The picture on the album cover was taken in a small town, South of Atlanta, in Jonesboro Georgia, I lived across the street and watched this, they were there about 8 hours, after they left, i went over there in the same spot and took a pic of me standing there, i have it hanging on my wall since 1973, May all of the FREEBIRDS R.I.P., rock on, Cousin Figel
OMG, your so lucky to have seen this and meet them! I went to my pre-K down the street there & lived there Jonesboro ga in the 70s in Bonaza. I wish I'd been old enough to have seen them and meet them, . Yes the buildings are still there and the old train depo in the background. It looks to be painted white last time I drove by. I'm going to take some pictures. I always look and feel so sad for what happened to them and Ronnie . They played in Atlanta alot and we are not far but in the country. It made a great photo for them. God Bless them XO thanks for sharing your story. They are so special to me. The new movie about the band is great too,
Cop: Do you know how fast you was going? Me: Sorry Officer, Free Bird came on😬🤘 *turned up volume Cop: Carry on, next time, just pull over if ya can... 🤣🤣
With me, it's "Ma'am , you've been sitting in your car for 8 minutes since you drove into the parking lot. Are you alright?" "Yes, officer, Freebird came on." "Alright then."
Watching this man simply enjoy the music actually helps me appreciate it even more. Brings back some of the enthusiasm from my first time hearing tunes like this.
Same I like watching you, and all the other reactors on You Tube, I watch them a lot You make me smile and laugh and make me happy I love your comments and I love to watch you groove down the road of discovery of "new" music and discover the great music of the past
Back in 1976, there were no seat assignments in Kansas City's Municipal Hall, first come first served. You would stand in a huge herd of people, then buy your ticket, and everyone runs towards the stage. I was a budding musician, and I and my friends always ran to the sound board instead. I've lost track of how many concerts I've been, but lots. But this is the ONLY concert that I ever STOOD on the seats, going crazy. in awe of this guy who just kept going and going and going. It had to go 20 minutes. Unbelievable. I remember like it was yesterday. I'm 66 now, and yes, we did get to see all the great bands. I miss it bad
When my son had been taking guitar lessons for about 5 years, I told him I would give him $100.00 if he could learn this solo. 3 months later he did a darn good job. He remarked that there were 3 guitarists playing & he did the best he could. I was impressed that a 16 year old could do that!
I tell my wife and kids I want this song to play at my funeral, and the lyrics on my Tomb stone or Momerial..... "If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on, now Cause there's too many places I've got to see...."
I have so many great memories of hearing this song in the Abercorn bar in Paisley in the late 70’s when I was a biker and into bands like This . For me it’s still the best head banging tune ever.
@@louf7178 I have seen then few times in concert, but that's his brother and the few band members that are left that have tried to pick up the pieces of what was left after the horrible accident, it's just awesome his little brother gave it his best to make up for it for the fans it took him time but over the years he has honestly covered his brother's songs very well! It's been awesome and heck I'm honored to have seen them they still put on one hell of a show
i"m 66 now, but i remember the summer of 1975, Kansas City Municiple hall. Blew us away. Blew us away. Maybe best song i've ever heard live, and I've been to a few
Well shit, because of that knowledge you must also know how your parents fucked to this masterpiece... cause this ain’t no love making slow jam... cheers
Some people just can't be tied down and trying to change them is asking for a broken heart. Have to love them as they are. Arguably the best Southern Rock song ever recorded.
I was at the Charlie Daniels concert when we got the news that the Bird had flown to the ground.😢 Charlie Daniels later wrote the song that says " We where in that Saint Louis Town when we heard that the bird had flown to the ground." 😢
I've heard this song so many times (one of my favorites)and every time I hear the tempo increase right before the solos I get a smile on my face because I know what's coming. Great music makes you feel something in your soul. "Simple man" next please!
I always crank that bridge part up when Im getting on the ramp to the interstate on my way back to Houston. Where I actually really do feel free. Lol. So by the time I get to full speed, the song has gotten to full speed. It's just so conducive to driving on the interstate.
It was Al Kooper that friend to get them to shorten it Ronnie walked him out of Fame studios in Muscle Shoals put him in his car and said We'll call you when we're done ..as told in The History of Southern Rock documentary.
ridged05, at only 37. I saw Skynyrd in 1987, when they first got back on the road, ten years after the tragedy. All of the surviving band members were there. Allen didn’t play, but his dad brought him out in a wheelchair, and he spoke to the crowd. Back then, when they played Free Bird, Johnny Van Zant didn’t attempt to sing it. The band played, they hung Ronnie’s hat on the microphone and showed a video of Ronnie singing. It was very emotional. I saw them in September, too.
back in the day musicians had to prove how good they were with long solos. i miss that kind of music. for someone to play a solo that long must be exhausting.
One of the great things about old bands is that most of them generally sounded like they did on the album. There was much less faking. If you heard them on album you could be assured they would sound the same or at least similar.
This song takes me back!!! 1976...I’m 17 cruising in the Impala, mellow with my buddies. At my life end party, this song will be played. I’ll be with the Lord and then “I will be changed!”
My hometown guys-went to the same high school as them. Really changed rock and helped defined a genre, something a lot of bands can’t claim. Epic track that is best listened to live, where they really shined! 🎸🎼
I saw them on a tribute tour in the 80s. They played this, of course, but Johnny Vanzant (sp?) didn't sing it because he said only one man could. So the crowd sang it. Just wow.
Yep, saw it in 1987, ten years after the live album and following tragedy. We were so blown away that they sounded EXACTLY like the former a decade later, even without Ronnie, Steve and Cassie (RIP). Johnny refused to sing his brother's anthem that firsy comeback tour and just placed Ronnie's hat over the mic and walked away. Very touching. Later he took up the task proper and did a great job.
Worcester mass.at the Centrum the same thing with thousands of bic lighters that changed the temp by alot by the time it was over. Very emotional to say the least.
People tend to forget that the drummer is going the entire time as well. One of the greatest songs of all time, I'm glad you're able to appreciate and enjoy it.
Though there are quite a few to add: Blackfoot, Point Blank, Atlanta Rythm Section, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, Doc Holiday etc etc...... damn the huge list of awesome Southern bands from that time........................
I've never really had many friends in my life Watching music with you it feels like having a friend I have watched a ton of your videos and I love them all Someday it would be great to hang out in person with someone as cool as you
i had this played at my Dads funeral...that record was one you could start it and let it play!! every song was good! I agree with remohio below those songs along with freebird, its just epic
This song just makes me so happy, goose bumps and endorphins pumping round my brain. I think Lynryd Skynyrd created the "drop" with this song . Big thanks for this one.
Oh HELL YES!!!! Ricky Medlock rocks. Ofcourse he's Skynyrd now. You know he's got a young group using the name know but they do play the old music like Train train!
This song was written as a tribute to the late great Duane Allman, and it means a lot to a lot of people. Ronnie you were a genius and still very much missed!! R.I.P. to all of the members who have passed on!!!!
Pumping energy, on fire riffs - loved it back in the day and still now. Thanks for the music. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for your hard work to make this happen and bring the music to us all.
There are four truly epic songs, I believe, of the classic rock era: Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven, Moody Blues- Nights in white Satin, Outlaws- Green Grass and High Tides and of coarse this masterpiece! Long live rock!
Thank you for reviewing this Jamel. My uncle has this played this at his funeral. He had a amazing and crazy life, and nobody could change him, and it was for the best. Whenever i hear this song i think about him and him jamming out to it on his way to the pearly gates, and it hits me harder than it ever did. This will always be my favorite rock song. RIP Barry i love you unc
A couple more of them Southern guitar gods songs, Green grass and high tides by the Outlaws. In memory of Elizabeth reed live at the Filmore East by the Allman Brothers. Love that Star Wars hoodie.
Seen the Outlaws and Molly Hatchet at the Miami Sea stadium back in the day. Ended up partying with the Outlaws after the show Hughie and Billy were real charcters. They blew Hatchet off the stage. Big fan of the Fla. Guitar Army.
Freebird just reaches you into the soul! I remembered hearing the news of the airplane accident. I heard it over the radio. KMET played Stairway to Heaven and Freebird back to back. It was a sad day. But their music lives on. I had Street Survivors. The original album with flames on it and behind the band. The label. Reprinted the album with the background flames. That album was great. The song That smell was about drug addiction.
I acquired the name “FREE BIRD” for my TH-cam acc! I never even focussed on this BEAUTIFUL SONG before, it was there when I was a teenager!!! Thanks for sharing it with your music audience! Loved it!
Good lawd!! You Never Cease to Amaze me! Every time time I hear this I think of an Old Friend who died in a car crash! I Cry like a Baby! I was his Best man! and we worked together for 4 years together till laid off! ( We did quite a few drugs in those days, late 70's) I Carried on in our Industry amd found out of his passing through friends! Missed his Funeral by 1 Day because of a misprint in the Local paper! Regret it Everyday Day of My life! Thank you!!
Preach: If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on, now Cause there's too many places I've got to see But, if I stayed here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you can not change Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And this bird you can not change And this bird you can not change Lord knows, I can't change Bye, bye, baby, it's been a sweet love Though this feeling I can't change But please don't take it so badly Cause Lord knows I'm to blame But, if I stayed here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you'll never change Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And this bird you can not change And this bird you can not change Lord knows, I can't change Lord help me, I can't change Lord, I can't change Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
Thank you for this reaction. We have heard this song a gabazillion times and it always rocks our faces off, to this day! If this is only the second time you’re ever heard it, it has to spark joy! Btw, your clothes and hats are ALWAYS fresh to death! Keep,rockin on!!
This song will always remind me of a good friend of mine who died over 10 years ago while in college. I haven't thought about him in quite a while and now I'm remembering all the great times and crazy things we did together growing up over the years, RIP Corey.
This is the most requested son of all time at bars, in concerts, everywhere imaginable. The guitar solo at the end was written by Allen Collins and played by him the same exact way every single time. The other guitarists are, of course, backing him up, but this was very much Allen’s song, with Ronnie writing the lyrics of course. This song is a staple and a legend. Lynyrd Skynyrd is (the original) is my favorite band of all time. Thanks for reacting to it.
If they don't play this at my Funeral I'm Not Going.
I like that, I'm gonna live by that myself.🤣
😂
Same!!
You should have won the internet for the day you posted that comment. That’s classic. I’m stealing it!!
hahaha best comment I've read on youtubes
Legend has it that that guitar solo is still going on. 😎
I believe that!
Haha, good one!
getyourkicksagain 😆
Allen colins best .
All the greats are jamming to this tune
The 3 guitar attack plus Ronnie Van Zant poetry, the pride of Jacksonville, FL. This song will forever be iconic!
I am a UK citizen, and when our lockdown is over, I'm blasting this shit over my neighborhood whether they like it or not
Why wait? Bring some happiness right now! My neighbours will for sure have a better taste in music soon.

excactly what it is.
Remember; out of the abundance of the heart

one of those songs you just sit in the driveway with the motor running until its over....
That is what I am doing right now!!! Love me some Skynard!! 🤗
Absolutely friend.
Or the parking lot.
Tobaobo! Done that 100 times! thx for that memory!
TOTAL DISRESPECT to cut this one short. I'm not friends with those kind of people. SOUTHERN ROCK MASTERPIECE!!✌💟🤩
FREE BIRD. Its an anthem down here in the south.
Oh yeah it is
It's an Anthem. Period.
Yea it is!!
And in New England.....we northerners love Skynyrd....
@@laurakali6522 I get that, but it speaks to us in a different way.

You just brought me to tears with that... I had to read this to my boyfriend... wow.
if i remember correctly, some scenes from Smokey And The Bandit were also filmed in Jonesboro, GA
@@Badfingerbabe777 the new movie isn't all accurate.
"Lord knows I can't change" - that line sucker punches my soul every time I hear him sing it.
It's the truth.
Let's make it: ' Lord knows l CAN change '
Same for me
It’s the opening line for me:”if I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me”
Lord Knows I cant change
Has anyone else out there had this song bring them to tears or am I just mental?
Pretty much every time.
Reminds me of my friend Gabriel who has passed. His favorite band. Still have a Skynyrd CD he gave me.
Especially when he does the little bird sound with the slide, which is a tribute to the late great Duane Allman
no but it nearly got me a speeding ticket!
Yes
And 47 years later it’s still the guitar anthem gold standard.
Cop: Do you know how fast you was going?
Me: Sorry Officer, Free Bird came on😬🤘 *turned up volume

That guitar "solo" was actually THREE guitarists; Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, and Ed King.
Dana Reynolds I cant believe Jimmy Page performed his Stairway solo by himself.
And Steve Gaines took over the performances after Ed King left the band.
Yes, eventually. They did a few albums with just Rossington & Collins on guitar.
@@ELLIOT1311 with retakes tab overs
@@danareynolds1786 That was the Rossington Collins Band with what was left of Lynrd Skynrd
Imagine being 17 , listening to that, I was LOVE IT. Im 58 now and Love it still!
I can relate I am 61 had a 70 charger rt blasted this song.

Watch the live version from Oakland coliseum live 07/02/1977 there's 4 Guitars on stage playing
Just let him know thats normal for Skynyrd.
One of the greatest rock songs ever written and the guitar solo is quite simply legendary. Love your reaction
Totally agree
We played this at my dad's funeral. I remember half way through the solo hearing my grandma say "how long is this song??" lmao
That was probably a little needed chuckle 🤭
Forever ... Forever 😂
I tell my wife and kids I want this song to play at my funeral, and the lyrics on my Tomb stone or Momerial..... "If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
Cause there's too many places I've got to see...."
My brother-in-law had this at his funeral as well as Stairway to Heaven. It was awesome. I’m sure he was happy.
Amen
My Uncle had this song at his funeral.Then as 102 motorcycles blasting this on the drive to the cemetery.
That's freakin' beautiful! What a great idea!
@@pattyoxley1887 Awesome!
Man this song wrenches the gut, like it's the first time, every time.
Rock On
I have so many great memories of hearing this song in the Abercorn bar in Paisley in the late 70’s when I was a biker and into bands like This . For me it’s still the best head banging tune ever.
One of the Best Songs ever! I always get Goose Bumps!!
Think of ALL the incredible music they could have made if they hadn't died so young. It's heart breaking.
I saw a concert with the new LS after an Indy car race (10 years ago?). It was a really good show.
Not all died but I hear ya

It's like they say, only the good die young.
Bob Hayett Same goes for Jimi Hendrix
The greatest “it’s not you, it’s me” song ever written.
It does just come off as "I don't want commitment", and that's fine, because at least he's honest about it.
"Its not about leaving a girl" lyrics are immediately about leaving a girl. 0 reaction. Great reacts dumbass
The songs not about a girl. It’s was about the death of Duane Allman.
@@danielblack8304 Nope... the song was written before Allman died, but Ronnie Van Zandt dedicated the song to his memory!
👍🏼
i"m 66 now, but i remember the summer of 1975, Kansas City Municiple hall. Blew us away. Blew us away. Maybe best song i've ever heard live, and I've been to a few
I literally owe my existence to this song! I was conceived at a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in 1986 while they played this song!
Well shit, because of that knowledge you must also know how your parents fucked to this masterpiece... cause this ain’t no love making slow jam... cheers
RIP ORIGINAL LYNYRD SKYNYRD ❤
Some people just can't be tied down and trying to change them is asking for a broken heart. Have to love them as they are. Arguably the best Southern Rock song ever recorded.
No argument about it is the best, tho Tuesdays Gone could give it a challenge and Simple Man might also
Green Grass and High Tides says "hi".
I had a Lynyrd Skynyd funeral for my husband. it was THE BEST! He would have loved it.
Well said. It’s an ode to indiv liberty and freedom and the line in the sand to hold it.... it’s why the song resonates so deeply in the south.
Ima Free Bird 4 life.
That drummer though he had to keep up with all of them and did it so damn well
That plane crash changed music history forever. What could've been.
I was at the Charlie Daniels concert when we got the news that the Bird had flown to the ground.😢
Charlie Daniels later wrote the song that says " We where in that Saint Louis Town when we heard that the bird had flown to the ground." 😢
May be a lot of disappointment eould have followed. You never know
Gimme Three Steps, Simple Man, That Smell, Tuesday's Gone.
Tuesdays Gone!....Simple Man is a good time too.
Ballad of Curtis Loew
Workin for MCA
Anything but sweet home Alabama, Sooooo over played😫
But really On the Hunt or Was I Right or Wrong is the way to go
When I hear this song I'm young and healthy and free. Thanks.
Me too. Makes my heart skip a beat
Perfectly said...
Truth!
Same.
well I'm still healthy & free. So 2 out of 3 aint bad. I do miss being the young Hell Raiser I was though
The end of the devil's rejects when they play this is truly a epic ending to a movie
Yes
It fits the ending so good. Best choice of a song to go with the action.
I’ve heard this song SO many times but I never skip it and it never fails me to give me the goosebumps
In my top 10 greatest songs of all time.
That Smell by them is awesome the guitars in it are insane
I love all genre but that freebird is one of my favorite songs of all time.
"When our death comes we will become birds and fly free to heaven"
While stationed at Fort Ord in California 1977, my husband and his buddies went to Oakland Stadium and watched Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Day on the Green
I was there!!!
That was a time when solos actually were memorable and meant something ...
I've heard this song so many times (one of my favorites)and every time I hear the tempo increase right before the solos I get a smile on my face because I know what's coming. Great music makes you feel something in your soul. "Simple man" next please!
I get goose bumps Every. Single. Time!!!
I always crank that bridge part up when Im getting on the ramp to the interstate on my way back to Houston. Where I actually really do feel free. Lol. So by the time I get to full speed, the song has gotten to full speed. It's just so conducive to driving on the interstate.
Another good one would be Walls of Raiford. And also Comin' Home.
Never fails, goosebumps happen immediately every single time I listen to this song. Incredible classic masterpiece!!!
This song is a testament to the memory of Duane Allman.
Most people don't know that but should
It is a song about a man with commitment issues.
To think the record company thought this was too long
Record company's are a cancer to the spirit of music.
It was Al Kooper that friend to get them to shorten it Ronnie walked him out of Fame studios in Muscle Shoals put him in his car and said We'll call you when we're done ..as told in The History of Southern Rock documentary.
@@retiredrookie7146 yep..playing it safe and friendly takes away the epicness and uniqueness

damn he was young. such a tragedy, this song will always be a huge part of so many people’s lives and it’s largely due to his wonderful playing
Not just Allen - Ed King is in there also - saw them a few times out here in Calif...
Time really flies
The Rossington Collins Band was great....only 2 albums....but awesome of course.
back in the day musicians had to prove how good they were with long solos. i miss that kind of music. for someone to play a solo that long must be exhausting.
I’m almost 54 years of age and this was one of my staples growing up. So glad to see you enjoying the sounds 😎👍
YOU ARE THE KING OF REACTIONS!!! Just watching you react to the Greats makes my day...Thanks for another great reaction...
This song took on a whole new meaning to me when he passed away in that plane crash ☹️
Amen
😂 As if you were actually alive in 1977
Next southern rock anthem to react to after Skynyrd: The Outlaws -- Green Grass and High Tides
One of the great things about old bands is that most of them generally sounded like they did on the album. There was much less faking. If you heard them on album you could be assured they would sound the same or at least similar.
Or better.. The Allman brothers would just play and play.. improvising as they went.
Sometimes we get to hear something so perfect, so beautiful. The band was never the same when Ronnie died.
This song takes me back!!! 1976...I’m 17 cruising in the Impala, mellow with my buddies. At my life end party, this song will be played. I’ll be with the Lord and then “I will be changed!”
This is one of those songs, it doesn't matter where you are, when it starts, it gets all your focus and you sing along.

Yes, I'm the A--hole who goes to whatever concert or show and yells for the band to play Freebird.
BigMateo24 I do the same thing- “ Play some Skynyrd!”
Bahaha! I hear it at every concert I go to. Usually the band will do Sweet Home Alabama as I'm in Alabama.
Iffen you get laryngitis or somethin like it, I'll cover for you.
LMAO! I always thought it was a guy I used to work with...
We all were...😘
This is the Greatest song ever,nobody can deny ,SKYNYRD!!!
People tend to forget that the drummer is going the entire time as well. One of the greatest songs of all time, I'm glad you're able to appreciate and enjoy it.
Skynryd and the Allmans....the best of epic, classic southern rock.
Agree, I'd probably add Marshall Tucker Band to the mix.
From Jacksonville, FL. You're welcome. 😁
Though there are quite a few to add: Blackfoot, Point Blank, Atlanta Rythm Section, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, Doc Holiday etc etc...... damn the huge list of awesome Southern bands from that time........................

Dang straight!!!!
Amen. Long live Skynyrd!!
The epitome of what Rock is supposed to be.......with Southern flavor!
This song just screams 70s and I love it!
And they are still playing that solo to this day decades later . The first few dozen guitars caught fire and had to be changed out
i had this played at my Dads funeral...that record was one you could start it and let it play!! every song was good! I agree with remohio below those songs along with freebird, its just epic
You should watch the church fight scene from Kingsman. One of the most awesome fight scenes ever, with a good chunk of the credit going to Free Bird.
This song is in the epic last scene of Devils Rejects. One of the best scenes in movie history.
And the song fits perfectly. Rob Zombie hit the nail on the head with that scene.
Your videos make me smile so much! Good music crosses all boundaries. You show that with every video! Thank you for your amazing channel!
This song just makes me so happy, goose bumps and endorphins pumping round my brain.
I think Lynryd Skynyrd created the "drop" with this song .
Big thanks for this one.
Check out the band Blackfoot: Train Train, Highway Song, Wishing Well, Left Turn on a Red Light, and Dairy of a Working Man.
Oh HELL YES!!!! Ricky Medlock rocks. Ofcourse he's Skynyrd now. You know he's got a young group using the name know but they do play the old music like Train train!
Hi way song is top of my list but all those are winners!!!
Jamel is like that friend you get to take to every awesome concert for the first time. Super fun.
Another great for you to react to would be The Ballad of Curtis Lowe.
The Bass is the Lead on this tune,and it will wear yer ass out. I was glad we played it before break...LOL.LOVE IT.
My uncle knew the Van Zant family in Jacksonville Florida because we lived there. He was and is still a musician.
My uncles knew them too! Back when everyone was over there in the Park Street area 😁 I'm still in Jax
@@BaldingClamydia yes! My uncle still lives there too. I moved to Green Bay in 2007 but still have nieces and nephews that live there.
This song was written as a tribute to the late great Duane Allman, and it means a lot to a lot of people. Ronnie you were a genius and still very much missed!! R.I.P. to all of the members who have passed on!!!!
Pumping energy, on fire riffs - loved it back in the day and still now. Thanks for the music. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for your hard work to make this happen and bring the music to us all.
Skynard-Call me the Breeze. Guarantee to get ya moving. 🤘✌️
Definitely a toe tapper
Jj cale version is better
@@stevenbobleyshire2191 who ?
@@jimmyc2895 jj cale made the original version.
you could say that about every single J.J. cale cover
There are four truly epic songs, I believe, of the classic rock era: Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven, Moody Blues- Nights in white Satin, Outlaws- Green Grass and High Tides and of coarse this masterpiece! Long live rock!
Thanks so much for playing this it’s one of my favorite songs of Skynrd .. it has such a deep meaning and thanks again ..
Thank you for reviewing this Jamel. My uncle has this played this at his funeral. He had a amazing and crazy life, and nobody could change him, and it was for the best. Whenever i hear this song i think about him and him jamming out to it on his way to the pearly gates, and it hits me harder than it ever did. This will always be my favorite rock song. RIP Barry i love you unc
A couple more of them Southern guitar gods songs, Green grass and high tides by the Outlaws. In memory of Elizabeth reed live at the Filmore East by the Allman Brothers. Love that Star Wars hoodie.
Yeah buddy, Liz Reed is one of the greatest tunes of all time.
Yep gotta do the Allman Brothers.
Outlaws! Florida Guitar Army!
I would rate "Green Grass..." up there with "Free Bird", tbh. It's amazing.
Seen the Outlaws and Molly Hatchet at the Miami Sea stadium back in the day. Ended up partying with the Outlaws after the show Hughie and Billy were real charcters. They blew Hatchet off the stage. Big fan of the Fla. Guitar Army.
On of my all time favorites....I ell remember it when it first came out. Unbelieveable. You sure have a wide range of tastes. Thank you!
I just cried......feeling alive.
This is the best TH-cam video concept ever ! I Love it ! Thanks man. You're a happiness dealer. So simple but so gooooodddd !
Freebird just reaches you into the soul! I remembered hearing the news of the airplane accident. I heard it over the radio. KMET played Stairway to Heaven and Freebird back to back. It was a sad day. But their music lives on. I had Street Survivors. The original album with flames on it and behind the band. The label. Reprinted the album with the background flames. That album was great. The song That smell was about drug addiction.
I acquired the name “FREE BIRD” for my TH-cam acc!
I never even focussed on this BEAUTIFUL SONG before, it was there when I was a teenager!!!
Thanks for sharing it with your music audience!
Loved it!
Good lawd!! You Never Cease to Amaze me! Every time time I hear this I think of an Old Friend who died in a car crash! I Cry like a Baby! I was his Best man! and we worked together for 4 years together till laid off! ( We did quite a few drugs in those days, late 70's) I Carried on in our Industry amd found out of his passing through friends! Missed his Funeral by 1 Day because of a misprint in the Local paper! Regret it Everyday Day of My life! Thank you!!
I love seeing people's reactions when Allen Collins gets going.
The most under rated guitar players ever!! R.I.P. Allen . We love ya brother!
He isnt under rated bro everyone knows he kicks ass!!!!
Gimmie Back my Bullets is their most under rated single. Maybe my fave
Documentary If I Leave Here Tomorrow on Showtime chronicles their beginnings and the aftermath A Must See
Preach:
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this bird you can not change
And this bird you can not change
Lord knows, I can't change
Bye, bye, baby, it's been a sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you'll never change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this bird you can not change
And this bird you can not change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
Lord, I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
If you like Southern Rock, I really think you would like the sexy groove of “So Into You” by the Atlanta Rhythm Section!
Good Choice , I suggest their song "Champagne Jam"
So Into You is a perfect song. Thanks. :)
Doraville too, just to get some perspective
Tuesdays Gone, brother. Tuesdays Gone, imo is Skynyrds best.
Yesss and simple man
Gimme back my bullets...lol
Haha, how can you say that brother ?
They had so many !
I don’t think they released a bad song
SERIOUSLY JUST DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT!!
Always enjoy your reactions, especially when your mind is being blown!!🤩👍
L O V E when he makes that thang "bark". I got to to live during the 60s, 70s and 80s. God how I wish I had a REDO button.
Thank you for this reaction. We have heard this song a gabazillion times and it always rocks our faces off, to this day! If this is only the second time you’re ever heard it, it has to spark joy! Btw, your clothes and hats are ALWAYS fresh to death! Keep,rockin on!!
It's 3 guitar solos at once. Collins, Rossington and King.
Their last concert before the plane crash was in my hometown of Greenville, South Carolina.
This song will always remind me of a good friend of mine who died over 10 years ago while in college. I haven't thought about him in quite a while and now I'm remembering all the great times and crazy things we did together growing up over the years, RIP Corey.
This is the most requested son of all time at bars, in concerts, everywhere imaginable. The guitar solo at the end was written by Allen Collins and played by him the same exact way every single time. The other guitarists are, of course, backing him up, but this was very much Allen’s song, with Ronnie writing the lyrics of course. This song is a staple and a legend. Lynyrd Skynyrd is (the original) is my favorite band of all time. Thanks for reacting to it.
