Brothers REACT to Lynyrd Skynyrd: Freebird (1975 Old Grey Whistle Test) tribute to Allman Brothers

[@sitnhere]

Always enjoy watching them LIVE, but that Oakland show in 77 was the ultimate of ALL Freebird performances EVER!!

[@thechainreaper6342]

nah it was knewborth they removed lots of riffs in 1777

Can’t go wrong. Go anywhere with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Old grey whistle test is a goldmine for a ton of bands, especially from the 60s and 70s....Ed King had already left... Stevie Gaines hadn't joined just yet.... I saw them at Oaklands " Day on the Green " Skynard opened before Peter Frampton...he headlined the show....needless to say Frampton was really good! ........but Lynyrd Skynyrd completely stole the show!

Freebird sounds so much better with the third guitar playing off of Alan Collins lead part.

LOVE the FLAG

Ronnie Van Zant had some type of head cold of flu here , that's why his voice is a bit weak .He was still great . Also ,they had recently lost 3rd guitarist ED King . So they were a man short here also .

[@joeyboogenz]

Also , they full show here at OGWT has much better sounding songs thann this one. You should check out the full performance. It was really great and of course someone upgraded it to 1080P HD ! You can clearly see Ronnie was barefoot ,as he was at most all their shows .

We'll keep that in mind next time we hit Skynyrd! Thanks!

@@glennandadriansrocktalk If you haven't deep dove into the band (The original one ) I highly reccomend reacting to : Needle and the spoon , I ain't the one , Need all my friends , Am I losin' , Whiskey rock-a-roller , Workin'for MCA , Searchin' , Wino , Poison whiskey ,Swamp music , Don't ask me no questions , Trust . They are all first rate songs . All better than Freebird IMO .

Freebird live at the Day on the Green in Oakland is probably the best version of this song. They have their classic 3 guitar lineup again in Oakland and it is epic. Ronnie had a nasal problem in the Old Grey Whistle version, and only 2 guitars in the band, the Isle of Wight version is better also. No one reacts to some of their lessor known songs. so pick one of those out. Songs like Every Mother's Son, All I Can Do is Write it, Was I Right or Wrong, Am I Losin or Comin Home to name a few. Van Zant tells some great stories in these. And you're right the album that has some of the early stuff is very under rated.
