Lynyrd Skynyrd

In 1976, Lynyrd Skynyrd was enjoying a surge in popularity following the release of their highly acclaimed album *Gimme Back My Bullets*, which debuted earlier that year. By the time they performed live at Knebworth Park on August 21, they were already known for their signature Southern rock sound and dynamic live performances. The concert featured several fan favorites, reflecting their rising status in the rock scene, especially among the festival's star-studded lineup that included The Rolling Stones. Interestingly, this performance was part of a pivotal moment for the band, as they would go on to solidify their legacy with the groundbreaking *Street Survivors* album, released shortly before a tragic plane crash in 1977. This period marked a significant chapter in their career, showcasing their ability to captivate audiences and laying the groundwork for their enduring influence in rock music.
