I graduated high school in 1974. It is so fulfilling to see so many young people finding this music for the first time. The Sixties and Seventies Bands were true musicians, they fed off each other during their live performances! Thousands came together to live the experience. The bands reacted to the vibe like no other time! Thank you for your reaction to “Old Fashioned Rock” as it was during “the day”...

If you watch the live version from Oakland 1977 you will see how the bird chirps are done. I got to see them just before the crash. My heart hurts so bad seeing these videos but they take me back to much better days. They were Southern Rock Gods. There will never be another like them.

[@wilshade]

That song is pretty good audio equivalent of feeling drunk and high at the same time. This was the song of nearly every rural high school party of the late 70s and beyond. Now, it's a musical time machine. Even now, when I listen to it, I have to a beer in hand and several already empty beer cans nearby. Positive or negative, your reactions are honest and delightful.

[@cajunsamgaming4061]

After almost half a century, this, in my opinion, is one of the best songs ever. Performed by my all-time favorite band. Thank you thank you thank you for reacting to them. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one deep rabbit hole to go down, so much amazing music. Tuesday’s Gone, Ballad of Curtis Lowe and Simple Man are some excellent ones that I can listen to again and again. BTW, the bird is one of the guitarist 😉 Stay safe and keep them coming 👍 I completely understand this isn’t some people’s cup of tea, but I’m not going to hate on ya for that. You gave your honest opinion and I have huge respect for that. If everyone liked the exact same thing, what a boring world it would be. You’re even more awesome in my eyes because you didn’t fake a reaction. Keep it up.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the most beloved southern rock bands of the 1970's if not the most. Even after their deadly plane crash on Oct 20th,1977 until now their music is loved and cherished by multiple generations.

[@staycehill2649]

Totally southern rock. Growing up in the south, Lynyrd Skynrd was a staple. Classic song in the US. The studio version is more calm, but I love the live too. Love your reactions! Hope someone fills you in on their history and the heart breaking plane crash. RIP LS

[@87Wayne]

I believe that was Allen Collins playing the solo, "one" of the greatest rock guitar riffs of all time. Tremendous skill to play that.

[@donrowland7369]

The noise is slide guitar played way up past the neck

[@757optim]

'The' Southern Rock anthem performed by Southern Rock royalty. Note: Long jams at live concerts were a common Southern Rock thing, but this one was written long. (It's pronounced "Linnerd Skinnered".)

[@garylindsey5174]

One more time, "This song is like pushing a cart up a long steep hill, and then jumping in and flying down the other side! " I had to say it

[@gunsknives5395]

In 1979 I was living in Nashville. Charlie Daniels had his Volunteer Jams at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium and a group of us to include some of my buddies from Jacksonville, Fla were listening that night to the live broadcast. There was no script to the Jam just whoever showed up played. Well we got knocked on our rear ends when the survivors of Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage unannounced. When they started Free Bird with no singing we all ran out of the house to our vehicles and turned the radios wide open. Then we sat there in silence while they played. No words can describe the feeling we had that night of hearing Free Bird for the first time without Ronnie Van Zant singing.

[@pnwcruiser]

[@kathyrais574]

@@jonathankenton7182 sad part is Keith Richards considere to be one of the greatest of all time on a great list where you will never see Allen, Gary or Steve mentioned. I can kinda see Steve, he didn't have enough time to show what he could do. I think he would have been in a category with SRV. I wish I knew what these guys did to piss off the idiots who nake up these lists. This is arguably greatist guitar solo of all time, masterfully woven in, Gary & Steve(Ed as well) do how can you have that honor and not be one of the best of all time. Makes no sense & some jokers made list that shouldn't be there at all. George Harrison whilr,ca great guitar player, shopped out while my guitar gently weeps to Clapton. Not dissin Harrison but really?

[@darrinleazer6784]

Sweetie, you just witnessed the greatest Southern rock band's to ever come from the South. Its also' the greatest Southern rock anthems of all generation. And sweetie, the sound you heard, that sounded like a bird chirping was Gary Rossingtons slide on the strings of his guitar. Yes' he truly makes that sound on his guitar, and it's about being free, like a bird, flying. You have also witnessed what real music is, that comes from the soul. Not this shit they have out now, and of course' you do have your opinion about it, but' here where I live in North Carolina, which is parts of the South, we take our Southern hospitality and heritage serious. Btw' I absolutely love your accent, and you should try listening to the (Allmans Brother) southbound and soulshine. Sweetie, I promise you that you will be amazed by them. They also are from the South as well. Stay safe!!!

Those "bird sounds" are Gary Rossington running his slide way up past the frets onto the pickups. I saw this band a bunch along the way, and nobody could whip a crowd into a frenzy quite like the original lineup of this band. "Ballad of Curtis Lowe" "Gimme Three Steps" "Simple Man" "Call Me The Breeze" "Tuesday's Gone" "Thing's Going On" "Gimme Back My Bullets" are all strong. Always 3 guitars, and always BLAZING! RIP Ronnie, Steve, Allen, Billy, Cassie, Bob....

[@caseynicholson9190]

Wow! You did a Lynyrd Skynyrd song! This is what is known as "Southern Rock" from the Southland of USA. This song is actually a Rock Anthem in the South and throughout USA. Several members of this band were killed when their plane crashed into a Mississippi swamp. Lead singer Ronnie VanZant, Steve Gains (Guitar Player) his sister Cassie Gaines and pilots killed. Everyone else severely injured. In this video they were opening for the Rolling Stones. Notice the long black stage which is the tongue on the stones logo. Rule was they were not allowed to go out on the black part of the stage. They did it anyway and it really made Mick Jagger angry. Ronnie VanZant didnt care. It is said that Skynyrd stole the show and the Stones were not happy about that at all. This is the concert that put Skynyrd on the map. This is probably not the best song for you to react to. I can understand this not being your thing. Ronnie VanZant is like a God here in the South. He was a musical genius, wrote all of the songs and NEVER wrote the lyrics of the songs down. He said if a song was worth writing you didnt need to write the words down. As a young boy he would tell his father that he would die before he was 30...he died when he was 29. They have a lot of other songs you would probably like but if not thats cool too. Good Job Gitana!

You have to remember when that music came out and who else they were competing against. I was a young teenager when they started and being from the southern U.S. it was a time of finding a band that you could relate to.

[@Whatthechuckttv]

CLASSIC SOUTHERN ROCK.. It isn't for everyone. For me though, it's what i grew up on being from the southern US. The talent in this band at the time this concert took place is nothing less than phenomenal. The solo that went on forever was and still is a masterpiece that will never be duplicated. This band still tours today in some form some 56 years after forming and 43 years after the fateful plane crash in south Mississippi that claimed the lives of 6 people: pilot Walter McCreary, co-pilot William Gray, assistant road crew member Dean Kilpatrick, lead singer/founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and backing singer Cassie Gaines (brother/sister). This song is a classic but again, it isn't for everyone. But I would ask that you not write off Skynyrd after 1 tune. It's an acquired taste for some so dive deeper into their catalog of music. The more you do, the more you'll come to enjoy it. Well done.

To this day go to any music venue in the states - especially where alcohol is available lol and near the end of the night someone will be requesting this song. Every rock, country or blues band has gotten that request. Also yes, the bird sound is from the guy playing the slide guitar. Dive deeper into southern rock. You won't be disappointed. Stay well and stay beautiful.

[@kristopherwuenstel5428]

I grew up with this stuff in the 70's...Skynyrd was one of my favorites (nothing against the post-crash lineup but I always preferred this band with Ronnie as the lyricist & lead singer, along with Steve & Cassie Gaines. Their music was very influential, and Classic Rock stations in the U.S. still play it regularly. They were still ascending as a band when the crash occurred, within just a short time after releasing their album Street Survivor. It's perfectly fine that it wasn't your thing...I agree that the live version of this can go on & on, that's just what bands did back then because that's what fans were demanding of live shows. Give some of their other music a go...they have a respectable catalog of good music!

Saw them LIVE, dozens of times before this was filmed in 1976. Maybe your "Hippies" were different from our Hippies. But here in the South, they were HOT & everyone loved them!

@@7thkansascav468 i think people of all sides of life listened to Skynyrd.

I went to the Willie Nelson picnic in Tulsa Oklahoma when I was 13 and I am 60 now and there was 6 bands that played that day all day it was the best concert I ever went to.

"What is that weird sound, like a bird?!" I laughed at that. The song is FREEBIRD, lady! And it's Gary Rossington "chirping" the guitar with his slide. BTW, I so love the combo of Rossington, Collins, and Gaines. They were so complimentary. Gary was strongest at slow/mid-tempo "feeling" solos and a very underrated slide guitarist. Not flashy but clean and great tone and feeling. Collins was all flash and fire - how he played a solo like this so fast and for so long - his forearms must have been on fire! If you watch teaching channels, the riffs and runs on the solo are actually extremely difficult and technical, especially at speed. Finally, Steve Gaines was just coming into his own as a guitarist at the time of the plane crash was was really good as well - note how well he matches Allen at the end of the solo. When you think that they also had Ed King at the beginning of the band's time together, it's really crazy that so much guitar prowess was concentrated in one band. And Leon Wilkerson was no slouch on base either.

Remember hearing this for the first time in the summer of 76 . Became my sound track of an amazing Summer

“Playing for Duane Allman”. Guitarist Duane Allman was the master guitarist for the Allman Bros. Band with brother Gregg Allman. Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident. Must check out “Whipping Post”...for some more great Southern Rock!

[@abekantarovich6612]

There will never be another Duane Allman!

[@seankellyhimself5877]

Fun fact: Skynyrd were told not to go out onto the "tongue" part of the stage as it was for the stones only, they did during the solo. That sound was a guitar using a slide on the strings close to the bridge.

Hey, just found your channel, from what I've seen you got a good genuine thing going on here and I dig it. For context I'm from North Carolina, and was raised on Skynyrd. They were my first concert when they played at the end of the Kyle Petty (Nascar driver) charity ride. Also for context im 30, I feel that is important as rock spans such a vast time span. With that said, this version was more for people like me that grew up on the songs. A not live version would give more focus on the lyrics and the meaning behind them, but this was pure, pre plane crash, Ronnie Van Zant (lead singer) Lynyrd Skynyrd. They named the band after their gym teacher...it causes some amount of confusion. But with this particular performance being so unique, I do not fault your criticism one bit. I would suggest, and I'm literally finding you today so apologies if it has been done, Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Specifically them, not the Shinedown cover. Anyways if you see this have a nice day.

I have requested this song to be played at my funeral. Tgevsong starts talking about leaving andcwoyld you still remember me. Then it rocks out to remind folks of the good times.

One of THEE GREATEST Guitar solos of ALL TIME. HIGHLY sought after. Amazing. Allen Collins and Gary Rossington are insane.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

don't count out Leon Wilkeson on bass. He was thumping just as hard

Saturday night special, on the hunt, needle and the spoon All by Skynyrd

One of the most iconic songs ever written. I've seen them 4 or 5 times unfortunately not with the original members.

Mick: "Whatever you do, don't go out onto the tongue." Ronnie: "Bite Me!"

I. Just love. Freebird. It. One of. The. Best. Song. I. Grow. Up. List to. I. Was. 11. Year. Old. When. This. Song. Came. Out.

[@EarleMason]

I’m glad you chose to upload this!!! You have an elegant, and still cheery, way of expressing that you don’t like a song😊. Everyone has different tastes, it’s possible to not like something and still have respect. I’m for seeing you post more, unless it’s really bad 🤔

[@TheAcworthdude]

You should just react to their entire Knebworth performance .The were at their best

[@sharonhoyt2133]

The first guitarist, Gary Rossington, is playing slide guitar and he is playing the "bird tweeting" part on his guitar. He turns his normal guitar into a slide guitar by having a small glass bottle on his middle finger and sliding it up and down the strings.

[@primemover1416]

OK. Yes. You didn't care for it. I'm guessing the studio recorded version may be a little more liked, at least up until the looong outro. Plus, like you said, this is an old video without the benefit of current sound quality. Que Sara Sara as they say. Keep on truckin'.

[@stevebandit1964]

When Mick Jagger was left open mouthed at the step up to the guitar extravaganza !! 😲

[@shirleybuffington6420]

I like your reaction and you being honest about this song but here is a song from them that is not so bad it is called Simple man

[@TimberMntWolf]

I know I'm late to this reaction, today is January 31, 2022 - I just had to say this video was awesome!!! I love Skynyrd, always have, and always will. I still get upset and miss the band members that died in the plane crash over 40 years ago. I remember 1976 like it was yesterday, I was on my way to Phoenix Arizona to see a concert, Santana and Eric Clapton, I've loved rock n roll all my life and I will never understand why some people have to leave this planet sooner than they should have, Gitiana... I love your channel, thanks for this video,

[@Veronica.1371]

That live version isn't great...try another version

[@dakotaconners107]

not true. this live version was dam good enough to clean the headlining Rolling Stones clock and made this band world known

[@Roy-jh3xs]

Wrong. Her brain is just too limited to handle all those notes. She prefers simpler music. This performance was legendary.

sleeping through Free Bird at a concert is one of those things you'd probably regret for the rest of your life
