When I listen to Freebird, so do my neighbors. 🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸🤟🇺🇸
Great line. Our nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away and so do they!
Hell Yeah!
YES!!!!!
How nice of you to share your music with the whole neighborhood. 😁
lolol my neighbors 2 .......
I am in that crowd somewhere, I went with my sister, I was 14 she was 16. I know we were in the middle of that crowd... could not see anything but boy could we hear it... what a show they put on that day... Thanks for bringing this memory back to me Drama! Stay safe & stay strong 💜💜
I was there, too. My first concert, for my 16th birthday. So awesome.
Played this at my husband funeral 10 years ago. Was his all time favorite song. He went out free 💜💜
Dude, just think. Everyone there is now GRANDPARENTS. Now who's the coolest generation?
I had a two year old when this concert took place.
Seen them with Ronnie and his Brother Johnny and I love them both
Yeah, and I'm a fn' cool old granny!!! This pic of me was just taken last month I think.
We know...
This is why anytime a band asks for requests someone always yells out Freebird. It is the greatest .
I believe it is the best ever!!!
What song is it you want to hear.free bird.three blind mice.free bird.three blind mice.and yell as loud as I can with others chime in until the band is laughing so hard that their on the stage floor
Their is always one guy yelling three blind mice
When you see this crowd and know that your grandparents were way coooooler than you'll ever be
Nice to see someone acknowledge the guy on bass. He worked his damn ass off.
Love your appreciation of the art.
Carry on......💌
The guy on the bass was Leon Wilkeson
The audience got their money's worth with just that one song .
Tickets were probably less than 20 bucks,I saw they're last concert in Greenville SC and I paid 15 for my ticket.
These Summer shows were priced around $11.00 dollars. I went to 9-10 of these shows. There would be about 5 bands over an 8 hour span. Skynyrd was opening for Peter Frampton. The shows were called ‘Day on the Green.’ Usually there would be about 60,000 people there.
When you realize the live version should be the official track instead.
Wasn't enough room on Vinyl unfortunately
Very few bands sound the same as the album , Skynyrd did and Bob Seger did as well. Styx and Jethro Tull also were great live, ZZ Top is another, but you can't expect the studio cut on every song, alot of these were damn close
This was almost FIFTY years ago!!
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore!
I was a young teen then, & it was Rock & Roll heaven back in the 70’s!
And dontcha love the way the crowd was so into the music? Nobody filming, no cameras, no cell phones and everyone just in one harmony with each other?
I agree 100% . They left their heart and soul on that stage after that song.
Yeah, the guitar players were always incredible, but I would suggest that their secret weapon was Billy Powell. His piano playing really helped define the sound of the band. Also, if you listen very closely you'll fine that Leon Wilkeson played some ridiculously cool bass lines.
And Billy Powell was just a roadie he suggested the piano intro the band liked it made him a member and the rest is history.
*"Apparently Billy had Classical Piano training....and never told anyone...
..........Well, They found out>♡¡!"*
I was 15 and was in the second level left field at that show, one of the greatest concerts I have seen. Another must watch song from that show is, "The Breeze". Every time I see this video My eyes get wet, remembering this show and how epic it was, and the tragedy soon after.
The rest of that show was opened by Peter Frampton and then The Outlaws. A few days later at the same stadium was Santana. Later in July the 23 was another epic concert; Rick Derringer, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest and Derringer. What a great month for a 15 year old!
Holy shit ya
One of the greatest live performances of all time.
It was epic! They KILLED! They killed nightly and left it all onstage!
I won't argue with you -- Skynyrd was amazing and the trio of Allen Collins (a seriously underrated guitarist IMO), Gary Rossington and Steve Gaines on guitars is just mind blowing. Artemis Pyle is tearing it up on the drums for the entire song, Leon Wilkeson is doing amazing work on the bass, Ronnie was smooth as always on vocals and Billy Powell powerful on the piano.
Met Artemis Pyle in a little music shop in Asheville, NC years ago. Great, friendly guy.
Loved your reaction 💕💕💕 I don’t mind being older now because I was lucky enough to be a teenager then! 3 months after this concert was the plane crash 😢Did you notice no cellphones and the girls weren’t covered in tattoos? It was another world back then. Thank You so much for doing this one.
Not just that, but look how healthy everybody looked back then! Nobody is 400lbs! Since this time, the sugar industry added sugar into EVERYTHING we eat, and the soda industry got vending machines into schools and universities. The fast food industry also sponsors nutritional books for schools that suggest that a burger is healthy because of the lettuce and tomato, lol.
Yeah , that's exactly right , me too . We must be about the same age . I'd love to be young again but I wouldn't trade my generation for nothing ...
Nothing better than great southern rock ❣️✌️🇦🇺
Latinos for FREE BYRD!!!! South Florida shout out my brother we love your show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best songs to be played live in rock history!
I went to their last concert in Greenville SC with a guy who didn't really want to be there. He insisted that we leave before their last encore which was Freebird. I insisted that we stop & listen to it through the back wall of the building. They tore it up. The building was actually vibrating. It was devastating to learn about the crash the next day. I've never quite forgiven him for making me miss seeing them do this song that night even though we've been married for over 30 years now. Thanks for doing this one.
Wow. That's true love!
I saw them front row center
I have a friend who couldn't go because of a medical emergency, he still has the two tickets - which he loves to show EVERYONE lol
I will guess that he has kept you VERY happy for those 30 years. He did owe you.
This one is tremendous and my favorite but just for fun If you’re looking for a tremendous live performance from Lynyrd Skynyrd you are missing what is rated as the 3rd best live performance in history.
It is the “Freebird” performance in England at the Knebworth music festival. The back story may be more important than the performance itself. Look it up for much more detail but here is an extremely shortened version if you don’t have time.
Skynyrd was called to play the Knebworth festival in England as many bands were. The Rolling Stones were the headliners. Skynyrd locked themselves away for weeks tightening up and planning their “try to follow that one” performance. The stage was set up like the Stones logo. A mouth with a tongue that went out into the crowd. Mick Jagger forbid anyone from performing on the tongue because that was for him and him only. The crowd is sleeping and not paying attention when Skynyrd comes on stage. They break into their last song of the set “Freebird” and by the time its over the whole crowd is up and clapping and dancing and jamming! Talking about waking people up! OH and yes they performed most of the song right down there on the tip of the tongue! LOL Who cares what Mick said!
great performance…even better knowing the story behind what was going on.
sorry for the long post I shortened it a lot
I was just getting ready to tell him about this one. The guitarist in white is wearing red.
I got goosebumps when the afterburners kicked in on this song!!! Love it!!! I totally agree...its one of the best live concerts ever witnessed!!!
They're gods, literally. Music at its highest expression.
This is, without a doubt the best reaction I have ever seen to this song. I appreciate your appreciation for this band. I am from Georgia, and grew up listening to these guys and just absolutely they are the pride of the south.. And like you said they had such a tragic history. Thank you for such a heartfelt great reaction.
My fav band of all time & probably one of the most underrated ever! The most underrated musical/songwriting genius in Ronnie, the most underrated guitarist in Allen Collins (in white) who wrote this music when he was only 16-17 years old (he wrote the chord progression for this song & took 2 years to get the solo where he wanted it). The opening lyrics came courtesy of a fight Allen & his then girlfriend, Kathy (later his wife, who also tragically passed after hemorrhaging during the miscarriage of their third child) had, who turned to him & said "if I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" . Ronnie initially didn't want to write the song saying that there were too many chord changes. Of course, he eventually changed his mind after hearing Allen play it one day, yet again lol...told him to keep playing the chords over & over & wrote the lyrics in about 5 minutes. Imo, every single band member from Artemis on drums, Billy on piano, Leon on bass, Gary on slide guitar in this song & Stevie on backup lead to Allen were all extremely underrated! Any questions, I can probably answer. Just a FYI...in exactly 10 days @ 6:52pm it will be 43 years since the plane crash that killed Ronnie, Stevie, his sister & backup singer (Honkette) Cassie & the band's asst road manager Dean Kilpatric along with the 2 pilots who were solely responsible for the crash. A day I'll never, ever forget as it still weighs as heavy on me now as it did then. 😭
No way on gods green earth is this band or anyone in this line up underrated, my only guess would be is you were not around in their heyday. I was 19 in 1977 and every bar band tried to copy Lynyrd skynyrd. You need to look up the word underrated and understand what it means..
I still get chills when those guitars come in like a hurricane.
From a person whose all time favorite band is Lynyrd Skynyrd, this is the finest live performance I've ever witnessed. Thank you so much for this treat. You are my main source for Classic Rock-n-Roll reactions. You're a no nonsense, no BS reactor to music videos.
"Call Me The Breeze" &
"Simple Man",
thank you kindly.
😊✌
Seein it here is one thing, but Imagine bein a part of That Vibe Tribe in the Crowd 🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🎸🥁🎵🎸🥁🎧🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I was 29 years old, out of the Marines already nearly 7 years. This music and other music like it were my interest already since the '60's. But it still wows me, definitely. Blows my mind. And keeps me young. Whenever I'm down I go back to it. Thank you for your reaction.
3 months later that Damm plane crash this is a great vedio to always remember them by GREAT BAND.The music never grows old.My twin boys were born 4 days later.
I was 16 then!! Takes me back!!
And now we’re both 59..........👍
More Lynyrd Skynyrd please"Tuesdays gone","the breeze","I know a little","comin home","on the hunt","things goin on","I need you","Mr banker","you got that right","sweet home Alabama","what's your name","Saturday night special","gimme back my bullets","gimme three steps" . I agree 💯 percent fantastic mind blowing performance. Fly high freebirds 🙏 RIP
Like to see Mississippi Kid done live, ain't looking for no trouble but nobody dogs me round.
RIP those on stage that perished in that terrible plane crash.
Absolutely
I cried my heart out! I had just got Street Survivors with the original design with the flames and the band super-in possed on top of the flames and just cried.
Throughout the 70s and most of the 80s live was always so much better. Bands jammed their hearts out. ❤️
I saw their show on the 1977 tour in Columbus, Ga.. I was stationed at Ft. Benning near the Ga./ Ala border. When they launched into Sweet Home Alabama the place exploded. What a fantastic high energy show they put on!!
This version has the best crowd reaction and nicer piano while the Knebworth version kicked more ass with Allen Collins absolutely going off even more than this!
The Rolling Stones took hours to follow them. Who can blame them ?
Knebworth concert footage features the group quite a bit more, especially the guitars!
Sam Mack - They had the wrong band as the headliner.
Yes I totally agree. The Knebworth concert, in my opinion, is the better version. But I enjoy both.
I loved watching your face!! It's great to see young people today being able to appreciate this music. I was one of those women in the audience wearing a halter top, seeing it live. In my 60s now and I remember it all like it was just last week.
All those hours playing in the “hell house,” and look what you get-absolute perfection. The skill level of each band member is fuckin stunning. And a plane running out of fuel took this away from all of us.
Now your speaking my language. Thank you once again hit the nail on the head I still love the music from the 70's
Agreed - it was the greatest live performance ever. Back then, it was all about the music.
Greatest song too. Free Bird is a great classic.
So glad a new generation is discovering what we grew up on and have missed all these years.
...and 47 years later Free Bird is still the guitar anthem gold standard.
More please.
You got it
Absolute magnificent performance. Monumental.
The pride of Jacksonville Florida! Their music will live on........ 🎶
back when music was still music yes please
Thanks man!! One of my favorite performances!! Those guitars!!! 🎸🔥😳😳😂. Love it!!
Southern Rock: Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels to start.
Allman Brothers live are amazing
Don't forget the Eagles!
ABB the best!
I wonder how many Grandmothers tell their Grandchildren, "I was there. See, that's me in the front row, or on someone's shoulders."
Meeeeee
I watch something like this and I thank God for letting me be a teenager in the 70s. We were truly blessed even if we didn't know it at the time.
A classic. The guitar solos are through the roof. Freebird!!! 🎸 Billy and Leon are the glue that holds Skynyrd together. Ronnie is calm, cool, and collected, and has an amazing stage presence.
This song has been played to me since birth, lol.. my aunt & uncle have been to 40 of their concerts, lol. Love the live of this song!
That was one hell of jam! Damn, I was 14 during this concert! I remember buying my first Lynyrd Skynyrd album at licorice pizza with my paper route money. Thanks for sharing that....
I love Free Bird!!! I could listen to this performance of it constantly and never tire. But Lynyrd Skynyrd has so many great songs, that I have to listen to them also!! But, this performance of Free Bird and the one from Knebworth are probably the best
Best live performance ever!!! AMEN .
I was there, 18 years old, and it was awesome and it has stuck with me as my standard of guitar solos and energy!!! To this day, nothing competes. It still gives me chills, thrills and very tired and sore feet and mouth full of smile!!! Billy Graham Presents did "Day's on the Green" concerts and they had great line ups, usually 4-5 great bands and sold out the place numerous times per, summer per year. Day on the Green concert video rabbit hole. Here you go they do! Ted Nugent, Santana, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC etc. ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=day+on+the+green+concerts+1970's
I’m in the crowd right by the stage. Day on the Green, Oakland 1977! ❤️
I grew. Up on Skynyrd and they were always awesome. Live at the Fox is also one of the best.
Leon Wilkeson was their kick ass bass player, who not only blew doors like a BOSS...but if you listen closely to the opening bars of SIMPLE MAN, you will be shocked at how beautifully melodic and nuanced his bass lines could be. Yea...Leon Wilkeson, like all the rest of Skynyrd...was a top shelf musician and is sorely missed. R.I.P. Leon and all of the other FREEBIRDS from Skynyrd.
That was a truly unforgettable concert! And look at all those pretty girls immersed in that magic moment, then going absolutely nuts when the transition gave them a spine tingling rush! I absolutely love this video!!🥰😎✌️👍👍👍
I worked as a stagehand in Detroit for a long time and have seen more live concerts that I can remember but I agree with you 100%. Best live performance Ever !
Hands Down! The greatest reaction to Lynryrd Skynyrds, "Free Bird"
I agree wholeheartedly!
Another classic ; "All I Can Do Is Write About It" ( with lyrics)
That is why I enjoy you're reactions- very honest, and heartfelt- keep it up!!
Memories 😌🤗😌 Such talent! I totally agree, they owned the stage.
With what is politically correct and accepted today, it does my old heart good to see someone put the news away for just a minute and witness some greatness without prejudice, hats off to you!!
If you want to see much more of the band, with less audience camera time, try their live show in England. I forget the name of the town, but it is a wild tutorial of incredible guitar playing. Funny story: Lynard Skynyrd was opening for the Rollong Stones. The Stones had insisted that no opening act use their specially built "tounge" part of the stage. Ronnie literally ushers his guitarist right onto that tounge stage as a fu to the Stones.
You don’t tell Ronnie not to do something. Lol
After their gig on stage no one wanted to follow them that night. The next band 10CC did not play because of “tech”issues. The Stones were 30 minutes late hitting the stage.
ruclips.net/video/fuZyMx2NXZM/видео.html
Graduation class of 1980 adopted theme song and I’m sure many other Senior Grads . Free Bird!!!
Between this song and Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven it has been the most requested songs for over 40 years
Was lucky to see them with Ronnie Vanzant once but have seen them 6 times in total.
Worked one of there shows I ran track light.
My opinion when we lost Ronnie was when Southern Rock started coming to a end.
You reacted to Blackfoot there guitar player Bill Medlock now plays for Skynard and that's who I followed with The track light awesome band great performers.
I would recommend anyone to see them.
Great Reaction as always SYDE Stay Safe 😀😀
Saw them twice, once with Ronnie in Fresno. CA, just a few months before the crash, don't remember the concert day but it had to be within a week or so of this, it being in Oakland. I remember the crash date, it's my birthday. 10-20-77 I woke up to my 20 th birthday and the news they had crashed. Not a good day but the concerts were great. I thought it was the same with Johnny. To me they sound the same or as close as it could get and just like in 77, when they were done, so were you. . Greg Allman was the headliner on the 2nd one, big mistake. Music was great, but everyone was spent, people were walking out on him. DONT EVER FOLLOW SKYNYRD, at least not the 2 times I saw them. Be 43 years on the 20th RIP RONNIE..
This song was requested much more than Stairway. Not close. I remember hearing DJ's in Toronto talking about how every weekend the request for Freebird just get overwhelming and they had to ask people to stop calling in for it.
Southern Rock rabbit hole.....I like it. This band right here.....they’ve got a catalog of hits, Freebird is their signature song.
These guys are about to turn it up like none other, LIVE. This level of talent is worth the time for sure. Enjoy! 🎼🎶🎸🎵🎵🎹🎤🔥😎
Love this video as we can see actual talent, no click tracks,no auto tune....no no- talent.
Love the reactions, so much live music out there to enjoy, keep going......have fun discovering the music.😄
That was great you couldn't get enough of Allen Steve and Leon. Sad, all but two up there are gone. And they can't get along. I don't get in the " so and so is the best guitarist in the band" they all, with Ed King, had bad ass skills, and made the sound. R.I.P. Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Allen and his wife, Billy, Ed, Leon, and all the crew that have gone.
YAY! My all time favorite song. I love music of all kinds and it is so hard to choose a favorite, but I would have to say this is it. I listened to this song every day for the four years I went through High School. I would sit to do my homework and put this on and it was the only way I could get it done. LOL. So many wonderful memories from this song.
Also you should watch the concert from Knebworth, England 1976. You don't have to react to it but you see more of the solo on Freebird
That is what talent and passion can do for a preformance. Thank you for this video.
He became a Freebird in a matter of months after this and yes nearly 50 years later we still remember him!
You have given the most accurate review I have ever heard here on RUclips. Simply the greatest performance, by the greatest American Rock N Roll band ever.
I was at this concert. It was during the “Day on the Green” concert series. Four to five bands would play on one day.
Needless to say, Lynyrd Skynyrd took the day!!
#Oaktown! great reaction and legendary guitar solo. Unfortunetly 3 months after this tragedy struck. RIP Another song Skynyrd: That Smell
I was at Lampe Missouri at the Ozark Amphitheater 1994 the first time Johnny sang this song , he said it was always Ronnie’s song .
It was a beautiful night in the Ozark smelling the smoke from the guitar and the Ozark Sweet Bud in the air
im 20 and this type of music and this era is my favorite tbh.. i still love modern rap and shit tho. my dad taught me well not gonna lie
This is why your my favorite. You know great music and when to let the music speak for itself... Music transcends race and culture... Your the best my brother!!!!!
Brother I know I already committed, but I can't help it. You and I come from a different generation. A generation where music was from the heart no matter the culture. Our generation loves music from all genres. No matter the culture. Our generation is the changing point!!!!! I love your content....
Love this song! Love this band! I was 17 years old when their plane crashed 10/20/77, I cried for days. Every time I hear this song, still get goosebumps! RIP
Code Blue, Code Blue, ER 4! I need the paddles, I’m about to have an attack. This version of Free Bird and Cold in the same day? OMG Michael. 🔥🎸🎸🎸
My favourite thing to get me through COVID is to watch people react to Freebird live for the first time, lol. Greatest song in the history of humanity.
A great rock anthem of the 70's.
If you're going down the Southern Rock rabbit-hole, this is the entrance.
...and the exit too.
Awesome man. Thanks for pointing out the bass player he was playing the strings off that thing in that solo. Great video and a legendary performance by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Seeing Skynyrd live was always the BEST show. Allman Brothers were a close second. I was fortunate to have seen them early on then the second iteration that recently retired. IMHO the 3 guitar attack of Collins, Rossington & King/Gaines was revolutionary. Allen Collins was possibly a top 5 guitarist.
Simple Man is a great song.
I've watched that clip a 100 times but watching your reaction brought tears to my eys. I love your insght and love for music in its purists form. You are a new hero to me!!!
"SOUTHERN ROCK" FROM THE '70'S WHEN MUSIC WAS "REAL"! LED BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD NO DOUBT!!!!! WHAT A CRYING SHAME THAT RONNIE DIED SHORTLY AFTER THIS ICONIC PERFORMANCE. FOR ME IT DEFINITELY CHANGED NOT JUST SOUTHERN ROCK BUT ROCK & ROLL FOREVER!!!!!! OH MAN, JUST LISTEN, IF THIS DOESN'T REINFORCE YOUR LOVE & APPRECIATION OF ROCK YOU MUST BE DEAD. PERIOD!!!!!
Been listening to them from 13 yrs old n still enjoy them still today till I die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's that first leads that an aspiring guitarist tries to learn! ")
DramaSydETV,like Lynyrd Skynyrd your are the best🍺!
Thank you brother
I have listened to this song since it came out but I never felt it until I saw it live during the final tour. I know it wasn't the same without the originals but if felt good and watching the live videos of this and others in the late 60s and 70s reminds me of how much fun things were back then.
loved your reaction to the great skynyrd skynyrd free bird, probably their greatest song. your I sight of then and now I could not agree more...music was so much better back then. nice reaction.
Thanks for reacting to my home town neighborhood boys! When I was about 14 ...this hit the radio here in Jacksonville ...at first all I heard was the AM radio short version without the jam at the end... then I was telling my buddy about it and he said "listen to it on the FM station ...they play the whole song" and then he blew my mind and said ...You know, they are from right here in our neighborhood. We were so lucky in those days. We got to see the Allman brothers play in Willowbranch park for what was the first concert they ever played as the original Allman Brothers band. We were park rats in that park we had no idea what we were seeing and hearing ....some years later another friend took me to see Molly Hatchet ....I remember him saying "they play like Skynyrd" ...His brothers band was in a outdoor battle of the bands which also had 38 Special in it. What a blessing it was to be surrounded by such good music in them days. The further you dig into Skynyrd the more gems you will find. Also check out another Jacksonville act that is performing these days...JJ Grey and Mofro ....You can find the live versions of The Sun is shinning down and Lochloosa here on youtube ....trust me! You will love it!
I saw this performance that same year. It was in Phoenix, it was unreal, to this day I’ve never forgotten it. I was 15 then. Amazing band, so blessed to have been able to see them.
Thanks for reacting to this. It's almost like watching it WITH someone. Every time I watch this I end with a turn to sadness. If I had Doc's Delorean, this is where I would be today.
I have watched several reaction videos to just this one song. Each time, it's like I'm hearing it the first time too! I get chills! This band had SOOOO much talent in one place, at one time! Just mind-blowing! Thank you for posting xx I agree with everything you said :-)
The piano starting at 6:35 has to be just about the prettiest sounding piano part in any song anywhere not just southern rock!
