Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama - 7/2/1977 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official)

This group, their music is always on point and an important part of rock and roll history ❤❤

Yes, it's sad. But their music lives on and they live on in our hearts.

[@stevenashe8900]

I’ll tell you, I’ve been deep into the Lynyrd Skynyrd rabbit hole lately and if there was ever a better live band than them, I’d sure like to see them. Which is not intended to take anything away from the quality of music they produced. These guys were both all-time great musicians AND performers.

[@berain-vo9ur]

Queen...not even close. Freddie on his own blows Lynyrd Skynyrd off the stage..as did Prince..wierd little guy but possibly the best performer i`ve ever seen.

[@jdhoss153]

@@berain-vo9ur that’s your opinion lol. This isn’t sports. Music has a way of pulling us altogether & good times not all this political bs. Queen imo is overrated. I don’t resonate with them as well as others. Freddy Mercury has a very talented voice but their music doesn’t really move the needle for me. Prince is an all time great musician but Skynyrd is more relatable for me & resonates from where I come from. But that’s the beauty of music. There’s something for everybody

[@Hydun]

Queen and ac dc imo

[@poce762]

Right on! These guys were so tight everyone on top of their games and with this excellent recording can here them all. For me the highlight is the insturmental part with billy's part leading into Steve's solo which is something out of this world...and with Cassie in the background she must have been so proud and all of them so happy here and in the moment..RIP to all these legends

All that stuff is witchcraft, where they're trying to lull the audience into a certain brain wavelength, where they're more vulnerable to suggestion. It's generational work that they're doing, and "they" are not all human. Here is baphomet Diana Ross, with its eyes going full black for six seconds at 3:06-3:12. It did this right on stage in front of a whole audience. Everyone's brains created the optical illusion that its eyes were just in shadow for that moment, but look at the shade of gray in its mouth while singing, the shadows in the deeper cavity of its mouth are gray, while its eyes, which are not cavities and which are supposed to have "whites" of the eye, are full black. It's because of grafeen ockside, the same material we see in the blak eyed hybrid babies of two v'axed parents. It's the hard truth, but it's true. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGvYoeKrcuZhZI&lc=UgxXBmkvrN6LTMFrdyh4AaABAg.9w6lftiT80x9zBd_6A7nUM Here its eyes go reptilian from 1:26-1:49. It also has the habit of bobbing its head for the camera so the viewer cannot pick up on its eyes, whereas every other singer will look straight into the camera without head bobbing when the camera is on them. But, its reptile eyes show in the segment I mentioned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaW2Z3V_rZ1_oaM Here is reptile Byrd with its eyes shapeshifting throughout the interview. Its eyes change shape, size, and tone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqPHhJSibtp7aJo So, yeah, Lynyrd Skynyrd's music is real, not like the hocus pocus garbage from these predatory, parasitic, and demonic entities which have infested this planet and lured so many people to ck'ill themselves and their own children and parents. Things will get better though, much better. We are in End Times and these beasts are being purged, hence why the fake Biden, etc.

And unless you actually went to a concert that was the only way you'd ever see Lynyrd Skynyrd. I don't ever remember seeing them on television. It's truly wonderful to see Ronnie Van Zant up close, in color, alive and moving again.

[@PH-md8xp]

The same will be said by today’s youth, 50 years from now as they look back on the Taylor Swift concert they enjoyed. It’s all in the circle of life.

[@Dulcimerdude205]

Saw them twice in their prime!! No tweaking, no overdubs....just raw, passionate music. We didn't care if they missed a note or a line in a song....we sang it for them!!! Always will be a Skynyrd fan.

[@uversa7]

This is probably the best rehearsed band in Rock History. They developed and played these songs and guitar parts exactly the same way every time. Al Kooper immediately signed them to record and sell. On what was to be their last flight in the plane that they traveled, it crashed in the Mississippi swampland ending their dream. 6 lives were lost including 3 members of the band, the pilots, and their road manager. Ronnie Van Zant, lead singer, guitarist Steve Gains and back up singer Cassie Gains, Steve's sister were lost in the tragic crash. I heard the news very early in the morning while driving to Morgan City, Louisiana to work a 7 day hitch offshore for Shell Oil Company, rig 12.

I can only imagine how amazing it was to be here, watching this performance. No Phones, nothing but good old rock and roll and people rocking out together. These must have been the days.

[@devengen]

I remember those days - sooo wonderful. Those certainly WERE the days!

I am from Russia and I love my country and am proud of it, I have traveled to more than 30 countries of the world and lived a decent time in many of them, but only Alabama Gulf Shores has become for me the second place on the planet where I would like to live. As a student, I participated twice in the Work and Travel program, and both times I lived in Gulf Shores Alabama. It was one of the coolest 14 months of my life and one of the unforgettable adventures. Kind and friendly people of this place, they became my friends, whom I will never forget and hope to see them again in this life. Americans, you really have a piece of heaven on earth, take care of it, and may the skies over Alabama always be the same clear and blue.

I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?

I must have watched this a hundred times but when Steve Gaines and Alan Collins do the guitar solos at the end puts a smile on my face every time.

[@PadawanIan]

i just commented that too i’m so glad we’re on the same page Gaines would’ve been an even bigger name in the guitar world if he had more years just tragic

Man.....some bands were lucky to have 1 great guitarist.....Lynyrd Skynyrd had 3... Allen Collins, Steve Gaines, and Gary Rossington....not to mention singer Ronnie Van Zant....keyboardist Billy Powell. ..bassist Leon Wilkeson... drummer Artemus Pyle....and The Honkettes...Leslie Hawkins, Cassie Gaines, and JoJo Billingsley....One of the Greatest bands ever.

[@ronnietravis7972]

jim dartouzos Hello Jim. You said that Right.

[@joelpanettaonline]

What a lot of people never realize was that Leon played the bass like a lead guitarist. Sit back and listen to some of his bass playing. He was as talented on that thing as the guitar players were.

[@ronserps8489]

Yes brother...true music and harmony....long live Skyn

[@christianmani1730]

Don't forget Ed King who co-wrote the song and came up with the guitar hook intro.

@@christianmani1730 Yeah I was going to say what the hell? He left out Ed who was amazing, I can't believe people overlook him or how good he is.

[@jayheinz4624]

Freeeeking awesome,! this is better than the studio version!, these guys nailed it !,,!from the guitaristss, who all had their unique tone and style,,,to Ronnies really good edgy vocals and stage presence,, to the Sweet Lady singers! All one big family! And they all live so close to each other, ,,what the heck was in the water in Jacksonville, back then? hahaha! A good friend of mine lived four blocks away from them, before they made it big,,,I would consider this a historical live concert musical masterpiece!Soooo goood!🐦

This is the first time I have seen this footage. I saw Skynrd in Jan 77 in Bristol, England. I can`t begin to say what a great rock band they were. The crowd reaction was brilliant .....much like here in Oakland. We will never see bands like this again.

Here are the band members: Ronnie Van Zant, singer - 0:33, Leon Wilkeson, bass - 0:46, Artimus Pyle, drums - 1:30, Allen Collins, guitar - 1:35, then from left to right: Leslie Hawkins, Cassie Gaines and JoJo Billingsley, backing singers (the Honkettes) - 1:48, Steve Gaines, guitar - 2:11, Gary Rossington, guitar - 2:27, and Billy Powell, piano - 4:09. One more thing: notice how as he sings "Well, I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern man don't need him around anyhow," Ronnie Van Zant has on a Neil Young Tonight's the Night t-shirt - 1:12.
