This is amazing. You can learn a lot about rock piano from the way he plays. It's not as simple as some people think.

Billy was amazing. The things he could do to dress up three simple chords were the icing on the cake for this incredible band. Not repetitive, but arranged perfectly to go with the other players in the band. Isolating the piano track makes you realize what a genius he really was.

Met this awesome man years ago. I was in awe of his presents. I ask if I could just touch his talented hands. He was so flattered he kissed my hands. He then told me he had never met someone that asked him that and was most flattered. Oh man, I was the flattered one.❤💋

Its like being able to go back in time and be there and watch as it was recorded

Such a tasteful method of inserting piano between three guitars. There isn't a lot of room. Billy Powell filled the spaces perfectly.

Billy Powell was SO talented!! 👏🙌

His piano was without a doubt the final ingredient to make this band what it was. His piano is just as powerful a part of their sound as the 3 lead guitar attack. Without him, it was not the same band. I never saw the original band but I did see them one time with Gary, Leon, Billy, Artimus and Ed King. Also saw them with 3 original members,Gary,Leon and Billy and although they were missing Allen Collins,Ronnie, Artimus ,Steve ,Cassie and Ed King it was still really something to see. They sounded flawless, literally played the tunes note for note. Ricky Medlock did a hell of a job playing Allen Collins parts. I could only imagine what it was like seeing the original lineup. I saw half the original lineup in the late 90s and I was amazed how good they still were. It's a tragedy what happened to these guys, especially Allen Collins, he never recovered from the crash and then losing his wife and child was the end for him. So 😢 sad.

Excellent performance by an incredible musician, Rest In Peace Billy 🙏

dude this helped me so much, can't believe it has less than 1000 views. Thank you!

Billy Powell. LEGEND!!!

Notice how clean and crisp he played? Wow!

Thanks for this! As a life-long recording studio pianist, this made me smile :) Billy has solid time, is very even and consistent in his parts, plus he doesn't pummel the keys. I like that the piano is providing colorful harmonic overtones that enhance the guitars and help flesh out the overall mix.

Billy puts the key in hon-key tonk. Hes like the tinsel on the Skynyrd Southern Christmas Song tree.

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s secret weapon! As awesome as all the other musicians were in the band, Billy really was the key that differentiated them from all other bands.

It is my understanding that this amazing musician was classically trained! It is the soul and love he possessed for music that took every song to amazing heights and put soul in his classical background!! Rest In Song Billy!

Astounding. Just trying to count this out has my brain in knots.

What a pro. Great time feel, harmonic sense. Never bangs the keys.

Solo @3:52, Awesome, all of it! Thank you for posting, Billy Powell was great.

An old roadie (Arnold Stone) told me about. I could never find it. Here ya are...thank ya kindly.

I miss Billy Powel, great pianist!!!.

this is an insane find

Tout simplement monstrueux, chapeau l ami.r i p

wow wish I found this isolated track when I played in the tribute band...but I got it almost note for note anyway

BP played Mozart ein klien nacht musik at soundcheck 1 day 50 of us stoppedvin our tracks....its a mozart masterpiece and to hear that steinway from 20 away...

He was so talented 💔

Priceless. The view count must roll over after a billion.

Billy Powell piano..3 lead guitarist..Female back up singers.Double kick bass drum .. Ronnie's vision/sound..and southern pride made them a unique band

Ahh, what a master!

Thanks for the audiotrack👌

From 3:52 on, think Scott Joplin (writer of the Entertainer)

This is the track from the "One More from the Road" live album, recorded at the Fox Theatre, Atlanta in July 1976.

this is beatifull...really beatifull

The best to ever do it!

Thanks for sharing wow

For some interesting insight to Billy Powell(in particular, the piano solo in Free Bird), watch the Muscle Shoals documentary. There's a segment on the band and how Billy was a roadie before they discovered what an amazing keyboard player he was.

My uncle..... 🙏 I love you.....always and forever.. these videos make me cry so much.. ❤❤

Cant be sad and listen to this.

Love it.thanks.

what a legend

Any way you could get the free bird live piano track from this concert??

Are all these different Skynyrd tracks taken 'the recordings from 'One More from the Road'? They are superb, and very cool!

Southern Man don't need enten 'round anyhow.

can someone make 3h version of this 😃

can you do sweet home alabama from 1975 whistle test live sound???

Aaahoooo werewolves of London

He was incredible

I want the little jingle at 37 sec as a door bell... just saying

Estou tendo muita dificuldade de tocar essa música, principalmente na hora do improviso

Where did this recording come from? It's amazing. I love isolated tracks from old songs like this

Is this actually him playing? Peter kays has nailed every note thst billy plays

Just curious how did you do this? Will you do it for another recording of Skynyrd?

It's good but. ....is that Mr.Powell. or a craft beer

4:05

How have you isolated the piano ?

Very interesting tone... hints of CP70 in there. Is that an electric piano or just some weird, weird compression?

It’s obvious that his entire piano track was overdubbed in a studio setting As there is absolutely no bleed from anything else you would normally hear on a live stage recording

That was weird

Dont think thats billy himself

2seprate tracks
