I like how the guy that plays the siren isn't concerned with fame and stays off camera in the crowd, showing them the true love of a person that just lives to perform
The Nokia 808 PureView was one hell of a phone. The audio recording at high volumes was unreal and it took some spectacular photos. If I could have installed android on it I probably would be still using it now!
Also part of the JB sound that it has a bit of a lower-mid hump which is easier to record(and play back). Also what makes them work so well in a 3 piece, they fill out the sound
I just listened to a documentary about this group Leonard Skinnerd -- every single note and every single drum hit was written out to the T and they all played everything but only what they exactly approved of.
Молодцы ребята , Очень люблю живую музыку как на этом видео , Смотрел и наслаждался и вспоминал свою молодость как сам играл в 1975 года в своей группе - Большое спасибо этим ребятам за видео
I'm a very amateur electric guitar player and this guy is very good..but wow..the bass player was rockin' hard, excellent playing and really laid down a great line!! 🎸🎵🎶👍
Well your test recording was a success. Good sound. Impressed how well the kick translated out on the street. If I was there I would have offered to belt out the vocals.
back in college one day in 1978, my buddy and I plugged in our guitars. Now Carl was the actual musician. Me, I was a hack, but did have some training, can hit the chords, bars and all, and when it comes to lead I can fake it and stay in key. We jammed for about 20 minutes and had hundreds of people out behind the dorm feeling good. It was a spring day in Rhode Island
Brilliant live take on this iconic song, well done guys, love it. More please, I so admire people like this playin out live without any computerised studio bullshit and no fancy boutique gear. Absolutely love this. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing it 👌🌠🌌🌅
Back in the early nineties I had a job that required me to work for up to four months of each year in England, mainly in London. I miss the buskers and the fun street scene of those days, plus of course being younger.
Wow fucking brilliant. I haven't heard anything this good in years. You guys beat everything in the mainstream music scene with a big stick. Keep it up. Love and light. Paul.
One of the greatest 4-chord songs of all time (OK, 5 if you count the Bb at the end.) And a timeless lead that's easily one of the Top 5 in the history of rock and roll (I know, there's no such thing since it's all subjective, but still ...) It's not necessarily an easy lead to learn but the stripped down version of it is fairly easy to play with a bit of practice. You can play most of it with about 6-8 notes. Very nice job for a three- piece having to play without a full setup.
For all the haters...doubt you could have done any better. What's wrong with people? Always criticizing. Live music isn't supposed to be just like the record. These guys did a damn good job. They did their thing. Appreciate it or don't listen.
if you are busking,people just think you are shit because you are playing on the street,and cant get a gig anywhere else.it doesnt matter how good you are to them
Very 'tight' playing right up until the turnaround at the end. +1 agreed with a lot of the comments re. if they had another guitarist +vocals, i'm trying to imagine these guys on stage with a 'proper' sound mix, full drum kit etc. very easy to imagine as far as i am concerned. Seeing as this is 2012 I hope they have got from the street to a stage and became a 4/5 piece. Couldn't care less how they dressed - when you play on the street your clothes get hacky from the traffic fumes. Drummer probz looked stressed thinking - I coulda smoked that tab lolz. Cheers for the upload !!
The police siren as soon as the solo started could not have been more perfectly timed
That's cos someone driving by heard it and started speeding. 😁
Must have been an ambulance because that playing was fire
@@BameronCerrywhat about a Fire Truck 🚒
as soon as i heard that siren i came down here and saw a legit comment
WHEN THE FREE BIRD SOLO HITS
They sounded great and that crowd couldn't be any less enthusiastic...
Your right! But stop and think most of the people standing around weren't even born in 1973 when Freebird was first put on an album.
The crowd sounded quite responsive to me. Yet I've heard Janis Jopling complaining about ''European'' audiences so maybe you come from the U.S. too?
I know it looks like they never heard Freebird before??
The audio is perfectly clear and the first thing you think is "I wish the crowd was being loud and obnoxious"?
Real music lovers always cheer at the end of the song. You don't interrupt the music
Every time I see Free Bird played, the crowd go crazy wild. But in London's Oxford Circus, nothing. Should have played Walk on By.
Unlike what happened in Knebworth in 1976, eh?
Should have been singing
Alcohol
Someone having their best car chase 2:08
God damn right
Hahaha yes sir
lmao
suits the song
lmao XD
All three of them are very focused...The guitar player deserves special mention...His playing was no less than of a rockstar...
Not only the Bass Guitarist , but also the Drummer and the Lead Guitarist played the role here. Very good 3-member Band !!
How are so many people not absolutely losing it when this solo comes on?
Because it's a busy shopping centre and you're seeing a snapshot of about 10 people in the crowd.
Maybe they don't know who Lynyrd Skynyrd was?
The police went nuts. That's enough
Only the guy being chased by the cops, lol.
its london, mate.
I like how the guy that plays the siren isn't concerned with fame and stays off camera in the crowd, showing them the true love of a person that just lives to perform
That Nokia records better than a Neumann
The Nokia 808 PureView was one hell of a phone. The audio recording at high volumes was unreal and it took some spectacular photos. If I could have installed android on it I probably would be still using it now!
I loved all three! It was the best performance I've ever seen.
You need to get out more.
Those sirens somehow make the song even better. Those people should have been going crazy.
i love how the siren started right as the solo did. perfect timing!
Police sirens rang as soon as the solo, indicating that someone heard it and immediately started driving at twice the speed limit.
As it should be
As it always should
Whoa those sirens!!! Big Kudos to the band, wonderful performance!!!
The video and audio quality of that Nokia 808 seems really good! It even recorded the bassline, one of the common bottleneck of modern smartphones!
Also part of the JB sound that it has a bit of a lower-mid hump which is easier to record(and play back). Also what makes them work so well in a 3 piece, they fill out the sound
Great job guys. You three covered an all time classic honourably 👌
I just listened to a documentary about this group Leonard Skinnerd -- every single note and every single drum hit was written out to the T and they all played everything but only what they exactly approved of.
It's the energy from the bassist that drives this performance.
haha
The bass player looks like he passed out in his car overnight, slept in those clothes, and then arrived to practice with just seconds to spare.
Surely you jest! 😂
I agree.
For the same reason that Ed Kings original bass line drove the original song
That bass player is overplaying a lot. Compensating for a tiny...

The police sirens in the background just make it much cooler lmao
Guitar, bass and drums - good enough for Cream, ZzTop etc. Great sound. The blues and twos was a nice touch - perfect sync.
Yep. Just too many guitar players in the world. Nobody makes any money
Как же классно в тему звучали сирены🤩 чудесный момент когда проезжающие мимо машины становятся частью музыки, искусства и даже истории)
Wow that sirens just get it on the perfect time !
Reminds me of the ending of The Devil's Rejects
Yeah, for once they arrived on time.
@@robin3840 tee hee. They did arrive, though.
@@paigeroth402They probably just wanted to make it to the donut shop and used the siren to cut traffic. Scumbags.
alvian aditya kanzi
This ended up being a lot better than I thought it would be. The solo was pretty good.
They're amazing! Btw they're called Funfiction, they don't have a YT channel sadly, but there's plenty of videos of them busking 😁
What a show in jolly old England, enjoyed this. I hope someone yelled "Freebird" before they started
gotta give lots of respect to the bassist for doing an astonishing job
I'm a very amateur electric guitar player and this guy is very good..but wow..the bass player was rockin' hard, excellent playing and really laid down a great line!! 🎸🎵🎶👍
y'all lookin at the guitarist and im looking at the drummer. perfect transition and cooperation with the guitarist and bassist
All worked together really well;
if they'd played this in any US Southern states, folks would've been rocking out in the street!
The siren added some spice to the music. 😍
as a lifelong skynyrd fan gotta say WELL DONE GUYS you nailed it big time
Fantastic, and the sirens made it too.
Well your test recording was a success. Good sound. Impressed how well the kick translated out on the street. If I was there I would have offered to belt out the vocals.
Yes, it could have used some vocals.
back in college one day in 1978, my buddy and I plugged in our guitars. Now Carl was the actual musician. Me, I was a hack, but did have some training, can hit the chords, bars and all, and when it comes to lead I can fake it and stay in key. We jammed for about 20 minutes and had hundreds of people out behind the dorm feeling good. It was a spring day in Rhode Island
Props to you...and Carl, lol :-)

Great bass player too
@@scottganrud8058 a jolly good actually!
only one jamming out is grandma in the background in the pink.
Cause she was a teenager when this came out, like me ( i'm 63)
This is so good. People are standing around like they are in a museum.
Love it all guitar, bass & drums 😍 the drumer looks so chill he just sitting there looks cool and take owning the gig 🤘🏽
These guys are sooooo tight! Definitely NOT the first time they played
THAT together...
it gave me chills when I heard the police siren during main freebird solo
The siren in the background kinda works with the music.
felt the same too!
Yeah i thing its cool
special effect from...police
It was a warning
too right
808 pure view cant believe it was that great ,so many years ahead
That goosebump giving solo played on time because you can hear a cop chasing someone, you will hear the sirens lol
2:07 excellent timing for cops siren ...
That's 3 piece band ! So good guys. Thank you. Tucson, AZ.
Back in the early nineties I had a job that required me to work for up to four months of each year in England, mainly in London. I miss the buskers and the fun street scene of those days, plus of course being younger.
Guitarist right on, a favorite song of the south y’all !
Fuck yeah! I don't think it was a coincidence that the police siren started, right when dude kicked into the solo. So damn good, it's criminal!
the hand movements of all 3 are just amazing , they all did this while making it look like it takes no effort to play this song
This Nokia from 10 years ago still has better quality than a bank security camera
,,,wow, the legendary Nokia 808, brilliant cam and audio, even today would be hard to beat
Buddy was shredding so hard he couldnt finish his smoke...lol.
I really enjoyed this performance! All of the players were excellent, and I loved the guitarist in particular
That bass sounds epic... the whole band are superb...who the hell are they they are fantastic
Great job with such a small number of players. All pulled their weight nicely too.
Very nice, love this song and your guys did an awesome job covering it.
0:48 The guy in the blue hoodie on the left with a girl is having GTA San Andreas flashbacks 😂
Very High Quality Recording both Video & Audio. Excellent job from the Vlogger !!
Wow fucking brilliant. I haven't heard anything this good in years. You guys beat everything in the mainstream music scene with a big stick. Keep it up. Love and light. Paul.
difficult to believe that this audio was recorded on a phone. This is great
Those sirens in the back ground made it sound even better
I know the bass player stand's here for like all the time but daaamn... That 2:44 move was crazy...
This is excellent. Great guitarist wow
respect to the drummer...1 snare drum and the bass drum...sounded good!
Love this sort of thing, especially that BASS!!
Tim Davis, bass is my life. Without bass, I am without one leg.
1:48 is where the fun begins
One of the greatest 4-chord songs of all time (OK, 5 if you count the Bb at the end.)

Very nice job for a three- piece having to play without a full setup.
way to suck the magic right out of it -_-
Sirens are more cheerful than the crowd 😂
Spot on , im sure Ronnie was smiling down that day.
I ended up back here again. Bloody awesome! Wish I'd been there.
Yep, ends up back here. 10 yrs ago! arghhh
2:05 call and response, siren and guitar. noice
It's amazing how in THIS particular piece of musi I can't take my ears off the bassist and I'm not even a bassist myself
For all the haters...doubt you could have done any better. What's wrong with people? Always criticizing. Live music isn't supposed to be just like the record. These guys did a damn good job. They did their thing. Appreciate it or don't listen.
Jason Davidson usually music isn’t like the record buuut....... ua-cam.com/video/QxIWDmmqZzY/v-deo.html outstanding
Jason Davidson agree these guys are pretty good though 👍👍
@@jungle5507 Dude, I know what you mean. That's the sh!÷! They were so incredible. But between us, nobody can do it like that!
if you are busking,people just think you are shit because you are playing on the street,and cant get a gig anywhere else.it doesnt matter how good you are to them
Looks like a nice way to experience the day.
One of my old time favorites. Kids nowadays do not know what good music is.👍
Can't beat Skynyrd.....
As someone under 18 I happen to love this song
As someone underage, I happen to love this song
As a Teenager I love this song
Must have been an ambulance because that playing was fire
That lady in the back with pink clothes can tell many stories from her younger years... :)
Imagine actually playing freebird for a crowd and getting THAT reaction
Damn lol.. put his cigarette on his head stock to play the solo like an absolute legend. 😅😅
rhythm section f'in killed it
bro the grandma at the railing in the back is feeling it 100%
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your parents would've loved it."
the sirens once the solo hits, best part of the whole thing lol
Great talent on the streets. Love it. Even the siren had the courtesy to be in tune.
That solo is so hot that sirens are coming by right as he starts
Always important to know what phone a video was filmed on...
the ambulance in the background playing the guitar solo lol
Very 'tight' playing right up until the turnaround at the end. +1 agreed with a lot of the comments re. if they had another guitarist +vocals, i'm trying to imagine these guys on stage with a 'proper' sound mix, full drum kit etc. very easy to imagine as far as i am concerned.

Can't help looking at the girl on the left of the lead guitarist ..her eye make up is soooo dark!!👱♀️😁 fab performance btw😘
My god that guitar tone is incredible
Why did the police sirens make it sound more badass than it already was
Noticed how only one kid put money in their case and it look like copper coins what a cheapskate
WELL DONE ENJOYABLE COVER VERSION OF SUCH A ICONIC SONG. SIMPLY ❤️IT 👏👏👏👍😉
Great, great cover!! 3 piece at that. Who cares if the crowd got it...I sure enjoyed it! Awesome job guys!!
Camera quality better than my local banks
The sirens popping up during the solo was amazing timing.
"We go a hellcat on the loose. Sources say they are using the red key." lol
So many good musical buskers need vocals.
Why don't you volunteer?
fantastic playing. this man has some serious skills
.
estos tios sn buenìsimos.
These guys are impressive, VERY talented!!!!
guitarist is very good ! nice performance!
That one auntie at the back just vibing
