Of course leteyer is right but as a person who was there for the Stones, I will say LS were fantastic - short set but so sweet - so with that praise in mind I'll try to give an objective point of view as someone who enjoyed both - a lot - LS were like really good Fish & chips but the Stones were like a 5 course dinner - I know which I would choose as a last meal, however much I like Fish & chips............."

blew the Stones off stage? ............that roadie must have been on drugs...........

For a true Rolling Stones fan even the early 7-tees Mahavishnu Orchestra didn't blow them off the stage. Think what you like.

Why do you guys pretend like this is complicated. Of course a band can be blown off stage. IF the band before them plays with energy and sounds alot better then they will blow you off the stage. If the crowd is alive because the earlier band creates so much energy but the crowd is dead for the next band then they were blown off the stage.

I have idea if this happened at Knebworth but its ridiculous to pretend like you don't understand what it means.

Stones were great in their decadence at full display in 1976.

What is that smell??

It gets complicated when both bands are on top form.........if you were primarily an LS fan beforehand you'd probably say LS were best, if you were a Stones fan, vice versa.......subjective bias comes into play.....

I was there and although LS were terrific I think it's wishful thinking or drunken thinking to claim they trashed the Stones.....he must have really hated the Stones beforehand to think that.........

The Stones were like something from the twilight zone (in a good way), especially Midnight rambler ...........(as redhotcarpet said..........

If the audience was 50/50 between both bands or 80/20 for the Stones and the audience reacted way better to LS then the Stones got blown off the stage. Again not saying it would happen. It doesn't matter who you like better it matters who played better on that day.


The Stones are far and away from favorite band of all time. There basically is no number 2. But I am sure if the 1969 version of the WHO opened up for the 1981 Stones that i saw in Buffalo I would come away thinking the Stones got blown off stage. Doesn't matter that i like then more.

Why is everything always turned into a contest. Just enjoy the music you like, that's it.

Tis has nothing to do with it. My question is always why do some people take music so seriously that they think there is something wrong with comparing how two bands did on a day.

FACT is one of those bands outplayed the other. For people who were there that day more of them went away thinking one of the bands played better then the other. Its involuntary. Its not a big deal.

cant imagine the Stones would be blown off any stage by any band

but Skynyrd was very good live..

Pick one of the openers (ACDC, Guess Who in their original lineup or even Rush) and they blew the Stones off the stage at the SARS concert in Toronto. It can happen.

Oh, now I understand...Like the gig in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Juan Luis Guerra blew the Stones off the stage too...People dancing with the salsa guy and having fun means blowing-off the main act. Silly me that the only thing I like about opening acts for the Stones is when they leave the stage. I apologise for liking the Stones (even in their worst day) better than any other group.

Its Skynyrd...skynyrd. Not Skynard!

Crazy talk....Comparing Skynrd with The Rolling Stones! I'm sure the audience
enjoyed Skynrd, as the band was at their peak, but nowhere close to the Stones.
