Freebird: The Movie

I bought this DVD three years back and the extra footage had an issue (maybe that was a PAL UK issue) but if you love Lynard Skynard tunes it's worth owning.

Don't look at this DVD as a movie but a chance to slightly peak into the world of a band taken before they reached their peak.

There are only 3-4 videos you could class as music videos but this is an era before that genre really existed so don't expected nicely edited music videos.

What I think you will see is the insight in a band that were a phenomenon, the interviews are brief but interesting, The band's music still captivates years later, technically they remain unsurpassed in many respects.

Skynyrd at the rawest and best. This film is a must for any Skynyrd fan. The interviews and home movies show that these guys weren't just rock 'n' roll gods.

I just watched "Freebird...The Movie" I recommend this movie to anyone who grew up in the late 70's. If you did and Lynyrd Skynyrd didn't touch your life in some way or another...check your pulse. I LOVED it, the live footage, the backstage footage, the personal footage all blended together to create a beautiful memorial to a band that hadn't even begun to scratch the surface of their musical power. I know I can speak for all L.S. fans "We Miss You"

Very good rockumentary showing some interviews but mostly footage of various concerts, most in color but some in b&w. All the bands' big hits were performed and I liked the way the camera made use of the close-up lens which allowed the viewer to catch all the action as though sitting in a front row seat. See this if you get a chance, it is hot.

Excellent!!! Triple guitar action at it's best.

When Ronnie died the band died. He's an American gem.

Don't listen to anyone who sez to play the album and get the same effect.

When you start watching them in England opening for the Rolling Stones you can tell that the crowd is only mildly interested. By the end they are rocking and then you hear that they booed the Stones when they came on because the crowd wanted more LS.

WOW!!!!

These guys are the greatest live band of all time.

Ronnie Rocks!

FREEBIRD!!!!!!
