Lynyrd Skynyrd - They Call Me The Breeze live

[@juanruiz4717]

Bill Powell, what a BEAST!!. Rip to one of the greats.

[@adriennecaldwelldogtraining]

The best!

[@kalorakalora]

When the most replayed part of a rock song features the piano solo, you know it's dirty good

[@kingbee48185]

Perhaps the best, southern pianist ever not being classically trained. Yes, he ranks as one of my top 10 favorites . He can get down and dirty as well as play beautiful, Total respect for this great pianist. RIP Billy Powell

[@inexpro167]

He was classically trained

[@bruceadams5436]

Correct,@@inexpro167. As a rodie, he thought the rest of the band would not want him on keys because he was classically trained.

[@acreguy3156]

@@bruceadams5436 Didn't know that. Thanks for the info, guys. He was great!!!

[@NC_Travels_45]

Billy Powell in fact was classically trained! Quote from Billy Powell "Ronnie VanZant came up to me and said, 'You mean to tell me, you've been playing the piano like that and you've been workin' for us for a year....' And I said, 'Well, you know, I've been classically trained most of my life.

[@jezkey427]

i met billy one time :]

[@jamesgentry4556]

Still amazed at how much of that solo is done with one hand.

[@anthonyodonnell6105]

This is so awesome. Bill Powell forever in our hearts.

[@richardbicknell2140]

What a fantastic pianist

[@timothysfitzgerald2589]

Being an ex trucker, who also had the handle "mr breeze", I wonder how many miles I have under me listening to this one ?! RIP Billy, thanks for the company !

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I think if you're going to be in a "vee-hickle" for any serious amount of time, Skynyrd HAS TO come along. I've done a ton of miles on motorcycle with this band. 1st band I ever met in about...1990? My record on a bike is 7,500 miles in 12 days, 15F on the low temp side :) Thank you for bringing all our stuff in your trucks :) You keep America going and you don't get enough respect of appreciation. :)

glad I got to see billy powell play live a few times no one plays the keys as good as he did no one.

+chris randell I doubt that very much no one is better than billy.Even the guy they have now that they got after billy passed away cant even play billy parts right.shows how good billy was.

[@tinadurham2590]

I saw them once at Freedom Hall in Johson City, TN in I want to say 96 or so they were with Bad company Dam what a concert I slept all the way back home because I had to be in class ( College) at 8 a.m in Bigstone Gap VA anybody know where that is

[@michaelt3308]

Ditto

[@jamesgentry4556]

Maybe John Paul Jones. Maybe , I can't really decide.

[@ZargonIV]

Billy was just flat out awesome... God alone knows where there gonna find someone who can even play the piano HALF good enough to replace him.

[@CrestedSaguaro520]

13 years later in 2022... They did have someone else take Billy's place. His name is Peter Pisarczyk, A. K. A. Peter Keys. He's good but not as good as Billy the Original. Mr. Powell was an out of this world freakin' great piano player. He could do it all. He's gone but definitely not forgotten! 🎶🕊🎵

[@omarverdeoliveros9590]

Guao. Amazing. Is The MAN.

Good grief Billy Powell was the man.

[@brianwallgren1833]

[@sterligfoley274]

He was simply the best keyborad player ever.

[@niklasholgerson3779]

Kinda amazing how Billy managed to go completely berserk and still fit the song

[@iplaymytele]

Being a working musician myself, folks ask me what is your favorite guitar solo or keyboard solo…..? From the first time I heard the piano solo on the breeze, every time the solo does the “ slide into the upper register of the piano “ It has never failed to put a smile on my face fantastic ..😁 A video, a fantastic performance….!!!! 🎶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎶❤️ Professor Jeff Galey🎶🎓🎼 ( The Jeff Galey Channel )

[@andrewyoung6857]

That piano solo.....

[@77HarleyRider]

This song, a Harley and an open road...WOW!!!

[@willardarmbruster8111]

I liked the way the pre-crash band interacted with the audience a lot less. These guys seem to be compensating for something.

[@CrestedSaguaro520]

2:41 Iconic piano solo! RIP Billy Powell, you are not forgotten.

[@gianlucapea1527]

A wonderful song by JJ Cale, masterfully rearranged by a legendary band with a magnificent keyboard player!

[@georgeandres1053]

I saw this comment on another video of this song, I don’t know what that piano did but Billy sure whipped it’s ass !

[@paulataylorpsychic4150]

LOL he sure did!!

Billy Powell was the best! His playing gave you chills everytime.

YES INDEED 💯 👍

Rest In Peace Billy ❤️

[@bornslippy7834]

Billy Powell brought me here and I know he originally played that solo with one hand. I smile every time I hear it.

[@philipfranklin3958]

What synth was on top of Billy's piano in this video and which skynrd songs can it usually be heard?

[@jamesgentry4556]

Am I the only one shocked by how much of that solo is played with one hand?

[@garyhileman4985]

I think Ronnie would be proud of his little brother. He did the songs proud!!!!

[@wizardraptor1]

Oh yeah, Peter's great! I got to see them live a couple of years back, and it was by far the best concert I've ever been to (I knew it would be, but that's aside the point. lol)

[@InkSpilledSky]

So, the original is in A major. Does anyone else find it interesting that this performance is in Ab? Also, I have a ton of respect for Billy and his solos are just perfect and should be learned by every rock pianist, but I think he is playing his solo in A because there is a lot of A being hit on the keys along with E natural. So, I wonder if for performance sake (audio mixing etc at such large venues) he is either playing a transposed keyboard in a piano body or playing along with a solo that he recorded in the studio.

[@RandomPerson56789]

I know this solo pretty well (took quite some time to get it down lol), and he's definitely still playing in A, just like on the recording/live with the original band. I have the DVD of this whole concert, and every song is down half a step. (due to Johnny's voice, I suppose). I know that they would always have a piano tuner come out to each concert to tune (since all that moving around definitely affects the tuning) so I figure they just tuned all the keys down half a step. I know for a fact it isn't a keyboard in a piano body, though that is how their current keys player does it!

[@pianoman1015]

randomp, it's a killer solo but hard to learn...but i'm getting there

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

@@RandomPerson56789 Yeah, hes definitely singing lower than he used to. I can sing. My "pee-anna" playing sucks eggs, tho, lol

[@ewoknroll2136]

Interesting. I had no idea they tuned the piano down. I assumed the video playback was slow, changing the pitch.

[@acreguy3156]

I just hate the way videographers focus on the vocalist and guitarists during what is considered a legendary piano solo 👿. Further, the vocalist can't keep his fat trap shut so we can listen to the pianist. As a pro player, I've come to realize us piano players are bottom feeders in any band. Regardless of the talent, the video always turns to the so-called "stars and their guitars." In my next life, I'll learn how to play a Fender turned up to 11, like most of those guys do 🤣!

[@RodCalidge]

FFS at least get the song right. It's Call me the breeze, it was writren by JJ Cale and you do Musicians like JJ and Billie a big disservice by not bothering to get that right.

[@theonemodifier]

I didn't know Gary ever cut his hair

[@SlightReturn666]

Billy Powell was incredible but I never ever understood the love for this band. It's just low-discount gutbucket Southern Rock (not as redneckish as Molly Hatchet, but close). Memorable tunes but nothing we hadn't heard a million times before. Give me some beauty and grace and subtlety ... e.g. Allman Brothers.

[@raybobkowalski2154]

It's not the same without Ronnie & the rest of the bunch,just a cheap cover band RIP sknyard

[@CrestedSaguaro520]

That's fair, and I know this comment is a year old... But did you appreciate Gary Rossington playing and Billy Powell's piano solo? Those two were original members, and God rest Mr. Powell's soul. ✝️🙏🏻
