Saw Lynyrd Sknyrd with the Outlaws, July 2, 1976 at Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio. 2 days before the Bi-Centennial. There was this maniac up in the seats, throwing cherry bombs or M-80's into the crowd on the floor. F*ck. All of a sudden you'd see this flash, then hear a loudass BANG! Remember M-80's? After about 5 of em getting thrown in the crowd, Ronnie Van Zant stops the show. He said" Ok, i know its the Bi-Centennial, and all, but whoever is throwin the M-80's, you better quit or we're gonna quit playin for the night. And some people out there knows who's throwin em. If 1 more goes off, we're done!". Not another one went off. Haha. True story, i swear.

[@bill29-g3b]

I don't know if you'll read this but I was in Dayton for a season long ago and was talked into "crashing the gate" at the Hara Arena. It was Styx and Van Halen. We waited in the shadows and we all took off at the doors that were open. I ran inside and heard the bouncer yell "Hey!". I was booking it fast. He couldn't catch me. Then I ran slam into this big guy with two beers in his hands. It was like a still photo shot in my memory of his face looking at all that beer flying up in the air. I said, "Sorry bro" and hauled ass. I'd never done anything like that before.

[@garyhileman4985]

I was only 17 years old when my mom told me there had been a plane crash and some people from Lynyrd Skynyrd had been killed. My heart sank when I learned who was killed. I never got to hear the original band perform and to this day I feel like I've missed something special. I'm convinced if Ronnie's IQ had been tested he would have been a certified genius. Though he couldn't play an instrument, his ability to formulate lyrics in his brain and recall them without writing them down combined with his ability to hear songs and arrangements and instruments in his head then make it all work perfectly is genius. Two years ago I was passing through Florida and realized I was going to be near the cemetery where the band is buried. It was only 45 minutes before the cemetery closed so I made a quick detour. After paying my respects at Ronnie, Leon and Billy's gravesites, I got into my car to go to the other graves. When the the engine started the radio was already on and the first sound out of it was the intro to Sweet Home Alabama. I literally started to chill and tears came to my eyes. It was almost like the guys were saying, "Thanks for coming by to hang out with us for a few minutes." "Fly on Freebird(s)".

Well, darlin' , welcome to the land of blessed ears! This song is a J.J.Cale number covered by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The album "Second Helping" was recorded in Mussel Shoals, Alabama and was possibly the first time Billy Powell (RIP) was recorded playing piano.

This is when they picked up Steve Gains and he brought a whole new sound to the band and it really excelled skynyrd to stardom. This is when they stared their imb back from the bottom. Just a few short yeats later their plane would crash. "Give me back my bullets" would be redone with Johnny Van Zant and their new lead Ricky Meadlock. In 1986, Rick goes to town on that solo.

[@spideydew20]

Greatest southern rock band ever? Thoughts, please....

[@VilliViking]

Hands Down... Not just the Southern Rock genre, but to me the very definition of Rock N' Roll. You have to be a southerner to be able to play with such soul and feeling these guys had.

[@budjohle8250]

best southern rock band then and NOW

[@asquirrelnow4758]

Timeless, the definition of Southern Rock

[@truckinfam2207]

GREATEST OF ALL. NO DOUBT

[@rimetime6423]

Gary is often just flawless on the guitar

[@Dagger_323]

He's the most underrated of all the guitarists in the band. I wouldn't flat out call him the best but he's certainly every bit as good as Ed or Allen or Steve, in his own way. He was probably the most solid player in the band, and personally he's my biggest influence and the main reason I started playing guitar in the first place. Always been a huge fan of Gary!

[@rimetime6423]

Gary has great feel and style.

[@brianlewis4941]

Comparing Gary, Allen, and Steve is like comparing Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds.

In my opinion this is where the bar was set. I measure most what I listen to this hypnotic sound. Few come close to it. Puts a smile on my face every time.

What a kick ass band,they blew the Stones off the stage when they opened for them

[@johnolson5089]

1973 Seattle Coliseum, man that was fun

[@cathode-kits1894]

But its was seeing Mick Jagger and the Stones on TV in 1964 that inspired Ronnie to start a band. But In 76 , the Stones had lost their lead guitar player the great Mick Taylor and were never the same with Ronnie Wood.

[@PolPotsPieHole]

blew the Stones away...ha ha sure maybe it was a kick ass show with two top tier bands, thats what it was

[@LT1HILLINGHOE]

@@PolPotsPieHole Skynyrd blew away the Stones. No comparison. None.

[@dnews9519]

@@LT1HILLINGHOE I love Skynyrd and I love the Stones. There is no comparison because it's like comparing apples and oranges. Both bands played a completely different style. The Stones are blues and 50s rock and roll based whereas Skynyrd was blues and honky tonk based. Both very different but very cool.

[@davidburkett8951]

turned 60 last week and this sounds as good today at 60 as it did when i was 14 one of the best southern rock bands ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eeyoresgal3270]

Mike Hand My good friend Patsy K was driving home that night and saw the plane go down from the highway. Didn't know of course that it was Skynyrd.

[@yahoogy]

I saw them live concert twice in the Sacramento area befor the crash.All I can say is Van zant-Rosington/collins,Artimus...

[@dmotta2811]

I saw them in Anaheim California a couple of months before the crash. It was devastating.

This whole Knebworth thing is great stuff. The band was flying high with an integrated Steve Gaines. They played the snot out of every tune! If you can't foot stomp to this, check your pulse.

[@KennethDawson-zv8rn]

Best thing to do! Now are we clear!

[@greghelm3616]

Billy Powell 's fingers dancing on those keys!!!

[@goesfastandfar]

I was always blown away by just how much talent these guys had. There has been some great southern rockabilly bands through the years, but nothing with the extensive "orchestrial" combination that Skynyrd put out song after song. These guys could've just as easily put on tuxedos and played at high-ball dinner parties in the best symphonies in New York then, and now. Amazing talent from every member!

[@softhotty]

Better have alotta greenbacks to have made that happen. Nah bra, tuxedos, orchestra ? Nuthin doin, nuthin fancy. Youd had to hog tie these bruthas to do sumthn like that....aint happenin. Barefoot, in the dirt, outside in the breeze...ok. New York, tuxedos, high-ball dinner parties? ...nahhhh, no thanks.

[@michaeldavis7541]

Thank God for Skynyrd, Ronnie Van Zant. Greatest Band that ever lived. Much love from India.

From India? Very cool! Do you folks have good record stores there? Just curious.

i am so glad i grew up on this. I am southern born and i love my south! Skynyrd is still the greatest Southern rock band ever!

Lucky you I had tickets for Madison square garden playing with Ted nugent. We lost them 3 weeks before that.

[@slvrfx55]

4th of July 1976, LS was in Memphis, Liberty Stadium. The show started with The Outlaws, Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top came on just about dark. Was blown away, literally!!! Those were the days!! Sometime while The Outlaws were playing the stage was filled with guitar players, you know the bands were partying too!! Great memories!! Wish it had been recorded.

[@bradwetzel4006]

Just sitting here soaking it all in. Skynyrd used to reverberate through my bedroom walls as my brother began his wake up routine in the room next to mine. Don't have the words to articulate what I think of one of the Greatest Bands Ever!

[@calebvincent8605]

Man that guy at 1:49 was really feeling it! Lol wish I could feel like that all the time

[@bananka4905]

Ronnie didnt prance on the stage but you can see by his body movements he was totally in tune with the music.. Excellent band. We fail to mention Artemis' drumming. Right on cue

[@bobbynolen154]

Yep He's a way underrated drummer!!!

My dad had a band in the 40's after WW2. He said the most important person was the drummer. The drummer has to be ever so slightly faster than the rest of the band to keep a consistent pace. Always remembered that.

[@めににりとれしり]

He is and I got the pleasure of meeting him and watching him perform and he gave me an autograph for my dad 🩷
