I mentioned this exact performance in another thread earlier this week. IMO, it is the single greatest live musical performance in the history of mankind.
Close. Knebworth beats this. It has all of what you mentioned in the Oakland performance, plus the fact that they blew the Stones off their own stage.

I wish the video quality was as good as Oakland, and give me California tans over the pasty Brits but yeah, Skynyrd going into the Stones backyard and walking out on the tongue simply because Jagger told them it was off limits, and then blowing away the greatest rock band of the time was a power move of epic proportion.
The story goes, the next band up, 10cc, delayed coming on stage for two hours as they were intimidated to follow that performance. The Stones didn't take the stage until even later, played the longest set of their career, and didn't wrap up until 2am. Such a great time to be alive.
