Back in the 70’s the flag represented “rebel”. It’s the rebel flag of the south! No racism at all!
We've always called it the rebel flag.
Still means that we fly it up north also
Politics will use anything to push a narrative. They move the goalposts. They use racism to divide because if we were all on the same page they would be held accountable
I remember 2008, we elected a black president, my black co worker,next day told me he couldn't believe it, There are Racist in America, but I believe there in single digits f the media, they try and divide us,lend a helping hand, good song, listen to it L.S.
Yep. Racial junk was made up by white college grads of current corrupt education system. A bunch of ignorant selfish people.
Praise Jesus Christ!
The bird sound is made using a glass slide.
In the 70 the Confederate flag was a symbol of unity for the south. People of all colors flew it. Even as late as 2005 when my wife and me traveled the south we sold beaded jewelry. One thing we made were Confederate flag earrings. We sold as many to black women as white. Only a minority of people used it as a racist symbol. As far as Skynnyd goes I dont know of a racist song they ever did and their music is celebrated by people of all races. This can be seen by watching many of the people that play tributes to them. Truth is music is really colorless.
Southerners of all races still display the battle flag(square flag) or in this case the confederate navy jack(rectangular version that csa naval vessals flew). The use of this flag by racists is a blasphemy of its symbolism.
The left are assholes trying to destroy the country. The rebel flag is history, honour for those who gave thier lives for family and home. It doesn't mean slavery. Anyone who thinks that is a stupid democrat who is either brainwashed or just a good little sheep.
Well said.
We fly it as southern pride and southern unity! All races should fly it if your southern!
@@jollyryder7664 Amen! The government wants us hating and fighting each other. When you leave this country and go overseas you are simply referred to as an American no matter your skin color.
You right, they was representing the South and showing everybody how we do it down here
Damn right I’m glad how he commented about it, racism hasn’t been present down here in years
@@neilparis502 amen, to many using it for thier own gain....
Southern Rock anthem. One of the best southern rock bands ever.
Not one of The Best
I'd argue they're the best southern rock band
People forget, August of the same year Elvis died were all going there, some sooner then others,, hang in there Gary
74 years old and I still get chills listening to this video!😎
Just three months after this concert, four members of the band, including the lead singer here, and two pilots lost their lives in a plane crash. RIP guys.
😢
LOL. If you show up at a Skynyrd concert, you would be welcome; I promise. I’ve seen them. Skynyrd is my favorite. You ain’t even scratched the surface with these boys. Great reaction.
It is to bad that all but two members are now gone. One doesn’t play. So I would say RIP Mr. Low and fly on my friends!🤘🙏
Just a huge party everyone loving on each other and the love of music
That was a famous hat, his brother always put it on the microphone after he died, he wouldn’t play freebird for a long time because he said no one could compare to Ronnie, rip guys
Sort of. They played it with no vocals and a single spotlight on the mic stand with his hat on it.
They played the song just with no singing of the lyrics
Wheb I saw RCB, they played Freebird with spotlight on Ronnie's mic, no hat. 60,000 peoole in tears.
One of his hats was sold on PAWN STARS for an absurd amount of money.
@@michaelchmiel166 he had a ton of them for sure. Every city they went to, Gary & Allen went to guitar shops & Leon hit stores lookin for hats.
i'm the one who would drag you to a Skynyrd concert and guarantee you would have the best time of your life.
You should listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ballad of Curtis Loew and Tuesday's Gone.
Seconded.
Third
Yep!
Go Tigers! 💜🧡💜

Led Zeppelin is good but all those rock bands from the 70’s are great. Lynard skynard got my vote though
Learn to spell honey
Led Zeppelin is a 70s rock band 😂
Sorry, zep is Great should be on Olympus, Skinard are the kings of the south..... so is Alabama.
i love that people are still reacting to this song its deserves all the respect it can get!
The rebel flag use to be everywhere. That was back before everyone was so damn offended and political about everything. I still see it from time to time. Your attitude is the right one to have.
They were working class kids from Jacksonville, Fl. They 'took" their named from a gym teacher-ex-Marine at their high school (named Leonard Skinner) who told them to stop being hippies and cut their hair in the late 60s. The guitar player said "FU" to the teacher and quit school. They're now legends. That's awesome.
Yup they were the real deal. Settled matters with fists.
A 60s to 80s Jax, OP, FL now grandma who once wore a bandana as a shirt to one of their concerts, lived it, loved it, and scold my Granddaughter for not covering enough skin. I can laugh about what the misconception of what that flag meant to me and my friends, nothing to do with skin color at all. One of my bandana shirts was that color, and if it was offensive, my boyfriend of color didn't mind it one bit. Yes, you kept the rattle on the snake - badge of courage. ❤❤
It is fun to show this to your grandkids and they say "Wow, Wish I could've been there". Then you grin and say "I was there" and watch their faces. Yeah, Paw-Paw's cool.
Tragically they lost some of the band including the man singing this in a plane crash! Very sad!
It happened Oct. 20, 1977 and three members of the band, Ronnie Van Zant, lead singer and one of the founding members, Steve Gaines, guitarist and Cassie Gaines, back up singer and Dean Kilpatrick, asst. tour manager and the two pilots lost their lives.
they were representing their home and we didn't bow to IDENTITY POLITICS then. we were free then! we had the best music!
That flag is one of the most beautiful flags in this country. And it's been misused as a symbol of hate when all it really is a symbol of rebellion against the Establishment & Southern Pride.
This is an epic performance! Those guitars...doesn't get any better! Love Lynyrd Skynyrd! I like Zeppelin too...but Skynyrd gets my vote!
Then you never been to a Zeppelin concert.
The solo is still playing in heaven RIP
Amen,turn it up!
Yes the studio version does have this, they do put a little extra on the ending here
ZZTOP has also used the flag . My Head's In Mississippi is a prime example
@@waynestumbo2408 My man needs to react to some ZZ Top: La Grange; Waitng for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago; Just Got Paid for starters.
@@mookie7688 hell yeah. throw in Blue Jean Blues
You know that was a straight up awesome reaction you did to this song and to that rebel flag I'm a southern I'm proud of being from the south that's where I was born but that flag damn sure don't mean hate and racism to me it just means I'm from the south and yes I had great great can that fault and died in that war and nobody in my family ever ever on slaves they were just poor country hill folks from Kentucky
So true! The flag (to me) just means im southern. Ive never had a racist thought in my head. Ive had many of my black friends eat at my table. There are some white folks that i wouldnt let stick their pinky toe in my yard. I really respect someone that sees that sees past that flag to the people that dont use it as a sign of hate...just a sign of their love of the south. And like you, my grandparents and great grandparents were dirt poor sharecroppers.
Kentucky was a Union state.
@@michaellacey4219Well, I guess you need to tell Stephen Foster, then. He wrote the music and lyrics to "My Old Kentucky Home" over 100 years ago.
Love your Reaction! I was 16 in 1977 Times were so different, post Vietnam, Great music Everyone Loved each other or at least Respected each other a lot more. Lynyrd Skynyrd was just very proud of their Southern Heritage nothing to do with Racism. Things were very different back then nothing like today. ( Lynyrd Skynyrd Band were from Jacksonville, Florida. )
We rocked out in those concerts back in the day, and yes we're grandparents and even great parents now, but we knew how to party hard, went to the biggest concerts ever, owned and drove the coolest looking rides, and nobody can ever take that away from our generation.Truth🎸🎸🎤🎶Rock On
When I listen to Freebird, so do my neighbors! You're welcome! 🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸👌🇺🇸🤟🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Anytime I hear ANY Skynard on radio, I crank it up and my stearin wheel becomes my drum set ( I replaced 2 already😉😁)
@@brianginn6075 🤣
All their songs are about things that actually happened. My fav is Gimme 3 Steps
I fought an mma bout in at the Lake County fair in Florida and walked out to gimme three steps. I'm from Wisconsin lol
Think about this ,no social media ,no promo machine just local news and radio , let's see how many of today's bands would survive with out it let alone PACK THE COLISEUM ,stands & field
Love me some southern rock. I will always be partial to anything in that genre. Being a teenager in the 70s and in Mississippi, they were a huge part of it. And baby, you aint got a lick o sense! Love your reactions! You make me smile...and make my day! Be blessed...❤❤❤
I am from Kentwood Louisiana, 5 miles from the Mississippi line south of McComb. I was 19 in the USAF in 1977 stationed in Silicon Valley and missed this great concert. It may have been a work issue, I can't recall, but I sure missed an epic concert. A great southern band.
Great reaction, and I agree with ya exactly on the flag. Growing up, it just always meant to me that ya was a rebel against the system. God bless you sir.
Great music transcends colors.
I admire your tolerance for that flag.
What Tolerance these guys don't have a racist bone in their body's
Nothing wrong with the flag
Thats an asinine thing to say
There is an old saying (that I'm trying to start now):
.
"The concert ain't over until Skynyrd plays Freebird."
.
I mean... ...you can try to call it after the fat lady's done with her number, but we ain't having none of that.
R2D2, dude, you’re killin’ me
"Do Free Bird."
"Look at all them women", all them little chickies are about 70 now
Yeah, they are all grandmothers and great-grandmothers now...hell, if any of them already had kids, they could be great-great-grandmothers by now, or very soon if their kids and grandkids got busy at an early age.
But they have great stories!
You think you are cool. Your grandparents were cool.
Just clicked in can't wait to see his reaction to the solo at the end.
15:58 there’s a couple brotha’s in front row. Great reaction. Music is how we will all find ourselves. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏻
When you get a minute, check out "The Breeze"! It rocks and rolls!
Yes, “Call Me The Breeze” Live
You told the truth about, that flag. It's really good to hear a man, that appreciates the other persons perspective, and reacts accordingly.
I never heard it referred to as the confederate flag, very often. It's been the rebel flag to most of the people, that like it, for a long time, and it represents an independent spirit, rebelling against control by the system.
So true on the flag “you do you, I’ll do me, and as long as it don’t physically hurt people just grab a beer and chill!”
This is my all time favorite live performance by any band.
😊✌
Lynyard skynyrd all time best band hands down. 40 yrs after that terrible crash and there still by far the greatest band ever.
This song not about a color, it's about ur ♥
Just lost a country music icon: Mr. Charlie Pride. He’s an absolute legend and worth a listen. “Kiss an Angel Good Morning” is a solid choice.
I agree! Love Charlie Pride! ❤️❤️❤️
He had many other gems.
If you want to see a lot more white people and one of the best rockin' roll performances ever check out Queen and LiveAid.
I just saw that. That moment around 6:50 in, it's like the crowd and performance become one. I ain't never seen somebody so effortlessly work a crowd before.
He has the right attitude and the intelligence to realize that some use that flag as a symbol of racism and some its a deep felt pride.
After all alot if men and children died fighting for that flag.
The band in a documentary I watched claimed they weren't racist at all, but when they played England the English called them Yankees. And they took offense & said he'll no we're from the South. The record label MCA started putting the confederate flag everywhere, on the stage & album covers. In the 70's the confederate flag seemed to symbolize the South more than the out & out racism meaning of today. The Dukes of Hazzard tv show in the 70's & 80's, the Dodge charger in the show had a confederate flag on the roof, but the Duke boys seemed to be the only ones in the county that ever helped black people.
it's all propaganda. most ppl today actually believe the kkk were right wingers not leftists
This performance, specifically, inspires me. To me, it is an example of the perfection that human beings can achieve. When they cooperate with each other, humans can create something worthy of the Gods.
I've heard this song at so many funerals 😥
"I wasn't ready!" LMAO Hold onto your hat man, you ain't seen nothing yet. I got the pleasure of seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert a couple of years ago. My wife bought tickets for my birthday. Awesome birthday present!! But, one thing you can be sure of, if you were there to enjoy the music, you would have had the time of your life.
I love watching reaction videos. And since you made the statement that you made about the confederate flag I'm definitely subscribing to your channel!
They deff had some 'talent' out there that day.
I always laugh at the big Blonde on someones shoulders 12min. Thats someones Grandmother, an she was cooler than her G-kids.
I always laugh at the same lady because of how blistered her back & shoulders are!!
@@yellahamma66 yea she was Crawfish that night.
@@yellahamma66 If she got that sunburned on the regular, she's either dead of cancer, or has skin like leather. She must have had to bathe in aloe vera the next day. You can really tell that cameraman had a thing for platinum blondes though, the way he kept going back to her.
Arguably the best guitar solo ever written.
I too absolutely love Southern Rock!!!
You should react to .38 Special, "Rockin into the night" or Mountain, "Mississippi Queen" soon... or maybe next! You'll like those fo sho.
Mississippi Queen 100%!
Some April Wine also
Those Boys can play 🎸🎸🎸
I'm Canadian so the only thing I really know about the Confederate flag is from the dukes of hazzard. Lol. I believe skynyrd used it strictly as a prop to bolster an outlaw image.
It's a sign of being a rebel. To be against what is expected.
The flag actually was the idea of their New York, jewish producer. However, Skynyrd was very proud of their Southern heritage. You hear it in the music & lyrics ..rock n roll, blues and country. Hence the song Sweet Home Alabama, it was political..saying "we all ain't bad people"!
I watched about 20 or 30 Reaction Videos for "Free Bird", and IMHO you did the best job. Most are so blown away they can't speak. One small point: You should have known when the crowd started going wild after being so calm during the vocal section, the song was changing.
Nothing better than southern rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd was such a great band..... one of the best in the history of rock. Another great band is the Allman Brothers. They have some great classics.
If you showed up the concert like that would be welcome just as anybody else
The girls "bra" was called a halter top and were very popular. The flag represents southern pride.
R2D2 😂 yes that’s a guitar making that sound...ur hilarious!!!! GREAT song and video choice!!!!!! The radio version is also this long
#SouthernProudBaby
This was Southern rock and I'm from the South. I saw them do this at Memorial (football) Stadium in Charlotte, NC on July 13, 1974. It was Under the Stars festival. It featured a lineup of ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rare Earth, Leon Russell, Elvin Bishop, and Billy Preston. That was about 12 hours of my life I would not trade for anything! Things were different then and in many ways a lot more fun. You probably know by now the band was in a plane crash 3 months after this concert.
Oh, by the way, I saw Led Zeppelin in Raleigh in 1970and that was the best concert my 71 yo ass ever saw! I'm looking forward to watching more of your reactions.
Loved your words on the confederate flag. While I am from the north and it has never meant anything to me, I was mad that people tried (successfully) cancelling the "Dukes of Hazzard" over it. There was nothing racist in that show, besides the lack of local diversity that should have been present, but that was the case in most of Hollywood shows at that point. If anything the Dukes of Hazzard may have done an above average (for the time) job of it. For the most part, black people seemed to be well presented when they were there, and were sometimes even the featured star of the week.
Of course, overall the Dukes of Hazzard is not of any real importance, but it does suck that a bit of fun, harmless pop culture from that time got ripped away for no good reason.
You know,you would be the safest one at that show, because we think like you do,so most of us would look out for you
I love seeing the iconic Mount Rushmore as the stage setting for this most iconic concert. I wasn't lucky enough to be at this concert, but I did go to many concerts during this period and enjoyed the many benefits of growing up during these great times. Oh, and Mount Rushmore is practically in my back yard. I am truly blessed
To many (southerners, westerners and northerners as well as outside the US) the confederate flag is a symbol of a person doing their own thing their way without the government saying do this or that. I fly a US and a Confederate battle flag in my yard, and yet I have many friends of various backgrounds and descents, all have put their hats in their hands and feet under my table.
Their record company refused to publish free bird because it was so long. So they formed their own record lable even wrote a song about it working for MCA
There were so many girls up front because Peter Frampton was playing before Skynyrd.
Now I gotta google him!
Listen to Peter Frampton ‘Do You Feel Like We Do’ The LIVE version.
Peter Frampton’s live album is the biggest selling live album of all time.
It's those guitar fingers that's drivin them girls crazy!!!!
Great assessment, "it's all about who uses it." Lynyrd Skynyrd were not racist guys. For them the flag was about geographical region. Also this was the mid 1970's.
I lost it at the its 1977 thats gotta-be someones grandma now lmao
I got to tell ya man, I loved your comments about the Confederate Flags and especially about it being about ancestral pride and not about race (except ignorant people like the haters). If more people had your understanding and confidence, discrimination and hatred of race would have ended long ago!
my man the take you had on the confederate flag is the one i feel right there with ya!
not everybody that flies one is racist. too often we are all painted with the same brush and that ain't cool!!!
if guitar is your new thing check out Stevie Ray Vaughan "Texas Flood" live at the el mocambo .
that brother will change your life!
Bosido Brown at 10:38 "They Turned It Up" : me "Oh just hang on and get ready for the ride!". And speaking of "Fun" you need to listen to "What's yo' name" .
Dude... You gotta check out Stevie Ray Vaughn - Voodoo Child... You'll never forget it
It's simple. That flag represents "Rebellion". Doesn't matter the race of the person displaying it.
"That's a whole lot of white people" 😂😂😂 love your reaction
Love your reaction when they turned it up!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
One of the guitar players use to be called the mad hater... back when i saw him he changed hats after every song
The mad hater is the bass player the late Leon Wilkeson and he had a habit of changing hats every song and that's what earned him that nickname
@@spike3082 thank you every other members name was coming to me but Leon.
Love your reactions!
Welcome to the greatest American band in history .. enjoy the ride
This concert was on the 4th of July weekend. And most of the girls were there to see Peter Frampton. But I’m sure lots of them became Skynnrd fans after seeing this performance.
Kicking ass in the 70"s!!!!🤩
Grew up on zeppelin, Still remember ,when Skynard came out, 3 ripped ass guitars and a Great American southern poet Ronnie, the reason they were so good, they busted there ass, poor white boys, from Jacksonvill Fla,
I was at that show. Johnny Winter was the next band.. incredible show. Oakland Rocks. Back in the 70's the confederate flag was a symbol of limited government and personal freedom from government. It has been morphed over the last 40 years into what is today. California was all about as much freedom as possible back then. The rebel flag was everywhere. Boy has that shifted. Seems like California wants nothing to do with freedom anymore. Great reaction BTW. Hey just for you. I went to a Spinners and Temptations show a week later. Great show! Not a lot of palefaces there. Lol
Gary Rossington made the bird sounds on his guitar by hitting the slide in between frets! Yes the guitar made that sound!
So many people associate the Confederate Flag with racism, yet it has nothing to do with racism. The Confederate Flag is about heritage and culture. Unfortunately, some of the people of that heritage and culture are racists. So when people see the Confederate Flag, they assume that the person with it is racist. The funny thing is, I have seen A LOT of black people with it. They have it because they understand that the flag itself is not a symbol of racism, it is a symbol of heritage and culture. Those are the educated people. The uneducated people are the ones who associate it with racism. I wish more people would learn about it, so they know what it actually represents ( it is not racism ).
From an LSU grad I always liked MSU fans and now I like them even more. Best reaction channel I Have ever seen. Yall go beat Bama this weekend
just subscribed, you are killin me. Love the reaction.🤣😎
These guys RIGHTLY were proud of the confederacy for all the right reasons.
They were not even slightly racist.
Listen to The Ballad of Curtis Loew !
The guitar in the beginning is whistling like a "Freebird" !
LMAO. The first time I saw this video, I thought the same thing: Look at that Budweiser on top of the piano!!😂
1977, I saw Led Zeppelin at the forum in Inglewood California, and Lynyrd Skynyrd at Anaheim stadium California 1977, I was 19, you don’t have to pick you just have fun and enjoy Great concerts.
What you hear their brother is pure Raw Talent Gary rossington manipulating the cords with a slide creating the bird sound and the whistle at the end
The Guitarest of Lynyrd Skynyrd was the 3 Guitar attack
It was almost 10 min on album, record company & producers said song too long for radio play. The guys said that is how we play it & abt 48 yrs they still play it on the radio on a regular basis!
Hey I went to see Richard Pryor in 70's & we said we felt like marshmallows in a cup of hot chocolate. Lol we loved Richard Pryor!
There is a live version on the gold n platinum album its recorded in Atlanta thats long like this. And He says play it pretty for Oakland here where on the album he says Atlanta
Interesting trivia, this was the Rolling Stones stage. A facade of big lips and a tongue. They were told not to walk out on the tongue. It would make Mick Jagger mad. So what did these good ol boys do.
Yep. I heard Ronnie said, "Hell we would've moved the entire set up down on the tongue, but we couldn't fit the piano and a few other pieces of equipment". It was something along those lines..
No this was the Oakland Coliseum. The Stones show was in Knebworth, England. There was no better performance than the Knebworth show, they absolutely killed it. That's where Mick Jagger told Lynyrd Skynyrd to do whatever they wanted on stage except for going out on the tongue. Ronnie being Ronnie & told his guitarist to go play on the tongue. The rest is history
Nope. That’s a different video.
Thank you brother.
I'm so glad you feel that way about the Confederate flag. It's all about who's flying it and why. I was a teen when this was made and yup. I'm now old like all those in that video. I'm so happy to see you enjoy music I loved when I grew up. Case in point. Access to music was very limited back then. Like I owned the 8 track to this band. There was no internet with ITunes and such. There were record/tape stores and the radio. If you made it big it was Soul Train or American Bandstand. Like a different world. Peace and love to all and thank you again.
SKYNYRD ALL DAY EVERY DAY CHECK OUT THEIR WORK YOU WILL LIKE THEM A LOT MORE.
Just proudfull music, no hate, your right that flag represents pride for family and location,not hate for some, your open mindness helpse as a white man from Pittsburgh,keep it up Homer,all respect!!!!!
The Charlie Brown Rock and Roll Dancers !
Cool Reaction.Ryan is my 2nd Cousin. It’s all about heritage it’s not about hate some of my best friends are black guys some of the sexiest women I know are black.
