From their July 2nd, 1977, performance at Oakland Coliseum, in Oakland, California, here is Lynyrd Skynyrd performing one of, if not their signature song, "Sweet Home Alabama". This is the legendary lineup of the band with Ronnie van Zant on lead vocals, the three-guitar army of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, and Steve Gaines, Billy Powell on piano, Leon Wilkeson on bass and Artimus Pyle on drums and backing vocalists, Cassie Gaines, JoJo Billingsley, and Leslie Hawkins. This post is to commemorate the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band and the tragic plane crash where many of the original members including Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines, as well as the band's road manager, Dean Kilpatrick, lost their lives in a Mississippi swamp on October 20th, 1977. May the original members who the music world lost on that tragic day, Rest In Peace, and always be remembered, and may the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd live on forever.
