- Hey All! This was recorded early in our reaction journey on February 18th when our recording setup was still progressing and we were dealing with some latency issues. This is why we did not have two separate headphone outputs (which we have now and will have on 95% of our reaction videos already recorded and ready to be uploaded!)

Yeah I noticed that this was back when you were sharing earbuds. Shame you couldn't hear the guitars going back and forth between ears.
Guys !! I hate to be one of the hundreds who will let you know that you have missed one of the greatest Live performances of all time. OAKLAND 1977 IS THE ONE!!
Go ahead please and do a re- reaction to the live video at Oakland, we won't care that you've heard Free Bird. You have to see it!!!
Greatest guitar solo ever 💥💥💥💥💥👍😎
@@LordEagle Easy, My Friend.
Dave Gilmoue@Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb LIVE @ PULSE
Gary Moore@Parisirnne Walkways LIVE@ Montreux or Gary Moore "I've Still Got The Blues For You" LIVE in Paris might have something to say about that though this WAS great:)
Lynard Skynyrd is considered the best of southern rock has ever given to music.
they are.
Lets not forget the Allman Brothers Band.
Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. It is very sad what happened to this band in losing so many members in a plane crash in 1977. My favorite songs are "Simple Man", "Free Bird" & "Sweet Home Alabama". They had lots of great songs such as "Call Me The Breeze", "Tuesday's Gone", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name", "Gimme Three Steps", "Saturday Night Special" etc.
💯 to all of these and a whole lot more. It's one of the few bands like the Beatles, Ten Years After, and Creedence Clearwater Revival where I can honestly say that I like literally every song that they did. Every single song. I can't even say that about Led Zeppelin and I love a whole bunch of Led Zeppelin songs.
Simple Man and Gimme Three steps my fav! But I love them all!
T for Texas. Travelin Man, On the Hunt. Endless classics from THE BEST band in American History
The live video in Oakland is awesome. They're plane crashed in October 1977. It would be worth it to see a re-reaction to the live video to hear your reaction to the crowded stadium 😊
Absolutely!
I agree please react to the live version from Oakland from 1977
Completely agree as great as this always is you owe it to yourselves to experience this live extended version. It's an entirely different experience
NO , KNEBWORTH 1976 !!!!!! It's not even close !!!!!
Added to the list!
Any song by this band from the 1973-1977 era is a can’t miss. So many great ones. Definitely watch the 1977 Oakland version. You’ll appreciate it.
Right in the middle of my teenage years and there so many great bands back in the 70s and concert tickets were less than 20 dollars I grew up just outside Dallas I went to a lot of concerts in the mid to late 70s
I second the motion for you to react to the Oakland Coliseum LIVE VERSION. You simply won't believe the energy spent (or maybe generated?) by the band AND THE CROWD!!!
Free Bird was the final song played at my best friends funeral! It was his favorite song, many drunken nights with him sitting up and listening to this and singing along. I didn't know this was gonna be played at his funeral, but it hit me like a ton of bricks, and this song will forever mean something different to me!
Y'all really seemed to enjoy the solo. The band The Outlaws tried to compete with Freebird with a song called Green Grass and High Tides The guitar solo is just as impressive.
Let's not forget Molly Hatchet's, "Flirtin' With Disaster". . . . .
Hey Rick, I agree, I first saw the outlaws back in 70 doing an acoustic gig at a commune around a fire, well, maybe not the whole band, but enough to get my attention and I was hooked. I love watching these whipper snappers get turned on to real music, lol😂
@Jeff Bolton Yeah these guys here are doing a great job so far, I'm glad they didn't do live version first. I know it's great to watch them play but sometimes the audio quality is more important to me. But the great thing is they are keeping great music alive.
Here's a link to another channel I watch she does a little of everything. This link is her doing The Outlaws GGHT.

Also Blackfoot highway song
Free Bird! has been yelled out at music venues across the nation for decades. Oakland '77 is the jam. (Skynyrd is Southern Rock. The genre was guitar centric and was huge through the '70s until about the mid '80s.)
1st, NEVER interrupt a guitar solo. 2nd, check out the live version.
Do not EVER interrupt guitar solos...EVER!!!!!!
You really should have done the 1977 Oakland Coliseum version you would really appreciate the 3 lead guitar solos at the end...amazing!
Exactly why do these requesters do the wimpy versions
Plus the piano sole in the jam
Never miss a free bird reaction. Breaks my heart alot if the band died in a plane crash about a mile from my house in Mississippi.😢
I love the live in Oakland video but I am so happy you did the studio cut first for so many reasons. For one thing, it was off their very first album and it was years before the live performance that everyone always suggests, which was not long at all before the plane crash in 1977 that ended it all.
But to understand why it became such a big hit, you really have to hear the studio version first, because that's what we all heard on the radio and on the record album and you're hearing it in studio fidelity so you can understand how amazing the jigsaw-puzzle arrangement of it is, almost like a Bach fugue.
This song is constantly listed in the top 10 of all time greatest rock songs. In most lists, it's in the top 3, usually next to Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin and Baba O'Riley by The Who. It's the guitar solo that always leaves people stunned. In the age before guitar gods, this was the solo that laid down the gauntlet.
Free Bird, the 8th and last track on Lynyrd Skynyrds debut release "Pronounced" in 1973. The entire album is great and Skynyrd is the Southern Rock standard in my humble opinion.
This is the epitome of the phrase "They don't make music like this anymore"
Yes. And they never will a damn shame
Fun reaction. Yeah this is actually considered to be one of the three greatest songs in Rock. The holy triumvirate is Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven, Lynyrd Skynyrd Free Bird, and arguably, Queen Bohemian Rhapsody.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was only around for less than a decade in the 1970s but they are one of the greatest bands in rock history. Unbelievably talented, wrote tons of amazing songs, were absolutely super solid live, lots and lots of varieties for Southern Rock, but still always had their unique sound, which isn't always easy to replicate because what's going on is usually a lot more complicated than it sounds like.
They had just released their album Street Survivors when their plane crashed in late 1977, ending it all. Some died and the rest were injured and pretty much messed up in various ways for the rest of their lives. I was in 9th grade and it decimated me and a lot of my friends. It was so tragic. They were going so strong at the time.
The final original member Gary Rossington died only recently. RIP.
One of the few dual guitar solos.. watching this in a live video.. it’s amazing the two guitars together
Actually this song was a good 5 minutes longer when they played it live. They were my first concert in St Pete Fl 4 days before their plane crashed. Altered my world twice in a week.
I was privileged to see them live in concert in Tulsa Oklahoma when I was 15 years old back in the 70s . God bless
For a long time the most requested song on radio went back and forth between Free Bird and the Led Zeppelin, Stairway To Heaven.
Pausing this guitar solo is a crime!!!
Need to watch the live version! Even better and a must watch!!!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Freebird Live at the Oakland Coliseum 1977. You'll be blown away!
One of the great bands ever!! Must watch the live version from Oakland CA!!!
Lynyrd Skynyrd had a hit with That Smell which included superb guitar work as well.
Greatest guitar solo ever by Allen Collins who also played the acoustic guitar on this song along with Gary Rossington on slide guitar and Ed King on Bass… America’s greatest Rock n Roll Band
The trick to listening to Skynyrd is not to look for deeper meaning. Their strength was their ability to just capture a feeling, a moment and ride that vibe. Their music is like a soundtrack to life itself. So many awesome songs. You should absolutely check out "Tuesday's Gone". That's one of my favorites. Metallica also did a decent cover to it, and you can definitely hear Skynyrd's influence in a lot of their music.
My favorite southern rock band! Every song of their's is top notch! You would enjoy Call Me The Breeze.
Rest in peace Gary Rossington🔥🤙🏼
Oh man you should be watching this live from Oakland! It's" they "are going off! 3 guitar players, piano and drums.
“If I leave here tomorrow….”
One of the first rock songs about existentialism.
Existentialism: a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free & responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.
“a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do”
They are killing it. Gary Rossington Lead, Allenn Collins lead, Steve Gaines rhythm and Leon Wilkeson bass.
Steve Gaines. Love him. He never got a full chance but what he did has lasted.
@@midwestfriday4898 Very true. His addition to the band was to it's advantage.
I believe since this was the studio version. Gaines and Wilkinson were not with the band yet. Ed King played bass on the studio version.
I think the long guitar / instrumental at the end symbolizes the bird flying freely through the sky. I think. Anyway thanks for posting this.
OFF TOPIC... But in one of your other reactions you had mentioned work out music... There is one right up y'alls alley by "The Hu" called "Wolf Totem". Great gym song and awesome visuals as well as totally different than anything you reacted to so far. Love y'alls channel
Song of Women is good also.
Thank you! Noted your suggestion!
It's good to watch the video first and live next. Love this video. Do you feel like a ' free bird?" We felt so free back then. It's gone today. America is a free bird. We are free and we must stay free.
"Sweet Home Alabama" you won't be disappointed!
Nice reaction, Yes this is some amazing guitar playing. Allen wrote the solo when he was 17, that's 1969! Who was playing the guitar like this in 1969, Hendrix, Clapton, Duane, there were nor very many doing what Allen did. Sadly he would never get the recognition he deserved imo.
I'm very pleased that happened upon your channel. You're honest, informed, thoughtful reactions are refreshing and the scope of your subject matter tends to run along the lines of what interests me as well. The recording you picked is likely the crown jewel of Lynyrd Skynyrd 's accomplishments. If I may, I would like to suggest an artist from a different genre, Chet Atkins. I won't recommend anyone recording as he never disappoints his skills are almost unparalleled.
This ist world-wide legendary awesome...Possibly das best guitar solo ever created. I grew up from very young age hearing this exceedingly epic ROCK composition. Such masterpieces of ROCK music composition as this ist very relevant reason why ROCK music ist still currently, und may remain always das most popular music genre on Earth (by an extreme majority of Earth's population). Always like your reactions. Auf Wiedersehen :)
Many say that this is one of the top2 songs ever with Led Zeppelin’s “ Stairway to Heaven”….. in whatever order you want.
The KnebWorth England version has been recorded in the History of Skynyrd as the BEST LIVE Performance of FREEBIRD!! I'M SOOOOO GLAD I SAW THEM TWICE, 1976 LS, 1980 as Rossington Collins BAND !! 😍😥🐐🔥🎸😍😥🐐🎸🔥 RIP LYNYRD SKYNRYD , YOUR ALL FREEBIRDS NOW!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
There was more to the song to get the full version you need to watch them live in Oakland 1977 and you will get the full version of this. God bless
Hey give the drummer his due he kept up it was awesome
If y'all had seen this performance, you'd understand everything. They went deep. Seeing them do it, you'd see it was a jam session. Live badass jam.
Just lost Gary Rossington a few weeks ago. The last original member to go. Curious how you guys have never heard of LS. A staple on all kinds of radio, sampled by so many. So, so many hits. Sweet Home Alabama is known internationally, like camel herders in Afghanistan know Sweet Home. Simple Man makes people all sentimental and a tear forms when they listen. Tuesdays Gone, Call Me the Breeze (J.J. Cale wrote), That Smell, Gimme Three Steps, and on and on.
This is a perfect song go driving. I can leave my home at the start of the song and be on the highway as soon as the solo kicks in. If there is no traffic, I am flying like free bird.
By the way, the solo in the live version in 1977 is epic. Three guitars, a bass, drums, piano and vocals all working together to make a American Southern Rock classic.
The last original member (Gary Rossington ---Slide guitar on this song) just died March 5, 2023.
They were super BIG back in the day. This was their largest tune. They were the pride of the South!! They were long haired country boys who performed Rock & Roll.. Sam is getting into it. Phil you will come around some day. You all just need to listen to more Skynard... Get ready for the guitar solo, it's BIG. Lead singer was Ronnie Van Zant, he usually came on stage bare-footed.
They were in an airplane crash in 1977. Six people died in the crash. The others were injured... The airplane ran out of gasoline..
May I suggest you all watch "What's your name" another good one. Also "What's that smell?"
I stand corrected, Phil you were jamming at the end of the guitar solo..... YOU ALL take care!!!!
In the first half of the song the bird is in a cage. In the second half of the song, the bird is free.
Song was originally 10 minutes long but producers cut it down to 6 minutes to fit on the album.
SKYNYRD FREE BIRD LIVE AT OAKLAND COLLISIUM 🐦 IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. GOTTA SEE 👀 EM LIVE.
When I was in highschool every dance ended the night with Freebird!😊
These boys can play!!!!!
You guys are cool. Beatles. Nuff said. You just heard THE rock anthem of the 70's. For years, you would here people yell "FREEBIRD" at any concert. Amazing band. Great reaction.
As a commenter said below, to truly appreciate this song check out the 1977 live in Oakland concert . It is epic and will give more perspective on the band's live dynamics.
As a 70s babe, this is an anthem.If I had a choice in my next life it would be like the Vid.I can even smell the Earth, Horses and Beer and good friends. Very similar to life then.Spoiled.
The Guitarist Allen write this in his Teens.🙏🏆
It's the guitar solo that keeps on giving
As a southern man, I gotta say love this vlassic southern rock. Legendary.
It’s not just one guy “snapping” on the guitar. It’s like 3 guys at various points. The slide guitarist who opens the song - Gary Rossington- just passed away fairly recently - like just within the last few weeks.
Studio version was Gary on slide and the solo was all Allen. Ed was playing bass at this time.
Queen live in Montreal 1981, Somebody to Love
you're gonna see this request a lot - live Oakland Coliseum 1977 - greatest performance ever, just a few months before tragic plane crash
My class song in 1977😊
The reason it sounds so unbelievably great. There are 3 leads guitars playing
Love that y’all appreciate the music, always fun seeing people react to free bird for the first time
From a lazy river to a water slide this song is. rapids and all!
It is an anthem for us back then. It was about playing that live.... you gotta see that. Guitar army... best southern rock.
Ronnie built the 3 Guitar Army , a force to be reckoned with.
Check out the live version in Oakland. It’s so awesome and in a baseball stadium. The crowd really rocks the stadium.
This is why you go to any concert then someone yells out "FREEBIRD!!!!!" in honor of the greatest guitar solo to most musicians and music lovers everywhere. It's, it's own thing.... a classic.
The Oakland 1977 live version will blow u away. Saw them the first time July 4. 1976.
Word around the campfire is that solo's still going on. It didn't fade out, the tape just ran out.
Give Me Three Steps is great too!
According to the band during a documentary, the guitar solo originally was much shorter. Intended to give the singer a break for his voice. As time went on the crowd got more involved and the solo got longer and longer. The band would be considered Southern Rock or Classic Rock.
Skynyrd is from Jacksonville, Florida. My favorite 2 favorite songs from them are On The Hunt and Cry For The Bad Man. If you guys end up checking out On The Hunt, theres a band called Corrosion Of Conformity that do a great cover of that.
Yeah. Oakland coliseum live. A must. Legendary. Anyone serious about music history of any genre. All in the know......know. great job guys! Keep it up and much success to you
Great band! do some more please.
Greetings from Oregon. Phido my 24 year old cat and I love you two. She gets it. An old soul. Welcome to our generation..
This actually became a Southern staple and damn near every garage band learned at least part of it. I grant that most of them did it poorly, but they had to try as doing it well became sort of a test. The way this song became embedded in southern culture can be seen in the movie Elizabethtown where the song is played at a funeral to a flaming finish.
3 world class guitarists
You guys HAVE to do "Tuesday's Gone"!!!! The feeling the song gives you is like no other ❤
lynyrd skynyrd - free bird live at oakland coliseum stadium 1977 is an amazing version of this song also.
Lynyrd Skynyrd Lives On!
We used to call this and hotel california "a solo with a song in front of it".
This song is iconic, it is actually referenced in other songs. It's considered southern rock, another song by this group which is equally iconic is, "Sweethome Alabama". Sweethome Alabama is so popular, the term sweethome Alabama is the tagline on the bottom of our license plates. Sweethome Alabama was written in response to a song called ""Southern Man", written by Neil Young. At the time, Alabama was known for its state policy of segregation. Segregation was a policy that wouldn't allow black persons to eat at the same restaurants, use the same restrooms, go to the same schools or use water fountains as white people..
I'm a 44 yrs old hood dude from queens New York..oldschool hiphop head 110%
... but freebird SLAPS.
Lynard skynyrd is dope af
Everything they did was special
Ronnie is a god!
Welcome to Southern Rock and more importantly welcome to Jacksonville Florida
I know someone is already commented. At 1 point they had a 17 minute version of this song. It was to give Ronnie A chance to rest his vocals between shows
When I saw them live the stadium went nuts with the solo. One of the best I have ever heard. .
Skynyrd songs 1A and 1B are Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama on the must hear Playlist. Then you get into Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone, The Ballad of Curtis Loew
I'm 64 and grew up on Skynyrd, Fact is I at this point know this band better than 98% of those out here. The band was the first to use three lead quality Guitarist along with a bass player that to me could not be beat and a Keyboardist classically trained. though the drummer was replaced from Bob Burns to Artimus Pyle it had nothing but top of the line players. Lead singer Ronnie VanZant either wrote or co-wrote most song they recorded and if he didn't write the song one of the band members did. I know you can look all this up to fact check me and feel free to do so. But the band that still plays today even though there are no original members left in it due to the passing of Gary Rossington this year had Ronnie VanZant brother Johnny VanZant as lead singer and he has done very well. The last album released is called Last Of A Dying Breed to me is the best Modern Lynyrd Skynyrd album with Johnny VanZant at the lead. OMG, the sound of old Skynyrd is there. I was lucky enough to see Skynyrd three times and even got to shake Ronnie VanZant's hand at the Atlanta concert. fun fact Ronnie VanZant as I remember never wore shoes on stage. As for the song Free Bird Allen Collins was the main lead on the solo. There is so much more I could tell you but I digress. Go down the Skynyrd rabbit hole, you will not be disappointed at all. Peace.
Welcome to the Allen Collins show !
Allen wrote the music for this when he was 15, and played the lead by himself for this studio version, doing a double tracking when it turns into dual lead.
Live, Ed King joined him when the dual starts, and Steve Gaines later, after he took Ed's place.
Alan Collins was the main lead in the solo. Steve Gaines was backing that and Gary Rossington was the beautiful slide guitar at the start. These three guitars sounded better live than the studio. Check out more, they’ve got many many great southern rock songs.
Stand Tall, by Burton Cummings, lead singer for The Guess Who. What a voice!
React to the live version in Oakland! You won’t be disappointed
Dont STOP in the solooooo mannnn
Classic Southern Rock at its finest! \m/
This song was also featured on guitar hero 2 i think but thats where alot of younger people heard it👍👍
A classic for all times
vibed with that a super lot. gold tier and super unique. so unique 🔥🔥🔥
