Watch the live version 1977 Oakland coliseum auditorium version. Ignore the flag in the background it doesn't mean what you think it does & notice the people in the crowd how much better the 1970's were.

It is just like getting ducked the first time, just better, much better. Free Bird is basically the best music you can do with some guitars. It is epic because they were so good. And now you understood why the call "Free Bird" in case of a band asking what they should play cannot be done :D

One of the greatest American songs ever.

Your smile is intoxicating. Love that glimmer in your eyes when you hear music

It's impossible to call it a solo because it's three different guitarists swapping riffs, but it is one of the most amazing instrumental passage in all of rock music.

With all the energy the musicians put into the song, please include the 4th guitarist -- the bassist -- as he works his fingers off near the end. You must check out the live performance at Oakland Coliseum in July 1977. You'll be amazed at the size and enthusiasm of the crowd. Maybe react to that video, too?

Lynyrd Skynyrd was opening for The Who, in St Louis, on November 28, 1973. We were running extremely late for the show and got to our seats when the crowd was screaming for LS to play an encore. Of course, the encore was Free Bird and it was the only song I was able to see performed live by the original band members.Then The Who can on and performed Quadrophenia in all its splendid entirety. All in All, it was a phenomenal night of music.

Empress JJ, about one minute in: "This is really slow and soft"" Everyone watching: "Just hang on, dear!" Empress JJ: "OMG! I get it now!!!" Thanks for your great reaction! if you want to react to more Skynyrd try "Tuesday's Gone". Peace to you and continued success with your excellent channel!!

One of the greatest guitar solos of all time

Your smile is beautiful this music 🎶 is very beautiful

That smile when the tempo picked up, before the big solo came in made the whole video worth while👍😍

As someone who has been a huge Skynyrd fan for the past 45 years, I just love seeing someone experiencing their greatness for the first time. They are, in my opinion, the best American rock band ever. Your reaction was awesome! It was a joy to watch and listen to you. Made my day. Thanks!

Lynyrd Skynyrd=Legends of Rock N Roll. Such a talented bunch.

They made so many great songs. Simple Man, Tuesday’s Gone, call Me The Breeze, Sweet Home Alabama and many more.

I remember the way I felt the first time I heard this song. It still gives me the same feeling every time. Like it’s the first time. Yeah, you’re a little rocker. Make a southern rock girl outta you yet! Keep rockin!!!

This young lady gives the best expression of Joy at a tempo change I've seen in a long, long time

Empress this made me smile so much. Heres the thing, everybody watching this, and I mean EVERYBODY knows this track; and and we are all just waiting to see your face at the point it transitions into upbeat Southern rock. And you didn’t disappoint. The range of faces you made describe a series of pictures of joy and amazement. Its a fabulous number loved by so many even after all these years (its early to mid 70s but somebody who knows better will correct me) - Certain tracks are famous for these changes/surprises call them what you will that take the reactor by pleasant surprise, and this is one of them. Great reaction, your face is an absolute picture. If I may be so bold as to suggest you react to Deep Purples Child in time (Studio version ) you will experience something similar but even better (in my opinion) than Freebird, as good as Freebird obviously is. Treat us all and give it a go, you wont regret it.

I am over 60 I have seen them very young live my reaction was the same WOW !

That’s a band with three guitar players playing that… And I’ve been trying to play “air guitar “, to all three, since ‘74, or ‘75!

That is two guitarists playing the same thing at same time. One of best solos in rock.

Simple man by them is amazing

the best part about everyone hearing this for the first time is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they just enjoy it . that's what music is about .

There are 3 guitarists playing together to make that sound

Empress great reaction,you never fail.. Lynyrd Skynyrd (Len-erd Skin-ard).Free Bird is a Southern Rock Classic,one of the Best, most famous Rock songs ever...It's 3 guitars at the end of the song going at it back n forth ....Great Stuff... It's Southern Rock at it's Best....Seen them Live in Nassau Coliseum 1976 in NY....Free Bird best encore i ever seen....Lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt and Guitarist Steven Gaines and Steven Gaines Sister died in a Plane Crash in 1977....Loved watching Empress Rock Out to this Southern Rock Classic..Keep On Rockin Empress...

Free Bird is a VERY special song,,,,glad you like it. 👍👍👍😎 Their song,,,Call Me The Breeze,,,,will make you move even more,,,🔥🔥🔥👍

Absolutely love your reaction

Awesome, timeless band and music! Loved watching you enjoy them so much! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Classy babe swaying to a classic tune!!! Love it❤️❤️❤️

BEST FIRST REACTION TO FREE BIRD I HAVE EVER SEEN. That Switch though! That amazing smile exploded on your face!

love this reaction!!!! such an amazing song and tune

Hello, pretty lady. It's pronounced "Leonard Skinnard." Simple Man, Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, I Know A Little, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Call Me The Breeze and What's Your Name are just a few of this amazing band's other great songs.

This song was released in 1974, but the most famous version was recorded live in July of 1977. Unfortunately 3 months later, their chartered plane went down along with lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and lead guitarist Steve Gaines. Although the group was recreated 10 years later by Ronnie's brother, it never was the same.

The music tells the story! The slow part at the beginning is him regretting that he has to leave. As it speeds up, that's him leaving. When it's full speed, that's his feeling of freedom when he's gone. Musical genius'!!!!

In my youth, I toured Wisconsin and the surrounding states with a rock band. Our agent booked us in the roughest bars and clubs. We HAD to play Freebird, and play it good. If we didn't, we wouldn't make it out of there alive.

Well, if you like guitar, you have found the band that delivers, with 3 lead guitarists. My personal LS favorites are "Call Me the Breeze" and "That Smell."

Yeah, just when you think they can't make it more intense, they step it up a notch, and then keep going... amazing song

Empress dancing like me cleaning the house! I love it. ✌🏽

So happy you found Skynyrd.

Another great oldie and another great reaction by you Empress!!! You had the exact same reaction as most of us had back in 1973 when the song was released nobody could believe what they were hearing!!! Sadly three members of the band died in a plane crash and a couple other members died of other causes so the band that tours today only has two original members. You keep smiling Bright eyes and I look forward to hearing you next reaction good work

This was played in the funeral of my childhood friend, which died from self-inflicted overdose. It gives an already beautiful song so much depth, and tears always finds me when I listen to it.

I need you by lynyrd skynyrd is the greatest love song of all time.. please please treat yourself to that masterpiece

You saw it through. Most people can't take it all and fold halfway. Well done!

Every time I hear this song, I think of one of the most dramatic scenes from the movie Forrest Gump. The scene where Jenny (Forrest's best friend) is about to commit the irremediable.

This has to be one of the best reactions to this song. I've seen so many say it's too long but she just went with it and enjoyed it how it's meant to be. Great work

I can listen to this song on replay forever ..... LEGENDS!

you have to watch them live...., they were great entertainers!

I don't mind when she pause's during solos bc she knows exactly I mean EXACTLY where to stop just to keep that rhythm fresh

Thanks for the Skynyrd break, got my American Tour Shirt on...Was an Awesome Group!

Skynyrd is simply one of the best! It’s fun to see someone experiencing this for the first time. They were about 21 years old when this album came out. The singer, Ronnie was a couple years older. The band just played their first concert Friday and Saturday night, since the pandemic.

Empress , this was three star quality lead guitar players working together . The nice slow slide guitar Was Gary Rossington , the other two were Allen Collins , and Steve Gaines . Each of them would have been a star on their own . Together they were unbelieveable .

This is an great song that every band had to learn how to play in the 70s Because people would yell and chant free bird until they played it! For years After it was released. I loved your reaction to it! So the next time you see a live band start yelling out Free Bird 🤭
