This was 3 months before Ronnie Van Zandt (lead singer), Steve Gaines (guitarist with the goatee), and Cassie Gaines (backup singer) passed away in the plane crash.
People should watch documentary video on them. Some of the things Ronnie has been quoted as saying, even as a little boy to his dad or getting on that plane, is kinda eerily prophetic.
RIP Ronnie, Steve and Cassie
@@proudarmymom8657 RIP all of Skynyrd.
Ronnie said he'd never make it to 30, he died at 29 years, 3 months shy of his 30th birthday.
The best die young.
Yeah I was gonna say this. Seen many documentaries on this. But this was one of the last live performances recorded. And in it they point out Ronnie’s look at Gaines as one of admiration. And because King had just left the group. And Ronnie didn’t know if he’d be able to replace him. Then Cassie said how about my brother. And it was this show that sold Ronnie on Gaines and that he made the right decision. He wasn’t sure before this.
This is why folks who grew up in the 1970s say we had the best music. No sampling, no autotune, every band member played an instrument, and no synchronized dancing and lip-syncing.
Amen to that!!
Im a 90s kid. Music definitely peaked in the 70s. Much more dynamic, substantive, emotive, and just all around better. Still love my 90s music though.
100%
The album play was was much better than digital recorded music too. They recorded stereo with left & right positioned microphones, and edit from there. Put on a Stones or Zeppelin album and turn down one speaker.
60s - 90s - 70s
Back than we could put 150,000 people together and never have a problem. Anywhere in the country.
Funny how that worked.
Because the people were there for the music!!Love ❤❤
Omg @dmead4106 @The2ndfirst @louisjohnson7273 he isn’t enjoying this Deep South confederate flag loving Lynyrd Skynyrd boomer music. It’s a trend allover YT tiktok etc where black reactionary channels watch the whitest boomer music ever pretending to enjoy it. And 150,000 together with no problems anywhere in the country? Were half of them black? Now go find another black creator listening to Journey Queen hey maybe even Charlie Daniel’s .. be proud you're a Rebel cause the south's gonna do it again 😂😂😂
Still can if they are all white
@@The2ndFirstWeed!
Fun fact: They opened for a rolling stones concert, and the stones requested they not play freebird, they did anyways, blew the roof off the place, and left the stones there to try and top that
I believe they also got into a little trouble over going out onto the tongue of the stage
My dad JUST text me and said that was the best version at Knebworth
Lucky guy to see that 1 live!@@hollyschussler7657
They also told ronnie to stay of the tongue. So ronnie took leon..gary...steve and allen out on the tongue. Dont tell a southern man not to do some thing
It was the music festival at Knebeworth Park in England and Skynyrd played right before the Rolling Stones were to come out and close the music festival.
Ronnie Van Zandt was not told they could not play Freebird, what he and every other band that preformed that day was told by the manager of the Stones was not to go out on the trademark tongue shaped portion of the stage.
Ronnie Van Zandt, being Ronnie Van Zandt was, F that no one tells me what I can amd can't do when I preform. So when the guitar solos start during Freebird, Ronnie leads all his guitarist and bass player out on the tongue portion of the stage as a F you to Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.
The video is on TH-cam and you can see Ronnie looking off stage at Jagger assumingly or maybe the Stones manager with a F you look on his face.
No cell phones, people living in the moment. Beautiful
No cell phones or BRAS!!
@@gregorysimmers no bleached blondes, hardly any makeup, a much simpler time. I miss it
@@kelleebowers8525
We all do but at least for the first time, the past enhances the present.
There actually were some bleached blondes prominently shown in that audience - but certainly no purple, green, blue or pink hair, no tattooed girls, nothing pierced except their ears!
All of those hotties are today's grandmas and great grandmas.
Including me, argh!
Never said you weren't still a hottie@@janetd8198
I wonder how many of these girls have viewed the video ( has millions of views ) of that July Day in 1977 at the Oakland Colesuim and recognized themselves going wild that day. I remember these outdoor rock concerts of those days, and this is what it looked like. Skynyrd was my favorite band in those days and still is today. I and some buddies were going to see them, I believe, in November 1977, at the Wings arena in Kalamazoo, MI. Of course tragedy intervened in a most horrific way. I have seen brother Johnny's version a couple of times. This past early October a client sent me to Denham Springs, LA. On the way back I stopped off at the Crash site memorial outside of Gilsburg, MS, a most sobbering experience indeed.
I was 1 of them.. lol ❤
I guarantee someone was conceived after that concert
No sampling...no auto tune...no AI. Pure talent!
Best way to listen to this song? In your car, windows down, sound all the way up, and cruisin on some back roads.
Dirt roads are a must.
ask devils rejects lol
Through Niles Canyon in a convertible mustang... Full moon on a summer night. Happy times.
When I was in highschool. The only two Lynyrd Skynyrd songs I knew was Sweet Home Alabama,and give me Three Steps. For whatever reason I had no interest in listening to them. Then in April of 95. I was working at a lumber mill in East Spokane Washington. It was the day of the Oklahoma City bombing. I had about an hours drive home. I was feeling kinda of sad. A friend of mine,had left a Lynard Skynyrd cassette in my car. It had been in there for a couple of weeks. I hadn't listened to it yet. I popped it in. It was the live album. I heard voice coming through my speakers saying what do you want to hear? Someone shouted Free Bird. Up until this point I had never heard listened to the song. It started playing. Right from the moment. I heard the piano. I knew this is something I am going to like. I listened to the entire song. Thinking this was the most thing I had ever listened to. I was actually crying. When it was finished. I wasn't sure why. I thought maybe because of Oklahoma City bombing. I couldn't say. Until this day. When Free Bird comes on. I start to well up with tears. That is what music can do. It make you feel emotions, good and bad. Long live the great Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!
PS. I ended up buying all thier albums afterwards, and I became a big fan. In 2004, I was on stage with the band at Fort Hood TX, a welcome home ceremony. I along with myself and four other soldiers, were brought on stage by Stone Cold, he threw us a beer 🍺, and we chugged it. We left the stage, and Lynard Skynyrd went and played Free Bird right afterwards. No just kidding. They played Sweet Home Alabama. I know it didn't have all the original members but it was cool. I got a few of their autographs, and pictures taken.
I was at this show there were over 60,000 screaming fans singing along with this song. You must remember at this show Lynyrd Skynyrd was not the head liner that was Peter Frampton . Skynyrd stole the show and a large part of the crowd left about 2 songs into Frampton. We lost Ronnie and the others in the band a few months later but as a Teen ager of that time this was a Anthem for our times!
Exactly!!! I remember being there.
It was a shame they lost Ronnie Vanzant! So young😢
Y'all are so fortunate to have been at this show. It's incredible.
I saw them in Philadelphia and the same thing we all left when Frampton came on August of 77
Oh ok..Frampton. That explains the over abundance of chicks in the audience. I didn't know that.
And that was us! Welcome to our concerts from the 70's! They were more fun than you can ever imagine. ☮️ ❤️ 🎶 🎸 🎶
On the drums is Artemis Pyle. He survived the crash,and was my neighbor for a year when I lived in Jacksonville Beach,back in 1989. He was a decent,down to earth guy,in a working class neighborhood,raising his kids and hanging out with a bunch a hippies drinking Busch beer🤣😂
God bless Artimus Pyle.
He has the BEST working Skynyrd tribute band working today!
Love Artimus!
Possibly the greatest live performances of all time!
It is the best performance of all time.
Im 53 and i still cry when i hear this version of this song.😅😂😢
I’m 45 and me too man, this is my childhood. Both my parents cried the morning they woke up and the radio announced the plane crash and deaths of members of the band.
I’m 63 and it’s still on my playlist for favourite tunes
One of the best guitar solos of all time!!!
Wow my generation was blessed with the best music of all time ❤
Without a doubt
The guitarist in white was the late, great, Allen Collins. He survived the plane crash with a severe arm injury, in fact the doctors wanted to amputate it, but his father persuaded them not to. He continued with problems for the rest of his life, was paralyzed in a car accident in which his girlfriend died. He passed away from pneumonia in 1990.
What a great guitarist!!!
FREEBIRD is a CLASSIC! One of the best rock anthems EVER!! 🤟🏼
The bird chirp was a nod to Duane Allman who was an inspiration to many guitarists. He played a mean slide guitar. Eventually they dedicated the song to Duane's memory.
Sounded ridiculous
@@ciararespect4296 seriously?
AB very perceptive of you to notice the guitar/bird is crying. The Bird Chirp is the sound of the trapped bird who breaks free and joins the other free birds (guitars).
@@marykuettner752 yes. Seriously.. First I heard the weird chirp out of place with the music thenI listened to the whole song and can't see the big deal.?
It just sounds like a bit of old country music then later a bit of cheesy piano followed by a bit of rock guitar nothing particularly innovative like say stairway to heaven or hotel California /bat out of hell? . A load of long haired skinny hick type people jumping about on the stage 😂
Incredible the big crowd especially a lot of girls and women. I suppose everyone lives in the zeitgeist of their time? And don't necessarily know any better
Just proves to me you can make any old sound and if it becomes popular and played enough then people will like it regardless
@@ciararespect4296 well, the reason it was so important musically is the introduction of the three guitar lineup, and the intricate line they are playing. I understand that not everyone has an ear for what is happening here. Certainly the lyrics aren't earthshaking.
Doesn't mean though that this isn't an important piece of musical history and that these aren't three of the best guitarists in the world. If you don't hear it then you don't.
Yes we still remember you Ronnie
That was the era when girls wore “Tube Tops” and “Halter Tops”. Those are due to come back in style. 😂 It was a great time to be alive!
I really missed the seventies my teen years
Yes it was
they are all grandmothers now
@@billwalker7556 and probably still smokin’ hot! 🔥
@@stevenewcomer8837 probably
People weren't ready for three guitars playing together. Two is fairly common, a lead and a rhythm guitar, but three, THREE guitars! And that bass player that came up to the front to play the line with them was also beastly.
The great Leon Wilkinson on bass.
Ronnie Van Zant "What song is it you want to hear?" The crowd "FREEBIRD!!!" Now you know why. And in broad daylight to boot.
Helps to bear in mind this song was their second top 40 hit in 1973 - nearly 5 years before this show, so the song had picked up enormous momentum as the band continued to put out more and more hits - including Sweet Home Alabama. So the reaction you see from this crowed is no one-time anomaly! Skynyrd began playing Freebird as their encore closing song, knowing full well they'd get this reaction. I saw LS a year earlier at RFK stadium in Washington DC in May 1976, and the crowd reacted just like this one! Skynyrd - with their triple-guitar attack - was something to see live to believe! ;)
Probably one of the greatest rock songs and solos of all time! Freeeee Bird!!!! Love it!!!! The 70’s Rocked and I was there to hear it all!
Dito
- Extended jams w/ multiple lead guitars is standard in Southern Rock.
- Your "jaw-dropped" bewilderment was a joy to watch :D
- "Freebird" is considered by many to be the ultimate Southern Rock song.
- LS has LOTS of great songs, but there are other great Southern Rock bands, too - and since you liked "Freebird", check out "Green Grass and High Tides" by "Outlaws" (more extended jams!).
- Enjoy...
Titts are flying. I'm bi, prefer two.
Sorry, not just Southern Bands. No disrespect. I saw the original Skynyrd. They had so many amazing songs. I feel so lucky to have been in that era where live music was so amazing! RIP to the greatest bands ever.
Green Grass and High Tides is a absolute must !
Great recommendation, definitely two of my favorites.
15 yrs old and I was there
Welcome to how we grew up
I saw them several times in the 70's, they would play this til the tiles fell off the ceiling 😂 all those girls are grandma's now😂😂
Dude, those girls are probably great grandma's now! It's been 50 odd years since that concert! Ifmost of those girls were at least 17, at 67 they could have 3 generations under them easily!!😂
@@lornadavis476 I'm 65 but not a great grandma yet🤣🤣
@@tammyjackson3113 I'm 75 and just a grandma also.
Now everyone talks about that guitar solo, and rightfully so since it is the greatest solo ever, but my god that bass player was hanging with those guys the entire way!
Leon was a badass
I just LOOOOVE seeing peoples facial expressions when they hear Freebird for the 1st time! They ALWAYS go from *ok this is nice* to *ok I wasn't expecting that* when the tempo changes, to *holy crap what just happened?????* 🤣 Lifelong Skynyrd fan since I was a baby. First ever gig I went to (dad took me as a kid), seen them 3 times & each time I've cried with joy when Freebird comes on. It's my fave song of all time & is in my will as the song to be played at my funeral & I've informed my family & friends if they don't rock out to it I will come back & haunt them! 🤣
@sylvialee1079 @avnrulz @flick14 @faithtalkforum @dmead4106 omg do you think this young black creator is actually enjoying Freebird? Do you Boomer folk know how many black creator TH-cam channels there are reacting to boomer 70’s nostalgia? Hundreds! More! There have been so many articles written about this phenomenon. It’s a fake world. A world where white viewers cultural world is given affirmation through a young black person’s eyes. Complete with oh yeahs at your favorite guitar solo • nodding and smiling while watching • the amazing look on his face as he discovers “your” favorite part of the song • the ❤️ on your comments.
More power to this dude. Making money off of y’all’s ignorance. Hey maybe he really is the one young black creator truly into Freebird.
Listen if it gets all you Boomers (respectfully said) to enjoy each other’s comments and think back to your youth then enjoy. Buy do not believe he’s liking this music.
Fun fact : the band did a show at a small bar and it was raining outside the roadies could not load out the gear. Billy who was a roadie at the time said if I had to play freebird this is how I would play it. He then sat down at the piano and played the part you hear in the song . The band hired him as a part time piano player and then made him a full time member of the band. ( according to Gary Rossington [ guitar player who plays the slide on this song ] )
He was their roadie and had no idea that he was a trained pianist. Like classically trained professional pianist.
Funner fact: Most of those cats grew up together in the same neighborhood.
It wasn't a small bar. In 1972 Lynyrd Skynyrd was hired to play music for the prom at The Bolles School which was a private prep school/Jr. College in Jacksonville Florida. Billy had started working as a roadie for the band about a year and a half earlier and it was at the prom when during set up Billy saw a piano in the corner he hopped on and started playing FreeBird thinking he was alone. Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington heard him play it and immediately invited him to join the band even though the band had never had a piano player up to that point. They knew he was a talented musician but had never considered having a piano due to the genre being Southern Rock. They also had never heard him play before that. But it wasn't at a bar, and it wasn't raining outside which caused a delay for the "roadies". It was just a prom. Billy hopped on that piano and right onto the back of music history.
@@patrickbrinkmeier1858 who is Lynyrd skinner? A tribute band to Lynyrd Skynyrd???
@@calbowman4588 . Stupid auto correct on my keyboard.
I was 16 and went to hang out with relatives staying at Marriott in Miami. In the lobby suddenly the band comes walking in. My cousin and I followed them to the elevator and rode up, they were on our same floor! Later we went to the pool and they all showed up. Cousin and I stayed in the large jacuzzi trying to be nonchalant. Artemis came into the jacuzzi and I was so nervous and shy I started poking my finger in the jets above the water and I accidentally sprayed a stream of water into His face! Little did I know when I went to the concert the next day that it would be one of their last. Só sad 😞
Artemis is the only one still living.
Back then I was in my 20's...got to see a lot of bands back then. We didn't realize how magical that time was, it was our norm.
The drummer Artimus is the only one alive
Yipppeee!!!🥳🥳🥳🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🎧🎹🥁🔥🔥🔥 About six weeks after this concert, the grounds crew found tons of pot plants sprouting in the outfield!!🤣🤣🤣
😅😅
That's hilarious!
Perfect! Lol
Was this recorded in San Fransisco or Oakland?
@@patsstuffclark9522 Oakland Coliseum July, 2 1977.
The Netflix documentary is awesome. Gary Rossington said in it that they displayed the Confederate flag because they were southerners. They thought that's what the flag meant. He said they were not trying to make a racist statement at all. This group had as much or more talent that just about any other band.
I saw them September 2019. I bought tickets as a surprise to my husband for Valentine’s Day that year. He passed away in July so my son went with me. This was the last song they played at the concert. I completely lost it because he was my free bird watching over me.
And not one iPhone.. when ppl went to concerts and were really THERE.. and not texting or posting to social media during the performance.
This I what I want played at my Funeral. As my ashes are spread while the guitar solo goes off
No fighting no trouble a very
Happy crowd
In my opinion the greatest live performance of all time. I think maybe because the horrible plane crash was only three months later. I feel so blessed to have enjoyed this band prior to that. RIP 🪦 to all the band members. Solid rock and they did it the right way. ✌️😎🤘
This is part of the soundtrack of my youth.
Greatest guitar performance ever. I was waiting for your facial reactions.
Fun fact:
The name Lynyrd Skynard came from a school teacher of Ronnie’s. The teacher Mr. Leonard Skinner was extremely proud of them.
Billy Powell played piano on kid Rocks All Summer Long
I didn’t know that!
He's awesome. He is who I wish I could emulate on the piano. His style just does it for me. R.I.P. BP. 😪
If you listen to the song again, the drums actually speed up throughout the song. It just seems to accelerate suddenly!
yes, you did break, and your reaction is 100% perfection, speechless, with your mouth wide open, bc of how perfect this song is.
that's how a reaction to this live video should be
I agree
Absolutely the best song from the 1970’s. The guy in the white suit was Allen Collins. And…we didn’t have sunscreen back then!
But we girls had baby oil with iodine mixed in.
This was one of the best bands and songs ever!!!!!
TIL the piano intro in Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" was composed by their roadie, Billy Powell. When he played it for them, he was promoted to band member on the spot.
This happened before sunscreen was invented! Great reaction!
not only was sun screen not a thing...we put baby oil on us to try and get a better tan.
I was born in '72. We had sunscreen, but it only went to spf 4 back then, and no one knew (or thought) to reapply at regular intervals. Plus, getting a tan was popular back then, so most people avoided sunscreen, opting for oils instead. My mother used to put sunscreen on me all the time when I was a kid. By the early 80s, spf went up to 6, then 8. Her back was probably peeling like crazy. Ouch.
What makes "Free Bird" a unique song is the fact that it's both a slow dance song, and a head banging song.
I have watched this video many times though the years ...Awe Lynyrd Skynyrd...man closest thing to the real feel of the 70's you can get...takes me home.Thanks for sharing.
Spot on. “Closest thing to the real feel of the 70’s…”
Yes sir,that is the correct facial expression after hearing that kick ass jam session!🥁🎹🎸🎛🎙🎶😎🤘😁
Those definitely were the best times listening to rock.😅
One of the best guitar tunes ever.
Three lead guitars and base. Dueling guitars. Piano, drums. SINGER, Ronnie Van Zant.Back up singers.Together..... magic! This was just a few months before the plane crash that killed lead singer Ronnie, one of the guitarists, a backup singer( the sister of the guitarist ) and both pilots.Sevierly injuring the rest of the band. I still remember hearing the news.😊
I'm a California girl, and we lived for a sun tan. We loved the sun. And it's not so hot that it was intolerable. I saw them at the Dodger Stadium, same tour, same month. Great concert, beyond great. :)
Saw them TWICE, FOR ME THE BEST LIVE SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN!! 😍🐐🎸🔥😢😢😢
Absolutely hands down, the best rock and roll song ever
Now that my friend is real music playing! PRICLESS!!
I saw LS 3 times. Always in the "floor" crowd. 😂 They were great! Your expression during the guitar solo was funny.😂 Great reaction, thanks! 😊 Other good ones by them are Gimme Three Steps, Tuesdays Gone, Simple Man, Call Me The Breeze, Sweet Home Alabama. There are lots more.
Some of the greatest guitar work in rock history!...🤘🤘🤘
It was very common to go see live bands in clubs with people yelling "Free Bird!!!".
Still is sir.
I still yell FREEBIRD at every concert including orchestra concerts. There’s one in every crowd 😎
@@toejamtom60 You sir, Are a hero.
Best rock song of all time! 2 dueling lead guitars rocking the house
One of the top 10 greatest Rock & Roll songs ever!
All guitarr players are great but Allen Collins was one of a kind
We stayed sun burnt all summer during the outdoor concerts. We stayed in our bathing suits and daisy dukes.
And the crowd goes wild!!!😂
All 4 guitar players stayed on it the whole time.
another great live performance is Chicago "25 or 6 to 4" live Tangelwood.
I know how privileged I was as a teen great music, acid and free wheeling lifestyle. It was long hair both men and woman. They and those other great bands were the best. You don't and won't ever hear music this spectacular.
They are the greatest southern rock band, the greatest front man/singer/songwriter of all time.
That reaction, is how music should, make you feel.
The GOAT of guitar solos, period.
There's another live version that focuses on the band more, not the crowd, that really showcases the 3 guitarists riffing back and forth between each other
Link?
@@ddb3126. I believe it is this one where they opened for The Stones
th-cam.com/video/vm7bkVxBXdA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OABvlGi4KAdWcoX0
Look up: Freebird Live - Knebworth. They opened for The Rolling Stones.
Best rock song EVER!!!!❤
Class song! You know a ton of those attending went home with bad sunburns, lol. 70s Southern Rock at its finest.
Yeah back then we used baby oil and no-sunscreen versions of Coppertone or Hawaiian Tropic! What little sunscreen existed was powered to 4 at best but nobody wanted it - didn’t hear of 15 SPF till the ‘80s and 30 SPF till the late ‘80s or early ‘90s.
Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my absolute favorites. It's so good.
Also the under-appreciated "Four Walls of Raiford" and "Mr Banker". The former is more stripped down instrumentally, because they didn't fully produce it or put it out until after Ronnie died.
Simple man is my favorite..
And Simple Man ❤
Couldn't fly those rebel flags in Oakland today.
True. Oakland is way too gay.
Loved seeing them in concert. I gotta say it was a #1 song. Brings tears to my eyes when my husband had a freebird on his upper arm. He is in heaven now. Miss the best moments we shared. Died of cancer 2017.
Thank you! 65 year old great grandmother loving your reaction!! You just witnessed the guitar army at work! Thank you for the memories!
Dude, the "Star Wars" thing is a bird chirping 😂
I only wished they showed more of the guitarists during that solo, instead of showing the crowd for what felt like 80% it, including during the climax of that dual guitar solo.
Loved the Crowd.Really showing the appreciation.
One of the greatest songs of all time every American about this song
Made me smile on a week that I could use one 😁 And you ain't lyin about that Blonde with the Sunburn 🤣 Great reaction, glad you like some great Southern Rock and arguably the greatest solo in Rock. Have a Blessed One ✌🙏
Some serious OJ splashing all over
I wish Allen Collins was still playing that guitar solo, unfortunately the only man on that stage who is still alive is Artemis Pyle, the drummer. Allen Collins spent the last few years of his life paralyzed from a car accident, he died in 1990. As other comments have already said, lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, and guitarist Steve Gains (one with the shorter hair), died in a plane crash shortly after this performance. Billy Powell (pianist) died of a heart attack in 2009 and Gary Rossington (the guitarist playing the slide) died almost a year ago. For a Floridaman like me, Skynyrd is next to God, but their greatness is clouded in tragedy.
"Legend has it, that brother is still playin the guitar". That man is Allen Collins, he wrote most of Freebird along with lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. In fact the first line of the song, "If I leave here tomorrow.. would you still remember me?" was something that Collin's girlfriend told him, which inspired him to write the song. Collins did survive the plane crash which killed 3 members of the band including the lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. However on January 23rd, 1990, Collins died of chronic pneumonia. In 2006, he was added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a part of Lynyrd Skynyrd where his famous yellow Gibson Firebird electric Guitar sits on display. He will always be playing in our hearts ❤️.
Welcome to the party pal! God I miss the 70's!
The look on your face is priceless!
The blonde in the yellow bikini was probably in pain for a couple of weeks. I expected her back to burst into flames. Not that I blame her, this performance was worth enduring a bad sunburn.
Haha😂 We rocked our asses off in the 70's!
Music is the universal language.
At least, the "spaceman in the white suit", as you call him, had the smarts of wearing all white with long sleeves.....no sunburn there !!
Greatest Jam Out session of all time !! Case closed !
Just subscribed. You didn't talk all the way through it. Thank you. You look like you really enjoyed it, and didn't ruin the song by chiming in every 30 seconds.
It's a great song. I saw it live in the late 70's. It was about 22 minutes long in that concert
Southern rock at it's finest.
LOL I'm thinking that most of those girls jammed up front were there to see Peter Frampton, who followed Skynyrd, and closed the whole concert
Frampton was huge.
Then why were they going crazy when the guitar solo started ?
Free Bird was the anthem of the 70's...
Skynyrd has much much better music than Frampton.. it's not even comparable.
Greatest jam out of all time ! Frampton couldn't follow that.. He was cool for a few years,but he's not on Skynyrd's level..
@@michaelb.3982You can enjoy two different bands. You can be there for Frampton, but also enjoy the hell out of the Freebird solo because it just kicks that much @ss. I happen to like the music of both of them. I have also been goth since I was 15 yrs old in '87. We women are capable of liking a variety of music at once.
Loved the reaction and You, brother! The 2 guys in the crowd, passin' one near the end, sums up that era. 🙂 Keep rockin'! Peace
Allen collins absolutely shredded one of the best solos ever!🔥
I saw them live and had my mouth open like you the whole time. Even after the third time. Twice in Birmingham, Alabama Screaming, yelling, signing, and watching in disbelief. Best concert ever. They are from Jacksonville, Fl.
HAHAHA....fucking loved that reaction
Been hoping you would get to this one. 🤘🏻
