I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU'RE FROM OR HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN THERE.......IF YOU'RE A PICKER, YOU'VE PICKED SOME SKYNYRD SOMETIME, SOMEPLACE, SOMEWHERE......I'M STILL PICKIN' SKYNYRD AND WILL TILL I DIE.
2 people would not know good music if it fell out of the sky, landed on their face and wiggled. Seriously how can anyone dislike this song, I think it is one of their best top 5 for sure, maybe top 3 for me. So much going on, 3 guitar attack, Leon rockin the bass, Artimus pounding the skins, Billy Tickling the ivory (his playing is amazing I will add, in any song) and don't forget The man Ronnie belting out those lyrics like no one else can. I guess 2 gangsters did not like the white mans music.
Yeah that is the way it was in the day...you hate your label but just remember, do not shit where you sleep.....it was cool, they are gone and did what was called for in the 70s. Pick it up on the rest of the story on edotfortunemusicwannabees on the realm.
I know the lyrics keep saying "Want to sign a contract Want to sign today" But it sure sounds like "Should have signed a contract. Should have signed today" Does any one else hear it that way?
This has to be one of the best songs ever written in my opnion. Skynyrd was out of this world man. Nobody is better live. These guys practised a lot, and it shows. These guys sound better live, then any band today that gets to do their album in the studio, take by take, and pick the best parts for the song. These guys even recorded their albums the same way, one take straight through lol. Its nice to see there are still people out there who listen to good music. Skynyrd = G.O.A.T

Watching this for the first time in a long time reminds me of the fact that No Music of today has the guts & balls sound they show here. Just Awesome!
They were AMERICAS band, Ronnie would have poped bin ladin hisself if he got the chance, we only had them for less than 5 yrs, but they left a us with A BIG OL SOUTHERN GRIN.....the monkeyman
any band credited with establishing a music genre has to go down in history as one of the best ever, as does Lynyrd Skynyrd, credited with founding Southern Rock and forever the epitome of a Southern Rock band. Grew up with this band and still love the version here the best.
restlessbreed10.... how can you say that about one of the greatest southern rock lead guitarists ever. AWESOME lead work by Steve,and the double leads by Allen and Gary..FLAWLESS.. i bet you dont know music,much less how to play it,try to figure out those leads if your a guitarist, bet ya spend a while learning them.
Great track to open any Skynyrd show, but I can't remember whether they opened with it at Bristol in 76-77 with Clover as support act? I suspect they probably did. Good to see the Knebworth footage on here as well, though a lot of it is on the Freebird The Movie DVD. Can never tire of watching Skynyrd in action. Just a shame that most of them are no longer with us now.
garys tone of his mace for some reason in all these songs from knebworth sounds diffrent from any other vids. more gritty, and idk just diffrent love the tone
the beldning of Ronnie Van Zant's voice with Allen Collins Gary Rossington & Steve Gaines guitars is what made this r& b/hip hop child a fan of Southern Rock
Simply put, the bets EVER guitar line up. Collins, Gaines, and Rosington are forever brilliant musicians who only had a couple years together to rock the world. Just think if they had decades.
Love this song,i've been working for McA,shouldn't pay the bill,should've sign the contact,oh gosh that riff is nice aswell with tthat piano.Skynyrd 4 life.
EPIC! It's just sad that so many people dismiss Skynyrd because of their southern background. You can't deny the plethora of musical genious behind Skynyrd and the bible of music they created. Rawest fucking band ever!!!
@KiserJohn : That's ok that some people write them off. It's the kind of thing that seperates the people who are cool from the people who can go fuck themselves.
Steve was a much better guitarist than Ed, sorry. He is the one that helped the band pick up it's sound again when he came on board. Gary and Allen goth said his playing made them work harder to keep up.
Possibly the 3 most under rated guitarists of the 70's! Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, and Steve Gaines had a pure chemistry in their shows! Ronnie VanZant was lyrically and musically starting to show his true potential. He was not only the Lead singer, but he was also the leader and driving force to Skynard! It's a shame to see the resurrection, no offense, but Johnny you are not Ronny. Hughie (RIP) and Rickey, your not Allen or Steve. This was surely one of the best bands at the right time!
@mryaniii skynyrd hoss and i think johnny knows he isn't ronnie they way they were borned and raised is to be yourself not someone else he knows who he is he can't be ronnie no one can
WE HAVE LOST SO MANY FINE MUSICIANS. THRU THE YEARS BACK THEN GOOD MUSIC WAS ALSO THE EAGLES STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, JACKSON BROWNE THE STONES ETC.THEY HAD A KNACK FOR LYRICS and perfecting their unique sounds.THESE DAYS IF YOU TAKE OUT THE FOUL LANGUAGE THERES NOTHING LEFT... RIP BILLY POWELL SADLY MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.... DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT ED KING IS DOING THESE DAYS? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAL TREAT IF HE HAD BEEN ON THIS TOUR, IT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE HARD DECISION.... C
I DARE any artist to sing a song like this today. LySky knew they were BAD, and could talk about the VIPERS that promoted them. Nobody today has that much talent and confidence.
planned to see them the year of the plane crash what a great loss of a fab band........remember the first time i heard saturday night special.............never forget it..............or them
This is skynrd in prime to me.....you know they are all watered down by most these days(alcohol rednecks) but there was a time they were right there to kick ass and take anybody!
billy.. yes its calld freebird the movie! and i love there music. this is my favrit band... i know there gone! but i can still fire up a joint and play all there songs lol THIS is good music....yaa!!! im a drummer and this is fun to play!!
Its a shame that artimus dosent play with the band, I really thought that seeing how we have just lost an other skynyrd member a few months ago. Artimus would rise and say hey theres only two of us I would like to keep this rolling on. But I was mistaken I am not saying anything against the drumer now he is good and I like him from the damn yankees. Its like skynyrds the same but then there not because of all the new people and I would like to see artimus come back.
Ed King - original guitarist and Bob Burns - original drummer are also still living (but not touring with the band). Also, two of the three "Honkettes" (female back-up singers) are still living.
Steve Gaines OFFICIALLY joined the band in June of 1976...Recorded One More From The Road during the first week of July of 1976...Street Survivors came out October 16, 1977...4 days later he and Cassie and RVZ were dead..The band were all from Jacksonville Fla..except for Ed King, Artimus and Steve Gaines...Ed King was from California. Artimus was from South Carolina and Steve Gaines was from Oklahoma..
this is awesum. I just chose to do a huge 6 page report on these guys, and I'm having so much fun learning about them. It's exciting how much they did and how they met. Just luv it. and this song.
I saw them just months before the accident,Springfield,MA general admission,fornt row.I was just 16 at the time.Man,the sounds that came from that stage! I love you tube! God bless ya Skynrd,love ya.
What is scary is that when Ed King visited the gravesites he liked to have freaked out...He and Steve Gaines had the same exact birthday...September 14,1949..."I felt like he bought me bullet" King would later say...
Saw interview with Pete Townsend and he admitted that they didn't want to follow Skynyrd on stage. Saw this lineup many times and ALWAYS loved every minute of the music. This was my favorite song of theirs. Opened many show before being a headliner and they blew the crowd away.
man...i;m not usually a big fan of pianos...i usually into the guitarists (being a guitarist myself) but Billy Powell is just awesome..he can play man..im glad hes still with them even though they arent as good without the originals
Skynyrd does not get enough credit for their talent, it seems they are always passed off as rednecks that play Free Bird, and Alabama, but it goes so far beyond that it is rediculous. Truly a talented group of musicians. Collins,Gaines, and Rossington are VERY underated players!!
politely disagree...yes Freebird and SHA were great...my wife's and my wedding song was "gimme three steps"....it has no meaning as a wedding song...we just liked to dance to it...we never got to see Skynyrd...but we saw Rossington-Collins...so we saw Allen before he died...
I totally agree, all Skynyrd is thought of is redneck music and that, im from VA but i don't believe in that "south will rise agian!" redneck mentalaty but i still love Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Man...they just played...kick ass R&R...and I have to apologize to shak...he was saying the same thing basically....Skynrd is not "redneck"...Skynrd is American....
I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU'RE FROM OR HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN THERE.......IF YOU'RE A PICKER, YOU'VE PICKED SOME SKYNYRD SOMETIME, SOMEPLACE, SOMEWHERE......I'M STILL PICKIN' SKYNYRD AND WILL TILL I DIE.

What is scary is that when Ed King visited the gravesites he liked to have freaked out...He and Steve Gaines had the same exact birthday...September 14,1949..."I felt like he bought me bullet" King would later say...

Saw interview with Pete Townsend and he admitted that they didn't want to follow Skynyrd on stage. Saw this lineup many times and ALWAYS loved every minute of the music. This was my favorite song of theirs. Opened many show before being a headliner and they blew the crowd away.

Did you travel around to see them? I'm curious since this lineup with Steve Gaines wasn't around that long?

Skynyrd does not get enough credit for their talent, it seems they are always passed off as rednecks that play Free Bird, and Alabama, but it goes so far beyond that it is rediculous. Truly a talented group of musicians. Collins,Gaines, and Rossington are VERY underated players!!

politely disagree...yes Freebird and SHA were great...my wife's and my wedding song was "gimme three steps"....it has no meaning as a wedding song...we just liked to dance to it...we never got to see Skynyrd...but we saw Rossington-Collins...so we saw Allen before he died...

I totally agree, all Skynyrd is thought of is redneck music and that, im from VA but i don't believe in that "south will rise agian!" redneck mentalaty but i still love Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Man...they just played...kick ass R&R...and I have to apologize to shak...he was saying the same thing basically....Skynrd is not "redneck"...Skynrd is American....

I love me some Artimus Pyle! seriously, though skynyrd sucks w/out Ronnie, Steve, Artimus, Allen, or Leon.
the original skynyrd was pure musical genius.
