Thanks Robert... joe

Thanks Doug... knowing you and others feel that way means everything to me... best, Joe

Thanks David... joe

Thanks Sound... there are more Muscle Shoals videos coming.........joe

The background singers echo...yes they do.

It was probably Ronnie's that way of further making amends for cussing him out! I thought the same thing- just like Ronnie to turn a real mess into a timeless classic lyric. Cheers P[>

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum we sure hope so. what was done on the original freebird to me is the best. bass & drums at the end are very good. background vocals are better. the piano part , well just the whole song is done better. thanks.

@@timacosby Just goes to show that an attentive engineer can really save your a**! NEVER dis the guy at the console! (or the guy running the tape machine!)

I remember seeing the band, who were support for Dutch group Golden Earring, in Bristol UK on 29th November 1974 - Jesus that's 46 years ago and I was 19. Hadn't heard of them and didn't know their music. Can you imagine hearing Free Bird for the first time ever ... live .... the original members? Some things you never forget.

​@@stevepitts7998 you Lucky Dog!

Thank you Al... joe

Thanks for watching 5967……Joe

Thanks L.A.... joe

Hey I used to live just outside of Deland, right on the Lake county side of the Volutia/Lake county line, way way out in the swamp. Good times!

Thank you mVm.... joe

The best! 👍

If I'm not mistaken and I don't believe l am, the same thing happened to a young, edgy Billy Joel on his first album but it was released that way and it bombed. Billy ended up in an asylum for a while.

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts Dave... joe

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum this story blows me away. Back in the 80's, my boyfriend (now husband) moved in with me & he had bought a bunch of really great equipment inc Bose 901's & I believe a 10" reel to reel. I was used to record player & 8 tracks so he showed me how to thread the tape. He had some great music on those tapes. He went out of town for work & I had a party one night & everyone wanted to hear some Kansas so I get the tape & I thread it all up, I was so proud of myself because he only showed me once & that had been wks so I was pattin myself on the back. Turned it on & it sounded like Kansas was playing in a tunnel or a cave it was so muffled & volume was very low. I thought WTF? I listened to abt 2 lines & immediately turned it off because I knew it wasn't right. You guessed it, I had somehow gotten tape flipped over as I was threading it. I was no expert obviously or I wouldn't have gotten it twisted but I knew right away & I knew what I did wrong. Do you tell me how Alan screwed it up & played it for 9 record companies I believe & not ONE of them knew what was wrong? I find that almost unbelievable. I can see where I made mistake but as soon as I heard it I knew. I can't believe not 1 person & I am sure there were more than 1 person in the studio when the tape was played. They must have all been stoned! If Alan hadn't made that mistake or anyone would have known what happened, would Skynyrd have been signed to a label a yr earlier? Would that have changed the whole future of the band? Would they have not been on that fateful plane that night? Hard to day because everything would have happened sooner & they may never had even known abt that plane. I don't know how these record companies loved Free Bird but wanted to make it 3 min song. They are just getting started at 3 min. Every note from Billy's intro to Gary's slide & Ronnie's singing abt bein a Free Bird & then Allen's solo & Gary & Allen's dueling solos is like the bird taking flight & flying off into the sky so what do you cut. Dumb! I still love these guys, still my favorite band & even after all these yrs it is still painful.

But it's the live version(s) that do it for me

All the Stones were there except their producer who had strangely disappeared. So guess who ended up Producing Wild Horses and Brown Sugar..why Jimmy Johnson of course and Keith was introduced to Miss Mini's Famous Fried Chicken. after sitting on the toilet and writing Wild Horses.The unknowing young girl at the counter gave keith a coupon for his next visit. Of course they were gone by the next day so he was unable to cash in on the the 5 cent savings!

The Southern Rock sound started with Duane Allman and Wilson Pickett at the end of Hey Jude!!!!

Thanks for watching Clayton..... joe
