    I got to hear FREE BIRD before it came out. They were working on their 2nd album. Cost $2.00, and seen a movie also. When I heard Free Bird I know it was one of the greatest song ever by one of the greatest bands ever. It still brings a tear to my eyes today. They really know how to kicked ass!!!!!

    If STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN is my rock anthem of the 70's, then FREE BIRD from "ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD" is the definition of GREATNESS!!...NOTHING TOPS IT..nowhere.
