It’s not country or rockabilly. It’s Southern Rock❤
Ditto
From my family to yours your damn right it is......SOUTHERN ROCK...!!!!!!😊😊😊😊❤ MY DADS FAVORITE BAND...REST IN PEACE POPPA..!!.. I ONLY WISH YOU COULD SEE ME NOW..
Now it is classic southern rock.
@@sandra.george93, It's just Southern Rock! I don't know of any modern Southern Rock, and if it exists, it will never be THIS!
Southern Fried Rock…
I grew up in that era, and I do believe most people considered this to be Southern Rock
Sure got that right...love my southern rockers ✌️🔥
This is probaby the first or second song you think of when you hear the words "Southern Rock"!
Definitely, I'm from 45 min from there hometown of Jacksonville, Florida! 100% Southern Rock through & through. Tom Petty is from my town here of Gainesville.
@@jennhurl oh yes love me some Tom Petty as well. There's so many artist I can appreciate. Music is a true beauty that we can all share in
@@theoddityshoppe most definitely ifeel Lynard Skynard is the definition and staple of what southern rock is
In 1975, I was a young Marine stationed in the Philippines. I met a young girl there, and our favorite club had a band that closed out each night with Free Bird. As you can imagine, that song struck a special chord with me, as I was beginning to feel very close to that little girl. Every night we were there we danced to that song. To make a long story short; I'm 68 years old now. We were married 45 years and raised two fine men. She died three years ago, and I can't listen to that song without tears running down my face. But you'll never see me turn it off.
That is such a sweet story!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful story of your wife.
Semper Fi! I am 1833, 1994-2004.
@@josefhyatt2780 Semper Fi brother
Sorry to hear that, brother. Semper Fi, Marine.
Lyrnyrd Skynyrd is Sothern Rock, I was introduced to it in 1970's when I lived in Jacksonville, FL. I actually met Ronnie VanZant (lead singer) when he worked in a auto parts store there. He invited me to the Enlisted men's club at NAS Jax, where I was stationed; as they were playing there on the weekends. I did go and was amazed by that band. They finally released their first album "Smokin" in 1973. I purchased that album produced in a studio but admit that the live performances were the best. All of them are dead now except the drummer. The guy playing slide guitar Gary Rossington died last year. Many were killed or injured in a plane crash. They are part of my history, them and the Allman Brothers band of which I think you would love also. Anyway I thoroughly enjoy your show and glad that the Rappers are now enjoying what we Baby Boomers grew up on. 😁
To us Southerners, the confederate/rebel flag represents Southern pride, nothing more, nothing less! Always America first! 🇺🇸
FACTS 💯
#truth
Doesn’t really tho. What it really represents is the 4th of the checks and balances which our right to draw guns and stomp Washington’s ass if they get into tyranny.
Thank you! I am sick of the hate for this flag!!!!!
Exactly
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a "Southern Rock" band, from Jacksonville, FL. They took their name after their high school gym teacher, Leonard Skinner. The band was in a plane crash three months after this performance. The singer, one of the guitarists, and (that guitarist's sister) a back-up singer died in the crash. They have a deep catalog, and are worth checking out further. Thanks.
Steve and Cassie were from my hometown.
Broke my heart!!!!
he talks too much

@@georgeclarke8137 who does?
Personally: The CSA battle standard is a remembrance of my Great Grandfather. He chose to fight for the Confederacy. Section 16 at Arlington National Cemetary holds 480+ Confederate dead, veterans and spouses. The flag is still used to cover remains that are found today from the CSA armies.
As a northener raised by a southern mama the Confederate Flag just represents southern pride, it has nothing to do with hate just love for the south and southern ways.
I was one of the lucky ones that was 17 in 1977. Man did we all come up on some good rock and roll. Those were the days
Dude, we had the best. My kids are so jealous.
I'm homesick for the 70's. Love, peace, and rock'n'roll. That whole crowd is stoned on good Ole Mexican weed. I miss it! 😢
😂😂 you’re right
Raised in Texas, smoked my first Mexican dirt weed joint in '69!💯 I'm 72 now and still smokin' but today's weed.....30% THC!🤯 Damn! It's legal here in Arizona so hell ya'!🤪😁❤️✌️
Me too! Loved being a teen in the 70’s feel lucky!
Heck yes
Nah an event like that requires some Jamaican or Hawaiian
ITS FRIGGIN LIVE no computers no auto tune.. Just pure RAW music... THANK YOU xxx
Damn...there is no preparing someone for hearing that epic guitar solo for the first time. Iconic af. ♥
It's not the Confederate flag, it's the Battle Flag of the Army of Tennessee. The actual Confederate flag, was very different. Tennessee's Battle Flag was, for many years, nothing more than a symbol of the spirit of southern people, including a significant number of black communities, to overcome adversity - the pride of a people.
When Nathan Bedford Forest, and his cronies, created the KKK, one of their first raids was of a community flying the flag. The flag was taken, and kept, as an insult, turning it into a symbol - for both sides. The KKK carried it as an insult. The rest of the south carried/displayed it for what it really was, a symbol of the pride and spirit of all southerners, regardless of race, creed, religion, sex, etc. That's still how the vast majority of those of us from the south view the flag. We're Americans, and we proudly fly Ol' Glory, high. A bit below, but with equal pride, we fly that old battle flag.
My mom was in th crowd and said it was love, peace, joy and love. No hatred or fighting and almost everyone had a dubbie in hand. An era of music history that will never come again.
The confederate flag to me and most everyone i know means southern pride, hospitality and consideration. Like saying please and thank you, opening doors for strangers, getting something off the top shelf for someone who can not reach, and saying ma'am and sir. Kindness to others is always the thing to do.
You asked so…The Rebel flag, for me, is Southern pride-proud, happy, blessed to be born and raised in the South. I don’t want anyone offended, oppressed or discriminated against! I love all people. AND I am an American first.
Well said, totally in agreement
I totally agree though I will go a bit further. For me it is all the Southern Traditions that has been valued by many people not just people in the South. Things like, family, helping your neighbors in times of need, respect for all regardless of race, placing women and children first, getting up every morning and pulling on those work boots and doing a blue collar job like miners, truck drivers, farmers, construction workers etc. Finally, staying true to your religious beliefs that has been instilled in Southern people for generations even if we are not always perfect in living up to that standard. Whether or not it was about race at one point for many Southerners now that is no longer what it is associated with but our personal Southern roots and having the fortitude to draw a line in the sand and stand up for what you believe in Southern born and Southern bred.
Amen!!! ❤
I came here to say the same thing... Southern Pride, only Southerns understand it... We don't hate, We don't care who you are... We care about whom you are; like MLK said, judge the person by their character and not by the color of their skin...
You literally support the flag of a group of traitorous states who broke off from and waged war against their own country in a futile effort to retain the legal ability to own other human beings as a property. "STatEs RiGhTs, yeah right. If you're of German ancestry, do you love the Nazi flag, too?
Those lyrics - If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me - breaks my heart knowing that was just a few months before the plane crash ❤️💔😓
Not a cell phone in sight. Just love and the music.
This is what America is all about in its heart.
Back in the 70's everyone was listening to the same songs at the same time..
Casey Kasem was America's DJ and when a song played the whole country was listening together.
You don't see this now, 1000's of ways to listen to music.
There will never be a time like the 70's again.
If you miss Casey Kasem then you'll love Adam Reeder at The Professor Of Rock YT channel....... Adam is like a perfect 2.0 of Casey. Same voice, kinda eerie but tons of music passion and great interviews along with the nostalgia.
You are so right. It was about the music and enjoy listening with people who appreciate good music. The rebel flag is about southern pride. I don't have a racist bone in my body.
You are right NO CELL PHONES AND EVERYONE IN THE MOMENT!
Sad to know that all the band members on this stage are no longer with us except for drummer Artimus Pyle. Legendary band. RIP to them all. ❤🕊❤🕊❤
My mom went to this concert. Says to this day it is her favorite live show she has ever seen. Still iconic
Were you born the next year in 78? cause this was a potent show known to have caused several pregnancies
@@RobWence Probably born as a set of quints...
@@5thPhoenix
That was just the mood of the 70s and 80s. Very positive and chill especially when music was playing.
You're mom is a lucky lady
I was at this concert too. Such a great time to be alive!
The vinyl original recording is long as well. It's Southern Rock. The long simultaneous twin and bass guitar solos were also on the original recording. You can hear echoes of the double guitar style riffs in another brilliant band from the South, the incomparable Allman Brothers, who also lost members in an accident. Skynnard pianist was classically trained. These boys were fiercely loyal to their music.
We were on the way to Lynard Skynard concert ..when it came over the radio..that their plane crashed. I was crushed, I loved Ronnie, barefoot singing his ass off. I still have that concert ticket.. loved them, the best.
This is Classic SOUTHERN ROCK!
I would call it southern hard Rock. Skynyrd had
Had some serious rockin tunes!
Man it's not racist at all, it's simply just Southerners showing their pride.Black lives Matters was painted on the street! You tell me the difference!
Skynyrd is the epitome of Southern Rock. Them, along with The Allman Brothers are the icons of that special sub genre of rock n roll.
Allman Brothers influenced them 💯❤️🎸🔥
@@edwardlong7720 absolutely they did. Ronnie also said multiple times that The Stones and The Who were major influences on him personally as well.
I would add ZZ Top to the list.
Let’s not forget Molly Hatchet, “Flirtin’ With Disaster”.
Don’t forget Marshall Tucker
One of the most iconic guitar solos. Rip.. gone to soon
Ronnie, Gary, and Alan all attended and met at Robert E. Lee High school in Jacksonville Florida they took their name from a high school teacher/coach Leonard Skinner who suspended them because of
their long hair.
The flag is simply a demonstration of regional southern pride. It was a well desired and designed flag but they were not overtly prejudiced. Listen to the Ballad of Curtis Loew.
Most of the boys are now buried in Jacksonville about 5 miles from where I survived 3 emergency open heart surgeries in 2012.
Redneckognize musical brilliance when you encounter it. Talent like theirs is worthy of respect, praise, and admiration.
The great thing about '70's music is, we had it all. Rock, southern rock, ballads, folk, country, early hip hop and a whole lot if crossover
Oh I’m from Illinois , and I don’t like the confederate flag at all ! My g grandpa was wounded at Shiloh and so was his son and on my other side too . I had a co federate uncle in Andersonville . And it posses me off that he died for that !
I love the south , my colonial relatives sure did found swaths of it both French and British. And Swedish ! But the confederacy is nothing that gives Edward fuzzy feelings .
I’m a Lincoln fan to my soul
Some fantastic Country Music as well
That and we were all listening to these songs together.
You turned on the radio and they played, everyone listened to the same songs at the same time.
You could drive down the street and see people singing the song on the radio you had playing.
It was a very uniting time imo. The music brought the country together.
We don't see this anymore.
@@realWorsin that's really true. Today, with everyone wearing ear buds playing their own playlist, we don't even know if we like the same music or not.
This is Rock and Roll, Southern Style. Free Bird is an anthem.
You're authenticity is the reason I love this channel so much!!
This band born and raised in southern Florida, USA 😊, southern rock ❤
Jacksonville
Billy Powell was a roadie for them, and one day he sat down and played what became the opening music to Freebird. The band heard it, and made him the full time keyboard player.
These young girls are now great grandmas!
"See grandma, you were smoking that mexican weed and kissing that stranger, why couldn't I ??"
😖 I guess someone had to say it.
American girls sure were pretty back then.
A Southern Band, proud of being from the South.
I was there , attended so many “ Day on the Green”. The best music ever! Everyone was just there for the music and everyone was kind. We were tripping over bodies and packed like sardines but no one cared, it was all love.
I am 74 now. In the 50's I was young; in the 60's I was fine: In the 70's i was in my prime. I spent my life going from show to show feasting on the next new music. how lucky was I?
The whole generation of Southern Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker and many more. They were the southern, northern, eastern, western didn't matter where you were from more of the home town life of the rural people of the USA that connected on a whole lifestyle level. Rock ON!
YES you nailed the best of the best in Southern Rock!
You mentioned 38 special the lead singer That's Ronnie van zant's brother Donnie Van Zant
About 8 of us were going to be at the concert, the plane crashed on the way to our concert. I still remember the disbelief and broken heartedness I felt, as did we all. RIP to those who were lost 🙏 💔
We were playing/practicing "Freebird" in our high school bands rehearsal garage when we got the news.....very surreal to say the least....remember it very well.
I remember this concert in the Oakland Coliseum and it was one of the biggest parties that I have ever been to!!! Man you are talking about the biggest crowd of people just partying and having a great time together with everyone getting along with each other and I didn't even see one person arguing with anyone and it was actually quite the opposite with so much love being shown for each other.
I’m 64, I was 16 and saw them in Washington DC. Hey! We’re Grandparents now.. we had some serious fun in the 70’s..,no cell phones! Not needed. We Remember!
That's how we rolled in the 70's on the Day on the Green. LOTS of bands, an entire day of music. Was there, loved this one. Great memories, lots of sunburns.
Lots of weed-smoke
Floating around the
Audience too!!!
Love your channel. 58 years old and love your reaction to the music I grew up with. You’re the kind of person I’d love to have a beer with.
As for the flag, it means nothing more than being a rebel to this crowd. I get the sensitivity and have come to understand it as I get older. But, we’ve made it more that what it was in this video.
Brother . I’m a 52 yr old white man from Alabama ( the country ) !! I first love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!!!! But I do completely enjoy watching your channel!! I listen to praise music most of the week , but enjoy absolutely all kinds of artist and music as long as they are telling a story without to much profanity!! It’s hard to listen to some of the best hip hop artist ever because of their ( and some heavy metal ) unnecessary profanity!! But I do love how you and I can agree on all the choices you decide to do reactions to !!! And I love your patriotism!!! I’m with you until you sign off brother!!!!
I'm from Alabama too!
Lovecyour comment!! Try giving some of his original content..things he writes and raps himself, a listen. He's pretty darn good. There's links or look up Black Pegasus.
Anyone else missing Billy Powell like crazy right about now? I mean the amount of talent on that stage is insane
Also the slide guitar riff by Gary Rossington, who sadly passed away March 5, 2023.
I miss them all.❤️🙏🏼
I miss them too 😢
I have seen them in concert many times. There is nothing like a outside concert with Skynyrd! Nothing like it !
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd live two years before Ronnie was killed. Such an awesome performance. The stadium was sold out but there were so many people outside we could hear them singing along. You left us, Ronnie, but we still remember you, freebird.
I feel so fortunate that I was in the generation that got to see the original bandmates of Lynyrd Skynyrd live in concert. P.S. ITS SOUTHERN ROCK
SOUTHERN ROCK!!!! Southern Rock!!! This is a 70’s band love and peace baby!!
This is my era, and this is the one song that no matter what you were doing, when this song came on, you stopped whatever you were doing, cranked it up as loud as you could and rocked out. And if you were driving, no matter where you were going, you just drove baby, even if it meant you overshot your destination, or you were late to where you were going, it didn't matter, you just kept driving until it ended! ❤
What is the meaning behind the song Free Bird?
Van Zant replied that in essence, that the song is "what it means to be free, in that a bird can fly wherever he wants to go." He further stated that "everyone wants to be free...that's what this country's all about." The song is dedicated to the memory of Duane Allman by the band in their live shows.
Southern Rock and as far as the genre goes, you're at the pinnacle right here my friend.
These guys.
This song.
You said it all when you said "America first".
I grew up with Lynyrd Skynyrd, THANK YOU for covering this.
I'm 70 years old and I've seen LS 4 times in concert in my life. And this song is always this long. We wouldn't want it any other way. Oh, the good old days.
It's so crazy that even when this was originally recorded, these brothers were still in their 20s. So young, yet so mature for their age compared to people in their 20s today.
Remember them five dollar ticket prices for at least two Great Bands love the Roanoke Civic center watching from Beautiful Bedford Virginia home of the National D day memorial because we lost so many patriots in this small Town come visit just don't act a Damned Fool
Lynryd Skynrd was the best rebellious SOUTHERN ROCK band in the world! When they were killed in 1977 I was 19 and cried for a week. We had the best music EVER!❤
Me too. Me too. 😢
That was such a sad day…
Okay... NOW you're in my wheelhouse!! *I was front and center* for this show!!! 😊
This is the famous footage of this concert that's used in several documentaries. You can get a copy of this concert from *Wolfgang's Vault* AND, best of all...
*I was there!!!*
(This is "Southern rock," as is CDB Charlie Daniels band, Rock-A-Billy is more elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Stray Cats, etc.).
It's one of the "Day on the green" concert series put on at the Oakland coliseum for years and this one was extra special as it was 4th of July weekend and there were *FOUR bands* that day...
The opener was *Santana* followed by *The Outlaws* (Green grass and high tides forever) then *Skynyrd* played an amazing set (as seen here! 😊) and finally, *Peter Frampton* played and it was his release of "Frampton comes live.". I was about 20 feet from the stage when they were playing!! 😊
The concert was an all day affair and it cost us the (then obsurd) price of *$8.50* for advanced tickets, there was *no way* I was paying the $12 gate fee... That's ridiculous! 😊
Lynyrdd Skynyrd is a play on the name of their highschool gym teacher,whom they hated and always gave them a bad time. Their revenge?? Him seeing and hearing them/his name thrown in his face everytime he turned around. 😊
This was right before the famous plane crash that took out several members of the band. I've seen them several times since over 50 years and it's never been anything but good but, it's really the "cover band" over the years as Ronnie was the driving, creative force. But, they've persisted and still draw a huge audience and usually toured with ZZ Top, a great pairing. 😊
Lynyrd Skynyrd was a southern band from Florida and it just showed a little southern pride; nothing more. That performance was in Oakland over a thousand miles away and the crowd loved them.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was Southern Rock. Not Rockabilly. Doobie Brothers were also Southern Rock. Molly Hatchett. ZZ Top. Allman Brothers. The Marshall Tucker Band. I am a child of the 70's! Best decade of music ever. Free Bird was my high school class graduation song back in 1979. Our class was huge for those days and fractured by "cliques" but we were never going to change. We were leaving, but would they ever remember us? I also danced to Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man with my son at his wedding in 2016. My words to my son. This band has been one of my faves for almost my entire life. .... You ask what the Rebel Flag means.. it is just that.. the "Rebel" Flag and represents southern nonconformity and southern heritage. Those of us who grew up with that flag do not connect it to slavery. Times are changing. Back then - US Flag, Texas Flag (sometimes before the US Flag) - all of the variations, Rebel Flag.
Well said. I wish someone had told us we were living in the best of times back then. I MISS it. Especially these days. Lord if I could go back, I would.
In the 80s we called it southern rock here!! When my step dad passed away...we played it when everyone left the gravesite! His Harley setting on the graveside! Bittersweet! Thank you! Hope you enjoyed!!
I told my son to play this at my funeral ❤
Watching the bass player is a total mind fck.✌️
The best thing about being born in the 70s is that we didn't really have just 1 genra that we belong to. We loved all kinds of music.
Played this while taking my brother off life support. Cant hear it without tears now. I listen anyway because its great music.
🙏
I'm so sorry.
Beautiful ❣️🤍🙏🤍
I was privileged to see the last concert they played before the plane crash😢 They were fantastic! I’m a 68 year old “white” woman. The Confederate flag does stand for southern heritage, as others have said. Also, in the 70’s,80’s black and white were fine with each other. My dad was in the Air Force, we moved every 2 years we played with Everyone. No Racism. Period. We lived literally with every race, even in Italy. My dad taught us to look at each person as a person, not color. This new generation has their feelings on their shoulders, and get their feelings hurt about everything! Grow up People, we are all the same.

I saw them just before graduating high school in May of 1976 at UCSB campus stadium. They were awesome. So glad I got to experience the original band lineup!
It was like that everywhere,i yearn for those days... peace,love
Yep oldies now from the 1970’s! This was my time, graduated 1977! ❤
My parents went to school with them back in the 60’s. My uncle played with them when they started. I’ve been a fan my whole life of Skynyrd!!!
Nothin could beat that 4 guitar army attack!! Legends! 👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
My most favorite band of all time. So many of their songs had meaning back in 70’s. All these songs by this group were written while these guys were in their early 20’s. Most stations didn’t want to play a song this long, the band said play it like it is. It’s a love song. They toured with the “Who”. They didn’t know the piano player could play, he was a roadie, who sat down at keyboard. The Rebel flag was just a flag that represented the South, nothing more. From Tennessee, go Vols, just won CWS. Skynrd played a 45 minute version of “Free Bird” in Memphis at outdoor concert.
"Call Me The Breeze " is the BEST Lynyrd Skynyrd song ever. You absolutely cannot sit still when it's on! 🥳💯💣💥👌
I do LOVE LS version but it's a JJ Cale song. As is Cocane and After Midnight, made millions for Clapton
You might know this, "Call Me The Breeze" was written by JJ CALE! 🔥🎸😍❤️
Georgia peaches will get your toes to tapping , too
The English, concert, they play my favorite Song, Searchen ❤
This is a fact
Btw, that solo was so iconic imho because when you have the guitars all jamming out full throttle and you feel like it is all out of control and then everyone syncs back up and then drives forward again right before it all falls apart. Amazing, to be that trusting in your partner in ANY situation. That too is Southern.
Different era... a symbol of Southern Rock and pride...
Lynryd Skynyrd was from Jacksonville FL, hence the rebel flag. The guitar solo at the end is know for being epic. I have a version of the song that is 17 minutes. The album version is 7 or 8 minutes. This is Southern Rock
lmfao, look at all those beautiful great grandmothers in the front of the crowd
We're not even mad about it!😂
exactly...a good thing to remember...if we live long enough, that "young" looks will fade, but the great music never dies!
Pretty girls as far as the eye can see
True
And they're all still as gorgeous today
I just found this great reaction I was at this concert and when this song came on it was so loud in the stadium stadium it was the best concert I ever went too thanks for a great memory
That is awesome that you were there. I was still a kid running around my hometown in MT. 😊 I missed all the great concerts like this.
That stadium front row had a high pretty girls concentration not gonna lie lol
I was there too!
The genre is Southern rock and Skynyrd’s hometown of Jacksonville, FL was the epicenter. Along with Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, and Blackfoot all came out of Duval
The 70 was the Best music ever!
Greatest musical solo in history! 50 years later, 1//2 the guitar stores out there STILL have signs saying "NO FREEBIRD" !
And NO Stairway!!!😂😂😂
Members of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a plane crash. Lead vocalist and founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, Captain Walter McCreary and First Officer William John Gray all died as a result of the crash12. The rest of those onboard suffered various injuries, the majority of them severe2.
Love Lynyrd Skynyrd. Grew up with these jams.
Future great grandma's...all natural, no tats!!!! Love it!!!!
One thing, if you had listened to the studio version first, you would have missed the piano solo as Billy Powell wasn't part of the band then. He later hired on as a roadie and one night while tearing down, he spotted a piano, sat down and started playing, saying he would add that to Free Bird. Turns out he was classically trained and was hired as full time pianist on the spot.
Funny thing is, Billy Powell looks so much older here, though he was only 25.
@@papasilver78holy cow, serious?
I miss the hell out of that man’s piano talent…
The studio version on their debut album, “Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd,” still has a keyboard opening though it is an organ, which gives it an almost religious feel (if I recall correctly, their producer Al Kooper played this organ part on this record only). By the time of their later live album recorded in Atlanta’s Fox Theater, Billy had joined on as their piano player. Also IIRC, an even earlier version of Free Bird on their “lost” Muscle Shoals album used piano, though not sure who played it.
Thank you BP for playing the anthem of my generation. Southern Rock at its absolute best. Play their song Simple Man or The Ballard of Curtis Lowe sometime. They were so good. The original band members are all gone now, but they are not forgotten.
Leonard Skinner was their gym teacher from high school. The flag is a symbol of Southern pride in general.
Ballad of Curtis Lowe is my favorite song ever..saw skyward 17 times and they never played it
Yeah, I don't plan to start any fights, but I'd play Simple Man or Tuesday's Gone. No denying the talent at all. Curtis Lowe was my jam and still my favorite song of theirs, just ahead of Gimme Three Steps.
@@boadiceameridionalis3732Tuesday’s Gone doesn’t get nearly enough love
Ronnie got his Neil Young shirt on❤
@@angeljones11 Yeah, so many of these songs in this genre (Freebird, Ramblin' Man, even Call Me the Breeze, and What's Your Name) are about dudes cheerfully swiving and leaving the women on their carefree junketing around. In fairness, they sing about a lot of their reality (drug use, life on the road, etc.) Tuesday's Gone is being on the other side of it, so unique for that. And, Simple Man is seeing Mama's wisdom -- to my mind, their best song.
Livin' in the 70's - Northern states - we only thought of confederate flag as the Rebel flag, and did not associate it with supremacists. It represented anyone who rebelled to the "norm" - being told what to do. Being independent. But that was the '70's up North.
Your appreciation of music is awesome! Love your channel and your insight on different genres really pulls you into the music and appreciate it more !!!
- 'SOUTHERN ROCK', baby! :)
- Extended jams are part of the genre, along w/ multiple lead guitarists "dueling/battling".
- "What song is it you wanna hear?... 'FREEBIRD'!"
- Your "gawking" in amazement/confusion was priceless. Great reaction :)
Solid Southern Rock.
Watching this on your channel.
Leonard Skynyrd is a southern rock band, and if you know your American history, the north and the south went to war at one time, the civil war .
I believe the confederate flag for them is representing the south .
AGREE, RESPECT OUR AM AMERICAN 🇺🇸 ♥️♥️♥️
Freebird is definitely my favorite song! It's considered Southern Rock!
For most southern people the Confederate flag just stands for southern heritage and pride….nothing to do with racism or hatred…and back in the 70’s we just all got along!
I agree, I am a black woman from Alabama and that flag never bothered me. Now, my black card will be revoked, but I don't remember anyone scared of that flag. We lived amongst each other and fot along.
@@rdyplyr2141 not at all. people are not educated and don't do their own research. black people also fought for the under this flag for the Confederacy. it represents southern heritage and nothing about hate
@@barrykeis4625 the designer of that flag, the VP of the Confederacy, said, explicitly, that it represented defense of slavery. Live in denial if you want, but that's the history. ;)
Uh yeah. Slavery, Sorry Sir. Good song but uh yeah, confederate flags, I’m out.
So True. Agree totally with you!!
I was there at this show and it was awesome....
Bro wtf!? That’s insane 🤯
That is what made the whole 70's and 80 's the best. They knew there audience and played it up.
Live concerts in the 70's were AMAZING...peace, love & music! Southern rock 4 ever!
Oh my gosh I love your reactions! I don't feel old until I see a grown man who hasn't heard of these rock bands. So fun to see you vibing to something that is new to you and old for us!
It amazes me when someone has never heard 'Freebird' either by Lynyrd Skynyrd or just even if it gets yelled out at a concert during a break, "Freebird!" With your lighter held up. But maybe I'm too old? RIP RVZ and all.
This is classic southern rock.
They recorded this song with the big guitar solo….it was a huge hit! Everyone cranked up the volume when it was played on the radio.
The dude goes off on a 8 minute rock solo to top all rock solos. Just lettin' his fingers do the talkin'. And the solo works at every stage with the chords pushing the background sound. insane!
Try not to break everything into "genres".
This is just killer music, and it's rock and roll !
Technically, it's known as "Southern Rock", and Skynyrd is the # 1 Southern rock band there ever was, and one of the greatest bands of all time.
This is the greatest live performance in all of history, and these 90,000 people were fortunate enough to be there.
Agree. It is like trying to PRINCE is a genre! hahaha
Couldn't agree more!!' So many mucic artists can go from one style to another.
They definitely are one of the best, but I would say Allman Brothers Band is the best southern rock band.
This is southern rock!
It are southern middle finger to the United States Government! Back in the days white black and even Latinos used to fly the flag in southern pride! I still fly battle flag to this day! We must as southerns to fly it high and proud no matter who or what color you are!
God I miss the 70’s!! Everything started falling apart in the 80’s. 😢 Thanks for reacting to this!!! 👏👏👏
You are right
Exactly Right, from this 55 yr old 👍
58 in 2 days,,and yes,I 💯agree with you~!!
RIP Ronnie VanZant and all the others in that tragic plane crash💔
I remember the day it happened like it was YESTERDAY.......
52 and I think the 80s is when music was the best. 70s had good music but the 80s smoked the 70s
We were living in the best of times and we didn't even know it.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was Southern Rock all the way the 70"s rocked the best.
It also was the beginning of dueling guitars. I was at that concert it was truly amazing.
Southern Rock!! Best of the best, from Jacksonville Florida!!
You need to listen and react to them singing Simple Man...such an amazing song
That's My favorite as a mama!
Most people these days can't even begin to imagine the TALENT it takes to compose what most would think is just a jam session, but it's not - it's really written and composed to be this way and each band member knows their part to perfection. This is before any kind of autotune or just about any kind of electronic post production. This is why older people (I'm 61) don't bother with pretty much any music from the last 30+ years - we grew up with this level of talent and nothing current even comes close.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is an American southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Their name comes from one of their school teachers who was named Leonard Skinner
