Lynyrd Skynyrd performing "Gimme Three Steps" in Knebworth, 1976. Absolutely mind blowing performance. That plane crash robbed us of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. #LynyrdSkynyrd

They were on a trajectory to be hands down the greatest American band.

Without a doubt. I was lucky enough to see them 4 times before the crash. Greatest rock band of all time, IMHO.

Think of all the musicians who have been killed in small planes. Just some who come to mind: Big Bopper Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens Dino Martin Jim Croce Randy Rhoades John Denver

Greatest American rock band in history! #MyBrothers

Steve Gaines, from my home town of Miami, Oklahoma, was just getting started. Such a tragedy.

Steve and Cassie Gaines were hometown kids for me, I remember his band Pink Peach Mob, they played at the VFW. Ace Moreland was also a hometown kid that would play with Steve.

That entire Knebworth show was pure perfection. I even heard that Mick Jaeger said something to the effect of we have to follow that!?!?

Leon Wilkeson with the Bobby Hat. Classic.

OH MAN I saw this in 1974 at Kent State University Ohio. Lucky for me.........RVZ

Saturday Night Special from this gig is great, too
