[foldwad0466]

YES WIN

[wweoutsider91]

Ed king is beast one of my favorites

[NowPleaseReadThis]

triplet leads.yeah!

[cfbodman2]

All I can say is WOW

[wweoutsider91]

God i wish i could have been there

[midsizedwhiteboy]

I forgot how much Ed King's guitar playing contributed to that sound.I loved Steve Gaines playing; but watching this video reminds me of the riffs that I recognize as Skynyrd.

[budboy1988]

I love the raw grittiness of this video if you close your eyes you can imagine being in a barroom with ronnie and the boys blowin the roof off the place

[MrHideyoursheep]

Listen too my take on Eddie's solo break! It's alright.

[bearing44]

lone guitar

[bearing44]

lone guitar the camera man had it wrong, but I knew it was Allen collins

[bearing44]

Love the way they turned up Allens guitar on this number.

[bearing44]

I'm getting older but pretty cool what I can do in 4 years. 48 now and Lynyrd Skynyrd is still the best.

[AlienBusDriver]

reckon this is the period Ronnie was always gassed

[bowslap]

@AlienBusDriver Yup....right around the time when Ed&Bob split.

[7188181]

@AlienBusDriver WTF is that supposed to mean?

[AlienBusDriver]

thought Ronnie was bald on top lol,

[southernman517]

@bearing44

your welcome. it one of my favorites to.

[mike54711]

THERE SHOULD BE A I LOVE BUTTON FOR THIS SHIT !!!

[southernman517]

@mike54711

you got that right

[Shredder5190]

@southernman517 I see what you did there...even if I'm not a huge fan of the Gaines era! :D

[Bearses]

Billy Powell looks completely gassed on the keys...

[hoghash78]

Maybe this sounds strange, ...but I never heard someone play that solo as violent as Ed King.

[gamoonbat]

Mr. Yankee Slicker Al Kooper.

[Grendel53]

Wow, even w/ the crappy video sound, that was some ssssmokin hot grease.

Maybe pay me my money maybe you won't get a scar Pure badass.

[MaxVonStark]

Raw Skynyrd at their best. I love the way Ed just steps up and plays with an attitude....good Southern boys!

[troy76351]

AWESOME,THANKS FOR POSTING

[troy76351]

REST IN PEACE BROTHERS

[Bearses]

This is incredible footage. Looked how cramped the stage is for a seven piece band with the mixing board stage left. Ronnie looks a little gassed, but the guitar on the end is smoking!

[bearing44]

LYNYRD SKYNYRD

[chrism01us]

King and Gaines both rule. But if you want to know what Ed King brought to Skynyrd: Workin' For MCA, Mr. Banker, Swamp Music, Poison Whiskey, Sweet Home Alabama, Railroad Song, Whiskey Rock-A-Roller and Saturday Night Special. King wrote or co-wrote the music for all of those amazing tunes.

[jelli0823]

They opened for Queen at this concert (hence the Queen logo shown in some shots) lucky them. Tho no one holds a candle to the awesome being that is Freddie Mercury.

[Jegor666]

You can't compare Queen to Skynyrd. These are totally 2 different bands and they played totally different music man. But i agree that Freddie Mercury had awesome voice.

[Jegor666]

Hold on man. Queen is a really great band and Freddie was the best but you can't collate Lynyrd Skynyrd to Queen, these are totally two different bands, playing totally different music, but both great in their good old times.

[hoghash78]

If I created a superband - 1 of my guitar players would be Ed King.

Wish he recorded some new stuff.

[bowslap]

@bearing44 Steve Gaines was one hell of a guitarist, Ed will tell ya that much. Each man had his own strengths....man, it's like asking if you like cold beer or colder beer, either one's damned good. Ed has the advantage of having been in the band longer and being able to contribute more....his musical "stamp" is all over Second Helping(hell of a showcase for what a Strat is capable of). Steve had a sizeable presence on "Street Survivors"....too bad those lives were cut short in Oct. '77.

[suthernrocker13]

this just like the record !

[Upstatebound]

Collins, King and Rossington played these instruments as the should be, this is really deep.

[SteveGaines]

@bearing44 Not to say "Steve Smoked Ed' but go to Ed's website and he will say ' He still can't play Steve Gaines parts..They are a bear..He said Steve was a MUSICAL GENIUS..but laughs and says..Well, I don't guess he could play mine either..Scary thing..Both were born on September 14, 1949.. Best music the band ever made was when those two were in the band no doubt...

[skynyrdrocksss]

September 14, 1949 was a great day for the history of guitar players...

[johnr321111]

both born same day.........thats crazy....

[sol115rosenberg]

they had to be the biggest group of bad ass's in music at that time, yeah other bands looked like it, but skynyrd didnt just look like it, they were it....R.I.P. the greatest band ever

[7Prophet7]

Live Ed was awesome Skynyrd, so was Steve. too bad it couldntve been Ed and Steve along with Ron etc.

yep Skynyrd was the best.

[Jegor666]

How can you imagine Ed and Steve togheter? 4 guitarists? Don't forget about Allen and Gary.

[dispatchdan8]

excellent!! Ronnie without the tell tale hat...just a kid. The story of the band only to end up in a plane crash is heartbreaking. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the greatest.

[mattyboyovadanet]

where the fuck did you get this video man!!!! ive been looking live stuff with ed for a long time!

[MaxVonStark]

Ah the Skynyrd I grew up with. Southern boys with an attitude. Young here with real passion for telling Yankee slickers where to stick it!

[kevinneslund]

You need to lay off the pipe. "Leon wears a wig"? (what planet are you from?)

[guitarGUNFIGHT]

This is great stuff. Never seen this before! Thanks for putting it up man!

[southernman517]

your very welcome.

[saltwaterebel]

god damn. ed could play

[southernman517]

your welcome.

[discosucks99]

OMG!!!. I never thought I would see a clear video copy of this. Brian and Mary Nash, god bless them, sent me a free VHS many years ago but was poorer video quality.

[Aeronomer]

Man, they really lost something when Ed left the band. Thanks for the vid!

[guitarGUNFIGHT]

Yeah but they gained something when steve GAINES came into the band. He smoked ed.

[photographermatt]

Skynyrd ! Hell yeah! thanks for posting

[southernman517]

your welcome

[MyTymeBand08]

[southernman517]

[PuffyCatTail]

great vid. i wish that i were listening on my other computer. my laptop has lousy speakers. i could crank it up on my other computer. lol it might not be a good idea because it is 3:05AM. lol

happy new year and much love. :)

[southernman517]

happy new year to you to and hope you keep doing well. and glad you liked the video. i am just a huge skynyrd fan. my favorite song would have to be free bird. when my grandmother passed away that is one of the skynyrd songs we had played at her funeral it was here favorite song. then sweet home alabama. just cause my family knows she loves skynyrd. so we had two of her fav songs played. cause we knew those are two songs she would love to listen to if she were still here.
