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.

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"

A very good look into the original lineup of Lynyrd Skynyrd, or now known as "The Encore From Hell" by Spin magazine. Anyways, this shows some scenes of the last performances done by the band before their plane crash in 1977. As well as some of their older performances. The band recalls events while they were touring, and recording albums. This has some pretty classic performances in it, but it's not really anything to get excited about. The ending is a little sad, showing moments caught on camera of the take off just an hour or 2 before their 1977 plane crash, that killed Steve and Cassie Gaines, and Ronnie Van Zant.

This must be the best live show ever recorded on film. Not only do the music kick a.., but the honesty and passion for music is fantastic. If you haven't already seen the film, you've missed out something big!! This film you've got to own!"Freebird", "Sweet Home.." and "T For Texas" are all here, and an astonishing version of "Cry For The Bad Man" as well.The film quality is remarkably good, and so is the sound. It's a shame that the film is so hard to get, and that it's looks like it's gonna stay that way.So people, call your neighbors, friends and enemies, and get your hands on a copy of this Masterpiece.
