The Stones getting mad at Lynyrd Skynyrd because of this is like Hulk Hogan getting mad because the first match had a lot of stuff he couldn't do in ring....
The BEST solo version of "Organized chaos" from LS. Singling out each one you can hear such clean playing. I cant pick out the best but i have to give it to Allen.
A few critics in the past made the comment that Mr. Collins was a "sloppy" player. Well, this puts that to rest, along with the rest of the band. They were all in their early 20s when this was recorded. I have visitors from Germany that come to visit every year. One time I showed them this video and both of them said, "Ah yes, Musikhalle in Hamburg. Ya, Lynyrd Skynyrd...Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama. We know and like them too in Germany...."
You know what. My friends used to say the same thing like you and i dont give a f. Another crappy shit is your tasteless ears (their as well). Go listen to your morden music
@@trongkhoiduong2976 what are you talking about, kid? I love Skynyrd, and the Ed King era. If you can't hear how many clashes of poor harmony notes played in this live version, you have to be seriously tone deaf, soft lad. Don't try attempting lecturing on any kind of music to me, I'm a top muso! I'll bet you're crap on guitar, that's even if you play which I very much doubt.
That dissonance is what makes the fucking solo so amazing. The entire fucking appeal of Lynyrd Skynyrd's triple guitar attack is blending melodies and overlapping guitar licks. The entire reason the song is as great as it fucking is (and it truly is one of the greatest fucking songs ever written) is the same reason you found to dislike it. Boo you
@@Liam-fn8yl you're right there. But, this solo is all over the fucking show, re harmony with just the two soloing guitars. It's a fucking mess. Anyone with ears can tell that. I love early Skynyrd, but there's a reason why this live version never appeared on any recordings. It's far too non complimentary! Almost like they're just trying to outdo each other. It would have been much better if they'd let each other do their bit, back and forth, like. Boo you, too.
Arguably to greatest song with the greatest solo in Rock History.... Done by Allen Collins on a Gibson Firebird! And King and Rossington are no slouches either.....
I've always preferred the older versions. Especially, when it was just Allen and Gary doing it for a short while. ❤ This song started out as a small seed and grew into a towering Oak. Great to see good shots of Bob too! 🎉
Very interesting fact that the bands discipline was no doubt in stowed by Ronnie due to his no nonsense never give up drive. One could only guess where the whole thing would have led, he no doubt would have taken country charts as well due to its change, and it was said he was supposed to cut an album with Meril Haggard, and I believe another great one from the countryside. But it was his fierce drive that killed him, choosing to board a plane with known problems in order to keep the show rolling. I know he probably was told it would be ok, but I know I wouldn't have done it, if I'd had to rent a whole other plane Id paid the money to do so. It was what he was, in his own words, if it's your time it's your time, and evidently, his time was up....
Let's see. 1974? I was more of an Allman Bros fan at the time but it can't be denied that was a great performance. Back to the present day and I'm fascinated with their three guitar approach.
Although playing rhythm on this song, Gary Rossington's guitar was the signiture sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd !!! with his melodically gifted note bending sound and technique , his guitar was usually carrying the load in most of their best songs ,, Allen Collins was the fastest on the fret board for solos, and Ed King was an outstanding all around guitar 2 filling in and feeding off Collins acrobatics on the fretboard but Rossington was the main man and the Van Zant brothers knew this .
This version feels more chaotic with King's playing, but it gives it a more stand out sound, whereas woth Gaines, it sounds more polished, more cohesive. Each version is good in its own right
I think had the crash not happened Allen would’ve begun to separate from the pack (talent wise). He was a big Johnny Winter fan (hence the Firebird) and even this early (‘74) you can see Allen standing out. And with some Boxing training, weight gain and a haircut, eventually he could’ve whupped Ronnie 😆🤣
