Spinal Tap goes South ..........2007-04-12

It's a Skynyrd DVD,so what's the first thing you do? Forward to Freebird, right? But good luck finding it, and worse you don't really get to see what you want to see. The DVD navigation is the worst I have ever seen; it's graphically frightening juxtaposition of shapes and bright red and blue, and of course NO SONGS are noted. Not to mention the unusually long intro self promotion of the production company. But it's a Skynyrd DVD, so of course FreeBird must be at the end, and it is. After staring at the violently nasty graphical interface I eventually figured it out. Finally I get to Freebird. It starts in the usual way with Ronnie wanting Billy to play it nice, etc. But when the solo comes, guess what we get to watch: THE AUDIENCE! Y'know I've seen the show from the cheap seats trying to figure out what's going on. Basically, the whole point of the DVD for most fans is to see Alan Collins in his prime soloing Freebird with the original band, and what you get is to see is a tribute to self indulgent bad production. It's hard to slam the band. They always put on a great show and the rest of the concert footage is okay ... but ... WTF! Basically this is slightly more sophisticated Rockumentary than Spinal Tap with mediocre footage, rescued by the fact that this one of the greatest bands of all history and that history does come through. Very dissappointing ...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird The Movie / Tribute Tour.......2007-04-12

Great Price! Worth every penny. A must have for Skynyrd fans.

5 Stars only because its Skynyrd............2007-02-23

I give this movie 3 stars for the audio, its horrible, the volume goes up and down all the time, dont understand that. One minute it sounds great and then volume drops to nothing and then goes up again. (very strange), very poor production and mixing, I thought the picture quality was fine, this is probably the only good footage of LS you will find, I dont understand why the other films of there shows are in B&W, whats up with that??? the music is great though as you look at gifted musicians at there peak, Ronnie Van Zandt was such a great singer, when he smiles you know his band is kicking it in... love the hat he wears... he was cool.
I will watch this over and over again, until other footage becomes available, doubt it though....

Excellent.......2006-11-03

Freebird The Movie is my all time favourite movie! I have watched it over and over. It shows the opriginal Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup doing what they do best. It is also very moving. The tribute tour is also excellent. I would most definitely recommend this DVD set to all of the Lynyrd Skynyrd fans out there!!!

Two Great Flicks for Skynyrd Fans .......2006-09-14

The most memorable experience of my three years at Tulane in New Orleans happened one state over, in Biloxi, Mississippi. I was able to attend the Lynyrd Skynyrd Reunion Tribute Tour concert that is the subject of the second documentary on this DVD. For a kid from Montreal, it was a dream come true to be able to see the greatest Southern band of all time (one of the greatest bands from anywhere, for that matter) in their native Southland. I'll always cherish the memory of that night and will be able to relive it thanks to the "Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Tour" documentary that is one of two included in this DVD.

But Skynyrd fans will probably enjoy the first documentary, "Freebird the Movie," more. In it, you get to see lots of archival footage of the original group with lots of full-length, uninterrupted scenes of them playing songs like "I Aint the One," "Searching," "Call Me the Breeze," "T for Texas," "Whiskey Rock-A-Roller," "Travellin' Man," "Sweet Home Alabama," and, of course, "Freebird," at various locations, including lots of scenes from their show at Knebworth Fair, England in August of 1976 where, it has been said, they blew the Rolling Stones (who appeared later that day) off the stage.

I can't imagine a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan being disappointed with this one!
