You said you never heard anything like that before. And you’ll never hear anything like that again. That was a once in lifetime performance and the greatest guitar solo of all time.

You’re absolutely right Artimus Pyle was beating those damn drums like a machine gun.

I Always Love watching how Allen Collins looks like he wants to rip the whammy bar right off his guitar during that ending crescendo 🙂

That’s when the guys would let us girls in the front so we could see!😂❤❤❤

Its always nice to see the younger generation enjoy real music from great bands

Born in 1954 so had the pleasure of 60s and 70s music. Those little hippie chicks are now grannys, God i miss the 70s.

Ronnie Van Zant - vocals and leader of the band; Allen Collins - guitar; Gary Rossington - guitar; Steve Gaines - guitar; Artimus Pyle - drums; Leon Wilkeson - bass; Billy Powell - piano; Their last performance was South Carolina’s Greenville Memorial Auditorium on Oct. 19 1977 Free Bird lasted for 20 mins The next day boarded their plane that was unsafe the Fuel gauge was broke. The only way to check the fuel was with a stick. The plane ran out of fuel the engines were burning too rich and wasting precious fuel. One engine shut down then the other did. The plane went down over pine trees killing the members of the band, Ronnie Van Zant lead singer, guitarist Steve Gaines, and vocalist Cassie Gaines, that day was the saddest in Southern Rock. I was 20 when I heard about it on the radio. I cried like a baby.

I seen em 1977 summer at mile high stadium .7 bands,12 hours. It was unbelievable

I didn't make it to Woodstock but i was at this concert. 3 brunettes with the sun burnt blond to our left on a guy's shoulders. It was awesome! Then the awful crash 😢😢😢😢😢

Dude had no idea that he's about to hear the best piece of guitar music ever made.

The person I was dating my senior year of high school took me to this tour in St. Louis the Fall before this concert. We sat 2nd row center and The Outlaws opened up for them. Yes we looked great back then. Now I have 6 grandchildren lol

Great to see young folks enjoying the greatest southern rock band ever. This is the greatest closing song bar none.

I absolutely love your reaction. This is the finest live performance of any song I've ever witnessed, be it in person or on video.

Allen Collins did break the tremolo bar off the guitar at the 1976 Knebworth show during this song.

I was lucky enough to be a teenager at this time. Never got the chance to see Skynyrd or Led Zeppelin. But have seen about every legendary band from Aerosmith to ZZ Top. Hope your wish to go to a real rock concert comes true. Going to sound like the old man I am now. There are no rock bands today that can compare to the groups of the 70s.

I was born 1958. Music really changed late 60's for better. Enjoy these old videos/ recordings. Great music has its own language

Nice reaction Mauro. The sad thing is some of them died in the bands plane crash three months later RIP 😢

You’re watching absolutely greatness!!

You’re spot on! Best time ever to be alive! Too bad we didn’t quite know what we had or how good it was. And no, I doubt they’re married at all. He was on her the entire concert and she was NOT happy! She wanted to watch the concert.

Great reaction. you may also enjoy the live version of Lynyrd Skynyrd T for texas 1976 kenworth concert.

I was born in 1966. I lived in the best generation

Oh how you underestimate that last instrumental. That is 3 guitarists, 2 playing the main duet, with the bassist also rocking out. This isn't just a performance. This is Legend. If you want another great live Skynyrd song check out; You got that right - 7/13/1977 - Convention Hall (official) There is reason these guys are still legends to this day. Hope everyone is having a great week & much love to everyone from here in the UK

It is quite sad the only person from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Original, that is still alive. Today is the drummer. Everyone else is resting in peace.

They were very happy times never to be duplicated...sad

There were still some steel beer cans used up until 1980, when they were completely replaced by aluminum..That's what you're seeing there..Damn things were near impossible to crush with your hand!

Great band!

Man of Culture reference...Excellent!!

New sub and I graduated high school the year you were born!! I thought I’d try ya out… I love Italian food! Hahaha 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I subscribe you, freebird is the one of comforting and enjoying song, and i like your reaction 😂❤

Yes sir Ronnie we still remember you…

WHAT WERE YOU WATCHING?? YOU WERE WATCHING A BAND THAT HAS BEEN , IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST EVER!! 🐐🔥🎸😍😁😢

Welcome to "Southern Rock" brother... theres all kinda great rock bands from this Era in America...

I love watching people's faces when My all time favorite band kicks it into High Gear and Shredds the Living Hell out of those 6 slingers ! Allen Collins and Stevie Gaines were 2 of the greatest guitarist that's ever lived ! I ran upon your channel and saw you reacting to my favorite band and I grew up jamming out to these legends.. I've saw em twice but not the original . I was fortunate enough to see Billy Powell the keyboard player and Leon Wilkeson the Bass player in Riverbend Cincinnati in 96 and both of them have passed on and I also saw The founding member of the Guitar Army Actual name The Outlaws out of Florida to and Huey Thomason was playing with Skynyrd when I saw em in 96 . You wanna hear some more shredding the Absolute Hell out of guitars you can react to The Outlaws Green grass and High Tides and listen to the studio version and I promise you will flip a lid and need a bunch of Cold Beer and maybe a good shot of Wild Turkey 💯

No cell phones, no bras, no worries. Just people having a great time.

This performance will melt your face !!

Your music level is too low… about 20-30dB. It’s always better to have the music louder than your voice during a reaction. Try it and ask a friend to choose between different settings. Great reaction, thank you! EDIT: Go to a rock concert! You’ll thank me…. :)

Great reaction Mauro. If you would like to take a journey with Lynyrd Skynyrd down the southern rock rabbit hole, I suggest their live versions of "T for Texas" and "Call Me the Breeze" for some more three guitar army, let-it-rip southern boogie.

I want to visit lake Como and see where my Moto Guzzi was built. I've heard its beautiful.

You are watching one of the best bands of all time, play one of the top rock songs of all time, with one of the best solos of all time.

The beer cans back then were made of Steel . If You could crush one with one hand you were a badass!!!!!!!!!!!! . Watch the film "Jaws" .

We had it great..high-school '77 to '81...we kicked ass..and the ladies were BEAUTIFUL..men were men, and women were women! The beer cans were not aluminum yet.

On The Hunt - Winterland 1975

that was me kissing that girl

I was born a yr later in 78. Both my parents were there. I wonder when and where I was conceived? Totally not there. ( I'm being sarcastic, nonAmericans.) I was totally there, in ball and egg form. 😁😁😁

Dudw if you didn't know how long Free Bird is lol.

They were the best, simply put. Artimus Pyle is still an excellent drummer. He’s the only one left.

12:55

Three months after this their plane crashed killing Ronnie, Steve & Cassie

Have you ever heard Freebird before this?

pisano ...
