I happen to actually like the song but no one ever plays it live because its such a cliche. Uh, we do play it, every night - the live version with me playing the piano intro. I even do a really pretty high piano solo later. Our audiences love it every time, but we don't do it cheez whiz style - we really play the heck out of it and our lead guitarist is a master at playing clean and fast. Anybody can slop it along and done badly Freebird is just a stale joke like it is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackwatch Posted June 20, 2006 Members Share Posted June 20, 2006 I used to play an acoustic version of STH when I was doing covers. People loved it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 I, both solo and w/ my trio, do both Freebird and Stairway several times a week, but never like the recordings, which is probably why I/we get so many requests for those two... Cover tunes from a unique perspective go over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beachbum Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Great classic song, Freebird. I hope every future generation keeps liking it. I can always count on someone in the crowd near the end of the night to yell "Freebird". Never gets old for me playing it because the crowd always moves to beat and they usually sing it too. Good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eye_Of_The_Liger Posted June 24, 2006 Members Share Posted June 24, 2006 Best response to IFR* I've heard: "Wanna hear some Freebird? Ok here we go, ONE TWO THREE FOUR!" Band plays really fast punk rock beat for about 2 seconds and then stops and yells, "FREEBIRD!" Ahh, you had to be there.. *Ironic Freebird Request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
