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.

What a rare find here. This is probably the best performance of this song Skynyrd ever gave. And Steve Gaines wasn't even in the band yet! It is such a damn shame that plane went down, because at the time, no other band in the world could touch them. Skynyrd was so much better than everybody else it's not even fair.

You have to watch this. Never understood why the record company removed this song to get “One more from the Road” to fit on one CD, but it was on the vinyl release. Just an awesome jam. When you think the guitar jamming is over then Billy Powell just turns it up on the piano. Also I never realized how good Artimis Pyle was on the drums until watching this.

Never replaced,never duplicated .Listened to all their stuff back when I joined my first country band...Dirt Creek in Asheville N.C. Really a fantastic band to look up to and emulate. We'd start off with Guitar Boogie by Arthur Smith and somehow it would always morph into T for Texas and we tried to sound as close as we could get to the live version recorded in the Fox Theater in Atlanta ,Georgia. When that plane crashed, it took out one of the finest Southern Rock and Roll Bands that ever hit the stage. I cried for a week when they died.and I still listen to their music at least once a week,R.I.P. my brothers and sisters !!!

I was living in Atlanta, and happened to be at Funochio's Bar the weekend they played there , the night Al Kooper was there and saw them, A Memory i will never forget, Cousin Figel
Awesome video! All the musicians here are as good as it gets but Billy Jones of the Outlaws has to be one of the most underrated guitar players of all time

I think Allen shines the most here.
It is hard not to love Gary's playing. Always so cool and calm, making it look effortless while absolutely tearin it up!
as if a group like lynyrd skynyrd could be so complete. Long live rock.
omg Ronnie was awesome
A true "guitar army" just rocked your socks off!
My first Skynyrd show and the show I compare all shows to. Outlaws opened and Skynyrd closed. Winterland was rocking that night. Sitting under the balcony it was moving up and down. Outlaws played with Skynyrd. It was the hottest show I have ever seen at Winterland. Seen many there Pink Floyd, Ten Years After, Deep Purple and numerous others. This show even today I compare all shows to. Still today my favorite all time.
Damn I would have loved to have been behind Ronnie on stage... Most every lead singer I’ve ever worked with could take lessons from him....I don’t think they (singers) realize what all they could learn from an ol Florida country boy singer. But the guy was sheer genius... Gary pretty damn good too... never heard him miss a note. Even though he’s pissed me off plenty, gotta give the man props.. Allen was an innocent soul and my favorite guitarist... He was tormented in ways he couldn’t cope, god rest his soul... Ed was just Ridiculously good, at 17 was playing lead for a touring group.... His sense of time and playing on the off beat was the best..... Steve gains was just a natural born rock and roll fantasy... full package that I’m sure would have went on to front his own group had he lived.....
Love this song so much! Great performance!
Southern Rocks Finest!!!! Ronnie Van Zant and his Mules!!!
Very good guitar playing
