SWEET HOME ALABAMA - LYNRD SKYNRD (LIVE) - REACTION!

[@stevevita4882]

The good old days everyone having a great time listening to great music and no cell phone

[@markmoscatello9461]

Absolutely

[@jude999]

And no one traumatized by Mt. Rushmore and the Confederate flag.

[@charlesbunch8383]

I agree the 70s were an awesome time for music. I was a little kid hearing this kind of greatness. Lynrd Skynrd...great musicians.

[@swampwitch6133]

Welcome to the #SkynyrdNation Dani :) That was just the way Ronnie was, he was just a southern boy liked to fish and spend time with family and make music. It was very rare anything affected him much. RIP Ronnie. The solo at the end was Ed King, he didn't ever get near he credit he deserved at the time for how great he was.

[@texasskyliner704]

That was Steve Gaines performing the end solo, not Ed King. King had already left Skynyrd. Gains was a phenomenal guitarist.

[@texasskyliner704]

Actually, the very last solo was Allen Collins. Steve Gaines was on the Strat before Collins, who was on the Explorer.

[@Tonymanero1960]

I remember getting up for school when I was in 11th grade in Bowie Md. Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of my favorite bands at the time. The radio station DC 101 played a couple of their songs in a row which wasn't unusual for that station. They had 2 for Tuesday,...or 3 for Thursday promos all the time from popular bands. After about the 4th song in a row,.. I knew something wasn't right. When the DJ came back on we heard the devastating news,......remember that was way before the internet so you had to hear the news in bits and pieces. And remember Dani,...Elvis had just died 2 months earlier.,....so sad for so many fans.

[@barryjustice655]

DC 101 was the stuff!

[@dakotaconners107]

we lost Ronnie, the middle female backup vocal and her Brother (young guitarist with Beard) in a plane crash, another 5 others in the group survived, not too long after this show (june 1977) - the plane crash was in Oct. 1977)

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Yep and I believe johnnies brother took over singing lead

[@dakotaconners107]

@@Vikinggirl1679 yes when they reformed the band with 2 of the original survivors)

[@kellywann3794]

You should cover Free Bird from the same concert. It’s epic. It will blow you away!

[@texaspatriot4215]

I was 19 when they did this concert, they were/are one of my favorite bands, my only regret is never having seen them in concert. Love to see young people like you reacting to great music, keep up the good work.

[@metalmellie4371]

I LOVE that old concert outdoor sound!! It reminds me of going to concerts in my teens and 20's! Nostalgia with a capital N!

[@freebirdtony]

I totally enjoy watching youngsters react to music that I grew up with, and is still my favorite genre and era, the 70's is it. This concert in Oakland is my all time favorite live performance by any band, be it in person or on video. There finale of "Free Bird" on that day is an absolute must watch video. 😊✌

[@swampwitch6133]

Definitely that imho was one hell of a performance from the band.

[@freebirdtony]

@@swampwitch6133 You sho got that right.👍

[@johndalessandro6433]

Dani, this is my faovrite band all time! They where so good live, that when they opened for the Stones in the U.K. , the Stones had to wait longer to go on stage after "Freebird" cause the crowd was so wound up. There is alot more to that story but ill just keep it there for now 😊 ty for the reaction. Glad you enjoyed it

[@krisa990]

Not possible to have such incredible concert experiences anymore and its not only due to corona..its also due to different times...its just so different now...

[@jamesmontgomery9523]

Ronnie was the King of Cool. Three and a half months later Ronnie, Steve in red pants, and his sister Cassie, singer in the middle would die in a plane crash. They were the best!

[@davecassady7468]

I live five minutes from the Van Zant childhood home & ten minutes from the house where the Allman Brothers officially formed & where Whipping Post was written.

[@debbiemontgomery9635]

@@davecassady7468 That's awesome!!! 👍

[@lantose]

I’ve been to seven of their concerts beginning in 1975 and they always play the songs virtually note for note, just like you heard it on the radio or album! It’s really hard to watch these old ones and knowing that Ronnie Van Zant (singer), Steve Gains (2nd to the last lead guitar solo) and his sister (one of the backup singers) died in the 1977 plane crash along with the pilot and co-pilot!

[@jeffwarren4938]

Man...that Steve Gaines solo kicks ass! What a guitar player!

[@StevenEverett7]

A classic song from a classic band. Thank you for featuring this one Dani! Cheers, Steve

[@WendellBurkhart-g9v]

This is the best they ever done That song and Stevie Gaines and Allen kicking the living Hell out of it to.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I don’t know if you heard Ronnie when Allen Collins (dressed in white) was playing. He said, “Wait a minute.” If he didn’t give Allen a cue to stop, he would play for an infinity. LOL.

[@glennallen239]

Happy Easter Dani! Thanks for reacting to my request. This song was played in My Junior High and High School dances and in Skating Rinks. I graduated High School in 1982. In College at Parties etc everytime this was played everyone would sing along. One of my best college friends was from New Jersey. She was with me when everyone started singing this song and Hank Williams Junior Song Family Tradition. I told her they were Southern Anthems and in North Carolina you just sang the songs. She said she had noticed it at several places in her college parties.

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Great great song and band! No one can touch their talent! Such a shame that barley two months later tradgedy would strike. The lead singer Ronnie VanZant, guitarist Steve Gaines in the red pants and looks like shaggy from scooby doo (lol), his sister backup singer Cassie Gaines (middle girl in the black top), the bands manager and the pilot and copilot all died when the bands plane crashed and many other members had horrible injuries that took years to recover from. Some never fully recovered.. It's erry to see Steve playing right in front of his sister. RIP. MUST DO freebird from this very same concert. It will blow you away.

[@barrypayne4285]

Thank you for playing the live version !!! It why I watch you reation instead of other. Bp

[@davidcalvert2710]

Best rock band ever!

[@Massimo645]

skynyrd the mates of my youth,i play alabama every day, it's like drinking an italian coffee, it gives me the charge. Lynyrd Skynyrd the greatest band of the seventies

[@ripsaa2693]

It was a diss to Neil Young's song Southern Man..my favorite line us Watergate does not bother me does your conscience bother you

[@rickthoma6428]

Live is the best with this band.

[@mitchellmagee4590]

You definitely brighten up my everyday, God bless you honey and happy Easter sweetie, love you and lynyrd skinnerd, you rock Danni. Mitch. Love always watching and so glad I'm subscribed. P. S. You're so beautiful, we're all so proud to have you with us.

[@randymarsengill6035]

When you see the bass player get airborne you've seen a great band. RIP Leon Wilkinson and every one of these super talented rockers. Heaven must have a hell of a band.

[@haroldkeil8582]

Day on the Green at the Oakland Coliseum was very popular here in Northern California in the late 70' and early 80's. Like you see here in 76 or 77.

[@jamesdalton8539]

most of the band died short time later in a plane crash! such a sad time i remember!

[@protonneutron9046]

this was an awesome concert. Summer '77 Oakland coliseum

[@markmoscatello9461]

Hey Dani, have a Happy Easter. Wishing you the best. Yeah it doesn't get better than some great southern rock with lyynyrd skynyrd. So free and loose.

[@friedrice69]

T for Texas, I Need You, Travellin Man. Live 1976. Thanks!!

[@andyschnell58]

Happy Easter to you Dani. A classic rock tune for sure. I had not watched this performance before either. Thanks for your reaction.

[@stevehegner5805]

What an awesome video! Skynyrd is my favorite band but I hadn't seen that before. Thanks for sharing it. And I hope you had a really nice Easter Day with your family.

Great song, he has a lot of great songs! Looks like your having fun!!

[@rubbersole79]

Ronnie thought so much of Steve Gaines musicianship that he said "One day we'll all be living in his shadow...."

[@Jamesd1861]

Day on the green with, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Peter Frampton and the Outlaws that’s what good music is all about not this Horse shit today 🎤🎼🎹🎸🥁

[@lancekilkenny721]

Miss America.....

[@crimson1453]

Don't we all

[@93corvettebaby]

I gotta say I found this song kinda funny when I found out they was from Florida.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Yeah, me too. They recorded a lot in Alabama and spent a lot of time at the Muscle Shoals Studio. It’s an iconic place where many artists have recorded. When they heard Neil Young diss Alabama and the Southern man (in two different songs of his), they leapt into action and wrote this song

[@rickthoma6428]

Guitars..drums...singer..piano player...the girls singing,was due to their reheasing for hours.

[@steveroth191]

Well done, Dani!

[@jimnicosia5934]

Can you imagine being that young and that good of a musician.

Try Lynyrd Skynyrd - Call Me The Breeze that's the definition of southern rock

Happy Easter, Dani! You might react to some early Smokie with Chris Norman as the lead singer. Perhaps the song 'Don't play your Rock N Roll'

[@carlgarnett8817]

Yes hello it's me again hi there yeah just getting up late today and I see I have some videos to check out London YG artists are those were the days the seventies 60 smart too bad but the 70s they were good days not just that we're younger anyhow keep up the good work from Canada Toronto Scarborough Ontario Carl Supertramp Garnett TCB

Interesting reaction, I would be very grateful if you would react to the trio's performance during the Eurovision Junior 2020 performance.

Seeing this video is so sad....just a couple months until the terrible plane crash....which could have been prevented ...If only they knew that Steven Tyler and his management decided not to take that old and worn down plane and pilot....it’s just a sad part of rock and roll history....Ken

Yes I love your reactions I was wondering if you would react to me singing Sweet home Alabama which I'm not no famous person and I only sang in public with the band a couple times and a couple times I did the person with the band made my dream come true and that was to get on stage and sing in front of people and that happened I'm 60 years old and my dream has come true that had happened when I was 38 years old now I'm 60 I wish you would react to me doing Sweet home Alabama hillbilly Dave it's on KZbin and I'm not famous whatsoever just a regular person that with the help of this particular band made my dream come true are you reacting to it would put it even a step further by reacting to me doing this song I think I did okay job the fact is that you could make someone's dream come true it could be something that my grandchildren and their grandchildren can watch and maybe inspired them to reach for their dreams KZbin Sweet home Alabama hillbilly Dave it's nothing else just check it out I think it's awesome because I didn't let fear get my way of my dreams thank you

Damn!! I was at this show. 44 years ago. Really? I love the Giant rebel flag. Back then we're turbulent times, like today. That flag stood for standing against an oppressive government...lol, how times have changed. Now it is basically banned, by an oppressive government. Great band! Not as good as Blue Oyster Cult..but everybody was good in the 79's..

[@parlance.electricco]

If that was happening today a gang of backpack-wearing purple-haired jollies would get up and burn the confederate flag, and then CNN would have a 24/7 month-long newsflash about the horror of them flying it.

[@danielsantana8601]

Do you even know what he is talking about maybe you should listen to the song southern man by Neil Young and you'll realize that this song is RACIST or maybe you just don't care?
