one of the best skynyrd songs ever written, listen to it on a regular basis, skynyrd is one of the greatest bands of all time, such original song writing and their own sound, totally original, freebird is the greatest song ever written, will be the last song i ever hear, before they lay me to rest, wjw
All we can do is look back and remember a great group of musicians that changed music history for all of us. As a guitar player Skynyrd was a refreshing break from the mainstream music to learn at the time. We will always remember as well as be glad to live the life experience that this one of a kind band gave us. Lynryd Skynyrd will forever be in our hearts and souls.
Wish I could "like" it twice! A great band was lost definately! Rest in peace. So great to listen to today. Nothing can ever take their place. Takes me back......
Lynyrd Skynrd will live forever in our hearts and minds through their wonderful ughsongs. There one of a kind and represent what classic rock n roll is about from the 70's. Although today in 2011 some try to classify them as country music, they are Southern Rock from Jacksonville, Florida. I can only think of a few other songs outside of Freebird that got as much radio airplay in the 70's & early 80's. Back in the day most live local rock bands almost always played this tune as always requested.
NO the plane engine was busted when they took off but the pilots said it wass still safe to fly when they were in the air the engine got cought on fire and the two pilost said seat down and strap yur self in and they crashed landed and one of them who survived had his rib cage stinking out ssoon or later patrols had found them and found 6 dead :( R.I.P
Legends......they didn't know what they were doing, because they loved what they were doing. Some of us can only be so forunate. Only a few of us will become legends, and live forever. Ronny, Allen, Stevie, Cassie, Leon, and Billy are already in playing in a different place. We have what they left behind. An echo of what and who they were-not as individuals, but as a whole. As a BAND. Ronnie asked "if I leave here tomorrow"....we still remember him and his band. FOREVER
The plane didn't simply run out of fuel. The pilot dumped fuel to reduce weight and misjudged the amount he'd need to make his emergency landing. He came up short.
i must say this is my favorite band and musicians ever! i love them! Tuesdays Gone was perfect for this! and ps i get to go see them for my first experience cuz im only 18:( september 2nd in ohio! im driving over 8 hours just to see what was passed on from the original legends:)
i was born in 1980, i am 30 and i know that i am a young pup when it comes to lynyrd skunyrd, but thanks to my dad and unkle who are still fans i was brought up on lynyrd skunyrd. when i was about 16 i found out about the crash and i am not ashamed to say it, i cryed like a baby that day. my son is 8 months old and he is all ready being brought up on lynyrd skynyrd. so too all of the fans that are still their don't let the music die!!
Cried like a baby,when it happened. Like alot of Southern boys many times I felt like Ronny was talking to me when he sang.I still put on my old vinal(c.d.'s have no soul) and drift away.Just like the old days. When I was hitchhiking in the rain in France or in the Mojave Desert,I was never alone all I had to do was put on "Second Helpin" in my walkman and I was on a dusty ole back road in Dixie. Thanks for ALWAYS bein there, words can't measure what I've been given for the price of an album
@Matt5581 Thank you so much for making this. They were a GREAT i mean GREAT band. :'( I mis hearing them. When i listen to this song i want to cry. They were awsome.
Had the priveledge of seein' b4 and after. 25 shows plus and countin'. Its great to know the youth of America is enjoyin' a true rock and roll band. true, honest, and drivin' , they told it like it was!!!

Very nice tribute, featuring one of my very favorite Skynyrd songs. I was in the 8th grade when the plane crashed and I remember it well, the plane going down in my home state of Mississippi.
By the way: that pic at 2:57 is the Grateful Dead on the steps of 710 Ashbury Street in San Francisco.
@DinosaursOnCrack1 You, me and many others. Glad someone feels the same way I do. I saw them last summer but they're just not the same band they was in the 70s. Ronnie made the band!
@waylon972 I mean Im 14 and this is honestly some of the greatest music ive ever heard i just got a skynyrd cd Icon 2 for christmas and I love it I wish I could of seen them live in the 70's.
I saw Skynyrd in Lakeland, FL two days before the plane crash I remember all my friends at school being bummed out. Sad day in rock and roll history. Fly free Ronnie!
the world has not been the same since ronnie left us, ronnie you will never knew the influence you had on my life. each time i hear simple man i will always think of you.i know your in heaven with your heaven with your mom and dad and sister as well as steve,cassie,leon,billy, and allen and looking down and saying thank you johnny for keeping my music and memory alive. ronnie you asked the question " if i leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me ?.ronnie i will always remeber you.
What do you get when you combine geniuses of song writing and musicians??? You get LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!!! Geniuses gone FAR TOO SOON!! RIP Ronnie, Steve,Cassie, Allen, Leon, and Billy!!!!
@trailrider2 Oh my God, I didn't know this. This just happened. How sad. Rest in peace to a pain in the ass gym teacher who had a hand in creating a force of nature.
Thank you for the memorial.. back in 1996 i worked for Gary and Dale as a nanny for their two gorls Mary And Annie.. every october 20 Gary spend time with himself griefing and remebering his bandmembers.. he will never forget..
the picture of ronnie vanzants grave in this video is his old one until it was robbed after that they moved him to Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery in jacksonville FL
There is simply nothing close to this anymore. I guess Ronnie went a lot of years before a lot of us, but when we go, I don't think there will be much left of what was rock-not many to remember, not many to play. Wish it could stay the same, but nothing seems to.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was the first consert I had went to in the 70's it was the best time ever and as my memeorues have it the best the group ever was!!! Sorry for the loss!
steveb234-pretty much, the pilot SCHEDULED to fly was very experienced, and NO accidents, but he DIDN'T fly, they wouldn't have crashed! The cousin of the pilot to be has made video (s) on here, found out thru him.
I was at that last concert in Greenville South Carolina in October 1977. I kept the ticket stub and the Street Survivor album a few years.
I sure wish I had those now.
I really thought it was a publicity stunt for a long time. I fully expected a Back from the Dead album. I will say that they could have never played before a more appreciative like minded audience. If knew then what I know now........
wileycoyoteengineer-I saw them May '76. Feel VERY lucky I did! Yeah I didn't keep mine, not a keeper of all that stuff (damn dust etc allergies) but wish I would've kept mine. One of the best concerts EVER.
That plane crash happened almost 10 years before i was born, and Skynyrd has still become a huge influence for me. The one thing about great bands like this one, is that no matter what happens there will always be young fans like me and the millions my age and even younger to carry on their proud legacy. I firmly believe that Skynyrd is the greatest band to every grace this planet, but thats just my opinion. R.I.P. and long live Lynyrd Skynyrd
i totally agree with you on this bc i was born in 1988 and skynyrd is a huge influence on me they are my favorite band one thing about ronnie and the band their music will always live on
I was at their "last" show as well. I was at the show LS did back in either '94 or '95 in Greenville which was their first time back here since that fateful night in '77.
I was there Oct 19,1977 at Greenville Memorial Auditorium, My first concert and the last for some. I saw Ronnie twirl the mic for the last time. Fly on free bird.
Yes the original grave was vandilized and the family have moved the body to an undisclosed location . the family and some close friends are the only ones who know where. As far as Johnny replacing Ronnie that was never the intent Johnny loved and looked up to ronnie and has carried on the legacy to honor his brother and fallen band mates
I dont mind the new band ,there not bad ,but the original was it,u will never replace Ronnie,His sole is lost in the band along with the others that passed in the plane crash and now......
Johnny has stated numerous times that he was not trying to replace Ronnie, only trying to keep the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd alive. He was asked to join the band, he did not ask them. I think Vicious Cycle is the best album the new lineup has released so far, although Endangered Species was a good album as well.
being from tn and southern born and bred there loss is real hard on all of us they came up like we did poor not haveing much and yes fighting is in our blood i guess,but it was a very sad day and still is hope to see all of them one day.rip
I was just getting into them and I was driving with my father and I heard it on the radio, I was 13 years old. That was so sad. I STILL love Skynyrd..
Im 38 yrs. old and grew up on the west side of Jax. Fl., in the same neighborhood some of the members did. On Oct. 20, 2007, exactly 30 years later AND at dusk (when the plane crash happened) I went outside and for a moment the sky looked an undescribable shade of orange. Then I saw approx. 30 white birds(1 for each year since) fly directly overhead and I KNEW this was a sign that they were there for that brief moment saying hello since I had remembered them and always had since I was little.
Truely the day the music died. BTW, if you want 2 know where their gitfiddles are, I hope a museum that we all can see, if not, I hope you don't want it for yourself to sell, then you would be a scumbag or as Ronnie would say, a carpetbagger. No Offense, I hope, just a word of caution from one Skynarnd fan to another-Dave/JW
Man Loved em.Grew upwith there music.Was just wonderin.Does anyone know where Steve Gaines Black Les Paul,or Allen Collins Gibson are at?These guitars should be in a museum.RIP to those we lost.
We had tickets for their gig in SF that was canceled when their plane crashed. I still have their last album that had the cover changed after that terrible day. Nice job, thanks.
Cried like a baby,when it happened. Like alot of Southern boys many times I felt like Ronny was talking to me when he sang.I still put on my old vinal(c.d.'s have no soul) and drift away.Just like the old days. When I was hitchhiking in the rain in France or in the Mojave Desert,I was never alone all I had to do was put on "Second Helpin" in my walkman and I was on a dusty ole back road in Dixie. Thanks for ALWAYS bein there, words can't measure what I've been given for the price of an album.
Just sad thinking about it. Such a good band. Gone!!! =[ Ronnie had an amazing voice great talent along with everyone else. It sad RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
stop saying lyunard skynard is the best band just becaus ethey died and their song featured on guitar hero 2. Yes they are a very good band but weither or not their the best is an opinion not fact.
This song was played at my husband's funeral & it's first time I've listened to it in 4 years.

I firmly believe that Skynyrd is the greatest band to every grace this planet, but thats just my opinion. R.I.P. and long live Lynyrd Skynyrd

I was at their "last" show as well. I was at the show LS did back in either '94 or '95 in Greenville which was their first time back here since that fateful night in '77.

I was there Oct 19,1977 at Greenville Memorial Auditorium, My first concert and the last for some. I saw Ronnie twirl the mic for the last time. Fly on free bird.

Yes the original grave was vandilized and the family have moved the body to an undisclosed location . the family and some close friends are the only ones who know where. As far as Johnny replacing Ronnie that was never the intent Johnny loved and looked up to ronnie and has carried on the legacy to honor his brother and fallen band mates
To a true fan this the utmost tribute
God bless !!

I dont mind the new band ,there not bad ,but the original was it,u will never replace Ronnie,His sole is lost in the band along with the others that passed in the plane crash and now......

Johnny has stated numerous times that he was not trying to replace Ronnie, only trying to keep the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd alive. He was asked to join the band, he did not ask them. I think Vicious Cycle is the best album the new lineup has released so far, although Endangered Species was a good album as well.

Im 38 yrs. old and grew up on the west side of Jax. Fl., in the same neighborhood some of the members did. On Oct. 20, 2007, exactly 30 years later AND at dusk (when the plane crash happened) I went outside and for a moment the sky looked an undescribable shade of orange. Then I saw approx. 30 white birds(1 for each year since) fly directly overhead and I KNEW this was a sign that they were there for that brief moment saying hello since I had remembered them and always had since I was little.

Truely the day the music died. BTW, if you want 2 know where their gitfiddles are, I hope a museum that we all can see, if not, I hope you don't want it for yourself to sell, then you would be a scumbag or as Ronnie would say, a carpetbagger. No Offense, I hope, just a word of caution from one Skynarnd fan to another-Dave/JW

Xxdarkstarsk8xX 2 years ago
Cried like a baby,when it happened. Like alot of Southern boys many times I felt like Ronny was talking to me when he sang.I still put on my old vinal(c.d.'s have no soul) and drift away.Just like the old days. When I was hitchhiking in the rain in France or in the Mojave Desert,I was never alone all I had to do was put on "Second Helpin" in my walkman and I was on a dusty ole back road in Dixie. Thanks for ALWAYS bein there, words can't measure what I've been given for the price of an album.
