A very good time to live in. I'm 63 now and i love all the memories from that time like Lynyrd Skynyrd and all the other bands from the 60 & 70 &80 i have seen.
@@collmac1974 thank you lol, every concert I go to people are just glued to their phones trying to record a video that they will never watch. Nobody just lives in the moment anymore! Except a few of us 💪
Son, we danced at your wedding to this song. Was the best and worst day of my life. I miss you more than anything. I pray i see you again one day. I love you with all my heart. Love Mama
I was born in 1971, these years were the most meaningful, most simple, most memorable years of my life, family, friends, music, from the greatest era along with the 80's ever. This is one of my most relatable most heart felt songs ever. Lynrd skynrd has tons of the greatest music ever to be created. Thank you so much.
So sorry about your brother Sheila. I lost my baby brother 03/04/2023 and another in 05/03/1991 when he was 23😢. Simple Man is one of the best songs every written❤
THANKYOU JOHNNY VAN ZANT THIS WAS YOUR START TO CONTINUE THE SKYNYRD LEGEND IN 1987, THIS SONG IS HEARTFELT TO THE SOUL. OCTOBER 2022 MONROE, MICHIGAN.
I was a 70's kid and life was good..best days of my life..trucking all over the country listening to bands..but 80's, 90's and early 21st century was cool as well..after 911..life changed and the road gets hard so enjoy your lives when your young kids :)
Take this history people. I was raised in Cuba and this was one of the greatest song ever played or ever eared in my country by the underground rock movement, yes people this guys are Gods in my country and place of origin Havana City, Cuba. Now that I'm here in the States is an Honor for me and a pleasure to participate of the southern culture and its great spirit, thank's for let me be part of it.
I've used this song as a tool, to express my love for my son, while he battled through his addiction...it's been along 16 years!!! He got it!! I want nothing but for him to be happy! Thanks for putting in words for us!
for me it was a reason to get through the dutch system, financialy homeless for 10 yrs. this and free bird. fucking happy and glad i live in a civilasation that has a cushion for when you f up. sous chef in the one of finest nd best taco/chevice restaurant in the lowlands :)
Everytime I listen this I fell to cry. I'm 56 lost my parents time ago. I'm italian lived abroad long time from my family. Now for see ma parents I go to cimitery I miss them
Ronnie and a few other band members are long gone. But 25 years later, and Skynyrd music still lives ever so strong in our heads. Thanks Ronnie. Our tribute to you is enjoying what you gave. Forever r.i.p. .

@@danijel00ful. Your soul is lost. You have no hope unless you accept Jesus as your savior. It's amazing how people can deni the Lord. Its your choice he doesn't force anyone.
Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah! Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. (Chorus) And be a simple, kind of man. Oh be something, you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me son, If you can? Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold All that you need, is in your soul, And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. (Chorus) Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. (Chorus) Baby be a simple, be a simple man. Oh be something, you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man.
28 years old now and feel ancient. Appreciate how old this stuff is(to me). It’s a shame the way the world and the music industry is going. I’m sad that I’ll never experience a concert like this. Love from Scotland 🏴✝️
Wow that's awesome ‼️ I don't remember really watching them live back then. RIP for all we lost,💔😭 which we just lost Gary 💔😭 It is October of 2023, I watch all the new band members @ sure love them all‼️ This is one of my favorite songs, @ of course Freebird‼️
No one can sing it like Ronnie Van Zandt! He is the BEST!!!!!!!! It's like someone trying to imitate Johnny Cash singing one of his songs. No one sounds as good as Cash! DEDICATED TO MY 29 YEAR OLD SON JOSH WHO DIED NEEDLESSLY ON 2-6-13.🥲
Graduated from HS in 71'. Went to Soooo many concerts in the day. I married a Rocker guy in 82' He turned me on tooooo so many groups . We went to many concerts. I so miss those days. 😢😢. This song is on my " ring tone".
Nobody writes songs like this anymore. Indeed, these are my mum’s words. Not easy to be a simple, kind man in life, but there is something up above that will reward you. Hopefully.
I just love how effortless they made this look. Perfect in every way, nothing overdone or out of order. I can’t choose between the vocals or the duo-guitars solo as my favorite part.
A letra é linda, a mensagem que transmite, e do melhor! Para ti Tatá! Quantas vezes ouvimos este som! Pois ficas a saber que onde quer que estejas, sempre que o, ouvir estou a pensar em ti, e nos bons momentos que passámos juntos, em modo vida loca! Saudades tuas amigo! Como tu próprio dizias! Pura vida!!👍👍🙏
Not my generation but I've loved this song since I first heard it long ago. Shinedown re-did it pretty well however Skynyrd is just the master of this wonderful piece!
Hallo für mich ist es eine Supper Gruppe! Hab die damals 1971 erlebt, zu meiner Bundeswehr Zeit in Speyer live! stand sogar neben dem Gitarrist! Was für ein Gefühl das war! Heute noch mag ich die Truppe. war Damals 20 Jahre! Sind auch in die Jahre gekommen, Es lebe Golden Earing! ❤❤🎸🎸😊😊ALLES Gute für den Rest des Lebens! Danke
Damn he has a powerful and beautiful voice just like his brother did!! Perfect choice to continue the legacy! Skynyrd is a amazing and sad to loose members to the crash, but just like ACDC, they they came back stronger than ever!! I love stories like that, were they hit rock bottom by a tragedy but then they rise up again and become bigger and stronger than ever before! Acdc went thru the Death of Bon Scott in 1980, they came back with Back in Black, Skynyrd did the same and ohh what a beautiful testimony it is to see them live, performing like they just formed the band!! One of the best bands I tell ya!!
This is hands down one of my favourite songs, so perfect. Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd for the legacy of you're music, and this timeless classic. All I want for my only son is for him to be a simple man and satisfied. Perfect.
I want to show it to my future child and say, "Son, your father lived at the time the music came from the soul and the artists had talent pty make songs like this" One of the best songs I heard in my life!
Musically, Skynyrd was still so good and so tight when they toured behind the Tribute Tour 10 years after the plane crash. Ed King & Gary Rossington's guitar work together here on Simple Man in 1987 was amazing.
That year was one who tipped the ground I was more and fighting for my life-saving my fellow soldiers I'm considered 1 of the best of the best that went through the service at that time. I'm a sharp shooter sniper whatever it takes I can do i'd robbed the music I took it to Battle and I brought it home with me. I'm not gonna ever change my mind how wonderful these tunes on
I discovered this song today in a TV serie( Reacher) and I've remembered my conversations with my father. He died ten years ago but I still miss him, I love you.
Simple Man" epitomized Ronnie Van Zant, who enjoyed friends, family, and a good time far more than anything money could buy. He held true to these values even after he found fame. Van Zant died in the 1977 plane crash that also claimed the lives of Skynyrd guitarist Steve Gaines and backup singer Cassie Gaines (brother and sister). When the band reunited and toured in 1987, they dedicated this song to him. Even though the lyrics state, "Sit beside me, my only son," Ronnie was not the only son. He had two younger brothers along with one older sister and one younger sister. Those younger brothers are Donnie, who formed and fronted .38 Special; and Johnny, who took over as Skynyrd’s frontman after Ronnie's death.
This song is dedicated to my 2 sons . Steven and Brandon Bean .who I would die for . I love them with all of my heart . My oldest son passed away May . 2015 . from Melanoma Cancer at the age of 28 . This band was at the Southwest Event Center in Pueblo ,Co . Best concert I've ever been to . I love these guys. .Jacqueline Bean
Missed them back then wasn’t fully aware of LS. Love then now but too late. Did catch Bob Marley in Glasgow some years later. Different but great also.
Please don't ever remove this video.... It lies deep in my heart for my dad.. I love the prelude that Ed King adds to this song,, I used to have the tribute video on VHS, let someone borrow it and never got it back.... Thx for posting.... :)
Oh man.. all death this band has encountered.. It's truly amazing it still exists (even with just this one original member, a lot of the others has some deep connection with the earlier band set-ups aswell). Gotta love them!

This was the 1st song I listened to the first night I came out from underground in the mines. It will always have a spot with me…here I am almost 30 years later.
I lost my brother, my best friend to suicide in 2020, that in itself killed me as we were close.. I still cannot heal myself, but I know he loved lynerd skynerd................... It is hard to hear these songs as I wish he was here. but my brother knew his music
My Brother wanted this played at his funeral. It was just right for him.

Gooosebumps baby 🎉🎉🎉
I'm 62 luv this band and still will be listening to there music for awhile yet.
"And don't forget son, there is someone up above" soo powerfull
There is someone above and desires that all men would come knowledge of forgiveness 1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9
If there's someone up above he's got a pretty sick sense of humour.
Aids , cancer , famine , disease ?
Maybe time you grew up ?
and yet, so untrue

Oh be something, you love and understand.

All that you need, is in your soul,
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Not my generation but I've loved this song since I first heard it long ago. Shinedown re-did it pretty well however Skynyrd is just the master of this wonderful piece!
Hallo für mich ist es eine Supper Gruppe! Hab die damals 1971 erlebt, zu meiner Bundeswehr Zeit in Speyer live! stand sogar neben dem Gitarrist! Was für ein Gefühl das war! Heute noch mag ich die Truppe. war Damals 20 Jahre! Sind auch in die Jahre gekommen, Es lebe Golden Earing! ❤❤🎸🎸😊😊ALLES Gute für den Rest des Lebens! Danke
Damn he has a powerful and beautiful voice just like his brother did!! Perfect choice to continue the legacy! Skynyrd is a amazing and sad to loose members to the crash, but just like ACDC, they they came back stronger than ever!! I love stories like that, were they hit rock bottom by a tragedy but then they rise up again and become bigger and stronger than ever before! Acdc went thru the Death of Bon Scott in 1980, they came back with Back in Black, Skynyrd did the same and ohh what a beautiful testimony it is to see them live, performing like they just formed the band!! One of the best bands I tell ya!!
❤
This is hands down one of my favourite songs, so perfect. Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd for the legacy of you're music, and this timeless classic.
All I want for my only son is for him to be a simple man and satisfied. Perfect.
my brother would definitely sing and devote himself to this song, rest in peace my brother, 06/25/20 my hero
I can't love this enough! 🔥♥️
Excellent live version of this song.
The vocals are spectacular !!
Before and after,the greatest band EVER 🦅 ❤️
Thoughout the years this has been, my song. And don't forget son there is JESUS up above.
Spare us the religious cr@p pal
Ronnie was singing about "someone", not Your sweet little Jesus.
I want to show it to my future child and say, "Son, your father lived at the time the music came from the soul and the artists had talent pty make songs like this" One of the best songs I heard in my life!
Musically, Skynyrd was still so good and so tight when they toured behind the Tribute Tour 10 years after the plane crash. Ed King & Gary Rossington's guitar work together here on Simple Man in 1987 was amazing.
Love me some Skynard. My song to be played at my burial

Still listening in december 24! Brazil 🇧🇷
this is the song i want played repeatedly at my funeral... one if the greatest songs ever recorded in the history of the world, hands down..

Only found this song a few weeks ago, class.😊
This intro can never get old
I LOVE this song more than you can ever know! Will bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it stirs many emotions!!! ❤😢
This was the 1st song I listened to the first night I came out from underground in the mines. It will always have a spot with me…here I am almost 30 years later.

This song and Free bird are my favourites of them.
