The year is 1976 at the Knebworth Music Festival hosted across the pond in England. The three men pictured here are Charlie Watts (left) of The Rolling Stones, Doug Clifford (middle) of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Ronnie Van Zant (right) of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

At this particular moment in time, Watts was in the process of explaining to Van Zant that Mick Jagger had requested that he and the boys "stay off" of the tongue portion of the stage that intrudes into the audience during their opening set. Judging by Ronnie's facial expression, and overall look of concern for ones safety on the late Charlie Watts face, I believe it's safe to say that Ronnie Van Zant was not pleased with this request.

And that he wasn't. During the closing song of their opening set, Ronnie Van Zant can be seen literally grabbing the arms of his "mules", as he called them, and pushing them to the front and center of the forbidden portion of the stage.

Those "mules" were guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins. Snapping his fingers, Van Zant can later be seen on camera ordering fellow guitarists Steve Gaines and bassist Leon Wilkeson to come join them. Needless to say, Mick Jagger and the Stones weren't pleased that a barefoot, long haired country boy from the southern United States with an attitude as big as their musical presence broke their one and only rule, "do not walk onto the tongue of the stage."

To quote the late-great Ronnie Van Zant, "Who the f%$k are The Rolling Stones, anyway?"
