Freebird... The Movie est un regard approfondi sur le groupe de rock sudiste Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Bob Harris presents a concert by the southern rockers, recorded in Shepherd's Bush, London for Old Grey Whistle Test on November 11th, 1975.

By the time Lynyrd Skynyrd played this sold-out show at San Francisco's Winterland ballroom on April 7th, 1975, they had become the unmistakable kings of Southern Rock. Spearheaded by charismatic frontman, Ronnie Van Zant, the group had taken southern boogie from the swamps and brought it to the masses. There is an enormous amount of energy and power in the multiple guitar mix of the band, and that is clearly apparent when they launch into solos on these songs. The group was coming off two hugely successful albums, its debut (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd) and 1974's Second Helping, and they had recently replaced original drummer Bob Burns with Artimus Pyle. It was recorded during the band's tour promoting their 1975 album, Nuthin' Fancy, and it features Lynyrd Skynyrd at the top of their game. It was also one of the last shows featuring their original three-guitar lineup, as Ed King left the band midway through the tour.

Lynyrd Skynyrd est un groupe de rock américain originaire de Jacksonville en Floride. Il est l'un des fondateurs, dans les années 1970, du rock sudiste, un style de rock influencé par la musique country et le blues provenant du Sud des États-Unis.

Salué pour sa narration chronologique parfaitement maîtrisée, ce documentaire, présenté au Festival South by Southwest 2018, passionnera à la fois fans et novices. Après ses films sur Scott Walker et les Rolling Stones, le réalisateur Stephen Kijak retrace l’histoire d'un groupe phare qui continue de déchaîner les passions, dans les pas de l’étoile filante Ronnie Van Zant.

A timid man with money problems gets into a big card game with some high-rollers.
