I recall the night in 1977 when it was announced on a rock radio station that their plane had gone down. The station announced it but did not have all the details at it had just happened, so they were unsure who survived or who died. Such a loss for the music world.

Was in McDonald's ... The announcement came on the radio. You could have heard a pin drop in that crowded restaurant.... Then the station played Freebird and girls sobbed. Every guy in there was teary-eyed and stoic...

I'm a little bit younger than you. I grew up in the northeast and I couldn't agree with you more about the music of the 70's. My first concert was Blue Oyster Cult during the summer of 77 in Bridgeport CT. Not only was the music great back then but going to a rock concert was something special. Bands were almost never on TV so it was the only way to see them perform, the tickets were cheap, usually $10 or less and the music was special to people of our generation. The bands were young and so were we. It would be hard to find any over the age of 25 in the audience back then. As for a great southern rock concert, in 1984 I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn, Charlie Daniels and the Allman Brothers Band in a 7 hour general admission outdoor concert in New Britain Connecticut which would probably be the best concert ever saw if I wasn't so inebriated that day making my memories of it a little blurry. But I do remember Stevie Ray's guitar absolutely blowing everyone away.

I can't get over steve gaines and allen collins back to back guitar solos in this live version. And when allen collins comes in after steve gaines, it's so iconic and bad ass, like a guitar battle but there's no losers. Also that tone on allen collins gibson explorer is sick

there are no racist lyrics in this song....as a matter of fact it takes a swipe at southern Dem racists with the lines "In Birmingham they love the governor [George Wallace] boo-boo-boo....Now Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you?" What he was saying was Watergate was nothing compared to the Dems support of segregation in the south.

@@sherleenoldacre7613 But others interpreted the lyrics as a reminder to Young that not all Southerners are the same. "We thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two," Van Zant later said. "We're Southern rebels but, more than that, we know the difference between right and wrong." In fact, those "boos" are thought to imply that the band disagreed with Wallace's politics-and that bit about Watergate seems to be a pointed remark about the hypocrisy of the North, which had its own problems, too. By all accounts, there was no real "feud" between the artists. "We wrote 'Sweet Home Alabama' as a joke," Van Zant clarified a few years following the release. "We didn't even think about it. The words just came out that way. We just laughed like hell and said, 'Ain't that funny.' We love Neil Young. We love his music."

According to Rolling Stone, he was even rumored to have been buried in it.
