'I also think Freebird' live at Oakland California, 1977 is one of the greatest live rock era video versions ever recorded of any song. It is a must see! We are so blessed to have such stuff on tape. Cheers.
Another great song by Skynyrd is that smell. True story about Gary Rossington. Everyone called Gary Prince charming. And he did hit a oak tree with a brand new car.
Yes that stadium is about 20 minutes from my house. I was there with so many beautiful girls. OMG. WOW. Been to many concerts there and the Arena next door. So sad this band was tragically involved in a plane crash about 3 months after the aforementioned Oakland show. Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant died along with one of their three guitarists Stevie Gaines and his sister Cassie. Many injured.That was the end of the original band. I saw them also at Winterland in San Francisco 1976
The singer (Ronnie) is the one sitting in the center, rear row. The song was written after the death of the grandmother of the guitarist (Gary) sitting center front.
What a thoughtful reaction. And yes Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the most iconic bands in the history of Rock music. They tragically ended in the late seventies when they're crappy plane they were flying around in on their intense touring crashed and it killed several people and injured lots of others and it basically ended the band forever. Aversion with a brother and whatnot kind of formed later, and I saw them and it was good, but it's more or less a tribute band to the original band of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Ronnie Van Zant is the name of the lead singer and he wrote the majority of their lyrics. But they all collaborated a lot and all of those guys were so talented. They were just so good. They came out of Florida and named themselves after their High School gym teacher, lol. I know everybody's telling you to watch the live version of Freebird in Oakland or at the other place, either way both of them were getting closer and closer to the tragic plane crash, but I also know this stuff inside out and a hit and a massively huge fan favorite, and one that I think you would really enjoy just based on their actions I've seen, is there song called The Ballad Of Curtis Loew.
Left to right is Leon Wilkeson bass, Billy Powell piano, Ronnie Van Zant vocals, Gary Rossington (seated) guitar, Bob Burns drums, Allen Collins guitar, and Ed King guitar. This photo was taken in downtown Jonesboro, Georgia, in March 1973. Notice in the photo the bolt of lightning that appears behind Ed Kings head and the cars going by. I believe it was Gary Rossington whom received this advice from his mom or grandma. This album was their first release in August 1973 and you pronounced the name perfectly. Southern Rock is the genre. This is a classic. So much more to explore. Great Reaction and Thanks.
Great reaction. One of my most favorite songs. The lyrics alone are amazing, but I love the bass line. Probably one of the most beautifully done bass lines I've heard. You did a wonderful job pronouncing the name. Thanks for doing this one.
Great reaction! A beautiful song with a message everyone should take to heart. Skynyrd is one of my favorite Southern Rock bands, along with Marshall Tucker and the Outlaws. BTW, you pronounced it perfectly.
"Freebird",the 77" live in Oakland California performance as well as "Gimme Back My Bullets" Fun Facts,LYNYRD SKYNYRD was named after a high school teacher by the name Leonard Skinner😅
The band left to right in that picture if I can do it Leon Wilkeson. Bass Billy Powell. Keyboard Ronnie Van Zant. Lead Vocals Gary Rossington Guitar Bob Burns. Drums Allen Collins. Guitar Ed King. Guitar The song was written by Ronnie & Gary I think that all correct but it’s been awhile. 😂
Awesome song/reaction!! Lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt is the guy with his back on the brick,They sure knew how to make some good music.Try “Gimee 3 steps” & “Call me the breeze” these you should enjoy,Thanx4content 💯
Personally my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is "I Know a Little", followed by "Honky Tonk Night Time Man". Very sad about the 1977 airplane crash that had befell the band. Similar to that of Buddy Holly (1959), Jim Croce (1973), Stevie Ray Vaughan (1990), Patsy Cline (1963), Otis Redding (1967), Randy Rhoads (1982), John Denver (1997), and Glenn Miller (1944). Very talented musicians taken well before their time. OTOH, The Beatles flew around the world almost 3 times, and criss crossed the USA several times in 1960s era planes. Luck of the draw I guess.
The OG LS was 7 members 3 guitars bass drums piano lead singer. Considered Southern Rock. I great suggestions for other songs. Myself I say LS did not make a bad song, cant go wrong. Thank you for your reaction.
Of course everyone is going to say Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama and yes they are great, but don't short yourself on Skynyrd. Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, Saturday Night Special, What's Your Name, The Ballad Of Curtis Lowe and That Smell are all great songs as well. They have a long list of hits, but these will get you started
I love how you get so excited talking about all the classic stuff. It was what I grew up on. Carry on Re. There is no love nor passion in a lot of modern music,it's sad.
Lots of folks recommending the live version of Freebird. No doubt that video shows the total vibe of the era and the iconic nature of the band and the song. The audio however is less than great. I'll catch a lot of flack for saying this but if you're going to react to Freebird, and I certainly think any reactor should, the studio version is the way to go for the first listen.
The music I grew up listening too. Also Charlie Daniels, outlaws, Marshal Tucker, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, I still get sad seeing them, I can’t forget that tragic plane crash, it still makes me so sad, love your reactions.
Ronnie was the greatest storyteller of them all. There are many great artists and bands from this era but you would be hard pressed to find better than Skynyrd. Enjoy your journey you have many miles to go but it won't disappoint...
From Lynyrd Skynyrd, you could listen to every single song. Ronnie van Zant was propably the coolest frontman you ever could watch. He never wrote down a song, for him it was "either i remember or it isn´t worth it". Simple man is the rock song with the deepest and most meaningful lyrics of all time. Every MAN need to follow its message and could be a happy guy. Other songs who are a HAVE-to-Listen 1.) Free bird. The song with the longest guitar "solo" of all time, watch a LIVE-version, this is much better as their recorded version. 2.) Ballad of Curtis loew. The second best blues song for me. Only Ride On by AC/DC is better for me. 3.) That Smell 4.) T for Texas 5.) Saturday Night special All live - MUCH better then the Studio versions, even if these are already great. Oh compare Simple Man from Lynyrd Skynyrd with the live version of Shinedown, THIS version th-cam.com/video/cKiXmBbVN8Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MikeNadi1 The only one who come near the original. But they were allowed to perform it, because the singer is married with the daughter of one of Lynyrd Skynyrds band members
You pronounced the band name quite well. I pronounce it the same was as you did but I have a different accent than you as I am from the North East US not fare from New York City. The album cover actually has the phonetic pronunciation under the band name. Also, the band had US Southern accents and the band was actually name after their high school gym teach Leonard Skinner if I am not mistaken.
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎻 .. okay Re .... I think it is fair to say that you have quickly become a true fan of Classic Rock , with its long list of legends. I could not be happier that you are part of this culture. I am very anxious for your journey into Tom Petty and also Electric Light Orchestra ( E.L.O. ) , there are many astounding songs in your future. 🎀
Lynyrd skynyrd was there high school gym teacher who always gave them crap about their long hair and told them they would never amount to anything so the named their band after him as a f-u and changed I s to Y s in the spelling to not be sued
You are pronouncing it properly, and yes it is a band from the rock subgenre you seem to like: Blues Rock, Southern Rock, Rock-n-Soul. Funny enough, the album cover on your screen is from their first album which as you can see under their name is titled, "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd." That's literally the name of the album. The lead singer's name was Ronnie Van Zant. He passed away in a plane crash in the late 70s. This band was huge in the early to mid 70s. They are from Jacksonville, Florida. Another band you might enjoy from this subgenre is The Black Crowes. Their song "Remedy" is one you should react to: it's a mix of rock and soul.
I can tell you this ,if these fellas had Christian Mothers and being from the Southern USA,they all got told to be a simple sort of man in their needs.In the end that is all that matters.
Great reaction! I know another song that you'll really enjoy. It could be their most underrated one. It's called "Comin' Home" (th-cam.com/video/GYVr55Rgnlg/w-d-xo.html).
The album cover has a pronunciation key on it! Which was a brilliant choice for their 1st album. This album is often called "Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd "
'I also think Freebird' live at Oakland California, 1977 is one of the greatest live rock era video versions ever recorded of any song. It is a must see! We are so blessed to have such stuff on tape. Cheers.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird - 7/2/1977 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official)
It just doesn't get much better than that.
i live in Jacksonville, Fl...where Lynyrd Skynyrd started. They are our musical heroes. The plane crash that killed many of them was devastating.
Another great song by Skynyrd is that smell. True story about Gary Rossington. Everyone called Gary Prince charming. And he did hit a oak tree with a brand new car.
I love this song! The simple truths that people forget today.
Check out Freebird live at Oakland California, 1977
Yes that stadium is about 20 minutes from my house. I was there with so many beautiful girls. OMG. WOW. Been to many concerts there and the Arena next door. So sad this band was tragically involved in a plane crash about 3 months after the aforementioned Oakland show. Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant died along with one of their three guitarists Stevie Gaines and his sister Cassie. Many injured.That was the end of the original band. I saw them also at Winterland in San Francisco 1976
eh, it's so cliched by now that it's laughable how Freebird is all 99% of people know of Skynyrd.
Doesn’t get more heartfelt than this. Great choice and reaction.
soothing, positive message, powerful, simple - (wo)man, you nailed it. Really liked this reaction.
The singer (Ronnie) is the one sitting in the center, rear row. The song was written after the death of the grandmother of the guitarist (Gary) sitting center front.

Dang, that was so garbled. Thanks autocorrect!
Skinner from the Simpsons seem also to be done because of the original of LS :D
A song every young person should here and follow.

So amazingly beautiful, and so is this song. Loved your reaction.
@@DeanWilmot-z3l thank you, I loved this song too!
If you want to rock it out: "Call Me The Breeze".
I agree 💯 percent....the piano solo is incredible
YES!
Gimme three steps is a jaunty little ditty too!
I know a little.
Yes
Freebird...live from Oaklad CA, 1977 will blow your mind.
I love the way that you listen so intensely to the song to try to digest the message.
God bless the Simple Man!
Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama next.
and Tuesday's Gone.
I can almost guarantee that she probably is at least familiar with "Sweet Home Alabama". Everyone seems to know that one no matter where they're from.
Great reaction. One of my most favorite songs. The lyrics alone are amazing, but I love the bass line. Probably one of the most beautifully done bass lines I've heard. You did a wonderful job pronouncing the name. Thanks for doing this one.
Welcome to the music i grew up with! Thanks for experiencing some of the greatest music ever made.
Love this song. Just a classic.
That is southern rock at it’s finest 😊
Great reaction! A beautiful song with a message everyone should take to heart. Skynyrd is one of my favorite Southern Rock bands, along with Marshall Tucker and the Outlaws. BTW, you pronounced it perfectly.
They were a Jacksonville, Fl band.
DUUUVAAALLL!
"Freebird",the 77" live in Oakland California performance as well as "Gimme Back My Bullets" Fun Facts,LYNYRD SKYNYRD was named after a high school teacher by the name Leonard Skinner😅

I think that all correct but it’s been awhile. 😂
My Favorite LS song.
Words that many, many of us still live by each day!
Welcome to some of the best southern rock from Jacksonville Fl.
Skynyrd was around for about 4 yeas after recording their 1st album....they have DOZENS of great songs
Awesome song/reaction!! Lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt is the guy with his back on the brick,They sure knew how to make some good music.Try “Gimee 3 steps” & “Call me the breeze” these you should enjoy,Thanx4content 💯
You are doing a great job. I've just discovered you and I'm hooked!
Personally my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is "I Know a Little", followed by "Honky Tonk Night Time Man".
Very sad about the 1977 airplane crash that had befell the band.

Dude leaning against the corner of the building was Ronnie Van Zant he was the singer
True... Mr. Cool.
Time for Peace of Mind on Boston's debut album. Then,... do the entire album. You will die❤in a good way!
All the men must hear the lyrics of this song🤘
I've seen this song touch every man that has reacted to it. I'm 65 and have heard it hundreds of times and the message is what i try to live by.
You get it! Enough said...
Great song
The OG LS was 7 members 3 guitars bass drums piano lead singer. Considered Southern Rock. I great suggestions for other songs. Myself I say LS did not make a bad song, cant go wrong. Thank you for your reaction.
Loved your reaction to this one girl! Your are really great at feeling and recognizing a song's meaning and intention!❤
Shinedowns version of this song is amazing
Best Skynyrd song is "call me the breeze", the piano solo is simply amazing.
Nope, Free Bird and Ballad of Curtis Loew.
This is another classic band so many great songs please dive deeper...
Of course everyone is going to say Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama and yes they are great, but don't short yourself on Skynyrd. Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, Saturday Night Special, What's Your Name, The Ballad Of Curtis Lowe and That Smell are all great songs as well. They have a long list of hits, but these will get you started
Yes.
Southern Rock - well - it rocks!
I love how you get so excited talking about all the classic stuff. It was what I grew up on. Carry on Re. There is no love nor passion in a lot of modern music,it's sad.
This is a song that reaches a lot of men deep.
I’m not religious but I do have some hymns this is one of them
Lots of folks recommending the live version of Freebird. No doubt that video shows the total vibe of the era and the iconic nature of the band and the song. The audio however is less than great. I'll catch a lot of flack for saying this but if you're going to react to Freebird, and I certainly think any reactor should, the studio version is the way to go for the first listen.
Free Bird live, Oakland, CA 1977.
Their song That Smell is an amazing song you will much enjoy.
JUST HOW YOU REACT TO SONGS I KNEW YOU WOULD LIKE THIS ONE
The music I grew up listening too. Also Charlie Daniels, outlaws, Marshal Tucker, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, I still get sad seeing them, I can’t forget that tragic plane crash, it still makes me so sad, love your reactions.
Ronnie was the greatest storyteller of them all. There are many great artists and bands from this era but you would be hard pressed to find better than Skynyrd. Enjoy your journey you have many miles to go but it won't disappoint...
Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut album, "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd"
Beautiful reaction
Good advice for today.
If you ever play Freebird by Skynyrd, make sure it the live version from July 1977 in Oakland CA., it's better than the album version.
The best of southern ROCK. May I suggest Stevie Ray Vaghan, song. Texas Flood. live at the El Macambo. He is the best Texas Blues Rock.
the guy on the far right is the singer. he was killed in a plane crash. such a shame
ronnie vanzant is vocals
give me three steps...after free bird live 1977
From Lynyrd Skynyrd, you could listen to every single song.
Ronnie van Zant was propably the coolest frontman you ever could watch. He never wrote down a song, for him it was "either i remember or it isn´t worth it".
Simple man is the rock song with the deepest and most meaningful lyrics of all time. Every MAN need to follow its message and could be a happy guy.
Other songs who are a HAVE-to-Listen
1.) Free bird. The song with the longest guitar "solo" of all time, watch a LIVE-version, this is much better as their recorded version.
2.) Ballad of Curtis loew. The second best blues song for me. Only Ride On by AC/DC is better for me.
3.) That Smell
4.) T for Texas
5.) Saturday Night special
All live - MUCH better then the Studio versions, even if these are already great.
Oh compare Simple Man from Lynyrd Skynyrd with the live version of Shinedown, THIS version th-cam.com/video/cKiXmBbVN8Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MikeNadi1
The only one who come near the original. But they were allowed to perform it, because the singer is married with the daughter of one of Lynyrd Skynyrds band members
These Florida boys 😊
youre well spoken.. a well speaker... a well peeker
Ever heard of Roy Orbison? A popular singer from the 70's and 80's.
I suggest "Crying" or "Pretty Woman" from his black and white night conceert! ❤
Talking heads - life during wartime...Great song 🎵
They weren't done. RIP free birds. (Ronnie Van Zant is third from the left.)
You pronounced the band name quite well. I pronounce it the same was as you did but I have a different accent than you as I am from the North East US not fare from New York City. The album cover actually has the phonetic pronunciation under the band name.

This good ol’ boy music here
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎻 .. okay Re .... I think it is fair to say that you have quickly become a true fan of Classic Rock , with its long list of legends. I could not be happier that you are part of this culture.
I am very anxious for your journey into Tom Petty and also Electric Light Orchestra ( E.L.O. ) , there are many astounding songs in your future. 🎀
I'm a little biased. I'm from Jacksonville Florida. That is there home. Everything they play is good.
cool song ever hear of stepping wolf magic carpet ride you got to do that song
Nice reaction to a wonderful song. First time on channel enjoyed. PEACE
Oh boy…another catalog
Lynyrd skynyrd was there high school gym teacher who always gave them crap about their long hair and told them they would never amount to anything so the named their band after him as a f-u and changed I s to Y s in the spelling to not be sued
Read the album cover it tells you how to pronounce it under the name The album is call pro nounced
Saturday night special and give me back my bullets. For a harder version of them.
Ronnie the singer is in front of the bricks
You Got That Right...Live version.....
♥♥♥
Pick any song all great precrash before 1978
I was in New Orleans to see them they didn’t make it they had the plane crash so sad
Free Bird
👍

Lynard Skynyrd what was the name of their high school principal
I suggest for RND Reacts, the talented Gabriel Henrique with the cover of Whitney Houston's song, i have not been, in his voice (Gabriel Henrique)
U said it rignt
I can tell you this ,if these fellas had Christian Mothers and being from the Southern USA,they all got told to be a simple sort of man in their needs.In the end that is all that matters.
Freebird live July 1977….
th-cam.com/video/QxIWDmmqZzY/w-d-xo.html
💯👍
Great reaction! I know another song that you'll really enjoy. It could be their most underrated one. It's called "Comin' Home" (th-cam.com/video/GYVr55Rgnlg/w-d-xo.html).
Tuesdays gone from them is great …
The album cover has a pronunciation key on it!
Which was a brilliant choice for their 1st album.
This album is often called "Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd "
God and gun's is a banger but no one ever reacts to it.
Rip
Marry me. Lol.
I’ll suggest his brothers band 38 special. Another great southern rock band!
