The Sixties and Seventies Bands were true musicians, they fed off each other during their live performances! Thousands came together to live the experience. The bands reacted to the vibe like no other time! Thank you for your reaction to “Old Fashioned Rock” as it was during “the day”...

I can kinda see Steve, he didn't have enough time to show what he could do. I think he would have been in a category with SRV. I wish I knew what these guys did to piss off the idiots who nake up these lists. This is arguably greatist guitar solo of all time, masterfully woven in, Gary & Steve(Ed as well) do how can you have that honor and not be one of the best of all time. Makes no sense & some jokers made list that shouldn't be there at all. George Harrison whilr,ca great guitar player, shopped out while my guitar gently weeps to Clapton.

    In 1979 I was living in Nashville. Charlie Daniels had his Volunteer Jams at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium and a group of us to include some of my buddies from Jacksonville, Fla were listening that night to the live broadcast. There was no script to the Jam just whoever showed up played. Well we got knocked on our rear ends when the survivors of Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage unannounced. When they started Free Bird with no singing we all ran out of the house to our vehicles and turned the radios wide open. Then we sat there in silence while they played. No words can describe the feeling we had that night of hearing Free Bird for the first time without Ronnie Van Zant singing.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is one deep rabbit hole to go down, so much amazing music. Tuesday’s Gone, Ballad of Curtis Lowe and Simple Man are some excellent ones that I can listen to again and again.
    BTW, the bird is one of the guitarist 😉
    Stay safe and keep them coming 👍

"Ballad of Curtis Lowe" "Gimme Three Steps" "Simple Man" "Call Me The Breeze" "Tuesday's Gone" "Thing's Going On" "Gimme Back My Bullets" are all strong. Always 3 guitars, and always BLAZING!

And sweetie, the sound you heard, that sounded like a bird chirping was Gary Rossingtons slide on the strings of his guitar. Yes' he truly makes that sound on his guitar, and it's about being free, like a bird, flying. You have also witnessed what real music is, that comes from the soul. Not this shit they have out now, and of course' you do have your opinion about it, but' here where I live in North Carolina, which is parts of the South, we take our Southern hospitality and heritage serious. Btw' I absolutely love your accent, and you should try listening to the (Allmans Brother) southbound and soulshine. Sweetie, I promise you that you will be amazed by them.

    Wow! You did a Lynyrd Skynyrd song! This is what is known as "Southern Rock" from the Southland of USA. This song is actually a Rock Anthem in the South and throughout USA. Several members of this band were killed when their plane crashed into a Mississippi swamp. Lead singer Ronnie VanZant, Steve Gains (Guitar Player) his sister Cassie Gaines and pilots killed. Everyone else severely injured. In this video they were opening for the Rolling Stones. Notice the long black stage which is the tongue on the stones logo. Rule was they were not allowed to go out on the black part of the stage. They did it anyway and it really made Mick Jagger angry. Ronnie VanZant didnt care. It is said that Skynyrd stole the show and the Stones were not happy about that at all. This is the concert that put Skynyrd on the map. This is probably not the best song for you to react to. I can understand this not being your thing. Ronnie VanZant is like a God here in the South. He was a musical genius, wrote all of the songs and NEVER wrote the lyrics of the songs down. He said if a song was worth writing you didnt need to write the words down. As a young boy he would tell his father that he would die before he was 30...he died when he was 29. They have a lot of other songs you would probably like but if not thats cool too. Good Job Gitana!

    Lynyrd Skynyrd practically invented the triple lead guitar solo, lol. You need to listen to more of their music, it’s not all grand guitar solos, they have some great, great songs that I think you’ll like.
    Try these Skynyrd songs:
    Simple Man
    Tuesday’s Gone
    That Smell
    Gimmie Three Steps
    That’s a small sample of some great Lynyrd Skynyrd songs to choose from, I know you said they’re not your type of music you like, but give them another chance and open your mind to the world of southern rock.

    CLASSIC SOUTHERN ROCK.. It isn't for everyone. For me though, it's what i grew up on being from the southern US. The talent in this band at the time this concert took place is nothing less than phenomenal. The solo that went on forever was and still is a masterpiece that will never be duplicated. This band still tours today in some form some 56 years after forming and 43 years after the fateful plane crash in south Mississippi that claimed the lives of 6 people: pilot Walter McCreary, co-pilot William Gray, assistant road crew member Dean Kilpatrick, lead singer/founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and backing singer Cassie Gaines (brother/sister). This song is a classic but again, it isn't for everyone. But I would ask that you not write off Skynyrd after 1 tune. It's an acquired taste for some so dive deeper into their catalog of music. The more you do, the more you'll come to enjoy it. Well done.

So many people will simply go "not for me" and then proceed to dismiss the entire experience. But like I said, complete respect, for being able to complement the band overall and STILL say "hey, it just isn't my thing".

    I grew up with this stuff in the 70's...Skynyrd was one of my favorites (nothing against the post-crash lineup but I always preferred this band with Ronnie as the lyricist & lead singer, along with Steve & Cassie Gaines. Their music was very influential, and Classic Rock stations in the U.S. still play it regularly. They were still ascending as a band when the crash occurred, within just a short time after releasing their album Street Survivor. It's perfectly fine that it wasn't your thing...I agree that the live version of this can go on & on, that's just what bands did back then because that's what fans were demanding of live shows. Give some of their other music a go...they have a respectable catalog of good music!

  • @WhizzingFish12
    @WhizzingFish12 Před 3 lety +3

    "What is that weird sound, like a bird?!" I laughed at that. The song is FREEBIRD, lady! And it's Gary Rossington "chirping" the guitar with his slide. BTW, I so love the combo of Rossington, Collins, and Gaines. They were so complimentary. Gary was strongest at slow/mid-tempo "feeling" solos and a very underrated slide guitarist. Not flashy but clean and great tone and feeling. Collins was all flash and fire - how he played a solo like this so fast and for so long - his forearms must have been on fire! If you watch teaching channels, the riffs and runs on the solo are actually extremely difficult and technical, especially at speed. Finally, Steve Gaines was just coming into his own as a guitarist at the time of the plane crash was was really good as well - note how well he matches Allen at the end of the solo. When you think that they also had Ed King at the beginning of the band's time together, it's really crazy that so much guitar prowess was concentrated in one band. And Leon Wilkerson was no slouch on base either.

To this day go to any music venue in the states - especially where alcohol is available lol and near the end of the night someone will be requesting this song. Every rock, country or blues band has gotten that request. Also yes, the bird sound is from the guy playing the slide guitar. Dive deeper into southern rock. You won't be disappointed. Stay well and stay beautiful.

    Hey, just found your channel, from what I've seen you got a good genuine thing going on here and I dig it. For context I'm from North Carolina, and was raised on Skynyrd. They were my first concert when they played at the end of the Kyle Petty (Nascar driver) charity ride. Also for context im 30, I feel that is important as rock spans such a vast time span. With that said, this version was more for people like me that grew up on the songs. A not live version would give more focus on the lyrics and the meaning behind them, but this was pure, pre plane crash, Ronnie Van Zant (lead singer) Lynyrd Skynyrd. They named the band after their gym teacher...it causes some amount of confusion. But with this particular performance being so unique, I do not fault your criticism one bit. I would suggest, and I'm literally finding you today so apologies if it has been done, Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Specifically them, not the Shinedown cover. Anyways if you see this have a nice day.
