Lynyrd Skynyrd

On July 13, 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd performed at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey, during a pivotal moment in their career. This concert came shortly after the release of their fifth studio album, "Street Survivors," which was launched just three days earlier on October 17, 1977. This album featured iconic tracks such as "What's Your Name" and "That Smell," both of which were part of the Asbury Park setlist. Tragically, shortly after the release of "Street Survivors," the band faced a devastating plane crash in October 1977, which led to the loss of several key members, marking a significant downturn in their trajectory. The 1977 concert captures Lynyrd Skynyrd at their peak, showcasing their raw energy and burgeoning legacy in Southern rock, solidifying their status in music history right before a tumultuous period.
