Live concert in Nashville, Tennessee (2003). It was during their Vicious Cycle Tour, and marked the band’s 30 years of rock ’n roll. “Free Bird“ was first featured on the band’s debut album in 1973. Released as a single in November 1974, it became the band’s second Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1975, where it peaked at #19. A live version of the song also reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977, peaking at #38. Free Bird also achieved the #3 spot on Guitar World’s 100 Greatest Guitar Solos. The lyrical portion of the song was written early in the group’s history. Roadie Billy Powell was discovered as a keyboardist for the band when he played the intro piece to “Free Bird“ at a high school prom. Lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant noted his talent and invited him to join. Allen Collins’s then-girlfriend, Kathy, whom he later married, asked him, “If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me?“ Colli
