Lynyrd Skynyard: Freebird

Amazing Musical Facts:

This one can literally blow you away. Just out of camera, at the front of the stage is a giant wind machine.Look at peoples hair.I first became aware of this song whilst pretending to be a Gasman at Leeds Poly dances during the late 1970's. This version is more than 9 minutes long. Each year on August 1st people through out the world compete to see how much of something they can do during those 9 minutes. A man called Paul Crane, who had previously been an artificial limb technician at Chapel Allerton Hospital in Leeds drank 12 pints of Tetley's Bitter (not recommended). This was after he had returned from a 6 month stint in the desert repairing oil pipelines in Libya. I use the record to time myself cleaning the front room on a Sunday morning. Not really Rock and Roll.(Truth Content 0%)
