There are a couple of other reactors to this song, who are black, and they were looking at the San Francisco concert, where the promoters put up a big Confederate flag backdrop behind the band. Not one of the reactors mentioned the flag, only focusing on the great music and the crowd. In the comment section, there were lots of comments about the flag, what it meant to each person. Many said it was a classic 1960 sign of rebelling against conformity, or that it meant Southern culture, not racism. And Neil Young apologized to the band for implying they were racist in his song "Southern Man," replied to in "Sweet Home Alabama." Lots of posters thanked the reactor a lot, saying that music is one of the best ways to unite people. I just found Sabaton, and they are doing that too, having people learn about different countries' histories and individual feats of bravery. If Covid hadn't come along, I would not have been homebound and bored, and getting onto KZread. Music had drifted away from my life, but now it's back! Happy New Year to all of us!

It’s always been interesting to me that blues and country/southern rock are mirror images of one another. Both genres focus on great storytelling about love, and the struggles of blue collar working class Americans. It’s just sad that their fan bases are often at odds because there are way more similarities, both tend to be fairly conservative, and quite religious. It’s a powerful demographic that could wield serious power if they ever got together.

He always played it exactly the same way. In fact he double tracked it in the studio. If you listen close you can hear it.

True story: They had to go for a fadeout because the band wouldnt stop soloing. They are still in the same studio to this day playing that solo.

@jean-lucasymptotic5083

5 жыл бұрын

The real kicker is once the solo really starts going, a second guitarist comes in and plays slightly delayed off the lead guitar and tuned slightly different, which is what creates that unique sound of the rising solo - when in reality, it becomes a duet played like two solos. Then the bassist comes in, and adds their own "solo" to the duet and it becomes a stringed trio - and takes on the Mozart or Beethoven style of chamber music of three stringed instruments soloing in unison creating off shoot melodies that turn into harmonies and collapse back into themselves. And then the rhythm guitar enters the frey and BAM a quartet of soloists, a stringed quartet Two Violins (Lead guitars) a Viola (Rhythm Guitar) and a Chello (Bass). The structure of the "solo" is very classical; and so is the execution. It even moves through the eras of common practice music from Baroque (Bach) to Classical (Mozart) to Romantic (Beethoven). Overall it's a composition that, if played by a string quartet would pass as Mozart to the untrained ear.

Thank you for letting me relive my first time hearing the solo through you! Totally made my day and made me fall in love with the song all over again

Ronnie Van Zant actually wrote Freebird as a Tribute to Duane Allman. Most people associate the song with the plane crash that killed Ronnie, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines and others. Ronnie wrote the song before the plane crash obviously. The slide guitar parts are played by Gary Rossington and are a subtile tribute to Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers Band.

This guy is having so much fun with this video. I've heard this song over a thousand times and watching it with him makes me feel like I'm hearing it for the first time again. I hear a lot of people say rap music isn't real music or on the other spectrum that country music isn't real music, and the people who say that know damn well it's not true. Theres a time and place for all genres. Music is love. Even if you dont understand it yet, it's there. It tells a story.

It’s 2 guitarists, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, in a godly harmony that us mere mortals have been blessed with. A legendary band for sure. This song actually is what got them signed. They were so poor none of them had shoes and they’d collect bottles to pay for their guitar strings. They were playing in some small bar that a producer happened to stop in to and he invited them to the studio that night

Sir, I have been listening to this song since the mid 1970's, it is one my all time favorite songs and I have analyzed and over-analyzed every note, beat, lick, riff, and line. In 40+ years of listening to this song, I have NEVER thought of it as a "break-up song". UNTIL NOW! I love your perspective on this classic song, and your interpretation is refreshing. To paraphrase a friend, music is THE universal language, and everyone brings to it their own perspectives and life experiences. Maybe, just maybe if we all talked more about music, and actually listened to each other, we might find out we have more in common as a society than we think. Music has it's roots in primitive humans and has evolved as we have, in a very diverse and sometimes unique way. I'm new to your channel, but am now a Subscriber. Thank you for reminding me that there are more ways to listen to something that I have heard nearly all my life.
