Most of the band died in 77 in a plane crash including the orignal singer. You want the 73' studio version
Most of the band survived the crash. Ronnie, Steve and Cassie died.

Well ronnie was most of the band or let say he was the band
The heart of the band died that day.
@@robwilliams8613it's like saying one guy around you invented the Rubik's Cube with everyone hanging around trying to figure out the Rubix cube but the one guy who can solve it named Ronnie is dead.
From a producer.
@@Kamatcho_99 I guess you don't like the second half of the long version of Free Bird
I love seeing live versions of music, they have subtle changes from a studio recording! The crowd also has a big impact too. ❤🙏
Skynyrd !!!! Let's Go !!!
At this point, this is pretty much a Skynyrd tribute band. When doing any future reactions, nothing after 1977 will do. Original band is where the heart and soul is.
Johnny is there so in a way Ronnie is there so. Not a tribute band
So true, but one thing about Jonny Van Zant is he won't sing Free Bird.
@@Shawn-mo6dh you're right about that
@@Shawn-mo6dh Ronnie was going to have Johnny replace him as lead singer. This isn't a tribute band. Many of the originals played in it until they passed away.
No it isn't! This is what it would be like if Ronnie was alive. People die off unfortunately and Ronnie wanted Johnny to replace him as lead singer.
"Simple Man" is my favorite Skynyrd song. I saw them live in Omaha NE. on their "reunion" tour. It was their first tour following the plane crash in '77. They had Ronnie VanZant's cowboy hat hanging on a microphone stand though out the concert, highlighted by an isolated spotlight. By way of recorded concert footage, displayed on large screen behind the band. Johnny VanZant was able to do a duet with his deceased brother, Ronnie. It quite literally left much of the crowd in tears. It was one of the most moving moments in all the concerts I have attended.
Unfortunately, the band that recorded the studio version of 'Simple man' had (mostly) passed away... So, this live version only has Gary Rossington (guitar) from the original Lynyrd Skynyrd... This is w/ current singer Johnny Van Zant (his late brother Ronnie Van Zant was the original singer, who died in 1977) and Ricky Medlocke (from the band Blackfoot) on guitar... the rest are session members.
Yes, and the voice of Rommie was realy special. You should also listen to the versions before the plane crash.
There was only one Lynyrd Skynyrd band and this isn't it. Closest thing to LS 2 was The Rossington Collins Band.
Medlocke was one of their earlier drummers before he left to form Blackfoot. I think he was the drummer when they recorded "demo" at Muscle Shoals before getting signed that they released after plane crash that had original Freebird, & may have had original Simple Man as well? So he's actually Skynrd alumni!
✌🌎❤
It's Great To See Them Live & This Is An Excellent Song Choice,, But Right After This,, I Would Suggest You Listen To The Studio Version & It Has The Lyrics Too.
Happy Holidays From the Sunshine State of Florida 🌞🌲⛄😁
The USA , like button Illuminated 😀
You sweet angel you get to choose whichever one you want🎉
Might be my favorite LS song. Like you said, a beautiful melody. I find the lyrics pretty emotional too. Good advice all around.
While a lot of young people from my day learn to play guitar to smoke on the water, this was my first song I learned to play on the guitar
I just found your channel and I love your reactions.
Goosebumps
The '73 version is amazing, this is 43 years after the release and sounds like depleted batteries not to mention the faster tempo. One of the greatest songs ever performed, thanks for bringing it to the present.
Hi Verdy. Beautiful songs.
Southern Rock ROYALTY!!!!
This is a good song and the message is so very important
Love Verdy!!
There is a book series of light mysteries ("Grace Under Fury") that involves a vampire named Verdy.
And I love your voice! Your accent melts my frozen heart!
This is not Lynyrd Skynyrd . It is Ronnie's little baby Brother and his Friends clowning around .
Be sure to listen to the original. You won’t regret it.
Powerful, powerful classic song that will be around forever
Doux Verdy,
Toujours ma Québécoise préférée. J'adore cette version car ce sont les gars qui jouent encore les chansons pour les gens. L'original est génial mais c'est donc cette version. Tu as très bien choisi. L'Université de Sherbrooke est une excellente école. Ils ont de la chance de vous avoir.
Merci Barry
Need to turn it up..
That's his little brother.. as others have sais..said... but still a timeless song..
The last original band member, guitarist Gary Rossington, died last week. RIP Gary. 😥
You Air Guitar like someone who plays! I dig your passion for the music 👍thanks 😉
You should hear Chicago's live version of "25 or 6 to 4", one of the greatest guitar solos ever!
They managed to get Vigo the Carpathian to come out of retirement and play guitar. Great stuff. lol
Seriously though. Lynyrd Skynyrd is legendary. Great reaction.
Your channel is great, in my top 3 reaction channels
This is one of Ronnie Van Zant's surviving brothers, Johnny. The band lost Ronnie, and Steve and Cassie Gaines in the October 1977 plane crash. They've since lost Allen Collins (guitar) Billy Powell (keyboard) and Leon Wilkeson. (bass) RVZ was an amazing singer/songwriter/bandleader, who rarely wrote anything down.
He said if it wasn't worth remembering it wasn't worth playing
Hello Verdy! This is almost a different band from the one you saw in the "Freebird" theme, because most of its original members have passed away. JOHNNY VAN ZANT replaced RONNIE,his brother on vocals. Despite everything, they continue to play Southern Rock with that unique magic!! One of my first albums was "Nuthin' Fancy" from 1975, which you would have to listen to!! Greetings from ARGENTINA!!🇦🇷🏆
Many just don't like the band now because of their politics. As I mentioned there is no way that Ronnie would have been any different than Johnny and Donnie politically if he survived. That means Ronnie would have been canceled for his political views. People will say I am wrong but they are full of it.
@@steveheck4348 Hello Steve! I don't think you are so wrong with your thinking. I was talking about how good the band still sounds without putting so much emphasis on the lyrics. I wish you a great year! Hug from Argentina!!
@@albertorodriguez3631 Hello Alberto, Thank you for the reply and hugs back to you from America! I am agreeing with you. Ronnie actually wanted Johnny to replace him as the lead singer. Ronnie was having ongoing problems with his voice. That is water under the bridge because of the plane crash. I brought up politics because some people believe Ronnie would have been different politically than Johnny and Donnie which I don't agree with. The current band is very pro America and Conservative which doesn't play well to the Liberals that populate TH-cam.
Merci beaucoup for your reaction to this song! My favorite 😍
Another song you might enjoy by this band is, Gimme 3 Steps. It’s a fun, upbeat comedy kind of song. I’m enjoying your channel a lot. Especially when you listen to whole albums to get the feel for a particular band & not just a one off song. Keep up the good work! 👍👍😄
The song sounds okay I guess, but I consider anything after the plane crash in 1977 to be a cover song/band and not Lynyrd Skynyrd…
I enjoy your channel - Cheers!
Love this orginal. However, there is a cover of this song by Shinedown that is just as good. I HIGHLY recommend you check it out!
🙋🏼♂️🎄🙋🏼♂️Rory Gallagher Irish Tour ‘ 74 Best guitar player ever🎵
This was after the plane crash and that's not Ronnie singing that, it's his little Brother. NOT THE SAME!!
Govt. Mule with Warren Haynes does a wonderful cover and is in my opinion the best version of this song.
The original line up is best. They do a good job. That’s Ronnie Van Sant’s younger brother. Do yourself a favor and check out the original. Better done by the original. We all love Lynryd Skynrd. If you have a heart.😎
People saying this is a tribute band are full of it. If Ronnie was alive it would have looked similar. Ronnie wanted Johnny to replace him as lead singer. Almost all the original members that survived have passed. When they were alive they played in this band.
I would love to get into the nft market but it's expensive with the gas price alone, something could cost $18 but the gas could be over $400
1 week I've spent 1 eth on gas
That's why i specialize only in crypto trading, i have made up to $10,300 profit and it's been sent to my portfolio every week, Expert Patrick Archie is amazing
I have also been trading with him, the profit are secured if that's your fear, over a 85% return on your investment directly sent to your wallet, I am a living testimony of his work
I'm not surprised because I've made a huge profit
since i started investing with him, crypto trading and
other investment's are very profitable with Mr Patrick Archie
@@brownx5694 How do i reach him?
A great song with a very important message. You will have to react to Call Me the Breeze. I think you'd enjoy it a lot.
This is equivalent to my band playing this song seeing how the original members passed away in 1977….sadly.
Watch the biopic film "If I leave here tomorrow." It show cases all their songs and tragedies.
Don't know if you'll read this Miss Verdy but just like you're exploring Led Zeppelin you can do with this Historic band!
Great job with your reaction and thoughts on Simply Man from Lynyrd Live Performance VERDY if you want to check out and listen to a great Cover of this song check out Shine Down( official Video it came out 13 years ago) or a live performance.
This one sounds better than the original
🤘🤘🤘🤘
U make sense
Great song, Great reaction. In your search for the best talent please add Tobacco Road by Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter(Live) 9:20. And See The Light by Jeff Healey - Night Music 1988, 6:02.
Feliz navidad 🤗
Tribute band basically. imo
Have you tried the Steve Vai instrumental For The Love Of God? The live version with the orchestra is very good.
That's Ronnie Brothers singing Ronnie Van zant was the singer this is his brother singing
Danzig - Mother 93 Live
Try the original version with Ronnie.
0:18 any version past 1977 is the wrong version
listen to their live stuff pre-plane crash.
Do some research and please react to how awesome they were with the line up at the time of the plane crash.
Hey Verdy so you play football/soccer? Then you should do a reaction to "the yellow wall" or also known as Südtribüne Dortmund. These guys are known to be the craziest soccer fans ever. To get a ticket for the "Süd" you need to be a member of Borussia Dortmund and have a place on a long waiting list.
lol...u see how critical every1 is in the comments i trust...it was a long time ago and alot more to the story than peeps want to know or wish to talk about...im a critical listener and i give them a 5 or a 6 on a scale from1-10...even in there prime...the money peeps didnt care as long as the money was comming in...music scene is way diff today...for u miss verdy i would say no...not for you...u r kind in your reaction and im sure the band appreciates it...best wishes...all is well
Check out Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush
Do you need the album version? That’s the best version of that song
React to SEPULTURA - Roots bloody roots
Hello Rachel, joyeux Noël. Si tu aimes ce genre de musique tu peus tenter Blackfoot (dont un des membres joue ici) avec le morceau highway song. Amicalement. Marc.
I love this band and give kudos for keeping it going all these years but reacting to them not as the original isn't a proper representation of who they were. Great song, no complaints
Only Gary Rossington was original member, sadly he passed last year! Stay with pre- plane crash stuff The Real Deal!
Sadly this just isn't the real Mccoy. They are pleasing the fans and that's a tribute to how timeless these songs are.
What hsppened to the fast part at the end, like on the studio version????
Verdy... hi would you please consider doing Jeff Wayne's War of the World album.
Thaxs

This is a wonderful song, unfortunately you chose a version where only Gary Rosington (guitarist in black cowboy hat) is an original member. I would recommend going back and listening to the original. Simple Man is one of my all time favorite Skynrd songs.
If you liked the melody I am suggesting a song from the Scorpions that always reminds me to this song but it is a bit softer and smoother. It is called Always Somewhere. Here is the link - th-cam.com/video/AepjLbcLrJE/w-d-xo.html
Anybody know if this is on Music DVD??
The original studio version has better production qualities and the vocals really add to the overall recording, worth a listen.
Any Skynyrd is great, but this is the later post crash band.
Dire Straits Sultans of Swing Alchemy live
No this is the band formerly known as Lynyrd Skynyrd get the original play it's worth your time
Gary Rossington is the only original hear. Plays a slide guitar 🎸 from the angels 👼.😎
Try Official music video by ZZ Top , Legs and enjoy ...
Most don't like the current band because of their politics. What they are missing is Ronnie would have been the same as Johnny and Donnie politically if he had survived. That means Ronnie would have also been canceled for his politics.
They sound nothing like the RVZ era Skynyrd.
I would like to see you react to Aerosmith: Get Your Wings: I think you would really enjoy it
First time I've heard this version, I hate to say it but it lacks the grit and rasp of the original.
ur so cute 🥰
Listen to the Music - th-cam.com/video/S3ta4T9tIUM/w-d-xo.html
That's Ronnie's brother Johnny Van Zant it's not Ronnie. But, might as well come full circle and make it a family affair and listen to Donnie Van Zant in 38 Special.
I couldn't do it. That's not LS.
Thats a tribute band
This isn't the band that I remember. As a previous commentator, the band was never the same after the plane crash. The studio version is way better.
Next time, listen to the original group. Go back and find concerts from 1977 and back if you want to hear the real thing. It is so much better than what Johnny Vanzant does now. Ronnie's voice is so much more soulful and harmonized so much better. Your really missing out the real Lynyrd Skynyrd! You want the real Skynyrd experience checkout Skynyrd in San Deagio, the year 1977! You will thank me for it!
So why did Ronnie want Johnny to replace him as lead singer?
@@steveheck4348 Ronnie didn't ask Johnny to replace him. He was chosen by the remaining band members after the plane crash.
@@dougpotts167 I read that Ronnie wanted Johnny to replace him as the singer. Of course this was prior the accident. Supposedly Ronnie voice was problematic and he didn't want to be the lead singer anymore.
tu peux avec "x"
Not the original band
only 2 men left in the band rest are hang ons/ Wanna be never was
You do realize you're watching Johnny Van Zant his brother singing Ronnie Van Zant who died in plane crash who wrote this song and who sang and played Freebird and all their other hit songs including; That smell, Tuesday's Gone, Simple Man, Curtis Loew, Sweet home Alabama, I know a little etc.... I got you just listening to the music but you really should School yourself and educate yourself to the background and history of the band who's alive who's dead I'm back now they're all dead Gary rossington just recently died the last original member but Artimus Pyle the drummer is still alive but Judy Ronnie Van Zant's wife won't allow him in the band cuz they're feuding it's such a shame but it would be nice if you knew because of the history on the band
Ricke Medlocke is the only old member still allowed in the band by Judy. RVZ wife he was about to apparently divorce according to Artimus Pyle their last drummer from 70's who survived the fateful plane crash and went for help.....tha5s why your seeing Gary Rossington play guitar here, who also played that amazing slide in Freebird in 77' in one of your previous reactions.
In my opinion this is not even Skynyrd This Version of the band are just riding the backs of the original band in which most died in a plane crash in 1977.
This Version band has made one album since 1977 which was a Flop, but still only play the original bands songs.
Shinedown does a good cover of this as well
🤦
After 1977 it’s not really Skynyrd...it’s just not.
Ugh... Lynyrd wasn't Lynyrd after Ronnie, Steve and Cassie died... listen to the original band please...
