Lynyrd Skynyrd's masterpiece song. One of most iconic songs ever made.
When u have a song that can turn my friend into a fan of this band when he was die hard rock hater I think it's iconic 🤣🤣
@@aidenpostema2225im a 55yr old techno hip hop rap fan and after hearing this im totally hooked on them, I’ve completely changed my music style, now i cant get enough of this type of music 🙏🏻🎼🎸💙🏴
the original working title for this song was "I've got three lead guitar players and I aint afraid to use 'em"
One of the most recognizable guitar solos in rock history.
Triple guitar solo! 🤪
Never heard this version with this ending before, and I've heard this song 500,000 times. Thanks!!
I was thinking exactly the same thing! I always love a recorded studio version of any song over a recorded live version yet Free Bird’s excellent studios version had the unfortunate fade out…..but holy crap….this exists! I am thinking that this is just how they ended in the studio however for some reason the production opted a fade out originally…what a find!
Yes, this is the seldom heard full 10 minute song version. I've heard it before, but never seen anyone react to it.
@@jameslocopo4742 The live version in San Fransisco is the BEST!!!
This version is from 1989's Skynyrd's Innyrds Greatest Hits.
This version is from the greatest hits and my favorite cause of the proper ending, I was always annoyed with the fade out especially when I found out it had an ending. They couldn’t leave the extra minute in there!!?? I know there was room on the record for it
when the music picked up and Tasha said " he's free now" . She gets it! He's flying high.
Welcome to my teen years! I wouldn't trade my 1963 birth for the Fountain of Youth! As a musician, I grew up on the best music EVER! God Bless.
Jan 20th 1962 yes teen in 1970's
March 1963, and yes we had it all right at our fingertips, just snap on the radio and something great would flow out.
Jealous😏 born in 70 by mid teens did a uturn with music and started buying older albums...Zepp Floyd Skyn...aussie bands cold chisel, ac\dc (original) angels, rose tattoo,Billy thorpe and the Aztecs plus many more artists sadly all finished with producing more albums
what makes the solo even better is its 3 guitar players. When I saw them when they done the reunion tour. They did this song they just left to mic on stage and the crowd sang the song. What a great memory. Great song. Great Reaction guys.
FOUR guitars in the SanFransico LIVE version.
yeah, uh it's not a solo if there are two other guitarists lol
Thats because tragically ronnie the lead singer died, along others in a plane crash that the hole band (And company) was in. What a loss
it's mostly Allen Collins. Rossington plays the slide guitar in this one.
this is just allan collins on the solo and gary rossington on the slide. facts.
Free bird and stairway to heaven are considered the best 2 rock songs ever written
Thanks, I was about to write the same thing.
Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to Heaven, Free Bird, Hotel California are the 4 Legends
@@T4CFantasyyou're not lying there
@@jonbaxter4285 then we have Dream On, Dark Side of the Moon...
The best song ever!! I was a teen and this became our anthem.Anthem.
You should see it live y'all!
I agree. The live version in San Fransico is best! SOUTHERN ROCK at its finest y'all!! I've seen them 3 times in the 70's !!
Absolutely. Long live the 70's man. Almost 64 now. Those were the days.
It's great that during the first part of the song, they give hints in the riffs, foreshadowing what's about to come down.
They were an immensely talented and lyrical band. They aren't just shredding, with three guitars they maintain the lyricism throughout and layer in the building tension until that bird finally soars free
Except actual non-racist bands only needed one guitarist to do a great solo.
@@squaaaaak3178racist? Have you never heard the ballad of Curtis Loew? Ignorant comment
Studio version has Gary on the slide at the beginning, but only Allen on the long ending solo.
Lynyrd Skynyrd and David Allan Coe was the only concert I ever went to with my father. RIP Daddy❤️... It was a totally chill concert and everyone was passing joints around in the crowd. I don't smoke but my daddy did and some guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if I want it a hit and I said no and I tap my dad on the shoulder so we switched spots. 😂 Love me some Lynyrd Skynyrd!!! 🤘🤘
Hearing them is one thing. Seeing them live was a totally different experience and if anyone had the chance to see them live, you would never forget. No other band had the energy coupled with talent on stage than these guys. Saw the original band 3 times and very grateful I did.
If you like live performances man, please look up the coheed & Cambria guitar center performance. You'll thank me later
One of the greatest songs, not just rock, of all time!
Bottom line...there has never been & never will be another band like this...the greatest of all time!!!! ❤❤❤
Better than acdc?
@@TheAdventuresofTNT LOL...correction...American band!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT IMO yes. I have nothing against AC/DC, but for me there music isn’t very interesting. I never hear any intricate melodies in their songs, unlike in Freebird (and I’m not even that big of a fan of LS or Freebird).
A great song by a legendary band. One of the best ever all time. Long live rock and roll forever. 🤟🤟. I'm back in high school.
Yep and partying in the woods around a camp fire. Passing the liquor bottle and a doobie around.driving a red chevelle ss
@@bethedmonds9635 I do remember doing that stuff. Thanks for bringing back great memories. 🤟🤟
The song grew as years went by. The incredible concert video from July, 77 features all this plus a very cool piano part by Billy Powell, who was once their roadie... then they discovered he was an accomplished pianist and added him... and piano... to a lot of their songs!
Basically one of the most Legendary songs ever made in Rock. Freeboard is one of those "referenced" songs in popular music culture and back a few years ago, any concert, stage rock show by Anyone even your typical street artist, when they shout to the audience "what do you wanna here?" there is always a good number of people that will yell FREEBIRD! even though they are not Lynyrd Skynyrd or even know their music, simply because it's a Jammin song.
The live version of this of which there are many goes on for at least another 10 minutes is a true testimony to how good this song /band was truly amazing
Oakland 77 live. You will thank all of the others who suggested it. It’s amazing.
NICE!!!! Finally someone reacts to the extended studio version with the original cold ending the band did in the studio, Thank You.
This is the US National Rock Anthem for any American home grown Rock band to learn from. This band was incredible both in studio & live. Do yourself a massive solid and watch this songs performance on 7/2/1977 @- Oakland Coliseum Stadium! It is absolutely breathtaking!!
Watching the live performance of this song in Oakland CA in the 70's is an absolute MUST!!
Without a doubt!!!
It's the best.
It’s really not. The performance at Knebworth, England in 1976 is far superior and has a great backstory.
Fabulous!!! Besides the guitar work…the drummer kicked ass!!! 😅
Nice. You guys should react to the live version. I can’t remember, but I think it’s at a colliseum.It’s amazing to see them performing that solo
Oakland 1977..
@@Isleofskye I thought it was San Fransico. I guess it's the same. Just over the bridge. I saw them in 74, 75, and 76!! Since I'm from Atlanta, I used to see them before that usually hanging out at clubs like Richards.
Agreed. Oakland 77. It’s amazing.
@@JeanetteFaith Hi. It was definitely Oakland, California though, sadly, for this Londoner,1979(2 years after this Concert) was the only time I visited The USA and Canada but it was a wonderful 7 weeks staying, initially, at Anaheim then Frisco, Lake Tahoe, Reno-Nevada, Portland, Seattle and up to Vancouver Island and then across Canada to Montreal and Toronto and Niagara and down thru' New England to Boston and then Chicago and New York.
I will ALWAYS remember California as it was in that golden summer of 1979. Happy New Year:)
@@Isleofskye Yes. Oakland is across the bridge from San Fransico. Sounds like you had a really great trip!!!! Sorry to tell you that California is awful now. Everyone is moving out of there and NYC. Texas and FL are the new states. NC, TN, etc.. also. Too much crime and tents everywhere the eye can see. Urine, Feces, and Needles are everywhere. Pathetic!! The south and southwest are where everyone is moving.
I've seen everyone from Elvis, to the Stones, Led Zeplin, James Brown to Jackson Browne...I've seen well over 200 concerts. The 70's were the BEST! Too bad you didn't come to Atlanta. Lynard Skynard is from Alabama and hung out in Atlanta all the time. Nice chatting! Happy New Year to you as well!
The guitar solo in this song has caused more speeding on the highway than anything in history, it just feels like freedom.
And I think caused a few break-ups. Lol
😂😂
So, i'm old. I was around when this song was being played on top 40 and not the oldies radio stations. And I think this song may be more impactful now. Your reaction shows it. In the old days we didn't appreciate this song as much. It was great and a standout, but there were lots of Rock and Roll songs out there. But you guys nailed it in one sitting. Fresh ears hear the genius. Old ears here the greatness.
This song in concert is EPIC ! They are touring with ZZTOP next year and that is a must see ! Lynyrd Skynyrd is fantastic in concert. !!
Already got my tix!!
Tasha cracked me up. She was freakin’ jammin’. I saw these guys in concert. 1st tour 10 years after the accident. The younger brother Johnny, was the lead singer then, and still is. He sounds so much like Ronnie. They were still amazing. I felt like I was seeing legends…
It's great to hear this again. For years, it was almost overplayed. Radio DJs loved it so they could go take a leak
Lol
I think you spelled smoke a joint wrong. Lol
Riding the Rollercoaster of love. Greatest Song played by the best Rock Band Ever The Real Lynyrd Skynyrd..
"He free now" this lady knows what's up
This song is famous for being shouted at bands as a request, regardless of genre, usually to the chagrin of the band. When I was in an orchestra, at a quiet moment during one of our rehearsals, I shouted "FREEBIRD!"
The fire and fury in the faces of the rest of the orchestra was hilarious! Hahaha!
Ronnie VanZant was on the greatest song writers of all time. Its impossible to tell how much great music we lost out on when he died..
Oh goodness, when you said the bit about being in a Firebird and hair blowing, I had to laugh because I was a teenager in the 70s, and Skynyrd songs always, always remind me of flying down a Georgia backroad in my boyfriend's Trans Am, windows down, T-tops out, with Southern Rock blasting. I had my big Farrah Fawcett hair, cut off jeans and halter top on, lol! I'd give just about anything to go back to those lazy summer Southern days.
Allman Brother's "Jessica" has a great guitar lick, also.
One of the greatest bands ever! Legends!!💯💯💯💯
'Free Bird'... Outlawed at guitar shops everywhere! 😏 (Too many budding guitarists learn it early and shop-keeps have heard it too much. I guess there is something to be said for too recognizable...) 😁😄
I wish folks doing reactions to this song would use the live performance... it's a beautiful thing to actually see the musicians getting into the music.
One of the very most played rock songs of all time IMO. For good reason.
1970's: great song
2010's: church fight
2020's: spinning rat
2023: great song
I was fortunate enough to see Lynyrd Skynyrd on their last tour in Anaheim, California one of the greatest nights of my life. Well beyond and greater than when I got married. You should’ve played the live version in Oakland that’s the show I saw in Anaheim check it out, it won’t let you down.
What I love about this band's name is that it's a play on the name of their gym teacher, Leonard Skinner. :)
You should check out some of Thin (pronounced Tin) Lizzy's stuff. Simply because the frontman was a mixed race guy, in Ireland, in the sixties. He was once asked what it was like to be black and Irish and famously replied, "A bit like paint of Guinness." :D
All-time classic guys...it's a rock cliche when a band asks the crowd for a song--yell FREEBIRD.
This is the first time I've heard the extended ending. I understand now why they do that in the live video. I bought this album originally in the 70s and that version on the LP (The regular released version) fades before that final ending of the last minute or two. This must be from a later special edition collection album of previously unreleased versions. Because this extended mix was never available to any of us publicly back in those days and it certainly wasn't on the LP or what the album stations would play. Very cool hearing this version for the first time
This song came out when I was 17. I’m 67 now; it just keeps getting better!!!
One of those songs I wish I could go back and listen to for the first time all over again. CRANK IT UP!!!
It's really funny most people do not know that Lynyrd Skynyrd was the first Southern Rock band that used three lead quality guitarist 1. Gary Rossington, 2. Allen Collins, an in the last year before the plane crash 3. Steve Gaines. Gary Rossington is that slid lead at the beginning and Allen Collins was the lead soloist with Steve Gaines doing the middle lead to the solo at the end. And we can't leave out the bassist Leon Wilkinson and Drummer Artimus Pyle with Bill Powell on keyboard. Ronnie VanZant built that band and he was the force behind it all. If there is anything you want to know about Skynyrd feel free to ask because I know this group inside and out top to bottom. I'm 65 years old so I was raised on Southern Rock such as LS and a host of others.
Saw them play this live years ago; watching the 3 guitarists playing off each other was breathtaking.
It always amazes me how bands form and then come up with such iconic songs. They don't know it at the time, but the creative process yields some amazing results. This is definitely a top tier classic!
Fan of the band or not, this song is a masterpiece
It is amongst the Pantheon of Rock and Roll Greats
This version is about a minute and a half longer then the one most people have heard. It replicates what they do on stage, live.
Mama digging it! This is the GOLD STANDARD of classic rock!
If there were a video made of this song, the vocals would be filmed in a house with his lady there, and the instrumental would start when he gets in his truck and starts hauling ass down the road! LOL!
Tasha gets it....Watching her jam out is great...
I never tire of listening to this masterpiece. Good Choice!
Best guitar solo in classic rock history!!! 🔥
No matter what you like you can’t sit still when the boys are jamming. Love your reactions
You guys nailed it, it’s really a freeee bird. Wonderful
I agree with Tasha, 'he wasn't sad' 😄😂🤣😆
I'm surprised it wasn't reacted to even sooner! It's such a classic, also I haven't heard that extended outro
Great reaction guys! The live version, in 1977 in Oakland CA, should not be missed.
''GIMME THREE STEPS'' Has to be listened to. Loved jamming on it in my touring days. Loved playing it!
Delightful and insightful reaction. Yall see it all clearly here today decades later and that's testament to the high quality of this bit of rock and roll art.
There are a couple of albums and songs that were so great that I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard them. This is one of them... February 1975, I walk into a friends house in Marquette, MI and the first words out of his mouth are...Dave! You gotta hear this song! In fact I remember his stereo set up... Sansui 6060 receiver, Pioneer HPM-150 speakers, and a Dual 1219 turntable... Classic never goes out of style!
They were my 1st concert at 15 yrs old. Love FREEBIRD, it's one of my funeral songs
..."Class of 76"...This riff never ended.....They're still playing it right now!
One of the Finest from the Incredible Skynyrd Band 🎸💙
It was two lead guitarists in that solo and the rhythm in the background
Allen Collins, the lead guitarist, was a teenager when he wrote the music for what became Freebird.
Killer song, the longest rock and roll solo I've ever heard. Real free as a bird!
Freebird isn’t just a song, it’s a journey
This sounds was recorded in 3614 when the Swampers were recording some of the most iconic songs ever. Free Bird 🐦 is the singuitur song for Lenard Scinard.
Tasha is quite funny and was spot on intuitively with some of her comments on both the guitarist and his flow and energy as well as the subtext of the song. Fun commentary. Good luck, y'all.
This band is in its own category of music, Southern Rock would be the closest to an accurate description.
They were powerful before the plane crash killed three band members including the lead singer Ronnie VanZant. The other members of the band were seriously injured.
Ten years later they reformed with his brother Johnny Van Zant.
They still are amazing.
The way you guys were into the song and the sound is the absolute correct response to a phenomenon of a song.
Great Song. Was the high-lite of concert I saw in Waikiki in 77. Lighters all over the place for this one!
Also, Radio DJ's loved songs like this. They got a break that lasted long enough for whatever...
Greatest Southern Rock Ballad Ever!
Period... Nuff Said!!!
nice reaction! The live video from the Oakland Coliseum will absolutely blow your mind!!
The Oakland Coliseum 1977 video of this song is a freakin eye opener and must see if you enjoy their music. My jaw drops every time at their phenomenal stage presence and showmanship on top of all that top tier musical talent. Please watch it. A reaction to that would be awesome.
The opening line of If I Leave Here Tomorrow was a line by guitar player Allen Collins girlfriend and she asked him that question one day when they weren't getting along.
I’ve watched a number of reactions to this song and one thing that gives me a chuckle is that they all talk about how good the guitar solo is at the end.
What’s funny is it’s not a solo. It’s a 3 man jam. Probably the best 3 man guitar jam ever. That’s how good the musicians in this band are because at times it does sound like one monster guitar solo. These three guitarists were so good they could make it sound like one. Go back and listen to it again and you’ll see what I mean.
When you get a chance, watch the live version. Epic.
Music stores should have a "No Free bird" sign instead of "No Stairway." This guitar work is CRAZY!!
You got a check out the live version, it’s crazy and it’s packed to the rafters
You two were feelin that!🎸😁
I have never, ever heard that ending before. I've listened to this song about a million times, and I do not know that recording. That's crazy.
Tuesday's Gone with the Wind is probably one of their best even though it's a ballad. Just didn't get the air time like Freebird. Remember, back in the day, it was all about air time until you bought the album. Can't lie, surprised that you guys enjoyed it. Back in those days, music was about real composition, not like today.
You got to love when the Guitarist's sings the song
They were amazing in concert.
I've watched a lot of reactions to this song. Y'all got it! When the young lady said " They Jammin". That's exactly what they are doing. It's not really a guitar solo. It's JAMMIN!! Thanks for your reaction.
Love me some Skynyrd!!! They take ypu a jammin' journey! 💜
1977 Oakland Coliseum. Live. Just to watch band members play is awesome. It's worth the time to react to this live
In the early '70s I was laying in bed late at night listening to FM radio and this song came on. Needless to say, I was so awake and wired that I couldn't sleep for hours afterwards.
Thank you for this. Their music sounds better live
Cool to finally get this
I love these reaction videos. You guys are experiencing what we experienced 50 years ago. Fly on proud bird!!
Saw them in 1975. Fantastic concert!
Now you've got to get deep into their music. Get it man!
Watch their live video performance on stage. Wow!!!! Rock N Roll Anthem! I saw them live in Houston early 70's. The guitars, the drums, the piano!! 😳😳😳 Wow!!!
Allen Collins wrote free bird when he was 17!
This is the USA theme song . As a Native American, I'd proudly wave a southern flag . Even though they were from Florida this song is the ultimate. Russia, UK, Philippines, don't matter , this song is the epitome of the red white and fucking blue. Even black folks can recognize the best guitar solo they've ever heard. This song unites races . Just listen to that solo
