Lynyrd Skynyrd-Gimme Three Steps-1976

[sheka216]

how can a person not like this classic song



[Imwhites1]

GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND EVER!!!

[TheManWhoLovesToRock]

R.I.P to all the Lynyrd Skynyrd who died in that terrible crash

[joyce99999]

OMG!!!! TELL ME, PLEASE, WHAT CONCERT IS THIS FROM?????? THANKS SO MUCH!!!

--joyce--

[fender7375]

@joyce99999 I think it was called "Knebworth" .... in England. They opened for the Rolling Stones (and kicked their butts) in front of 120,000 fans. I believe this is the concert featured in the 'Freebird The Movie' DVD ... someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[Teresaolliz]

I can't imagine not liking this song.....had to be Justin himself that clicked dislike button....

[Predatr091]

Just curious, right at 32 seconds, Artimus hits one of his cymbals and as it bounces up and down it looks like there is a huge chunk that's been knocked out of the front of the cymbal. You can only see it for a couple of seconds. I dunno, since I was around back then maybe it's just my old eyes playing tricks.

[NonFerrousBueller]

@Predatr091 A drummer friend told me it's fairly easy to break a chunk out of a cymbal if you hit it "wrong" - something like it has to be a sliding hit rather than a direct whack. That's why if you ever see bands sharing a drum kit the drummer will use their own cymbals.

[FRANCECHILD]

GOD BLESS TEXAS.OH!HOTLANTA2.

[HelluvaBadShot]

@FRANCECHILD only steers and queers live in texas

[EEEEELAD]

great bit of redneck rock

[BennettLaura]

I think those who hit the "dislike" button just got excited and hit it on accident.

[ep1970]

Talkin' bout a Georgia Honky Tonk!

[MrDickrambone]

There are 4 people that are certain they pushed the "I'm a moron button" :)

[FOOTBALLV]

The guy at 1:27 is definitely feeling no pain. He probably doesn't even know what universe he is in light alone that he is at a concert rofl

[JonnySoonami]

rockin' that muscle shoals sound shirt. KILLER!

[scorcoran62]

Bare feet so he can feel the stage burn

[frank47hammer]

@scorcoran62 Yeah, what band today has the lead singer and lead guitarist bare foot. The best RED NECK band ever.

[angbayemay]

Hell Yha!!

[qbee817]

Nothing and I mean nothing gets any better than this! Love them & miss them. Timeless.

[TheWaxedHead]

fuck yeah

[RockNanok]

Lynyrd Skynyrd the best southern rock from the USA. They was so incredibly good so rocking all over, you can just want more music from LS You are so loved and never ever will we forget you guys, keep on rocking in Heaven guys.RIP you are sadly missed....

[leonetski]

great song by a great band...it was a real tragedy when their plane went down

[slinginguitarman]

I wonder if you could gather up all the grass thats out in the crowed,how long it would keep one person fried?

[metalhead9167]

[slinginguitarman]

[RickyRocker821]

[cjdesesa1]

The 4 dislikes are obviously fags that are into Lady fuckin Gaga.

[tanksbb]

"I said excuuuuse me"

[mxrider2138]

[maillady22]

Love the fact he usually preformed barefoot! So he could feel the rythem in his feet!! Tooo freak'in cool!! They played in Greenville, SC 2 days before i turned 12. My Sister got to see them but my mom would'nt let me go!! I was born 5 yrs too late.

[misslantana52]

Legends!!! R.I.P. Ronnie......

[javchucker47]

So glad this live stuff still exists....30 years old and I would have never gotten to see such a great live band without web. This song is only old if you remember it from 70's, it's still pretty new to me

[Dnyce1971]

no x factor or american idol crap here...just good pure american rock n roll how it was meant to be!

[dixona8997]

stupid comments from stupid people!! steve gains had more talent on his fingernail than you in your whole body jw johnson !!if you dont love it just dont watch it & comment ! they was the most awesome band ever everyone but gary & artibus is dead... have some RESPECT!!!!!

[snip84]

[James91LP]

[MrTNickelson]

SKYNYRD SATURDAY THE 10TH SEPT _UCK I CAINT WAIT

[theintica]

jsut aint quite the same since they lost Ronnie, may he rest in peace



[theintica]

i agree with foneswitch, sad time for anyone and everyone who grew up on REAL music

[scooter2959]

Those 4 dislikes r people who dont know music........ The Bear

[foneswitch2]

Around a year later they would be no more...which was a huge loss for us Southerner's

[briandavisradio]

The shot at 3:32 , following RVZ calling for "ALL THE MULES OUT" ! INCREDIBLE !

[sslaton100]

i could only wish to see them i also wish i was born in the 60s im 29 and i hate this generation

[NewNewsDaily]

I AM SEEING THEM TOMORROW NIGHT :D I CAN'T WAIT :D I am 17, and its my 4th time seeing them :D I wish I was born in the 60s.

[nietzschealeatorio]

classico

[Harland135]

I remember where I was when I heard the awful news...

[GrumpyBeasley]

@Harland135 Me too...was a sad day for us all.

[JessaMesss]

Ah man! watching this has the same effect as chugging three beers =)

[soxbaseball13]

1:27. What'd you say dude? Ah I'm too wasted to hear right now anyways.

[chixaroxn]

seen them in Chi-Town before during and after tragedy

[WaylonForever]

Just read that this really happened to ronnie when he was about 18, he had a fake ID got into the little brown jugg and was dancing with a girl linda and linda boyfriend saw ronnie and pulled a gun out of his boot, and it said ronnie ran outside to the truck where Gary and Allen were waiting on him, and they went home that night and wrote this song

[sheddski]

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WE ALL GOT THE BAD NEWS OF THE PLANE CRASH AND SINSE THEN WE LOST 3MORE AND TO THINK 34 YEARS AGO IS A LONG TIME WHAT A SHAME

[4813agl]

Hard to beleive that there are only 2 alive from this great lineup. So sad!

[xarzu]

Damn Plane Crash

:(

[stretson]

"A little Georgia honky tonk"....

[MicheleVenters]

heck yeah!!! :))

[Thebeekerham1988]

P.S. This song got me into 2 bands back in the day, once singing and once drumming.

[Thebeekerham1988]

Watching this ..... 35 years later ... no exotic lights, no smoke, no pyrotechnics ..... just a buncha good ol' boys jammin their asses off .... Ronnie just SINGS ..... that's all he needs to do ... the lyrics speak for themselves ... triple guitars .... would never survive in today's corporate environment. Artimus Pyle on drums is the reason I started playing drums lo those many years ago. Billy Powell on Piano .. nuff said. They just don't make 'em like the Van Zant brothers anymore.

[jamiemsmith2007]

@Thebeekerham1988 Amen and well said brother! Music just ain't what is used to be! R.I.P. Ronnie <3

[bryant5266]

4 people better give me 3 steps...

[wmosco]

i assume the dislikes are females because the use of the "c" word...

[wlns]

Love the Skynyrd band! They are the architects of Southern Rock! Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchett, .38 Special are all cool, but Skynyrd is the best!

[Nitrousoxide2k]

I'm fairly certain people hit the dislike button just to be different...

[thuumper65]

@Nitrousoxide2k Dude You Just have to be rite there's NO Other Explanation !!! And I also agree with Vermont vocals Those 4 people should not be allowed to watch Videos anymore !!!

[georgesorosisgay1]

rocking PEAVEY!!

[DeadXSoldier]

/watch?v=s1DNk-8pGHA deem uma olhada ae galera, comentem por favor!!!

[goody2283]

You will never, ever, ever hear a live quad quitar performance like this ever again!! WOW listening to Skynrd makes you realize all the new music for at least the last 10 to 20 years ain't that great. I miss Ronnie!!!!!!

[melluvsmusic1]

I also heard and read their name was from their gym teacher Leonard Skinner, but they had to change the spelling for legal reasons. The gym teacher Leonard Skinner passed away not too long ago.

[carnyumic68]

@melluvsmusic1 No actually they called him lynrd skynrd to make fun of him...trust me I know I saw Ronnie and the boys several times from 1973 thru 1976 I ve got the original album with the flames in the backgropund......sadly they never made it to indianapolis in 1977

[ou8126]

skynard got thier name from thier gym teacher

leonard skinner. He used to suspend them from school!

look it up!!

[NeilFraudstrong]

For years I thought Lynyrd Skynyrd was overrated as all hell, but I had a change of heart. My dad bought me a guitar that was just like Allen's guitar (Explorer) in 2000. I thought LS was overrated at this time. The guitar didn't help change that, but in hindsight I am mighty proud to be playing a guitar that is so close to what Allen played.

[fishinvic]

Ronnie & the boys are what all bands would like to be

[VermontVocals]

4 people shouldn't be allowed to watch videos anymore.

[stretson]

@VermontVocals  or at least music videos..

[2cpukid]

@VermontVocals i agree COMPLETLEY

[kungfurabbit71]

@VermontVocals amen

[Nitrousoxide2k]

Skynyrd got their name BECAUSE of their hair. Look it up!

[chance501]

@Nitrousoxide2k  No they didnt LOOK it up

[GoRdirty30jd]

4 people didnt get 3 steps

[Trademark691]

ZZ Top has beards, Skynyrd has the hair...

[misteraxl1]

0:12 adidas shoes? i didn't know they existed 35 years ago...

[moundcitymohillbilly]

@misteraxl1 addidas in 74 was the equivalent to underarmour in11

[Stafoosha]

@ClunaBotch Nothing wrong with that!!

[PuppyLove7512]

Woo!

[flooringalabama]

Guess who all the sound guys say was the best musician in the band?

the most perfectionist then and till the end? all around best instrument

skill. Billy Powell, he really was amazing his keyboard parts

fill without drowning out, they always accompany, the other parts,

never cross over, Billy changed te way the band sounded,

if you podded billy out,you would have a totally different sound

he was really good part writer. accenting at every turn.

my next fav, leon then Ed king, then allen gary 

[MrFishtaco567]

@flooringalabama I really like Allen and Gary's stuff, they kinda come as a pair in my opinion.

[unclejohnthezef]

rock and roll

[mrinvader]

@ClunaBotch better than that beeber s#!t ill say... you got my vote!

[blueagate]

2003 TN show wasn't bad either! Hell I don't think Lynard Skynard didn't give a bad show.

[M1st3rBr33z3]

man the best rockin' concert they have ever had and next is 2008

[M1st3rBr33z3]

@M1st3rBr33z3 im sorry it was 2003...

[8165britt]

Man, cant help but think of jeeping through the mudd in California hearing this song........GOOD TIMES

[Rocky169]

Steve Gaines in blue vest. Cassie and Dean not in this video.

[mkwrockers0099]

Skynyrd will never die!!!

[jarileigh]

Can someone please tell me which of the band members died in the plane crash besides the lead singer? Like what color shirt they are wearing, because I don't know the name with a face from reading about it.Thank you much.

[melluvsmusic1]

@jarileigh Steve Gaines, his sister Cassie Gaines, the road manager Dean Kilpatrick and Ronnie Van Zant

[jarileigh]

@melluvsmusic1 Thank you so much!

[russd18444]

ii wish thet would fight Irac and in the middle east the old way .they should have learned from korea ans vietnam......but america joined both world wars on the side of the allies and was the decisiive reason the war was won,,,, as far as friendlys,,,,, when the germans bombed england it rained down on everyone there,,,,,you should now that mate

[jalapenowarrior]

BTW I was playing in bands in the '80s and I got a Gibson Explorer which I still have in the mid-'80s. I had a friend who was a Telecaster / Stratocaster guy. I have a Strat too, and I love it. But my friend used to say that no one ever used an Explorer. He was wrong, of course. Every time I see Allen Collins wailing on that Explorer, I love it!

[jalapenowarrior]

@radioshrink I love The Who and The Stones. However, in '76, for that one brief moment in time, Skynyrd were far better than either at the time. Even Pete Townsend has said so. When Skynyrd opened for The Who on that one tour, even Pete Townsend was freaked out by how good Skynyrd was and he has said so.

[russd18444]

i dont care if it was spelled wrong , when was the last war you english won , hell we kicked your british ass as a young country, the english cant win on there own, the one thing you guys have in common with the italians is the most popular phrase you use,,,,,"WE SURRENDER"""" hows that love??

[bisp25]

@russd18444 three of the best the brits have to offer the who, clapton and the stones. skynyrd blew them all off the stage.

[radioshrink]

@bisp25 Are you gonna try and tell us that Skynyrd are a better, more influential and bigger selling band theThe Who or The Fucking Rolling Stones??? Are you actually tring to say that??? If you are, you're a Moron, pure and simple.  Give your head a shake and get a grip on yourself kid - stop smoking the weed you fool. And please don't reply, just lick your wounds and go red-faced with embarrassment in the privacy of your room, as you realise the enormous stupidity of your comments, ok.

[bisp25]

@radioshrink can you comprehend what you read. obviously not. did i say they were better or more influential. all i said was they blew them off the stage when they opend for them. which is fact and been said on tv and in print.

[bisp25]

@radioshrink i agree with u skynyrd blew the stones, who, clapton off stage. excellent post, your spot on !!!.

[radioshrink]

@russd18444 Oh my God, you did it again, right after I corrected you - a typical stupid dumb dumb American...As I already told you, it's 'on their own', not, on there own!! That's the ENGLISH lesson out of the way, now the history lesson - The English were winning wars while 'your' country was still filled with it's rightful inhabitants - the Indians, who by the way, and this is very interesting - you persecuted, betrayed and murdered alsmost to extinction.

[bisp25]

@radioshrink oh by the way americans hendrix and stevie ray could play better guitar behind thier backs, then clapton can play in front of him.

[radioshrink]

@russd18444 Ok, history lesson 2 - almost every war America has fought in, apart from the war with mexico (massive land grab) and indian wars (near genocide) and not including the civil war, where you just killed each other - well done on that by the way - you've had allies each and every time and even then you've lost more than won - Korea?? Vietnam?? Not to forget the recent wars in Afganistan and Iraq, where you've probably killed more friendlies than enemies!!! What a joke...

[russd18444]

just tell the Britts to win a war without the united states coming to the rescue, and finishing there fights , oh ,,AND PAY BACK THE WAR DEBT ALREADY !!!!!!!!! BOTH OF THEM

[radioshrink]

@russd18444 Just a little correction if I may my friend, as you are writing in English - the language you also speak (although doing a good job of bastardiSing that as time goes on) - it should be...'finishing THEIR fights', not, 'finishing THERE fights', ok? Got that mate? Good.

[mjkwyo]

Best pickin ever!!~

[baburjabal]

a good but also a remarkably redundant white blues rock band. twang music for short attention spans.

"in case you didn't get that riff the first time I'll play it again, and again, and again, and again..."

or

"looky what I can I can do on this yar git-ar, see? see? see? see? hoo dogie, see? I'll do it again. See? Now I'm gonna play Freebird."

[MrJbenni]

@baburjabal You are a narrow minded pinhead who wouldn't know good music if it bit You in tjhe ass You are probobly a lady gaga fan

[MrJbenni]

@baburjabal You are a narrow minded pinhead who wouldn't know good music if it bit You in tjhe ass You are probobly a lady gaga fan

[baburjabal]

@MrJbenni usually unintelligent, name-calling philistines like u react this way when I hit a nerve, which is to say I'm right & u hate it & wld love to silence my different opinion cause maybe u r a hick fascist? Ur certainly not a Socialist like me.

Um, no, don't know much bout no lady gaga, but I do LOVE Buddy Guy, Jr. Wells, McKinley Morganfield, Chester Burnett, JJ Cale, & all of the other original composers of the music "Skinnerd" stole, or tried to steal I shld say, ha, ha

try & deny it

[MrJbenni]

@baburjabal why is that stealing when they do someone elses tune did Clapton steal from Robert Johnson? Hell no recording someone elses tunes is a compliment if it's done well and Skynyrd did them all well they also wrote a lot of great stuff themselves. And it's spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[baburjabal]

@MrJbenni ok, u make a point, not stealing, but still redundant and a marginal emulation, at best. They just get real old, real fast, kind of like a more hokey, less sappy version of the Eagles, a totally safe and understandable appeal to the average white guy.

And it's (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd).

[MrJbenni]

@baburjabal Hell no I'm not a Socialist nor a Fascist just a music lover Who loves all types of music and won't deny Anyone's right to Like what they Like Also Skynyrds' version of Call Me The Breeze is way better than J.J. Cales not that his is bad but Skynyrds' is much better.And it's still spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[bisp25]

ronnie telling those brits. this is how we play honky tonk over here in america !!

[radioshrink]

@bisp25 Yep, you are correct as 'Honky Tonk' was not really a musical genre played in Britain but then again, moving forward a little, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath showed the Yanks how to play metal and a little later Joy Division, The Cure and New Order showed the Yanks a little something called post punk or new wave. Let me finish by saying that if any country and I mean ANY country wants to compare the quality of their musical history with that of Britain, I'm happy to put you in your place.

[bisp25]

@radioshrink who cares about the other genres. i only care bout honky tonk. ronnie gave u brits a taste of the way it's done. plus they blew your brit boys the stones off the stage !!!. while i'm at it they also blew the who and clapton off the stage to.

[david640]

One of greatest " Southern Rock" song ever

[American86]

4 people just admitted they don't know real music!

[AlexisGuitar94]

Collins is totally awesome

[darlenedaveable]

[JMSupler]

I saved my lunch money for the Live record One more from the Road. My first real purchase of a record back in 77. I still play it.

[hoss3702]

love it

[fstforward48]

This was one of the best concerts I hav eEVER been to.Had Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Hot Tuna, Skynyrd and the Stones, with 10cc thrown in between. Ronnie and the boys came on and just lit up the place, awesome show. Then there was aobut a 2 hr wait as 10cc was trying to set up to record and had nothing but problems, and they were ok, but, they were still 10cc. The Stones didn't come on until about 10 at night, maybe even a little later. All in all, one awesome day in England!!!!!

[theoriginalbadbob]

This is electric guitar HEAVEN.

[eatmetod]

Ronnie got the crowd warmed up for the stones-too bad Mick had to come on after the boys from the west side of jax lol

[outlawcountryman]

Leon'S grass is blue

[TheKraitman]

this is what a concert shold look like,raw plywood,cables,tarps and thosands of fans,not this glam crap you see these days,youi gaga and biber bitches know who you are.they need all that to compensate for lack of talent.tyhese o'l boy got talent,and soul,but the truck load!

[TheBerocking]

@TheKraitman

you nailed that!! these are my people! the way its suppose to be done!!I was in 9th grade when the plane crash happened...truly sad times...

[stringbenderE2E]

@TheKraitman @TheKraitman So true, so true ....I couldn't have said it better. I don't know what's happened but it's nothing but total F@#$%ING garbage out there today. I haven't heard a really good rock n roll band in 35 years or so ... Nothing out there today but a vast no-talent wasteland. It Sucks. Sorry kids, but it's true.

[Drunkcox707]

@stringbenderE2E theres startin to be more talent in the folk/country genres but ya gotta look hard, an nothin on the radio is good.

[hayseed6969]
