I’ve always wondered if (1) They always played the solo way each way, and (2) if anybody would notice if the solo went wierd and different one time.

One of the two songs you’re not allowed to play in guitar stores.

Understandable. Whats the other?
Ive seen some interesting reactions to audience requests for Free Bird over the years.

I’ve never heard the song. Yes, that is true.
Unless I heard it and didn’t know the name.
To: Paladin2
Probably the most overrated overplayed song on the radio.

Drunken audience requests for FREE BIRD! have been a staple at rock shows for 4 decades, at non-Lynyrd Skynyrd shows. Said requests are typically not well received.
Realize the song was heavily over-played on radio in the late 70s.

Drunken audience requests for FREE BIRD! have been a staple at rock shows for 4 decades... The song that has burnt more thumbs with cheap lighters than any other.
To: VastRWCon
Lots of overplayed songs much worse than lynyrd skynyrd. Micheal Jacksons beat it for starters....

Overplayed but undeniably great. And that ultra juicy stratocaster tone — truly epic.
To: ShadowAce
Overplayed in the stores. Imagine every kid that wants a guitar and tries their favorite. Then imagine the guys behind the counter hearing the same bit every day...

Never “got” Free Bird.
Except in “Adventure”.
