The first album there were only two guitarists playing, Ed King played bass on their first album. It was Second Helping where the genius of Ed King was truly discovered

The Allman Brothers would be my first choice! Good call.

So incredible. Really glad you guys enjoyed. I think different people will interpret the meaning of this song differently but I think it is about a man that cannot commit to one particular woman but must be free to wonder.

Your reactions were the same as millions of kids back in the day! This anthem will blow you away.

You picked an awesome first song in your introduction to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Freebird isn't about him going to war though it's about what it means to be free, in that a bird can fly wherever he wants to go. It's also about everyone wants to be free...that's what this country's all about. Skynyrd are still legendary. The guitarist you hear is Alan Collins. Amazing guitarist. He was one of the founding members of the band. Watching your reaction is so typical of what the song makes me feel like. You just get lost in it. You feel instinctively like you're floating and spinning. It's so...hard to describe.

Another epic song in this vein is the Outlaws' "Green Grass and High Tides". You want guitar solos, hold my beer.

He is saying he has a Free spirit, & can't stay with her for too long.

Your reactions are everything! Welcome to the gold standard of southern rock, the anthem of the south! You heard the dueling guitars of the amazing Allen Collins and Gary Rossington. Watch Skynyrd's live version of this either in Oakland in 1977 (only a few months before the fatal plane crash) or England in 1976 and you will see Allen, Gary and Steve Gaines in action. You know they shred it when the fans that were there for the Rolling Stones booed the Stones and wanted Skynyrd back ('76). If you want to hear more Skynyrd, give "Simple Man" and "Tuesday's Gone" a listen.

This band had WORLD CLASS guitarists.

You guys need to do Rush. You have talked about transitions and no band pulls transitions like Rush. Plus, as a bonus, you will be hearing three of the greatest musicians ever.

Welcome to southern rock. Skynyrd, Allman Bros., Marshall Tucker...

Allen Collins finger work on this song is blistering.

5:25 “Dude, they’re preparing for something”. No truer words were ever spoken. 😄

I believe this song is in tribute to Duane Allman, the guitarist of the Allman Brothers (another band you should react to). He died tragically in a motorcycle crash when he was about 25. His legendary guitar work lives on though.

Rock ‘n’ roll, country, rhythm and blues, Motown, funk and reggae... if you wanted music at the highest level the 1970s!...DELIVERED!!👊😀❤️

You guys are like watching my husband listen to an awesome solo. I love seeing pure love for music.

The "Free Bird" theme is like the "Ramblin' Man" theme. A guy who just has to go. "Is there more than one guitar?" Yes. There are 3. Oakland and Knebworth are both great. Oakland might edge out on sound, but Knebworth is cool, because the guys blew the Stones away - and performed on the "forbidden tongue" to close the show.

yes they rip just as hard live.check out the live version of this you will love it.

Y'all need to watch them do it LIVE!!!!

Every reaction I've seen to Freebird, newbies just freeze at the exact same moment. I love it!

And the official live version from the album One More from the Road - they did not fade the song out - it kept building to an even more epic finally

I was waiting for this video for a long time

You have found one of the Best Southern Rock Bands. More Please..Enjoy

Imagine driving in my 71 TBird and this comes on the radio. Oh, Hell Yes !!!!

There are two guitarists, and the 'live' version goes on and on so wonderful to watch and listen to. The best live version is at an English outside concert, someone will know exactly where I promise!

Actually, there are three guitarists - Allen Collins, Ed King and Gary Rossington on the studio version. You can see three guitars on the live version. The two most played live versions are Oakland '77 and Knebworth '76.

Recommendation: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son.

Free Bird is the best example of an "eargasm". Like you need to smoke a cigarette after listening.

Oh you have got to see the live version ... it will blow your mind!!! I’m a old southern hippie and been listening to them almost my whole life

Oh bloody hell!! I'm so pleased you both made it to the end. I thought you were going to spontaneously combust otherwise!😊. I love your videos and reactions. Thank you.

he is in a band. lives his life on the road. not the settling down kind.

I absolutely love Lynyrd Skynyrd Great jams ...give, "call me the breeze " a listen.. It's a great "down south " jam aka a foot stopper..!😁👍 you're welcome!!

The Legend says the guitar has melted , at the end of the recording of this song ...

The BEST is Live August 21, 1976 at Knebworth! The guitar solo is longer and better. Do NOT watch Oakland in ‘77. People will tell you Oakland and they are so wrong. Sound quality is bad and there is a part where they edit. You want 1976 where they opened for The Rolling Stones. Trust me.

He's right guys. Knebworth 1976 & only Knebworth gives u the true Lynyrd Skynyrd experience. I live in the South & saw them live many times before the plane crash.

I was in a riot in Houston in 1977 that involved about 4000 hippies, 100 cops, and Lynyrd Skynyrd playing Free Bird. Every time I hear it, I get a little memory adrenaline. Great concert before it all went to shit.

Being 64 years old I was raised on Skynyrd music. Lynyrd Skynyrd used three lead guitarist a bass player, piano player/keyboardist and Drummer. All three guitarist were lead quality and each had different kinds of guitars with three different sounds that in Free Bird you can hear but 85% of the solo or kinda solo was Allen Collins with Gary Rossington on the glass slide and Steve Gaines also. You should really check out the live version from the California concert in I believe 1976 or early 1977 just before the plane crash in October of 1977 where Ronnie VanZant the lead singer and leader of the band along with Steve Gaines lead guitarist and one of the female back up singers and Steve Gaines sister Cassie Gaines were killed with road manager and two pilots were all killed in the crash just after they released Street Survivor. It was a few years later that Ronnie's little brother Johnny VanZant took the band Lynyrd Skynyrd back on the road and was the lead singer and with Ricky Medlock taking Steve Gaines place as third lead guitarist. Fact is the very last album Called Last of A Dying Breed is the best they ever put out with Johnny at the lead vocal. The whole album is killer. Check that one out too.

Once again you can't compare to the live performance RIP

He's not going into the Army. The last thing you are in the military is "Free" bird or anything else. You guys have never served so I'll give you a pass. Watch some of the boot camp/basic training videos out there. The Marine Corps Boot Camp is really informative.

Was really a joy to see guys who like '70s music hearing Free Bird for the first time. Reminds me of my own 14 yr old brain melting the first time I heard this... fun times.

Lynyrd Skynyrd at Knebworth ,1976 and the live version of ''One More From The Road'' 1976 live album.. . Lynyrd Skynyrd is an album band .. You have to hear their albums from the 1970s to understand the sound they had ...
