Note: This is one of the best live performances I've seen, from 1977 in Oakland, California, made all the more special as frontman Ronnie Van Zant and some band members died in a plane crash a few months later. Surviving band member Artimus Pyle later recalled a conversation with Van Zant, who regularly discussed his mortality, from a tour in Japan where he told Pyle he wouldn't live past the age of 30 and would go out 'with my boots on', meaning, whilst on tour, from 6:35s in this video we see some of the greatest ever guitar playing.
