Lynyrd Skynyrd: Hammersmith Odeon, London; Apollo Theatre, Glagow
Jonh Ingham, Sounds, 21 February 1976
IF YOU want to know just how good Skynyrd are, they're the rare band you wouldn't mind working for, just to watch the action every night. For even when they knock off what to them is an ordinary set, the sparks fly from the opening of the first song to the final false ending of the last one.
