Just a note about Billy Powell. He was a roadie for the band who one day mentioned he played some piano. The rest is history.

Pre covi crowd was monsters every one was jumping

[@user-nd3qx1mt7r]

When I seen them it was out doors they turned on a fire hose and spray th crowd it was so hot with every one at the stag

[@vangreen9098]

Yes sir Ronnie we still remember you…

[@georgekininmonth2070]

It was awesome. I was there. Yes, under $20 tix, no cameras, cell phones, sunscreen, just fun and sun. They had the crash about a month after this show. That it hard! The birds were set free.

[@user-gg3xn3vu3q]

You can definitely tell there was no sunscreen 🧴

[@user-bg1kf1wj4w]

Beautiful performance!!

[@user-mf1pk2po8w]

They did a concert in my hometown of Cleveland, MS in 1974. They had so much fun they ended up staying and partying for like a week. The scene from Almost Famous where the rock singer is partying on the roof happened that week. Alan Collins got on the roof and wouldn’t come down. Incredibly talented but check out Alan Collins life after the plane crash. His was the most tragic story of all and he didn’t die in the place crash. He might as well have passed away in the swamp that day because he never got over it.

So many girls there for Peter Frampton for that Festival. He was the head liner but they stole the show!!! In my opinion

[@freebirdtony]

Greetings Gray Wolf, I dig your reaction to this iconic video. Ronnie Van Zant (vocals) Gary Rossington (slide guitar) Allen Collins (guitar/dressed in white) Steve Gaines (guitar) Leon Wilkeson (bass) Billy Powell (piano) Artimus Pyle (drums) That was at an annual event called Day on the Green. The other bands performing that day were Peter Frampton, Santana and Outlaws.

✌❤🎶🎶❤✌ great job! Thanks!

[@pennycousineau946]

No problems with pausing during a Solo like that!❤

[@rickthoma6428]

Talent.

[@vangreen9098]

I seen them 3 times before the plane crash and April 2024 I seen the modern Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top. Ronnie’s brother sings lead now and have been the last 36 years.

[@user-gg3xn3vu3q]

They had a house out in the middle of nowhere, where they would write and sing songs. Most of the time they were tripping on mushrooms when they did.

[@grahambatchelor3576]

One of the very best live numbers you'll ever see!

[@markhopkins222]

Check out Knebworth 76

[@markreagan8277]

If you think their albums were great, they were even better live. The orginals were perfection and it was their music. Fly high Freebird!

[@hunter1961100]

Day on the green Oakland, California around 70,000 people northern California back then was a special time and place and the best looking women in the country hands-down

[@jamesknox7171]

No cell phones, no bras, no problems. Just a good damn time.

[@kenhoyer8601]

no sunscreen

[@joeyboogenz]

The bird chirps took an old corasidian asprin bottle slid on the strings to make those birds sounds.

[@blueyzblue6391]

ALL those eager girls you see were there to see Frampton. Skynyrd opened for him that day.

[@user-nd3qx1mt7r]

Iseen them th guitar battle is epic

[@artbagley1406]

Billy Powell's Bud can may be one of the old steel ones, with the seam down the side. Also, wouldn't you count the bass guitar in with the other three?! Gotta give Leon Wilkeson some recognition for his artistry! I think I've heard there were 50,000 to 63,000 folks in attendance at that particular Day on the Green -- with a line-up like they had, and for cheap tix, those numbers are entirely possible. ENERGY IS RIGHT!!!

[@notablindliberal896]

Yes, 5 studio albums and 1 live album prior to the plane crash. Legendary band for sure. Allen Collins shredding the last half of the song, Gary Rossington playing the slide guitar, Steve Gaines on guitar, Leon Wilkeson on bass, Billy Powell on the piano, Artimus Pyle on drums and Ronnie Van Zant lead vocals. We got robbed. Thanks for the reaction.

[@joeyboogenz]

Remember , those old Bud cans wee made of hard steel . Not Aluminium .

[@vangreen9098]

No cell phones either

[@joeyboogenz]

I had a concert ticket for theOct 14 Hollywood ,Fl survivors tour . It cost me $7.00 I wasnt able to go ,as my parents would not let me rid e in back of a a pickup truck I had just turned 13

[@attwxlv5966]

Why do my comments keep getting deleted? Am I wrong to point out that the set has Mount Rushmore on the stage? You pointed out the Rebel Flag.

[@scottfreitag2114]

I believe there were over 70,00 people at the show. They had 4 guitars, Gary Rossington on slide, Allen Collins, Doug Gaines and the Bass player.

Your right Brother...Real Rock Stars! Nicely played 🐶😎🇺🇸 Spread the love 🤙

[@wadehines9971]

In the top 10 live performances of all time. Cutting it finer becomes very personal.

[@derekk8523]

A great live performance from a band that is huge overseas but not as much as they should be here is muse- hysteria live in Rome. Absolute banger

[@sno_dash9817]

Lot of people and no one worried about being shot or blown up! Great music and great time
