This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I met my wife and married her when we were very young. We were also very young parents, and in the beginning I struggled trying to find a job to pay for us all. I got into a plumbing apprenticeship by the grace of God when we needed it most, and this is one of the anthems of my life. I just wanted a humble and stable life, and make sure we'd all be ok. I'm now 48 with 27 and 23 year old sons that have grown into incredible, smart, talented young men. I credit my wife for a lot of it, but I'm happy that I could be there to help when I could.
Love your comment. We also married young and struggled to make ends meet. 38 years later, 4 children 37-27 and 5 grandchildren. I hear this song from a mother's perspective of what I want for my three sons. My favorite Skynyrd song for sure.
We were out about 70 feet from the stage that night. Stapleton had played first and then KOL blew the crowd away with their music. Then Chris Stapleton came out and they did this. There were wet eyes everywhere. The sound was phenomenal......
Simple Man could quite possibly be the most emotional song that strikes that emotional cord the 10,000 th time you hear it as if were the first . A masterpiece of a song . Lynard version off ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD can't be matched but so many bands have done it incredibly well , this version is one of those . Enjoyed it immensely
@@michaelhaile6371 I get the same feeling with Tuesday’s Gone. Kinda the same type of ballad. They build you up, give you goosebumps, bring you down then build you up again. Then more goosebumps. They were one awesome band. Can’t go wrong with 3 incredible lead guitar players. Big part of my youth. A case of beer some left handers and Skynyrd cranked!
I got to hear this live, before the plane crash.....I was 15 years old, and received two tickets for my birthday....they have been (Skynyrd) my favorite band ever since.
I don't throw praises around unless I mean it. Kings Of Leon, you are worthy. Chris Stapleton, again, worthy. Thank you all for a phenomenal cover of a classic Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Thanks for keeping their music alive, and spreading the words of love through Ronnie's lyrics for today's generation. The world needs this song more than ever.✌️💙
In my heart and soul... I hear a kind of Ronnie Van Zant ringing in my ears to Chris Stapleton ❣️❣️❣️❣️... Just my humble opinion Canadian crazy 🇨🇦🇮🇹😻❤️
Really...? Cover Hustler......... GET some Music knowledge. "Tennessee Whiskey"....? RIP George Jones. AND....He dont know the words to 1 of the Greatest Southern Rock songs of ALL time. (Hes READING) ......
@@70centurian Noticed that he was reading the lyrics too. Not taking anything away from CS's talent - he's amazing but Ronnie Van Zant and Lynyrd Skynyrd paved the way for so many.
Wow Caleb's voice is a perfect fit with this song! I wouldn't have immediately thought of him as blending well with this genre, but that's a huge oversight because he fits perfectly!
I’m in heaven listening to this song with KOL & Chris Stapleton. Love both! Wow! I’ve always loved this song & to stumble upon this incredible song just made my night.
This song is spiritual. One of the best songs ever made, and my personal favorite.(tied w under the bridge). They did a great job capturing it's essence. Even the lead guitarist was on point.
When my daughter was 6 years old she was doing a Xmas concert with her school. They wanted the pupils to come up with songs they could sing,( most picking the normal Xmas songs). My daughter decided she was going to sing Under The Bridge, just her, no accompaniment. Never been prouder of her and the place erupted when she finished. I couldnt make eye contact with her as she sang incase it put too much strain on her. She is now a primary school teacher here in Scotland.
I played this song over and over and over when my first Golden Retriever passed. I know this sounds absurd because it was a dog. My husband and I had no children, not the 2-legged kind anyway. "Jake" was almost 9 and had a history of canine seizures since he was 4. The love he brought out in me is a debt I can never repay. We had his ashes in an urn, and when his "brother" died ten years later at 14, we put his ashes in the beautiful box that my son made for "Bozzi." Both dogs were about 100# each. They are buried by a creek on my girlfriend's property in North Carolina. I can just picture them running and chasing the cows, squirrels and birds. This song helped me thru that long arduous nite. The magic of music.
Thanks for making me cry, all the way from London, England. They are doing just as you said and hopefully have a big stick there for good measure. I have a 6 year old Staffordshire bull terrier who has brought me through some of the roughest times and never wavers
Wow, 3 of my favorite things all in one: one the all time best songs with two of my favorite artists! My boys took me to see Lynard Skynard at the San Diego fair for Fathers' Day - my first time seeing them. And I've taken my oldest to see KOL twice. The lyrics will always bring tears to my eyes when I remember my dad. Need to go see Stapleton live now, to complete this spiritual circle ;)
Skynyrd is no longer a band it has transcended into a timeless entity that manifests itself when the planets align and there are worthy musicians that come together to act as its avatar.
The daytime concerts are only on weekends and holidays. Just like here, most shows are at night… ‘cept the shrooms are way better are wicked available.
KOL and Stapleton are legit musicians; Caleb has an amazing voice and Stapleton's talent goes without saying. This cover is great, but it tells you how good van Zant was. They guy was absolutely one of the best.
This is for “MY SON” ..”JESSE ZIMMERMAN” the love of my life…gave me what I needed to come back to life❤️ he was my life…now he belongs to a good woman who I can only pray loves him as much as I do!
Omgness! I love this version. This song was sung by a friend at funeral for my best friend that took his own life. It's very rare I can even listen to this song, but this one cover was so great. I cried through the whole song!!
By covers you mean copy note by note and not make it his own at all, listen to Etta James then listen to Tennessee Whiskey again, nothing original by Chris just a note for note cover (rip off)
Kings of Leon. Has been one of my favorite bands for a long time. The older albums of course. Covering my other favorite bands skynyrd. And add Chris Stapleton??? How am I just now seeing this. Freak what a experience this was for them.
This song jerks at everyone of my heart strings for so many different reasons I love the original and every remake of it they all make me shed a tear when I hear that opening riff till I get to see you again Grandpa Stuchlik......Love you and miss you so much..
Kol and Chris singing simple man would surely cure world aggression.. this has to be the definition of how we should live our lives. Forget all the shit.. if we live by this.. our earth will be such a good place.
You're so right. Ronnie was a phenomenal songwriter just fantastic. Sometimes all he needed was a few bars if that from one of the boys and he was off writing a classic. Sorely missed
Yup.... I have three boys and made sure as they grew up they knew this song and I made sure I walked the talk . All three have grown up to be amazing men💕
Especially when he started playing lynyrd skynrd music
2 ปีที่แล้ว +43
Whenever i see footage of concerts in USA I always notice that the crowds are very lame. Maybe because you guys have so many shows… come to Portugal or Spain… crowds are crazy!
Why? You could replace him with like 4 other country guys that do the same thing he does and no one would notice. There's nothing at all special or unique about chris Stapleton, he is the epitome of blah.
My cousin was a rock n roll angel. This song was played when they carried him to the cemetery. Soulshine by Government Mule was played at the beginning. No better home going. Love you , Scott❤️
My hair stood on end instantly when the intro started. I love this song and I would really love to have one of the Chris Stapleton signature series tweed amps from the Fender custom shop. And I’ve been a Skynyrd fan since the beginning and this video reminds me how much I love music. Thank you so much for this video 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great cover by a great band. Ronnie Van Zant has never been appreciated for his song writing & it's a shame. None as individual musicians got the appreciation they deserved either & together they were fire. Their music is timeless & so many musicians say they were inspired by Skynyrd music.
@@cayde-6.0 I agree but have you EVER seen him listed or written abt in an article of great singer/songwriters. NEVER Not talking fans talking abt people crititique music/musicians.

Just passed the 1 year anniversary of my mothers un-expected passing . I saw Chris Stapleton live yesterday. This shows back up in my feed on YT. It was meant to be . Chills .
After listening to this version of this great song, I have to say that the lead guitar player was awesome. I have seen L. S. 4 or 5 times and with Chris Stapleton it makes it just that MUCH BETTER!
The genius of Ronnie, Gary and Allen is that they crafted a song that makes any group of common stage dwellers sound competent when they cover it. It doesn't hurt to have Stapleton bring some bonafide soul to the mic either.
We was i was there! First off it was like 12 degrees and this quality isn't the best! 200,000 standing there in 12 degree weather not dedicated? Lol we was all singing along too! Tennessee showed him love I promise!

Love your comment. We also married young and struggled to make ends meet. 38 years later, 4 children 37-27 and 5 grandchildren. I hear this song from a mother's perspective of what I want for my three sons. My favorite Skynyrd song for sure.
Stapleton is a true modern legend. Lucky to have him on Earth.
Who??
@@adiemissworld Really?
Heart and Soul
True. He can do everything, better than just about everyone.
Soon with a few pounds less hopefully for his own sake

What event was this?
@brookew1219 Nashville New years eve 2015. Downtown on Broadway......
Yes phenomenal
Was there also. It was an epic night!
The group Kings of Leon are so underrated
Yes
You're right; I can't believe so few people know about them.
Not true. They were the biggest rock band in the 10’s… i guess you could say they might’ve peaked
Wouldn’t say one of the biggest arena rock bands in the world are particularly underrated
AGREE
Ronnie Van Zandt was a storyteller that will never be equalled. His lyrics are eternal and grow deeper every time you listen.
beautiful comment
100%
Often imitated, never duplicated. 🙌
I can't bitch when either of these guys wanna wail on it a little thooo lol! 🤘
That's the Truth 🧡♥️💜
Ronnie didn't write this...The guitar player did.
Two of the best male vocalists of the last 25 years.
😊
Southern Rock is still alive.
Simple Man could quite possibly be the most emotional song that strikes that emotional cord the 10,000 th time you hear it as if were the first .
A masterpiece of a song .
Lynard version off ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD
can't be matched but so many bands have done it incredibly well , this version is one of those .
Enjoyed it immensely
Man, you couldn't have said that any better! EVERY time I hear it, it's like the hair stands up on my arms!
I’ll go off the record and say it’s possibly the best song ever written. It invokes so much emotion.

Two of the best vocalists ever. It's too much.
My son picked this song for us to dance to for the mother son dance at his wedding, I cried tears of joy for him and my wonderful daughter in law!

Yeah, this one is okay. It is not Skynard, but I am off to watch Shinedown now. Thanks.
A beautiful tribute to Ronnie and the rest of the Southern boys. Loved it👏🇲🇽🇺🇸.

And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you
Some sunny day oh yeah
Oh take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman yeah and you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Oh yes I will
Oh don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
And baby be a simple real simple man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man

Chills .
So delighted to hear the music of the greatest band ever IMO!
Very good version, their voices go well together and guitar solos were solid. Well done!
Chris truley sings from his heart, so talented.
MATT KILLEDDDDDD THE SOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Seriously love these two artists at my core
Amazing two men, and one hell of a song! 💙
After listening to this version of this great song, I have to say that the lead guitar player was awesome. I have seen L. S. 4 or 5 times and with Chris Stapleton it makes it just that MUCH BETTER!
My favorite cover. So beautiful
The genius of Ronnie, Gary and Allen is that they crafted a song that makes any group of common stage dwellers sound competent when they cover it. It doesn't hurt to have Stapleton bring some bonafide soul to the mic either.
We was i was there! First off it was like 12 degrees and this quality isn't the best! 200,000 standing there in 12 degree weather not dedicated? Lol we was all singing along too! Tennessee showed him love I promise!
Kiss ass, soulful Southern Rock.
