> [@DeepPurple](#): > > I do believe _Free Bird_ is the greatest song ever put to vinyl, and Rossington’s slide guitar is a big part of the song. Aside: has anyone heard that Frankenstein’s Monster version, where it is the studio version for 90% of it, then it cuts (poorly, I might add) to some live version (not the “One More From the Road” version, from what I can tell)? I want to shoot my radio when I hear it. Might call my radio station and complain like a proper old man instead. Live version is better IMO anyway. “Play it pretty for Atlanta” and the dueling guitar solos (duet?). I might have worn out my brother’s Side 4 LP. ---

That reminds me of the Wilford Brimley Cocoon line. Remember the movie Cocoon when a bunch of old farts got invigorated by swimming in a pool with alien cocoon? Wilford Brimley seemed really old then. He was 50 IRL when that movie was released. ---
