Lynyrd Skynyrd play Freebird at Knebworth
Knebworth 1976 was supposed to be all about the Stones and their Bucolic Frolic but, in truth, Lynyrd Skynyrd blew them off the (Mick Jagger lip-shaped ) stage. This version of Freebird, from the Old Grey Whistle Test with Annie Nightingale, has a beautiful and aching build to a massive, joyous rock-out.
The highlight of that long, hot summer of 1976 when the roads melted and we didn’t drink lager with fruit in it.
