[@nataliegilbreth6614]

No such thing as sunscreen, huh? The place is glowing pink. My boyfriend always wanted me to sit on his shoulders and he'd be eating handfuls of shrooms, smoking Columbian gold, probably already shared a fifth - he never dropped me, but I have no idea how he stayed up! Partied hard and went to see just about everyone that came to Texas. youtube almost takes you there. And thanks for uploading the whole fabulous concert!

[@maggieg60]

Amen! Some of the greatest days of my life.

[@michaelperry122]

I was at this concert, 18 years old, just graduated high school. What a day it was. Music was hot, weather was hot, chicks were hot! So happy I was able to see Skynyrd in person before the devastating plane crash. They were so good and the best was still ahead of them. The songs/music the world lost, what a shame. Frampton and Santana were great that day too, great times that are long gone forever......

[@juansarabia7530]

I too was there as a 20 something year old.

[@betsylbigelow]

A great show...I was there, too 😎

[@BillGorman]

I was there too, but a year older than you, from Fremont.

[@debw9351]

I was there too. I was only 13 years old and went with my friends who are 14 and 16 years old definitely was a hot day and the best concert I have ever been to!! Lynyrd Skynyrd completely rocked! Though I loved everybody that played that day! I really love Peter Frampton and Elton John and Santana but we were all there to see Lynyrd Skynyrd!! But I also really wanted to see Elton John. So many good memories of those days and the music. So glad I was able to be in that time.

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Oh God yes, I want my 1977 back. I turned 12 that October 13th. The plane of the GREATEST BAND EVER- LYNYRD SKYNYRD went down 7 days later. That is 7 DAYS into my 13th YEAR. And as of the day of this July 77' concert, I had been playing guitar for about 2 weeks. Music became my life! Steve Gains is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so so sad his life was cut short that tragic day, but so wonderful to know that his talent just sneaked by as the 4th 6-steel string slinger of Skynyrd's lineup. People say, "Steve Gains would have become a legend!" No, he IS A LEGEND!

What was your impression of them that day?

[@kellyelizabeth1575]

I watch this as much for the crowd as I do for Lynard Skynard. I miss the 70’s and the joy I felt back then. Life was so uncomplicated. I can feel what it was like back just by watching the crowd. We went and did things back then and no one sat around inside or on their pc’s or phones (and not one overweight person or cell phone in that crowd anywhere!!) I miss those days and hate that my kids don’t know life like I did back then. Best days of my life ❤

Ronnie always went barefoot also. He was a southern badass.the whole band!

[@jdmvogel]

Ronnie Van Zant was the fucking man. He led his band like nobody else ever has. The way he walked, the way he talked, he was not to be fucked with and that band knew who ran the show and he led them the right way. They blew up faster and bigger than anyone else behind Ronnie’s leadership. It’s crazy what he was able to do making the decisions for the band and doing so without any advising or any experience with such pressure and superstardom...doing so and being smart enough to turn down a lot of money knowing they’re worth more money.

Somewhere, out in that crowd, I was standing, with 4 of my shipmates. Had no idea who the hell these guys were. Found that out later after buying their LPs. We bought "dirt weed", that we smoked and smoked and smoked, and convinced ourselves we were high. Great concert that day.

[@kewlbreez77]

in '77 I had some Japanese friends who a couple of them 1 time bought some weed, they couldn't understand why they didn't get high from it, so one of em asks me, being American, to check it out... I took a whiff in their baggie and told em, basically, they could put it on their pizza and eat it! I then explained how some dirtbags mixed cheap Mexican weed w/ basil & oregano... to sell it to unsuspecting "rookies", that's how it was explained to me in '75-'76. Yeah, life's a good teacher, hopefully people learn from experience.

Yes, those tube tops and over the shoulder boulder holders! 😂

Beautiful flag 😍

I always have mixed feelings when watching these old Skynyrd performances. On one hand, the music is brilliant and timeless. On the other hand, it is heartbreaking to watch this knowing what ghastly fate awaited these vibrant, talented young people only a short time later. Of the 10 band members on that stage, 3 died in their 20s, 1 in his 30s, 1 in his 40s, and 2 in their 50s. Sad.

[@po5541]

Yes same here so sad

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Very sad and very disturbing!

In deutsch: das wirft einige Fragen über unsere Gesellschaft auf! It s the same in Switzerland: Society really sucks

[@mr.breeze8796]

We are all sad about what happened. But when I hear Skynyrd a huge grin comes across my face and I just let myself enjoy this great music. What a waste to just sit around and mourn and be sad. That's not what this music is about. It's about enjoying life and having a shit-kickin good time enjoying this timeless music. Put a stiff drink in my hand and turn it up as loud as possible and I'm in hog heaven with the biggest shit-eaten grin you ever saw. And I'll be toe tappin and knee slappin and singing to the top of my lungs

We never know what not where life has in store for us.

Best southern rock band on the planet

[@stevemason5173]

I was at this concert helping out back stage. This was one "ROCKIN" concert when Skynyrd hit the stage. It totally "SUCKS" to High Heaven that there will never be a concert like this again. I no longer got home from Oakland California to Columbus Ohio and I heard the breaking news of the plane crash. 109 days later and tragedy struck. As I watch them from the front in this video, It's shocking that not one of them had a clue what the short future held. God Bless them all and hope they have Heaven rockin for when we all get there...

[@feellucky271]

Actually I believe it was Miss Hawkins,one of the Honkettes grandmother had A dream,a premonition type dream that the plane would crash and so Miss Hawkins refused to board and go with them that night and consequently she didn't crash in Mississippi with Ronnie,Cassie and Steve and the rest of the band and crew. Hman intuition is a powerful and strange thing. Another gift from the good Lord I guess. Take care.

[@stevemason5173]

@@feellucky271 ~ I saw an interview where several members didn't want to board the plane, but Ronnie told them "If it's your time, It's your time" and if they didn't get on the plane they were fired. That's why Miss JoJo Hawkins was fired from the group. I'm telling ya Mr. Lucky, after being back stage at that concert and flying back to Columbus Ohio about 5-6 weeks later and hearing the news of the crash, it rocked my world to a major extreme. I was bummed for a long time. I haven't been on a plane since...

[@matthewbonner2261]

Hi Steve , do you know of any other videos of this concert ??

[@joelcamp5445]

Tears of joy for how good this is....tears of sadness/rage for where the fuck is the good stuff now!

[@ramonalautzenheiser9397]

I loved the music so much! Went with some friends to the Tampa fairgrounds in '75 to see them. I had never heard of them. Their stage performance was full of heart and soul, just blew me away.....

[@williambrown6721]

Thanks to guys like you putting videos on KZbin it takes you back through history just for a short while I think the Lord that I was raised through the 60s and 70s then were some good days and years there was no household chemicals that people shot up their veins and standing on the street corners and intersections trying to attack cars these kinds of people are truly zombies. Yeah we parties I guess you would call us baby boomers but man we knew how to party naturally people done a little bit too much heroin and OD'd like then but nothing like today's era it was a little foggy even for me but I survived it because I knew when to put it down and go back to work after the weekend was up look around you today and see all the people that are on meth heroin and even fentanyl and you say there's not monsters?

[@paulschultz1144]

I watch this clip and look at the personalities in the crowd and I wonder where they are today. I wish I was there that day.

[@iagoribeiro4940]

Paul Schultz most of then probably dead

[@michaelmckenzie5232]

Getting ready to retire,dead or in prison

[@lynnm.goodman.3508]

Bring back all the men and women that have given us such precious and priceless music !!I know that can’t happen, but it is a lovely thought. I miss the original Skynyrd lineup so badly😢😢😢

[@derekponteri1491]

I was born in 98... and I can gladly say . This is real and good and soul music.

[@johnbelvin5216]

You have good taste. I was 14 when I first heard Sweet home Alabama. Me and my older brother were hitchhiking back from the beach and this dude picked us up and alabama came on the radio and he said hey have y'all you heard this band before? they kick ass, and he then turned the radio up full blast. I was a Lynyrd Skynyrd from that day on!

[@mtbalpinecounty]

Was there..
