Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. It is very sad what happened to this band in losing so many members in a plane crash in 1977. My favorite songs are "Simple Man", "Free Bird" & "Sweet Home Alabama". They had lots of great songs such as "Call Me The Breeze", "Tuesday's Gone", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name", "Saturday Night Special", "Gimme Three Steps" etc.

@dagmar - well, for me it is The ballad of curtis loew, Simple Man and Free bird, the other stuff is still excellent, but these 3 are EXCEPTIONAL. One of the greatest bands of the 70ties. If they hadn´t crashed, they could have been as big as ACDC. But they WERE big and great. Superb band with excellent talent.

Skynyrd is hands-down my favorite band, followed closely by ZZ Top and Pink Floyd. It was on this day (Oct 20th) in 1977 that their plane went down killing Steve Gaines, his sister back-up singer Cassie Gaines, road manage Dean Kilpatrick, and lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, plus the two pilots. Just remembering that day still hurts. The girls singing back-up are the Honkettes, Cassie, Leslie Hawkings, and JoJo Billingsly. Other than the drummer, Artimus Pyle, they are all gone now after the passing of Gary Rossington. He's still rockin' with his own band that plays many of LS songs as a tribute to his brothers. Godspeed and fly high, Freebirds.

The guitar player Steve , (28 ) in red pants, his sister Casey (29), is behind him singing backup. It looks like her in the middle. Lost both in them plane crash with Ronnie (lead singer 29), road manager and 2 pilots only a few months after this show. 20 others survived. Reportedy, the only one to walk out with minor injuries was the drummer, others were seriously injured. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the band name, Ronnie is the person.

@@JimiKoolThat is not close to being true. I have heard the landowner's wife tell the story of what actually happened. With the helicopters flying around with spotlights on, they assumed that they were looking for an escaped convict from a nearby prison. When Pyle was approaching the house, The landowner fired his gun into the air. He wasn't hit or even close to being hit. She and others who were witness actually made fun of him for the story and said he made it up

Oct 20th 1977 was when we lost Ronnie Van Zandt Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie Gaines along with their road manager and the 2 pilots I saw this tour in Philadelphia just before going in the service I saw them twice before the crash and 10 times after, a very sad day for music and still their music lives on

I remember when the plane crashed as if it happened yesterday! I heard about it the next morning. I was in High School and got off the bus and went into the school. Everyone was crying!!!! Girls Boys everyone!!! I continued to the hangout spot where my friends and I would gather before class and asked what happened. When they told me I remember the tears just came out!!! Hard to hold them back after hearing that news!!! And everyone around was crying so that didn't make it easy to hold the tears back either!!! Years later when Johnny took over for his brother I made it a point to go see them! I remember Ronnie's hat on the mic for Freebird! Yeah, maybe a little teary-eyed for that too!!! I was lucky enough to see them four times! Everytime as much fun as the last!!! They were so amazing!!!

Amen, ladies. Ya never ever underestimate any member of Skynyrd, and especially the ladies! In the studio they were strong but they always proved just how strong they really were live! Yes! Great observation. Also….none of us native to GA or another Southern state took exception to the song. We always embraced and cheered it. Not just because it’s a good song, but because it does speak to a lot of us. I’m guessing a lot of Southerners may feel or see it (I cannot speak for everyone of course), the song may as well be saying “Sweet Home (anywhere in the South)…so…we ALL get it and feel it. ❤️🙂

I saw them in the mid-70s overseas. They were so much fun. One of my favorite lines too in this song: "I hope Neil Young will remember Southern Man don't need him around anyhow." We all loved that message to the whiney, Canadian Young. We all wore either red or blue plaid shirts then.

Yeah, it would not surprise me. The singer was naturally asked about it, and he said the reference was not personal. This was in response to Young's "Southern Man" song that basically portrayed the South as still in slavery days with cotton fields and "bull whips cracking." Lynyrd Skynyrd was a proud Southern band who had the flag at concerts and they needed to let their side be heard. @@gregrodriguez5697

Being a huge music geek and a huge movie geek,everytime i hear this song,i picture the movie Con Air in my head. Yes i know,im weird like that. One of the characters (no wait!),its actually 2 characters in that movie that seems to have a relationship to that song,without spoiling it too much (in case someone hasnt seen it). 4:16 Backing singers are telling Kathy to not push that pause button......just yet Heard about the joke with some guys criticizing rock bands having too long guitar solos,and this was all overheard by Lynyrd Skynyrd that said: Hold our beers! (I know,my humor is dry today,but i feel like noone beats Lynyrd Skynyrd`s guitar solos in length)

You get to see some extra guitar solos in this rendition and that was the first time I'd ever seen em do that. Steve Gaines was towards the last but actually second to the last and him on that srrat was and still is some of the best guitarist I've ever heard in my life and believe me I've listened to a lot . And the background singers was called The Honkettes .
