I put the angry emoji because it’s true. No matter what genre, how posh the venue, someone screams Freebird. Having several advanced degrees in sarcasm and applied smarta$$ery, we played it…well. Almost every wedding saw this song whipped out as the last song of the evening. There’s something about wearing formal attire and doing the solo battle.
It truly did become "a thing." Can't tell you how many times, or at how many different types of musical events, I've heard it. Heck, I've heard it yelled at a Dream Theater concert AND a Megadeth concert.I put the angry emoji because it’s true. No matter what genre, how posh the venue, someone screams Freebird.
And Brown Eyed Girl.I'm not sure what the issue is, between Free Bird and jamming on Moondance you can get through your first and last set with just 2 songs. Use La Grange for your middle set and you can complete any gig with 3 songs.
Haha!And here I was expecting a plug for Les’s grand daughter.
Holy crap! That's awesome!!!My granddaughter Omi (her nickname but literally the name she goes by) who just turned 10, is playing the role of Brigitta in a professional (Actors Equity) theater remake in Chicago.
The on topic question is...have you briefed Omi on what to do if someone shouts "Freebird!" during her show?Haha!

She's a talented child. I'm in awe of her.
Omi won't have to do a thing. My daughter's angry looks are like Tasers. Oh yes, I've been on the receiving end. And it doesn't take much. For example:The on topic question is...have you briefed Omi on what to do if someone shouts "Freebird!" during her show?
One of the worst, most repulsive, irritating songs ever written!!!
Yes, I understand that I am in the minority as far as this goes, but, I have NEVER liked the song, and I NEVER will. At 60, I have been in many situations over the years where this piece of music, for lack of a more vulgar term, has come on where I could not escape, and was forced to be tortured by it. It is the most boring, redundant, never ending, rock star posing piece of trash I have ever heard. and just to prove to you I’m not just picking on just this song, I feel the same way about basically all of Skynyrd’s stuff. does that make it better? LOL. But, to each his own, and onward we go!Well Helmi...your statement could be questioned...by many, I think??!! (IMHO, of course) . (...Or you really just don't like the song, which is cool, too )
Absolutely incorrect! People are posting Snirvana clips in another thread! That makes Freebird sound like a well oiled symphony orchestra playing Bach.One of the worst, most repulsive, irritating songs ever written!!!
