highly recommended

But this one (specially free bird the movie) is worth buying, for the simple reason that it is the REAL skynyrd members.

The only thing that dissapoints me is when they play my favorite all time song "SWEET HOME ALABAMA", the camera guy I think had a crush with one of the back up singers, because in most part of the song you can only see them singing. What a waste!!

Doesn't get better than this...

I would have paid $100 for this DVD 10 or 20 years ago...the performances are classic. In addition you are allowed to see modern Skynyrd behind the scenes. I grew up thinking that these guys were larger than life, but when viewing them on screen humanizes them. The price is right and to see these guys in their vintage days and then see them today is a valuable opportunity.


Incredible

This DVD is an absolute treasure. I'd pay a lot more than 12 bucks for the joy of seeing the original band performing 15 songs. Some of the audio/video quality and camera work are sub-par, but overall I was pleasantly surprised. I wish there was more footage available, but be thankful we at least have this. They were so talented, such a kick-ass band. It's mesmerizing, and for anyone who grew up in the 70's, it will get you choked up. The Tribute Tour stuff is worth watching too, as JVZ does a pretty respectable job honoring his brother, and it's nice to see Gary Rossington still rocking. But the real treat is obviously the first half of the disc, where we get to see the original Skynyrd in all their glory, for almost two hours. An essential piece of any concert DVD collection.

T for Texas

It took me about ten years to lay my hands on a copy of Freebird The Movie, this DVD. And then -after listening to their music and playing it myself for so long- I saw the men in action for the first time...waw. One of the reviewers said it made him/her feel the simplicity of those days once again. And maybe that was what touched me deeply, and does even now after watching it so often. Though I have to admit, it took me a little time to get down to the speed of those days. It reminded me just how used I had gotten to all the glitter and glamour of modern performances. It just ain't there. Here are a couple of guys playing great music. No jumpin' up and down, no 100 dancers on stage, no million dollar show, no b...t that takes your attention of what music is about: a piece of your soul.

Yes boys,

Mr. Young is putting you down again.

_____________________________________________________________

A 1 trick pony, written clearly when they were pissed off at Neil Young about some of his lyrics.
Perhaps someone should have pissed them off more often then they might have had more hits. That is if the good ole boys could remember to fill up the gas (!!!).
If it wasn't for the movie `Almost Famous' I would never have known they had a 2nd good song "Simple kind of man".
So that puts them up there alongside with KISS.
I thought this was going to be a goldmine like `The Allman Brothers Band'.
But unfortunately,
ABSOLUTELY NOT (!!!).
Two stars, 1 for each song.
However I do recognize that these are very special people.
And special people should always be encouraged!!!
So 1 star extra for being so special.................................
