You can tell that this was cgi because if the expressions she makes during the solo, or rather the lack of one. It's a scientific fact that nobody can play the Freebird solo without making a grimace like they are having serious trouble pooping.
She's just really, really talented. I had the absolute blessed fortune to interview her back in '77 after the concert (this exact concert in the video!) and she'd told me that she practiced the entire song 10 times a day, for the past MONTH. That's why she was able to play the solo as if it were an extension of her body, or breathing. Thanks for bringing back some keen memories of my young days by discussing this.

Fun fact about this solo in Free bird, this wasn't in the original album release of the song, but was later added because of its popularity. Also Allen Collins (original guitarist who worked on the Free Bird solo) would be proud of Yui in this solo.
Not only was Steve Gaines not an original member but he had nothing to do with "Free Bird." This recording is all Allen Collins, the tone itself is a dead giveaway
THANK you. I had the original vinyl as a teen and was SO confused (especially since i kiiiinda bought it just for that solo) (for reference this was in 2014 lmao)
Shockingly not a single word of that is true. The solo was always part of the song, even in the demos and early live versions and Steve Gaines was not an original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
