Not sure if thats true with forever, you know, we are right at the begin of going through an anti-Christian age and its unknown of what will remain after that. God bless
@tes-uu9sf Blissful ignorance mate. Didn't need to fathom it...u were busy living what's in front of you. Plenty to love about those amazing days of old mate 👌. Bet u guys didn't miss social media denigrating relationships & retarding critical thinking. Friendships online now. Go figure 🤔....Some nostalgic memories are well worth remembering . Happy days 👌
@AWSgraphics yes...most unfortunate 😕... we're all at lifes mercy from birth. So a long life is most fortunate when many miss out !!!! U take care now...😎
My Dad was at this concert. He’s 66.. I wasn’t born until well into the 80s but one thing I’ll always carry with me is my Dads taste in music. Several Skynyrds songs never leave my playlist.
@@Scorpiobwmy dad was exactly the same. a lot of nostalgia in songs like this for me as i’m sure it’s the same for you. i was born in 2000 but my dad was born in ‘64. i’m so glad he showed me real music that was made from a deep place inside. stuff like this is very hard to find today, damn near impossible. same goes for concerts. the last great one in my opinion was woodstock ‘99.
@ben3tiger play to the grandchildren mate 👌. They might realise u got amongst some great times & great vibes..takes u right back to great times of old 👍 Happy days...Happy memories 😀
RIP Gary Rossington. Haunting to know all the guys on the front of that stage, hair flowing in the wind, in their prime are now all freebirds. Thanks for all the great music.
@@strandalx what he’s saying is everyone at the front of the stage all 3 guitar players, the bass player, and singer are all gone now… not hard to understand if you take more than 3 seconds to read what he said. The only memeber still alive in this lineup is the drummer.
@@troylovette6911 yeah, that comment actually made me cry, and i don't cry. i saw this stadium show in 76 at RFK. was fucking spiritual. dreary day, they came out for an encore and the sky opened up and the sun shown threw was magical....spiritual...
Yes it was!! I was there I was 16 in 1977 It was a Hot Day Tons of Ladies and everyone was having a good time !! I still have My Ticket Stub and I even got a Guitar Picks from Steve,Allan and GAry I still have them also ...
My husband just died of cancer. He was 63. I'm 52. He played this for me a month before he died. This is my first time listening to it since he passed. The words mean so much more now...
Similar here Sheena. Husband died July 2018. He was 59 I was 54. This was one of his favorites but I couldn't use it in his funeral because it was too long. I cry every time I play it.
I couldn't believe it when I saw this. I was there with my best bud Mark. Up near the fence. Almost didn't go because I was asked to work that Saturday. Called in sick and went anyway. A few month later the plane crashed. A couple of years later Mark was killed by a drunk driver. It is absolutely true when you get older your real regrets are for what you didn't do. SOOOO glad I blew off work to see this. So glad this is available. Can't watch without tearing up because it brings back so many great memories. Good times!!!
Yes yes so true, Free Bird is soulfull yet so driven in youthfull splendor with symphomic rock Harmonies as this Majestic piece defies time Expresses love and creates inphinite Joy.
I'm from Georgia growing up in the South as A black man. This song and this group represents the South. I know my history. But it was still black and white people who built this country. May not agreed on a lot of things, but shit got done! Meanwhile, Lynard Skynard band was not politicians, they were a band that if you like "MUSIC," THEY PLAYED IT. THANK YOU SKYNARD BAND FOR ALL OF YOUR GOOD MUSIC. WHICH IS STILL IN MY SOUL!! SOUTHERN BORN AND SOUTHERN FED,I'LL BE SOUTHERN TIL IM DEAD!! A FAN!!! 👍✌️👊
I'm 81. So fucking proud and happy that I was part of this generation. Soon I'll be a freebird. "Things just couldn't be the same and this FREEBIRD you'll never tame."
I hear you!! I'm 63 almost 64 and I love listening to this song over and over. I saw them in the late '80's in Indy. They were fabulous even though my BF got mad at me for taking a hit when the guy in front of me offered to share. 😂 This song is a national treasure. Way before everyone got PC about flags etc. They were amazing. Let Freedom ring!!! ❤️🇺🇸💙
You lived during all the great decades you fucking legend. I so wish I was in my 80s and soon to be off this fucking cesspool of a planet. No culture class talent arts love congregation nothing anymore. I'm jealous of your generation.
FUCKING CHRIST! @8:44 WHEN THE MAD HATTER ENTERS THE SHOT, HIS FUCKING HANDS ARE MOVING. ANYONE THAT PLAYS BASS OR EVEN GUITAR CAN TELL YOU THE AMOUNT OF CRAMPING AND BLISTERING SOMETHING LIKE THAT WILL DO TO A MANS HAND. FUCK MAN, THIS GUYS HANDS MUSCLES AND LIGAMENTS MUST BE LIKE LEATHER. JESUS CHRIST!! LEON WILKESON 🙏
Yesterday I watched my Mom tell my Dad goodbye by for the last time. They loved music and going to concerts so I asked the medical staff if it was ok to turn on music. They approved so I started 70’s rock station on pandora. This was the first song to play and as soon my mom heard the song she looked up and said this was our song when we first started to date back in the 70’s. They removed life support at that time and my dad passed as the song ended. What a moment to experience. Freebird will be forever etched in my heart 🥺🤘🏽❤️
That is powerful Antonio, and although it took place during a very emotionally sad moment, that was beautiful. I've requested an informal laid-back gathering for my funeral, and with that request I have also asked for this live version of "Free Bird" to be played in closing. Btw, I'm also Antonio. Just know that your Father is in eternal peace with the love of our dear Lord. Many blessings to you, your Mother and the rest of your family.
They're all as free as a bird now... RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd. Fly high Gary (Edit: yes I know Artimus Pyle is still with us, but as for Original Skynyrd they've left us)
I strongly, agree. Fly free without the weight, whatever it may have been!! I love ❤️ and miss you Momma!! Regina Isabella!! We all love you and miss you ❤️ so much our queen 👸!!!
So tragic and sad that just over three months later, the plane went down and ended Skynyd. Makes you wonder what else they would have given us. Truly a magical band that still sells their original albums. RIP to all founding members.
@@janetprice85 yeah Janet, I cried too. I worked at Mercedes Benz and I'd listen to the radios while working on them. At first it seemed surreal and when he started saying their names it hit me. I read stories about that plane and Aerosmith turned down flying in it , so it was a stupid decision to take the chance that forever changed a lot of peoples lives. One thing is I get to play their music on my guitar. Peace always.
They're still touring. The spirit of Skynard lives on in the current band. They're as tight as ever. They still live for all the right reasons. They're some of the realest people that exist on the earth.
Rest in Peace, Gary Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Larry Junstrom, Bob Burns, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell, Ed King, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines. Gone but not forgotten.
Yeah, but Ronnie, Van Zandt, Steve, Gaines and Cassie Gaines should have remembered the first three that died in the accident. They should always come first when mentioning what happened to the greatest southern rock band ever.
I'm right here with ya girl!! I'm 71 and STILL listen to this song all the time, especially while driving in the summer with windows down and FreeBird on blast. Lol, the looks I get seeing a granny rocking out to this iconic forever song.
I'm black, and almost 50 and this despite the Confederate flag it's in my top five. Play this all the time. Maybe at my funeral. Good music is good music. RIP to some legends I'm just really learning about because I'm definitely a FREEBIRD! Reading aboit what happened to them breaks my heart.
@@johnland1528 sorry, I LOVE this band, but that flag was/is the flag of the Confederates, and it represented what they stood for. Time does not change that, no more than time can change the meaning of the swastika. And yes, I know that symbol's history as well History major and MA in Political Science. It is what it is.
I graduated from high school in 1977. This song was the anthem of my generation. Yes I'm a boomer, and an old man now - but this one still gives me goosebumps - still gets me up, singing and playing the air guitar. Jesus this was such a great time.
Lynyrd Skynyrd truly has one of the saddest stories in Rock history. This concert was held about 3 months before the plane crash (plane ran out of fuel and crash-landed in a forested area in Gillsburg) where two of the band members, Ronnie Van Zant (lead vocalist) and Steve Gaines (guitarist and backing vocalist ), were killed on impact alongside the pilot, co-pilot, Steve's older sister and the Assistant Road Manager. The rest of the band members suffered serious injuries but survived, The lead guitarist Allen Collins (who plays that incredibly legendary guitar solo on this track, accompanied by Gary Rossington playing the rhythm parts) survived the accident only to see his wife die, along with his unborn child, from complications in childbirth. A few years later he suffered a traffic accident that claimed the life of his girlfriend and left him paralysed, without the possibility of playing the guitar ever again on stage. He died in 1990, at the age of 37 from chronic pneumonia, a complication of the paralysis.
I love how this song does a slow burn for the first 6 minutes or so, slowly increasing in tempo until it hits a crescendo that just keeps going for another 5 minutes. Amazing. It's one of the best rock-n-roll songs ever recorded, and it's iconic for a good reason.
@@jeffk464I don't think the place matters much, but the setting. This genre of music is often listened to by those who have those flags, not surprising. Not all of course.
@My next shot won't miss What are you talking about? Neither Texas nor Tennessee (and I say this as a Tennesseean myself) really had a battle flag, or at least one that resembled the Confederate Jack. The Army of Tennessee, which was.. a Confederate army, used what we know as the Confederate battle flag, but this is mostly because a majority of the Confederate armies used the same flag, which was designed and used by the Confederates in 1861. It is literally the Confederate battle flag, no sugarcoating. It was designed first by William Porcher Miles, a Confederate politician, at the request of General Beauregard, to be used as the nationwide battle flag, "entirely different from any State or Federal flag". (verbatim) It wasn't used for a while on a Confederacy-wide level, but it was used as the battle flag by General Lee in the army of South Carolina until it was eventually accepted on the national level later in the Civil War, hence why the Army of Tennessee used it. I don't know where you got anything about a Texas battle flag because such a thing never existed. The closest thing would be the flags flown during the Texas Revolution but those are of course not even remotely close to the Confederate Jack, it's a solid 40 years or so before the Civil War even started. Apparently the 4th Texas Infantry Regiment used the Confederate Jack during the war (albeit on a white background, looks pretty nice aesthetically actually) but just like the Army of Tennessee, it did so because it was national standard. The flag isn't seen as a bad thing here because this is a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. Most attendees are probably southerners or people familiar with southern culture, who know that Confederate flags are a symbol of our heritage and culture more often than an actual endorsement of the Confederacy. It's quite strange now that I think about it because you don't exactly hang the flag of the Third Reich in Germany as a symbol of culture, but the south works in weird ways.
@@armydlguy Oakland Coliseum. Day on the green. They held concerts every weekend during the summer. I saw the Stones and just about every major rock band during the 70’s. 3 bands performed every concert. Great times!
Pretty sure it may very well, even though it could be a couple thousand years, so we just have to be grateful that we got to witness one of the best periods that time had to offer, praise the Lord! God Bless the country that allowed time to show us and let us hear the human spirit, freedom and liberty for all!
I noticed that, wish I could fucking hear him, I'm gonna have to play this on like a really good speaker one day, see if I can hear it because he was doing a lot more work than the guitarist for a little bit there
I met Leon many years ago at Jax Beach in Jacksonville flat. He was at a beach bar playing with a local band for fun and we had drinks together. He was the nicest guy and so down to earth. If you didn't know who he was you would never guess he was a member of one of the most famous rock bands in history. What a fantastic guy!!!!
@@danecummins2092totally agreed. My dad used to run with the drummer from Molly Hatchet, and he met a few of these guys as well. We actually live down the street from RVZ’s widow, and his daughter, and my brother is friends with RVZ’s granddaughter. They truly were/are Jacksonville’s pride and joy.
Part of the reason why the solo kills is because the drummer and the bassist are driving it along underneath. They are laying down this amazing foundation for the guitarists to build on. Absolute magicians and artists.
This was my dad's favorite band, and favorite song. Ever since I could remember, he wanted this to be played at his funeral. And I did. He passed on 11.10.2021. he is a free bird now. The lyrics feel like they were written for me and my dad. I love you, dad! Fly high
I have a list of songs my wife has been told to play at that time. I told her to get some big speakers, put one on each side of my head, crank it up and play them. If no part of me moves, then I'm gone. Freebird is at the top of the list.
Some songs are timeless. They connect multiple generations. They remind us of what living is supposed to be. These songs are a gift. It’s a beautiful song and if have even a little compassion in your heart, you’ll appreciate the message. For a band that battled so much darkness they sure did an amazing job of bringing so much beauty and light to the world. ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡
I’ve watched this video many times. For some reason I got emotional this morning watching it. I miss these days. The world was so much simpler. Today’s world is full of so much hate. People pitted against one another. I wish we could go back. It just made me tear up thinking about it. You can literally feel the happiness in the crowd.
@@mtns340 Concerts are way to expensive these days. I’m just not going to pay $150 a person to watch a band from the nose bleed section. When I started going in the early 80s they were only $11-12 a person. Besides the old bands are just a shell of their former selves and there hasn’t been any “new” band worth listening to since the 90s. I was really into music and going to concerts back in the day. Literally hundreds of shows and I still have my concert Tshirts to show for it but at my age now , I’d rather be at home at 11:00 at night and not driving two hours to get home.
The audience is very one toned, I’m sure they were happy. Not sure about people of other colors. Life is never simple. It’s a concert for a few hours , then you go back to fighting over the credit card balance, in laws and whatever.there was and will never be a simpler time in history.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja Let's hope that's still the case in 3069 and beyond and even more importantly that this will be playing in some club up in Heaven in the afterlife, with Skynyrd as the headliners --- let's hope that great music isn't the only thing that lives forever!
The last original member Gary Rossington died this year. Everyone from this performance (Except drummer Artimus Pyle because he's still here today) is a free bird now.
@@IaintTheHerb "Thanks Boomers"??? WTF is that supposed to mean? If it wasnt for "boomers" as you so insultingly refer to us, that music would never have come to be. Getting damn sick and tired of being insulted for my generation! People try to put us down, just because we got around... Talkin about my generation.. Why don't you all just fade away... we stopped a war, what has your entitled sorry-ass generation done or likely to do? Not much it would seem.
I was born and raised and still live in Jacksonville Florida, hometown of Lynard Skynard and my uncles and my aunt went to Robert E Lee High-school with alot of the band and would go listen to them practicing every chance they got and were honestly messed up emotionally for along time after the plane crash and even though they are all gone their music is more popular than it ever has been and they will live on through old recordings and videos like this one for many more years to come, fly high free bird's .... your all deeply loved and missed, may you rock out in heaven
@@llamapajama7840 the plane had insufficient fuel, so sad but true. This was taken from Wikipedia: The pilots attempted to navigate to McComb Airport, about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of the eventual crash site in Amite County, Mississippi, but soon realized that the plane would not make it. As a last resort, they attempted an emergency landing in an open field about 300 yards (270 m) from where the plane eventually went down.[7] Despite their efforts, at approximately 6:52 pm[1] the plane skimmed about 100 yards (91 m) along the top of the tree line before smashing into a large tree and splitting into pieces near Gillsburg, Mississippi.
Oh I LOVE this! I wanna go back to this time in my life so bad. Even though I'm old, I'm happy to be old knowing that I was able to live in this time period.
Let’s be honest young people right now will be saying the same thing in a few decades. People forget the bad things from the past and remember the good thing
I get very emotional thinking back on the million things that have passed by, never to return. I'm 63 as well and I can completely understand how my parents clung on to the music of their time. Yes, the 70s were such a time of optimism where everything seemed possible. I left home at 17 and traveled the country completely free and have been ever since. Poor, but free. This song is my anthem.
You sound just fine to me, I could understand you perfectly, love the music too. This was the year I graduated HS ‘77 in Oklahoma 🇺🇸. 🇯🇵Peace be with You🇯🇵 😉
Hey mate you don’t need to be proficient in any language to be absorbed by this music. It spoke of a time that was troubled by despite the troubles of the day there was some fantastic people and this group was a standout.
Earlier this year, I was in a village in the middle of nowhere in Sweden and a musician outside a cafe was playing this song, that's how powerful it is.
@@nowitsabadtime American music has been playing overseas for a while, my dad's cousin had VHS footage and cassettes of American bands during communist Yugoslavia.
I have a best friend who has a sister and brother in law living in New camera beach FL. 1970 these guys would play on Saturday nites on the beach!!!! Nobody knew who they were. And the he'll of it was..... It was all free. Just like all the drugs being handed around to the guy standing next to you.
Im 67 and Skynyrd was one of the bands of my youth! So many great bands and types of music back then. But Freebird is a timeless song that has transcened the generations!! It was a great time to be young and alive
I'm a 64 yr old semi-quadriplegic due to an accident at 27. However, when I was 20, able bodied, I was living in the Bay Area and went to many concerts, including this one; The 1977 day on the green #5 with the Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton. It was an amazing event. Every band had hit songs on the radio and when each band played them they were better than the studio releases., that's not always so. This concert was truly an exceptional musical experience because the groups were so talented.
I was there too. so glad you were able to experience the raw power and wonderful tunes of all those bands. The best concert I ever attended! Great cosmic memories.
I was 17 in 1977 and I have so many memories tied to this song. I was fortunate enough to see this band before their airplane crashed. I was 14. The only reason my parents let me go was because I was with a very nice boy, Rob Link, and his dad or step-dad drove us. I'll never forget the limousine with the band drove in front of us crossing a street, they had to stop at the light. I walked up, they rolled the window down and gave me their bottle of Mateus (wine, I think, I was too young to drink but kept that bottle). What a great memory. I love this song!
This is the first song I learned to play on guitar. I was 12 years old and I learned it by ear. It took me about 18 months. I found out years later that there was 3 guitar players lol! Anyway, I love these people and this entire band and this song is responsible for launching what turned into a 32 year songwriting and recording career. Unfortunately, people died young and it changes things but i am grateful to this band for the incredible music. Some of it is really difficult to play. These guys were all above and beyond top shelf talent and ability. When you play a bunch of a bands songs for over 3 decades you learn a lot about them and their music but what i really struggle with is the profound sadness I feel today. I really liked Gary and every one of them almost like family or something. I could not hold back the tears when I heard Gary passed away and I will never forget the music they wrote and shared with us. I never would have spent over 3 decades writing, recording and playing in a rock band had I not overheard the love in that Atlanta crowd when Ronnie asked that now iconic question: WHAT SONG IS IT YOU WANNA HEAR? The rest is history for me as they say. I know we could all probably go on forever here so I will try not to. I feel such a closeness to this band that just grew over the decades and I am profoundly sad to hear that Gary Passed away. Thank you for the music. Thank you for the slide guitar in Freebird. Thank you for making your guitar chirp like a bird. And thank you for playing the songs correctly ALL the time. The talent, ability and professionalism Gary consistently brought to the table rivals anyone and I will never forget him ever. Rest in peace Gary, I wish I could have told you how much you mattered to me and countless others. Well done my good man, I am forever grateful!
Thank you, Gary, for everything you brought to the unique and powerful sound of southern rock. May you rest in peace. Duane, Hughie, Billy, Allen, Steve have a place at the table set for you.
What an artist! I love hearing all of this. Rip Gary and thank you for the magic of your words. I'm a senior lady now and hearing his music takes me way back in time.
1977, I’m 15 listening to these fellas from Jacksonville Fl. rocking hardcore. Now I’m 63 and playing this song more today than I did back then. Pretty girls, killer music, long hair, bell bottoms and fast cars. What a time to be alive. To everyone from that era I may not know ya but I’m glad you were there.
I'm finally getting to send a comment. 62 yes old . I've very eclectic taste in music, love all types ,styles ....but hands down this song is the top , it gets me every time I hear it I'm actually emotional while listening and typing this . All these years after the tragedy it just gets better , you don't just listen to it , you feel it inside you .
This was our sons favorite songs, we lost him to leukemia at age 22 - grateful for the time we had with him. We know he is in Heaven Flying like a Freebird! We Love this song, many memories...😢
I’m so sorry for your colossal loss, may you seek solace in Jesus or seek comfort and peace knowing you were blessed with your son… gone too soon, 22👣🙏❤️
the concert was in 1977, today it's 2023, so it's been 46 years, most people there were in their mid 20's so they are at least 65 years of age nowadays. Mind blowing.
I'm 71. Flew to Little Rock to start work with a new company the same weekend of their crash. I was nervous on that plane out of Memphis that weekend. What a band it was and the best live album of all time. Thanks guys peace to you the band is together again, play it pretty Gary
Heard this song a million times, but something about this live version, seeing these guys perform it. All gone now. Just chills all over when they hit the chorus. Feels more human than anything else.
Freebird was first song I heard after my husband passed suddenly in 1975. He was 27. This song never fails to send me back to those emotional days. I'm 75 now and this song still tears me up in so many ways. Peace 🌞🙏🕊🕊🕊🇺🇸
1977 was a dark year for me with depression and I was only 18 - ok now - turned my life around. Now 64 but all those young people around my age then out in the sun enjoying this great concert makes me sad that I just missed out on enjoying my youth. Also sad about this band and that plane crash. Enjoy your youth young people because it flies by so fast.
Agreed... I'm 61. My entire life I had this belief I'd never grow old or be "that old person in the corner". I dont feel old, but apparently when I was 25... "60's was OLD!"
You’re not kidding it goes so damn fast We all knew we were getting old just didn’t expect it up happen so soon How much has the world changed since then. Crazy
This song has never made me emotional. But after hearing of the passing of Gary, the last surviving original member of the band, I can’t help but get teary eyed. Fly high free bird. 🕊️
Lynard skynard a awesome group, I remember when I was 11. In 1977, this concert was on my birthday.May Ronnie Vanzant RIP and Steve Gaines RIP and Cassie RIP and Gary Rossington,RIP and Allen Collins RIP 💐
Even more amazing this took place in California and flying a flag that makes modern liberals cry foul about racism and supremacy. The 1970's were truly something, a totally different world and time.
@@mr.sinjin-smyth "liberals"... nothing liberal about those creeps(except the degree of stupidity and ignorance they regularly exhibit) lol leftist lunatics is more like it
These guys are without a doubt some of the most talented and skilled professional musicians of the 70's they put all they had into their music and it showed. Just a fantastic band!
the best part about this is that the only reason they flew that shitty traitor rag is to rope in their white trash fans they wouldn't have otherwise had.
Had to sing this song at a friend’s funeral, just a few feet away from his mom as she cried. He was 21, this was his favorite song. His name was Thomas Poole. This song makes me cry every time I hear it now.
I think you should celebrate the time you shared with Thomas and his life. Don’t feel like he is gone because his soul is very much alive and he doesn’t want you to suffer over his passing. Feel love for him and he will very much respect you and love you too. All the best. ❤️
I have seen them 15 times and will never forget when they piayed at legion field in Birmingham al for the American cancer society. $1.99 was the cost of a ticket. My favorite band ever and it was played at my wifes funeral. We were married 33 years 3 months and 10 days
Yes me too . Saw them at Legion Field . It poured down raining . It turned into a huge mud hole . People left 1/2 way into the concert . After the concert Van Zant said , Free concert for Birmingham next time . It never happened tragedy 😞 Today when I hear a song from them I’m in an absolute time machine and suddenly I’m there . Oh the gratitude feeling I have being a young adult/ teenager brought up in the 70s . Dont you have that sense too ? The thing about back then is we never saw these days coming . We just didn’t know . Here’s why . I think we took for granted living in those days . We took for granted of the time period , and at the same time we appreciated and had gratitude for what little things we did have. I look back and I smile at the pains I’ve endured from then . I can do that now because I’ve matured and I’m older and I’ve earned it .. A.Goodwin ..
@@truescotsman4103 right on man . Back in the 70s when you looked some one in the eye and they knew you were serious. Man today people don’t look you in the eye . I ll even duck down where they looking and say “ look me in the when I’m talkin to you “ it’s damn shame one has to go to those efforts “. The 70s were the best decade ever and backed up with the 80s which were good . Music started changing in the early 80s and was good . It was good because it was unique . One hit wonders you never forget . It was fun music . Dance music . It made you tap your feet and before you knew it you were dancing . Block party music . The greatest music to get inebriated to ! 😂. Back when MTV didn’t suck ! When I hear songs or music from those 2 decades , it’s an absolute time machine and I’m suddenly there . Well to sum a portion of it up …..I look back on those two decades and I smile at the pains I’ve endured. You have to have some gratitude for being raised as a teen / young adult back in those two decades . Lord knows I do. But my generation did not see today coming . Oh man the violence and the crap these kids are doing today with school shootings and what stupid things they are doing to catch a buzz .Things are not good today , but there are some positives What it is ………… We , my generation just didn’t see it coming . I think two reasons of points of view is 1) we took the 70s for granted . We didn’t know we did because we didn’t have today to compare it to . And 2) we were grateful for the only little things we had . Meaning we appreciated them but it left not much room for opening the world wit new technology. I was happy with 8 track tapes 😂. But anyway just some input on things I know from observation only .🤜🏻✌🏻💪🏻
My hubby passed 5mo ago... He played bass in rock that LOVED & PLAYED this SO many times ... Played it for my Love at his Memorial to.... GOD IT HURTS ... I miss him SO BAD feels like I'll never be happy again😔
@northernstarz I'm so deeply sorry. I know that feeling all too well. After many years, I still hurt for my husband.. Free Bird song still helps me get through dark days. May peace come to you quickly.. Think of the good memories you had with him. It will ease some of the pain. 😔
We can have the privilege to hear music like this again and have that feeling of togetherness if we all stopped hating and started loving. Rock on and spread the love.
I was 16 at that concert. Great memories just like US Fest in 83. Been to many fantastic concerts. No one was trampled. Different times and different music.
If so fun to see all these grandmas and grandpa's, as teens and going adults, rocking out to one of the greatest bands of all time. when Ronnie sang the first line of "if I leave here tomorrow will you still remember me?" We've never forgotten you Ronnie. One of the greatest of all time.
I did I feel so very lucky it was the most awesome thing that I will ever see I can't do any of the jumping anymore like I used to it that concert but I still sing along take care.
Yes of course I was just 11 years old at the time I went with my two older sisters but it's something I will always remember and they sounded so wonderful I do seriously wish you were there though
I'm 95 years old and about to fly free. I Remember this like it was yesterday. Thank you for the memories.
God bless!
god bless america! 😁
You’re not 95
Be happy you heard it brother
We'll all meet in that journey soon enough. God speed to you and I'll see you there tomorrow.

My Dad was at this concert. He’s 66.. I wasn’t born until well into the 80s but one thing I’ll always carry with me is my Dads taste in music. Several Skynyrds songs never leave my playlist.

You were actually there?cool i bet it was amazing 🎸
@@Scorpiobwmy dad was exactly the same. a lot of nostalgia in songs like this for me as i’m sure it’s the same for you. i was born in 2000 but my dad was born in ‘64. i’m so glad he showed me real music that was made from a deep place inside. stuff like this is very hard to find today, damn near impossible. same goes for concerts. the last great one in my opinion was woodstock ‘99.

That's not how he died... it was a heartattack
@@strandalx what he’s saying is everyone at the front of the stage all 3 guitar players, the bass player, and singer are all gone now… not hard to understand if you take more than 3 seconds to read what he said. The only memeber still alive in this lineup is the drummer.
@@troylovette6911 yeah, that comment actually made me cry, and i don't cry. i saw this stadium show in 76 at RFK. was fucking spiritual. dreary day, they came out for an encore and the sky opened up and the sun shown threw was magical....spiritual...

Very nice thing to say and so very true!
I think they did
They knew, you don't see something like that without knowing
(trying my best RVZ "skyooooz me!".) I was in that crowd. We knew.
It seems so hard to believe that a world like this could even exist. What an amazing time in history.
Yes it was!! I was there I was 16 in 1977 It was a Hot Day Tons of Ladies and everyone was having a good time !! I still have My Ticket Stub and I even got a Guitar Picks from Steve,Allan and GAry I still have them also ...
I was there." Day on the Green"
I love this video. Y’all are lucky to have been there
Before Drumpf or after?
We have lost so much since then.
I wish they made music like this in 2024!
My husband just died of cancer. He was 63. I'm 52. He played this for me a month before he died. This is my first time listening to it since he passed. The words mean so much more now...
God bless you .... sorry for your loss Sheena
🙏🙏🙏
Oh Sheena.. I am very sorry.. Hoping this song gives you comfort in your loss.
Similar here Sheena. Husband died July 2018. He was 59 I was 54. This was one of his favorites but I couldn't use it in his funeral because it was too long. I cry every time I play it.
We hear you, little sister.🕊
That moment, when you realize your grandparents were cooler than you will ever be. 😂❤❤❤
Yeah!
Exactly 💯 and I am .Rock on dude's ✌
Die original Bandmitglieder sind alle Free Birds. RIP
Thanks 👍
The moment you realize the world we now live in is terribly f*cked
I couldn't believe it when I saw this. I was there with my best bud Mark. Up near the fence. Almost didn't go because I was asked to work that Saturday. Called in sick and went anyway. A few month later the plane crashed. A couple of years later Mark was killed by a drunk driver. It is absolutely true when you get older your real regrets are for what you didn't do. SOOOO glad I blew off work to see this. So glad this is available. Can't watch without tearing up because it brings back so many great memories. Good times!!!
Iucky, lucky you.!!!
RIP Mark.
This song reminds me of my daddy, he was a Vietnam Vet and listened to this music all the time. I am 52 and still listen to it!!!

Amen. It is sacrilegious. 😢
Especially in the middle of Freebird!!
I just had this exact thought and then looked down and happened to notice this comment. Solidarityyyy
A massive middle finger, to any advertising and promotion during this most quintessential extraction of all things beautiful and nice
I still say this is the ultimate southern rock song. Starts off as a soulful ballad, then shifts into a hard-driving rock anthem.
Yes yes so true, Free Bird is soulfull yet so driven in youthfull splendor with symphomic rock Harmonies as this Majestic piece defies time Expresses love and creates inphinite Joy.
I'm from Georgia growing up in the South as A black man. This song and this group represents the South. I know my history. But it was still black and white people who built this country. May not agreed on a lot of things, but shit got done! Meanwhile, Lynard Skynard band was not politicians, they were a band that if you like "MUSIC," THEY PLAYED IT. THANK YOU SKYNARD BAND FOR ALL OF YOUR GOOD MUSIC. WHICH IS STILL IN MY SOUL!! SOUTHERN BORN AND SOUTHERN FED,I'LL BE SOUTHERN TIL IM DEAD!! A FAN!!!

I hear you!! I'm 63 almost 64 and I love listening to this song over and over. I saw them in the late '80's in Indy. They were fabulous even though my BF got mad at me for taking a hit when the guy in front of me offered to share. 😂 This song is a national treasure. Way before everyone got PC about flags etc. They were amazing. Let Freedom ring!!!
❤️🇺🇸💙
Wish I was born in this era I’m only 35 but grew up listening to their music and similar genres.

Yesterday I watched my Mom tell my Dad goodbye by for the last time. They loved music and going to concerts so I asked the medical staff if it was ok to turn on music. They approved so I started 70’s rock station on pandora. This was the first song to play and as soon my mom heard the song she looked up and said this was our song when we first started to date back in the 70’s. They removed life support at that time and my dad passed as the song ended. What a moment to experience. Freebird will be forever etched in my heart 🥺🤘🏽❤️
Bro reading your comment gave me goosebumps. So sad but what a legendary way to go out! 😭❤️🤟
That is powerful Antonio, and although it took place during a very emotionally sad moment, that was beautiful.
I've requested an informal laid-back gathering for my funeral, and with that request I have also asked for this live version of "Free Bird" to be played in closing. Btw, I'm also Antonio. Just know that your Father is in eternal peace with the love of our dear Lord. Many blessings to you, your Mother and the rest of your family.
Free bird.
Peace be with you and your mom
I’m sorry for your loss, your dad sounds great
They're all as free as a bird now... RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd. Fly high Gary (Edit: yes I know Artimus Pyle is still with us, but as for Original Skynyrd they've left us)

So tragic and sad that just over three months later, the plane went down and ended Skynyd. Makes you wonder what else they would have given us. Truly a magical band that still sells their original albums. RIP to all founding members.
I remember that. Our local Channel 4 reporter went out to the crash site and cried as he reported it. They were local boys.
@@janetprice85 yeah Janet, I cried too. I worked at Mercedes Benz and I'd listen to the radios while working on them. At first it seemed surreal and when he started saying their names it hit me. I read stories about that plane and Aerosmith turned down flying in it , so it was a stupid decision to take the chance that forever changed a lot of peoples lives. One thing is I get to play their music on my guitar. Peace always.
They're still touring. The spirit of Skynard lives on in the current band. They're as tight as ever. They still live for all the right reasons. They're some of the realest people that exist on the earth.
There's a documentary with 3 of the remaining band members. It's awesome, it's hysterical, it's emotional. Find it!
Probably a psyop death fakers turn into other people the people on the stage are gender inverted
We played this at my husband's funeral and now he is as free as a bird.

Hard to believe they're all gone😢😢😢
Excellent song
Yeah, but Ronnie, Van Zandt, Steve, Gaines and Cassie Gaines should have remembered the first three that died in the accident. They should always come first when mentioning what happened to the greatest southern rock band ever.
They will never be forgotten and that comes from someone who was at this show in Oakland, California and I’m from the Bay Area town called gilroy.
I remember the show in Philly @ JFK stadium, now gone
Max respect for those who were there standing in front of this masterpiece , fly free!
Anyone else get chills when the audience erupted when the guitar solo started?

Yup the whole Song
We sure need a summer concert like this. All the beautiful young people.

45 years later and still a classic who else is listening to this in 2022 they don't make groups like this anymore
I Jam with Skynyrd EVERY single day; Drives my woman nuts!!!
I'm right here with ya girl!! I'm 71 and STILL listen to this song all the time, especially while driving in the summer with windows down and FreeBird on blast. Lol, the looks I get seeing a granny rocking out to this iconic forever song.

The rebel flag is a symbol of southern pride nothing else but you can't change some people mind
@@johnland1528 sorry, I LOVE this band, but that flag was/is the flag of the Confederates, and it represented what they stood for.

@@johnland1528 what ev. i'm white and you aint changin mine
Rock on brother! 👊🏻
I graduated from high school in 1977. This song was the anthem of my generation. Yes I'm a boomer, and an old man now - but this one still gives me goosebumps - still gets me up, singing and playing the air guitar. Jesus this was such a great time.
I was 12.
I truely am sick and tired of the 2020's.
I miss the 70's and the 90's
People today have crap music, have no clue how awesome true freedom is. This is but one of the great things about the 70’s, great music!
I’m a teenager right now but I love this song so much and I do the air drums to it
I don’t think a lot of people in my school like this music but I think it rocks
This is not a song but an a call to freedom. Freedom lives forever. You gotta live before you die.
I was there that day!!
Lucky you, Gerri! WOW!
i got lucky allman brothers played at a local bar
Very cool Gerri! :D
how.young.were.you.then?

Ronnie Van Zant was absolutely amazing for this song. I am still devastated by the plane crash.
We all are..
its still never really set in.....what a loss!!!.... RIP... all of them
RIP
yeah to bad the lead guitarist got into drugs too
😢
I love this song it will be a song for my funeral
Lynyrd Skynyrd truly has one of the saddest stories in Rock history. This concert was held about 3 months before the plane crash (plane ran out of fuel and crash-landed in a forested area in Gillsburg) where two of the band members, Ronnie Van Zant (lead vocalist) and Steve Gaines (guitarist and backing vocalist ), were killed on impact alongside the pilot, co-pilot, Steve's older sister and the Assistant Road Manager. The rest of the band members suffered serious injuries but survived, The lead guitarist Allen Collins (who plays that incredibly legendary guitar solo on this track, accompanied by Gary Rossington playing the rhythm parts) survived the accident only to see his wife die, along with his unborn child, from complications in childbirth. A few years later he suffered a traffic accident that claimed the life of his girlfriend and left him paralysed, without the possibility of playing the guitar ever again on stage. He died in 1990, at the age of 37 from chronic pneumonia, a complication of the paralysis.
that's really sad
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
That is so horribly sad, RIP to all of them & God bless!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this tragedy. I knew it had happened but just didn’t know the details
I love how this song does a slow burn for the first 6 minutes or so, slowly increasing in tempo until it hits a crescendo that just keeps going for another 5 minutes. Amazing. It's one of the best rock-n-roll songs ever recorded, and it's iconic for a good reason.
There will never be another band like them😢
Confederate flags in Oakland, interesting choice.
@@jeffk464I don't think the place matters much, but the setting. This genre of music is often listened to by those who have those flags, not surprising. Not all of course.
@MyNextShotWontMiss Right, because the true Confederate flag is a white flag, lol.
@My next shot won't miss What are you talking about? Neither Texas nor Tennessee (and I say this as a Tennesseean myself) really had a battle flag, or at least one that resembled the Confederate Jack. The Army of Tennessee, which was.. a Confederate army, used what we know as the Confederate battle flag, but this is mostly because a majority of the Confederate armies used the same flag, which was designed and used by the Confederates in 1861. It is literally the Confederate battle flag, no sugarcoating. It was designed first by William Porcher Miles, a Confederate politician, at the request of General Beauregard, to be used as the nationwide battle flag, "entirely different from any State or Federal flag". (verbatim)
It wasn't used for a while on a Confederacy-wide level, but it was used as the battle flag by General Lee in the army of South Carolina until it was eventually accepted on the national level later in the Civil War, hence why the Army of Tennessee used it. I don't know where you got anything about a Texas battle flag because such a thing never existed. The closest thing would be the flags flown during the Texas Revolution but those are of course not even remotely close to the Confederate Jack, it's a solid 40 years or so before the Civil War even started. Apparently the 4th Texas Infantry Regiment used the Confederate Jack during the war (albeit on a white background, looks pretty nice aesthetically actually) but just like the Army of Tennessee, it did so because it was national standard.
The flag isn't seen as a bad thing here because this is a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. Most attendees are probably southerners or people familiar with southern culture, who know that Confederate flags are a symbol of our heritage and culture more often than an actual endorsement of the Confederacy. It's quite strange now that I think about it because you don't exactly hang the flag of the Third Reich in Germany as a symbol of culture, but the south works in weird ways.
I was at this concert. I was 18 at the time. This song was sang perfectly

Does anyone ever talk about how hard the bassist goes during the guitar solo? It's unbelievable.
insanity
I noticed that, wish I could fucking hear him, I'm gonna have to play this on like a really good speaker one day, see if I can hear it because he was doing a lot more work than the guitarist for a little bit there
I met Leon many years ago at Jax Beach in Jacksonville flat. He was at a beach bar playing with a local band for fun and we had drinks together. He was the nicest guy and so down to earth. If you didn't know who he was you would never guess he was a member of one of the most famous rock bands in history. What a fantastic guy!!!!
@@danecummins2092totally agreed. My dad used to run with the drummer from Molly Hatchet, and he met a few of these guys as well. We actually live down the street from RVZ’s widow, and his daughter, and my brother is friends with RVZ’s granddaughter. They truly were/are Jacksonville’s pride and joy.
Part of the reason why the solo kills is because the drummer and the bassist are driving it along underneath. They are laying down this amazing foundation for the guitarists to build on. Absolute magicians and artists.
This was my dad's favorite band, and favorite song. Ever since I could remember, he wanted this to be played at his funeral. And I did. He passed on 11.10.2021. he is a free bird now. The lyrics feel like they were written for me and my dad. I love you, dad! Fly high
Meu desejo em meu funeral tocarem essa música. Mas acho difícil pois a quem pedi voou antes de mim. Vooe tranquilo meu filho João Victor
My Daughters have been instructed to play this when I am on the way down to the crem.

I have a list of songs my wife has been told to play at that time. I told her to get some big speakers, put one on each side of my head, crank it up and play them. If no part of me moves, then I'm gone. Freebird is at the top of the list.
Rest in piece. Amen.
Some songs are timeless. They connect multiple generations. They remind us of what living is supposed to be. These songs are a gift. It’s a beautiful song and if have even a little compassion in your heart, you’ll appreciate the message. For a band that battled so much darkness they sure did an amazing job of bringing so much beauty and light to the world. ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡

People pitted against one another. I wish we could go back. It just made me tear up thinking about it. You can literally feel the happiness in the crowd.
70's was a great era for sure.
It was the best time for me. I miss those days too
@@mtns340 Concerts are way to expensive these days. I’m just not going to pay $150 a person to watch a band from the nose bleed section. When I started going in the early 80s they were only $11-12 a person. Besides the old bands are just a shell of their former selves and there hasn’t been any “new” band worth listening to since the 90s. I was really into music and going to concerts back in the day. Literally hundreds of shows and I still have my concert Tshirts to show for it but at my age now , I’d rather be at home at 11:00 at night and not driving two hours to get home.
Look at crowd. Multiculturalism has destroyed the west
The audience is very one toned, I’m sure they were happy. Not sure about people of other colors. Life is never simple. It’s a concert for a few hours , then you go back to fighting over the credit card balance, in laws and whatever.there was and will never be a simpler time in history.
Almost half a century later and this still jams. Great music never dies
Great music is timeless. In 2069 people will still be jamming to this.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja Let's hope that's still the case in 3069 and beyond and even more importantly that this will be playing in some club up in Heaven in the afterlife, with Skynyrd as the headliners --- let's hope that great music isn't the only thing that lives forever!
I would say it’s the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Yes some are technically better. But this just hits all the right spots
It really never does, all good music must go on because it moves you

Arguably the best guitar solo ever, playing on for all eternity, what a magnificent wall of sound they created.
where was guitar #3, should have been Steve Gaines in 77, no?
Sadly, the cameraman was too thirsty, he showed the girls instead of Allen Collins nailing the solo
This was the best solo of all time.

Indeed.....😍🥰😢😢
@@llamapajama7840 the plane had insufficient fuel, so sad but true. This was taken from Wikipedia:
The pilots attempted to navigate to McComb Airport, about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of the eventual crash site in Amite County, Mississippi, but soon realized that the plane would not make it. As a last resort, they attempted an emergency landing in an open field about 300 yards (270 m) from where the plane eventually went down.[7] Despite their efforts, at approximately 6:52 pm[1] the plane skimmed about 100 yards (91 m) along the top of the tree line before smashing into a large tree and splitting into pieces near Gillsburg, Mississippi.
I never saw skynard but was lucky to catch Stevie ray Vaughan a month before his crash
A quote that I saw on another video applies here. “It is worth it to be old now to have been young then”.
Oh I LOVE this! I wanna go back to this time in my life so bad. Even though I'm old, I'm happy to be old knowing that I was able to live in this time period.
Let’s be honest young people right now will be saying the same thing in a few decades. People forget the bad things from the past and remember the good thing
So true all the great memories. Beatles on Ed Sullivan, who remembers????????????????
I get very emotional thinking back on the million things that have passed by, never to return. I'm 63 as well and I can completely understand how my parents clung on to the music of their time. Yes, the 70s were such a time of optimism where everything seemed possible. I left home at 17 and traveled the country completely free and have been ever since. Poor, but free. This song is my anthem.
I agree, we have our memories and songs!
I am a Japanese high school student and I am listening now from Japan. It was very impressive and influenced my music life. Sorry for my bad English.
You sound just fine to me, I could understand you perfectly, love the music too. This was the year I graduated HS ‘77 in Oklahoma 🇺🇸.
🇯🇵Peace be with You🇯🇵 😉
Hey mate you don’t need to be proficient in any language to be absorbed by this music. It spoke of a time that was troubled by despite the troubles of the day there was some fantastic people and this group was a standout.
Your English is perfect. I was 16 in 1977 and love rock music. Peace to you and Japan from the UK.
Cancel the call. Old Crow wishes fervently.
You speak better English than I does!
I am 68 and I remember this song and all others from lynard skinner. Southern boys are always Free Birds! The South will rise again.
Earlier this year, I was in a village in the middle of nowhere in Sweden and a musician outside a cafe was playing this song, that's how powerful it is.
Awesome
Powerful yesss
Very cool indeed
Wow, that's impressive. I'm always amazed when I find American music being played overseas. So neat
@@nowitsabadtime American music has been playing overseas for a while, my dad's cousin had VHS footage and cassettes of American bands during communist Yugoslavia.
RIP Gary. One of the iconic guitar riffs. Everyone knows it when they hear it. Be free!
🕊
Gary was the one who did that?
I have a best friend who has a sister and brother in law living in New camera beach FL. 1970 these guys would play on Saturday nites on the beach!!!! Nobody knew who they were. And the he'll of it was..... It was all free. Just like all the drugs being handed around to the guy standing next to you.
@@enayy619 No. It was Allen Collins.
That was Allen Collins on that lead riff jam.
I was at this concert, with 50,000 of my best friends! I'm 65 now. Great memories...
Wow,I would have been 17 then…I only wish!!!
I'm 65 and I was right there ! What an awesome show
I'll be 63 in a few weeks. Woulda just turned 16 here. The absolute best time of our lives had just dawned. Need kleenex... 😢
I was right up in the front turn the 65 Monday summer 77 was the best summer of them all
And 45,000 cases of sunburn!
Im 67 and Skynyrd was one of the bands of my youth! So many great bands and types of music back then. But Freebird is a timeless song that has transcened the generations!! It was a great time to be young and alive
I'm a 64 yr old semi-quadriplegic due to an accident at 27. However, when I was 20, able bodied, I was living in the Bay Area and went to many concerts, including this one; The 1977 day on the green #5 with the Outlaws, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton. It was an amazing event. Every band had hit songs on the radio and when each band played them they were better than the studio releases., that's not always so. This concert was truly an exceptional musical experience because the groups were so talented.
I was there too. so glad you were able to experience the raw power and wonderful tunes of all those bands. The best concert I ever attended! Great cosmic memories.
God Bless you!! I'm so glad you got to see them, and the others!! That must've been a great experience!!
@@PolarisYeti It was amazing but the crowds, about 60,000, were um, crowded. LOL
God Bless Brother
@@jamesdantonio7235 The same back atcha!
what a time to be alive
I wish I was in the audience
i wish i wasn't born in 2006
I agree! Especially right now that many people don’t wanna go out and do things like this anymore
This has got to be one of the greatest moments in rock and roll history.
Agreed
One of the best rock songs ever .. wish I had been at the concert that day listening to it .. a magical experience for those who were there
And one of the best guitar solos of all time
Agreed. I’ve watched this so many times.
What a song, what a performance... I am 25yo and cant't stop listening it!
I was 17 in 1977 and I have so many memories tied to this song. I was fortunate enough to see this band before their airplane crashed. I was 14. The only reason my parents let me go was because I was with a very nice boy, Rob Link, and his dad or step-dad drove us. I'll never forget the limousine with the band drove in front of us crossing a street, they had to stop at the light. I walked up, they rolled the window down and gave me their bottle of Mateus (wine, I think, I was too young to drink but kept that bottle). What a great memory.
I love this song!
I love this song so entertaining and emotional sweet memories back in the 70s. How are you Victoria ?
a wonderful memory, but very painful, I want to live that day🥲🥲🥲
Mateus wine. We all have fond memories of that bottle.
This is the first song I learned to play on guitar. I was 12 years old and I learned it by ear. It took me about 18 months. I found out years later that there was 3 guitar players lol! Anyway, I love these people and this entire band and this song is responsible for launching what turned into a 32 year songwriting and recording career. Unfortunately, people died young and it changes things but i am grateful to this band for the incredible music. Some of it is really difficult to play. These guys were all above and beyond top shelf talent and ability. When you play a bunch of a bands songs for over 3 decades you learn a lot about them and their music but what i really struggle with is the profound sadness I feel today. I really liked Gary and every one of them almost like family or something. I could not hold back the tears when I heard Gary passed away and I will never forget the music they wrote and shared with us. I never would have spent over 3 decades writing, recording and playing in a rock band had I not overheard the love in that Atlanta crowd when Ronnie asked that now iconic question: WHAT SONG IS IT YOU WANNA HEAR? The rest is history for me as they say. I know we could all probably go on forever here so I will try not to. I feel such a closeness to this band that just grew over the decades and I am profoundly sad to hear that Gary Passed away. Thank you for the music. Thank you for the slide guitar in Freebird. Thank you for making your guitar chirp like a bird. And thank you for playing the songs correctly ALL the time. The talent, ability and professionalism Gary consistently brought to the table rivals anyone and I will never forget him ever. Rest in peace Gary, I wish I could have told you how much you mattered to me and countless others. Well done my good man, I am forever grateful!
I was 17 as well, Victoria. High school class of ‘78. It was a great time to be that age. God Bless.
Rest easy Gary! Thank you for all the awesome music you gave us.
Thank you, Gary, for everything you brought to the unique and powerful sound of southern rock. May you rest in peace. Duane, Hughie, Billy, Allen, Steve have a place at the table set for you.
What an artist! I love hearing all of this. Rip Gary and thank you for the magic of your words. I'm a senior lady now and hearing his music takes me way back in time.
It's all about Gary now huh... Do you people not remember any other other members
@@kingxiii4680 nope
@@peterwalsh3409and Ronnie van Zant, Ed King
1977, I’m 15 listening to these fellas from Jacksonville Fl. rocking hardcore. Now I’m 63 and playing this song more today than I did back then. Pretty girls, killer music, long hair, bell bottoms and fast cars. What a time to be alive. To everyone from that era I may not know ya but I’m glad you were there.
You’re right man
I'm 63 now myself and I never get tired of Freebird. The ultimate anthem of Southern rock & roll. Glad I was alive then!
I'm finally getting to send a comment. 62 yes old . I've very eclectic taste in music, love all types ,styles ....but hands down this song is the top , it gets me every time I hear it I'm actually emotional while listening and typing this . All these years after the tragedy it just gets better , you don't just listen to it , you feel it inside you .
Thanks sweetie that is awesome and you also carol g 💓 11:24 11:25
Killer weed
The piano parts are some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.
This was our sons favorite songs, we lost him to leukemia at age 22 - grateful for the time we had with him. We know he is in Heaven Flying like a Freebird! We Love this song, many memories...😢
So sorry for your loss
Heartbreaking. May the music always lift you up.
I’m so sorry for your colossal loss, may you seek solace in Jesus or seek comfort and peace knowing you were blessed with your son… gone too soon, 22👣🙏❤️
I’m so sorry 😢
Heart goes out to you 💔
the concert was in 1977, today it's 2023, so it's been 46 years, most people there were in their mid 20's so they are at least 65 years of age nowadays. Mind blowing.
Indeed. Time flies!
I'm 71. Flew to Little Rock to start work with a new company the same weekend of their crash. I was nervous on that plane out of Memphis that weekend. What a band it was and the best live album of all time. Thanks guys peace to you the band is together again, play it pretty Gary
I was 23 in 77, now 67. I saw them at Alpine Valley Wi, in the early 80's. They were great!
I was 5 in '77! So That makes Gary only 25 at this time. What a talent !!
Yes I was one of those 19 year old kids at that concert.. still have my ticket stub in 2023 at the ripe age of 65 years old .
Heard this song a million times, but something about this live version, seeing these guys perform it. All gone now. Just chills all over when they hit the chorus. Feels more human than anything else.
Freebird was first song I heard after my husband passed suddenly in 1975. He was 27. This song never fails to send me back to those emotional days.
I'm 75 now and this song still tears me up in so many ways. Peace 🌞🙏🕊🕊🕊🇺🇸
@@KateBates22zabuCarry On, Sister! 😊😊😊
yep, I'm back again just to keep watching this version!
Brother I hope I make that long. 😮
I come back over and over. It sounds silly but I feel real joy and love and being in touch with mankind. It is a treasure.
One of the greatest bands to ever do it. One of the best solos of all time
The 70's best decade in music ever!
70s might be the best decade for the sound of rock and funk but the 80s were a pretty good decade for music as well.
@@italiangypsy79 we peaked as a people in the 90s, I think it hit the sweet spot of the edgy 70s music with the goofball too synthetic 80s sounds.
@@PMurray2694 Agree they were dreadfull
That's my decade for my coming of age but 60's is right there as well can't choose too close.
@@aspectra no way society peaked in the 60’s and that’s a fact
1977 was a dark year for me with depression and I was only 18 - ok now - turned my life around. Now 64 but all those young people around my age then out in the sun enjoying this great concert makes me sad that I just missed out on enjoying my youth. Also sad about this band and that plane crash. Enjoy your youth young people because it flies by so fast.
Agreed... I'm 61. My entire life I had this belief I'd never grow old or be "that old person in the corner". I dont feel old, but apparently when I was 25... "60's was OLD!"
You’re not kidding it goes so damn fast We all knew we were getting old just didn’t expect it up happen so soon
How much has the world changed since then. Crazy
Your right ❤
None of y’all are too old to have a childhood. You just have to want it.
@@jeffrandolf5673funny I felt the same way now I’m old wondering what happened
This song has never made me emotional. But after hearing of the passing of Gary, the last surviving original member of the band, I can’t help but get teary eyed. Fly high free bird. 🕊️
I get emotional every time I hear it.
Reading this as a tear rolled down my cheek
Me too :(
They'll kick ass. Forever. 🙏 🕊🕊🕊🕊
Definitely Hitting a little different today.
Lynard skynard a awesome group, I remember when I was 11. In 1977, this concert was on my birthday.May Ronnie Vanzant RIP and Steve Gaines RIP and Cassie RIP and Gary Rossington,RIP and Allen Collins RIP 💐
The plane crash was 46 years ago today-October 20, 1977. Time flies by. Thank you for Freebird.
😔💔
I respect the puns.
Man my grandpa met Ronnie backstage when he was 32. Gosh he has such memories
Their music lives on forever baby!
I can't believe it was 3 months after this concert.
I am 60 years old and can say for certainty I have lived thru the greatest era of music.
I agree.
Yes you have 👌
Right there with ya buddy ✌️
Truth
This solo, in front of that audience,
to me pretty much encapsulates what was awesome about the 70's.
I agree, the music and the clothes of the girls beings me right back to that time
Even more amazing this took place in California and flying a flag that makes modern liberals cry foul about racism and supremacy. The 1970's were truly something, a totally different world and time.
Watching in 2022 and it still doesn't get any better than that .. 🎸🎶🎹
@@mr.sinjin-smyth "liberals"... nothing liberal about those creeps(except the degree of stupidity and ignorance they regularly exhibit) lol leftist lunatics is more like it

@@pale_saint true, still can be said come back to practice. The hours they spent on these songs is insane
These guys are without a doubt some of the most talented and skilled professional musicians of the 70's they put all they had into their music and it showed. Just a fantastic band!
@@phillipstephens1175 It’s love, we’ve lost the love of things. Hopefully we find it as a society again. Love what you do.
Southern rock and country music from the 70s is just timeless and will forever live on. Some on the best live music ever made.
You are so fuckin right !
You damn fucking right bout that
Allman Brothers
So true!!! Nothing since has come close.
the best part about this is that the only reason they flew that shitty traitor rag is to rope in their white trash fans they wouldn't have otherwise had.
i would give anything.... ANYTHING to get back in time and stand in that crowd smelling the true smell of freedom
So would I.
Had to sing this song at a friend’s funeral, just a few feet away from his mom as she cried. He was 21, this was his favorite song. His name was Thomas Poole. This song makes me cry every time I hear it now.
My e uh es are leaking just reading it
I would bet that singing this song at a friend's funeral was about the hardest thing you ever did...
I think you should celebrate the time you shared with Thomas and his life. Don’t feel like he is gone because his soul is very much alive and he doesn’t want you to suffer over his passing. Feel love for him and he will very much respect you and love you too. All the best. ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss.
God rest Thomas'soul . He and his family were blessed to have you . God bless you Caylee ....
I have seen them 15 times and will never forget when they piayed at legion field in Birmingham al for the American cancer society. $1.99 was the cost of a ticket. My favorite band ever and it was played at my wifes funeral. We were married 33 years 3 months and 10 days
Skynard is about people being real. Rock on man.
Long marriage…
Yes me too . Saw them at Legion Field . It poured down raining . It turned into a huge mud hole . People left 1/2 way into the concert . After the concert Van Zant said ,
Free concert for Birmingham next time . It never happened tragedy 😞
Today when I hear a song from them I’m in an absolute time machine and suddenly I’m there . Oh the gratitude feeling I have being a young adult/ teenager brought up in the 70s . Dont you have that sense too ? The thing about back then is we never saw these days coming . We just didn’t know . Here’s why . I think we took for granted living in those days . We took for granted of the time period , and at the same time we appreciated and had gratitude for what little things we did have.
I look back and I smile at the pains I’ve endured from then . I can do that now because I’ve matured and I’m older and I’ve earned it ..
A.Goodwin ..

@@truescotsman4103 right on man . Back in the 70s when you looked some one in the eye and they knew you were serious. Man today people don’t look you in the eye . I ll even duck down where they looking and say “ look me in the when I’m talkin to you “ it’s damn shame one has to go to those efforts “. The 70s were the best decade ever and backed up with the 80s which were good . Music started changing in the early 80s and was good . It was good because it was unique . One hit wonders you never forget . It was fun music . Dance music . It made you tap your feet and before you knew it you were dancing . Block party music . The greatest music to get inebriated to ! 😂. Back when MTV didn’t suck !
When I hear songs or music from those 2 decades , it’s an absolute time machine and I’m suddenly there .
Well to sum a portion of it up …..I look back on those two decades and I smile at the pains I’ve endured.
You have to have some gratitude for being raised as a teen / young adult back in those two decades . Lord knows I do. But my generation did not see today coming . Oh man the violence and the crap these kids are doing today with school shootings and what stupid things they are doing to catch a buzz .Things are not good today , but there are some positives
What it is …………
We , my generation just didn’t see it coming . I think two reasons of points of view is
1) we took the 70s for granted . We didn’t know we did because we didn’t have today to compare it to . And
2) we were grateful for the only little things we had . Meaning we appreciated them but it left not much room for opening the world wit new technology. I was happy with 8 track tapes 😂. But anyway just some input on things I know from observation only .🤜🏻✌🏻💪🏻
Look at that sunburn. Not a care in the world. When magic is literally happening in front of you.
These kids today dont have a clue to what freedom is.its being taken from em piece by precious piece.

Yeah great - we're paying for it now under the plastic surgeon's knife
Skin cancer is definitely magical.

I was 16 at that concert. Great memories just like US Fest in 83. Been to many fantastic concerts. No one was trampled. Different times and different music.
I was 18, so many great concerts there that summer. Good friends too, no violence, no fear, people respected each other
🥰 I was 11 yrs old the first time I saw Skynyrd in 1972 ...you can't BELIEVE where life has taken me since then....THANK YOU, DADDY 🙏💙

happy 60th year in life brother!
If so fun to see all these grandmas and grandpa's, as teens and going adults, rocking out to one of the greatest bands of all time. when Ronnie sang the first line of "if I leave here tomorrow will you still remember me?" We've never forgotten you Ronnie. One of the greatest of all time.
