Don't know if you guys know, but we lost Gary Rossington recently and he was the last original member of the band. Gary played the slide guitar 🎸 sound you love..truly a gifted quitarist
always thought gary was underrated. his parts may not have been the flashiest, but man his parts had soul. you can only wonder what him, allan, and steve gains would have been like if they had been together longer
Gary Rossington, the last founding member just passed away a couple weeks ago. He plays the great guitar solos throughout this tune. The band is all together now, once again, and rocking the hell out of heaven!
My brother was 10 years older than me and we shared a room at the time this album came out. I fell asleep to this song every night for nine months straight. Great memories. I miss my brother. Great reaction guys!
Let's give a hand to Billy Powel for his magnificent contributions playing the piano for Lynyrd Skynyrd. He was a classically trained pianist. Originally he was a roadie for the band. Story goes that during a break and brief moment of downtime he was overheard by the band playing a piano. The rest is history and a beautiful one at that. RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Watching him being interviewed immediately after the crash is absolutely terrifying. It was like looking at a victim from a horror film, but in real life.
Amber, there must be hundreds of people reacting to music, and you do it better than any of them. You seem to always find what makes a song special, whether it's the lyrics, or the instruments, or just the feeling of the song and you describe it so perfectly! Thanks, J, for including her on this ride! You rock as well. Y'all are just real good fun people. Keep doing life just like you are. Your kids are lucky to have such awesome parents.
Totally agree! I always love their reactions, and even more….they react to all kinds and generations of music! My life motto.. listen to music, it’s therapy for the soul. Thanks guys! Your the absolute best!
@@RitaBowen1 I saw them a couple times in the late '90s and really enjoyed it but I know it could never compare with what you saw in '77. I can only imagine how great that must have been!
There will never ever be another band even close to this group of men and women. Their music will live on for eternity. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the best "Southern Rock Band," to ever exist hands down.
I love how Amber sways and Jay rocks to the music. It's like hanging out with great friends just listening to and talking about the music. Fantastic reaction, as always.
This is one of Skynyrd's songs that separate them from the rest. No one could do what they do with a melting of smooth blues, easy listening, country, and rock. It still gets me emotional, especially after Gary's death just recently. Right now, if I was driving, I'd have to pull over. 🥲
Wife here..WOW..No matter how much time has past in my life...Something about this song will forever tug at my heart strings ..and make me shed a few tears..🤘❤️
Ronnie Van Zant was from the South through and through but his genius was/is that his songs connect to your heart and soul no matter who you are or where you’re from. Very rare and such a huge loss way too soon. RIP Gary Rossington as well.
My favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song. As others have noted, Gary Rossington passed away earlier this month. He was the last surviving member of the original band. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s first three albums were produced by Al Kooper. He did many remarkable things - wrote “This Diamond Ring” For Gary Lewis & The Playboys, played the organ on Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”, co-founded both The Blues Project & Blood, Sweat & Tears and was the stage manager at The Monterey International Pop Festival.
Al indeed did great things in music. Discovering this band was one of his greatest! By the way, he is playing bass, mellotron and singing background harmonies on this particular track. He is credited as Roosevelt Gooch (his alias)
I was 13 when I first heard them (playing Free Bird of course). That was 50 years ago in 1973. This year, exactly 50 years later, the last original member passes away. Heaven now has the full band! It's gotta be rocking hard up there! RIP to all of you. Thanks for the great music and live concerts.
Hello Goddess - you are so beautiful. I was wondering if you do Homewrecking ? I am in a 2 year relationship with someone who is not Dom - but I have almost always been with a Dom. I know she expects me to marry her but I am too much of a coward to end the relationship. I am looking for a Dom who will break up my relationship and then put me in chastity, blackmail me and make me her slave. You are so much more beautiful than my GF.
One of the greatest live albums in history, recorded to raise money to save the old Fox Theater in Atlanta (it worked - still there today!) My older brother was there one of the shows and says that it was the best night of his life other than his wedding night. lol
GREAT JOB as usual. Great song Ed King once said, “ if you really want to know who Ronnie Van Zant is, just listen to ANY SIX of his songs. And you’ll know exactly who he is”. That is so deeply profound and true. You can’t really say that about a single other great songwriter.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist maybe but the concept is the same. Listen to chamber music with a violin and a piano and you get the same vibe. You have to really respect people who are willing to explore this stuff.
@@stormy8207 yep That is the idea of the mellotron Look up Mike Pender from The Moody Blues a perfect example of classical style music via the mellotron
Very appropriate choice with Gary Rossington's recent passing, He is the one doing the lead guitar on this particular track. Credits on this song (from the album) Ronnie Van Zant - Lead vocals Gary Rossington - Lead guitar Allen Collins - Rhythm guitar Keyboards - Billy Powell Drums - Robert Nix (*Robert was a founding member of the band, Atlanta Rhythm Section) Bass, Mellotron and backing vocals - Rooselvelt Gooch (Alias used by their producer, Al Kooper) *Note: Ed King and Bob Burns do not play on this song.
They was such a great band and thank god we have their music to help us remember them one of the reasons they was they was so popular was because they was the everyday people’s band they was blue collar band and played music that the people count really relate too.
This one takes me back. Bunch of us drive out to a field circle of muscle cars, bon-fire, music blasting, and make out session with ur sweetie under the stars. Thanx for the memories, take care, Peace
You may remember this song from the movie "Dazed And Confused" that you reacted to a few weeks ago. This was playing over the scene where the party at the moon tower was winding down and everybody was leaving. It fit perfectly with the image onscreen.
You guys have heard this before…remember in “Dazed & Confused” as the keg party in the woods was winding down and everyone was leaving…this was playing in the background. Such a fabulous song, they could make instruments shine!
I was starting to hear a lot of buzz about a group called "Lynyrd Skynyrd" back in the 70s after they toured as an opening act for "The Who". What was so special is that, during one (or more) of those concerts, the entire crowd was yelling for more Lynyrd Skynyrd even after The Who appeared on stage, ready to perform. Remember, back in those days there was no internet, no social media and no Entertainment Tonight (yet). Word traveled by mouth or through regular nightly news reports. My first introduction to them was their "Street Survivors" album which I purchased on its release date. Sadly, they were gone a few days later. I have since back-tracked their collection and obtained a number of their albums. A great band that was lost far too early.😕 Peace & Love🕊❤
Pretty cool story on how the piano player, Billy Powell joined Lynyrd Skynyrd… “Around 1970, Powell found work as a roadie for Lynyrd Skynyrd and remained a member of the crew for two years, during which the band secured a support role for the band Mountain. In 1972, Skynyrd played a show at the Bolles School prom. During a break at that event, Powell sat down at a piano and played a song. When the band realized their roadie's ability, he was offered the position of keyboardist” (from Wikipedia).
All I Can Do Is Write About It, and Four Walls Of Raiford are 2 Skynyrd songs nobody will request that y'all really should take the time to listen at least on your own even if you don't do a reaction to. I promise you won't regret it. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for what you're doing.
I don't like some Dwight yoke Boy Amazing voice Dwight has a little sister he does little sister I don't know anybody don't that song any better but I love a 1000 miles a 1000 miles from nowhere by DY yocum that's some good stuff❤❤
Steve Dave Earle everybody knows he does copperhead road that's all they know that's it boom. In the story at aint it though he does a guitar tab earl'll take you to the guitar tabs go and stay but I'm taking a guitar tab get tar down
Gary Rossington making that guitar sing on this one. So apropos to play this one right after Gary’s passing. One of their classics, for sure. I just spent a few days outside of Jacksonville and all I could think about was this is Lynyrd Skynyrd’s home and it gave me a sense of their roots.
A very interesting song besides being a banger. It describes the effects of a major life change, namely the bands signing to a record deal. Everything is different after the event; the past, "Tuesday" as it is labeled , cannot be reclaimed. And while you may lament it's absence, only the future, new and unknown, is available to you. You've "got to carry on"!
Thank you for explaining this. I first heard this song over 30 years ago, rolling down the highway in my BF Mustang, listening to him sing along. I knew I'd love him from that day forward. Great memories. I'm transported back there every time I hear it again. And yes, still lovin'reach other 31 years later.
The final surviving member, Gary rossington, the man who played that beautiful piano solo, passed the other day. The band is together again. You should in fact check out Sweet home Alabama, however.
Tuesdays Gone will forever be my own personal favorite song, it's the only song I've ever told folks to be sure and play at my funeral. I believe it to be Lynyrd Skynyrds most overlooked and/or underrated song, which is saying a lot as I also believe that Lynyrd Skynyrd is the most overlooked and/or underrated band in rock-n-roll history. It's kind of sad how little credit they get as musicians, Ronnie as a lyricist, and the band as a whole. Ronnie wrote Tuesdays Gone after separating from his first wife sometime not long before their first record came out. It's the best, and the Metallica version is great too, it's just it's own thing without ruining the original. I recommend it highly
I grew up with this song, I love Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Sad their is no longer any living members of this band, They just lost the last one now they can all be together. May they play like they used to!
I went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in Oakland three months before the crash. My brother, his friend and I made our way through the crowd and up front within 40 feet or so from the stage. It was a hot day! Early July. Long great concert...Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton head lining. Every band put on a great show, but Skynyrd was my favorite. I was 15 - a total Skynyrd head and I remember so clearly watching Ronnie sing and being mesmerized by the music. A rockin day of music for sure. And just three months later I, and so many others, were totally crushed by the plane crash. It was shocking - one of those when you remember where you were when you heard the news. So similar to how I felt when Stevie Ray Vaughn died. Thanks for the great reaction as usual!
A great American band. Wrote songs for the common person. The relatability is waning a bit over generations, but its a beautiful song regardless of when written.
I figured out the three basic reasons that I love you guys to death. 1. Normal folks. 2. Able to express yourself eloquently. 3. Love the music I love, the way I love it. You guys are the best. Shout out from Georgia.
You have to see them live before the plane crash when they had their best lineup. Please check out "Call Me the Breeze" or "T for Texas", the live versions from Knebworth in 1976.
Congratulations! If you've never heard this song before, you've now heard a song that you can go back to throughout your whole life and it will always hit as hard and sound as good as it did the first time. I know....I've been listening to this song my entire life. It gives me chills and makes me feel just as strong as it did the first time....that's what you call a masterpiece.
This is one of the greatest albums in rock history, especially considering it was the first album put out by a bunch of kids barely into their 20s. Gimme Three Steps, Simple Man, Tuesdays Gone, Things Goin' On, AND Freebird all on one album. They oncorporated a small symphony ON THEIR FIRST ALBUM. That's so assured and confident - they KNEW it was awesome, not corny. Freaking amazingly talented band - glad you all are starting to get into them! Their producer (Al Kooper) didn't want them to record Freebird ("it's way too long and will never get played!") - Ronnie asked him to step outside, told him to get in his car, and not come inside without his permission. Then they recorded it on their own... Thank the Lord Ronnie was a hard ass - Kooper said "Ronnie was VERY convincing..." lol If you all ever get to Muscle Shoals, gotta check out the sound studios there - between them they put out over 200 charting rock, blues, and R&B songs. Aretha, Dylan, Stones, Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Clapton, Harrison, Rondstadt, Seger, Wilson Pickett... Percy Sledge was discovered nearby (literally as a share cropper) and recorded his first song "When a Man Loves a Woman" there. The tours are amazing journeys into music history. All in a redneck little town in Alabama. :-) Skynyrd LOVED it there amd recording with the house bands ("Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers, amd they been known to pick a song or two..."), who were legendary in their own right. And RIP Gary - thanks for the music.
I was gonna say watch Muscle Shoals. Great documentary and it just showd how much they were involved in almost every great song from the 60's and 70's. They would be blown away by it
I was fortunate to see them twice in concert. First time was in July 1974 before the plane crash so got to see all of them play. They played after The James Gang and before the headliner which was ELP. I don't remember if they played this song, but they did play Free Bird. Second time was many years later and I don't think any of the original members were still in the band at that time, but still sounded good. Now all the original members are together again in heaven. Rock on boys!
The guitar that's being played is called a slid guitar it's played by Gary Rossington who passed away about two weeks ago. He was the last of the original members in the band .RIP Gary!!!
Great song. A couple suggestions to check out. “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” by Traffic and “30 Days in the Hole” by Humble Pie. Keep up the great work.
Since you mentioned CCR, it's a great irony that the fella who almost single handedly created the sound, John Fogerty, was born, grew up and created in Northern California. Which is testament to his creative genius. Now Skynrd and the Allman Brothers are indeed from the south.
Don't know if you guys know, but we lost Gary Rossington recently and he was the last original member of the band. Gary played the slide guitar 🎸 sound you love..truly a gifted quitarist
RIP, Gary. I thought of him, too during that solo. Salute.
This band did not deserve all the heartache they went through, it is just so sad.
He was the inspiration of “That Smell”
@@hankarmentrout6697 And he ended up living the longest...ironic.
always thought gary was underrated. his parts may not have been the flashiest, but man his parts had soul. you can only wonder what him, allan, and steve gains would have been like if they had been together longer
" The Ballad of Curtis Loew " is one of Lynyrd Skynyrds classics that everyone loves ! Thank Y'all keep the hits coming =)
My favourite tune by them! I was 15 when it came lol .
One of my favorites as well!
It's a shame that everyone in this lineup has passed away
Yes!
The violins you heard are from a keyboard. Synthesizers can duplicate a lot of instruments pretty good. Just a few still need work
Gary Rossington, the last founding member just passed away a couple weeks ago. He plays the great guitar solos throughout this tune. The band is all together now, once again, and rocking the hell out of heaven!
It's hard to believe that all of the original band is gone now. Sad.
Man the heavens are having the best concert now
My brother was 10 years older than me and we shared a room at the time this album came out. I fell asleep to this song every night for nine months straight. Great memories. I miss my brother. Great reaction guys!
Your brother had great taste in music. What a great , personal memory. RIP to your brother.
May he rest in peace. 🙏
I'm sorry for your loss, Marc, and what great memories to share with your bro. 💗

Billy seems to get left out of Skynyrd discussions which is a shame. He shined in so many songs. Especially loved his playing on "Call Me the Breeze".
Watching him being interviewed immediately after the crash is absolutely terrifying. It was like looking at a victim from a horror film, but in real life.
His piano playing is excellent!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
@@seventhsonmedia I've never seen that footage. But, I can understand his reaction.

Except for Artimas … probably misspelled
@@mattjohnson7725 Bob Burns was the original drummer, so all of the originals are gone now.
@@beedeegee9374 I did not know that, I’ve never heard them mention him.. thanks
@@mattjohnson7725 Yes, he helped form the band in 1964 and was with them for about ten years, I believe.

The band was just magic, nothing else to be said. RIP Gary Rossington.
No bad songs with this band❤
Agree 💯 percent
So correct🤠
As Ronnie and Steve would say...."You got that right."

This song is so good that it has been used in at least five movies I can think of off the top of my head 🌺✌️
Dazed and Confused used it perfectly.
but the best lynyrd song in a movie is and will be forever free bird in devils reject... thats exactly the way i wanna die once...^^^^^^

Their live album "One More from the Road" was one of the first 5 albums/cassettes I bought, 41 years ago. This song means a lot to me.

Hope so. The only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ John 3:16-17 KJV. Not " worldly accomplishments " or " worldly standing "
The piano and violin in the middle are reminiscent of classical and chamber music. Got to love a band that doesn't mind digging into the roots.

That is not a violin.

..."Class of 76"...Lynard Skynyrd's music is forever!
Saw them in Lawrence Kansas on KU’s campus in 1976. 😮PHENOMINAL concert! Outstanding live!
In my opinion, Skynyrd was/is the best American rock band, they are just so good
One of the most recognizable guitar riffs ever!!
They have such a great sound! They are sorely missed!❤❤
This band and their music will forever be a marker in time.
R.I.P. Gary Rossington 🕊💔
This is my favorite Skynyrd song. “train roll on I’m many miles from my home you see I’m riding my blues away” 🚂♥️
This is the song that makes me cry and smile at the same time with goosebumps. Great song from a great band. Love live the Lynyrd Skynyrd band!

Very appropriate choice with Gary Rossington's recent passing, He is the one doing the lead guitar on this particular track.

They perfected their music playing in Honkytonks and that edge is always in their music
One of the best of all time
My fave song by them and just one of my fave songs in general, never fails to give me ALL the emotions sigh.
It’s a full Orchestra behind them. For a bunch of Country Boys from Jacksonville, this was Epic. Very well may be there Legacy song.
One of my favourite Lynyrd Skynyrd tracks! Ronnie Van Zant’s vocals may not be flashy but his vocal tone is always right on point!!!
The one playing the lead guitar on this song was the late great Gary Rossington who recently passed away at the age of 71
All I Can Do Is Write About It, and Four Walls Of Raiford are 2 Skynyrd songs nobody will request that y'all really should take the time to listen at least on your own even if you don't do a reaction to. I promise you won't regret it. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for what you're doing.

Great memories. I'm transported back there every time I hear it again. And yes, still lovin'reach other 31 years later.
I grew up listening to this song, and it always, always gives me chills. A classic that will never get old!
The final surviving member, Gary rossington, the man who played that beautiful piano solo, passed the other day. The band is together again. You should in fact check out Sweet home Alabama, however.
Gary Rossington played guitar
Billy Powell was their keyboardist and he passed several years ago
Tuesdays Gone will forever be my own personal favorite song, it's the only song I've ever told folks to be sure and play at my funeral. I believe it to be Lynyrd Skynyrds most overlooked and/or underrated song, which is saying a lot as I also believe that Lynyrd Skynyrd is the most overlooked and/or underrated band in rock-n-roll history. It's kind of sad how little credit they get as musicians, Ronnie as a lyricist, and the band as a whole. Ronnie wrote Tuesdays Gone after separating from his first wife sometime not long before their first record came out. It's the best, and the Metallica version is great too, it's just it's own thing without ruining the original. I recommend it highly
I grew up with this song, I love Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Sad their is no longer any living members of this band, They just lost the last one now they can all be together. May they play like they used to!
Artimus Pyle is the only member left. He came in after Bob Burns left & was with them on the plane. But all original members are gone now.
I went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in Oakland three months before the crash. My brother, his friend and I made our way through the crowd and up front within 40 feet or so from the stage. It was a hot day! Early July. Long great concert...Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton head lining. Every band put on a great show, but Skynyrd was my favorite. I was 15 - a total Skynyrd head and I remember so clearly watching Ronnie sing and being mesmerized by the music. A rockin day of music for sure. And just three months later I, and so many others, were totally crushed by the plane crash. It was shocking - one of those when you remember where you were when you heard the news. So similar to how I felt when Stevie Ray Vaughn died. Thanks for the great reaction as usual!
RIP Gary, the last original member. Incredible band. Tragic story.
R.I.P. GARY, YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Dropped on a Wednesday, because Tuesday's gone.
Gary😪 🙏 The last founding member of the band. Thank you for the music and memories ❤️. Thank you for your great reaction ❤
Gotta love southern rock…the guitars…the vocals…and every one of the great ones has an amazing pianist
This is a must listen to for me to end every Tuesday on my drive home from work. Awesome reaction
This song has soul...you just feel it deep down.
This is my favorite Skynyrd song… Period. No question… 💔
Such good music in a short career.
Grew up with Skynyrd playing in the background. Rip Gary Rossington. "Was I right or wrong" will not disappoint.
A great American band. Wrote songs for the common person. The relatability is waning a bit over generations, but its a beautiful song regardless of when written.
Living in N.Fl. I got burned out on Freebird. The radio played it ALL the time. I appreciate the rest of their catalog better!!
Love that song as well as "free bird", "gimme three steps", "call me the breeze", and of course "sweet home alabama"
Tuesday in this song is the name of a girl. It's about going away and leaving her behind.
Please do Brad Paisley Old Alabama. It has Alabama in it, and it's about them. Do official video.
When ever reviewing or discovering bands songs it's usually best to hear the original members.
This song is 1 of there best. Shows off there versatility. Such a GREAT R&R BAND!!! RVZ was a lyrical genius for sure. Barefoot & all. Lol.
I figured out the three basic reasons that I love you guys to death.
1. Normal folks.
2. Able to express yourself eloquently.
3. Love the music I love, the way I love it.
You guys are the best. Shout out from Georgia.
You have to see them live before the plane crash when they had their best lineup. Please check out "Call Me the Breeze" or "T for Texas", the live versions from Knebworth in 1976.
T for Texas live has such fantastic guitar interplay! It's one of my favorite Skynyrd songs.
This song is an awesome sing along. All that is needed is a keg of beer a bonfire. Good times.
Great song. Great reaction. Don't forget about the Alman Brothers. One of the greatest southern rock bands ever. Thx guys.
Congratulations! If you've never heard this song before, you've now heard a song that you can go back to throughout your whole life and it will always hit as hard and sound as good as it did the first time. I know....I've been listening to this song my entire life. It gives me chills and makes me feel just as strong as it did the first time....that's what you call a masterpiece.
This is one of the greatest albums in rock history, especially considering it was the first album put out by a bunch of kids barely into their 20s. Gimme Three Steps, Simple Man, Tuesdays Gone, Things Goin' On, AND Freebird all on one album. They oncorporated a small symphony ON THEIR FIRST ALBUM. That's so assured and confident - they KNEW it was awesome, not corny. Freaking amazingly talented band - glad you all are starting to get into them! Their producer (Al Kooper) didn't want them to record Freebird ("it's way too long and will never get played!") - Ronnie asked him to step outside, told him to get in his car, and not come inside without his permission. Then they recorded it on their own... Thank the Lord Ronnie was a hard ass - Kooper said "Ronnie was VERY convincing..." lol
If you all ever get to Muscle Shoals, gotta check out the sound studios there - between them they put out over 200 charting rock, blues, and R&B songs. Aretha, Dylan, Stones, Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Clapton, Harrison, Rondstadt, Seger, Wilson Pickett... Percy Sledge was discovered nearby (literally as a share cropper) and recorded his first song "When a Man Loves a Woman" there. The tours are amazing journeys into music history. All in a redneck little town in Alabama. :-) Skynyrd LOVED it there amd recording with the house bands ("Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers, amd they been known to pick a song or two..."), who were legendary in their own right.
And RIP Gary - thanks for the music.
I was gonna say watch Muscle Shoals. Great documentary and it just showd how much they were involved in almost every great song from the 60's and 70's. They would be blown away by it
You forgot Bob Segar
@@brianmcmaster5112 His last name is spelled "Seger"
@@brianmcmaster5112 Yes its a fantastic documentary!
It was "Simple Man" Kooper didn't like, and Ronnie put him in the car.
I was fortunate to see them twice in concert. First time was in July 1974 before the plane crash so got to see all of them play. They played after The James Gang and before the headliner which was ELP. I don't remember if they played this song, but they did play Free Bird. Second time was many years later and I don't think any of the original members were still in the band at that time, but still sounded good. Now all the original members are together again in heaven. Rock on boys!
The last founding member passed away recently…RIP Gary.
Back when music told a story. Phenomenal band.
RIP Gary Rossington
The guitar that's being played is called a slid guitar it's played by Gary Rossington who passed away about two weeks ago. He was the last of the original members in the band .RIP Gary!!!
Great song. A couple suggestions to check out. “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” by Traffic and “30 Days in the Hole” by Humble Pie. Keep up the great work.
Since you mentioned CCR, it's a great irony that the fella who almost single handedly created the sound, John Fogerty, was born, grew up and created in Northern California. Which is testament to his creative genius. Now Skynrd and the Allman Brothers are indeed from the south.
