Great reaction. I've watched many Freebird reaction videos and yours is one of the best. Spontaneous dancing and you never paused the guitar solo, thanks. As others have mentioned the live performance of this at the Oakland Coliseum in 77, you owe it to yourself to watch it, it will blow you away.
The lead guitarist, Allen Collins, nearly lost an arm in the plane crash. His dad convinced the doctors to not amputate it. The very first line of this song was from a fight Collins had with his wife, when she asked him that question. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth a few years after the crash. Collins started heavily using drugs and alcohol, resulting in a car crash a few years after her death. It left him paralyzed. He died about 10 years later of pneumonia. As bad as the plane crash was, surviving was almost as bad. Allen Collins was a monster on guitar, yet routinely gets overlooked.
Must watch Live in concert....WOW ITS A EXPERIENCE...I'm a Grandmother now, but I was here....Damn we had fun, Enjoying your Channel Grand Funk Railroad Song....Inside Looking Out 1969 live....another Fantastic Live Jam Performance Santana...Woodstock 1969 Soul Sacrifice...half a million people showed up at Woodstock 1969...3 days of Rock and Roll...
This song has everything. Tempo change, build ups, slow intro and verses with great lyrics, vocals, story telling, a memorable chorus… and of course a crazy guitar solo to end it. All of these musicians were great.
There was a programme on BBCTV called "the old grey whistle test" all live music and throughout all the amazing artists that were on it when it ended for the celebration This group and number was the highest request.
A lot of people say to watch the live in Oakland version, but I think the live version at Knebworth in England in 1976 is better. IMHO. Oh and the guy making the beautiful slide guitar sounds the first half of the song is Gary Rossington.
Even though you're clearly someone that likes pausing/skipping back and giving your thoughts moreso than some other reactions - I very much appreciate that you inherently understood you COULD NOT PAUSE once the song kicked into gear. Great reaction!
The grand masters of Southern Rock, or, as I like to call this band, along with all my other favorites from the later 20th century, GUITAR ROCK. I've been a fan since I first heard them at 15 back in 1976. In my world...if it aint' got bitchin' electric guitar work goin ' on, I just don't go there. Guitar rock speaks to me because the electric guitar lends itself so incredibly to producing an endless variety of human emotions like few other instruments have or can. ROCK ON !
Allen Collins and Ed King are the two lead guitarists during the solo on the Pronounced album. Steve Gaines joined after Ed left and is seen in the live versions at Knebworth and Oakland
"That is why this song has 77 MILLION VIEWS" LOL and this is why I love watching people get "Skynyarded". Because they just don't know............until they experience it for the first time.
It's always such a joy to see someone with clear musical appreciation abilities getting slapped in the face with this greatness for the first time. There is a thousand tunes I could recommend right now (Black sabbath, War Pigs) but I will suggest this. Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Voodoo Child live. Best of luck with the channel.
Everyone seems to react to stuff after the 60s-70s. I've played and produced music (ooooooooooooooooooooold) for a good 20-30 years. There's amazig things you can find form over 100 years ago. Elgar's Nimrod (originally meant clever hunter). Wagner's (Nazi scum who inspired Hitler) Ring Cycle. Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountian. When you consider that there were no electronic Instrumentation and all they had were orchestal instruments, they're pretty fucking amazing!
You asked who was playing the guitar. The slide guitar played at the beginning is Gary Rossington. The ending is played by Alan Collins & Steve Gaines. You have to watch the live version!
Yep, music at it's finest. First reaction that I'm catching of yours, I know you got good music taste. Free bird get you grooving no matter the style, I'm normally pulling a stank face and head spazzing like Em, Busta or DMX is spitting some fire bars! Keep up bro. I'm gonna check out the rest of your content. BIG SUPPORT! FREEE BIRDDDD! (Google why ppl scream this at 'everyone's' concerts, interesting) :) Try Black Sabbath - N.I.B (Nativity in Black)
Imagine- music made without "samples" and "beats"! Real music by real musicians. Not that I don't like and appreciate rap (I do) - but this is why many of us older people call this real music.
Southern Rock is knows no color. The saying is that Duane Allman played guitar on Hey Jude cover with Black soul singer Wilson Pickett and thus Southern Rock was born
Yes Brother loving your passionate reaction, your wonderful laughter at bill burr too. Please react to Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe live at Monterey. Peace and Love. G
As an old white honky hippie I love that you enjoyed this so much
Southern rock at its finest. They have a large catalog. Part of the original band died in a plane crash in 1977.
All of them are gone now.
@@Lezduit1 they are as free as a Bird 🦅🦅🦅
@@Lezduit1 I have gone to each of their grave sites.
Your dancing was that of a free bird for sure. You made me smile. I needed that.
Redneck southern ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!
Great reaction. I've watched many Freebird reaction videos and yours is one of the best. Spontaneous dancing and you never paused the guitar solo, thanks.

Nice to see you feel the music the way we did first hearing and it never gets old.
The live version of this song in Oakland California is better believe it or not. The guitar solo is crazy. The next song I would do is simple man.
I totally agree
Wholeheartedly agree!🤘🏻
It's great 👍
It’s much better around a bonfire in the woods with a cold keg of beer and some good weed………that’s how we partied in the 70s
Man ur reaction ITS the best so Far....u Just showed us How every body feels inside listening this song for the First time

Great review! Glad you liked it. This is rock!
Dance was epic bro!! Loved the reaction. 👌
Hands down. The best Free Bird reaction to this day. Great job
You make me so happy!

Finally! i never see anyone suggesting "Soul Sacrifice Woodstock '69" Hopefully he reacts to it
This song has everything. Tempo change, build ups, slow intro and verses with great lyrics, vocals, story telling, a memorable chorus… and of course a crazy guitar solo to end it. All of these musicians were great.
Let’s fuckin GO!!! Hell yea! That’s the proper response brother!
Dude went full Free Bird.

Very nice dancing, this was fun! Thanks (Oh, they had at least 3 guitars doing this intense part, so good)

Dancing to this song will give you a workout!
Never thought I’d see someone get sturdy to freebird
That music grabbed your soul ❤ great reaction
Enjoyed watching you enjoy what I grew up with.
There was a programme on BBCTV called "the old grey whistle test" all live music and throughout all the amazing artists that were on it when it ended for the celebration This group and number was the highest request.
That was a nice performance, but they were missing Ed King badly on that one.
A lot of people say to watch the live in Oakland version, but I think the live version at Knebworth in England in 1976 is better. IMHO. Oh and the guy making the beautiful slide guitar sounds the first half of the song is Gary Rossington.
SAW THEM TWICE !!! 🤯🎸🔥🐐😁😍🤯🎸🔥🐐😁😍
Yours is the best reaction! Lol. All Skynyrd is good rock n roll
October 20 1977.r.i.p. you guys are the best

Great to see your reaction, Skynyrd has a huge catalog worth checking out
The live of this is incredible and a must see.
Feel free !

Even though you're clearly someone that likes pausing/skipping back and giving your thoughts moreso than some other reactions - I very much appreciate that you inherently understood you COULD NOT PAUSE once the song kicked into gear. Great reaction!
Was played in my friends funeral. Died of an overdose. It was his favorite song, and in the end he was finally free too.
Always makes me cry now.
The Oakland concert has got to be your next move.
Lynyrd Skynyrd free bird live at Oakland Collisium 1977. It will blow your mind.
The only appropriate reaction to this song is to get up and dance! Bravo!
I love seeing young people react to this song for the first time, lol....
The best guitar solo.

Southern Rock..at its finest!
Yes sir Ronnie we still remember you…

Guitar and Drumer giving their best

That put a big smile on my face. You should react to the live version so you can see them playing the guitars. There are 4 guitars.
Southern Rock baby !
Gary Rossington on slide guitar (played before the solo). Allen Collins launches and crushes the solo for 7 minutes.
Allen Collins and Ed King are the two lead guitarists during the solo on the Pronounced album. Steve Gaines joined after Ed left and is seen in the live versions at Knebworth and Oakland
Got to watch the live version from Oakland CA to see the best guitar solo ever!!!
That's Southern Rock at it's very best
The live version is at least 2 minutes longer and this is the encore they play it after almost 2 hours of playing
I love that Song and i love that you like it too
"That is why this song has 77 MILLION VIEWS" LOL and this is why I love watching people get "Skynyarded". Because they just don't know............until they experience it for the first time.
best solo ever!
You need to do the live version at Oakland California on July 2, 1977…
I'm waiting for the middle melody...it will blow your mind. This is my favorite song of all time.
Southern Rock. Is what it's called.
It's always such a joy to see someone with clear musical appreciation abilities getting slapped in the face with this greatness for the first time.

Ayy ...my man turned into free bird himself 😂
Gary Rossington is playin' slide guitar. Waite till you hear Allen Collins on lead guitar.
Southern Rock !!
You gotta try Call Me The Breeze. You won't be able to sit still.
Check out some Pink Floyd. Hey you, Time, Money, Comfortably numb are all bangers. Comfortably numb from the 1994 pulse concert will blow your mind.
This is southern rock.

Steve Gaines did not play on this album. Ed King was guitar number three for the first 3 albums, and played bass on most of the first.
I love your energy and ❤️
It's called southern rock

They almost made him want to go back to 1977.
You are cool as fuck... Loved the reaction. Peace!
Man said linrid skinrid
More Southern Rock would be Allman Brothers Whipping Post live at Fillmore east.
Try "Things goin' on" from that same album. This has to be one of the best debut albums ever (1973).
Imagine- music made without "samples" and "beats"! Real music by real musicians. Not that I don't like and appreciate rap (I do) - but this is why many of us older people call this real music.
this brother caught the vibe and the beat of this song like a white person what a great reaction
Southern Rock is knows no color. The saying is that Duane Allman played guitar on Hey Jude cover with Black soul singer Wilson Pickett and thus Southern Rock was born
Your reaction is priceless 👍❤️now…listen to the LIVE performance in Oakland California 1977- you’ll absolutely go BESERK!👌😁😁
