Should be remembered as one of the single greatest live rock performances of all times.

when you look at the crowd shots just think ,they are grandmas and grandpas now and they probably watch this with their grandkids and rock out!! gotta love it!!

Little did we know back then that we were living in the peak of "cool" when it came to music.

The greatest live band to ever take a stage and the only band ever to really use 3 guitarists effectively

I hate it when other reactors don't play this performance. This version is awesome!! I love the piano!

Yep, that was life in the ‘70s. We never met a guitar solo we didn’t love. Peace …

Steve Gaines does not get enough acknowledgment for the great guitarist he was. He brought a new energy to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

And not ONE cell phone! Imagine that! We didn’t need them back then. We had each other face to face, shoulder to shoulder. It was a wonderful time!

You don't see concerts like this anymore. The concerts I saw in the 70s were great. This generation has no clue.

That was an EPIC performance!

Scary to think that all those teenagers in the crowd are now grandparents in their 60's, but I'll bet they still remember that day.

RIP Gary Rossington, the last member of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd line up to go to that great gig in the sky (I think he was a survivor of the terrible plane crash). Gone but never forgotten 🙏

Little did they know that two months later three of them would be dead and the others badly injured.

And, that's how we did it back in the day!! G.O.A.T.S!!!! So sad this generation will never experience anything like that in their lifetime!!! Great reaction!

Say what you want about boomers. We knew how to party and we burned the candle from both ends. Such a good time!

Somewhere that guitar army is still playing that song today and forever.

I am 63 so was blessed to live during these times. It was a totally different world. No internet, no social media, no cellphones and no bras. There was no wireless for the musicians and no filters for the sound. No room for mistakes from the roadies or the band.. It was all raw energy and pure, unfiltered talent. Bands lived or died via LPS, 8 tracks, cassettes, concerts and radio. No one in that crowd was texting, taking a selfie or embarrassed about who they were. It is sad to know the other generations will never see this level of talent and a bands real love for their fans. Fantastic reaction. I'm subscribed.
