  • I had several mixed feelings about putting this up. I hope you enjoy watching regardless Fam. xoxo
  • Someone who gets tears in his eyes while hearing music like this has his heart in the right place, Mo. ❤️

    This reaction is, PRICELESS. This is the power of music. Will be happy when I get to the other side, and can see Allen, Billy, Steve, Ed, Ronnie, Leon, and the rest of the crew live again.

    I was at this Concert on July 2, 1977 in Oakland. I was fortunate to have seen the original band before the horrific crash on October 20, 1977. Incredible Show!! RIP to Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, the road manager and pilots!! Lynyrd Skynyrd's music will never die!!

    RIP to all the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. You will forever be in my heart! ❤❤

    If a piece of art evokes an emotional reaction than it's mission accomplished on the part of the artist. Never apologize for being moved by a piece of music. That said, I know some of those tears were because you wish you could have been at that show 🙂

    I was there on July 2, 1977. I lived about 45 minutes from the Oakland Coliseum. I was 17 years old and just graduated from high school. I will never forget that concert. Loved going to those Day on the Greens where you can watch two or three great bands for $11 bucks. Most people in that crowd are now grandparents and great grandparents. Loved your reaction ❤

    FYI : In the South and for many years after the plane crash, you could go into any Bar or Club that had a Live Band and before the night was through, someone would stand up in there chair and yell at the band, " Play Free Bird ".
  • One of THE greatest live rock performances of all time, and one of THE greatest live rock bands ever. They played with heart, soul, passion and energy, and gave everything they had every time they walked out onto a stage. They're part of what makes Classic Rock and Southern Rock so indelible. Sadly, Gary Rossington (slide guitar) is the only surviving member of the band's original lineup. To all those incredible musicians who've gone ahead of us - we'll see you all on the other side. Until then - RIP.
  • One of the greatest bands of all time. So many great songs, check out, Call me the breeze, Tuesdays gone, Simple man, and I need you just to name a few.
  • You just experienced a song which, in my part of the world, is an anthem. Do not ever beat yourself up about showing emotion. I am a 67 year old Marine [retired]. More than one piece of music brings me to tears. If it moves you, the song/performers are good. Let the emotion out - it cleanses your soul. RIP, boys.
  • You by FAR HAD THE BEST REACTION. GIRL IM CRYING WITH YOU. They're so darn humble, after that, just a simple bow and walk off. Love your reaction. You are no longer the same person you were,before watching this. If this band only knew that one day , years and years later people of every age and nationality would love them. If they only knew and YES SKYNRD we remember you.

    Jeez, I'm a 62 year old man, and I had tears along with you, and though ( I love music) I have listened to millions of songs, many have moved me to almost tears, I hate people to see me cry over songs, so I tend to hold them in, but you moved me on this one, absolutely loved your reaction, thank you.
  • I've watched a lot of reactions to this song & I don't remember seeing anyone go on an emotional roller coaster like this. I was wishing I could hug you & wondering why the tears were there. I really enjoy your channel, stay true to yourself. 👍✌️❤️
  • This live version of this song…is simply epic. Nice react. Glad it moved you. That’s what music is supposed to do. 6:35 that crowd knew what was coming.
  • @redroads4598
    I was there, 16 years old. We had no idea that Ronnie would be gone in a few months. We did know it was a special day, we lived in such an amazing era. RIP thanks for all the great music and memories that I am sharing with my grandkids. Legends!
  • @waynecox2440
    I love seeing the raw emotion you display. Never apologize for showing your true self.
  • Everyone talks about the guitar solo at the end by Allen Collins but the part that always gets me is the slide work in the first half of the song by Gary Rossington. Just beautiful
  • @louisesblues
    Gotta say, there are times when I hear Billy Powell play the piano, I have the same reaction. Billy has left us, but his playing will live on forever!!
