OK.To educational???
It's a pity that we don't make such free-flowing jam style songs any more (at least by well known musicians), or ones that feature a Hammond organ for that matter.For some reason, this has been in my head for a few days, even though I haven't heard it in years. A great tune to put on the cassette player when driving down the highway late at night.
It has become something of a humorous tradition for audience members at concerts to shout "Free Bird!" or "Play Free Bird!" as a request to hear the song, regardless of the performer or style of music. For example, during Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged in New York show, a shout-out for "Free Bird!" eventually resulted in a lyrically slurred, if short, rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama". In 2016, an attendee of a Bob Dylan concert in Berkeley, California shouted for "Free Bird" to be played, and Dylan and his band unexpectedly obliged.
I can testify to that article. Every bar I went to in Florida in the 80s - and there were quite a few - that had live music, someone would demand to hear "Free Bird" or "Stairway to Heaven"; not caring how difficult those are to do well.As we are talking about The Allman Brothers, I suppose it's a matter of time before some one posts this song which was dedicated to Duan Allman by Lynyrd Skynyyrd, so I decided to do it myself :
P.S.: I love the video as I get some 60s vibe from it, like the one you can feel when you watch the video of Woodstock or Monterey Pop Festival.
P.S.2: Yeah, I know there's an elephant in the room, or on the stage, to speak of it. Because that elephant somehow looks awfully like the Confederate flag, I understand that it may make some people uncomfortable. But maybe we can just enjoy the music without trying to find a reason to suspect their explanation that they don't actually endorse racism.
P.S.3: A fun trivia from an Wikipedia article:

A song by one of my favorite singers that I enjoyed listening to many years ago.
It could be from a movie, I just searched for the title on YouTube.Sorry if I sound confrontational, but are you sure it's Janis Joplin?
Nevermind, managed to found the source. It's a Bette Midler's song from the OST for a film about Janis Joplin.
