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.

It's amazing how much of a presence Ronnie had by just simply moping around in bare feet.

Well their anti-gun anthem was Saturday Night Special, they had several pro-environmental songs, and Sweet Home Alabama appeared to be critical of racist Gov. George Wallace. Just some examples that seem to point to them being Liberals. Plus, not all band members were from the South - one was a hippy from California, another a hippy vegetarian from North Carolina, another was from Oklahoma.
Gary playing like a great guitarist he is holding a smoke between his fingers...priceless
Rest in peace Gary. This one stings a lot. Thanks for the music ❤️
One of the all-time greats

Damn that's some ass kicking southern rock. I was 16 when this tune came out cruising in our muscle cars popping 714s and beer searching for the next I don't know what. What a great time to be young with hair down to my back.
Damn! Skynyrd was such a legend. Definitely blues at its very finest.
You just got rocked by the greatest rock band that ever lived!
The Gary solo at the end, and the film work there, is one of my all time favorite rock moments. Gary’s groove and tone are just special. With the cig in the hand. Whole band sounds on fire. Getting Ronnie in the background grimacing in ecstasy at 3:07 says it all.

Absolutely the best band to take a stage. Allen and Gary are insane on the guitars. No one like them. And never will be. I'm so blessed to have lived during the Skynyrd era of music. The best music ever made.

That's because it's the voice of a real man. They have been largely eliminated due to the leftist communist agenda of the feminization of the American male. Just gping to the gym gets me sick seeing men in their little anklet socks. If I wore those in the 70's, I would have got my ass kicked.
My favorite Song, never heard on the Radio, I would've loved to have been there when Gary Rossington, got 2 the sky up obove, Ronnie, Alan probably gave him a hug, What took u so long

LYNYRD SKYNYRD LYRICS "Searching" I asked the wiseman one sunny day Can you help me find my way You're so much older and wiser too Would you help me mr wiseman I'm feelin' blue Oh I'm not satisfied He said you're not doin too bad, not bad at all You're just trying to walk son before you can crawl You got stacks of money to sky up above Now all you need is to find you a love He sent me searchin' to find my love He sent me searchin' to the Lord up above He sent me searchin' just to find the mornin' dove And she'll tell you where to find your love Oh mr wiseman I need to find my love You can have anything in this god's world But you won't be happy son 'til you find a girl Now you can be happy boy if you try Find a woman boy, you'll be satisfied He sent me searchin' to find my love He sent me searchin' , I said Lord up above He sent me searchin' just to find the mornin' dove And she'll tell you where to find your love He sent me searchin' to find my love He sent me searchin' , I said Lord up above He sent me searchin' just to find the mornin' dove And she'll tell you where to find your love Oh Lord, he sent me searchin'
