Allen Collins...self-taught guitarist whose blistering solo on "Freebird" was done in 2 takes during the original recording. R I P to one of the most underrated guitarists ever.

God this takes me back!!! I was 18yrs old and running wide open. Such a great time to grow up!!!

Rossington's signature guitar licks on this one.

Nighthawks 1981 brought me here

Unbelievable rock and roll had to be there to believe it Darryl kranzt pardon me i did not spell your name correctly but I truly know and respect your thunderous voice

When these guys did the instrumental of Free Bird, with Ronnies hat hanging front & center on the mic stand - I thought the balcony of The Tower Theatre was going to come down.

I was at this concert. I recall conflict happening within the band. Was great to see them/heartbreaking to see what was happening between them.

Rutger Hauer scene in Nighthawks..with Stallone and Billy Dee Williams. 1981.

Nighthawks!

Awesome guitar work.

Great guitar work and lyrics. Plus those awesome hair styles ☺ x ♥ x

SUCH A GREAT SONG!

A classic from a band that scenario fits analogy “ If you wanna sing the blues you gotta pay the dues” Such a shame that Rock has died!

ALLEN COLLIN'S. RIP😥

Sin dudarlo gary rossington y allen collins, tenian lo que se necesita para ser musicos y con esto lo demostraron, les sobraba talento y podian llegar mas lejos aun de lo que imaginaban , siempre van a ser mis guitarristas favoritos desde sus comienzos en lynyrd skynyrd , son los mejores a mi gusto personal

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Opportunity Lyrics There've been times when I Have stumbled over my mistakes And there've been times when I Have fallen flat on my face But you tell me there's never been A day like that for you Then I'll stop and listen To what you think I should do Now I can take this pressure That you think you're handing down But take off the robe And put the gavel down Cause nothing changes in this life But everything, my friend Don't go cryin' 'bout today Because of what has been Opportunity is for the taking Look inside yourself, you'll see Then go clean up your own backyard, Leave my yard to me Now, if the cup had Really not been meant to pass to me Surely I would not presume to drink But there they are And they're reaching out for me What else would you have me to think Opportunity is for the taking Look inside yourself, you'll see Then go clean up your own backyard, Leave my yard to me There've been times when I Have stumbled over my mistakes And there've been times when I Have fallen flat on my face But you tell me there's never been A day like that for you Then I'll stop and listen To what you think I should do Opportunity is for the taking Look inside yourself, you'll see Then go clean up your own backyard, Leave my yard to me

Great band

R.I.p sir

tuliguy oh ya earlier 80s awesome love the song and movie

The original, pre crash versions of LS, and RCB far exceeded most bands of thier era as far far as musical ability. The average Rock music fan usually isn't schooled into what it actually takes to make great music. And, to more importantly, play together as a band. Its a lost art. The bullshit bands of the 90's in particular, relied on wierd noises to fool people into thinking they were good musicians

Almost 2020, no dislikes...

Hilary Thompson's last song before she went to a better life

Better than Kansas. More life- alike.

Good quality, thank you, it's a real pleasure. No offense here, i'm just curious why some people post videos with awful sound record. It is unpleasant to the ears.
