    • @codieroper3335
      @codieroper3335 3 ปีที่แล้ว +60

      Not exactly I’m the 70s it was nearly impossible to get a 3 minute track on lp much less six minutes. Rossingtons intro is actually shortened as well as Collins solo dramatically. The song actually pioneered longer track times due to the popularity of the solo. Fast forward till it was famous and being requested nightly, at this point free bird lasted around 12 minutes and included solos by rossimgton Collins and even Powell’s beautiful piano, whenever Ronnie was tired or felt strained him and the band would literally let Cassies younger brother steve take over notice the soulful jazzy vibe skynyrd came into yep steve. Ronnie himself said that he was young but eventually skynyrd the band would be In his shadow. Which is ironic considering his beautiful single one in the sun. Skynyrd is probably my favorite band of all time not only seeing there future with Collins and rossington in good health but steve man what that kid was going to do the world truly wasn’t ready for. But anyway I’m ranting, but look up Ronnie van zant on steve in one interview he states that when he would feel comfortable leaving a gig early with Steve on vocals and lead guitar. Too many legends lost in one bad night..

      100%.
      Back then you could relate to the guys on stage.... it was regular people doing their thing for the love of music, just like the people watching.
      Many bands back then done the circuit.
      Playing bars, travelling in beat up vans.
      Having to at times fight their way out of venues.
      They all served a long apprenticeship ❤

    It's really cool to see you listen to this. I've heard it so many times Ive lost sight of alot of the little things that make it great.
    It was really great to relive it through you.

    Man the fact that you haven't done stairway to heaven yet shows your audience is not giving you the music you need to hear!!!

      I'm pretty sure he did a reaction to it and it got taken down due to copyright. At least I know that has definitely happened with other Zeppelin songs but I think also with Stairway. Shame since they're my favourite band 😅

      Imagine thinking Stairway to Heaven is better than Free Bird.

      Zeppelin is a dick when it comes to their music.

    The guitarist in question is Allen Collins who came up with this song while he was in high school & the lyrics came from his girlfriend.
    The picture that you're using, Allen would be on the far left.
    I'm not sure if it's still available on TH-cam but if you can find it you might want to check out Freebird at Knebworth when they opened for the Rolling Stones.

    My favorite part of this channel is the variety. I go to one video and just get lost going video after video because it's all such good songs and such a wide variety. Great work sir

    Dude, if you like this check out "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws. It has the same guitarist from before he joined Lynyrd Skynyrd

    Bruh lmao I loved this reaction man. When he said it was a long song and half through the solo I was like this ain’t even the live long version.
