There's a video on KZbin of them performing this song at the 1976 Knebworth Festival. That one had a minor scandal. The stage included the Rolling Stones logo, a big jutting tongue, extending out from the stage. All the bands had been told not to walk out onto the tongue, because the Stones were headlining and only they could do it. I don't know if the Stones even knew about it, but the organizers were furious. Of course I don't remember it, but I was a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan and do remember hearing about Ronnie causing some kind of trouble in England.

The lineup you are seeing here is, Lead vocals Ronnie VanZant, Slide guitar Gary Rossington, Lead/Rhythm guitar Allen Collins, Lead/Rhythm guitar Steve Gaines, Bass Leon Wilkerson, Drums Tommy Delmar aka (Artimus Pyle), and last but, not least Billy Powell on the ivory. Ricky Medlocke (who is not present) did play bass and drums for LS off and on and also created the band Blackfoot. One of the people who deserve a lot of credit for his contribution to the original LS lineup and the song sweet home Alabama is the late great Ed King. Without his masterful guitar work, many LS tunes would not be as hard-hitting and in your face. There is a lot to this band that was under a record deal for a short 4 years. The music we would have today had that plane not gone down would be amazing.

There aren’t really any other influences because they were the influencers. I this is a quintessential American song. Lynyrd Skynyrd had a rehearsal space in Florida called the cabin. No ac, no heat. Next to a river. They would work out the songs in this space so well they only needed one or two takes to record it in the studio. There’s a story where the band had to go outside to the river to get Ronnie to record his vocals because he was out there fishing.

Medlocke was with the band for a very short time at the very beginning before they signed to MCA. But he left and formed his own southern rock band called Blackfoot. He rejoined the later lineup of the band years after the plane crash and played with then until their final farewell tour in 2018 and their final album in 2019.

In the 70s and 80s, they hosted what were called "Day on the Green" promoted by the legendary Bill Graham, where 4 or 5 bands would play. This particular afternoon Skynyrd were joined by The Outlaws, Santana, and the headliner was Peter Frampton. I was lucky enough to attend several of these epic concerts, though not lucky enough to see this one unfortunately!

Guy's, all the girls were there because Peter Frampton was the headliner for the concert, not long after the album Frampton Comes Alive was released. For the second date of this line up on July 4th Skynyrd wasn't allowed to play Freebird because Frampton said he wouldn't perform if they did. The crowd was so drained after the July 2nd Skynyrd show that the Frampton performance was a let down and some people actually left before the end of Frampton's performance. Ronnie VanZant was known for really promoting his band. In 1976 as an opening act for the Rolling Stones he had the guitar players move out on to the tongue section of the stage during the Freebird finally. That section of stage was suppose to be for Mick Jagger; ONLY! Ronnie knew it, but his motto was make the crowd remember you when they see the show.

I saw this concert twice in two months. I was still stationed at Camp LeJuene in June, in August I was on my way to Okinawa from taking leave in Niagara Falls. I'm glad it worked out that way since it was just months until the plane went down.
