Fun Fact: This song is actually like 4 minutes, but the wanted to give his voice a rest at shows so he wouldn't harm his vocal cords performing every night and it gained so much traction from fans loving it, it became a permanent fix in the song

[@codieroper3335]

Not exactly I’m the 70s it was nearly impossible to get a 3 minute track on lp much less six minutes. Rossingtons intro is actually shortened as well as Collins solo dramatically. The song actually pioneered longer track times due to the popularity of the solo. Fast forward till it was famous and being requested nightly, at this point free bird lasted around 12 minutes and included solos by rossimgton Collins and even Powell’s beautiful piano, whenever Ronnie was tired or felt strained him and the band would literally let Cassies younger brother steve take over notice the soulful jazzy vibe skynyrd came into yep steve. Ronnie himself said that he was young but eventually skynyrd the band would be In his shadow. Which is ironic considering his beautiful single one in the sun. Skynyrd is probably my favorite band of all time not only seeing there future with Collins and rossington in good health but steve man what that kid was going to do the world truly wasn’t ready for. But anyway I’m ranting, but look up Ronnie van zant on steve in one interview he states that when he would feel comfortable leaving a gig early with Steve on vocals and lead guitar. Too many legends lost in one bad night..

The smile I had when you were vibing the song before the solo had me tearing up cause I knew your ears were about to experience greatness

[@Bigrosty44]

3 guitars blending as one. Not so easy, and made one of the great rock songs ever.

[@mikehutton3187]

Watch the “live” version from Oakland Colosseum. You get to see all the guys jammin’ their guitars. Amazing video.

[@4dwyn]

Years later and I still replay Kingsman's church scene in my head every time I hear the solo

[@AK00777]

Loved this! I'm always surprised when I come across someone who hasn't heard this, for a split second. Then I remember how fuckin old I am.

Sucks. Don't it?

“I’m sure they’re going to give me peaks and valleys and avenues…” You know with any other song with 5 minutes of runtime left that would be an extremely safe bet. But no, Free Bird goes UP.

[@ScooterCentral952]

I don’t know what is but whenever the build up to the solo hits I start tearing up. Not because I’m sad I’m just so moved by such beautiful art. This song is one of the very few modern musical masterpieces.

[@sveetiew]

I get like this a lot when i listen to my fav song/albums

[@Awesome1467]

it was actually 2 guitar's working in perfect unison an absolute masterpiece you should check out the live version -Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird 1976- they opened for the rolling stones and stole the whole show legendary performance

[@PeytonnotyeP]

3

[@mikecalderon5251]

This was the best performance ever!!! The Oakland show was filmed bad. Knebworth performance was badass!!!

[@loraharvey6740]

It's actually 3 guitars basically battling and plus the bass

[@nicholaswatson999]

This may just be my perspective but the song is called Free Bird they did the lyrics and they allowed the guitarist to go free and wild with his solo like a free bird.

[@Fuetre]

did you even listen to the lyrics bro? you really reaching bro

[@89ludeawakening1]

What's even more impressive is it was two guitarists in the solo keeping up with each other in a dueling guitar style. It was Allen Collins and Gary Rossington playing together. They nailed it together at points to where you can hear harmonics.

[@nicholaswatson999]

@@89ludeawakening1 I was talking more to the meaning of the extra long guitar solo yes It may have been two but it was just guitars. In my point was aiming more towards the meaning not what was actually amount of guitars in that part of the song

[@89ludeawakening1]

@@nicholaswatson999 I completely agree with your meaning. They both just cut loose and were free to just play.

[@spinks1369]

They just didn’t know how to end it lol

[@djlosman17]

Love how no matter what music anyone likes, we can all agree that this song will always be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@charlesjennings93]

On the best guitar solos of all time. Right up there with Van Halen's Eruption.

[@dn5658]

3 great guitarists sharing the sol9 and shredding. Seeing it live was even better. So much fun watching layedbak react to this. I remember when I first heard it. And first saw skinny in 76, senior year in h.s. I felt like payed back must have. The song takes over your body. And never really leaves. RIP skinny, most of the originals gone now, one way (the crash) or several others. They were amazing.

[@nathanturner963]

If you want to experience a guitar sing, I couldn’t recommend Stevie Ray Vaughan enough. Texas flood and Voodoo Child are two of my personal favorites. I’m sorry if it’s been reacted to by you already, I haven’t found it yet. If you have reacted to it already I would love to see the reaction!

[@evanbrong]

Seeing Free Bird being performed live is another level 🔥

[@killuminatic1102]

incredible videos Bro, greetings from Jalisco Mexico, Respect

[@sup992211]

I have been waiting for LB to do this song for such a long time! I’m so glad he finally did it!

[@Fu3R4]

Lots of people are baffled that songs we consider staples and gospels aren't heard by many. But it's amazing to see the energy and enjoyment from some one new again. Just look at him go and the song making him literally sweat. It's awesome to bring forth things that have imprinted themselves on our souls and watch them profoundly shake the core of our fellow man.

[@jakedavis1142]

9:44 the look when you think the solo is finally over, but it’s still got a little bit left 😂

[@angrytexan3725]

Legend has it, hes still playing

[@PepperDavis]

LETS GOOOOO this is actually really cool!

[@knowaries]

I'm glad you found this and liked it ( how could you not ) I'm 64 and grew up with this band sand yes this freebird is one BADASS SONG!

[@benbernal7534]

Man you have the same reactions I did when I first heard this 13 years ago props to whoever recommended this always a classic

[@maxbutch1991]

NOT VALLEYS, CURVES AND AVENUES .STRAIGHT HIGHWAY WITH NO SPEED LIMITS.

[@clayrush71]

The guitarist in question is Allen Collins who came up with this song while he was in high school & the lyrics came from his girlfriend. The picture that you're using, Allen would be on the far left. I'm not sure if it's still available on KZbin but if you can find it you might want to check out Freebird at Knebworth when they opened for the Rolling Stones.

[@mr.excitement2829]

Get him on that audioslave/Chris Cornell journey

[@stevesauck7001]

I’ve been watching your channel for awhile, Skynyrd’s my all time FAVORITE, your reaction was brilliant. Welcome to Lynyrd Fuckin Skynyrd 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tannerdavis2678]

“Aight everyone that was trash or pass…. PASS…. Ughhh” everyone felt that

[@rsILife]

Green Grass and High Tides- The Outlaws has the same vibe and is pretty amazing.

[@kamrynspedding2253]

Pretty happy to see this! Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my favorite bands, Got to see them in concert last year and seeing them in August. With Johnnie though instead of Ronnie.

[@drpuma_2901]

One of the great classics of rock.

[@YuShudNoe]

I remember playing this song on guitar hero back then and getting through most the song thinking it was easy and boring then BOOM SHIT GOT CRAZY!!!! 😂🔥💯
