What Are You Listening To?

Free Bird was an absolute standard at student parties in Manchester when I was there -- though it was the punk era at the time so I obviously went to all the wrong parties.
 
Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young). Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Marakesh Express, Southern Cross...

I don't listen to much nowadays, but occasionally a song will do something to me and I will have to play it again and again. Babe, I'm gonna leave you, being one such recently.

Being in a band and having the audience yell out for us to play that song time and time again...it got pretty annoying.

Hilarious! I thought that was a regional thing (SE US), but it must of been really widespread! Thing is, It got to where nobody really expected to hear it - it became sort of ritualized; no night out was complete without the obligatory request for Free Bird :ROFLMAO:

I remember a guy on stage giving the middle finger, stepping to the mic, and saying, "I've got your free bird right here! Free bird for one and all. "

Back in the late 1980s, Kevin Matthews was a wacky Chicago DJ who started the whole craze of getting people to yell "Free Bird." It was originally meant to be shouted as a joke at really bad cover bands who played in bars. It soon took on a life of its own and it was yelled by drunken idiots at concerts all over the country.

My band wasn't even a cover band, and they still yelled it out. They were always the drunk ones.

Absolutely! I can still hear it in my head! I have some musician friends who were definitely not cover bands, either, but towards the end of the set - some idiot in the back:

"FREE BIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRDDDD!!!!!"

They never did. :ROFLMAO:
 
Played gigs for decades and whenever asked 'Do you play 'Freebird' ..I would reply
'Oh yes, but we only play it on Wednesday nights. ' 'it's Saturday'.
'We can do Bohemien Rhapsody in Reggae tonight if you want?'
....cue frowning punter....
 
Psychedelic music always gets my creative energies moving. I discovered this album back in the mid-1980s and to my ears, it's still the best.

 
Cool, I never heard of eleventh floor elevators. Obscure for sure because I know a lot of that stuff.

Instrumental psychedelia....Ozric Tentacles. More obscure than they should be. These guys could play.
