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.

Man they just don't make bands like this no more. So glad I was around to witness true greatness like this amazing band
I prefer this Ed King Skynyrd version. The 70's were greatest.
Gary was absolutely flawless on the guitar here... unbelievable!

You know Rossington played that pretty slide and nice leads but Alen Collins would beat the tune out of an Exporer and rock out another ten minutes..They were both great but absolutely different players. Gary's pretty slide at the start of Freebird and then Allen wearing a crowd out at the end with that epic solo. SOB they were good.

Agree, he just snarls and snaps, very sharp. Gary was actually a pretty versatile guitarist, with the sweet pretty slide as mentioned below, and good acoustic chops, but also could rock out, very crunchy, biting leads like here. He's really playing well here, toward the end of Ed King's time with the band. Allen Collins a helluva player, too, maybe better technically than Gary, and great energy. More of a British invasion/Cream kinda trip. Not to shortchange King, he was a talented guitarist and wrote the lick for Sweet Home Alabama, which he insists no other guitarist gets quite right. If you listen close, on those opening notes, there's a special little lick that King puts in there that most covers sort of chord right through. A little something extra King does that makes it special. To think that Gary, Allen and Ronnie sprung up out of a rough blue collar neighborhood on the wrong side of Jacksonville to become one of the most beloved bands in rock history, with songs that will always be heard. Long odds, I'd say. And that Southern edge, that toughness, kept them going so hard when basically Ed couldn't hold up up the pace. Nothing against him, I know he felt like something of an outsider, and that Rebel pride is strong. In this video, those three up there out front, that's the original My Backyard guys, very cool this video exists.
