Thank you everyone for your comments. Yes, Kathy and Donna knew that it wasn't a cigarette! However, we chose not to correct Lulu to let her keep her innocence a little bit longer. We promise we will tell her one day lol.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the name of the band, not the singer (Ronnie Van Sant). Great reaction. I saw them in June 1977 at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium. The lineup that day was J. Giles Band, Dicky Betts With Great Southern (Dicky was from The Allman Brothers), Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton, who had the biggest album in the world at that time. It was a beautiful day. I was 16 years old and my girlfriend was 14. We were about 30 feet from the stage. It's an experience I will never forget. Thanks for the memory.

[@natev1956]

So that would put you at about 62 years old? Must have been a hell of a show at JFK Stadium and what a beautiful memory of you 16 with your girlfriend it was 14 did you guys end up getting married having kids? (BTW it's Van Zant with a Z)

[@matthewpaul1111]

Yes smoking up at concerts was very common back in the late 70's. I remember seeing the great group, ''Heart'' at the Hockey Arena and my group and about 20-25 people in 3 rows of seats passing around several spliffs and pipes and great clouds of smoke rising upwards. I'm pretty certain some people around us got high for free LOL The few cops in the Arena didn't dare bust anyone as they knew that could very well start a riot.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

My, my, my ... such a sweet-sounding, tender break-up song by a southern rock band?! Don't be fooled, kiddos; for those of you who have never heard this song before (whether this version or on an album), don't get lulled into a false sense of safety! Buckle your seatbelt, put on a helmet, and RIDE THAT RIDE! Watch for the brunette lady wearing aviator sun glasses clapping her hands over her head and HANG ON! This IS THE BEST version ever!

Ah, some additional information. They were in 77 in Great Britain, they were on the stage before the Rolling Stones (and it was forbidden to go out on the tongue). The crowd turned absolute crazy... later the Stones played. Then they asked what encore they wanted. The crowd called "Free Bird". That is the absolute insult to every other band, because NOBODY could play Freebird without training weeks or months for it. There is even a meme about "Free bird" for other bands to be demanded to play :D

[@AgenteusaRR]

Grandma is like "yep, those were the boys!!" :D

[@machfront]

So sad that later in 1977 we lost the lead singer Ronnie VanZant, the (then newest addition and outstandingly talented) guitarist Steve Gaines (shorter hair and beard in this vid) and his sister, back-up singer Cassie Gaines in a plane crash. It took them many years to come back but they finally did with Ronnie’s youngest brother Johnny VanZant as the lead vocalist in the very late 80s. I saw them a handful of times live between 1990 and 1996 in my teens and early twenties and they always always shook the ground! We’ve now lost every single original member of this amazing group but there is NO doubt their legacy will remain.

Saw them in Little Rock in the mid 70’s and the intensity was off the charts. About 1/2 way through Freebird some tall, blond, long haired guy walks out on stage wearing nothing but cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Yes, butt naked! He stands there grooving to the song while the band is tearing it up. The band is loving it, the crowd is loving it and when security starts to go out and remove him the band says leave him alone. Unforgettable! Of course he’s high, drunk or all the above. Finally after he’s up there for 5-10 minutes they haul him off. Whoever you are man, if you ever see this, from me to you and I’m sure I speak for hundreds of other people, “Thank You for making an awesome concert even more unforgettable than it would’ve been”.

This concert was in Oakland, California, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, at the time in the Summer of 1977 it was the home of the great Oakland Raiders, The Oakland A's and the Golden State Warriors next door at the Arena.

Sadly the lead singer, and guitarist Stevie Gaines, the one on the left of the stage and his sister Cassie, a back up singer were killed when the entire bands plane went down and crashed in Mississippi in Oct 1977 about 3 months after this concert. They were in their peak at the time of this show. Incredible band.

In the mid 70s, my cousin from New York moved out to California where I was living. I played this cassette in my truck constantly whenever she and I would go out together. I think it drove her a little crazy but this song was an anthem to me in those days. She eventually moved back to New York. 😁

I knew from the moment I heard Donna's sweet Southern accent I'd love you galls. Im Canadian, lived down south for couple years when high school, many moons ago. Its so cute at 0.48 while talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd Lulu says, " ive never heard of him" 😅 like as if Ronnie Van Zant is aka Lynyrd Skynyrd... They named the band after their gym teacher who died in 2010. No one in the band actually has the name Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have four daughter's and one of them around your age thought the same. No worries. In fact many adults make the same mistake thinking that the lead singer is Lynyrd Skynyrd😅😅😅 and just a thing so many of these girls in the crowd back in 76 are all ol' Grandma's now. My colleague one of our contracts we do saw Lynyrd Skynyrd live about 3 weeks ago with ZZ Top up here in Canada said they put on a great show although there's no original members left their kind of like a cover band now sadly. Gary rossington playing that beautiful slide guitar at the beginning was the last original member to die in March of this year. In my opinion they should put Artemis the drummer from the show you're watching here back in the band he's the only guy still alive from back then.

The weekend we all found out about the plane crash, the tower record stores were rushed, all their albums sold out. There was a guitar center store on Bascom Ave. where celebrity musicians would show up from time to time. Guitarist grown men were balling like children.

Well-played, grandma, on Lulu's comment on the two guys sharing a "cigarette." Too funny. I saw them in Athens, GA before they were this big. Opening act was Mother's Finest, which you guys may have heard of and would enjoy checking out, too. I'm sure grandpa knows them. Enjoyed your reaction!

The purpose of the beer was not to get a buzz but to cool him down as they also gave beer to football players. This was before Gatorade. They did think it had a cooling effect.
