The guitar solo that changed everyone's life.
Amen
Me upon giving a caveman a mountain dew bajablast
I can’t sit still when I hear this solo
Sure did
yes, so uplifting
Imagine just sitting down to listen to a song with no expectations, not realizing you are about to hear the greatest song of all time. Only on youtube...
Yess but the piano based version with Billy Powell is even better than this one he truly had Gifted Hands
Truth!!..
Yes!
sorry mate, one of the worst songs i've ever listened to... boring and cookie cutter as it comes with endless showponying ... so boring
@@THEGLORYRISING even though I disagree, I’m not going to come after you for it. Watch out for the ones who grew up with this song, they will hunt you down
The real tragedy is you can only hear this for the first time once in your life. This song still gives me goosebumps to this day.
everytime feels like the first time!
That solo stunned me the first time. I heard it first on Forrest Gump but didn't know it was half of this song. It was amazing
no, it is good that he' s hearing it at all, the guy is so young... nice that he is musicaly educating himself💪💓
The dooo youtuber guitarist play the solo on Omegle I immediately and listen to this song
Just look up all the variations that the band did for new listening experiences. My favorite is the Shade Tree Demo
"He's still going" after 1 minute of the solo
Me: he has no idea its on for the next 4 and a half minutes😂😂
and it's the studio version....live went on a while longer. maybe with the BEST FINISH ever.
Allen was probably still going 10 minutes after the fade out lol.
When Skynyrd played the Knebworth Festival in '76 Ronnie had to go out and reel Allen and the guys in from the end of the stage. Allen would probably go on for 20 minutes if Ronnie let him.
@@heartfanjim01 Allen said once that they had rehearsed this song so much that could go over 25 minutes.
🤘
@@rocketmann6969 the show where they supported the Rolling Stones and were told not to use the extended stage that was just for Keith and Mick, went "fuck it", wandered to the front of the stage and played about a ten minute solo that the Stones could just not follow..?
Hey I appreciate you covering Lynyrd Skynyrd ! My dad Bob Burns is the one on the drums and i know he would appreciate this video.
Love from India, love lynyrd skynyrd soo much
One of the greatest songs from the greatest bands in history.
Wow!
But I don’t know how anyone could be alive and NOT know one of the top 10 greatest bands of all time.
And personally, I don’t think drummers get enough credit.
Artimus played it live though I believe
The drummer for this song...WOW. Love it
Everyone waiting for that guitar solo
Exactly. Lol, that was awesome
When he paused it just before the solo my brain just kind of just went nnnnnrrrrrppppphhhh lol
everytime he calls it a slow relaxed chill song, im just sitting here like... oh you just wait a minute boy you gonna learn today!
my boi Allen Collins!!! RIP
And that's the short version
“This isnt a rock song its more like a country song” lmao typical thing to say for someone that hasnt heard the solo yet
Well its southern rock so its just country with some balls
@@tim6454 lmfaooo nice observation
It's called "County Rock "
It’s classic rock not country
I wanted to tell him "strap in, just wait"
This was my wife’s last song at her funeral this song means so much to me very emotional
Sending love brother
So sorry, Bud!
@Joel young . It may be late but I'm sorry for your loss xx
When I found out that my 20 year old friend died..I was driving. Right before I pulled up at home ..this song came on. So I think of Tommy Jones every time I hear this song.
who the fuck plays free bird at a funeral
Legend has it, the solo is still being played to this day.
you beat me to it lol
Yeah it is. By me. Every day. This kinda music is better than trash rap
RIP Collins
AND THE PROBLEM IS....?????
And people are still fighting in a make believe church in Kentucky.
I love it when people have no idea what’s about to go down when they first listen to this song 👌🏻😂🔥
I know and I smile like Willem DaFoe right before the outro.
That was my favorite part of this reaction too! I was a single Mom with 5 kids and 4, teenagers and early adults. When they pushed me too far, I went into my bedroom , locked the door and turned on Freebird full blast! And they KNEW to leave me alone! I had had enough and the long guitar solo was to release the frustration! I played it until all that was gone! Now they are all grown ! And I do fly a Freebird!
Amen
I remember listening to this for the first time on the radio, the guitar solo made me fall in love with it.
That’s the sound of legend right there. Notes of rock heaven. They were the greatest ones to ever have played rock music. Gone too soon! They is a place in gillsburg Mississippi some call sacred ground.. it’s way back on a lonely place where the world came crashing down, behind a no trespassing sign where few have ever been they say every nightfall you can hear freebird in the wind
Thank You for reacting to this song. It was my Dad’s favorite song. When we went to see them live in 2012, they started playing the guitar solo, and I looked beside me to see my dad with a beer in one hand and tears streaming down his face rocking the air guitar. One of my favorite memories in life. Unfortunately, just 5 years later, he died, and at his funeral, as promised, Free Bird was played.
I can relate to that 100% 🤪
It is the guitar riff that makes this song a great song.
🤘
My brother recently pasted 2 weeks ago n wanted played at his funeral ...im sorry for ur loss
this comment made me cry man
Just found your channel. Im a 57 year old white guy that farms for a living! Loved your break down of the song and wish everyone would explore other music than what we are comfortable with. New subscriber because of your honest takes! Keep on growing brother!
Thank you for providing us with the food. Farmers don't get the appreciation they deserve these days.
@@BLaCkKsHeEp thank you so much! Most farmers I know are having a hard time getting by right now. But the truckers, the electricians, plumbers, trashmen....ect. all make our lives much better. People like you make it all worth while.
@@thepitpatrol youre a respectible guy id like to hang out with, thanks for your work
@@rmc5607 thank you sir!
Hi, I just wanna say thanks for all you do. I’m 17 and I’m thinking of being a farmer, I live in the city and I hate it, I just wanna get out and live in the country and go fishing every day.
It absolutely makes me so happy to watch the young generation discover songs like this for the first time. Free Bird is a freakin religion to some people !!!
Loved this..love what your doing...your face is priceless during this...rock on..from a Woodstock hippy girl✌
Facts!
In my opinion the greatest song ever written
Ain’t nothing racist about different cultures listening to different musics man, I really appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone
🤘🏾
100% agree, music transcends race, nationality, etc.
Exactly!
I work for an international corporation. Got the opportunity to meet and work with people from all over the world. People who are willing to better themselves pretty much have the same aspersions, a better life for their children than they had! I started in textiles!! One step up from hell!! Problem is it's all millions of southerners ever knew, and they snatched it right out from under them! Thriving community's turned into slums. Noone cared about it till it started happening in places like Detroit!!!
I agree. Man I was listening to Aretha Franklin and ended up here. Grew up on rock n heavy metal, but love all good music. As long as it’s good, I like it. From Metallica, to Elton John, Guns N’ Roses, Biggie, Kanye, Whitney Houston. All good music makes me feel good in different ways.
It’s literally one of the best songs of all time.
This is Skynyrd’s Stairway to Heaven.
Played this and simple man at my Dad's funeral he was 52 when the good lord called him home🙏
My dad was 52 as well when he was called home. Fly high freebird🕊
They were pure southern rock. The best southern rock of all time.
You have learned at a young age what it took me half a lifetime to learn -- EVERY genre of music has some gems. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I completely agree with you. Every genre of music has their gems
@Adam Perissinotto mumble rap neither
That is basically fact
Exactly, I'm 46, been a rocker most of my life, but thanks to the wonders of UA-cam I've exposed myself to other types of music than I used to, even artists that this guy might like. People like Stormzy, he's good. Not the kind of thing I would listen to often but it takes talent to do the kind of music Stormzy does. The kind of talent I don't have lol.
So I wanna share my story with this song. Since a small child my dad ALWAYS sang this to me.. it was our song in 2013 my dad committed suicide and it wasn't until losing him that way this song hit me completely different then when I was growing up. I now hear these words as my dad saying goodbye to his only daughter (child). It's how I came to forgive him for leaving me and why I know he is now free! I have an eagle shedding a year tattooed on my leg for my dad because of this song!
You really need to watch a live video of these two guitars dueling! This band has 5 or 6 guitarists and two drummers! I'm so glad you like our “old people” music!!!
That riff is still being played. It has never stopped
🤓
🤣🤣🤣
Best answer ever! You just won the internet!
Legend has it....
Hope it never stops
it's been said: "music ain't got no color"
Amen Brother!
They say math and music are the only true universal languages
@@lesterforney6200 And math only proves itself.
Great point!✌
@@TarossBlackburn that's because music is so cool it doesn't have to prove anything LOL
I love watching the reaction of someone his age hearing music from my generation and enjoying it as much as we did back in the day. Some music just transcend the generations.
14 y/o here. My mother was more of a 21st century music person, but my father was all classic rock, blues and country. Got into this type of music a couple years ago and it never ends. From Simple Minds to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Rush, I just keep going deeper, and I can’t wish it any other way.
Yea im 62 and wacthing people reaect to this lot black Sabbath or evsn Elvis its fun fo. Watch
I met my wife of 39 years while this song was playing. My favorite song of all time. The guitar work is by far the greatest in the rock world. It still gives me goosebumps
My man's listening to this the same way an entire generation did... eyes closed just being in the moment.
Lol I Thought the same bout closing your eyes that’s the way I do it .... half way. I am 55 and we played this at a junior high dance it was pretty dam cool then
The way it is meant to be listened to.
Just like it played at every party. And it got quiet just to let it wash over you!
Now that's what they called Rock N Roll kid.Your music today is crappy compare to back then in our times is nothing but always a good time.
Yes, but the guy watching it isn't high lol .
Doesnt matter if you think you're "uncultured" brother, you're willing to open your mind to new music and new experiences. That's amazing.
Can’t become cultured if you don’t sample the culture.
@@theyakamoz1 yeah mine only listen to rap mostly. I listen to all. New rap sucks though
True story: radio station DJ's would play this song when they had to go take a dump.
Yeah, like Sympathy for the Devil, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and Stairway to Heaven. All amazing songs, but they all had their purposes as those emergency records
60's and 70's classic rock is some of the best out there. Skynyrd, Eagles, Super Tramp, Fleetwood Mac, so many more.
Super tramp lol. Cheeeeeeesy
I’m a 60 year old white man who was blessed to see them in concert 3 times! Your doing a fine job! Love your reviews! They are honest and from the heart! Keep up the great work! Music is not about color!
3 times?! all those precious memories, I can only wonder what it was like then.
My husband and I saw them several times in Charlotte, NC and I think In Columbia, SC. We actually saw them at their last concert in Spartanburg, SC. Love this song, it is my favorite even though it makes me cry. My husband told me he couldn’t change his addiction problem, nor did he want to change while we were listening to this song. We’ve been married since 1974. And he has changed, but has suffered through the years.
@@sheilarobbins7670 ... Big Hugs to you & your husband. 🤗. 🌹🌺💚
@@austinglass1916 we were fortunate to have been young in the ‘70s when it was real music. No lip syncing, no auto tune. We saw most of the greats here in the south. We grew up with the “Toy Factory” that later became The Marshall Tucker Band. I played foosball with the band, but didn’t know it was them, nor did they know me. It was more like hey you want to play? Me, sure. Alice cooper gave a weird but unforgettable concert. Ted Nugent, ZZ Top, just to mention a few. That is the unfortunate thing of being young in the ‘70’s......you have a lot of memory loss 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but what you remember was great!
I'm 60 also, the best music generation!
“This joint is nice and smooth”, and the guitarist says “Aight, Imma hit this solo”
First thing I thought of when I heard him say that
I just thought yeah think smooth, best way to be introduced to one of the greatest riff in guitar history
😂😂
He spoke too soon.
I bout fell over when he said " I'm getting a headache.". He getting that HEAVY dose of Skynyrd
People tend to love or hate this song. It's so smooth and lovely. Then ... rocking out. I LOVE IT!
As a musician i appreciate you covering this song .. many still do not know who Lynyrd Skynyrd is .. very famous musician in my music taste .. lead guitar your looking for the myth and legend Gary Rossington R.I.P .. that guitar solo changed many of soul’s throughout rock as it is now
I'm an old rocker from way back when so allow me to say this. I'm happy to see the younger generation appreciate the music I grew up with. Not many groups of today's music come close to old rock and roll from the sixties through the eighties. Today's music either has good music and bad lyrics or great lyrics and bad music. Few achieve both. Most cannot put an album together that is good all the way through. Keep listening to the old stuff you won't be disappointed. It's great too see your reaction to when music was good!
I feel ya, I am so grateful to have witnessed this type of music in real time. God Bless the Boomers and their music!
@@deel2621 boomer music was the best. Not a boomer tho
You speak the truth ! Been listening to skynyrd since 1975
This tune is THE "I'm leaving my hometown to find my place in the world" anthem to every teenager seeing the place they were born disappear in the rear view mirror.
Me right now literally lol
Hayes Hancock go get em buddy the worlds your oyster...!
Freebird was a huge hit back in the day. We had Day on the Green concerts where the baseball field was blanket to blanket and the stadiums at night and everyone was standing and rocking out and just into it...if you can imagine it a new song and live.
The story I heard was that this song was originally much shorter but they needed it longer to finish the album and they added the guitar part to the end and a legendary song was born
Not believing your ears with that guitar solo it's actually 3 guys, but it's mind blowing to watch them do it. Check out Freebird live from Oakland in !977 absolutely amazing
Sorry but that solo is all Allen Collins...check your history
@@Jack-hk1cc nah your doing Steve Gaines dirty
@@justben193 he is saying, the studio version is only Allen Collins. Both of the guitar tracks are played by Allen on the studio version (without rhythm).
@@justben193 if you want to see the master at work look up Skynyrd at Knebworth Fair 1976...Free Bird...it’s all Allen...not taking anything away from Gaines...but this is Collins...Let’s just agree that they always kicked ass...too bad they have a tribute band out there now...the originals live on👍🏻
Exactly, Live is Best!!!!!!
Ronnie Van Zant’s voice in this song always gives me chills, lost but never forgotten
Ronnie didn't sing lyrics, he DECLARED them.
Amen!!!
One of the best bands I seen them in concert before the crash and after
He's playing the guitar like it owes him money. What a great way to describe the solo. Excellent reaction Jojo.
When I was the reviewers age I had a very narrow appreciation for music I am so impressed with this generation. This man's generation has a much greater appreciation for music and a much greater appreciation of diversity in music. I hadn't heard the song in decades I had forgotten how good it is. Thanks for the review! BTW what possible physical metaphor is in the solo, I always had a thought about it ;)
I LOVE your willingness to LISTEN to different music. You are on a magical journey. Never quit!! We love you!!
Beautiful Southern girl Jennifer,
Together with epic song..
A-Men
@@demetriuscooksey7147 amen = let it be so, so be it, or - it is true..
Absolutely!! He admits he feels uncultured. Not so, he is willing to listen and observe. That's half the game right there. Much L&R for that!!!
You're definitely not uncultured just because you haven't been exposed to, or grew up listening to rock. It's one of life's greatest pleasures to discover a whole new genre of music, enjoying it, appreciating it, and at best it evokes an emotional response.
My mom was a flight attendant back in the 90's.
Whenever she came home, she always brought new foods for us.
I remember going "eww. Yuck. I dont want to eat that. It LOOKS gross. Etc"
Lesson she taught me: just try it. If you dont like it, you dont like it but you might discover something new you like.
As an adult, I can cook dishes from Filipino, American, Italian, French, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc... 😅
Thanks for the lesson mom!
Best concert I ever saw. Ronnie played for an hour and a few and he was sick. I loved it!!!
Grew up near brick house road... Use to hear these guys practicing....it's called Southern Rock....Funny thing, married to traveling musician...rock, blues.... This is one of the songs everyone always request....
Just because you haven't heard some of these songs doesn't mean you're un- cultured it means you're young and you have your own genre of music that you like to listen to and we're raised up on. I think it's wonderful now that you're wanting to find out about all this amazing music that we all love so much.
Well said!
He is no longer a deprived child. He has now tasted "Southern Rock" and there is no "un-tasting" it. Wait until he hits on Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws (The Guitar Army), Marshall Tucker and other fine Southern Artists.
Doesn't matter how you grew up, our ( above 6
0) music ill always be the Best !
I'm young 16 put i dont do munch rap. Mainly r&b and rock. My dad grew me up with all kinds of songs never new. So im barley living in 2017 rn
Very well said, it's not because you are uncultured. For a long time Lynard Skynyrd was looked on as being a racist group because they always flew a Confederate flag at their concerts. It was often said that if you listened to them that you were racist. Anybody that chooses to actually listen to their songs can see that they are just a great band singing great songs with no hate in their hearts
There's nothing like watching someone discover a song you've been listening to for years and have that reaction you first had. Keep it going, brother.
💓 💪
Absolutely loved seeing how he was just feeling the song to his soul.
freebird is not a song. ITS AN EXPERIENCE!!! imagine being there live concert when they first wrote it.
I'm a 40 year old black woman that fell in love with this song after I seen the movie devil's rejects when I was 25 lol...loved this song ever since!💞
Thank you for making me feel old.
Well I'm a 57 year old white male that didn't hear this song till I was 50 lol.
@@thepitpatrol Shane I highly suggest that you purchase pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd put some headphones on give yourself 2 hours
@@curtiswallauer4330 will do!
🌹lol, I hear ya!!
knew that solo was gonna change this man's whole life
I love watching the LFR Family's reactions. Nothing like watching a first-timer's face light up when they suddenly realize why we request the hell out of our favorite songs! Enjoy the journey brother, you'll never regret experiencing new music!
"He's playing the guitar like it owes him money"
Had me rolling bro
When your backup guitar needs a backup because the solo went insane.
Or listen to Mark Knopfler when Eric Clapton was his backup guitarist
Not really the way the band worked, but OK!💀💀💀
@@gridster1237
Especially back then. They could freely play and they did.
Great example of classic US Southern rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd has a sad history: a tragic plane crash led to the end of the band at the height of their fame.
Survivors formed the Rossington Collins Band but yea, never reached that height again
Sacrificed.
No, it didn't end, though.
@@donnahilton471
Nope. They won. They're music still played today.
In 73 I went to a Who concert, this was the warm-up band, I had never heard of them, I was blown away, bought their album the next day.
I love watching young people listen to lynard Skynard the first time it changes your whole outlook on music
"Which one of these dudes is on the guitar"
The short answer is yes! At times they'll have three different people playing at the same time. That's why it sounds so dense.
And the wonderful thing is each part broken down is pretty easy. Combining them.........multiple musical orgasms
The main dude on guitar fot this song qas Allen Collins. Sadly he has passed but he was a GREAT guitarist !
The original Three Guitar Attack.
@@ItzSpeedy09 Gary Rossington is playing slide, Alan Collins plays the lead in the solo and Ed King plays rythm and accompanies Alan in the solo.
This is all Allen Collins. He wrote the entire song including the solo, slide parts. Rhythm, etc. During the solo on the studio version, Allen is actually mostly quadruple tracked, which means he recorded 4 solos and they mixed them into the final mix. So while it may seem like multiple guys playing this solo, it is ALL the man Allen Collins
The look on Jo Jo's face when they went into the jam was priceless.
I was waiting for that!!
This song is a musical masterpiece
I love the reaction when the Solo starts. The first time I heard this song, Same thing. The fact that he respects the music is strong. I'm a huge fan of most genres of music. From classical (Like mozart) to Heavy metal. Not a huge modern rap fan, although there are some good tunes that I can jam to. I absolutely love 90's and early 2000's rap though.
This is my first time viewing this channel. This is truly amazing. I like seeing stuff like this.
As I said, I love music, I recently saw something that said "A world without music is a world that I don't want to live in" and I can agree with that.
You are sweet and generous to have the patience to listen to all these tunes that aren't and weren't in your sphere. You’re a good hearted man and I thank you.
Southern Rock the pride of Jacksonville, Florida my home for 70 years Go Lynyrd Skynyrd
Duval💪🏽
I miss living in Jacksonville back in the day, and I miss Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Tampa here. 💜
I've lived in jax beach my whole life and I DIDNT KNOW THIS IS WHERE LYNRYD SKYNYRD WAS FROM?!?!? 😳😳
West side
I was looking for Larry Bird videos and UA-cam somehow dropped me here. I'm glad they did. This is a great video and you have a great channel.
One of the absolute greatest songs ever Allen Collins is a guitar god he has passed away but he was a genius....Southern Rock at its finest...Your reaction was priceless....
was he on the plane?
He was on the plane during the crash but that's not what he died from he died from pneumonia.
Your face and reaction during the lead part, has been the same look on everyone's face for Generations who listen to this song. 👍rock on.
Read this comment at the exact time it started. Lmao
nothing like someone experiencing a facemelting for the first time eh?
So true
I’m a fan of the genre but this song never gets old. My fav by far.
Haha what was his look when they told him there's 3 lead guitar players in this band
'Which one of these dudes is on the guitar?' Answer: Yes.
Lol
The only correct answer.
Producer: How long will the guitar solo be?
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Yes.
gary rossington and allen collens
like 3 guys??
SOUTHERN ROCK at it’s MOST FINEST baby!!! 💕
This is the type of music I grew up to, and your reaction is similar to mine when I hear black rappers spit amazing bars. Happy we can cross ways and share music taste. Much love brother
As a lifelong fan i can suggest you should hear the real full 14 minute version. They pushed every limit for thier era. RIP Ronnie Van Zant
@G Man. Also listen to the Outlaws "Green Grass & High Tides"
Great Love song from Southern Rock where the guitar literally dies of exhaustion at the end!!
I would suggest anyone watch a live version of the song where all 3 guitars get together play the solos it's amazing. Rossington and Medlocke are amazing guitarists
RIP RONNIE VAN ZANT!!! Your amongst the ROCK GODS now🙏🏿🤘🏾
@@Kaylin_h how many verses? 3? 2 chori? And about 7 minutes of guitar solo. Legendary track
@@Kaylin_h dide wtf thats so op check out iron butterfly
And that, my friend, is Free Bird! I couldn't wait to see the face melt when that guitar kicked in! LOL
I’m 67 years old. I remember when this song was first released. I had the same reaction you did. And every time I listen to it I have the same reaction you did and will until I die. An amazing work of art.
This is my first time watching you. I am 69, and I grew up on Lynard Skynard. Sadly, the 3 main members died in a private plane crash, but they made a lot of great music. But if you think that blew your mind, you need to hear Pentatonix's Hallelujah. They are 4 men and 1 women. They are an acapella group, and I know you're thinking-what, acapella, but yo0u have never heard anything like this, and I promise there are no background tracks or special effects, except for reverb in their microphones. This video got over 600 million views. And I don't care what kind of music anyone likes, I have never met or seen anyone who wasn't immediately hooked on this group after watching just one of their videos. I really liked your reaction:)
Who else went directly to the guitar solo to see his face ? 😅
Jamming out to this in the woods with a bonfire, beer and a little smoke was how we rolled back in the day.........at 8:30 your reaction put a smile on my face.....👍
That is a great thought....
Yessss so many memories of doing that in high school
Still do
@@brianlarsen3030 ......I heard that !! 👍
Freebird is a SPECIAL song. I'm glad you like it. 🔥🔥🔥👍😎
Dude, you are appreciative and wise beyond your years, good reaction man!!!
You’ve stumbled across one of their greatest numbers, it’s an old song but still as good as it gets. I keep saying this, but it makes me happy to see young people discover this band. There are three guitarists in this number.
Don't forget Leon Wilkinson on bass.
“Which dude is soloing?”
“The one with the long hair”
Yeah or the one holding the guitar,😉😏😒
Allen Collins
Ronnie wrote the solo for Allan Collins just before they went to woodstock thats when Allen joined the band
They all got long hair lol
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down.
I think everyone’s mind gets blown listening to this masterpiece for the first time
The look on your face when it switches gears is priceless.
It's called talent, not manufactured it's raw skill and talent. Ahhhhhh the 70's
Gimme Three Steps...The Breeze...Cry For The Bad Man....What’s Your Name..
The underrated "I ain't the one" from this, their first album. It's the first track on the album. Not to mention "Working for MCA" featuring some coldass guitar work from Ed King.
Charles Bolen That Smell!
All Skynrd
Every one of us over 60 knew to turn it up when he started that guitar solo. This was what we grew up listening to.
All of us folks who grew up in the 70's listened to this all of the time. Glad you got to hear it for the first time and enjoy what we have for 50 years.
There were two versions of this song. A shorter 'air play' version and the "long" version. Radio DJ's used to put on the "long" version of this song if they had to do things like use the restroom or let the pizza guy in the side door. I was the pizza guy, that's how I know. We used to make the "DJ pie" right before closing, then count out and head over to the station after hours. If we were still on the way to the station and heard Freebird come on, we knew we were running behind.
That's actually a really neat story!
In ‘75 I had the late shift on the college station. I would always put something long on so I could put everything up and be ready to sign off at 3 a.m.
One night I threw on “Thick As A Brick” and got everything taken care of.
I cut it off just a couple of seconds early to start my sign off
Phone rang and I thought it was my girlfriend.
A WASTED dude, “Hey man you didn’t play the rest of the song!”
“Sorry dude I stopped it just a little early “
“No man. The other side! You gotta play the other side!!!”
“Sorry dude I got to split”
As for THIS react, you don’t know what you don’t know.
Whether you do another react to it,
watch Free Bird in Oakland and the live version from Knebworth.
It’s debated as to which of these is
THE GOAT
Greatest rock performance of all time.
Anything else you do of Skynyrd use the live version Fox Theater Atlanta
The album was called “One More FROM The Road “.
@@Bamaboompa the difference between the two performances is that one group knew the song and the other one didn’t, much like this reaction.
I'm a Southern girl & this is a huge song & definitely Southern 🎸 Rock!
Jennifer Hurlburt See my comment above☝️☝️

Jennifer Hurlburt I’m 13 and from the south was actually listening to this the other day with a propane torch in one hand tank in the other clearing brush I started singing to it and now I’ve got no more brush in that clearing
@@jasonsfarm37 Nice to see another young lady paying attention to great music! My younger daughter is now 17 and I started turning her on to great music a few years ago- She “gets” it! Makes me proud....
77 live helped me deal with my father's death 12_28_20 9_28_63
One of most iconic southern rock bands
Lynard synard was a man that the group all knew. At the time they figured why not name their band after this guy. If I remember correctly. He was a gym coach that said they wouldn’t amount to much. The band actually lost some of their band in the 70’s due to a plant crash. This song while I was growing up I wanted to play at my funeral. The band was a band that was southern rock. They came from the south. Totally a great band! I love that you’re stepping out of your comfort genre! I have listened to a lot of bands over my years. Even rap! I loved Tupac and the old rappers!! Enjoy!!
This dude look like he was at the enchantment under the sea dance during that guitar solo.
I guess he wasn't ready for it. But his grandparents are gonna love it.
@@DerrickMims thank you for getting my joke.
Thats what you get from a "oldie but goodie" :)
They had 3 lead guitars, “The Guitar Army”.
best song ever
Free BIRD!
Little brother. that's what it's all about. Don't let anybody take it from us
That's what it's all about. Don't let anybody take it from us God bless your family and God bless America!
Music doesn't care what colour people are. That's what's so great about it. This reaction is priceless. The world needs more music and less politics. "Playin' that guitar like it owes him money" Subbed mate. Absolutely beautiful 😂.
Now you have heard the audio, you need to see the live version. It’s even better. Lynyrd Skynyrd “freebird live at Oakland coliseum “. You won’t be disappointed. Great reaction!!
Day on the Green...1977
@Mario Martin Martinez ----disagree, Oakland is best because of the crowd.
@@jacklewis5452 I was there! 😆
I was there at Day on the Green! Bill Graham Presents. Went to everyone of those I possibly could!
SIMPLE MAN I agree.
Yes! My Man. Stepping out of our comfort zone brings a world of Magic that is life itself. As for Freebird you nailed it! He's telling his girl that he must be on his way to keep the life force going. The second half of this song, is Them Soaring like the Free bird that they are. They are musicians and therefore always soaring between concerts and making New music. That is the life of many a musician. Music suggestion, as much as You and all of Us who love Free Bird's story & jammin follow this line of thought with Bob Seger's "Turn the Page". Like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger is a down home rock & roll singer songwriter, but no country style here, as his sound is Slick! He's a Storyteller!!!
This warms my heart👍😊; 45 years after this came out & this young man gets this song.
Oh, it's Alan Collins on guitar
Saw this concert two days before the plain crash rip Ronnie vanzant
Man you are lucky I don't why I never did go to one of their concerts before the plane crash
Oh God so sad. I remember when that happened. Played this song everyday for months.
My dad was at one of the last one before the plane crash.
@@puffinsmoke7 your dad had a rare treat then I saw them in Lakeland Florida
🙏❤️😔
I love this video because the whole time hes talking about how its this vibey country song and not really rock and roll and I'm just sitting here thinking man is he in for a surprise lmao
😈😱😜😂
Same here. Loved it. So refreshing
This solo is freakin' amazing. It's the closest I've ever felt to a "ear-gasm" (climax @12:03 !), the ramp is perfect :D
Now you see why people often yell “freebird!” at concerts! No one can cover it, so it’s a longggggg running joke
