This is the original Skynyrd with Bob Burns on drums, there will never be another band as good as Skynyrd, plane crash and all that, and still one original memeber still rockin, SKYNYRD FOREVER!!!!
@goatmeat1121 ~ Music Corp. of America, founded in 1934 - 67' as Decca, MCA Records was an American-based record company owned by MCA Inc., which later gave way to the larger MCA Music Entertainment Group (now Universal Music Group), of which MCA Records was still part. MCA Records was absorbed by Geffen Records in 2003. MCA's country division, MCA Nashville Records, is a still active imprint of Universal Music Group Nashville.
What stupid MF thinks their lipsynching? You must not know anything about this band. Oh and as for the flag issue. YOU WEAR YOUR X AND I'LL WEAR MINE!!!
@yitzchak13 Really? Get over the Confederate flag thing, man! What if Southerners said the same thing about the American flag? Would that make you feel better? Read your history books, my friend.
@777notw Yankee living in the south 20 yrs-the Rebel flag didnt mean to Ronnie what it means to most southerns now days.To Ronnie & EARLY Skynyrd it was a southern pride symbol,not hate.Ronnie VanZandt had no hate in is heart - example he wanted to ban ALL Guns & if thats not enough listen & understand the music.Not only is he missed for his music but for how he could have maybe changed the way we think about each other.Don`t disrespect the man or the original version of the band with politics.
@NotJoe101 I completely agree with you, man. It's sad that the Confederate flag is seen as some symbol of hatred. I'm a Yankee myself and I don't make any connection with any form of hate when I think of the Stars and Bars. I'm a Civil War buff and I understand why the South fought the war and it was not all about slavery and hating African Americans. That's why I made the history book comment. By the way, there's not a racist bone in my body. It's sad that racism is connected with that flag.
@rosepetal108 I apologize for the wording of my comment. What I had meant to say was that the Civil War was not just about slavery. There were other causes: party politics, Abolitionism, Southern nationalism, Northern nationalism, expansionism, sectionalism, economics, etc.
The gist of my comment was that it is unfortunate that the Southern flag - which, correct me if I am wrong, was not originally intended to be a symbol of hatred - is seen as such today. Radical groups use it - that's wrong.
@777notw Using the flag as a symbol for protest is every Americans right. The people who use it to symbolize Southern pride have every right to use it and also the people who use it to protest Southern attitudes and issues have every right to use it.
Flags are by their very nature symbols. That is their purpose.
None--even the parts of the South occupied by the Union were not free. The Emancipation Proclamation exempted by name counties and parishes that were in Union control, and explicitly applied only to areas in rebellion. It intentionally did not apply to those living in slavery in the Union states.
@stevebrownrocks Owning slaves is not a "heritage". Nor is it what southerners are proud of. Only idiots believe that. Certainly Lynyrd Skynyrd fought against racism every chance they could. The whole point is you can be proud of being a southerner and be against racism same time. Something Yanks just don't seem to understand. It is their own special form of bigotry.
I meant my family has lived in Ga. since before the Civil War. It had nothing to do w/ slavery, & Southern Rock is my heritage. How did you get slavery out of what I said? BTW, the Civil War was NOT fought over slavery. It was about the rights of Southern states to govern themselves & set their own taxes & such. LINCOLN made it about slavery so as to deter the British from intervention on the South's behalf.
Sorry, but the War was NOT about slavery. & Lincoln was no abolitionist, he was a fence-sitter. He was just like any other politician, he said what he thought the voters wanted to hear. He made slavery an issue only to try to prevent England from breaking the Union blockade of the South, as England & France had already abolished slavery. Another thing; only about 2% of Southerners owned slaves, & they were the big plantation owners.
@stevebrownrocks On October 16, 1854, in his "Peoria Speech", Lincoln declared his opposition to slavery, which he repeated en route to the presidency. Opposition to slavery is "abolitionist". Which Lincoln clearly was an abolitionist. However he was a politician and a moderate willing to make political compromises.....until the South walked out on the Union and started the war...leaving him no choices. He wasn't even inaugurated yet when the South left BECAUSE he was an abolitionist.
@NotJoe101 to say what it means to "most" you would have to know "most" and you don't know me.I don't care about his politics or yours anymore than I do Elton John's I just listen to the music and enjoy it. I make up my own mind.
@NotJoe101 He didn't want to ban all guns only hand guns. Listen to the song he is talking specifically about the 38 special which at the time was known for backfiring alot. Ronnie was an avid outdoorsman. He was a hunter and a fisherman.
Ronnie Van Zant was not the most talented poet, or musician that ever lived, but he was pretty darn good, and may he definitely rest in peace ( in his neil young shirt)

I agree with whoever said it's the studio version over footage. I doubt very seriously if these boys would relent too lip sync anything. That just wasn't their way, they had too much pride.
Seeing Bob Burns and Ed King in this video takes my breath away...that was a genre that Southern Rock still has to live up to....Nobody like Skynyrd EVER!!!
@jazzermonk This was before Gaines and even Artimus Pyle . This almost original skynyrd with Bob Burns on drums and Ed king on guitar. Even still , The studio version is transposed over the footage . Not lip synking
@mikeof59 That's what I was thinking too! maybe 73 or 74? Good to see footage with them playing. Also, billy Powell with no mustache! Love his t-shirt too, My Grass Is Blue!
@rockbandrocker4 Has it occurred to you that footage of Ronnie and the boys, lip syncing or not, is hard to come by and most of the true fans don't really give a rat's ass if it is...
Whoa! This is a rare site indeed with Bob Burns and Ed King in a video - I've never seen a video with them in it. Thanks for sharing and RIP to all the FreeBirds we lost over the years.
Ed King got sick of the constant one night stands that went on fore ever and bob burns got sick of what he considered some uppity self riotiouss feelings some of the guys in the band began to develop when they began to have a bit of success. This is just from what ive read over the years but ive read it from more than one source and it sounds quite plausible.
Not to be a downer, and I love vintage video of the ONLY Skynyrd band, but this is footage with the single dubbed over it. (I think most fans know this). RVZRIP
Really you bought a piece of the ole oak tree? if so getting my saw and heading over to do some triming. Well at night. Wont be my first time at doing midnight landscaping..
Yes, it's the album version, truly lip synched here. It's done all too often, usually not at the bands' request either. The venue just isn't set up for a full on rock band to plug in and play.
Honestly, I doubt it was a "venue" issue, it's just an old-school promo clip...MTV's distant ancestor. It is cool that there are amps set up to make it come off more real, though. BTW, your screen name rocks dude. Skynyrd were the original rockin' rednecks, so you're in fantastic company!!
I wish someone would also post the rare song Ronnie wrote "Song for the bad man".I saw/heard it on television once in a documentary,but never have saw it on any album from first to last.I hope I recorded it on VHS,but I have a lot to look through and not sure who to respectfully ask if I can upload it here if I even find it.Thanks for uploading this song.
Hi, my name is Remington Draper and I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ in the summer of 2003 because I realized that I had broken God's Commandments and that He was going to judge me by them of judgment day. The same is true for everyone reading this. The good news is God Loves You! and sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins and if your willing to repent (which means to turn away from your sin) and put your trust in the Lord Jesus only to save you, He will and give you eternal life.
I totally feel it phllylama, I am 46 with my 19 month old sitting on my lap, listening to the old studio versions, remembering, wishing it could have been different with Ronnie, Steve and Cassie, way back when...
LOL. At 44 I hear ya boys. But fortunately we did experience this stuff when we were young, great music, and it left an indellible impression on us. Still moves me to my core! God bless them for their timeless contribution to us all. Skynyrd!
well lynyrd skynyrd did make remakes of other ppls songs, but they changed the rythem, call me the breeze was wrote by jj cale, t for texas t for tennesee was by jimmy rodgers, cross roads by cream, allen collins was a eric clapton fan..lol anyways skynyrd is the bomb ling live skynyrd music, rock legends at there prime everyone needs to enjoy there music and not argue over it it, peace and have fun, skynyrd forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyones MIMICS old bluesmen because it was pure good music and they started Rock N roll. I wish someone today would try it cuz the music now suckS!!! Stop posting Kings of Leon too, they are not even in the same league as anything Skynyrd wrote.
AND YOK CONKKNUE KALKKNG YOK KKCH.

@777notw While I agree with some of what you say, you are wrong about the war not being fought over slavery.
Civil War was all about slavery and no coincidence that the dividing line was between free and slave States.
The appologist theory that it was over "States Rights" fails to aknowlege that the "States Right" in question was the right of slavery.
Abraham Lincoln was a well known and published abolitionist.

Honestly, I doubt it was a "venue" issue, it's just an old-school promo clip...MTV's distant ancestor. It is cool that there are amps set up to make it come off more real, though. BTW, your screen name rocks dude. Skynyrd were the original rockin' rednecks, so you're in fantastic company!!

Wild educated guess, about 1973 or 74 . Ed King and Bob Burns left mid year in 74.

I wish someone would also post the rare song Ronnie wrote "Song for the bad man".I saw/heard it on television once in a documentary,but never have saw it on any album from first to last.I hope I recorded it on VHS,but I have a lot to look through and not sure who to respectfully ask if I can upload it here if I even find it.Thanks for uploading this song.

Hi, my name is Remington Draper and I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ in the summer of 2003 because I realized that I had broken God's Commandments and that He was going to judge me by them of judgment day. The same is true for everyone reading this. The good news is God Loves You! and sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins and if your willing to repent (which means to turn away from your sin) and put your trust in the Lord Jesus only to save you, He will and give you eternal life.

I totally feel it phllylama, I am 46 with my 19 month old sitting on my lap, listening to the old studio versions, remembering, wishing it could have been different with Ronnie, Steve and Cassie, way back when...

LOL. At 44 I hear ya boys. But fortunately we did experience this stuff when we were young, great music, and it left an indellible impression on us. Still moves me to my core! God bless them for their timeless contribution to us all. Skynyrd!

Everyones MIMICS old bluesmen because it was pure good music and they started Rock N roll. I wish someone today would try it cuz the music now suckS!!! Stop posting Kings of Leon too, they are not even in the same league as anything Skynyrd wrote.

why does EVERYONE steal from the old bluesmen? man influenced is one thing but some of the songs from the 70's and on were just blatantly stolen.
this song is an exception because only the chorus was taken from a bb king song

is it a lip synch job? the guitars appear to be plugged in. I know that in newer music vid's the guitars are not usally plugged in if its a dub over.
