I'm an old fart, and I love it when a young guy like you discovers the joys of the Southern Rock bands of the last century; it is a joy to watch the reaction you give to music that is likely older than you are. Keep on keepin on.
This is a true story too! Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant was dancing with a girl & her husband actually pulled a gun...He didn't actually y say gimne 3 steps...but yeah he & Gary Rosdingtin & one of the other band members did run out the door...supposedly they wrote the song on the way home in about 30 minites...
The incident happened at a bar that was then called West Tavern ... but that didn't exactly flow in a song so they changed it to The Jug after a package store that was on Edison Ave in Jacksonville called The Little Brown Jug.
As someone from there and lived through it all.. small correction.. It wasn't Edison Ave, it was Emerson Ave. and the place ended up becoming the famous S.O.S. Lounge. (my ex worked there back in the day).
@@GenMasterB Wow, I didn't know the S.O.S. was ever on the Southside. Thanks. I always knew it as being on San Juan by the railroad tracks in a place that was called The Still back in the '70s. I got Edison from the Lynyrd Skynyrd History page which puts The Little Brown Jug at the corner of Edison and Acosta. www.lynyrdskynyrdhistory.com/less4.html
I read an article in Rolling Stone magazine, many years ago, about that incident. It seems that the band was home in Jacksonville Fl., and Gary Rossington, Alan Collins, and Ronnie VanZant stopped at a bar in one of the rougher parts of town. Ronnie went in, looking for one of their friends, while the others waited in the car. The others were getting ticked, thinking that Ronnie was in the bar getting drunk, when out runs Ronnie, jumping in the car, yelling "drive! Get out of here, he's going to kill me!" (or words to that affect). They drove off, wondering what had happened. When he calmed down, Ronnie explained what had happened, and then proceeded to write the lyrics. they said it only took him about 10 to 15 minutes to write them.
True story. They were dancing in the Brown Jug bar. Ronnie was dancing with another guys girl and the guy came in and pull a gun on Ronnie. Ronnie told his band mates to just turn around and walk out he'll have to shoot us in the back. They wrote the song on their way back home in the car
The Jug is a real place in Jacksonville, Florida where Ronnie, Allen, Gary, Bob, Leon, & Billy all grew up. The Jug Saloon. Went there a year ago and met an ex-marine. I was wearing one of my Cactus shirts, and he asked me about who Cactus was. I mentioned at one point how the singer Rusty Day was in The Amboy Dukes with Ted Nugent before he was in Cactus. “Teddy! I know him,” he said. “Wanna talk with him over my phone?” My jaw dropped! “Uhh...sure!” My dad was there and I let him know what was going on. “What are you gonna say?” “I. Don’t. Know!” Ted was in a hurry, so I could say much, but I had a couple of beers so I don’t remember what I said. It was a moment to remember though. Saw Teseschi-Trucks perform that night, and visited Ronnie, Lacy, Marion, Jimmy, Leon, Allen, & Kathy the next day before heading to Macon to see the many different Allman Brothers Band sites, mainly the big house and the cemetery.
I used to live in Jax back in those days. The song is based on a real event but it took place in a bar called West Tavern. Since that didnt have any kind of lyrical quality Ronnie changed it to "The Jug" after The Little Brown Jug which was a package store on Edison Avenue.
That song is about the band telling Billboard (I think, one of the ratings lists) to give them back the prestige they had with their first 2 albums. Bullets refer to the dots used in the rating scheme.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy I always heard that it was a call out to music critics to give them their due. Ever heard the term "number 1 with a bullet"? That refers to the rating system for Billboard and other music rating sources. Dots or actual bullet shapes 1-5 to rate the record. They had fallen off in acclaim after their 3rd album didn't as well as their first 2. Sadly, Give Me Back My Bullets fared even worse. That's what my father always told me anyway. He was a DJ and good friends with Jimmy Fox of the James Gang. I heard lots of interesting stories about Joe Walsh growing up, lol.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was AMAZING extremely young when they recorded alot of their hits like this one and Freedbird ages 19-22 to have such a seasoned sound and message
Well just watched you react to "That Smell" and commented you needed to listen to "Gimmie 3 Steps" and boom here it is. Let's try "Don't ask me no questions" next. Again keep up the good work!
@@earldeanpowell Lol, that's not really true. All Mississippi State Sports fans know that reference. Look up Mississippi State Cowbell videos on UA-cam.
You have obviously never been in a South Georgia juke joint in the summer time! I’m not saying he DIDN’T piss his pants... but I GUARANTEE he was sweatin’!
My FAVORITE band EVER. First song I learned to play on the drums. My brother’s band practiced in my parents’ basement and it was post the 1977 plane crash. They played a LOT of Skynyrd.
I love how Ronnie doesn't try to play the tough guy. He is talking about being scared shitless. He puts you in that vulnerable position. Ronnie was always a great songwriter/story teller.
Lynryd Skynyrd are a truly great band with SOOO many good songs beyond Sweet Home Alabama, Simple Man & Freebird which most people know. They're fantastic songs but you could literally do 20 other reactions & all of them would be great.
Thank you so much Mel for more Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is actually a true story, and Ronnie Van Zant (R.I.P.) came up with the lyrics to this classic on his way home that evening. "Call Me The Breeze" please. You'll love it.
Always loved this song. My college hangout was called The Chug so this was on the jukebox most every night. Next you should try "In the Ghetto" (not the Elvis song) It's very deep and thoughtful and particularly appropriate for these times.
Fun Fact: Third guitar player Ed King wrote and played the bass parts for this studio recording because bassist Leon Wilkerson took a brief hiatus from the band. Ed made a number of contributions to early recordings, notably the opening guitar riff to 'Sweet Home Alabama'.
THIS IS THE MUSIC I GREW UP WITH DOWN SOUTH OF HOUSTON,TEXAS ..,38 SPECIAL,POINT BLANK,MOLLY HATCHET,ZZ TOP ,AND A HECK OF A LOT OF JANICE JOPLIN...BRINGS BACK AWESOME MEMORIES ! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES
The place this was written about was the West Tavern, Jacksonville, FL. West Tavern didn’t scan in the song, so they went with the name of a package store, the Little Brown Jug.
"I need you","things goin on","ballad of Curtis Loew","Mr banker","the breeze","Tuesdays gone". Southern rock and roll at it's finest Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman brothers ☮️
Jamel, I'm probably your parent's age and this is the kind of stuff I grew up on before top 40 radio became so segmented. I love watching a new generation explore, enjoy, and share all genres of great music. Keep up the great work my brother.
Agreed awesome one!! I had requested “That Smell” and “Tuesday’s Gone“ He did “That Smell“, I’ll see if he does “Tuesday’s Gone“. I think he will 👍😎🙌 Great song!!
Great reaction video as always. I remember buying the album on audio cassette in the 1970s and I loved the band right up to the plane crash that tore its heart out. This album will always be in my collection and all the songs on my playlist. Lynyrd Skynyrd pronounced Rock and Roll.
love this guy. really enjoy watching your reaction and comments to these oldies!!!! hell I am 67 years old. grew up here in Jacksonville listening to Lynyrd skynyrd way before they became famous.
No, that's Ronnie. (& Allen Collins). That looks like from the 1976 "Gimmie Back my Bullets" album. Right after Ed King Left and before Steve Gaines joined them. (But you're correct in the fact that this song featured the original drummer Bob Burns, and that photo is with Artimus Pyle). But all the other members are original.
This is NUCLEAR ROCK!!! When you hear this!!! Your ADRENALINE LEVEL goes NUCLEAR!!!!! This is ASS -KICKING NO NONSENSE Southern Rock!!!! Sends your energy to the NEXT LEVEL!!!
Those people who give any of Jamel's videos a thumbs down must not love this music as much as most of us. This is Southern Rock at it's very best!!! Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!!
When my mom was in her late 20s, early 30s she use to go out dancing at this little bar in Dallas. She was dating one of them and every time she walked in the door they'd start singing this (Her name was Linda.)
Yaaaaas! Thank you Jamel..I was 18 starting to hang with the bad boys and loved this song! I said excuuuuuse me! I hope you really liked it. Typical "hole in the wall bars#$%"!!!!!!

I'm 61. Can't tell you how many times I've shook my butt to this song!
My daughter who is now 32 was singing this song word for word when she was 3....lol!

'Call me the Breeze,' written by J. J. Cale along with 'Cocaine', "After Midnight', and many others.

👍🔥👍🔥👍
nobody ever does it tho....
A second helping, if you will...
Fantastic song.
Thanks, Jamel!!! This is one of my favorite "GOOD TIME" Songs!!! Thanks for uplifting my spirit! You're THE BEST!!!!
Love Skynyrd and this song. There are sooo many good songs from this band. Another great song and REQUEST from skynrd is "Saturday night special."
Well just watched you react to "That Smell" and commented you needed to listen to "Gimmie 3 Steps" and boom here it is. Let's try "Don't ask me no questions" next. Again keep up the good work!

Lynyrd Skynyrd "Mississippi Kid" or "Ballad of Curtis Loew"

Curtis Loew. Enuff said.
Definitely Curtis Lowe!!
@@purplebeard1526 Mississippi Kid same style as Curtis uses Flattop Guitar and Dobro.

Bounty Hunter. Gets me going to fast in the car.
Yes! This, so much!!
@Ralph's Place Train train is from Blackfoot, but yes he needs to listen to that one as well

Always one of my favorites . Always hit the dance floor with this one.
