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.

R.I.P. Gary Rossington ( 04.12.1951.- 05.03.2023.) was an American musician and songwriter. He is best know as a founding member of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, in which he played lead and rhythm guitar. He was also the last living founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rossington was also a founding member of the Rossington Collins Band, along with former bandmate Allen Collins.
The first solo he's on the pedal but not the second the second is pure genius.

Artimus was a very dear friend to Ronnie and Judy ruined everything. She is a blood sucking vampire and actually in Jan of 20 21 moved ( for the 2nd time) Ronnie's grave, " Melody and I were never happy about the spot he was in" so he was moved away from his parents and oldest daughter Tammy's plots- to an isolated area in same cemetery, the new grave 10 feet away from what she called a "peaceful lake"- it's a black moldy pond that looks like stagnant water. She is a VIPER
On the studio version, where Ronnie says “I know, I know, I know” and it fades out to the guitar. That for some reason gives me goosebumps, the way they recorded that intrigues me.

I had to avoid listening to this song for a long time. Cuz it would get me crazy and I would want to use despite the message. But I am now coming to the reality that Ronnie is telling us not to do it, it will kill you. And I now embrace the song in what it was meant to be.

@@chrisgodlaproductions3106 good deal Chris. I’m so glad to hear that and thx for replying. I just kept using and lying to myself. I thought I’m not hurting anybody but myself. But I’m clean today. I still smoke some weed but nothing hard anymore. I hope you are doing good a keep the faith. Skynyrd was the Best Ever to me. AC
The Skynyrd rock story may be the most tragic ever! Watch an hour or two of Lynyrd Skynyrd live videos from the '70s and you'll be a fan almost instantaneously. The legendary talent on stage is among the best you will ever see of any live performance. I always knew and respected the band but really had no idea how great they really were. And I hate to take anything whatsoever away from the obvious great talent of the guitarists, drummer and bassists, but Ronnie Van Zant was truly a once in a lifetime lead singer, song writer, band leader and frontman. One of the worst losses in Rock and Roll history that seems to be sorely overlooked.

@@iamtoothewalrus I'm not knocking the Beatles, but I gotta say I prefer Skynyrd. The Beatles have plenty of touching and emotional songs, but (at least to me) Skynyrd has something that moves me much deeper in my soul.

@@scramblesthedeathdealer I'm right with you bro - my comparison is Skynyrd never recorded a bad song, just like the Beatles - two best bands ever IMHO. I still remember leaving the high school parking lot in 9th grade (1979) and my buddy Dave Simons coming up to me saying I had to listen to this song called Free Bird by a Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was hooked from then on...
The best southern rock band of all time. And there's no arguments.
This masterpiece of Southern Rock helped me kick so many years ago. The healing power of music - timeless lyrics set to blazing guitars. Thank you Ronnie!

You're absolutely right about music having healing powers! Lynyrd Skynyrd was my first concert I went to when I was 14. I'm 62 & struggled with the 💉🥄for 30 years. Rehab's didn't work but listening to music & the LYRICS finally sank in! R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd🕊️💔
No band ever made more great music in such a short time.
