  • the best fuckin guitar solo in the history of mankind!!!

  • i like this song better after the 4:40 mark

  • makes me wanna blaze

  • Man that Allen Collins was the greatest guitar soloist ever. I know the most of these guys are dead but definatly not forgot. I would rather hear the extended version anyday. This is a true classic song and the guys who made this song possible deserves the credit. To Ronnie Vansant and Allen Collins you both are the reason I can't stop hitting the replay button. RIP 2 thumbs up

  • 12 people are caged birds...

  • Rock on! This is an awesome video! :-)

  • lynyrd skynyrd kicks ass

  • how could you dislike this song

  • AGUANTE LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!

  • Did they pre-date ZZ Top? - there's some pretty big beards and hair there.

  • Now THIS is real music video. Couldn't get better.

  • Legendary

    great job editing!

  • if u dont like this there's something wrong with you...

  • Like music to my ears.. oh wait.. :L

  • from boring to brilliant in ten minutes

  • This song is dedicated to my beloved 17 yr old son, Joe, whom will forever be my FREEBIRD - I miss you and love you so much Joe - may you soar forever high and be smiling upon us as you watch over us - You will never be forgotten and you always were my freebird - your life was taken too soon and I will forever have a special place in my heart that will forever ache for that one last hug, the "I love you more"s and "I love you mum"

  • you did a great job, with the syncing

  • my dad used to blast this back in tha day rip dad

  • love this song

  • I just saw, I guess it was from a DVD, the original Hamburg version of this song for the first time today (the edited video portion of this upload). It was great! I admire what you've done here and understand that sometimes the studio versions of songs are just better. But I have to ask, is that what possessed you to take the obviously large amount of time and effort to create this hybred version, better audio? Well done, but puzzling nevertheless, heh! Be well. Peace, \A/

  • @Awwa1 Not that the studio version is "better" but that the audio for the Hamburg performance is subpar. Not to mention Ed King totally ruins Allen's solo with some inexplicably terrible improv.

    Of course the best versions of Free Bird are the live ones. Knebworth, Oakland, OMFTR, etc. All have way more energy and Allen just flies.

    I made this because it was fun and I have tremendous respect for the original Lynyrd Skynyrd. What other reason do I need?

  • @nenxe no other reason better! And you did a real good job! Thanks for the explanation! Peace, \A/

  • This is a great version and your comments illuminated people like me to the tragic loss of the band.

  • I love they bounce around! haha

  • the best 10 mins i ever spent of my life was here watching this fantastic song,now where's my air-guitar gone................

  • W O W Y!!!!

  • Enjoy people, cos bands like this will never come along again. Lynard, Floyd, Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles, ACDC, the real rock and roll bands, that made EPICS, not just songs, but tracks that will always stand the test of time.... I pray that talent like this will appear again, but with the likes of "talent" shows, and idiots like Cowell around... well...... :(

  • Old School !

  • GTA san andreas :)

  • THIS ONLY 1 GUITAR HE played THATS the old music, not crap like now in youtube,

    Like this if u agreee

  • "Play" your part.  :-)

  • gta san andreas K-DST

  • nice job on this !!!!

    

  • ko se ne drogira ne razumije ovo

  • Mein Gott!

  • So how many guitars are actually in use here???

  • THIS is an Americana. This is an important part of our music heritage. No joke kids. One day this will be printed or read in our institutions as one of the best American Folk, Rock, or POP. This video spells all of it.

  • I would lick Ronnies ass.

  • There is 19 guys playing guitar! WHO are those guys!? I do not believe this is a STUDIO version, however it is BEAUTIFUL!

  • God Bless Ronnie, but he seems a little befuttled...or in my spelling, a bit done, hun!

  • Who is the fat blonde man? hahahahahahahahaa

  • Who is still alive in this video?

  • Excellente Video!

  • WHO is the Blonde man, playing GUITAR, with a Top Hat on?

  • @rocketvon Ed King

  • @schachchess Wrong!

  • @rocketvon Ooops sorry. Guy with top hat is Leon Wilkeson & the guy next to him is Ed King.

  • you did an AMAZING job here. thank you so much. happy chanukah, merry christmas, and may 2012 be your best year ever. <3

  • sheer excellence

  • just wish they would show more of the drummer. 7:23 and on is best part. this is the greatest southern rock song ever!

  • OK WHO'S GOT THE FN ALEVE ! I THREW MY NECK out head banging!!!

  • allan's hand speed on the solo is amazing... i love gary's slide solo.

  • @xljeraldlx hate to burst your balloon, i love this band, but that speed isnt all that fast.

  • que temazo at costa de bquilla

  • i luv dis song so sad tho

  • Way to go! This video really must have took a lot of work. Thank you for going through so much effort with one of America's greatest (if not the greatest) band!

    RIP all lost members of the band. You will be remembered forever.

  • fantastic work on the video. started listening and i forgot what i was doing

  • THE BEST SOLO GUITAR

    THUMPS UP if u AGREE!!!!

  • classic

  • I went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert and it was so awesome.I really enjoyed myself .My favorite song is FREEBIRD and SWEET HOME ALABAMA.

  • Fantastic gutair track no other track comes close to it either a shame they got killed in a plane crash

  • best version of the best music of L.S.

  • 11 people don't know what sync means

  • @JoanJettforever yeah!!!

  • Thanks for uploading this legendary tunes.

  • thank you for this amzing video ive loved this song since i was in the woumb its my favorite song in the whole wold in my mind its the all time greastest song in the world and whoever disliked it is a god damn fool

  • nice work ! respect !

  • Indeed. Thanks so much for this superb video and all the hard work and trouble you have taken to mix it. I think if people can only come on here and say how bad something is ... well clearly they looked up the wrong link! Having done so it seems a bit silly to then post negative comments and take their stupidity out on someone else! The original Skynyrds were amazing and I remember being totally devastated at the time of the crash.

  • to the critics, dont compare this band with any other. they were lynyrd skynyrd, one of the greatest southern rock bands ever. they were who they were. that alone is the only thing that will ever matter. its a great video. thanks for all the work mixing this studio version to the video.

  • Talking to an ex playing this..... win.

  • @BWFSabian Unfair to judge 'em that way, and very juvenile to try to say one is "better" than the other.

    You gotta listen to every track on One More From The Road, that's how they sounded LIVE!

  • @nenxe dude i gotta say that page did more of this sort of stuff with the Yardbirds. to compare these 2 bands in their prime is only something you can do if you dont know alot all about them.

  • @BWFSabian led zep shouldnt even be mentioned in same sentence with Ronnie and LS. You cant just listen to free bird and say yea they are average, nenxe knows what he is talking about, listen to the other songs.

    whats so good about zeppelin, i know stairway to heaven, right, nothing compared to these guys. Grand Funk better than zeppelin. RVZ simply the best, was 40 yrs ago, still today,. Nothing average about SKYNYRD.

  • @BWFSabian you dont know poop from scoop you tramp!

  • @BWFSabian woo!! wise words from a led zep fan..y

  • @BWFSabian i think both zepplin and skynard are amazing . it's just that both freebird and stairway to heaven are the most overrated songs in the history of man. a band's talent should not be judged on one song

  • @verbalengine95 Don't get me wrong, this is an anthemic tune. However, putting this band in the same sentence with Led Zeppelin, I believe, is sacreligious. This band can never be that great. I will always believe that.

  • @kja427 that's only your opinion

  • @BWFSabian shoulda define what's understood as "best" (and I never watch the videos labeled as "the best...ever"). Technics are different, use of resources are different, each band or musician has somethng different to give. As for me, Freebird has the ingredients in its right place. Not many songs can pull string in people as this song does.

  • @BWFSabian you never heard this song before a month ago? Are you 11?

  • @BWFSabian Zeppelin may be better, but every now and then you just have to blast freebird. And how can you not love that solo?

  • the best song ever.

  • I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this amazing edit :)

  • Yeah.............rock and roll!.x

  • As they take the arts from people in schools so that people can attend schools that they don't want to even go to, we may look back on these types of awesome musicians in an even greater light than we already do now~

  • 11 people think "dislike" means "like"

  • the bollocks great tune and vid love it

  • this song was huge when I was in High school.. the stoner dayz

  • @dillinger9999 this song will still be huge in 2100 :) 

  • Nice Job!!! It plays better at 360P for most of us but you done good!!

  • and thanks nenxe, appreciate the hard work

  • MrFishtaco567 for president :D

  • @TheJacketpotatoman thats clever

  • you did a good job i think. not fond of the pop up bubbles at the end, but i do understand the reason u added them.

  • good song man good song

  • AWESOME JOB NENXE, I wish i would have checked this out sooner!!! Your facts are right on the money, and thanks for adding those. I had a Skynyrd tribute band in 1979, and the very lead solo that Allen did on this video is what i always did in tribute to Allen and the band. Just yesterday i jammed along with that very song on my axe. I played in a blues band with Leon in 1995/6. He was the best bass guitar ever and an AWESOME FRIEND Thanks again nenxe from the bottom of my heart Himi J

  • Buahhhhhh,

    Vaya puto temazo..... A ver si se ponen las pilas los gilipollas de hoy día, y hacen música de verdad.

    Grandes Lynyrd Skinyrd!!!!

  • suck

    

  • The timing was and is great . Thank you for taking the time to do it

  • classic

  • that dude with the tank top is un-human on a guitar. he is fucking amazing.

  • My idols are Allen Collins & Ronnie Van Zant..they were the real musicians..and they knew what the music!

  • @GetzLac and i hope they are still rockin wherever they may be now... RVT, AC <3

  • yeah lynyrd skynyrd invented the real rock in roll!!!!

  • my best song ever

  • muito zica o solo!!

  • Comment removed

  • Total hairfest, still the best track in the universe

  • hey good job on this video! ^.^

  • This is one of THE ultimate rock anthems! If you love the original 70's band check out "The Skynyrd Experience" Yep a quality 9 piece UK based tribute.

  • Like it! Like IT?!! Where's the fucking always loved it button?? :P

  • Great syncing!!! I've only just discovered how good this band are but I like the how tight they are in order for you to sync the studio recording to a live recording. Although they're all obviously off their faces and having a good time, when a band know a song THAT well i bet they got sick of playing this one way every time. I'm in a band and regulary bollock the rest of the band for doing different things.

    Anywho, great stuff!!!!!

  • I honestly think God himself heard this song and thought sad as it is to take these rock legends from their loved ones i need them up in heaven for my own personal band and our loss was God's gain...............

  • if only there was bands that could still rock out like these guys

  • Great work man!!

  • God bless xxx Thank you for our gorgeous children - I'll look after them. RIP xxx
