This is an old story/battle brought out every couple of years. I am a big LS fan and quite honestly prefer 1977 Oakland to the Knebworth show, not by much though.
I am a bigger Stones fan and really was digging the Around and Around plus Wild Horses video in this thread. That being said. The Stones awesome set list and just being the Rolling @#$%& Stones puts them on top.
Plus, this classic apples and oranges. LS played a great set at the right time of day, the height of their powers. The Stones played middle of the night to a really @#$%& up tired crowd. The vibe was very different between each set.
LS is a bit of a one trick pony but do what they do very well. The Stones on the other hand are rock and roll. The 75/76 tour was just a different vibe for the Stones. I liked it a lot. Some fans not so much.
At the end of the day Skynyrd is no match for the Rolling Stones. On any level. (I love LS)

Well Wild Horses the Stones put on Youtube was from the Knebworth gig and it was pretty cool. It leads me to think they were satisfied with that performance enough to put it online. I enjoyed the rest I saw as well. It obviously was pretty cold that night but the band was fire.
It wasn't cold at all. A very warm night after a blazing hot day. There had been warnings on the TV not to start any fires as the vegetation was so dry.
