LYNYRD SKYNYRD - T FOR TEXAS (LIVE 1976) | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@sherrelwilson7354]

I believe this is the concert where Lynyrd Skynyrd opened for the Rolling Stones and absolutely blew them outta the water! ♥️

[@helenwilliams7065]

And Ronnie walked his guitar army out onto the tongue part of the stage during Free Bird, something that was expressly forbidden by Mick Jagger.

[@mstewart109]

That hat with the big lip is a Mick Jagger fan merchandise. Lol. So yes, it was the Rolling Stones .

[@tellsingandplay]

@@helenwilliams7065 I’ve seen that video and both guitar players were hesitant but Ronnie was a hell raiser so…

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

It was August of 1976 and literally just 14 months later the plane crashed. Such a tragedy. Not only did they destroy the Stones that day but they also murdered 10cc as well. Look up the performance of the Stones and 10cc from this festival and it's astounding how much better Skynyrd was that day. David Gilmour and Paul McCartney were at this show as well and they also smoked some pot with Jack Nicholson too. LOL! Different times for sure.

[@helenwilliams7065]

@@tellsingandplay Yep, and he was the boss!

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

They are THE BEST! I love this band SO much. No, you can’t compete with this band, especially this lineup. This was in England, and they were opening for The Rolling Stones. They blew the Stones off the stage, and their manager told me Mick Jagger was furious. AND, there were three guitarists, not just two, and the bass guitarist. The camera didn’t show Gary as much as Steve and Allen, but he was, and still is an integral part of the band.

[@dingusmagee3326]

RIP Gary, you know he's rippin that slide up there for the boys

[@johndalessandro6433]

They all did solos including Billy Powell on the piano. The sound quality ain't great, for some reason you can't hear Gary's solo that good. But they all brought thier A game on this day. All respect to the Stones , in fact, it was a Stones concert that Ronnie went to that he decided thats what he wanted to do. But, I wouldn't wanna follow Skynyrd either.

[@BluesJammer69]

That was their best show on film...they opened for the Stones...and blew them off the stage...stones didn't come on stage until the crowd settled down...more than an hour later

[@ronrodermund7732]

Guitars talking to each other!

[@14gilbertst]

The drummer doesn't get enough credit. Amazing.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Artimus Pyle is an excellent drummer. Still tours with his own band.

[@vickieray]

Oh guys one of my favorites from Skynyrd 🔥🔥 They were a guitar band 🎸🎸🎸 I think I suggested this one not long ago!! So glad you did this version. The lead singer Ronnie Van Zant & the guitarist in the middle Steve Gaines were the ones that were sadly killed in the plane crash Oct 20, 1977 along with Cassie Gaines one of the back up singers & Dean Kirkpatrick their manager 😢 What a sad day that was. Any song from this performance at Knebworth is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

I begin suspect foul play with all these plane crashes. They were cheering up the planet too much.

[@msr1116]

Buying junk aircraft and pilots taking too many risks don't help.

[@bocephus124]

One guitarist picks up right where the other leaves off , and they compliment each other so well ,

[@WhizzingFish12]

They were just so overwhelmingly talented. Listen to each instrument and youll see that each and every one of them were absolutely top tier players. And the guitar interplay is just FANTASTIC how they each step forward for a blistering solo while the other support. They set each other up and hand off SO WELL. This is one of my absolutely favorite LS songs.

[@NoviJimB]

I saw them for the first time at Pine Knob (near Detroit) in June of 1976. I knew maybe four of their songs from the radio, but had never heard any of their music other than that. The live album wasn't released until that fall. The show I went to was right around the same time as this one. I had no idea what to expect. They came on and started with 'Workin' For MCA', and I was a fan for life after that first song. They were amazing. Just imagine barely knowing their music and then seeing a whole show this good. As great as they sound watching these clips, being there is just a whole different experience. They had such great energy, and every song was fantastic. I've seen Jethro Tull, Zeppelin, The Who, Ten Years After and many others, and that show was as good as any other I've been to. I saw them again that November at Ford Auditorium, and then had tickets to see them at Cobo Hall in June of 1977. That show had to be postponed until Halloween Day (Oct 31st). I was able to get several tickets about 10 rows from the stage, so we had a big group that couldn't wait to see that show and had waited for almost six months because of the postponement. They had the plane crash 11 days before that show was scheduled. Besides being a huge disappointment for us, it was a huge loss for rock and roll. What a great band. It's so nice to have live clips like this out here on KZbin so that everyone can get an idea of how great some of these bands were.

[@lorivickers6522]

This is live. Unbelievable the best ever. Have you ever heatd "call me the breeze" and "dont ask me no questions"? LOVE THEM

[@nancymartineau-bauman6018]

Great song to react too. One of my favorite bands. Can't go wrong with Lynyrd Skynyrd. So many songs to react to from them. Check out: "Tuesday's Gone", "Searching", "Traveling Man" ,"Needle and the Spoon","Free Bird -live in Oakland, just to start. I saw them live in 1976~ Great reactions guys!!

[@helenwilliams7065]

Steve Gaines looks so happy here. So young when he died, as were they all, for that matter. Just heartbreaking.

[@msr1116]

I noted Ronnie's big ole grin while marveling at Steve's skill, confident that adding him to the band was one of RVZ's best moves ever.

[@Katy_r]

Great reaction guys.They made that old song ROCK! So much energy! The slide guitar is awesome. Love the bass work.Thank you!

[@joeyricefried9621]

Such an underrated Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, one of my favorites.

[@carlosruiz-ob7le]

Espectacular actuación de Lynyrd Skynyrd!, solo quiero informarles que los guitarristas que hacen solos son 3 y no 2 como manifiestan en algún momento. Eso lo hace más valorable todavía. Es puro rock and roll, y nadie como LYNYRD SKYNYRD para hacerlo!

[@joeyricefried9621]

The Greatest American Band, imo.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

They drew some huge crowds! They were having so much fun!

[@stevielegend325]

Loving the close ups of Ronnie😍 People were just so naturally cool back then...

[@margiemcpeak9304]

🎸🎸🎸 There's that Southern Rock again‼🔥 ❤ Lynyrd Skynyrd 4EVER‼🤯

[@thomasgrammen1154]

Great job bros!!! Love the close up pics of Ronnie just taking it all in. you can tell he is just thinking how badass this band is!!! the greatest band in my opinion!! love the crowd pics they were blown away!! keep there music alive bros!!!

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

That big ole Southern grin he gives while Steve Gaines was burning it up is forever burned into my mind. Ronnie was an absolute genius and who knows how big he could have been if not for that idiotic plane.

[@dennisjknudsen983]

Yep.....they said they would blow The Stones off the stage.....and they did...

[@GBeret83]

Even the roadies reeked of talent for Skynyrd. Saw this line-up in September, 1976 when Steve Gaines had literally been in the band about 3 months at that point and I don't have the words to even describe what an incredible live show this band played. Nobody did it better live than Lynyrd Skynyrd!!

[@margaretervin8895]

Don't forget the drummer , he kept it reved up love his work

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

I saw Lynard Skynard live! The American flag is NEVER to touch the ground…….I’m singing along!😘😘❤️🇺🇦❤️

[@sherryarflin726]

It is. Was in the UK. Supposedly the walk out from the stage was a replica of a big tongue from their Sticky Fingers Album. Mick Jagger passed the word around that no other groups were allowed to go out on it. It was just for them. Well, knowing Ronnie Van Zant that didn’t go very well with him. So when Skynyrd went out to perform he pushed his guitarist Steve, Gary and Allen out there just to piss Jagger off. However I believe it was just when they were performing Free Bird. Now, I don’t know if this is true but when they were leaving the stage it was said that Van Zant passed Jagger and flipped him off letting him know he didn’t listen to him. Like I said I don’t know if that part is true but knowing Van Zant, yeah I could see it happening. News articles did say Skynyrd did blow The Stones performance away. They also said that by the time the Stones came out they were three sheets in the wind !! Would have loved to be there also! This was supposed to have been one of their best performances.

[@stevenguild2707]

Lynyrd Skynyrd doesn’t create songs, they create Anthems.

[@phonebone81]

I`ve seen L.S. three times here in hamburg, germany at the Stadtpark (city park) and everything it was a big party. Thanks guys for sharing !!!

[@jamnjimmy4502]

Gentlemen. Point of clarification. Lynyrd Skynyrd had THREE GUITARISTS at this concert. THREE of the baddest ass guitarists to EVER play Rock N Roll, Southern Rock, Southern Blues Rock. They were Alan Collins. Gary Rossington. Steve Gaines (who replaced Ed King). Steve was better than Ed in my opinion. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the GREATEST AMERICAN MADE BAND IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK N ROLL. They are my favorite band in the HISTORY or recorded music. I’d put their music and musicians along side ANY who ever play. Listen to their entire collection. Listen to every live video that you can find here on KZbin. Put it along side any other Rock N Roll Band. Listen to one. Then listen to the other. Ain’t gonna find ANYTHING better. Skynyrd til I die😎😎😎

[@lancerx1759]

If I'm not mistaken this was recorded in Knebworth mates

[@skydog6376]

I never miss your reactions ….you guys rock just like this tune ✌️

[@doncourtreporter]

at 5:42 when you said "Now another one came," those two were the original two gituarists, Allen Collins and Gary Rossington. Add singer Ronnie Van Vant with those two and that's the original band left at the time of the video. We called it southern rock.

[@joannparker1977]

👍🏼 Shout out from Austin Texas!

[@howardpeach8418]

Love y'all Bros! Texas became a state thanks to Tennessee volunteers who gave their lives at the Alamo. Texas and Tennessee are bros! I have lived both halves of my life in both states! Never date a girl name Thelma, woman made a fool out of me too (no shit)! The song is mine, Skynyrd wrote it for me (just kiddin', but it's all true what I say)! Was so disappointed when Allen Collins strings broke when it was his turn to solo! He was always my favorite! Enjoyed it very much, the crowd never saw it coming!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Check out the live audio of this from their classic double live album, one more from the road, not long before the plane crash. Leon Wilkerson on base is just a savage beast on this. It's just insane, you've got to hear it with that fidelity.

[@SIXX2772]

Best live band of all time!!!!

[@dougwill8850]

3 guitar players. Triple threat they called it.

[@seanok3498]

Just watched your reaction and joined in with the rock . 🤘

[@scuppernog1]

"Gimme Three Steps " and "That Smell " are must sees.

[@danielslover8669]

I am so glad y’all reacted to this song! It’s one of my favorites from Skynyrd. Could you check out “Honky tonk nighttime man “ , “the needle and the spoon’ , “searching “ or “traveling man “ ? That’s just a start, but these are similar style songs

[@williamcabell142]

Now that is they one, and only Country Rock Band! EVER! Only one Beatles Only one Led Zeppelin, Only one Eagles Only one Yes etc. Dig! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@larrybailey408]

Yea Bros, You should listen to the Outlaws, Green grass & high tides it's jammer like Freebird, they're buds with Skynyrd toured with them alot. I seen together 2 times in California. Green Grass & High Tides. Outlaws !

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

They were amazing when they got those geetars going.

[@helenwilliams7065]

Yes, Skynyrd totally blew the Stones out of the water. You'd think the Stones would be more careful in their choice of opening band, but no, I saw them in Houston with ZZTop opening, and that 3 man "little band from Texas" made the Stones sound like a poorly mixed garage band.

[@smb60usa]

I really enjoy your channel guys!! Since you love the guitar solos so much, you really, really need to check out T for Texas 7/13/77 Convention Hall (official). They concentrate on the person that is soloing. Believe me you will absolutely LOVE this live version. Scott B.

[@dmCurator]

I don't think they ever played it better than that, and I think it was always one of the strongest songs in their live sets.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

It's on the Live album, ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD.

[@Az777]

HowdY from Texas!

[@carollittle1059]

Hey Bros, huge band with huge hits

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Waylon Jennings did this! Oh! The Outlaws! Y’all gotta hear them!😘😘❤️🇺🇦❤️

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

This is a cover, can't remember who did the original. Texas gained Independence with the help of Davey Crockett and his Tennesseans at the battle of The Alamo

[@rickward460]

Keep your head low! Spread the love and hollar if you need backup😎🇺🇸

[@dougieyou]

Awesome, I always love the guitars but Billy Powell on that piano is awesome, he always blows me away on any of the tracks they do, he's the backbone baby.....

[@sherrelwilson7354]

Check out Things goin on & Mississippi Kid please!!

Greatest concert ever Freebird The Movie. Sends me

[@todd8414]

Listen to the album version of That Smell by them! Their best song and best guitar! A classic!

Find the "One more from the road" live album version of this song. Much better version.

[@wallyh24]

Steve Gaines getting zero love from the camera man on this one...amazing guitarist

[@royalway12]

American Southern Rock.

[@jamesobryant5638]

Y’all need to look up the way they used to rehearse in what they called the hot house then you will start to understand lynerd skynerd

[@ronrodermund7732]

Never another Jam like this! Gaines would have become the best!

Jimmie Rodger's song.

[@davemulka18]

Hi Bros, check out Alice Cooper, Halo of Flys.Hevent heard much Alice

[@dmCurator]

I'm not hearing any overdubs. It sounds like a raw feed off of the soundboard with minimal processing. The band is tight. The limited camera angles tells me they never intended for this to be released. This was pieced together. Wow.

[@patriciaburnett232]

That's in Memphis Tennessee

[@patriciaburnett232]

I'm in Texas

[@rayduncan7703]

Don't let that flag hit the ground

[@charlesbukowski9836]

At this concert, Mick Jagger did not want Ronnie to walk on the giant tongue on the stage... Ronnie did it anyway... Jagger go so mad that he went to confront Ronnie .. but people told him that he shouldn't even think about getting crazy because Mick would be knocked the fuck out..... Ronnie had hands.. he was training to be a boxer before music... Ronnie got into a lot of fights... they did not really have to have security.. the band was the security.. another story is that when they were there in England they went to a bar and lo' and behold the English Olympic boxing team was there too and well, a huge fight started.... everybody was knocked out except Ronnie who was able to fight all of them off of him and got up outa there....

[@marcdewey1242]

The version off of One more from the road is better

[@natev1956]

At least the guy on the right was rocking out TO AN AMAZING song,,,the guy on the left look like he was reading the Magna Carta. To him; Please dont show any emotiions/reactions and be a STIFF especially in a REACTIONS VIDEO. Why are you even here?
