Customer Reviews
Terrible Sound Quality
However the sound quality on this CD is just horrible. Freebird The Movie is a great movie to watch. There is no stereo separation at all between the instruments. Whoever put this on CD obviously didn't take much time to mix it. If you're a Skynyrd fan, the only reason you should buy this CD is to have live versions of That Smell and What's Your Name. The rest of the songs are available on One More From The Road and have pretty much the same arrangements with much better sound quality.

"Freebirds" fly on...
It shows just how powerful and majestic they were as a live band prior to their October 1977 plane crash. For anyone that is just getting into Lynyrd Skynyrd, or for the established fans, this CD is a must have. This was recorded at the Knebworth festival in England, 1976. By all accounts, Skynyrd stole the show from headliners Rolling Stones. Ronnie VanZant was the heart of Skynyrd. Vocalist, lyricist, and band leader, Ronnie was a country singer fronting a rock band. Gary Rossington and Allen Collins were masters of their instruments, and with the recent addition of Steve Gaines (stepping in to take the vacated spot of Ed King) on guitar, solidified their reputation as the "three guitar army. " Leon Wilkenson was one of the most creative bass players ever, and Artimus Pyle on drums provided the strong and steady beat to this soundtrack. Billy Powell rounds out the sound with his touch on the keyboards, from the beautifully melodic "Freebird" (recorded in July 1977 in Oakland) to some excellent barroom boogie on "Whiskey Rock-a-roller. " As far as some of the other "live" albums put out by various artists (most are doctored in the studio with crowd noise mixed in) this is a legitimate live album. I would also recommend getting the "Freebird" DVD to see just what I am talking about. This is a band whose career was cut far too short. It is a shame that they have yet to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as this was a band that was made up of solid musicians. A must have!!!! .

Great music, lousy sound
In some places the sound levels swell up like a narcoleptic's lurch back to consciousness and then recede just as suddenly. I agree with the other reviewer who noticed the poor sound. This record's also comparable to Grand Funk's Live Album in its hamfisted intrusion of crowd cheers. Couldn't a major label do better?.
