I was 19 when this went out on BBC2. Now I've never been on any sort of chemical trip in my life, but it's safe to say that minds were blown on that evening, mine included!!! B¬) The guitar break on this song was voted 3rd best guitar break of all time by Guitar World magazine in 2003. Can't argue with that! B¬)
Gosh, this is really depressing right now. We all wish we were free birds, don't we? And still most of us probably are living in some sort of cage. Probably all of us. We must remember that there is life beyond that cage! LET'S ALL BE FREE!
al collins is a monster i play in a guns n roses tribute band lead guitar nd love slash but man can al collins and gary rossington play nd lets not forget about steve gaines he was amazing my favorite of the 3!!!
This is really very simple. This is one of the best rock songs ever made, anytime, anywhere. From beginning to end this particular concert version is as good as it gets. And who, exactly, makes comparable music today? Nobody.
heard this for the first time on a 12 inch single with a live drummer in the background deafening ! that was around 1980 ! still love it ! I had discovered rock !!!
Allen Collins needs to be mentioned more as one of the GREAT guitarists in rock history. This guitar solo is one of the most kickass you'll find on YouTube,
@thegorn68 absolutely right. Too bad he burned his capacity with alcool and seemingly drugs.
An absolute talent in guitar playing, very much reminding me of Johnny Winter for speed and phrasing. Even more simple and cinycal in his approach to the solo.
A true artist: as everyone else in the fist set up of this band.
.@thegorn68 they should all be remembered,really guid song, n that southern flag is superb!!!! it's like the st andrews flag on acid.c'mon the lynyrd skynyrd
The OGWT - a show of great brilliance, where is it's modern counterpart?? - this performance epitomises what it was all about - who does not do the air guitar at 5:57?? this is rock and roll - much played never bettered much loved....smokin...
this song really gets me off big time, one of about ten songs that i want played at my funeral, forget all that religious bollox, this type of music is my religion, not forced, just real, so real that you can feel it! instead of some fairy stories made up by some blokes hundreds of years ago!
at 13:00 ronnie and the boys down another bottle of whiskey then proceed to wreck the hotel room throwing televisions out the window and raising hell until the next show. rock on, ronnie. baddest man from the south
I am on a quest to find the correct sheet music for the PIANO INTRO to FreeBird. If anyone has it, please do not hesitate to send me an email at smdc3000@gmail.com
How come there are no rock bands like this anymore? No long haired, hard drinkin' outlaw-types who smash up hotel rooms and open for The Who, and kick ass??
