Much like Stairway to Heaven and Smoke on the Water, Freebird is a great song that got WAY overplayed over the years. I haven't played in a band in many years, but I always wanted to learn Freebird, like really do the song justice, so when some idiots start yelling it the band could bust into a rockin' 20+ minute version just to see the looks on their faces.
If you actually did it half the crowd would walk off. I would. Talk about a broken record. I'm all for long jams, but after the 5000th time on the classic rock station I'm over it.
