I prefer the video of their Freebird performance at Knebworth in the U.K. in ‘76. They fricking burn those guitars down.

Here's an article about that Knebworth concert. Supposed to be 100k but they may have had 300k. Few had heard of Skynard but they stole the show. The Stones were the headliners

quote:

Thirty-one years on and I’ve never witnessed a crowd react to a support band in the same way that Knebworth did to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Somewhere between the first chorus and the second verse the band went from unknown names to full-fledged stars. “Skynyrd caused a real buzz backstage,” remembers Freddy Bannister. “We all wondered how anyone could follow them.” An hour later, we all began to wonder if anyone would even try.

I often drink a bit and play that Knebworth version through the home theater at VERY high volume.

Sorry neighbors.
