Awesome! Though it's sad to think they were just 3 months away from the plane crash. With all of the crowd shots, this video is also an excellent glimpse back into the youth culture of the mid 1970s. Thanks for the upload, Ace 😊

[@alesiabradley5399]

Glad to see younger people discovering the music from my generation.

[@RLG-]

When you see people in their 60s and 70s, know that this was the music they grew up with.

[@cavecookie1]

So glad I was a part of that generation. Nothing like a hot summer day, a crowd of music-loving young folks, and loud Rock N Roll all day long! What memories!

[@athenasbody1544]

The music was good, the company was good and people knew how to chill and have a good time.

[@scottfreitag2114]

I have heard it said you hear Freebird when you listen to the album version, but you FEEL Freebird when you listen to the live version. I agree.

[@bengaltiger9891]

72 years old and this takes me back to my youth, like it was yesterday!!!

[@billc.5861]

The band that day was Gary Rossington. Lead Slide guitar - Drk hair Allen Collins. Lead guitar - Blond hair Steve Gaines lead guitar. -shorter hair Leon Wilkeson. Bass Artimus Pyle. Drums Billy Powell Keyboards Ronnie Van Zand. Vocals The concert series held at the Oakland Coliseum during the 70s was called “Day on the Green “. I personally went to over a 1/2 dozen of those all day in the hot sun without much shade shows as a teenager., but not this particular one.

[@samgamgee42]

67 yr old rock and roller here, enjoyed your reaction! Look forward to future reactions to the music us boomers were blessed to grow up with...

[@karensheline6958]

That first line is so haunting….”If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me”? Yessir, yes, you will be remembered. Here we are almost 50 years later and still diggin’ on your music. 💜✌️🎶🌏

[@Bamaboompa]

7:19 “You can’t get any higher than this.” 🤪 I ❤ Free Bird reactions‼️🤣 Now you gotta experience compare/contrast the Knebworth concert. “Stay off The Tongue.” 👅

[@vangreen9098]

Yes sir Ronnie we still remember you…

[@88pjtink]

"What is this"? This was the 1970's, in a nutshell video. I was there and this was it. The tans, the pot, the sun, the bikinis, the bands that really rocked, the FUN FUN FUN!!!

[@scottchapin2323]

IMO, LYNYRD SKYNYRD is the best American Rock Band. Three great guitarist. Check out "T for Texas" from this same movie.

[@carilin1965]

This song will make you wanna jump😂💕💕💕

[@debbers]

You also get to see the personalities of each member of the band! I'm glad you chose this as your first live performance, now you need to do some of The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again" at Shepperton or "Baba O'Riley" also at Shepperton! Peter Frampton on the Midnight Special "Do You Feel Like We Do"! Charlie Daniels Band "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" live! These are just a few to get you started, I'm sure other people will have other suggestions! Isn't it great watching the crowd being involved!

[@Jovolution]

And the audience, no tattoos no piercings no punks.

[@roryt3366]

This is my favorite song. I am 79.

[@barbarafruitbat1245]

Another fantastic reaction!! Brilliant! This performance always gets me head-banging with a massive smile on my face 😄👍👍

[@jasonturner6411]

3 months after this performance, most of the members of the band was killed. The band was never the same. All of the original members are in heaven now.

[@kevinsmith4429]

Actually, I believe only 3 died, Ronny Van Zandt, backup singer Cassie Hanes & one of the guitarists.They would have all died if the pilots had done their jobs.They didn't fuel the plane.Thpugjt they had plenty of gas to get to next stop. Ran out of fuel 4 mi short of the runway. Only thing that saved the rest: no fuel, no fire.

[@jeffmattson5766]

The drummer from this performance, Artimus Pyle, is still alive. And one of the Back up singers AKA Honkettes, Leslie Hawkins, is alive also.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Ace, that was a really fun reaction, and that was the music of my youth. But anyway what a great way to inaugurate your second channel. I subscribed. I'm in.

[@ItsAceTheHeartAgain]

Thank you so much Steve 😁😁😁

[@carolynlyfordsullivan1377]

Great music. I hope it brings people together. " Free Bird " absolutely takes you for a ride .

[@jeffhamby8333]

Great reaction. You wanna see another wild guitar performance? REO Speedwagon. Golden Country -live from "you get what you play for " album. Video is amazing

[@andrewmoss3681]

A great reaction to a LEGENDARY performance. Skynyrd studio work is truly Amazing. Skynyrd live goes to Divinity!!! "That guitar playing is to the roof!" The second tyou said that I started laughing, Hard! Nah, as you saw, that was the light & entrancing work. The roof is about to be demolished. If you'd like another Skynyrd live, check out their performance of, You got that right, 7/13/1977 - convention hall (official). Yet more divinity. I hope everyone is having a great week & much love to everyone from here in the UK Hope everyone is having a

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Great reaction ! Remember the people at the concert was and is probably one of the only times you got to see and hear your idol rock stars, as they were only on the radio , never on TV , no internet or you tube,back then

[@notablindliberal896]

Gary Rossington played the slide guitar at the beginning, and Allen Collins shredding the last 5 minutes of the song. Allen wrote that solo part of the song at 18. Of course, Steve Gaines on guitar, Leon Wilkeson on bass, Billy Powell on the piano, and Ronnie Van Zant on lead vocals. RIP To all these Skynyrd boys. Thanks for the reaction. Rush live, it's called Best Intro Ever/The Spirit of Radio and it is Phenomenal.

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

And Artemis Pyle on drums!

[@notablindliberal896]

@@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce correct

[@rodger1121]

You said you never heard anything like that in your life. And you never will hear anything like that again.That kind of talent is once in a lifetime.

[@kurttuchscherer7706]

I keep hearing the question about what the difference is between music of 70s and 80s compared to today. It's the connection between the bands and the fans. With Taylor Swift or Pearl Jam being exceptions, how many bands today can pull 100,000+ people together?

[@georgekininmonth2070]

I was there in Oakland, and it was as epic as it appears! The memories remain as we had no cameras, cell phones, obviously, sunscreen. Fun, sun, and music! Very carefree time.

[@TheTechie1]

How does it feel to know that is how your Grand ma and Grand Pa used to party! LOL, I was part of this music culture and love it. All of those people are now in their late 60's. 🙂

[@debbers]

Congratulations on this new channel I am new subscriber 71, funny that's almost the same number I was on your first channel, I think I was 76th or something there! Best of luck to you once again Ace!

[@markwarren7157]

I was your age when this song came out. I am thrilled to see a younger generation enjoying such good music. Keep up your journey.

[@BridgetBailey47]

This was a Great choice and reaction too by the way 😍

[@davidvsr]

[@shark5919]

The guitarist with the goatee on the left, his sister and the main singer died in that plane crash.

[@Ozarkprepper643]

Thanks for a trip down memory lane. We traveled there from Arizona. Only other time we left the state for a concert was Jethro Tull when they performed in Tampa Florida. Not far from Lynyrd Skynyrd's home town. 🤠🌄🐂

[@3generboiler]

Believe it or not the drummer is called Artemis Pyle. That was his given name.

Ace two minutes in: Listen to the crowd! Me: Just wait.

[@randyjohnson6960]

Notice only seen 1 camera 📷 & that was all. No cell phones but everyone probably had a Bic lighter on em👊💯🎵🎶❤️

[@larrybrown4455]

Welcome to the 70's....

[@bl6773]

Great reaction as always I just joined you on this channel also.

[@gnesvik]

Request: Dire Straits Sultans of Swing (Alchemy Live version)...

[@marcieharreld286]

He already reacted to it on his other channel. 😉

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Interesting.

[@suecook1326]

Billy Powell didn't join the group until well after the studio version had been released. It became an entirely new song with his addition. I still prefer their Knebworth 1976 performance tho, when Ronnie upset Mick Jagger!

[@drenkin]

I believe Billy joined in 1972; he plays on the original album track, though they surely let him run with it more, live. Ed King posted somewhere that Billy played all the way through every track; the places the keyboards drop out in the recordings...they faded them out in the mix. :-)

[@jeffallen6754]

My god was there more than ten dudes at that show lol.

[@rickthoma6428]

Ronnie wrote the words.Allen Collins wrote the music.The whole band,all pros.

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

True, for the most part, but in this case it was Kathy Johns who asked Allen "If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me" during an argument when they were dating in high school. They were married in 1970 and had 2 daughters. Kathy died in 1980 while pregnant with their third child.

[@lisawest7002]

❤❤❤

[@mikegrant2217]

try Freebird 1976, the solo at the end

[@vtech6125]

Strongly recommend an even longer guitar solo with unbelievable riffs that you don't hear in the Oakland Coliseum performance: LS's live show at the Knebworth music festival in England in 1976. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omWzq6h9asqrr68

[@JS-TexanJeff]

Thanks for this! But what is the reason for having a 2nd channel (I see many creators doing this)? Is there some kind of monetary gain? I don't get it.

[@samgamgee42]

...and a ticket for this show was about $8.50....lol
