You can watch the version of this from thst very concert on here on You Tube

[@richdiddens4059]

It's anything but a guitar solo. It's a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and THREE guitars. Sometimes it's a lead guitar and 2 rhythm guitars sometimes 2 leads and a single rhythm, and sometimes it's 3 lead guitars playing, sometimes in synch and sometimes in counter point. At least six musicians at the same time. It's an instrumental.

[@thechunkyson]

You saved me the trouble of typing this.lol

[@frankmarsh1159]

It's Allen Collins on lead, Gary Rossington on rhythm and slide and Ed King on bass.

Funny you say that but don’t drill me I never really listen to John B in Zepp. Always locked on Page personally. Then like it’s crazy Zepp was just four master musicians! Point is your right lol

[@jaynagerber7474]

If you watch the concert video, when the solo starts, it's one playing the solo, one appears to be rythm and one appears counterpoint. Partway through, it's two separate solos going, and throughout the rest of the time sometimes they sync and sometimes they diverge (all while the third guitar is mostly playing rhythm, but does some other stuff from time-to-time). It's truly one of the sickest things I've seen, and to be honest, I never really knew much about 'Skynyrd before I saw that a couple of months ago (outside of the fact they were southern rock from the 70s), but that clip and the amazing way they played got me totally interested!

Although not written for him, Lynyrd Skynyrd dedicated this song to the memory of Duane Allman after he died in a motorcycle accident. In October of 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd were involved in a fiery plane crash where 6 of 20 people died, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. The record company immediately recalled their latest album, Street Survivors, which pictured the band on the cover, surrounded by flames. They rereleased the album without the flames. You really need to see them perform this live. Three lead guitars, a bass, piano, and drums, all in perfect harmony. It is spectacular. In my opinion, the best rock performance of all time.

[@donawalker216]

Definitely showed how great they were.

[@DAL12343]

Steve Gaines was a stellar guitarist. He was just getting started when he died so young along with his sister, backup singer. Cassie Gaines and the world will forever miss Ronnie Van Zant's voice. He was a brilliant singer. After seeing the crash site and plane, it's a miracle anyone survived. I'm glad his brother, Johnny Van Zant, headed the band up, and they continued. I love the saying, "I might be old, but I've seen all the great bands" 👍

My mother actually went to school at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, FL and she knew the real Leonard Skinner. Now called Lee High School. A lot of music came out of this school in a round about way. Mae Boren Axton was a school teacher at this school when my mom attended and she wrote "Heartbreak Hotel" which became a major hit for Elvis Presley. Mae Boren Axton's son Hoyt Axton wrote "Never Been to Spain" and "Joy to the World" for Three Dog Night and was a major hit back in the 60s. That would be a song to react to as well. My uncle use to hunt with Hoyt when they were teenagers. Thanks for indulging me. Enjoyed your reactions and reviewed. This song crosses a lot of cultural and musical genre barriers for sure. Peace and love. God bless you both.

FUN FACT: Back in 1974 when the band was putting together the final version of the album "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd" they did not want to put this song on the record because it was too long and thought most people would not like it. Their manager decided that they should keep it in and it became one of the most well know rock songs of all time. Thank god for that man

LOL you mean Duane Allman. One of greatest guitarists ever.

[@WhizzingFish12]

No, their producer (Tom Dowd) DIDNT want to include it because he thought it was too long and would never get airplay. Ronnie Van Zant basically kicked him out of the studio (Muscle Shoals Sound Studio) and said "we're recording it ourselves" and didn't let him back in until they were done. Dowd said "Ronnie was VERY convincing..." He basically threatened to kick his ass if he tried to stop them. Glad he listened. :-)

This is eerie, because this popped up on my feed today, Monday, March 6th, 2023. Yesterday, March 5th, 2023, the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, guitarist Gary Rossington, passed away at the age of 71. He is the guitarist who played the hauntingly beautiful opening solo using a slide. If you really want to see just how awesome they were live, you can see the original Lynyrd Skynyrd line up (before the crash) playing Free Bird in the Oakland Coliseum in 1977. There’s another great live video of them playing live in 2003 in Tennessee, with Ronnie Van Zandt’s brother, Johnny on lead vocals, and Ricky Metlock of Black Oak Arkansas on lead guitar. Gary Rossington plays slide guitar as always. Both are awesome performances. RIP Gary Rossington. You’re truly “Free As A Bird Now” with your Skynyrd family in Heaven. Beautiful reaction!

Way, way back as a young Marine deployed to Okinawa, this song would get played every time we walked into this one tiny little bar in Henoko.

[@maingun07]

@@dongrogg5765 I was there a bit later in '88. Right outside of Stalag Schwab was the little town of Henoko. My memory might be a little off so bare with me. When you walked into town, there was a fried rice stand where the road branched left and right. Down the right path were most of the bars. Mimi's wasn't on the main drag. I can't remember exactly how to get to Mimi's bar or even what the actual name of the place was, but I know it was down a side street, well off the beaten trail. I found it by accident exploring the town. It was extremely small, maybe 200 sq/f, not much more than that. When you walked in, you do a right face and the few tables are in front with the bar to starboard. Don't remember if the juke box was to port or on the back wall. I wanna say to port, but I could be wrong. Mimi was gorgeous, late twenties or early thirties. Had a half American son. Don't think the father even knew before he rotated back. As a result, she would never date any of us. But that woman was a sweetheart. If business was slow, she'd lock the doors and break out the good sake. We'd have a few and then escort Mimi to all the other bars in town and get the most jealous looks from all the other servicemen having to settle for the "by me drinkie" girls. And absolutely nobody would disrespect her in our presence. Ever. Not even Shore Patrol. I've tried using Google Maps street view in Henoko and it's useless. I just can't remember where the place is. I hope Mimi and her son had a good life.

I was in 1st Tanks from Pendleton, but my company was attached to 1st Tracked Vehicle Battalion, half tanks and half amtracks. It was the first unit you passed as you cleared the main gate at Schwab.

Hey, are you the folks that would supply us with a FAC? Usually, the FAC replaces the loader on the XO's tank.

Back in March 2020, I played a gig out of town, in New Mexico. Our drummer wanted to have a family and friends party, and his brother is a guitar player, as am I. I'm not a big fan of "Free Bird", as it is a very taxing song to play, but the crowd insisted, and we played it. I've never seen a more "in to a song" audience ever. The song went on for what felt like an hour, my forearms were cramping, but people were jumping, screaming, and actually doing the "we're not worthy" genuflecting to us. A memory I will always carry with me.

Lynyrd Skynyrd named themselves after their high school teacher/coach Leonard Skinner. Apparently a favorite of theirs and a bit of a private joke amongst themselves.

Glad to see your reaction to this guitar hero classic.

[@DianaJG8]

Um...not really a "favorite" teacher, but a hard-ass that couldn't stand boys with long hair! It was more of a jab at the dude, and Skinner sued them, but they settled out of court and ended up with an uneasy friendship.

The Skynyrd boys kept from dying while waiting for their chance to record at the little Burlap Palace, also known as Muscle Shoals Sound studios. To keep from starving, they walked the streets of Sheffield, Alabama, picking up coke bottles and turning them in for 2 cents a bottle. Wasn't no easy way to succeed in Music's hey day. You had to be a TOUGH mother flucker to make it in that time period(the 60s and 70s) when all the greats were dueling for the top spots in the charts. To show you the drive and determination of the Men of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Every night they had to fight their way to Belews'Truck stop against truckers who didn't like their long hair. They had nothing to fall back on. They couldn't go back to mama. It was do or Die.

[@jimrentz]

When they would do this song on stage, usually the last song, Gary Rossington would do the slide guitar lead work with Allen Collins and Steve Gaines doing the rhythm guitar work at the beginning of the song and during the vocals. But once the vocals were over Allen Collins would then take over with amazing lead work that just blew everyone's mind. Then while Gary Rossington was doing the rhythm work, Steve Gaines would join in with Allen Collins in like a lead guitar duel. This song would often go on for a half an hour at live shows and nobody minded at all. For us Baby Boomers who were into Southern Rock and Roll this song was like THE anthem of Southern Rock. Everyone always talks about Ronnie van Zant the vocalist, and I really liked his voice but it was always the musicians in this band that always amazed me. The drummer, the bass player and the keyboard player were all amazing musicians and then how many groups have you ever heard of that had three, count them, three LEAD guitarist, anyone of which could leave you sitting there with your mouth hanging open.
