No slight to Billy but the harmonica, extra guitar from Ed King, and all done a half step slower makes this song come alive with that Southern blues style rock and roll that put Skynyrd on the map. This is by far the best version of the song they could of possibly put forth.
@@charlesbukowski9836 a small plane crashed into it. Unfortunately they decided to demolish it. Yeah born and raised in San Ber’dino as Zappa said. Lol. Are you?
@@jimmycurry5113I learnt it by ear 3 years ago (played it in a band) but I never tabbed it out unfortunately. I haven’t played the solo since then, so I don’t quite remember how to anymore.
I wish I had the biggest baddest stereo system in the whole world because I wouldn't need bomb s or gun s I would just need good old boy rock n roll to win any wars 🤔🇺🇸👍
Yes indeed....That IS Lee Freeman from Strawberry Alarm Clock....he was always amazing on harmonica....Ed ain't too shabby either...After SAC broke up both Lee and Ed went on to Skynyrd...they all met when LS was the opening act on a couple of SAC tours in the South. Lee was mainly a behind the scenes guy and his wife Jan did the artwork for the Second Helping album cover. Lee passed away on Feb. 14 2010...RIP my little bro.
+The Brave & The Awesome This version of this song is epic with Ed Kings added solos and no piano...One of a kind for sure! Ed King makes that guitar talk ..lol
+Joey Lupo Always enjoyed it when they slowed down a bit and put more blues into this song. Ed King rips that guitar! Ed gave Skynyrd that trademark early sound. Too bad he left so early.
Pre Skynyrd days, Steve Gaines played with Rusty Day in the band Detroit. By the by, JJ Cale was from Oklahoma, not Tennessee, but recorded a lot in Nashville.
Definitely a noticeable void after Ed left and they went with two guitars for a bit. It's like omitting a crucial ingredient from a recipe, you might not know exactly what's missing, you just know SOMETHING is missing. As far as I'm concerned, he WAS the sound behind early Skynyrd.
ed left a huge hole in the sound , all his solos from his epic solo on Sweet Home Alabama to his all his slide guitar work on songs like Don't Ask Me no Question and Railroad song. His great fill in solos instead of the piano on this whole concert 1975 Winterland Concert were great
I honestly really did the period where it was just Allen and Gary. There was something special about just letting Allen loose and him just ripping into solos.
@@Raughwe I think he went from Oklahoma to the L.A. area, like so many did back in those days. I have never heard of JJ Cale being in or around Tennessee.
@@Raughwe No bio I've ever seen mentioned Nashville. Nor did the Eagles, Poco, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, etc.. All were centered in or around Laurel Canyon California. They were in the phony anti-war, hippie creation movement.
@@teerexness "Cale achieved his greatest successes while living and working in Nashville during the 1970s. Among his best-known songs are “After Midnight,” “Call Me the Breeze,” “Clyde,” “The Sensitive Kind,” “Crazy Mama” and “Cocaine.”"
I have to disagree. Rossingtons solo on this is the best rock and roll solo of all time, bar none. Ed King's contribution at 4:26 is not so good, pretty normal at best.
Every one of Lynyrd Sknyrd's guitarist is the greatest guitar player in the band.
Apart for Gary Rossington haha.
Who's playing harmonica ?
@@rizreid8670 Lee Freeman, ex Strawberry Alarm Clock .....
@@stephenpjohnson2866 Thanks
Great song as are all they played. Miss the greatest music ever! 🎶👍
God How I wish I could turn the clock back!
Me too!!
Same here.
Back to January 1974 would be absolutely perfect for a start date.
I'd go with you and grab a dime bag on the way!
Ed King and Steve Gaines were born on the day and year. Miss them dearly.
There no mistaking Ed Kings legendary licks!!
...and sound. He used a Marshall.
RIP Ronnie, Steve, Cassie & Dean- 43 years ago today. You'll be sadly missed. P/S nice work Ed King. Never saw this before!
Best Band Ever.

That's Lee Freeman playing harmonica. A friend of Ed's and a band member with Ed during their Strawberry Alarm Clock days.
I love ED but not as good without Billy's epic piano solo.
Fuken'eh!
Ed is King, but Jesus, there is no one like Gary!!!!
Don't you mean "Jesus is KING" and there is no one like Him? I'm sure both Ed and Gary as well as the rest of the band all would think so !
@@davidroache4699 No, I meant Ed and Gary :P
Rest in peace Gary Rossington. Thank you for your awesome guitar!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT HARMONICA!!
All those thumbs down have holes in their souls
These guys brought the spirit of southern rock to life.thats a high bar.
What a band
Ed King, what a cool dude, RIP brother.
Sorry kids this is real music not this rap pop shit this is AMERICAN music
I first saw them live summer of 1975. National Orange Show Stadium, San Bernardino, CA. They opened for Black Sabbath. Crazy great show
Too bad they tore that place down... it was a very underrated venue... you from Berdoo?
@@charlesbukowski9836 a small plane crashed into it. Unfortunately they decided to demolish it. Yeah born and raised in San Ber’dino as Zappa said. Lol. Are you?
@@davidflint12 Yeah.. its all horrible now.. it used to be just downtown and the West side... now the entire city is like South Central L.A.
@@charlesbukowski9836 I agree
Outside of the Allmans, possibly the greatest band America has produced.
WHOO Ed really made that come alive!
Very good. harmonica very good. good energy from the song. Thank You for sharing
I love Ed's solo at 4:26. I'm gonna try to tab it. Also, it's interesting to note that he is playing a Les Paul for this song.
if you have finished tabbing it, please send me a link i live that solo!
u ever get that tab ?
@@jimmycurry5113I learnt it by ear 3 years ago (played it in a band) but I never tabbed it out unfortunately. I haven’t played the solo since then, so I don’t quite remember how to anymore.
Ed said he traded his les paul for a stratocaster when he joined the band so his tone would stick out....but he also played SGs and Les Pauls......
I live watching Ronny's face when he sings
The greatest
RIP Ed King.
Joined
Knights of Columbus
geez, the riffs that flow outta these guys is amazing......
Ed King and his harmonica friend is ripping it up! Ronnie is so getting into it never heard him do it this well!
Oh my gosh I can hardly stop to dancing at night. I'm so excited so I almost smash my desk
Probably the last footage of Ed as a member of the band, a month after this he was gone.
I wish I used this song last week as a tribute to Ed King!!! Such a great guitar solo!!!❤
Ed kicks it
Every guitarist the BEST. Leon BEST Bass Player Ever ..he and Steve Gaines rock the harmonizing ❤️💋
Steve Gaines was not in Lynyrd Skynyrd at the time. He joined in early 1976...
And the Drummer is awesome
It's a southern Thang...y'all wouldn't understand!!!!
Great cover! Always loved L Skynyrd, but them doin JJ as well.... great!
I wish I had the biggest baddest stereo system in the whole world because I wouldn't need bomb s or gun s I would just need good old boy rock n roll to win any wars 🤔🇺🇸👍
This is real music not what kids listen to
I like this version better than the studio, no irritating horns.
Leon is sooooo cool
Who is jamming on the harmonica. Kicks azz?!!!!!
Lee Freeman is the harmonica player. He played for the Strawberry Alarm Clock along with Ed King.
That harmonica solo!!!
I miss the piano solo from Billy, truly shows his skills, gifted hands!
Some fine stuff here! Great rendition I’m sure made JJ happy…
RIP Hometown boy Gary Rossington
Freeze the video right @ the 4:34 mark ... that is the definition of rock ...
Fuckn' A brother
wonderful , i was 18
This is American music no leftist woke crap
THOSE IN THE BREEZ VIDEO TRULY WISH THEYS STILL HERE !+! NUTHIN FANCY ! BUT ON L Y THE BESTEST BEST !!!
I wonder if the 15 that don't like this are crack heads🤔👍
Holy smokes! Epic
GOD SAYS MR BREEZE FITS ME WELL
Fuck ya Ed King ! and that Harmonica sounded pretty good too .

Was that Rusty Day from CACTUS on the harmonica??? If so, then that makes this the only known piece of video footage of the guy!!!!! XD
+The Brave & The Awesome This version of this song is epic with Ed Kings added solos and no piano...One of a kind for sure! Ed King makes that guitar talk ..lol
Too bad he lived such a violent life.
+Joey Lupo
Always enjoyed it when they slowed down a bit and put more blues into this song. Ed King rips that guitar! Ed gave Skynyrd that trademark early sound. Too bad he left so early.
Lee Freeman from Strawberry Alarm Clock. Ed'd old bandmate.
Pre Skynyrd days, Steve Gaines played with Rusty Day in the band Detroit. By the by, JJ Cale was from Oklahoma, not Tennessee, but recorded a lot in Nashville.
Awesome
Essa música soa com a essência do southern...
I wish I could seen his in concert
Ed King ripping it up!!! Nice
ALRIGHT
There is no good music anymore!
It's odd seeing RVZ without the hat. Never got to see the original band but I did see them in 2019.
Grew up on Homemade
Pete Townshend loved Skynyrd!
Why can't I play Knebworth Call Me the Breeze without it being stopped midway through the song? WTH???
Call Me The Breeze
I keep Blowing Down The Road!!
Wooo.. woo.. uh.. ohh..........
Must Be The Breeze
Noticable void here without Billy
Artimus pyle can play the drums
yes he can. a very under rated drummer!!!
Ok so whos on harmonica since it's not listed?
Cub Coda
Anyone got any idea who is playing that lick at 5:44 ?
Hey just curious... did the harmonica guy play on mississipi kid too?
Best/m

Yea bro they was a wayy tighter band '75 and before

I don’t know man gimmie back my bullets was a great album and Steve gains, in my opinion, was probably the best guitarist to ever play in Skynyrd
@@Abored_Angel_ Ed brought song writing and riffs.... you could tell a difference after he left...
JJ Cale was from Oklahoma, not Tennessee. Doh!
I think Ronnie is saying where he lived at the time.
@@Raughwe I think he went from Oklahoma to the L.A. area, like so many did back in those days. I have never heard of JJ Cale being in or around Tennessee.
@@teerexness He lived in Nashville during the 70's. They all did. They were in the country music business.
