This is kind of an odd one, but what the heck:
A few years back I remember seeing the current line-up of Skynyrd(Johnny Van Zant on vocals) performing FREE BIRD on TV(it was probably VH1 but I'm not 100% sure). I'm not sure if was for the RnR Hall Of Fame or an awards show or benefit or tribute or what, but I distinctly remember one thing:
After the first verse of the song when it goes back to the slide guitar riff, instead of just the one guitar(Gary Rossington) playing it, there was a 2nd guitar playing slide as well doing the harmony of the original riff(I guess it was one of the other 2 guitarists in the band or a guest or something) & I just remember it sounding awesome.
Now, for some reason, years later I think it would be cool to hear again, so I go onto youtube, but I can't find one single live version of Free Bird where they do that!! Did I imagine it?? It seems bizarre that they would do this 2 part harmony one time & never again! It makes me think that maybe there were special guests involved or maybe Johnny & Gary were the guests for another band?? Hopefully some diehards can help me out & prove me right or wrong!
Thanks,
