I love this woman's reaction to guitars and how she appreciates it at a non literal level and constantly associates it with classical. She really gets it.
people are familiar with the England live version, and the Oakland live version........... but the Atlanta live version from their live album is the best of them all.
Sometimes I'm jealous of reactors--what I wouldn't give to be able to go back and hear these awesome songs for the first time again. It's sad to say, but a lot of this gets taken for granted by those of us who have heard them thousands of times. I try not to, but it's great to be able to experience a first listen through your ears.
I agree. I think that's why we love to watch reaction videos. We try to relive what we experienced through them. At least maybe that's why I love to watch their reactions.

The plus side is that people like Brad & Lex, Lost In Vegas, The Charismatic Voice, and select others, have something to offer the listeners other than, "DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN!!!" Couch Gang, thank you for your different musical upbringings, your open mind to the music you bring on, and the conversation that comes from hearing musical favorites!
@@evbo_schmev Agreed with Free Bird, but it's definitely one of the best solos in terms of getting you pumped up! It's been about 30 years for me now and I still shake myself to that solo every time I hear it.
I love seeing Lex's reactions, she truly enjoys the music, be it an awesome guitar solo or a sad song, she puts the emotion on the songs almost as the artist who made the song
Standing 5 feet from the stage watching the original lineup do this was and still is one of my greatest memories..Alan's jump at the peak of the solo always blew me away every time....
I live in Texas 🇨🇱 and I was planning to go see Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in Dallas/Ft Worth that was scheduled before the plane crashed. Man I was so upset about it! I’ve had the ringtone of the first few notes of “Sweet Home Alabama” for many years now. I have the collector Album cover that shows Ronnie Van Zandt, Steve Gains & his sister Chrissy Gains, (the three killed) where it looks like they’re engulfed in flames 🔥. Man, I was so upset hearing that. 🥲
One of biggest travesties in the music industry is that when ever some publications make a list of the top 100 guitarists of all time, the boys from Skynyrd always get disrespected. They're either completely ignored,.. or placed far down on the list! Allen Collins should easily make the top twenty of any list.
@@jhood758 I also have the Street Survivors original album I bought it when it first came out as I did every Skynard lp the minute they hit the stores...
Brought tears to my eyes watching your reaction. Loved it. I'm 54 grew up listening to and loving this music. I truly enjoy another generation enjoying it. Love you both! Lex, you are such a bright light and happy soul. You're cute as can possibly be. Brad is a man's man. I hope you two stay together forever! God bless.
You guys are a beautiful couple, I love Lex’s expressions, I found you two by accident and am so happy that I did, I’m 73 years old and love the music I grew up with up into the 90’s. Rock on!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is the embodiment of Southern Rock. There music touches everyone in a different way. It was one thing that Country Fans and Rock Fans can enjoy together. "Ballad of Curtis Lowe" "Gimme Three Steps" "What;s your Name" "That Smell"
That smile ONLY MADE when someone hears the tempo change of Freebird for the 1st time. Epic song. It’s on every jukebox within walking distance of every overseas USAF instillation.
What a Juke Box ----- lol Know very well from back in the Day and especially all the juke joints within walking distance of Army Post in 7 different countries Thanks my USAF brother
This is southern rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the most talented bands there's ever been! I remember when their plane crashed, all us kids in my neighborhood cried. We couldn't believe it. They were huge and were only getting bigger at that very point in time. Ronny Van Zant, the singer, wrote nothing but fire! He had that magical talent only a few famous songwriters get. Yes, they were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, they'll always be one of my top bands as long as I'm breathing.
I feel ya! I mean, I was only one when the plane crash happened, but I had a cool ass mom who showed me all the greats in southern rock (which in my opinion Skynyrd totally started!) and classic rock! Hell, I lost something I can never get back with Skynyrd on the radio (I need you)! I wish I could have seen them before the crash, but I have seen them like 10 times since I was 16. Like you, I love to see people react to something for the first time, knowing it is something amazing that they are about to hear!
This song brings back so many memories from my childhood like in my teens I mean just hanging out and you know people with the old Camaros and the floor for two then transfer open drinking out of a K again it’s just one times were fun and good
Born and raised in Alabama, I spent all of my teenage years in the 70's. This song is such a huge part of my life. So many good times riding around in my Chevy Nova playing Skynyrd with my friends.
I needed a little ray of sunshine in my life dealing with my moms having stage 4 cancer and seeing people love and enjoy amazing music just brightens my day. Thank ya'll. Love your channel.
Free Bird was 1 of the most played songs on the local classic rock radio station growing up, almost to the point that it was hard to listen to the song anymore. Seeing Lex so moved by the guitar solo, gave me a renewed appreciation and love for this song. Absolutely loved this reaction. Thank You.
I have to say, it was so satisfying to watch Lex's reaction. It's like watching somebody open a Christmas present you know they're going to love. That beautiful feeling that song gave you doesn't go away. Ever. ❤
I was just about to say I'm so excited for them to react to "That Smell" now (because the solos are so good), and I see they already have. I'm so excited to see Lex's reaction to those end solos.
It's beautiful to watch these young people explore music, this was the music of my youth a young submarine sailor 20 years old serving with my brothers from around the US my southern brothers introduced me to southern rock, the rest is history
When I watch someone hearing this timeless classic for the first time it actually makes me tear up just watching them. This song is like an epiphany and sharing it with people is a great joy. By the way watching them play it live in 1977 is even better than this. The guitar solo is gotta be one of the top ten of all time. So many masters of their craft in one band effortlessly turning it on. and in the background of this masterpiece is the sobering reminder of their fate in a plane crash which makes it even more poignant.
Back in 1977 I saw them at the Concord Pavilion in California over near Oakland just before where they filmed that live version at the Oakland Stadium you see alot. That one in Oakland is NOT my favorite rendition of this song. When I left the Army back in 76, it was tradition this was to be play by the best stereo in the Barracks as you crossed the doorway leaving the building for the last time.. By the best stereo I mean really the best. Pioneer amps and Equalizers,Sansui, JBL's Kenwoods speakers, Dual or Harmon Cardon Turntables, Teac Real to Reals, Ect, Ect, Ect. The best back in the 76 era.for around $3000+. I played it for someone and someone played it for me.
Yep. I'm not a huge fan of Lynnard Skynnard but that live version of this song in the 70s at Oakland was probably the best live performance of any song I've heard 👍
I love watching you two. I'm almost 60, and this song came out when I was a kid. It's been a go-to song for me ever since. Watching you love it, made me feel really good. I look forward to the notifications. :)
Similar theme is the second half of Boston’s “Foreplay/Longtime”. The song is killer. Part one is awesome instrumental. Then the groove hits as he has to go and chase his dream even though he sort of knows he’ll probably never get there.
@@xzaviercutts6487 Boston the first major concert I ever saw back when I was 13 .28 years later in a bad bike accident in a comma for three months - my sister brought a small CD player boom box to trauma center started playing Bostons first release my toes started tapping - the gift of good music- Your Dad did you right :)
lost my nephew 5 yrs ago in a car accident......the night before he passed, he osted on facebook the beginning lyrics to this song. he and i both liked alot of classic rock, i introduced him to most of it. whenever i hear this, it still haunts me. and yes.....lex's reaction to the solo.......awesome and priceless!!!!
Lex's reactions are so pure they're beautiful. She is a mirror to the times when we first heard songs such as this and I am a wee bit jealous of the sense of awe she has!
She has such a great imagination and a great appreciation for the vibe, the feel the song and guitars are bringing across. She's an old soul who gets it! I like her!
I know there's a ton of Lex love here - and it's warranted, but this is one of the most I've seen Brad get into a tune in a while as well. I think Lex is driven by the music while Brad is driven by the lyrics and overall meaning. Legendary song. These two are fun af to watch!
I really enjoy your videos, but never comment. So, hear it goes! As a professional musician, I truly enjoy watching you both react to songs that I know and love. Watching your videos has also broadened my appreciation for some artists. As a live performer, we thrive off peoples reactions to our art; while on stage, it gets us going. It's super cool to sit and listen to all the great music with you. You both appreciate music in very different ways, and also appreciate each others perspective. Ya'll make me laugh, a lot! Perhaps, I'll reach a level in my career where you'll reacte to my stuff. If you ever get the chance, I'd love to see your reaction to the band Snarky Puppy; I recommend the song "Lingus". Thanks again
Brad, you are 100 about it being a song every man needs to hear. Best part is, the song doesn’t say the woman doesn’t end up with him right 👍🏻, just says in the most beautiful way “I got to be me”
7:39 God I love Lex. Watching her get to experience music like this for the first time just makes me smile like I’m hearing it for the first time all over again. Brad is such a lucky man to be with a spirit like her. Nothing but love for you both.
It would be a privilege to set and listen to music all day with Lex, she is so cool and full of positive energy. The way she interprets the songs makes me appreciate, and hear them in a totally different way now. I can't wait for more of your videos.
Saw them in concert in LA while serving in the Marines back in 1977 a couple months before half the band died in a plane crash. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Legendary!
NOW YOUR TALKING OMG ....GOD BLESS 🙌🏿 YOU RONNIE ❤️ YOU KNEW YOU KNEW YOU WOULDNT EVER SEE 30 ...YOU ALWAYS SAID IT......WE LOVE YOU & THE POSSE UP THERE .......THINGS JUST HAVENT BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT RONNIE X RIP YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOUR FLYING HIGH NOW bro gly fly fly flyyyyyy flyyyy brother cuz your free as a 🐦 🪽 .....x
Just patiently waiting for Lex's reaction to the 2nd half!!! Those Jacksonville boys could play! Some still do. As a Florida girl I was raised on this!!!
A very good friend (brother) of mine always told me to play "Simple Man" at his funeral. About a year ago I got to fulfill that request. Brother Jack you will always be missed.
My philosophy on relationships: 1 - learn to love being alone, enjoy single life, learn to be an individual. 2 - only enter a relationship when you meet a person where you know you are both improving your lives by being together. that's it.
Well; if one can find that -- "chemistry" .. Ya know; that magical "chemical reaction" .. You definitely have a keeper for life! ruclips.net/video/d2QNuDUTocE/видео.html
Lex has so much energy and is always ready to rock while Brad has excellent musical sense. You both got into one of the greatest guitar pieces of all time !!!
6:27 - classic Lex. Change of pace, eyebrows go up, and she lets out a little “Ohhh” of anticipation with rising intonation. Always makes me smile. And Brad gets such an obvious kick out of her reactions. Such great energy with you two. 👍
Good Lord, Lexington is just a bonfire of personality. A smile as bright as a stratocaster, a laugh as warm as a les Paul... You are a lucky man, Brad.
that solo is like a 10 year old wrote it ... and i don't mean it in an offensive way, but they take a lick and play it for 4 to 8 measures, then another, and play it over and over, then another..... very sparse amount of actual soloing, different time though....
Just when you think they've reached the peak of the song, they level up or throw a wrinkle into it. This song never gets old no matter how many times you hear it.
Confession here: You two are my favorite reaction couple. Brad, look at Lex, that is the definition of a "keeper". What a doll, what a personality, what a mind! Yeah, hang on to her. Lex, Look at Brad, there is a based man, he is a keeper. I could easily be friends with him. He is "real", he is a good guy. The funny thing is that when you take a good man and a good woman the result is far more than the sum of the parts, that is where the magic is. I have seen some of your videos about your trials in life, and I wish only the best for you two. There is a big difference between wishes and reality. You have my wishes, I am confident you will make a reality that exceeds my wishes, more power to you.
I tear up to Freebird, Simpleman, Tuesdays Gone, I Need You. That’s just Skynyrd’s songs that does that to me. There’s several other bands that has songs that hits my heart and gives me chills!
I love watching lex during a guitar solo, she cracks me up with her reactions and facial expression. But, lol. I am 59 years old and have heard this song a million times and never realized that there were two lead guitarist playing different rhythms at the same time and one fading in as the other fades out. Learn something new everyday. 👍😎👍
Yeah,y'all need to watch this at the coliseum,even if it's on your own,because you get to see them perform it.the crowd waited all day to hear this one song.its EPIC!!!
It's the greatest feeling to watch Lex react because it takes me back to buying the album and sitting in my room with the sound turned up. That same feeling! Thank you, Lex and Brad.
Written by the late, greats Alan Collins (gtr) and Ronnie Van Zant (vocals). The best live version to view is from Knebworth, England 1976. The dueling solos are epic.
I don't think it would hurt anyone's feelings if you guys did the live concert version from Oakland. Getting the visual is a completely different experience. Lex will lose her mind.
I have watched this reaction a few times now, because it is one of the best reactions (the best?) I have seen. It's fun watching y'all work together, and watching the music reach you, especially the long guitar outro where the music keeps revving up, changing gears as it picks up speed, and shifting to an even higher gear. This comment is months late, but y'all did a great job with this one.
No matter how many reactions I see to this song- including in my own life when I play it for a newbie- its always so exciting knowing that speed change and solo is coming and that its going to blow the listener away. This was no exception- one of the best in fact!
Some songs do something for you This song was introduced to me by my brother in law who was a musician He passed away and on my drive back from the hospital this came on 30 minutes before he left us To this day the first verse brings a tear, Power of music,I embrace it now x great reaction guys x
Watching Lex's face light up during the guitar solo section made me smile.
I was worried her head was going to explode at one point lol
same :D
I saw the title and thought Lex is gonna get lost in that solo.
I know, when we know what's coming lol
Same
I love this woman's reaction to guitars and how she appreciates it at a non literal level and constantly associates it with classical. She really gets it.
Lex gave the best reaction to Free Bird ever... She is such a gem.
@@alexbernier7903 Knebworth was better, them going out on Mick Jaggers tongue was the greatest moment in Rock history in my opinion ✌️
people are familiar with the England live version, and the Oakland live version........... but the Atlanta live version from their live album is the best of them all.
@@odurandina play it pretty for Duane ALLMAN! I was there and I saw them in the Fox theater too.
You got to see her reaction to the Pink Floyd song Mother.
Its priceless!!
0:15 start my music 🎶 please 🙏 4:14 continue please 🙏 sir 6:26 lord I can’t change 6:35 FREE BIRD 🦅 YEAH 👍 girl dance 🪩 yourself
Allen Collins was *THE* man 🎸 A wildly energetic, technically brilliant solo from a humble, unassuming, legendary guy.
I’ve heard Free Bird a thousand times but seeing Lex hear it the first time gives me goose bumps!
its like hearing it for the first time again
He's dead! It's about death.
Facts me too I love her reactions, it takes me back to my first time hearing these songs
Sometimes I'm jealous of reactors--what I wouldn't give to be able to go back and hear these awesome songs for the first time again. It's sad to say, but a lot of this gets taken for granted by those of us who have heard them thousands of times. I try not to, but it's great to be able to experience a first listen through your ears.
True, but then I think about most of the crap they grew up on and I feel bad for them.
Me too … but then I remember all the concerts I went to in the 90s and I don’t get that jealous that much lol
Bro.
I agree. I think that's why we love to watch reaction videos. We try to relive what we experienced through them. At least maybe that's why I love to watch their reactions.
Reaction videos, like many other popular trends, are inundating the atmosphere though...like an asshole, everyone's got one. The unfortunate side of it is that many of them are just people shouting out interjections. Those are boring, because anybody can do that...those types don't deserve the platform. The plus side is that people like Brad & Lex, Lost In Vegas, The Charismatic Voice, and select others, have something to offer the listeners other than, "DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN!!!"
Couch Gang, thank you for your different musical upbringings, your open mind to the music you bring on, and the conversation that comes from hearing musical favorites!
Lex has unbridled enthusiasm, she is so full of joy.
Kramer: Well it's a story about love, deception, greed, lust and...unbridled enthusiasm.
Lex looks like she would be so much fun to go to a concert with. Love her reaction to the guitar solos❤️.
Widely considered as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and it's nearing 50 yrs old now!
This and the Comfortably Numb solo are without doubt the two best solos of all time (guitar - there are some piano solos that are mind boggling).
@@DrtyFck there are better solos than free bird imo, comfortably numb on the other is the best solo of all time
@@evbo_schmev Agreed with Free Bird, but it's definitely one of the best solos in terms of getting you pumped up! It's been about 30 years for me now and I still shake myself to that solo every time I hear it.
And is was played with three guitarists in the end of the song. I fell in love with Lex there...
Allan was 17 when he composed it 17!
"Simple Man" is a song by them that every man should listen to. It's some straight up good advice for the most part. Great song too.
Agree! I think youd love the message if you havnt heard it.
I love that song. The message will always stay with me to the day I kiss the ground
I know they would appreciate that song
Yes, please! "Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man" is not only an anthem but would make a great reaction video if you guys enjoyed this song here.
Absolutely, just recommended that myself. Peace
I love Lex's reactions to these songs. Pure joy. Period.
Watching that smile emerge, is an addiction, she just MAKES ME SMILE!
I kinda enjoy the difference in their reactions.
Brad is more analytical, where Lex lets it flow.
I like both.
Vive la différence!
nice to see someone not give a f, or fake it well
I love seeing Lex's reactions, she truly enjoys the music, be it an awesome guitar solo or a sad song, she puts the emotion on the songs almost as the artist who made the song
Thank God Brad is paying attention to the lyrics or all of us would be dragged into Lex's sheer joy and forget everything else!
LMAO!
Freebirds an anthem
I like her takes, but Brad listens to the music the way I do alot
Riight?!?! ALWAYS!!!😄
Lex is a Vixen!
Legend says they still haven't finished playing them guitars.
Wouldn't it be funny if they continued the solo on secret tracks on every album released after? lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
♥️♥️
Legend says the guitar solo started with the big-bang.
Gary jams it out with Ricky occasionally
Standing 5 feet from the stage watching the original lineup do this was and still is one of my greatest memories..Alan's jump at the peak of the solo always blew me away every time....

Isn't that the truth.. She's got that rocker to the core

"Simple Man"
Sweet Home Alabama
That smell, call me the breeze, I'm going to stop before I make a complete list.

I heard this song lots of times and knowing Lex’s love of the guitar, I am oh she is going to bounce Brad right off the couch😂
So funny,...I was wondering to myself if they switch seat cushions around because Lex is gonna wear that one out!!!
What will Lex say about the Outlaws? 4 Guitarists!!! Can't forget The Allman Brothers Band!!!
In 1977 there wasn’t a band on the planet that wanted to follow them on stage. Ask the Stones
I was at Knebworth that day when 100000+ people who had never heard of LS suddenly woke up and realised that they were hearing something special.

The song that “every man needs to listen to” is Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man”.
Exactly, my son got married on the 9th and our mother son dance was Simple Man. Such an amazing song.
Nailed it.
@@WitchessJae my cousin danced with his mom to the shinedown cover on his wedding night
And the 2 better man songs 1)pearl jam and 2)Leon bridges
I was just thinking that a couple of days ago.
I love watching you two. I'm almost 60, and this song came out when I was a kid. It's been a go-to song for me ever since. Watching you love it, made me feel really good. I look forward to the notifications. :)
Similar theme is the second half of Boston’s “Foreplay/Longtime”. The song is killer. Part one is awesome instrumental. Then the groove hits as he has to go and chase his dream even though he sort of knows he’ll probably never get there.
Also Blackfoot's Highway Song & the Outlaws' Green Grass & High Tides
Love Boston. One of the only things my dad left for me was my love for Boston
I'll 2nd this request, 1 of the most epic rock songs of all time.
@@divinity269 Train Train is good too.
@@xzaviercutts6487 Boston the first major concert I ever saw back when I was 13 .28 years later in a bad bike accident in a comma for three months - my sister brought a small CD player boom box to trauma center started playing Bostons first release my toes started tapping - the gift of good music- Your Dad did you right :)
lost my nephew 5 yrs ago in a car accident......the night before he passed, he osted on facebook the beginning lyrics to this song. he and i both liked alot of classic rock, i introduced him to most of it. whenever i hear this, it still haunts me. and yes.....lex's reaction to the solo.......awesome and priceless!!!!
Lex's reactions are so pure they're beautiful. She is a mirror to the times when we first heard songs such as this and I am a wee bit jealous of the sense of awe she has!
Lex's reaction was pretty much everyone's reaction when this was first played on the radio. Then it was straight to the record store.
She has such a great imagination and a great appreciation for the vibe, the feel the song and guitars are bringing across. She's an old soul who gets it! I like her!
It is an absolute joy for those of us who know and love the music to see Lex's reaction ...
She's in her element here ...
I know there's a ton of Lex love here - and it's warranted, but this is one of the most I've seen Brad get into a tune in a while as well. I think Lex is driven by the music while Brad is driven by the lyrics and overall meaning. Legendary song. These two are fun af to watch!
I really enjoy your videos, but never comment. So, hear it goes! As a professional musician, I truly enjoy watching you both react to songs that I know and love. Watching your videos has also broadened my appreciation for some artists. As a live performer, we thrive off peoples reactions to our art; while on stage, it gets us going. It's super cool to sit and listen to all the great music with you. You both appreciate music in very different ways, and also appreciate each others perspective. Ya'll make me laugh, a lot! Perhaps, I'll reach a level in my career where you'll reacte to my stuff. If you ever get the chance, I'd love to see your reaction to the band Snarky Puppy; I recommend the song "Lingus". Thanks again
I absolutely love watching Lex get lost in the music. It's beautiful.
Brad, you are 100 about it being a song every man needs to hear. Best part is, the song doesn’t say the woman doesn’t end up with him right 👍🏻, just says in the most beautiful way “I got to be me”
The absolute cutest reaction to this one of a kind solo, Lex 🖤🖤🖤
You guys are THE best!
Absolute BEST!
I'm 67 and to see your expressions and hear your reactions is life giving to me.
Keep up the great work
7:39 God I love Lex. Watching her get to experience music like this for the first time just makes me smile like I’m hearing it for the first time all over again. Brad is such a lucky man to be with a spirit like her. Nothing but love for you both.
It would be a privilege to set and listen to music all day with Lex, she is so cool and full of positive energy. The way she interprets the songs makes me appreciate, and hear them in a totally different way now. I can't wait for more of your videos.
Saw them in concert in LA while serving in the Marines back in 1977 a couple months before half the band died in a plane crash. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Legendary!
NOW YOUR TALKING OMG ....GOD BLESS 🙌🏿 YOU RONNIE ❤️ YOU KNEW YOU KNEW YOU WOULDNT EVER SEE 30 ...YOU ALWAYS SAID IT......WE LOVE YOU & THE POSSE UP THERE .......THINGS JUST HAVENT BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT RONNIE X RIP YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOUR FLYING HIGH NOW bro gly fly fly flyyyyyy flyyyy brother cuz your free as a 🐦 🪽 .....x
Just patiently waiting for Lex's reaction to the 2nd half!!! Those Jacksonville boys could play! Some still do. As a Florida girl I was raised on this!!!
Me too!!!
Me 3!
Would love for you to react to the concert at Oakland Colosium or Knebworth! Lex think she happy now? Listen to the live!
This song was played at close friends funeral. Not just a break up song.
Lot's ❤ to U both.
Man that must've been such an emotional moment, sorry for your loss.
A very good friend (brother) of mine always told me to play "Simple Man" at his funeral. About a year ago I got to fulfill that request. Brother Jack you will always be missed.
I love Lex's reaction to the guitars...it's sheer joy. You need to see a live video of this and enjoy the 3 guitarists rockin out.
Make that 4 don't forget the bass
I love Lexs reaction..lol...she's such a rock n roll girl...keep up your entertaining reactions! You make the channel fun to watch.
Love how Lex perks up when the song changes and the solo starts rolling…
My philosophy on relationships:
1 - learn to love being alone, enjoy single life, learn to be an individual.
2 - only enter a relationship when you meet a person where you know you are both improving your lives by being together.
that's it.
Petty good advice. I would add never be afraid about walking away if the relationship isn't working.
Nailed it!!!!!!
@@billhalverson5752 Exactly. How can you love someone if you can't truly love yourself? All great advice!
Well; if one can find that -- "chemistry" ..
Ya know; that magical "chemical reaction" ..
You definitely have a keeper for life!

LOVE THE ONE YOUR WITH!
When Lex hears the guitar she starts grooving it's the most wholesome thing 😁😁😁
Lex has so much energy and is always ready to rock while Brad has excellent musical sense. You both got into one of the greatest guitar pieces of all time !!!
Seeing him play this in concert was mesmerizing. They way he worked that guitar was absolutely amazing.
6:27 - classic Lex. Change of pace, eyebrows go up, and she lets out a little “Ohhh” of anticipation with rising intonation. Always makes me smile. And Brad gets such an obvious kick out of her reactions. Such great energy with you two. 👍
Lex as usual is a joy to watch. This was however Brad's best reaction I've seen to date.
“That took my soul somewhere!” I love that for you Lex🥰. IMO that’s one of the best things in life….music that moves you. I live for that shit! ❤️
Love how she gets into a different culture of music, and how excited she gets about it. 🫠
Well Lex... here I am at 67 yrs old and feel EXACTLY... the same as you do listening to this!! Still!!❣️❣️👍😁👍😁
Good Lord, Lexington is just a bonfire of personality. A smile as bright as a stratocaster, a laugh as warm as a les Paul... You are a lucky man, Brad.
What a great way to describe Lex!!!!
Beautiful mind, beautiful woman!
Corniness world record
All I know is I got a huge crush on the woman....and I am way too old for crushes.
Seeing Lex's pure unbridled joy when listening to proper old school rock songs for the 1st time is beautiful to watch. Love your videos
I love watching Lex's reaction to the guitar jam at the end. She totally gets it! You must see it performed live! It's a life altering experience!
That sweet guitar solo is him flying away. Love how the song goes from sweet and sleepy to having incredible energy.
Wow, this song is... magical. That solo is so amazing, it definitely transports you to a good place in your mind where you just float and vibe to it.
that solo is like a 10 year old wrote it ... and i don't mean it in an offensive way, but they take a lick and play it for 4 to 8 measures, then another, and play it over and over, then another..... very sparse amount of actual soloing, different time though....
she loves metal and shes rockin it with southern rock ...lovin Lex more and more everyday ...you go girl !!!!
Tuesday's Gone is another one of Lynyrd Skynyrd's many great track's.
Just when you think they've reached the peak of the song, they level up or throw a wrinkle into it. This song never gets old no matter how many times you hear it.
Confession here: You two are my favorite reaction couple. Brad, look at Lex, that is the definition of a "keeper". What a doll, what a personality, what a mind! Yeah, hang on to her. Lex, Look at Brad, there is a based man, he is a keeper. I could easily be friends with him. He is "real", he is a good guy. The funny thing is that when you take a good man and a good woman the result is far more than the sum of the parts, that is where the magic is. I have seen some of your videos about your trials in life, and I wish only the best for you two. There is a big difference between wishes and reality. You have my wishes, I am confident you will make a reality that exceeds my wishes, more power to you.
I tear up to Freebird, Simpleman, Tuesdays Gone, I Need You. That’s just Skynyrd’s songs that does that to me. There’s several other bands that has songs that hits my heart and gives me chills!
Like Bob Seger.
What about "Down South Jukin" or "Things Goin' On
@@jerryspann8713 Yes. “Turn the Page” is my favorite. There are so many other good songs 🎶 too! 💖
The secret behind that solo is that it isnt a solo. ITS A DUEL!
In the live recordings yes, but the studio version its all Allen Collins overdubbing himself on the solo, Gary Rossington played rhythm
The song is basically a musical rendition of an orgasm.
That three guitar army was unbelievable ❤️
I always compared this solo with hotel California and Don Felder and Joe Walsh playing off each other
yep between 3 kick ass guitar players
I love watching lex during a guitar solo, she cracks me up with her reactions and facial expression.
But, lol. I am 59 years old and have heard this song a million times and never realized that there were two lead guitarist playing different rhythms at the same time and one fading in as the other fades out. Learn something new everyday.
👍😎👍
The live version in the Oakland Coliseum from 1977 is crazy good.....
Audio is always most important, but once you add visuals, takes it to a whole other level, couldn't agree more on that performance.
Yeah,y'all need to watch this at the coliseum,even if it's on your own,because you get to see them perform it.the crowd waited all day to hear this one song.its EPIC!!!
It's the ONLY version I will watch now.
Absolutely! Best audience reaction ever! You beat me to it 😊
For sure, the BEST guitar jam session EVER.....
I love how Lex feels the music, she brings a smile to my face every time. Brad is more analytical, you guys compliment each other perfectly
It's the greatest feeling to watch Lex react because it takes me back to buying the album and sitting in my room with the sound turned up. That same feeling! Thank you, Lex and Brad.
Today makes 8 years since I lost my daughter, and this reaction brought me a smile I didn’t think was possible. I knew I could count on you guys.
Hope you’re doing a little better, I’m so sorry for your loss
@@Echoes303 I have good and bad days, I guess I always will. Thanks so much for the well wishes, that’s so nice
Sorry to hear man God bless you that's hard to lose a child
Written by the late, greats Alan Collins (gtr) and Ronnie Van Zant (vocals). The best live version to view is from Knebworth, England 1976. The dueling solos are epic.
Anytime I am having an unhappy day I can listen to this song with you two and my day is brighter. I love you guys.
I don't think it would hurt anyone's feelings if you guys did the live concert version from Oakland. Getting the visual is a completely different experience. Lex will lose her mind.
Thinking the same thing! 👍 😊
I liked the live version from the One more from the road recorded at the Fox in Atlanta.
agree, just ignore the stars and bars flag behind them it was not their choice on that concert.
@@Mr59Kenzo It was also a different time
@@Mr59Kenzo Southern man don't need you around anyhow
Subscribed because of Lex's beautiful soul and childlike wonder at discovering something new she loves. God bless ya'll.
Watching her just smile for the entire song just made my day.
Another classic that will never fade away. I love watching lex's face, priceless
I have watched this reaction a few times now, because it is one of the best reactions (the best?) I have seen. It's fun watching y'all work together, and watching the music reach you, especially the long guitar outro where the music keeps revving up, changing gears as it picks up speed, and shifting to an even higher gear. This comment is months late, but y'all did a great job with this one.
That's the best solo ever made. Hands down. They combined, at least, 10 very fast riffs plus variations in one solo!
Lexs energy is so awesome...makes me smile everytime.
No matter how many reactions I see to this song- including in my own life when I play it for a newbie- its always so exciting knowing that speed change and solo is coming and that its going to blow the listener away. This was no exception- one of the best in fact!
Some people watch cat videos - The internet was actually invented so we could watch the Freebird drop lol
@@glenchapman3899 HAHA. i LOVE THAT COMMENT.
Some songs do something for you
This song was introduced to me by my brother in law who was a musician
He passed away and on my drive back from the hospital this came on 30 minutes before he left us
To this day the first verse brings a tear,
Power of music,I embrace it now x great reaction guys x
That reaction gets my Sub, TOTAL respect for the solos is a rare thing. Can't wait to get into your reactions guys
