Simple man is one of the greatest songs ever written. Not many songs give that euphoric high on the thousands of listen's later as if it was the first. So many bands cover this song and do fantastic jobs but the live version off One More From The Road album is faultless . Absolute classic
Sammy does not show his age, hard to believe he turned 75 this Oct.! Rock & roll has kept him alive & well, keep on rocking! Love this Skynyrd tune, will have this played at my son's wedding if he marries anytime soon.
Props to the Spanish speaking drummer to hop in on the fly like that. Unfamiliar songs for drummers are tough to play intros; once he got through a couple of measures he was rock solid with nice fills and flams with the less is more approach. I’m sticking with the theory there was no practicing for that song, that way I stay impressed. Sammy can sing and play guitar leads for anything! Great job as always
@@Brevo77 it sounded very good for throw together admit that at least. Next time you perform call musicians out of the audience randomly for a spontaneous song. Record the footage and send it to me, something to compare this too
In 3 days it will be 45 years since Ronnie died. We still remember. Just a few days ago the people of New Zealand voted Simple Man the greatest song of all time on Rock 2000 Thank you Sammy
Hitting its stride haha imagine thinking that fiends are respectable. they had one song everybody listened to other then that they'll be forgotten by the world of music when these old people die and take that trash with them..make room for newer talent
@@zaev670 According to spotify, Skynyrd had 15 mil plays this month. Van Halen 12 mil - Rush 4 mil - Petty 9mil. - 7 Skynyrd songs have over 50 million plays. Sweet Home Alabama over 1 billion - more than any Zepplin song or Beatles or Stones or Elvis song. Are you just trying to be funny?
I stood next to that stage New Years Eve 1999 and watched Sammy play. What a guy, the girl next to me wanted his guitar pick. He told her "lady I only have one pick" so I reached in my pocket and pulled out a handful of picks and held them out to Sammy. He took one, gave his to the chick by the stage and she was giggly and ran off. He played all night. After the show I have my back to the stage talking to some people and Sammy tapped me on my shoulder and said "hey man, here's your pick". So I stuffed it in my pocket will all the rest of the picks. I've never seen a more down to Earth guy on a stage.
Samuel Roy Hagar! I grew up listening to him and he is still one of my favorites! I also respect him as an awesome parent and great businessman! Plus God Bless ya Sammy for all the kids you help as well. I lost my daughter when she was 6 weeks old and premature back in April 2005. So when I say thank-you to this man ,It is because I know how much he does and never lets many know. He helps kids because he has a big big heart and makes sure where the money goes and makes sure it directly helps to save a bunch of kids and to me this is giving back and showing God and paying back like we all should do. He is humble and shows how thankful he is for his own family and helps others to be role models by his love for one and all so thankyou sir. " Luv ya Sammy,,You the man!
My one and only visit to Cabo was fun....I went to Cabo Wabo thinking to get some lunch. Walked in...grabbed a table...and 15 min later no one even bothered to help us. Got up and left....found a little hole in the wall restaurant and some of the best fish tacos ever. I still like Sammy and don't blame him for this. If I'm ever back ill try it again. Love me some Skynyrd!
I've been a fan since Montrose in 1974 at the swing in san Bernardino, Cali and you nailed it again Sammy you still got it bro don't ever loose it. Rock on
I’ll be honest, I was not a Hagar fan per say as a vocalist , pretty damn good musician, but after seeing him on the interview where he describes the details about how he uses his jet to deliver organs for people around the nation for the Red Cross thAT gave me the up most respect to him as a super human .
I am going to Cabo over Thanks Giving and I pray Sammy makes an appearance as you cant go to Cabo without going to Cabo Wabo period. Sammy ages like fine wine, dude is a legend and doesnt look a day over 55!
I have seen Sammy many times. First time solo at the memorial auditorium Sacramento Marching to mars tour right after VH Then many times in Tahoe one of the more memorable times was the last time with the reformed Montrose about a year before Ronnie died. Sammy is by far the true rock and roll performer He truly loves what he does Love you Sammy
I remember Shinedown playing this in 04' in Chicago. I was at the Cincinnati show in 04' too, by far the best show of that tour. There is boot of it on yt. 9-18-04
Stay active folks, dont get fat and you to can drink tequila and run around on stage whenever you want well into your 70s just like he does. Never stop living life and stay positive
Nope! Ronnie would have said WTF? Ronnie wouldn’t have liked seeing his gem butchered. Ronnie was a stickler for getting every little detail right. This doesn’t even remotely sound like the same song. Hell, Sammy didn’t know half the lyrics to the song! The lead guitar part, pathetic! And you praised this abortion? Ronnie was a proud man, he would have wanted his music properly represented and respected.
Good job on the Skynyrd simple man . the 20th of this month will be 45 that Ronnie , Cassie and Steve left us here to enjoy their talents without em. I believe Ronnie would appreciate you and other musicians that play his music anytime they want He left it here for us
Love the man . Too much tequila tho . Pulled a Dave and forgot the lyrics 🤪 LOL....Happy belated Bday to the man . Just saw John Cafferty and the BBB last night . 71 years old and hasn't missed a beat ... Rock on Eddie and the Cruisers .....
I really appreciate you being a great fan,it really mean alot to me .I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music and watching my videos 🎼hope to hear from you soon❤️.
Skynard is recording a new album now in Nashville, Sammy is cutting this song on that album, so most likely a little rehearsal for that, Dolly Parton will do freebird
Sammy came to the motor city and rocked it out, at pine knob put on a great show had an excellent time , Detroit, Michigan knows your a bad motor scooter
I loved DLR as the front man of VH BUT SH is the total package! Better voice and can play the guitar, plus he seems like the kind of guy if you bumped into him in a bar you could just sit and have a beer together no big star BS!!!!!!!!!!!
True to this day still can't drive 55. Saw you at Townsend University many years ago with Aldo Nova opening act. Loudest concert ever been to it was the best.
Now that we recently lost Gary Rossington, I stumble across this. Wtf? Sammy is always on point. Wow! I got nothing left to say, coming from the South.
Wolfie wants nothing to do with Van Halen he did that little tribute thing last month he wants his own life he said it several several times I don't think Wolfie and Sammy are on good terms and no way Alex will have Michael anywhere near the Van Halen camp so forget about that bud unless they do a tribute to Edward Van Halen which they can't get together on it and they could do it without David Lee Roth guys all drama but I don't think Wolfie and Sammy on on good terms Sammy made a mistake and really just said some bad things in his book and Sammy says I should have never done that got to leave the dirt at home the personal dirt that's for sure
You know I've seen Sammy live and I've seen him with Van Halen / Hagar but to see him at Cabo Wabo... Would definitely be a bucket list of mine.... And I'm not getting any younger 🎸😎👍
This is why this man is loved by millions.Just a true down to earth dude.Awesome again Sammy!
Amen to that.
So glad he was part of my life from the 70s until today..
Sammy Hagar is the best!!!
"Simple Man"
One of THE greatest songs EVER written and performed!!!❤
The hits they had those days it's incredible like the eagles absolutely incredible the hits great band what a great tribute for Sammy to do it
R.I.P. Ronnie Van Zant. Writer and singer of simple man.
An all time Favorite for me.
Shinedowns version is insane. Maybe even better. The guy turns it more heavy
@@meatball6930 shimedown butchered this song.
Simple man is one of the greatest songs ever written.
Not many songs give that euphoric high on the thousands of listen's later as if it was the first.
So many bands cover this song and do fantastic jobs but the live version off One More From The Road album is faultless .
Absolute classic
Yeah Ronnie sang that song from the gut.
Skynyrd never gets old their music will last forever
Sammy does not show his age, hard to believe he turned 75 this Oct.! Rock & roll has kept him alive & well, keep on rocking!
Love this Skynyrd tune, will have this played at my son's wedding if he marries anytime soon.
He's only five years younger than the ILLEGITIMATE and TREASONOUS Fool in the House and still running strong.
Props to the Spanish speaking drummer to hop in on the fly like that. Unfamiliar songs for drummers are tough to play intros; once he got through a couple of measures he was rock solid with nice fills and flams with the less is more approach.

He butchered the lyrics though. That big swig of tequila prolly didnt help any
@@tbeach3617 😂 have to admit the instruments were tight
Doesn't take muck to stumble through simple man
@@Brevo77 it sounded very good for throw together admit that at least. Next time you perform call musicians out of the audience randomly for a spontaneous song. Record the footage and send it to me, something to compare this too
@@josephdonnelly3169 He was good im just saying I seen musicians play this on the fly my whole life is all
In 3 days it will be 45 years since Ronnie died. We still remember. Just a few days ago the people of New Zealand voted Simple Man the greatest song of all time on Rock 2000 Thank you Sammy
a big loss for all people who love music, a band that was just hitting its stride..............rip l.s.
Hitting its stride haha imagine thinking that fiends are respectable. they had one song everybody listened to other then that they'll be forgotten by the world of music when these old people die and take that trash with them..make room for newer talent

none of the crap coming out now will still be played 50 years from now. go back to your basement@@zaev670
When I hear Sammy and somebody says Ronnie my mind goes to Ronnie Montrose. This comment took me a minute to get.
Music has no language barrier!!! LOVE IT!

The drummer did a excellent job👍👍🇺🇸
72 and loven this music as if I were 20
Got to love that he ended up with the whole band not just the drummer. Love this stuff!
I'm a Hugh Fan for 30+ years, I've seen Sammy live many times, 10-13-22 Happy B-Day Sammy!!
Hugh Hefner?
Huey Long?
Hugh Grant?
Huey phooey?
I never thought I'd hear Sammy Hagar performing a Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Good choice to cover.
My one and only visit to Cabo was fun....I went to Cabo Wabo thinking to get some lunch. Walked in...grabbed a table...and 15 min later no one even bothered to help us.

Same here, I went there hoping to see Sammy since it was around his birthday. Place was dead, we ended up leaving. This was in 1997 though
I lived in Marin county I would like to thank Sammy Hagar for all the great work and annual barbecue he did for the locals
I've been a fan since Montrose in 1974 at the swing in san Bernardino, Cali and you nailed it again Sammy you still got it bro don't ever loose it. Rock on
Here in St.Louis Sammy is our Rock God. But, no one can pull off this song like the late great RVZ. Ronnie was a musical genius.
Right on, from St. Louis
I’ll be honest, I was not a Hagar fan per say as a vocalist , pretty damn good musician, but after seeing him on the interview where he describes the details about how he uses his jet to deliver organs for people around the nation for the Red Cross thAT gave me the up most respect to him as a super human .

Love you Sammy
One of the best front men ever! Love ya Sammy!
Red Rocker free styling, enjoying himself. Yazz🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️
One of my favorite band..keep on rockin Sammy..God Bless...
I remember Shinedown playing this in 04' in Chicago.
I was at the Cincinnati show in 04' too, by far the best show of that tour.
There is boot of it on yt. 9-18-04
Stay active folks, dont get fat and you to can drink tequila and run around on stage whenever you want well into your 70s just like he does. Never stop living life and stay positive
Sammy Hagar is my favorite rock singer of all time. Love this performance.
I think the Drummer knows the song.. I jumped right in and worked it out.. Well played by the whole band. This is the kinda jams I love....
Ronnie would have been proud of the red rocker for doing this beautiful song🤗
Nope! Ronnie would have said WTF? Ronnie wouldn’t have liked seeing his gem butchered. Ronnie was a stickler for getting every little detail right.

@@virgildailey1970 you’re opinion Ronnie appreciated people doing his music met him several times in Gainesville, proud of his music 🎶
@@karentarr8930 .Hello Karen
How are you doing
Its nice meeting you here
Ronnie is smiling from heaven
@@SammyHagar1 ty Sammy you did a great job🤗
Good job on the Skynyrd simple man . the 20th of this month will be 45 that Ronnie , Cassie and Steve left us here to enjoy their talents without em. I believe Ronnie would appreciate you and other musicians that play his music anytime they want He left it here for us
Oh please, he stunk it up. Learn the damn lyrics if you are gonna play a song from one of the best bands ever. Sammy should be ashamed
One of most favorite songs!
It's hard to believe that I saw Sammy fronting Montrose, 46 years ago, at the Filmore West. The man is 7 years older than me and looks like he's 50!
Me too Van Halen and Journey opened for Montrose.
Love the man . Too much tequila tho . Pulled a Dave and forgot the lyrics 🤪 LOL....Happy belated Bday to the man . Just saw John Cafferty and the BBB last night . 71 years old and hasn't missed a beat ... Rock on Eddie and the Cruisers .....
I really needed this today. Many thanks, Sammy!
Love this about Sammy - just does this on the fly. Rock on

Skynard is recording a new album now in Nashville, Sammy is cutting this song on that album, so most likely a little rehearsal for that, Dolly Parton will do freebird
Was there. Bucket list check... dream come true. Viva Cabo Wabo cabrones!!
One of the best songs ever!
America's #1 Rock n Roller! He just loves to perform like no one else!!!
Sammy is an American and Mexican treasure ❤️😎
If you're gonna cover one of the greatest southern rock songs of the Era at least know the lyrics Sammy.Van sant deserves that much!
And you could know that it’s Van Zant so cut Sammy some slack
Sammy! Damn I wish I could have been there for this one... Or any of his birthday bashes for that matter!!!
All time Favorite song for me.
Thanks for posting 😎. How did you get tickets?!
Sammy came to the motor city and rocked it out, at pine knob put on a great show had an excellent time , Detroit, Michigan knows your a bad motor scooter
Yes, music is universal, no barriers.
Love what I just witnessed.
Sammy is always the V.O.A.

My man... ROCK STRAIGHT THE FUCK ON SAMMY!🤘
Awesome ⭐️🎶⭐️🎶⭐️🎸🎙⭐️⭐️🎶⭐️
Sammies the real deal Rock and Roller. He loves what he does. I worked for fellow who had that same light in him, goes by the name Chubby Checker.
Sammy up there looking like Doc from Back to the Future 😂
I loved DLR as the front man of VH BUT SH is the total package! Better voice and can play the guitar, plus he seems like the kind of guy if you bumped into him in a bar you could just sit and have a beer together no big star BS!!!!!!!!!!!
Still Rocken it Sammy!! Thanks brother. Hope to meet you one day...
This guy lived “ the Van Halen “ life !!!! What a dream 🎸
Hermoso!
No one does a better version than Shinedown but for a off tye cuff Sammy didn't wreck it too bad .Love ya Sammy !
Mr.Sammy is thoroughbred bad.
Awesome the Hagar is Awesome
Ur the best man!!!!
I heard in a interview with artimus pyle sammy hagar is going be singing simple man on artimus pyle new album
I wish he would sing Mississippi Kid
Look it up, Mikey performs with Skynyrd in Nashville. Circle and Skynyrd = rock goodness ✌🏼
Cool for the musicians to get to play with an ICON of rock and totally be made to be "part of" by said ICON of rock.
👍that's why he's still standing 🤘
Rock on Sammy happy 75 👍
True to this day still can't drive 55. Saw you at Townsend University many years ago with Aldo Nova opening act. Loudest concert ever been to it was the best.
Now that we recently lost Gary Rossington, I stumble across this. Wtf? Sammy is always on point. Wow! I got nothing left to say, coming from the South.
All I can say is WOW !!!
I was at the grand opening and several Birthday parties
Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd! ❤
Simple Awesome Sammy
Great performance
simply the best...
sammy is always a goodtime , sammy and his amigos
Oh, the illustrious “F” bombs will get you through most any situation, cannot live without it.
the red rocker never lets ya down!
I knew Sammy sucked but to have it confirmed by this video is comforting. killer drummer though!
Sammy is now 75 years old
Yes,only 4 years younger than Joe Biden.😂
It keeps me straight and on the chosen path. Thank you Sammy!
Sammy, give a listen to "Simple man" CDB
Come on Sammy, get Van Halen back in action! Wolfe can play lead guitar and you still
Got the chops!
Looks like a great gathering! Always admired his music!
Wolfie wants nothing to do with Van Halen he did that little tribute thing last month he wants his own life he said it several several times I don't think Wolfie and Sammy are on good terms and no way Alex will have Michael anywhere near the Van Halen camp so forget about that bud unless they do a tribute to Edward Van Halen which they can't get together on it and they could do it without David Lee Roth guys all drama but I don't think Wolfie and Sammy on on good terms Sammy made a mistake and really just said some bad things in his book and Sammy says I should have never done that got to leave the dirt at home the personal dirt that's for sure
Off the Cuff Sam 😆 clean Plain Simple
"Songs you almost know the words to..." LOL
You know I've seen Sammy live and I've seen him with Van Halen / Hagar but to see him at Cabo Wabo... Would definitely be a bucket list of mine.... And I'm not getting any younger 🎸😎👍
