Greatest guitar solo ever in my opinion, to think this was from 1973/4 when have you ever heard anything like it now or ever since. Still gives me goosebumps listening to it now 👍
I think it should be illegal to interrupt this song at any point, period. But because they're from Europe, and this is their first time hearing it, I'm willing to let it slide.
Welcome to the Free Bird world. Remember, the crowd knew what was coming. They were there for it. Skynyrd had made Free Bird their closing song. It is iconic. At music venues all over still today, someone in the crowd is apt to yell out, "Free Bird!".
I was there, Oakland California, July 2, 1977. I was 16 years old. We waited ALL DAY for this song. They were at the top of the Rock and Roll scene at that time. I am a grandma now, and I am sharing the Good Book of 70's Rock and Roll..and Skynyrd! RIP legends!!!
Billy Powell was a roadie for them for almost a year until they accidentally heard him play.They asked why he never told them he could play he said he only played classical & they'd make fun of him.
There are three lead guitarists and a bass player, piano, drums a lead singer and three backup vocalists. Steve Gains, Alan Collins, and Gary Rossington on guitar, Leon Wilkinson on bass, Billy Powell on piano, Artemis Pile on drums, Ronnie Van Zant on vocals and Leslie Hawkins, Jo Jo Billingsly, and Cassie Gains on background vocals.
The male reactor's ego would have taken a hit if he'd have said that there were 3 electric lead guitars after him being wrong about it what with him being in a band and everything. The woman sitting with him knew though I even sort've seen realisation on his face towords the end but he was never going to admit it. Thanks for all the names 👍
The tightness of the group is not an accident. Van Zant was a taskmaster and perfectionist who had the band rehearse for hours at a time. They could play this in their sleep.
I'm just so happy that at least two of the original band members Gary Rossington (using slide on guitar) and Artimus Pyle (drums) are still with us to see the epic song this turned out to be. This is the best live performance you will ever see. Forever Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The song is a tribute to Duane Allman. who played guitar for the Allman Brothers Band and Derek and the Dominoes. He was known for making his guitar sound like birds chirping, which you hear in the introduction before the singing started and right before Billy Powell's piano solo. Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971.
When you break it down and really think about the meaning, this is very well-constructed piece of music, far beyond just being a banger. The sadness of having to leave someone, transistioning to the joy and energy of unbounded freedom (expressed instrumentally). The musicians literally become "free birds", zooming, soaring, exploring the limitless skies.
Awwww - This song is a time machine for me! Released in 1973 … I was a Sophomore in High School. All the guys had this song blasting on their 8 tracks jacked up Dodges or Mustangs!! OMG - So much fun!! IMO one of the best guitar solos ever!!! 🎸🎸🦅🦅
ME TOO DEBRA!!!!! I'M 65 NOW & STILL LOVE SWEET HOME ALABAMA MY #2 JUST BEHIND GUESS WHO? IT'S GOT TO BE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN BY LED ZEPPELIN. RIGHT? BTW FREE BIRD COMES IN AT #3 FOR ME!!!!!!
@@mikebeasley9793 LOL .. I’m 64, graduated High School in 1976. Love Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, & Van Halen! Did see KISS twice in ‘77 at the Fabulous Forum with Cheap Trick & Peter Frampton. Then again at Anaheim Stadium with Ted Nugent & Bob Seger! My favorite band is Queen but never got to see them live when they toured the U.S. back in the early ‘70s. Shucks!!
@@debramoore7513 I GRADUATED IN 1975 WHEN I WITNESSED MAYBE MY FAVORITE CONCERT EVER WITH BOB SEGER FOLLOWED BY STYX & BTO CLOSING THE SHOW. WOW WHAT A WONDERFUL NIGHT. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy was a roadey for the band but he was also a concert pianest when they were writeing the song he sat down and said i would play it like this and then that is when he played what u heard at the beginning of the song
RIP: Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines U R Missed 💔🔥🤘🏼🎸 This is Southern-Rock at it's best. I'd like to suggest another band "Three Dog Night - Mama Told Me Not To Come (1970) Live" we will never hear music like this again. For me it's wonderful to see this generation expanding their musical experience, and this in turn keeps great music alive 🎶🤗 I can only imagine how excited these musicians would be seeing future generations still jamming out to their music. ✌🏼🙏🎧💎🎶❤️
The song's plot: a fellow is saying goodbye to his girlfriend in as gentle a way as possible (the slow first half almost lulls you to sleep). Until ... he actually heads out the door and travels by rocket (the "intense" second half)! Listen closely in the 2nd half as the piano holds its own to the very end. Oh, and the bass player (the guitar with only 4 tuning keys at the top of the neck) just about breaks his fingers in that very late set of runs when he's focused on by the camera. This performance was very near the end of the band's existence (plane crash 3 months later) and they had already played "Free Bird" hundreds and hundreds of times, so the guy's hair in his face presented no problem at all.
Simple man is One of My Favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. I Post that song every Year to my Son on his Birthday. That should be your next one. It has a special meaning from a Mother to her Son.
This was actually recorded only a few months before the terrible plane crash in Mississippi. They were at their peak and Steve Gaines had just joined the band and began to push them even higher. Such a tragedy. And the song is about a relationship breakup. The opening line was asked by Allen Collins's girlfriend during a fight (they stayed together and got married - she tragically died from a hemorrhage during childbirth and devastated him). There were actually 3 fantastic guitarists in the band - Gary Rossington (slide during 1st half), Allen Collins (long hair screaming lead), and Steve Gaines (short beard, matching Collins during sections of lead). Each was HIGHLY talented and played lead on different songs or threw back and forth to each other. There was another lead guitarist in early Skynyrd - Ed King - who actually wrote the Sweet Home Alabama riff. If you want to see them all on full display each with their own style and trading leads on the same song, you gotta check out "T for Texas" - they are FANTASTIC together.
No matter how many times or years I hear this song, I still feel the urge to jump when the tempo change happens. It just infuse me with so much energy.
Great reaction guys I realize you are from Europe but here is something to ponder all those young people going crazy are most likely your Grandparents age right now Imagine your Grandparents attending this concert
Billy Powell was a classically trained pianist who was only a roadie until he showed Ronnie how he would play Freebird if it was him. Ronnie was shocked and immediately put him in the band. The rest is history. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You will find that in the Southern Rock genre many bands have 3 guitarists, or have that option with a keyboard player or percussionist that can also play guitar. I have performed Skynyrd music in clubs for 40 years, it takes a special group of folks to make it sound right. Some many little things that most people over look.
You mentioned the classical/rock sound from the piano. Billy Powell, the piano player was a trained classical piano player as a youngster. He's one of the best.
@markhowell6601 I visited the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where LS first started recording in their classic lineup. Saw the piano that Billy Powell played and learned so much about the band. The studio engineers were stunned at their talent and said "This Band is going to be HUGE." They were right.
The members of the band are Ronnie Van Zant- vocals Gary Rossington- guitar Allan Collins- guitar Steve Gaines- guitars Billy Powell- piano Leon Wilkeson- bass guitar Artimus Pyle- drums
Thank you, for the mention of Leon, and Artimus! I too, get caught, (and respect) the leads, but bass and drums are W.O.R.T.H.Y! I come to this music for the chills, a couple times a week❤️
You guys should do the Kenebosh England version from 76. They opened for the stones and blew them out. And they were told don't go on the tongue! They did and were fired after the 3erd stop...T for Texas too from that show.
One of The Best Songs in American Rock Music... Still loved today !!! Free Bird Never dissapoints... Great band. Sadly, All Original Members have passed on. It's wonderful to have their musical legacy though !!
I don’t remember how many times I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert. I do have a vivid memory of my girlfriend sitting on my shoulders during this particular tour at the Atlanta Fulton county, Stadium. Along with stairway to heaven, it was an anthem for my generation.
This is one of the absolute greatest manifestation songs of freedom and democracy ever imo. Done by a awesome band. We in europe have had our share of these bands but i gotta say i havent heard anything like this from USA. Nonpolitical however very political if you are a democrate and freedom loving. Not sure modern socalled democrates in USA agree though because they are insane apparently :). Big hug from Sweden and this made me sub :)
The footage you’re viewing was filmed just months prior before the tragic plane crash that claimed Ronnie Van Zant, the lead singer, Steve Gaines, one of the three guitar players (the guy playing the black Les Paul Custom) and backing vocalist (and Steve’s sister), Cassie Gaines.
I started laughing at the beginning when you said this is a slow song. I said well they truly never heard this song..they don't know what's about to hit them. there plane crashed not long after this song.about 2 miles from my house. Two of the guitar players playing dueling lead playing the same notes very hard to do. Hair in the face LoL sweet he is completely skilled and well seasoned. They practiced at a little shed they called hell house because it can get to 115 degrees plus oppressive humidity. Payed his dues. Lord knows I payed mine.
As the band named Lynyrd Skynyrd they were together from 1973 until their plane crash in 1977. Check out the original album cover from "Street Survivors" that was released just days before the death of three members in the crash. The brown curly haired lead guitarist was killed and on the album cover he is covered by flames. Totally ironic and crazy.
When most the band died on a plane crash they dedicated this song to Ronnie Van zant the lead singer but when it was first made it was considered a love song
Yes, not the better recording of the two available (Knebworth is the other). The band's video production unit focused on b-roll of the crowd for a later documentary. Knebworth shows the band much better.They got a lot out of a simple, easy-to-play riff, and it lifts the spirit even today. At Knebworth they opened for the Stones....and simply blew them away.
One of my favorites from the day. The song is almost prophetic when the singer starts singing because he died a couple months later in a plane crash and one of the guitarist and one of the backup singers.
cool reaction, I also suggest Skynyrd's live version of "Tuesday's Gone" in Winterland 1976 or 1977, don't remember. These 3 lead guitars & bass has to be the most talented foursome ever assembled. Collins and Rossington themselves would be leads in any band of the time, and Steve Gaines was just an absolutely incredibly talented musician besides being a great lead guitarist. And then Leon Wilkeson on bass, one of the best & my fav bass guitarists of the era.
It was a thing to let the ladies up front at theses shows so thay could see better! We would hang back to watch and make sure there was no one trying to take advantage of the situation,! Lots of men there eather the ladies were on their shoulders or back of house! It was camera angles that only got front of house shots!🇺🇸❤🇺🇸! But there was a lot of ladies at this show! Said you could smell the perfume over a mile away.😅
Would you, as a musician, like to watch what is considered the tightest 3-piece band performance ever? Watch Inside Looking Out by Grand Funk Railroad. It is amazing!
This song was written by the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant it came from a conversation one of the band members girlfriend asked them she asked if I leave here tomorrow will you still remember me. This song is about a couple breaking up . The band consists of lead singer Ronnie 3 guitarists Steve , Gary and Alan the bass player is Leon the drummer atriums and the piano player Billy this was recorded not too long before the play crash that took the life’s or Ronnie Van Zant, Stevie Gaines back up singer Cassie Gaines and road manager Dean Kilpatrick on October 20, 1977
On October 20, 1977, a Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi, United States. Chartered by the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from L & J Company of Addison, Texas, it was flying from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, crashing near its destination. Lynyrd Skynyrd 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 John Gray all died as a result of the crash, while twenty others survived.
we will, and ironic u said that, we play that song in my band, actually we played a band gig today and played that song :D love it but Celika don't know it
@@CelcaReactThe slide guitarist Gary Rossington was moving out of his mom's home at age 17. Gary and Ronnie Van Zant wrote Simple Man as they talked about the advice their moms gave them about life. Gary would say, "Well my momma said!" And Ronnie would respond, "But my momma said.." They went back and forth and created this heartfelt song. It's amazing that it's stood the test of time and so beloved ❤️
Another Jacksonville, FL area blues/rock band you might enjoy are JJ Grey and Mofro. Powerful, almost shocking, vocals, brilliant guitar solos and soooo much soul and energy!! Lochloosa abd The Sun is Shining Down are my favorites songs!

You obviously Not good! Live version, 3 chords? Dude just watch, no talk!😡
Epic rock anthem, when you're at a festival that has bands to this day you will hear us older people yell FREEBIRD!
I was on my way to school when I heard on the radio that most of them had died on a plane crash. I had to pull over to cry for them.
Freebird - A Banger that stands the test of time. It’s on every Jukebox within walking distance of every overseas US Air Base.

Best band hands down. Music everyone can relate to.
The tightness of the group is not an accident. Van Zant was a taskmaster and perfectionist who had the band rehearse for hours at a time. They could play this in their sleep.

The guitar technique is called slide guitar. It comes from the blues when they used a bottle neck as the slide.

4 guitars, 1 bass 1 drums, 10 members. A 3 guitars are playing with the bass... July 1977.

this still today is considered the best Rock performance ever by thos in the industry but the song was never a #1 hit
You see , This might be this guy's song, And this might be that guy's song!
There are 3 playing and the base, look between the two playing and you can see the top of the guitar and he was the one making the bird sounds
This song was written by the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant it came from a conversation one of the band members girlfriend asked them she asked if I leave here tomorrow will you still remember me. This song is about a couple breaking up . The band consists of lead singer Ronnie 3 guitarists Steve , Gary and Alan the bass player is Leon the drummer atriums and the piano player Billy this was recorded not too long before the play crash that took the life’s or Ronnie Van Zant, Stevie Gaines back up singer Cassie Gaines and road manager Dean Kilpatrick on October 20, 1977

The ultimate brake-up song.
Kenworth fair in 76. Free bird. Blew the stones off the tongue. You'll get it when you watch
Knebworth
My days, I graduated from High School in 1977
On October 20, 1977, a Convair CV-240 passenger aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed in a wooded area near Gillsburg, Mississippi, United States. Chartered by the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from L & J Company of Addison, Texas, it was flying from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, crashing near its destination. Lynyrd Skynyrd 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 John Gray all died as a result of the crash, while twenty others survived.

@@CelcaReactThe slide guitarist Gary Rossington was moving out of his mom's home at age 17. Gary and Ronnie Van Zant wrote Simple Man as they talked about the advice their moms gave them about life. Gary would say, "Well my momma said!" And Ronnie would respond, "But my momma said.."
They went back and forth and created this heartfelt song.
It's amazing that it's stood the test of time and so beloved ❤️
1977 at the Oakland Coluseum in Oakland, California, USA.

Mr. Musician:
Tell her the bass has 4 strings/ tuning keys.
The lead and rhythm guitars have six, or twelve.
That’s what a musician would tell her.
has anyone noticed Ronny Van Zandt ironically wearing Neil Young T-Shirt :)
Damn we are old
Dude ! You *NEVER* stop Free Bird after the 18;00 Mark. -----------> *_NEVER !_*
Two words! Hot grandma's! 😇🙏❤️🇺🇲
This is why they have 3 guitars!
Another Jacksonville, FL area blues/rock band you might enjoy are JJ Grey and Mofro. Powerful, almost shocking, vocals, brilliant guitar solos and soooo much soul and energy!! Lochloosa abd The Sun is Shining Down are my favorites songs!
GARY DOES THE BIRDS AND AL SLIDESTUFF
It's a Southern anthem not just a song
Welcome. You have been enlightened. Not another band like them.
Women loved rock back then.......
I loved when he said, "Instead of just guitar all the time."..Uh..I think he spoke a bit too soon..Whadda you think?!
