When they played gimme three steps people standing on top of an ice cream truck selling cones in the stadium began stomping their feet...and they crushed the roof down onto the truck. No joke I was there and saw it with my own eyes.

Hi fans. I remember this concert like it was yesterday. And yes I was THERE! I remember it being so stifling hot. I was 17. I first started getting into Skynyrd in 1976. This was a phenomenal show. And me and a bunch of my friends got all the way up front to the left of the stage just before Skynyrd came on, and I remember seeing Ronnie walking right towards us. So I blew him a kiss, he saw it and he blew me one right back. With over 100,000 wild fans, he noticed ME! I couldn't believe it. Frampton and JGeils were good too. But Skynyrd of course was the headliner. It was a phenomenal show. And I got alot of sunburn too.

Was a 19 year old die hard Lynyrd Skynyrd fan at the time of the show. Remember like it happened yesterday, once Skynyrd finished up, and Frampton came on, we left. After hearing the greatest rock song sung live(FreeBird), it was no contest. Frampton was doomed. On a side note Skynyrd was planning on playing at the Spectrum in Philly sometime in November of 77, tickets were to go on sale the day after the plane crash.. So sad... Long live Skynyrd....

It was my birthday, I was 18 and just graduated High School. It was a beautiful summer day ( some people stated it was hot, but it was a gorgeous June day) and it was my 2nd time seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd... Frampton was hot with his just released and red hot album "Frampton Comes Alive" 5 months beforehand. We brought Acapulco Gold and Blonde Lebanese Hash, staples of 1970's smokables. Frampton was great, but Skynyrd stole the show with 91,000 in attendance...I remember there was an announcement that Aug. 13, Led Zeppelin would be coming to JFK, and tickets were to go on sale at a later date. Sadly that didn't happen as Robert Plant's son had died and the rest of the tour was cancelled.

Can't find any video! This was one of the best concerts ever!

We were huge J. Geils fans which drew us there. But loved Dickey Betts (he walked off after someone threw a bottle at the band). Just so glad we had the chance to see Lynyrd Skynrd live before the tragedy. Nothing compares to Freebird live.

That was my first concert- I got sick - I was better once J. Geils came on

Great concert, we took a Martz Bus Trip down from Scranton PA. Lol, it was hot as hell. I remember having cherry flavor ice cones. Accidentally spilled on person in front of me. I thought he's going to kill me, actually cooled him off. Great concert, J Geils great and off course SKYNARD before the tragic death of Vanzant. But Frampton was my hero! Lol I even had my hair style like his. I still have hair, Peter not as much.
First Concert without parents. Was hot as hell but who cares when you are at one of the best memories of your life. Went with Gina Tortorice and friends. Lynyrd Skynyrd & Peter Frampton...Sweet 16!
When they let the white doves go when they start to play free bird was awesome

I was 14 years old and my first concert. And after the concert at 10th and Packer in the Holiday Inn lobby I saw Ronnie VanZant and got his autograph on the back of my ticket stub. And tragically a few months later he died in the plane crash. WOW the memories and the history EXCITING I sill have the ticket stub with Ronnie VanZant autograph AWESOME
