  • Hell I don't think a whole lot of folkes even thought about color, unless it was purple.....!! Ha!

  • check my channel for a awsome cover of sweet home alabama

  • Well I was just wondering. When Leon passed away. They did away with the rule of 3. To keep touring under the Skynyrd name. Them we lost Billy. So now this band is touring with one original member. One day will they tour with no Original member's or will they then extend the olive branch and ask the people left out now. To join them on the road? Well I think is a honest question. Anyone have any idea's? Will they shut it down or try to get a few more nickel's? Just how long do you ride the horse

  • @Southernborn761 They were great a few weeks after this at Soldier Field but no, they were gone when that plane went down. :(

  • @Southernborn761 what i think they should do is call it quits...they have had many many good years but its just not the same without billy or leon...but thats just my opinion...i would hate to see them go but it just isnt skynyrd without the original members

  • please check my channel 4 a awsome cover of sweet home alabama my teacher is the drummer of this band called moanin and they are yust really awsome leave a rating and a comment

  • Everytime I see the original lynard skynard I get so upset because only two of the original band members are still alive.Van Zant will be remembered.What a shame about that plane crash

  • @201southpark Just wondering. What two member's would this be? Gary , Arty , Ed , Bob and Leslie are all still alive. Just 4 of them 5 are not in this band. Gary is the only one in the band. The list could be bigger. Well if you count Larry Junstrom , Greg T. Walker. Allen did hand pick Randal Hall to play for him. Once he was unable to perform. As i was saying the other day. If Arty & Ed formed a band. It would have more Original member's than the so-called tribute band. May They all R.I.P....

  • its heritage not hate...racism did happen and no one forgets that, and we all know that it was bad. BUT the flag itself represents the south as a whole, as a beautiful land. It does not symbolize racism or white oppression of African Americans 150 years ago. Yes the Confed tried to uphold the peculiar institution of slavery and they lost. The deal was closed a long time ago. Heritage not hate

  • I saw some black people in the very back..

  • Those were the days. Although I also like some of today's music, I couldn't be prouder to be from this era of music.

  • i love you allen collins RIP

  • "It's nice to know that people like,@Texian Pride exsist! You are a SMART person.You can see through the 72 IQ brainless massas. THANK YOU.We need more like you! People this

    black,white,jewish stuff is BULL. Get with the program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hippie3375

  • rocke n roll for ever wie ich dieses lied liebe :DDD

  • Somewhere in the vault of the estate of Bill Graham lays this entire concert...Why the world isn't exposed to this great band at the height of their power is beyond me...

  • @SteveGaines they only played 3 songs. T for texas and free bird. they opened for peter frampton

  • @Purtinator6 No they didn't...The Bill that day was the Outlaws, Santana, Peter Frampton and Skynyrd...You think the hottest band in the country at the time is only going to set up and play "THREE SONGS"? LOL...Not hardly...They buried Frampton because he had to follow them and nobody could follow them after "FREEBIRD"....Even Ron Eckerman says he has the seen the entire show on tape...He mad a collage when they did the tribute tour in 1987....He had to give them back to Bill Graham.

  • OO my,, Love this great memories,,

  • Fabulous live version of the song

  • @aarfeld i asked the same thing when i seen that flag

  • @aarfeld  i asked the same thing when i seen that flag

  • suck a dick neil

  • @SPOREthomas Hey now, Without a Canadian shit talking a few states, in the songs "Southern Man" picking on the south and "Alabama" which singles her out, This anthem would not have been created. So hey man, Quote Neil Young and just "Keep on rockin in the free world."

  • @SPOREthomas you know Ronnie is wearing a neil young t-shirt?

  • @detroitrockrr He liked some of Young's music but he kept wearing Neil shirts to rub it in his face "That a Southern Man don't need his hippy ass around anyhow." He sure as hell didn't like the lyrics to the songs "Alabama" or "Southern Man" where Neil pretends to know what he's talking about without having ever lived in the South. Skynyrd were longhair hippies who respected their heritage despite being ostracized & hassled down there much worse than Neil ever was in Canada & California.

  • @metamorphosis67 I did copy and paste that

  • @detroitrockrr Duh!! You from the South boy??

  • are they racist?

    HAIL FROM BRAZIL!

  • Obama is just Bush's third run, continues the vast majority of his policies, BOMBS LIBYA WHITHOUT DECLAREING WAR, he INCREASES THE PATRIOT ACT, he SIGNS NDAA, and you cheer him rofl.

    Obamas the same as Bush but dumb ass democrats cant see that and dumb ass republicans hate Obama but loved Bush rofl

    Seriously its like a comedy act

  • You crack me up, you must be living in la la land or somthin, your definetly not in the real world.

    The sheer number of uneducated Democrats is staggering.

    Its easily on par with the number of uneducated Republicans.

    Red= Redneck fools who watch to much hanity.

    Blue= Ghetto street trash who dont watch the news at all.

    Both parties are full of moronic jizz rags the fact you are incapable of seeing that surely proves you too are a moron.

  • Lord you made my day :)

    Also Ayn Rand was a fool, and most libertarians dont even know who she is.

    I dont give a rats ass what she had to say, half of it was giberish.

    Libertarian values have changed and are allways evolveing.

    Ayn Rand was a fad years ago, nothing more.

    Seriously Blue= Intelligent Red= dumb, you got to be kiddin me, not even democrats are stupid enought to believe that crap

  • The confederate flag is a symbol of heritage-not hate-it represents something different to people everywhere, ie slavery. When in all reality, there is lineage in the south that still hold the confederacy close to the heart. I'm what you would call a "copperhead". The civil war robbed the south of their heritage.

  • don't give me that racist bs..I live In Alabama and I am so tired of people using the rebel flag as a sign of racism..One more time IT"S NOT!!!!! To be honest with you, go to Montgomery Al. and see how many white people live there...or Birmingham...You cant walk half the streets as a white man in those cities because of all the gangs and hatred towards "Whitey"..

  • did anyone see one black person in the hole video? i didnt....no saying they were racist ...but maybe is a cultural reason not necesserily racism anymore,even thhat it started from racism...dont know

  • And look at the figure on the backing singer at the right? Wow

  • I'm a British socialist ...and this is a cool song ! I defy anyone not to foot tap to this ? Go on , listen to it . This is a great tune. End of Argument! And as far as flags go...we all wave them

  • get over it ,its only a bloody flag and guess what the stars and stripes are not loved as a symbol of peace and good in a lot of the world ...to a german the swastika was a good flag before them it was a religious sign ..to most people a flag represents local pride .....and oh btw your not the centre of the universe :)

  • 6.40 Ed Gein ... ;D

  • Comment removed

  • LONG LIVE THE SOUTH

  • 5:53 for some wrong notes

  • Accusations of racism without facts. Skynyrd were proud of where they came from , the South. The flag is a symbol of that, and this song is a response to Neil Young characterizing southern men as racist. The lyrics Boo! boo! boo! the governor of Alabama who was racist, and Van Zant himself said this was the case despite interpretations otherwise. Skynyrd at one point almost hired a black band member before the plane crash, and listen to the Ballad of Curtis Loew.

  • a spy a lie!!!! dumb stupid

  • The rebel flag never did represent white power (the nazi one does)...the men who fought under it didnt own slaves.The flag stands for 'rebel'....as in 'your NOT gonna tell me what i can do'. I'm a northerner,but love the flag for this reason.The flag also,for me anyways,means good southern rock,bbq,beer,and people.

  • Oh I see this is some sort of red neck pick up truck driving song.

  • racist???? you wouldn't no what is racist if it bit you on the ass

  • Dude I could watch that bassist eat food and it would be entertaining...

  • wow, that is the most racist concert i have ever seen

  • @enpassent00 fuck you

  • @gmore56

    please get educated and stop living in an emotional stage.

  • @enpassent00 Your racist for calling it rasist and your unamerican. SO FUCK OFF

  • Look there at Cassie-- so beautiful. Just like Dixie.

  • Everytime i see Steve Gaines play i have to write something. This guy deserves top five on every list out there. Just unreal. You are all missed.

  • God, I hate these little, sneaky ads appearing in the bottom of the screen! I will never, ever memorize nor buy any of the products advertised this way. And I disrespect and hate each and every marketing manager that comes up with an idea to spoil a good song with his crappy banner!

  • you will never see thses great days again

  • love the southern twang the back up girls have when they say "Alabam muh"

  • Another Crystal Ball!................RTR!

  • @moester75 ROLL TIDE BABY

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THESE GUYS

  • OH YEAH~

  • Too much Beer makes ya think stupid I love the song and love and life and beer. Me like beer MMMMM

  • That flag isn't Gaye it is heritage

  • 127,763??????????????

    you are kidding me

  • Fuck, that crash sucks.

  • I was 15 years old when I first heard "Sweet Home Alabama in 1976. I've been a fan ever since.

  • This would be "racist" today...

    That's okay. If you hate racism as preservation then you hate diversity and condone White genocide.

    That's right,

    Anti-racist is a CODE WORD for anti-White.

  • @MarkMuses 'This would be "racist" today...'

    Somebody always has a problem, the cult of multiculturalism has led us into a black hole of death.

    Fuck apologizing for this. Maybe this isn't the best American song. But maybe it is. Definitely top 5. Top 3. On second thought: #1!!! Skynyrd!

  • NOTHING wrong with the REBEL flag...let wear it.

  • @2003Brad yes its only a flag

  • Thank for uploading this. I'm in Spartanburg, they did a show here then flew off to crash and die and I was 10 years old. I never saw them, but I love Ronnie and Skynyrd! GOD BLESS them!

  • Sweet home Colentina, unde ceru-i de azur... :)

  • This Northern Boy loves the Southern guitar sound. I've been playing since the 60's. I was first introduced to them over a bowl of hash in Spain, by another Northern Yankee, Dave from Connecticut in 1973. Saw them in Boston in 1977 with the STARS AND BARS as the backdrop.

  • Is that a Neil Young t-shirt?!

  • When this song comes on the radio, he tells me and my brothers, "Take your hats off and put your hands over your hearts, boys, the National Anthem's playin'."

  • How come girls in the '70's had itty bitty titties?

  • @tj3688 Because boob jobs hadnt cought on lol

  • Nothing Against White Americans but Thank Sweet Jesus the South Lost The Revolutionary War hahahahhahaaa lolol

  • @CalebRobinson1000 The south lost the civil war not the Revolutionary war.

    We won the Revolution.

    Why would you be thankfull we lost?

    We southerners suffered for nearly 100 years of second class citizenship and to this day hatred of the southern states among americans is very high.

    Our loosing that war was a horrible tradgedy.

    Slaverys life was close to over in the 1860s anyway.

    1880 modern farming equiment made slavery useless.

  • @TexianPride if you'd stop being moronic red states we'd stop thinking you suck

  • @bgoodwinster Once again another dumb ass American blinded by politics.

    Im a libertarian and have the benefit of seeing how incredibly stupid BOTH sides are.

    Time for Republicans and Democrats to grow up and stop being such pissy bitches over red and blue

    Damn I swear its like humans are hard wired to hate some group.

    Hateing on faceless republicans is the Liberals sustitute for racism

    You have to hate some group right?

    I suppose your gonna tell me Obama and Romney are night and day huh?

  • @TexianPride "i'm a libertarian!" guess what? i actually read atlas shrugged by ayn rand, and it was total idiocy. (that's where libertarianism comes from) you probably have never even read the book yet profess yourself to be one.

    i'm a democrat mainly because blue states like mine have higher literacy rates than red states. it's a simple fact. blue = intelligent red = dumb

  • Comment removed

  • @TexianPride you have no concept of causality. intelligent people are democrats. i'm not emulating anything, it's a causal relationship. if you're stupid, you are a republican. if you're intelligent, you're a democrat.

    try reading atlas shrugged and see if you're still a "libertarian" be the end of it.

    "libertarian" when used by tards like you usually means "i watch glenn beck on fox news"

    because you're too dumb to have actually read the book responsible for your pseudo political alignment.

  • @bgoodwinster Holy crap, I dont know anyone who watches glen beck rofl.

    Hes not even on air anymore his bullshit got cut off air lol

    No self respecting Libertarian watches Glen Beck or Fox lol

    Your confuseing the Tea Party with Libertarians.

    Im a Paul Libertarian,

    The very fact Obama was elected by yall and is still getting support from Democrats shows me that Dems are just as stupid as Republicans.

    Obama continues most of Bushs policies and YOU DUMB ASSES APLAUD HIM rofl

  • Can any guitar picker out there please tell me what Gary is doing? Looks like he is on the B string sliding from the E to maybe (?) the A on part of his solo. I'm not sure.

    Sure would like to see his solo tabbed out, if anyone knows it. Thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • YESTERDAY WAS MLK DAY BUT FOR ME IT WAS JAMES EARL RAY DAY (THE GUY WHO SHOT HIM)

  • @blackxopsxmark get the fuck out. rock and roll is about freedom and we don't need racists like you. I know there's a huge-ass confederate flag in the video but it's used as it was supposed to be in the beginning... a symbol of freedom.

  • I love the Neil Young shiert that Ronnie's wearing....BTW I think he was buried waering it.....

    :( RIP RVZ

  • WHY DOES'T ANYONE NOTICE THE FLAG?

  • @reallythatbad1 how can you not notice the flag its huge, people just dont freak out about it in the south because you see rebel flags everyday

  • @reallythatbad1 Because the flag is a symbol of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    You have to understand the Confederate flag has only recently become a symbol of hate, and even now its only seen as a symbol of hate by some.

    The south doesent think of the flag as a hate symbol, to us its a symbol of herritage.

    The flag is simply a banner of the south. Which is where Skynyrd is from.

    I still fly a Rebel flag and I dont have an ounce of hate in my heart :)

  • @TexianPride i could not say it any better.

  • @TexianPride the rebel flag = racism. it's the same thing as a klansman's hood. just because you say you don't have an ounce of hate in your heart doesn't make it okay for you to wave a swastika around either.

  • @bgoodwinster comparing a rebel flag and a swastika is like saying you had sex with a dog. It doesn't make sense. Unless you had sex with a dog. Did you? Probably. But if you did, then you don't make sense.

    Facts.

  • @tturk11 typical braindead redneck logic. reading deficit duly noted.

  • @bgoodwinster Typical yankee ignorance.

    Screw off my friend :)

  • @TexianPride

    I'm black and have a Confederate Flag because Skynyrd are my favourite band!

  • @IdiotsRUsLtd A great band indeed!

    Good to see more people seeing the flag for what it is, a symbol of the south and of some kick ass southern rock!

    God Bless, and keep that flag flyin high!

  • @IdiotsRUsLtd: Oh man; grow a pair! Let's leave that shit in the past--where it belongs. It has no place in the New South--except in a history museum.

  • @IdiotsRUsLtd Your love for Music has nothing to do with the Color of your SKIN !!!

    Great man !!!

  • @IdiotsRUsLtd Man you really don't hear that too often. I have confederate flags all in my room all over my truck but i aint racist i have mexican and black friends its just the confederate flag represents my southern heritage!

  • @IdiotsRUsLtd Right on! Most people don't realize that the Confederate flag represents a lifestyle not racism.

  • @TexianPride Well said sir

  • @tonyh32sno Thank you sir :)

  • @TexianPride: "Only recently"! Shit, the Klan's been flyin' that fucker since the '50s--some 50 years. As a Southerner it doesn't represent me. Leave that crap in the past, man. You never see the Allman Brothers engaging in this nonsense--and you never will.

  • @aarfeld The Klans been useing it for much longer then the 1950s first of all, that doesent change the fact the flag wasnt seen as a racist symbol by Americans or southerners in general.

    The Klans been using the US flag for half a century it doesent make it a hate symbol either.

    The Confederate flag is a symbol of our herritage man, if your going to deny the flag you deny your ancestors.

    You spit on your herritage and your family.

    Dont let a minority group define the flag.

  • @TexianPride: The length of time that the Klan and other hate groups have been appropriating the Confederate battle flag isn't really the point. It's a racist symbol not only for their use but for the lost cause that it originally represents. The Confederacy was only four years out of a much longer history--and a rather inglorious chapter. I'd rather celebrate that which is truly glorious and inclusive of all.

  • Part II: I'd rather not celebrate a proto-fascist movement that fought a last-ditched effort to save a dying institution--that deserved to die. A cause to hold human beings in the bonds of chattel slavery is not one worthy of honor. Some things are better cosigned to the glass case of history.

  • Wow...July 2, 1977...The day I turned 18...and I still remember it.

  • @Iamthewalrusgoogoo Day befor I turned 14

  • three months befor the plane crash. what a shame great band

  • @hoss3702 wow 

  • rip, ronnie and steve and cassie

  • Notice the REAL can of Budweiser on the piano made of steel back in the day .. also that's a real piano and this is real Rock N Roll .. the way it use to be. So crazy Ronnie thanks Peter Frampton and Bill Graham at the end. Everyone knows Peter Frampton but Google Bill Graham Rock Promoter when you get sec.

  • Ronnie didn't die!!! It's just that Jesus wanted some Vocal lessons!

  • I had just moved to the SF the year this concert was held, an old friend of mine, sound man for Lynyrd Skynard switched seats with Ronnie before the plane went down, survived. sad loss, I grew up in Alabama, and can relate to the whole message behind the song. The rebel flag has such bad imagery to me, with childhood memories of the klan, beatings, lynchings, the white supremest mentality has divided this country for generations. But otherwise, LS is a kick ass band, and I love the song.

  • @bluesmeister2006 I hope we can work to change that imagery. I'm from the South too, man. I'm white...took a black girl to prom. Not a homophobe, a racist, or any of that. We need more positive symbols in the world, and I swear this symbol was destined to represent being decent to all mankind. I hate that it has a bad perception in some people's mind due to a few assholes wearing ghost costumes...we gotta work to change this. Southern heritage should stand for righteousness.

  • @toomuchcaffeinetoday It should, but Blacks are always blowing the "Confederate Flag" thing outta proportion!!

  • @TheCatwoman61 Maybe some, but most of it, my own opinion, is a bunch of white people who don't have the backbone to stop being so politically correct. We don't get so bent out of shape about black panther symbols, and most southern blacks I know don't get nearly as upset about the Confederate flag as white people trying to pander to the idea of being a part of the "sensitive and politically correct" crowd instead of being proud of their own heritedge. Just my opinion.

  • @toomuchcaffeinetoday I agree with you totally Mate.

  • @toomuchcaffeinetoday man you hit the nail right on the head with that one

  • looks like the same stadium where the video of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song was recorded?

  • sooo bloody good love them

  • i love lynyrd skynyrd

  • Awesome :-{)

  • @voodim64 Lovin' the moustache smiley!

  • @yyyyasdf2 Good Eye <3 Thanks ~(|:-{))

  • I was at this very show! I was in high school and back then you could bring in your own camera and take pictures.Those were the days!

  • @hofnerjoe and that is when a camera was needed because they were amazing. it seems now that a camera is just needed at shows...for facebooking later..:)

  • I was in high school in Mississippi not far from the place of the plane crash when Ronnie died... will all ways remember that day

  • NICE SHIRT RONNIE

  • i wish i owned a rebel flag that big

  • @vjshecko9 I know man...me too. I just sent my friends in chicago, new york, and Japan rebel flags and muscodine wine from Mississippi. They said they'll think about the south completely different from now on after I met them, and will proudly hang it up on Robert E. Lee's birthday. This shit ain't about racism...it's about bein southern gentlemen and ladies, whether you black or white, we're equal...it's about bein decent to all humankind. I love it.

  • @vjshecko9 Me too...I'd fly it right over my house in South Central LA!! LMAO XD

  • @vjshecko9 me too! i only got a reg size

  • A SOUTHERN MAN'S SONG

  • Steve could really play. How sad we never got to see his full potential.

  • He reminds me of my mate Sparky from school days, or days of misery as I often remember them to be, apart from when the Summer sunshine came around and you knew two months of happy freedom was coming around to be enjoyed.

  • @cosmictimes im still in those days

  • Goose bumps!!!

  • YES SIR!!!!!!!

    

  • Steve deserves way more credit that he has gotten... He was amazing.

  • why...does everything have to be politized and race carded? Its just plain stupid....its about the music! Thats why this time period sucks big time and back then it was awesome. CHILL

  • @gnr119 yeah man could you like make a vid or something on how to play it so i can learn it, that would be great. a have a good guitar to play it on, it's a lespaul and it's really good for playing solo's and stuff
