- I wrote this guitar part after Ronnie and Gary had written Simple Man with their parts. We first played it together at The Naked Pear. My part fell right into place as we were performing. As a sideman, I played it with them all over Northeast FL and SE GA in 1970 and 1971 prior to Billy Powell and Ed King joining the band.
what i love about vest's music is the authenticity. i can tell that he really enjoys what he's doing. and the slightly off-tune, "homegrown fingerpicking" guitar work, and raggedy vocals adds to that vibe. steve's harmonica work is actually really good too. just a good ol boy down in the swamp spreading peace, love, and music. god bless ya steve vest
can you imagine what great work he did with Ronnie and all those openings he did
I really like the sound. I envy anyone who can jam on the guitar.
I wish I was your neighbor I would listen to you everyday threw the fence .
What's the LOST part though ?
Steve!!.. Your the best my brother!!....I've been listening to ronnies music sense I was 14 I'm 58 years old now!!.....but you know Steve it seems like it was yesterday!!...my brothers and I still get together every now and then and play his music in the back woods of kentucky!!.....live well my friend and God speed!!...

God bless you man ,rock on southern man,American by birth southern by the grace of God.
It's hard if not impossible to keep a guitar in tune in a hot steamy swamp, I reckon
"let him have his fun okay."
Thanks Steve..awesome as usual!!:)
Janet Brewer Thank You to My First Swamp Chat Fan!!
Keep rockin' Steve! Great stuff as usual. Liked and subbed.
If Neil Young covered Simple Man...
And if Neil didn't know how to tune up.
My school had a talent contest in 1985, and my band won it playing simple man. I had a crappy amp and no money at the time, so a guy at the local bar was able to lend me a marshall jcm 800 amp for the show. They liked the song so much they asked us to play 2 more. I don't remember what the other 2 songs were. That shows you the power of the song "Simple Man". I remembered that one.
Thank you so much Steve !!!!
The more I listen the more i like
The guy is old Bless his heart he has lot young guys beat to hell. THANK YOU STEVE XOOXOXOXXOxOXO LOVE YOU!!!!!

Ronnie’s spirit is rising up from the swamp and possessing you as you sing this LLR&R 🤘 🦅 alligator 🐊

Terrible......just awful.
Well...maybe just awful swamp conditions BUT is was so heartfelt, honest, pure and delivered with such a depth of love and respect that I'm gonna call it...awfully good.
To much smoke.....

good pickin Steve
Simple Man..NICE.
i love steve vest show but can't sing but that's alright his show i like
Sounds like the band America doing the song, or Dan Peek. It's twangy, countrified. It's a different interpretation. I can see another band doing it this way. The twangy high parts sound like America.
The birds chirping in to help almost sound like Gary's slide bird sounds at the end of Freebird that he does live. Great job Steve!! SUBBED!!
Excellent! Rock On Brother!
good boy
So beautiful well done I love this song I sing it to my baby son 16 soon.
Thank you kindly Steve.
Someone needs to be recording just his vocals alone and making music.
I remember you has a prog singer.
love the pickin , Excellent jam ,.
You are a great musician
Right on Steve 💪🏻 You rock
Love this!!
Is this all true Steve ? Love it x
holeee! Festus is playing some geetar. is that an open Q tuning i'm hearing? i think perhaps this original guitar part should stay "lost".
Seems like a nice ol dude,I would say buy a clip on tuner but I bet those strings are 20 yrs old, that's the best tuning he can get! It he seems unwilling to move on from his 2 mins of fame by association! They sure didn't help his poverty any. He feels like part of the boys that abandoned him.That's all he has...his memories. Kinda Sad
Love this song! You do a great job! Thank you for sharing this kind sir! Have a beautiful day!
TUNE THAT GUITAR!!!
ZZ Skynyrd you do understand don't you.....its the feeling, not technical aspects.
@Sven Pollock he's not tuned at all....
and Robin Luck , fuck your feelings....
technical aspects are fundamental...
i love Steve, but he needs a tuner.
And Ronnie said "Tune it up!"
"I say shut it up crow bait."-
As a picker of 25 years, I can say, the rhythm is there. The notes are pretty good too... But the tuning. Eeeeeyaaahhhh! Lol. We still like ya bro.
"he's probably not as rich as you."
@@rogertemple7193”you sound like a real dickhead”
Steve, c'mon man, your guitars are always off tune. Take out that capo too
I thought this song was written in 1972 after Gary's mom died. Am I wrong??
Yes, ur wrong.
@@christopherbako Simple Man” was written by band members Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington. Van Zant’s grandmother and Rossington’s mother passed away around the same time, so the two got together at Van Zant’s apartment to share memories of them. As they talked, the stories they passed back and forth suddenly began to form into a song.
@@sureiseeyou wrong.
@@christopherbako I just found the story in a you tube video where Gary Rossington tells the real story of how it was written in an interview. That story I had read about his mom dying was wrong. One of Ronnie's grandmother's did die at the time but it was really just about their moms and it states that the song was written in the 2nd half of 1971
@@sureiseeyou Yes. If you watch the tribute tour video from 1987, he's interviewed with his mom. She talks about Simple man.
I guess Berlin must have heard you guys that time because that sounds like "Take My Breath Away."
Ummmmmm NO!
Guitar is way out of tune!
