WE STARTED DANCING-LYNYRD SKYNYRD-FREE BIRD-FIRST TIME REACTION

[@RicardoCamargo]

R.I.P. Gary Rossington legendary guitarist, the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@edwardvolner8678]

Yeah,he was my favorite Skynyrd guitarist,he was so normal, anyone could chat with him and he would make you feel he was above you

[@hammertime615]

The live version will drive u insane...one of the best ever!!

[@danchristopher7957]

Absolutely fact..👍

[@stonehawk61]

I agree it it one of the best Rock videos on the internet!

[@Fiftynine414]

All these boys were friggin badasses. Been 50 years now since this was released. RIP boys - all original band members dead. The slide guitarist at the beginning of the song died a few months ago. Glad we got their masterpiece to remember them by.

[@timothybenetti5322]

Yes they were. Super Friggin Badass!!

[@michele6740]

It’s how the saying, “Wait for it” started. 🎸

[@moniqueleroux2198]

That is a guitar trio! Southern rockers love their guitars!

[@timothybenetti5322]

ALL rockers LOVE their guitars!

[@daseguin]

That's exactly why the album cover from this tells what the pronunciation is.

[@kathleenhayes9320]

You definitely need to hear the live version 1977!! A must.

[@edwardvolner8678]

RIP Gary Rossington

[@Scott-bc7du]

You owe it to yourselves to watch them perform this at the Oakland Coliseum in 1977, it will blow you away even more than just listening to it.

[@mariecharles878]

LOVED THE REACTION THESE GUYS ARE SUPER MISSED. THE LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG IS AT LEAST 2 MINUTES LONGER THAN WHAT YOU JUST HEARD. THAT WAS NICE FEET DANCING BUT THE LIVE GUITAR SOLO WILL KNOCK YOU DOWN WITH SPIRIT.

[@johnshea9526]

I saw them live in 1977 at Tulsa fairgrounds at the Willie Nelson picnic with Willie, Waylon Jennings and Jessi colter, Leon Russell, asleep at the wheel, Jerry Jeff walker, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was 15 years old at the time. Great memories. God bless

[@michele6740]

Wow. Awesome line up. We’re the same age if you were 15 in ‘77. I saw a lot of bands at “Mountain Aire” yearly concerts (craft faire, frog jump, plane show) Venue in Angles Camp, Calif. We did craft faires selling Tye Dye T-shirt in Texas & California. Love Waylon, Willie and the Boys (Jerry Jeff:)

[@notablindliberal896]

That's Allen Collin's shreddin on the solo, he wrote that riff at 16. Skynyrd named their band after one of the band members high school gym coach whose named was Leonard Skinner. They are Southern Rock Royalty.

[@freebirdtony]

Allen was actually 18 when he wrote the music to this classic. Btw, I dig your screen name.👍🏻

[@timothybenetti5322]

They are ROCK ROYALTY.

[@timothybenetti5322]

LARKIN ALLEN COLLINS⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@timothybenetti5322]

I love the OH JESUS!!!! True That! That solo (after 50 years) still gives me goosebumps!! Check out Freebird Live, Oakland Coliseum, Day on the Green, 7/2/77 -3 months before plane Crash ended the Dream 💔Love you guys!

[@jackrasbeary4156]

In 1000 years, this will still be the banger all other bangers are compared to.

[@edwardvolner8678]

The guitarists in the first half was Gary Rossington on slide, the shredder was Allen Collins

[@BoxerRick]

Aww Damn. This was my favorite reaction to this. 😂😂 The drummers arms had to be jello after this. God bless yall. This is a really hard hitting song too.

[@jamesmontgomery9523]

Great Reaction. The first part is the slow slide guitar and melancholy mood over a needed breakup, when the second part hits that is the Freebird taking off and flying wherever it wants to go. Though the second part is the bomb, the first part is the fuse - can't have one without the other in this epic song. Most reactors follow up with Simple Man which is a great jam also. Of course, it is hard to go wrong with any Skynryd tune.

[@billwalker7556]

In places, the high-pitched guitar mimics a bird flying free. This is something Duane Allman did on the 1970 Derek & the Dominos track "Layla," where at the end he plays the "crying bird." In that song, it signifies Layla's untamed spirit. In "Free Bird," the guy is the elusive one, refusing to be caged by intimacy.

[@kc59148]

Thumbs up for giving it a shot...hope you liked it...

[@silverdye7424]

Loved y'all's reaction

[@jasonturner8840]

Awesome reaction!

[@cinnamon962]

Do the live!!!! Do the live!!!!!!

[@davidhenricks9715]

Best song ever ❤️

[@donnastupka7507]

Hell yeah! That was fun guys! Great reaction!🎸🎸🎸

[@christinegitsham5809]

Hi guys I'm a 70 year old Londoner and I think the music then was the best, thanks for this video I loved to watch you both take off like a rocket, loved it, and I'm sure the Lord Jesus loves it too 😃👍🏼❤️🇬🇧

[@chatty-c6s]

Your reaction made my evening, and your excitement reminded me of my college years in the days when we, er, cough, might have smoked a few weeds.

[@vangreen9098]

Live version in Oakland California on July 2 1977… Don’t Miss it…. And the black shirt has the name correct!

[@jokuz9133]

amazing reaction. the song makes you wants you to leave your signigicant other and fly like a bird

[@tonycopeland881]

Call me the breeze is 🔥🔥

[@robinbeerman4726]

Need to watch Oakland live.

[@anjheidebrink]

This song is going to be played at my funeral cuz"Lord knows I can't change". Rock On, Praise Jesus🤘👊🙏😇🥰

[@danchristopher7957]

Followed by: Great Gig In the Sky (pink Floyd)

[@Alex-Wol]

My coach in college would put this song on at the end of a lifting session, and would make us do planks till the song was over. When the guitar hits you get a second wind

[@midwestfriday4898]

Now that's how you listen to Skynyrd.

[@kellydavis4571]

Stay in the Skynyrd Rabbit Hole!! Must watch the live version from Oakland CA!!!

[@paulcardsfan]

Yep, it's like a spiritual experience

[@Indy1831]

RIP Gary! ❤️

[@chrisgarner4872]

Nice reaction, enjoying what yall do

[@cocoann7681]

Love watching younger generation love this music! I seen live in concert great great music. Most of the people there were females! Lol

[@jasonturner8840]

So in the beginning it’s Gary Rossington on slide. The main lead at the end is Allen Collins, who by the way wrote most of the rhythm and lead to this song when he was 17! If you listen close you can hear double Leads at the end. That is both guitarists.

[@FrankBigDawgHatton]

Ed King played the second lead guitar

[@freeman-1776]

It will get you high, without drugs.

[@kimberlyjohnson8932]

Seen them three times and fixing go see them in July.Dallas ,fort worth.

[@harish71]

[@peteranderson-oe7un]

Was feeling low, not anymore, bless Pete 🙏 SW18 Wandsworth.

[@maleman61]

Oakland coliseum live 1977

[@allematthew1695]

Speaking of church this song was in the movie Kingsman

[@3generboiler]

Love seeing you have fun with a new experience.. he’s right, you have to love to this, particularly the guitar solo (3 guitars as I recall)

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

Not in the studio version. Studio was Gary on slide and only Allen on the long solo. They only had 2 guitarists when this album was cut.

[@trishc3099]

You should check out some Blue Oyster Cult. Don't Fear The Reaper and Burning For You are both really good, but Godzilla is my favorite.

[@stevenferguson-oq9nt]

Check out their song “On the Hunt”

[@chloedevlin6544]

White dude and a black dude, reacting, love it.

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

That was three guitars shredding ! Please watch the live from the 70’s. rock on guys.

[@toniobolonio]

Reds logic would translate skynyrd to SKY NIRE-D 😂 y’all r legit lmao great reaction!

[@dlla2661]

Your dancing was good..it was actually like being a "Freebird". Now, about Lynyrd Skynyrd. I am sooo glad that I got to see the original band in ATL at the Tech Coliseum 74/75. Being there demonstrated to me that no one can sing their songs like Ronnie Van Sant. He pours his spirit into each & every song. His little brother (Donnie) replaced him and he tries, but I haven't heard the Spirit in his vocals so I only listen to the original band. Also, (you probably know this by now), there are actually 3 guitars tearing it up during the second half of this song. They put that guitar symphony in there so that Ronnie could grab 20-30 minutes to rest his voice. There are so many songs that they did that were exceptional. Maybe try: "Simple Man" (it's slow, but epic), "Tuesdays Gone". Dammit, there is no way I can list all of their best songs. I hope you listen & enjoy much more of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@charleshall9755]

Johnny Van Zant replaced Ronnie and Donnie played with 38special.....

[@shirleybuffington6420]

The lead singer Ronnie Van Zant wrote this song after hearing one of the band members girlfriend ask him if I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me

[@russellgtyler8288]

When music was real.

[@tektoniks_architects]

Top 5 rock band, for me.

[@bimini1216]

[@stevedockeray]

[@annlykins4792]

Slide guitar ❤️Thanks young dudes 😁

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

Foot goes all the way to floor with the solo the next thing I know I got rollers in the rear view mirror.

[@lockaby1]

that is the way to get into good music

[@robertwalker1803]

Said to be the 1st or second best song of all time….the other one being “ Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. In whatever you want them in. The group was named after their high school P.E. teacher with a military haircut who said they were losers and would never go anywhere…his name was Leonard Skinner.

[@chrisgarner4872]

Simple Man next?

[@off-kiltervapors4634]

Now you gotta get some T for Texas or Call Me The Breeze by Skynyrd.

[@jasonturner8840]

Try “That Smell”

[@rigs6874]

[@baboquivari108jmjm]

If you wanna do so dancing, put on your dancing shoes and listen to Call Me. It'll get your soul mov'in and a groove'in.

[@markgulbranson7518]

[@grimreaper-qh2zn]

It's (or was) Skinard.

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Lynyrd Skynyrd = Lehn'erd Skin'erd or 'Leonard Skinerd' Skynyrd as in skin.

[@billwalker7556]

Leonard Skinner, the PE teacher whose name was immortalised in rock'n'roll history by his students, has died in Florida, aged 77. The teacher's distaste for the long hair of pupils at Robert E Lee high school in Jacksonville in the 1960s led to many a shaggy-fringed student being sent to the headteacher's office - among them the founding members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band adopted, then adapted, the sports tutor's name - its spelling purported to be a homage to the vagaries of southern American pronunciation - before achieving worldwide fame with rock anthems such as Sweet Home Alabama and Freebird. The group later befriended their former nemesis.

[@eman7892]
