, or w/ Steve they all sounded great. I never made it to Skynyrd concert & it is my biggest music regret ever. Most everyone else I wanted to see I have

Saw them in Bradford and Manchester UK 1973/4. Saw them in Leeds in Dec. 1975 & met Ronnie Van Zant and Leon Wilkeson. Also met Ed King in M'chester in 1974 after Free Trade Hall gig. Early band was the best. All guitar solos non-improvised and arrangements v tight. A great band sadly missed today. AK
Rest in Peace Mr. Ed King
I am just so thankful that someone recorded this concert. Just can’t beat Ronnie’s vocals. Love the mix of Gibson guitars, Gary and Allen, and Ed King’s Strat. This song and Gimme Three Steps are some of my favorites. I can only imagine the concerts all the departed members of Lynyrd Skynyrd play in heaven !
Damn near 41 years later and they have too be one of the best bands ever. The dating is from when recorded. when this was recorded I was only 4 months old.

The best thing ever happened to me and the music industry the day I was just thinking about you and your family and friends ,and I looked up to see Ronnie walk in the House and I will never forget the world is full of people who are not going to be the one who can make it happen. Ronnie and the other brothers are the best. Keep The Shiny Side Up.
Winterland Skynyrd footage is the best live footage of them, you could tell they put all of their time and energy into sounding that good
RIP ED KING 👑. reunited with all the Skynyrd boys
That's some fine Guitar work from Ed and Gary on this one :D

Someone looked a little jealous while Ronnie & Ed were hooting & hollerin'. Ed definitely is the only member who grew up in a different world. But when I watch how much fun those two were having together, it makes me wonder if there may have been a bit of exaggeration in recent years about how Ed never really was a part of the family. Is it possible the truth may have gotten stretched a bit, once hardly anyone was left to dispute the facts? I heard Allen flew home pissed, the same time Ed left. Ronnie just knew how to find him. With Ed's many talents, I often wondered how awesome an "Army" of Allen, Steve & Ed might have sounded together.
You got that rite everyone deserves a break from work before they lose there marbles rock on peeps😎🇺🇸✌
best band to ever live. Rest In Paradise
Boy they look so young. I went to Winterland both nights they played there. I was right up front , stage left just in front of Gary Rossington. That was back in the day when Ed King was still in the band. Great concerts.
Classic Tune... from way back in the day... serious southern rock...
