Lynyrd Skynyrd founder/vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, back-up singer Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick and two others were killed in a plane crash outside Gillsburg, Mississippi. Their music still continues on, but was really never quite the same without them. They are missed.😪 "Fran DiTerlizzi Potvin ------

Nigel Pepper 6 months ago An absolutely awesome performance, as was the whole set they played. I know because I was there in 1976. I was just coming up to 17 years old and I was so excited as 3 of my favourite bands at that time were playing together at the same concert. The Stones were headlining, 10cc were second billing and Lynyrd Skynyrd were third on the bill. It was a gloriously hot day reaching about 90 degrees and Skynyrd went on in the evening and they absolutely blew the crowd away. They even dared to venture out on the "tongue" extension of the stage, which was said to be reserved only for use by the Stones ( the canopy of the stage later inflated into a huge pair of "Stones" lips when they went on ). 10cc were really good, and the Stones, who eventually went on about midnight, played a great set but the sound quality just wasn't very good at all. I don't however think that anyone could have followed that mesmerizing performance by Skynyrd to be honest. They stole the whole show, especially with that performance of Free Bird. I will never forget Knebworth 1976 that's for sure. It's a wonderful memory of much happier times. I was lucky enough to see Lynyrd Skynyrd perform again live at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park and they were breathtakingly good there too. Such a tragedy when the plane crash occurred. RIP Ronnie, Steve and Cassie and thanks for the great music which I still enjoy today.
