This was a joy to watch. Not just for the obvious pure joy of Kels reaction, but seeing Rich’s face giving us the viewer the knowing look because he knows that we know, and knowing that we know that he knows whats coming as this master of a track starts to build up. Great stuff, such an all time classic
I remember I first heard Free Bird in my friends basement when they were failing it on guitar hero but I liked the background instrumental so I went on the computer and listened to it with headphones and I remember being speechless when the never ending solo hit and made them listen and they agreed to give up lol
HUH???? WHAT???? It's 10 min of scales and bending the strings!!!!!! What is so awesome about it? I could never understand it!!!! It's a mundane riff with 2 semi talented guitarists doing minor scales, noodling, and string bends over it. Far far far far from the best solo ever. You just made many many many guitarists sick and a lot of others roll over in their graves.
A perfectly precious reaction! Go Kel!!! Her appreciation for the musicianship, being classically trained, is clearly evidenced, and a joy to behold. Thanks guys!!! 🤓👍
Love seeing people hear this for the first time. That solo is (arguably) the best solo ever written. They don't go off on a tangent and just wail away. They stay with the beat and fill it in. And just keep going and going and going. The live version (either one) is just amazing. Can't wait. PS: You have to watch NoLifeShaq react to this. He walks out of the room speechless. Hilarious.
Okay. She loves Free Bird. This means we have a chance to turn her onto other southern rock bands. I suggest the Fillmore live version of "Whipping Post" so she can hear Duane Allman play the hell out of a slide guitar.
Hi guys, came across your reaction to Freebird, now as a 76 old Brit who in his his teens in the sixties and in my twenties in the seventies, where I became a YES fan. I am very proud of the music this tiny island put out, but if I was to create a top out of everything that is out there, Freebird would be in it. A true masterpiece.
Freebird is the best classic rock song ever imo. I never got to see the original band, but I have seen them several times with Johnny singing. Great times never been disappointed. R.I.P. Ronnie, Cassie, Steve, Bob, Leon, Billy, and Allen.
Hard to believe after 46 years now...after a thousand times,this song still kills me.Love both of your reactions....Just think how lucky we all are this song was written.
This was our class song in 1983. Selinsgrove Area High School Class of 83. This was the year that Every Breath You Take was number 1 on the billboards yet we chose Freebird as our class song. It described us going out into the world after school to persue our dreams. Love this song forever!!!!
Rossington-Collins Band were most of the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd named for the two founding guitar players Gary Rossington and Allen Collins. They made two fantastic albums before Allen Collins was seriously injured in an auto accident. After that Skynyrd reunited and have been touring ever since. Two must listen two songs are “Opportunity” and “Don’t Misunderstand Me” from their debut album. I saw them in concert in ‘81 and they closed the show with Freebird as an instrumental. They would place Ronnie Van Zant’s hat on the microphone stand sitting in the middle of the stage. The crowd would sing the words and it was bone chilling, goosebump moment.
Timing is off. Allen's wife died in 1980 and he started to get really bad. Gary got married and moved to Montana to straighten himself out and start a family. Allen then started the Allen Collins Band, but his drug/alcohol abuse had gotten too bad at that point. His accident was in 1986 and he was paralyzed from the waist down, unable to play the guitar again. He died in 1990 from pneumonia.
I wish I could listen Freebird for the first time again ... I had been lucky enough to see them the HellFest (France) last month. They closed with Freebird, that was f* great! Thanks guys, keep posting videos 😊
Greetings from Costa Rica I am 50 years old and 40 years of listening to music and this freebird song that is the best thing I have ever heard in my life ... However, the concert version has the best guitar solo in the history of music .. I recommend the 1976 version in concert .. they are very much loved
One of the classic rock tracks of all time its quite suprising that you havent reacted to this already.but there are so many classic tunes that its still going to take a while for Kel to hear them all.she is a freebird! 🎧😊
I just love watching the first reactions to this song. When the slow, easy going vocals lull them away and they have no idea what's coming when the guitar solo hits.
I can't express fully the absolute joy Kel's heartfelt reactions to the music cause me to feel when I watch. NEVER fails to put a smile on my face! Thanks so much for your continued corruption of this lovely lady Rich!! I truly appreciate what you're doing here!! Keep at it it and I'll keep watching! Deal?
I've said it before.. the beauty and genius of this song is of course the solo.. and the fact that it weaves effortlessly into and out of the background rhythm in the background.. like a dance. One of the best songs in the genre for sure. Peace
It's official. Kel, you are by far the most sheltered person I've ever heard about. This is amazing. I'm so saddened how sheltered you've been kept from the world. That's astonishing really. It's a great blessing too though when you think about it, as now you get to appreciate this style of music far more than we did as kids. What any of us wouldn't give to get to experience some if this stuff for a first time again. So embrace it all as a great gift, girl! \m/
Sadly, it’s true. It was always all about control. But it’s done with now and I am free of it and all of those who were a part of it. And yes, you are so right! Now I fully appreciate all of this and all of YOU so much! I am ready for you! Thanks for always being so outstanding. You are amazing.
Thanks fort the memories I saw them in '77 in Chicago 2 months before the plane crash I saw myself in the audience, even though it was Oakland. You guys are great!
It is so cool to share these things with someone you love, I have become so much closer with my mom since my dad passed - one of the things we do now, is take road trips and since she has sirius radio there is obviously plenty of genres to listen to, she is 74 tomorrow and has only listened to music of the 50s when she was growing up and CLASSIC country - there are plenty of songs she doesn't care for and that is understandable, but when she hears something she likes and has never heard, I feel like I have broadened her horizon, and that is a cool feeling - by the way she now loves Skynard(really not that for from classic country) - good job guys, keep up the good work, music is one thing that brings people closer
Thanks so much for the shout out and the 9:55 mark was reaction gold. From my first time watching you both I have wanted to see Kel react to Allen Collins solo masterpiece. That solo is actually Gary Rossington and Ed King accompanying Allen during the solo. This is by far my favorite reaction video because they were my favorite band. I've seen them in concert 3 times, with the first show in '91 on their reunion tour and Rich is correct in that Johny place a hat on the mic stand and 20,000 sang Freebird. Thanks again!
Can't wait till you watch the live version...watch how the 3 guitarist mesh..the a Oakland version is one of the first gigs in which the new guitarist Steve Gaines played with the band. Tragically he was killed with Ronnie, his own sister Cassie Gaines and their long time roadie Dean Kilpatrick. LS live is spectacular.
How could anyone not like this? It’s the “Bohemian Rhapsody” of Southern Rock. I always have to listen to “High Tides and Green Grass”, by The Outlaws, after Freebird......Just damn good music!!
The dual lead guitars thing was a big part of their signature sound. I loved her reaction! Yes...the live version that we all have heard where he says "Play it pretty for Atlanta."
I was very lucky to see Lynyrd skynyrd on July 2nd 77 on day of the green #4 and Led Zeppelin last US show on day on the green #7 on July 24th 1977. As we know tragedy would soon hit both bands. Karac Plant died days later and LS plane crashed Oct 20th 77.
I had first heard the radio version but on our senior class trip, an overnight 8 hour bus ride, someone played the Gold & Platinum live version. We requested it over and over.... Forget sleep. Fast forward to an outdoor concert and a Skynyrd cover band, played it as good as ever, in the pouring rain. No one left!!!
How did I miss my favourite couple reacting to my favourite song? Such fun. I'm the guy at a jazz show yelling "play Free Bird" to see what I get. You'd be surprised.
Such a great song! But being a from Tennessee I have heard this song Soooooo many times in my life I can't take it anymore. But still.it's a Great song! Love the reaction guys ! Much love from the South East US
I had a cousin who passed away when i was very young i never got a chance to know him that well but skynyrd was his favorite band so they played this song at his funeral and its the one thing that stuck with me from it so ill always love this song.
Thumbs up and haven’t even gotten to the good part yet. I love how you keep looking at her for her reaction because you know what the rest of us know. And that is that she is about to be blown away! And yes, that bass (can’t remember who was on it) is an absolute monster!! Just driving and driving along with the drums near the end. Amazing!!
This is one of my favorite songs,this was the first Band I seen live at the age of 12,They had a barefoot Singer and their guitar Player`s were awesome,Alan Collins was amazing,He could jump high up and down and still play the guitar,super cool!.
Thoroughly enjoyed Kell’s reaction. Made me tear up. The 70’s had to be the greatest decade of musical experiences ever. Like her time machine idea. Like to go back myself. Frampton, Zepplin, Aerosmith, Nugent, Rush, Sabbath, on and on. Absolutely nothing like them since.
Another band, from my formative days, that I would listen to, in the basement. Lol. My sister left hundreds of 8 tracks. Kiss, rush, angel, dire straits, skynyrd, Boston, aerosmith, Kansas, Molly hatchet, and many more.
The Rossington Collins Band was a southern rock band founded in 1979 by guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins following the 1977 plane crash which killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, of which both had been members.
This song is almost universally considered TOP TWO rock songs of all time, Stairway To Heaven, being the other. As for me, there's about two dozen songs that share number one.
Great reaction again Kel. Yes,it's hard to believe that Kel has never heard Freebird before but I suppose if you've been raised with a purely classical upbringing then it's not so surprising.I was lucky to see Skynyrd in 1975 in Cardiff in S.Wales,UK.As a seventeen year old kid at the time,they completely blew my mind as they were one off the first live bands I'd seen.After many years and hundreds of live shows later they still rate in my top ten live bands.
I never get tired of watching people's 1st reaction to Freebird. So proud of my home town boys from my neighborhood in Jacksonville (the birthplace of southern rock) Funny thing when I was a teenager and this started playing Freebird on the am radio here in Jax they always cutoff the guitar solo. I soon found FM radio where they played the whole song. That was the day am radio died for me. Listening to the boys then was like candy for my ears. Then I found out that they were from right here where I lived. Instant Heroes! lol
This song was playing at my friend's wedding when a bunch of seniors got up to dance. My first thought was Oh oh, this isn't going to end well. When the song kicked into high gear, the look on their faces was priceless! I've never seen anyone leave a dance floor so fast!😂
I get the historical relevance of this song ,but I have heard it a 1000 times to many. For an April Fool's day joke, I created a Spotify playlist that had Freebird every 3rd song. The guys at work were pulling their hair out. I also included Layla, Hey Jude , and November Rain. I was not a popular guy that day, as I was the only one who had control of the tunes. They suffered greatly for 3 hours before I turned it off.....😜
This was so awesome watching Kel’s reaction on this one.I don’t think I have ever enjoyed this song aside from the first time I fell in love with it as much as I enjoyed it just now.Truly a masterpiece!
What's amazing about Freebird is you don't expect the guitarfest to come, it is almost like a church hymn at first, then the fireworks. Even after oh, about fifty times for me, it is still fresh. Genius song, still miss Mr Van Zant's superb, always " just right" vocals, a bit of wisdom lyrically, as usual, from LS. Kel just jumped in and swam with it, glad to see. Rock on,love the site.
Kel your like most of us we hear this song for the first time , minds blown, live version is even better, great reaction, keep up with the Skynyrd!!! Southern man!!! Who has been listening to Skynyrd since 1975, Did not to see the original group but did see them in 2001, it was awsome, they opened for ZZ TOP, i love me some ZZ TOP, but Skynyrd blew them away! Need to listen to #T-FORTEXAS#1977OKLAND.
Wow. I LOVED watching this. You two had such genuine simultaneous reactions! Rich was so excited to watch Kel experience it, and Kel - your giggles and smiles perfectly sum up how this song feels. I'm curious if you got goosebumps, lol! This is one of these songs I always get goosebumps from.
I love the live version... watch it when Ronnie pushes the boys out on the giant Rolling Stones sacred outter stage that they were told to stay off of by Mick ! Ronnie said screw that these guys are shreading big time they deserve the outter stage & got it ! That's rock-n-roll man 😎🤘 Request: The Faces ( I know ) I'm Losing You... live BBC 1971 Sounds on Saturday.... Kel will really love it ❤
This was a joy to watch. Not just for the obvious pure joy of Kels reaction, but seeing Rich’s face giving us the viewer the knowing look because he knows that we know, and knowing that we know that he knows whats coming as this master of a track starts to build up. Great stuff, such an all time classic

One of the most awesome guitar solos in rock history!
cajun812 I would respectfully disagree. It is THE most amazing guitar solo in rock history!

You just made many many many guitarists sick and a lot of others roll over in their graves.
@@prprod I do agree that it's not the most complicated guitar solo in the world but is pretty great to listen to
@@prprod shut Up and go to cry with your mom lol
@@gustavocastillo3292 Gus I would but she died 5 years ago...Nice
A perfectly precious reaction! Go Kel!!! Her appreciation for the musicianship, being classically trained, is clearly evidenced, and a joy to behold. Thanks guys!!! 🤓👍

PS: You have to watch NoLifeShaq react to this. He walks out of the room speechless. Hilarious.
Saw his reaction. He makes me laugh.
I loved No Life Shaqs reaction!.
Well, Rich. You've created a Skynyrd fan. Congratulations!
Welcome to southern rock, Kel. Enjoy the journey!
Okay. She loves Free Bird. This means we have a chance to turn her onto other southern rock bands. I suggest the Fillmore live version of "Whipping Post" so she can hear Duane Allman play the hell out of a slide guitar.
I'd add "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" - it's an instrumental, but it's one of the first "new music experiences" I gained in college. Amazing song.
Jessica
@@bryansproles2879 - Yeah, that was going to be my second choice. Amazing song!
Statesboro Blues from At Fillmore East, killer slide guitar from Duane Allman the master

Hi guys, came across your reaction to Freebird, now as a 76 old Brit who in his his teens in the sixties and in my twenties in the seventies, where I became a YES fan.
I am very proud of the music this tiny island put out, but if I was to create a top out of everything that is out there, Freebird would be in it.
A true masterpiece.
Kel's reaction is awesome!!! To hear Freebird for the first time, life changing.
First time I've heard someone describe Free Bird as beautiful. She gets it man, she gets it. Welcome aboard sweetheart.
Everyone waiting for the solo to kick in and Kel's face when it does.
She didnt disappoint.
Iconic song even though they were good 'ol boys.
It's just the perfect guitar solo ending. Just when you're saying to yourself, "ok, it can end now", it fades out. Perfect timing.
"Maior e melhor solo de todos os tempos!"
"Biggest and best solo ever!"
Brazillians... 😄😄
Freebird is the best classic rock song ever imo. I never got to see the original band, but I have seen them several times with Johnny singing. Great times never been disappointed. R.I.P. Ronnie, Cassie, Steve, Bob, Leon, Billy, and Allen.
What a wonderful thing to see the joy this brought Kel. Way to go, you two!
It’s hard to believe anyone has not heard free bird, but so glad we got to see her react to it!
Love watching someone listen to this and not know what is about to hit them! Without a doubt, the best three guitar attack ever recorded.
Oh, man the joy on her face and in her voice... I think this is my favorite reaction to date.
Watching the joy in Kel's face was priceless!
Hard to believe after 46 years now...after a thousand times,this song still kills me.Love both of your reactions....Just think how lucky we all are this song was written.

Glad you enjoyed it Kel! It never gets old!
Here we go!!!!!!!!!!
This band was one of the first to reveal to me that "a song doesn't need vocal harmonies" to be great. And the progressions..... incredible!!! :)
One of the classic rock tracks of all time its quite suprising that you havent reacted to this already.but there are so many classic tunes that its still going to take a while for Kel to hear them all.she is a freebird!
🎧😊
Never clicked on a video so quickly! It's happening!!
She`s sooooo great- but this song- one of the greatest songs i`ve ever listen, and i am 71!
Tuesday's Gone. My favorite. With the wind.
Definitely!
My 8 yr old heard me listening to Tuesdays Gone the other day and ran in the room yelling, “yay, the happy Gilmore song!”
Needle And The Spoon!
Awesome song!
Saw them front row center! I was leaning on the stage and the guitarists played this in my face!! I lost my voice for a week!
Ohhhhhh no way! What an amazing show that must have been!!!!!
when the solo started, on the screen was written "biggest and best solo ever"
I just love watching the first reactions to this song. When the slow, easy going vocals lull them away and they have no idea what's coming when the guitar solo hits.
Heard Free Bird a 1000 times and never get tired of it! The best anthem ever!
Steve Gaines , Gary Rossington , Allen Collins are just awesome guitar players, Allen's solo in this song is absolute perfection!!!
Can't leave out Leon Wilkeson, bassist, with the finger-breaking runs about 4 5ths of the way thru, nearing the end.
I can't express fully the absolute joy Kel's heartfelt reactions to the music cause me to feel when I watch. NEVER fails to put a smile on my face! Thanks so much for your continued corruption of this lovely lady Rich!! I truly appreciate what you're doing here!! Keep at it it and I'll keep watching! Deal?
Love love you guys. this made me cry as I adore this song xxxxx
Your reaction to great rock music, Kel is a sight to behold. :-)
The Outlaws, Green Grass & High Tides. Your welcome.
If you want face melting guitars
Excuse my French but...F-King amazing, I want to hear Freebird for the 1st time, again!!! Love Kel's reactions ❤️❤️❤️
Free bird is such a classic song and the solo is awesome.
I've said it before.. the beauty and genius of this song is of course the solo.. and the fact that it weaves effortlessly into and out of the background rhythm in the background.. like a dance. One of the best songs in the genre for sure.

Sadly, it’s true. It was always all about control.
But it’s done with now and I am free of it and all of those who were a part of it.
And yes, you are so right! Now I fully appreciate all of this and all of YOU so much!
I am ready for you!
Thanks for always being so outstanding. You are amazing.
Thanks fort the memories I saw them in '77 in Chicago 2 months before the plane crash I saw myself in the audience, even though it was Oakland. You guys are great!
I loved Kel’s reaction and the look of joy on her face now that’s a great reaction.
Good reaction! Kel, you were kept from a lot. Good that you found Rich. You two are a great couple.
Thank you so much Dave 😊
Didn't watch this yet, full of anticipation. I feel my day is about to be made.
Awww thank you so much for saying that! I hope you got what you wanted!
Your reaction to this is the same one we all had when it came out! Amazing!
It is so cool to share these things with someone you love, I have become so much closer with my mom since my dad passed - one of the things we do now, is take road trips and since she has sirius radio there is obviously plenty of genres to listen to, she is 74 tomorrow and has only listened to music of the 50s when she was growing up and CLASSIC country - there are plenty of songs she doesn't care for and that is understandable, but when she hears something she likes and has never heard, I feel like I have broadened her horizon, and that is a cool feeling - by the way she now loves Skynard(really not that for from classic country) - good job guys, keep up the good work, music is one thing that brings people closer

@@kelligafter502 hello...awesome reaction...just loved it
Can't wait till you watch the live version...watch how the 3 guitarist mesh..the a Oakland version is one of the first gigs in which the new guitarist Steve Gaines played with the band. Tragically he was killed with Ronnie, his own sister Cassie Gaines and their long time roadie Dean Kilpatrick. LS live is spectacular.
Thanks! The Knebworth live version is the best! 😎👍
Loved your reaction to this iconic piece of classic Southern Rock!!!! So glad you shared this with us!
How could anyone not like this? It’s the “Bohemian Rhapsody” of Southern Rock. I always have to listen to “High Tides and Green Grass”, by The Outlaws, after Freebird......Just damn good music!!

I was very lucky to see Lynyrd skynyrd on July 2nd 77 on day of the green #4 and Led Zeppelin last US show on day on the green #7 on July 24th 1977. As we know tragedy would soon hit both bands. Karac Plant died days later and LS plane crashed Oct 20th 77.
I was there, too. Simply the most exhilarating concert I've ever been too.
Best first reaction to Freebird I have seen yet!
I had first heard the radio version but on our senior class trip, an overnight 8 hour bus ride, someone played the Gold & Platinum live version. We requested it over and over.... Forget sleep. Fast forward to an outdoor concert and a Skynyrd cover band, played it as good as ever, in the pouring rain. No one left!!!
Thus is by far the greatest solo in history! Such a treat to watch it unleash on another person for the first time!!
How did I miss my favourite couple reacting to my favourite song? Such fun.
I'm the guy at a jazz show yelling "play Free Bird" to see what I get. You'd be surprised.
I love your reaction!!!...we all knew what was coming hee hee - how cool is this!
Such a great song! But being a from Tennessee I have heard this song Soooooo many times in my life I can't take it anymore. But still.it's a Great song! Love the reaction guys ! Much love from the South East US
So too cool to see someone hear this for the first time.
Thanks for sharing
Lynyrd Skynyrd “That Smell”
The Rossington-Collins band put out a couple of albums around 1980. They were the remaining members of Skynyrd before deciding to bring the name back.
music I listen to here Im71 years old still listen to this music May they [RIP]
Listened to it over and over and over. Yes us Canadians love the classic rock.
Have you done hotel California yet?
Love you guys
Alan was on fire at Knebworth.
Double leads baby !!! Freakin awesome !!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I had a cousin who passed away when i was very young i never got a chance to know him that well but skynyrd was his favorite band so they played this song at his funeral and its the one thing that stuck with me from it so ill always love this song.
"Freebird!!!"
"NOT Freebird. That's tomorrow, ok? The full 17 minute blow-out version" - Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree
Thumbs up and haven’t even gotten to the good part yet. I love how you keep looking at her for her reaction because you know what the rest of us know. And that is that she is about to be blown away! And yes, that bass (can’t remember who was on it) is an absolute monster!! Just driving and driving along with the drums near the end. Amazing!!
This is one of my favorite songs,this was the first Band I seen live at the age of 12,They had a barefoot Singer and their guitar Player`s were awesome,Alan Collins was amazing,He could jump high up and down and still play the guitar,super cool!.
Loved the. Rossington Collins Band!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed Kell’s reaction. Made me tear up. The 70’s had to be the greatest decade of musical experiences ever. Like her time machine idea. Like to go back myself. Frampton, Zepplin, Aerosmith, Nugent, Rush, Sabbath, on and on. Absolutely nothing like them since.
I'm not sure what gave me the most chills. Free Bird or Kel's reaction! TOO COOL!!
Another band, from my formative days, that I would listen to, in the basement. Lol. My sister left hundreds of 8 tracks. Kiss, rush, angel, dire straits, skynyrd, Boston, aerosmith, Kansas, Molly hatchet, and many more.
This isnt just a song it's an anthem. This reaction is beautiful!
The Rossington Collins Band was a southern rock band founded in 1979 by guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins following the 1977 plane crash which killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, of which both had been members.

Haha.... good music = joy. I could almost hear Kel shout "Freeeebird!" in her mind. Welcome to the club.
This song was playing at my friend's wedding when a bunch of seniors got up to dance. My first thought was Oh oh, this isn't going to end well. When the song kicked into high gear, the look on their faces was priceless! I've never seen anyone leave a dance floor so fast!😂
them boys were pouring there heart into that solo! i get chills everytime

They suffered greatly for 3 hours before I turned it off.....😜
That last build up is so excruciating yet so friggin awesome 🤣
This was so awesome watching Kel’s reaction on this one.I don’t think I have ever enjoyed this song aside from the first time I fell in love with it as much as I enjoyed it just now.Truly a masterpiece!
Witness the holy terror of the guitar trio!
What's amazing about Freebird is you don't expect the guitarfest to come, it is almost like a church hymn at first, then the fireworks. Even after oh, about fifty times for me, it is still fresh. Genius song, still miss Mr Van Zant's superb, always " just right" vocals, a bit of wisdom lyrically, as usual, from LS. Kel just jumped in and swam with it, glad to see. Rock on,love the site.
So fun to see someone discover Freebird for the first time.
Kel your like most of us we hear this song for the first time , minds blown, live version is even better, great reaction, keep up with the Skynyrd!!! Southern man!!! Who has been listening to Skynyrd since 1975, Did not to see the original group but did see them in 2001, it was awsome, they opened for ZZ TOP, i love me some ZZ TOP, but Skynyrd blew them away! Need to listen to #T-FORTEXAS#1977OKLAND.
I'm new to this channel and the way Kel looks at you in the beginning of this video is wonderful. True love .
Greatest rock song ever written.
A Skynyrd fan is born . Ma'am , grab onto your chair , it's not a Cadillac , it's the giant roller coaster , lol !
The song that changed Lynard Skynard from a great band into a legend. Great reaction and righteous tee shirt!
Wow. I LOVED watching this. You two had such genuine simultaneous reactions! Rich was so excited to watch Kel experience it, and Kel - your giggles and smiles perfectly sum up how this song feels. I'm curious if you got goosebumps, lol! This is one of these songs I always get goosebumps from.
I love the live version... watch it when Ronnie pushes the boys out on the giant Rolling Stones sacred outter stage that they were told to stay off of by Mick ! Ronnie said screw that these guys are shreading big time they deserve the outter stage & got it ! That's rock-n-roll man 😎🤘
Request: The Faces ( I know ) I'm Losing You... live BBC 1971 Sounds on Saturday.... Kel will really love it ❤
Me thinks Kel had multiple eargasms!!! Someone get her a towel...
loving the Pinky & the Brain T-shirt!
Thanks bro! I love them both. Thanks for being here!
The live version is even better....
