@@trongkhoiduong2976 what are you talking about, kid? I love Skynyrd, and the Ed King era. If you can't hear how many clashes of poor harmony notes played in this live version, you have to be seriously tone deaf, soft lad. Don't try attempting lecturing on any kind of music to me, I'm a top muso! I'll bet you're crap on guitar, that's even if you play which I very much doubt.
That dissonance is what makes the fucking solo so amazing. The entire fucking appeal of Lynyrd Skynyrd's triple guitar attack is blending melodies and overlapping guitar licks. The entire reason the song is as great as it fucking is (and it truly is one of the greatest fucking songs ever written) is the same reason you found to dislike it. Boo you
@@Liam-fn8yl you're right there. But, this solo is all over the fucking show, re harmony with just the two soloing guitars. It's a fucking mess. Anyone with ears can tell that. I love early Skynyrd, but there's a reason why this live version never appeared on any recordings. It's far too non complimentary! Almost like they're just trying to outdo each other. It would have been much better if they'd let each other do their bit, back and forth, like. Boo you, too.
@@georgea2527 I have always thought the three solos in That Smell pretty much put to rest the issue of creative melodic guitar solos by any guitarist anywhere, a few exeptions Santana and Hendrix at Woodstock.

And he is still alive.

Baddd Assss been listening for 50years Wish I could listen 50 More!!! Saw Ed King and Allen Collins then Allen Collins and Steve Gaines!!! Man Oh man what a rock band Best ever 🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️🙏
Skynyrd was so well rehearsed the y could play the solos in every song exactly the same every time. Al Kooper would talk about how he had never met any band that could do that.
It's called organized chaos, but yes they rode that wave of southern rock coming up like ABB years before and would also do extended chaos jams that sounded like train wrecks going off the rails, only to suck itself back from doom, and show that it was all well rehearsed, and planned, this was their psychedelic wink and nod, as well as flexing their musical knowledge on dynamics, just when you think you can't add anymore layers into the mix all a sudden something else is stacked on top
Listen to live Outlaws recordings from '75-'76, especially "Green grass and high tides" and you'll hear similar skills. And for what it's worth, I think Hughie Thomasson was Skynyrd's best guitarist.
I think had the crash not happened Allen would’ve begun to separate from the pack (talent wise). He was a big Johnny Winter fan (hence the Firebird) and even this early (‘74) you can see Allen standing out. And with some Boxing training, weight gain and a haircut, eventually he could’ve whupped Ronnie 😆🤣
This version feels more chaotic with King's playing, but it gives it a more stand out sound, whereas woth Gaines, it sounds more polished, more cohesive. Each version is good in its own right
I've always preferred the older versions. Especially, when it was just Allen and Gary doing it for a short while. ❤ This song started out as a small seed and grew into a towering Oak. Great to see good shots of Bob too! 🎉
Very interesting fact that the bands discipline was no doubt in stowed by Ronnie due to his no nonsense never give up drive. One could only guess where the whole thing would have led, he no doubt would have taken country charts as well due to its change, and it was said he was supposed to cut an album with Meril Haggard, and I believe another great one from the countryside. But it was his fierce drive that killed him, choosing to board a plane with known problems in order to keep the show rolling. I know he probably was told it would be ok, but I know I wouldn't have done it, if I'd had to rent a whole other plane Id paid the money to do so. It was what he was, in his own words, if it's your time it's your time, and evidently, his time was up....
Although playing rhythm on this song, Gary Rossington's guitar was the signiture sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd !!! with his melodically gifted note bending sound and technique , his guitar was usually carrying the load in most of their best songs ,, Allen Collins was the fastest on the fret board for solos, and Ed King was an outstanding all around guitar 2 filling in and feeding off Collins acrobatics on the fretboard but Rossington was the main man and the Van Zant brothers knew this .
I think Ronnie should left the stage when the vocals were done and then let the guitars finish it off. He looks kind of out-of place just circling center stage for 10 minutes.
He keeps them in time if they get out of time (which isn't very often), but he also decides when enough is enough (when to stop the solos). Also, if he wasn't there to watch over King & Rossington, they can get out of sorts sometimes (I've seen it), and Ronnie cracks the whip and doesn't let anything get missed.....anything...... he was a stickler. But I know what you are saying and in this particular concert he was a little different the way he was hovering back there a bit differently.
He very well might’ve been. He definitely contributed a lot of timeless riffs including the band’s premiere song. Whether conscious or subconscious I think the rest of the guys were torn between welcoming Ed’s undeniable contributions yet not wanting a non southerner and non original member potentially taking over the band. Two years later they were much more welcoming of Steve Gaines. Because he was an Okie and “redneck” like themselves? I think it was more the timing and that Steve was Cassie’s brother. They welcomed the “kick in the ass”.
Sadly he didn’t look like the rest of the band and I know they felt he didn’t look good up on the stage and not being a southerner they singled him out. We miss the hell out of the band but dearly missing Ed 💔
All those hours rehearsing in the shed behind Ronny Van Zant's parents' house paid off. These guys were super tight when they got signed. Rehearsing in that place in the Florida heat must've been hell.
Let's see. 1974? I was more of an Allman Bros fan at the time but it can't be denied that was a great performance. Back to the present day and I'm fascinated with their three guitar approach.
Saw second helping tour with Ed King and Allen Collins then one more from the road tour with Steve and Allen at the fairgrounds in Nashville TN (Priceless) 😍🤘 🎸🎸🎸🎸
The BEST solo version of "Organized chaos" from LS. Singling out each one you can hear such clean playing. I cant pick out the best but i have to give it to Allen.
A few critics in the past made the comment that Mr. Collins was a "sloppy" player. Well, this puts that to rest, along with the rest of the band. They were all in their early 20s when this was recorded. I have visitors from Germany that come to visit every year. One time I showed them this video and both of them said, "Ah yes, Musikhalle in Hamburg. Ya, Lynyrd Skynyrd...Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama. We know and like them too in Germany...."
Arguably to greatest song with the greatest solo in Rock History.... Done by Allen Collins on a Gibson Firebird! And King and Rossington are no slouches either.....
Allen had a guitar and an amp lived on the right side of the tracks. So what lots of upper middle class kids get guitars for Christmas. Ronnie and that shack in the swamplands brought out something in him. All of them actually.
They should have really played their solos separately. There was some really crappy discordant shit going on for a while, there.

Ed and Steve were the only two players who wandered off the ranch on solos. Eds solo on MCA is very different than this album solo.
Listen to live Outlaws recordings from '75-'76, especially "Green grass and high tides" and you'll hear similar skills. And for what it's worth, I think Hughie Thomasson was Skynyrd's best guitarist.
1974. Great stuff. You could tell they practiced like hell and this early performance sounds very much like the album version.
Ed King was always an Outsider. Being from California.
They could go on forever if you let ‘em.. lol holy shit that was good
Firebird sounded incredible!!!
Yea, Firebirds really cut thru the background clutter! 🤘
I think had the crash not happened Allen would’ve begun to separate from the pack (talent wise).
He was a big Johnny Winter fan (hence the Firebird) and even this early (‘74) you can see Allen standing out.

If you want more Ed King. Here's 2 songs from Strawberry Alarm Clock I like Ed's playing on. "Hog Child " & "I saw the Fat one coming"😊 Enjoy
This version feels more chaotic with King's playing, but it gives it a more stand out sound, whereas woth Gaines, it sounds more polished, more cohesive. Each version is good in its own right
Good stuff.
Allen on that Firebird..
He could sure make that thing sing
I just got a Firebird to go next to my Allen Collins poster.
Good seeing Bob Burns for sure.
These guys are the best of the best flying hi great jam Ronnie is the heart of it all hi energy Allen Ed Gary 😊
wow haven't seen this footage before..Bob and Ed

i saw them live in concert in 72' ronnie was so liquored up....kept saying "we' ll playin' freebird when we're ready to
This is a masterpiece
I've always preferred the older versions.
Especially, when it was just Allen and Gary doing it for a short while. ❤

He coulda went out for a beer, called the wife, mowed the lawn …
Was Gaines off that night?
Here’s a question I’ve never seen asked anywhere, but surely it’s been thought of....
Ed King vs Steve Gaines
Who takes it ?
From what I've seen/heard, Gaines.
Tie
Ed was King
j'ai joué sur une Firebird, inutile de dire pourquoi cette guitare
Just when they were going to start making a lot of money, they got snuffed out by irresponsible pilots.
They look sleepy and high and not very entertaining given the songs uptempo…😴😏
A drum set in the back of Bob Burns tells me they were the opening act.Too bad for the headliner.
Dosent look that hard to play....................TRY IT !🥳
And what you are seeing here is the most Badass band to ever grace a stage!! Nothing and I mean Nothing will ever come close!
Best guitarists of the world played with lynyrd skynyrd...Allen, King, Rossington, Gaines.....what else...
Rickey.
Gary had a Dickey bettes shirt on here🙏
Ed was the best guitarist in that band, I don't give a shit what anyone says, he was pushed aside.
He very well might’ve been. He definitely contributed a lot of timeless riffs including the band’s premiere song.

I think it was more the timing and that Steve was Cassie’s brother. They welcomed the “kick in the ass”.
I agree 💯👍
Collins #1 King #2
In 94 Ed played Allen's solo note for note. Think Ed might have had some input into Allen's legendary solo?????
Sadly he didn’t look like the rest of the band and I know they felt he didn’t look good up on the stage and not being a southerner they singled him out. We miss the hell out of the band but dearly missing Ed 💔
Darn, could Allen play that guitar!
not that difficult actually
This is first time seeing video footage with Bob playing drums. Never saw Ed play the SG except in SAC.I&P.
Surprised Collin’s guitar didn’t catch fire!
Collins is the goat. Don't tell me anything else
Fuck n A😎
Happy Birthday Ed! 9-14-49. RIP.
Steve Gains has exactly same birthday
Ed and Allen cutting head's is so freaking awesome!
what do you mean?
@@harpoon_bakery162 cutting head's is when two or more guitarist are swapping playing the solos back and forth trying to one up the other.
@@marlonmurphy92 AH, thank you so much, kind of like Dueling Banjos when Glen Campbell would do that with Carl Jackson?
This kicks every other guitar solos ass that was ever made….
Except Eddie Vanhalen
Disagree! The Outlaws' Green Grass and High Tides solo was better (in MHO)
Sounds like a bunch of crazy eagles screaming their hearts out: love it.
Hol..Lee shit!

Saw Collins and Gains together which was priceless, but wish I saw King and Collins.
