Ever since I’ve heard this song I wanted to find the studio recording of it. I finally recovered the rest of my brains cells and built up the intellect to search “free bird studio recording”
This isn’t the film of the studio recording. It’s a live performance they did back in 1974 in Germany. The channel just added the studio version for the audio
Man that Allen Collins was the greatest guitar soloist ever. I know the most of these guys are dead but definatly not forgot. I would rather hear the extended version anyday. This is a true classic song and the guys who made this song possible deserves the credit. To Ronnie Vansant and Allen Collins you both are the reason I can't stop hitting the replay button. RIP 2 thumbs up
"that right there was the equivalent of the freaking Mona Lisa. - Way different than just hearing it on the radio." - Ohhh so true my friend. Song will very well burn for all of eternity. Amazing to watch the original group, banding together on this masterpiece. Chokes me up 95% of the times i am so honered and privileged to listen to it.
What was there not to love about this ??? Creative music science at work through impeccable talent... not that I can justly describe this. OMG... the energy !
Well done Jared, i was lucky to be in Atlanta during the time Skynyrd was there recording at MCA, saw them at Funochios, Richards, and The Fox...what memories..
Sylvia Florida Funny how everybody ends up in Florida, used to live on Peachtree Cir, loved Mose Jones, Hydra, Mothers Finest...the whole Atlanta scene was so cool, if only we could go back...had fun on 10th Street, at Underground Atlanta, Roses Cantina, Johnny's steakhouse...i grew up in Chamblee and Doraville, you cant even recognize the place now...we probably sat next to each other to one time or another, at Richards or Alex Cooleys ...Chastain Park listening to the Allman Brothers, or Atlanta Rhythm Section...anyway nice talking to ya
YES, I definitely noticed that while syncing. Even the little nuances that you would think are improvised, they did deliberately and they are visible in the performance (like Gary's little "wipe" he does with the slide at 0:56). Thanks!
We had tickets for their gig at Winterland, San Francisco 1977 & when they crashed it was like a knife in my heart. Best Southern Rock Band & Freebird is one of the best songs ever. So glad I got to see them every time they played the city back in the 70's. RIP Freebird,
This song is perfect in every way, from the iconic slide guitar opening to the balls out guitar solo grand finale and the sentiments of a liberated spirit held within the lyrics, made all the more poignant by the untimely deaths of most of the band. a solid southern rock icon that will last forever, and i shall leave this planet riding on the slipstream of its beating wings.
to the critics, dont compare this band with any other. they were lynyrd skynyrd, one of the greatest southern rock bands ever. they were who they were. that alone is the only thing that will ever matter. its a great video. thanks for all the work mixing this studio version to the video.
Jared, I can't thank you enough times for this video. Not only the music is great, but it's very nice to see how this amazing band played this awesome music. Thank you very much!
Major freaking props to the guy that posted this, synced up the audio & included the informative annotations. Maybe you have to play guitar to appreciate this (maybe not) but that right there was the equivalent of the freaking Mona Lisa. - Way different than just hearing it on the radio. When you see those dueling Gibson SG's, along with Ronnie Van Zant & Collins going COMPLETELY nuts on the Gibson Firebird you can truly appreciate what went into this masterpiece. Freaking. Awesome.
5 people aren't free birds. Also, I congradulate and appreciate your obvious hard work!! You did an absolutly AMAZING job on putting this video together!!!! Mind was blown by the song, but when I saw the video, it like went back into pieces and re-exploded!!
Wow..does this song ever take me back to a day when this was "my song" and it's just how I lived too!!!! This one's for Larry ~ I still love you!!!! Deb
Man!!!!! When they wrote this song and were creating the Guitar and Rhythm all the way around, you know they were seriously feeling this music to the core of their soul!!!! Damn this song is just soooooooo Rippin in their big time!!!!
I have been searching the FULL VERSION of this song for HOURS but all i get is a 4 minute song or a 9 point something second song in whih the song ends in mid solo. It was horrible . but FINALLY i have found a FULL VERSION to this AWESOME song. LONG LIVE REAL MUSIC and A MILLION THANKS TO THE UPLOADER !!!!!!!
Amazing how people such as "nenxe" take the time to make something like this so we all can enjoy one of the best songs EVER. Hats off to ya. In todays world ANYBODY can be a star. All you have to have is good looks and mild singing abilities. Don't worry, Auto-tune will help you. The cold, hard reality is music like this is a thing of the past. Fake personalities, fake singing, no writing, no talent is the music of today. (Except for a few bands) Crying shame...
The outtake version was first released in the late 80's on a compilation album called Skynyrd's Innyrds. If you listen closely to the original studio version (from pronounced) you can hear where it fades out before playing the final winddown that you alway associate with the live version.
Wow this kicks through the fire and the flames a** anyday! This was back when bands had to have REAL talent to actually be considered worth anything. Im only 14 but, I have a much higher appreciation of music from this age than the crap they have on the radio now, no matter what anyone says.
FAVORITE QUOTES To me, there's nothing freer than a bird, you know, just flying wherever he wants to go. And, I don't know, that's what this country is all about, being free. I think everyone wants to be a free bird." Ronnie Van Zant
Ahhhhh I lived the 70's and 80's......I cant say that I liked the way I lived those days....but yes I liked the people.... Many I have lost to this world....and those of us that are still around say "Thank you ....there but for the grace, here we are." It was a strange and wonderful time.....but then again I am now in 2010. I am sure if I live another 30 years I will say ....loved the 2010 ...I liked the way peopled lived......and here but for Grace I am :)
awesome job man! chocked me up at the beginning as this song does sometimes. especially since seeing this footage is new to me. God they are so young. Allan is amazing! I want to go back in time
One of the best songs ever- in my opinion! Tattooed freebird on my arm for all this song means to me- RIP Billy Powell, along with the rest of the members Lynyrd Skynyrd has lost. Great job n the syncing- was great to see the original band getting together!!!
This is the best video version of this record i have ever seen.. SALUTE to the creator!...I'm a hip hop head jammin' out to this record..thanks for the visuals.
Indeed. Thanks so much for this superb video and all the hard work and trouble you have taken to mix it. I think if people can only come on here and say how bad something is ... well clearly they looked up the wrong link! Having done so it seems a bit silly to then post negative comments and take their stupidity out on someone else! The original Skynyrds were amazing and I remember being totally devastated at the time of the crash.
Because the live playing is easy to find. This was made manually, by me, by editing it together. It was an experiment to see if I could sync up the studio recording. And I did.
@nenxe but he did play drums,& sing on a couple old songs before pronounced came out.& did write some old stuff with them.if i recall right,leon didnt play on the first record.it was ed king playing his parts.but its realy the bunch on the cover that are the original lineup in my eyes! There will never be a Skynyrd like them!!!73-77 was magic!!!

Same my guy
we can be bird brained sometimes
Even after all these years, this song still has one of the sickest guitar solos in the entire world.
It's more than sickest
7:59 THIS IS ART
You help keeping their memory alive. LONG LIVE LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!!!
Almost everybody died
Man that Allen Collins was the greatest guitar soloist ever. I know the most of these guys are dead but definatly not forgot. I would rather hear the extended version anyday.

The guitar playing is fucking amazing
I'm a black man from New Orleans and this damn song is the bomb.
even black had an 8track stereo in their car and pad listen to this from 1973
What was there not to love about this ??? Creative music science at work through impeccable talent... not that I can justly describe this. OMG... the energy !
it doesn't matter whether you are black or white
@@preving-Micheal Jackson
they aint dead people! they are in your hearts!
Lovin the ol classic rock...
Excellent job! I'm sure it took a while to get it synced right but the end result was worth it!
I got on 8track unplugged version 1973 sir
Well done Jared, i was lucky to be in Atlanta during the time Skynyrd was there recording at MCA, saw them at Funochios, Richards, and The Fox...what memories..
I saw them at Funochios in Atlanta, too in 1973. Also, The Rathskellar in Gainesville in 1972. They played a set before Tom Petty (Mudcrutch).
Sylvia Florida Funny how everybody ends up in Florida, used to live on Peachtree Cir, loved Mose Jones, Hydra, Mothers Finest...the whole Atlanta scene was so cool, if only we could go back...had fun on 10th Street, at Underground Atlanta, Roses Cantina, Johnny's steakhouse...i grew up in Chamblee and Doraville, you cant even recognize the place now...we probably sat next to each other to one time or another, at Richards or Alex Cooleys ...Chastain Park listening to the Allman Brothers, or Atlanta Rhythm Section...anyway nice talking to ya
Allen Collins , awesome !

Thanks!
This is a magnificent video and it's so good to hear the full length version of this awesome song! Got to be the best ever!
I got it on 8track unplugged version 1973

This is awesome! Thank you!!! I saw them perform in Charleston, SC at The Flying Dutchman back in 74... I will never forget it!!
So great Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!!! This is my favorite song of this band, i usually ear it, and i think is one of the greatest songs of Rock
This song is perfect in every way, from the iconic slide guitar opening to the balls out guitar solo grand finale and the sentiments of a liberated spirit held within the lyrics, made all the more poignant by the untimely deaths of most of the band. a solid southern rock icon that will last forever, and i shall leave this planet riding on the slipstream of its beating wings.
the best 10 mins i ever spent of my life was here watching this fantastic song,now where's my air-guitar gone................

hey man thanks a LOT for making and posting this! way to go!
Awesome video editing man. I'm 22 and I prefer listening to this than the nonsense that my generation is putting out now.
I agree. if you don't like the song, just don't listen to it. don't dislike just because you don't have good taste in music. :)
Jared, I can't thank you enough times for this video. Not only the music is great, but it's very nice to see how this amazing band played this awesome music.
Thank you very much!

great job nenxe...this tribute to this great song will long stand the test of time in rock and rock history
60s+70s+80s was the best of music ever seen.
And I have never lived through any of those times.
you missed a great era im in my sixties and still rockin'
One of the best videos I have ever seen, coming from a 80S meal head, that was fuckin awesom. Sad there not here.
2023 still one of my favourites
thanks for making this!
Very nicely done. Thanks!!!
awesome job man! chocked me up at the beginning as this song does sometimes. especially since seeing this footage is new to me. God they are so young. Allan is amazing! I want to go back in time
One of the best songs ever- in my opinion! Tattooed freebird on my arm for all this song means to me- RIP Billy Powell, along with the rest of the members Lynyrd Skynyrd has lost. Great job n the syncing- was great to see the original band getting together!!!
fantastic work on the video. started listening and i forgot what i was doing
the ending! you put the ending in! yes!
Killer jams
this song means a lot to me.. and it always will..
Good work, dude, making this video !!! The song is a myth, a hymn !!
This is the best video version of this record i have ever seen.. SALUTE to the creator!...I'm a hip hop head jammin' out to this record..thanks for the visuals.

great solo, nice guitarsound and cool movie, and nice vevo didnt uploaded it
I wanna break everything in my place when I hear that crazy solo ahahah ! set me on fire - so good
One of the best songs ever.
I'm 14, and I can't tell you how glad I am we still have stuff like this around, so I don't have to listen to the pop and rap of my generation.
Este solo es mi preferido de por vida ... !!!!
i think this is my true fav song of all times!
if only there was bands that could still rock out like these guys
Because the live playing is easy to find. This was made manually, by me, by editing it together. It was an experiment to see if I could sync up the studio recording. And I did.
6:55 priceless .The flow is just incredible.
ronnie rest in peace and long live skynyrd
Awesome absolutely awesome. What a great band and a great song.
Thanks Nenxe that was a real treat.
Now THIS is real music video. Couldn't get better.
@nenxe but he did play drums,& sing on a couple old songs before pronounced came out.& did write some old stuff with them.if i recall right,leon didnt play on the first record.it was ed king playing his parts.but its realy the bunch on the cover that are the original lineup in my eyes! There will never be a Skynyrd like them!!!73-77 was magic!!!
They don't just rock, they rock hard. Best singers ever!!!!!!!!!!
good old rock n roll! hell yeah! guitars making me dance, thanks for the postQ!
The absolute B E S T ever!!!!! It really is a hymn! Speaks to the soul......
Great job on it man. The video and song look dead on, and if any lag at all, it's barely noticeable. def. 5 stars.
