      Rachel S this is Jeff Yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp, exbiker, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Era veteran, and I agree with your comments about lynrd skynrd 💯 percent and I'm thinking that the popularity still of most of the Southern Rock band s is still due to their pro American attitudes and older and newer fans they have who embrace and accept and adopt those pro American attitudes and I'm thinking 💭 all the venues where either the stars and bars flag (rebel flag ) and the American (red white and blue)flag,may both be hung side by side as a backdrop for the big name Southern Rock bands that are still touring around this country and beyond

      The instrumentals are good, but compared to the original Lynyrd Skynrd with Ronnie Vant Zant, well, it just doesn't quite measure up, but to be fair, I'll give these guys credit for continuing their legacy and for their performance, which was good, but watch their original performance here on you tube, when they performed Freebird on 7/2/77 @ the Oakland coliseum. It shows what an awesome band they use to be.

    I first discovered/heard Freebird when I went over to the U S on a training course for United States Surgical Corporation. It was 1978 the year my first son was born. Although the song had been released a couple of years earlier it was getting a lot of plays on American radio. It became my favourite song and still remains to this day one of the most played tracks. My second son was born 4 years later in 1982. Tragically he died on 13th July 2018 so now every time I play Freebird I imagine Andrew flying free as a bird, free from the depression and anxiety that caused him to take his own life.

    I could watch this 500 times and it still gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Probably the best Rock and Roll song of all time. Never forget seeing them live in Hershey PA. A former co-worker of mine was like a second dad to me and the only thing he told me was to get ready because he had a surprise for me. When we got to Hershey a bunch of cars were blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd and I got so excited. Rich and I went to a bunch of shows together. He passed away a couple of years ago. R.I.P. Rich. I'll always cherish the memories!

    After all these years, cameraman STILL ignore the bass player on this song.
    Skynyrd’s original bassist, Leon Wilkinson absolutely drove this song. And his building riffs brought the electric solos to an awesome climax. Our band would always end shows with Free Bird. As the bassist, our lead singer & lead guitar player once told me that the BASS is really what makes this song great.

      Unfortunately, the Skynyrd bassist did not want to be filmed. Second, it is not up to the cameramen to set up shots. That is the director's job in the control room. When one camera is hot, he would be setting up shots he wanted then directed the engineer to switch to what ever cam he called out.
