All repeated from 2+ yrs ago. The BEST without doubt session is Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, absolutely awsome, and very poignant as about 4 months after that show, half of 'em died in a plane crash

The plane crash was caused because they suffered from dyslexia and one of them couldn't read the sign over the door that said "Don't open while the plane is flying".

No, the crash was attributed to the band freebasing cocaine whilst smashed on alcohol, the pilot included.
