On August 21, 1976, Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage at Knebworth as part of a daylong festival which also included Todd Rundgren’s Utopia, 10cc and The Rolling Stones. The show has gone down in Lynyrd Skynyrd history as one of the band’s greatest performances, the 1976 Knebworth show features Ronnie Van Zant’s iconic vocals and their famed triple guitar attack of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Steve Gaines in front of a crowd estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Their entire performance from that day is here for you to witness the classic Lynyrd Skynyrd in all its glory with cleaned up visuals and remixed audio, available on DVD+CD, Blu-ray+CD and DVD+2LP, via Eagle Rock Entertainment on April 9th.
Until now the only source of footage of that historic show was the movie “Freebird… The Movie”, where the concert material was interrupted by interviews and other source videos. “Live At Knebworth ‘76” contains the entire show in front of 150.000 spectators with the band consisted of Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Gary Rossington (guitar), Allen Collins (guitar), Steve Gaines (guitar), Leon Wilkeson (bass), Artimus Pyle, (drums), Billy Powell (keyboards) and the Honkettes, singers Cassie Gaines, JoJo Billingsley and Leslie Hawkins, who were doing backing vocals.
