@Joe - awesome show. BTW, My favorite LS song = "Simple Man", but I can't imagine you not playing "Freebird", because, well, Freebird. I need to find a lighter.

Apologies to all the great Southern rock bands I didn't get around to today: George Hatcher, Mose Jones, Garfeel Ruff, Oklahoma, Jackson Highway, etc., etc. etc. But I'm sure you'll all agree this song is worth it!

Allmans,while Duane was around; and Grateful Dead,while Pig Pen was around, were not southern rock at all. They were influenced much as the "brit-blues-rock"bands were. (as KP said!)

Brendan:

Heres some light (wiki)reading on the song while it plays , quoted from the founding Outlaw member Henry Paul,

"From what I gather, there was an album out, the best of The Rolling Stones, called 'High Tides and Green Grass.' That was the name of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits - this is like 1966 - and I think it was a manifestation of that title turned in reverse, 'Green Grass and High Tides.' I know that much. And I know that it was a song written for rock and roll illuminaries, from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix, and it had nothing to do with marijuana. But it had to do with, I think, a specific person's [Thomasson's] lyrical look at rock and roll legends. 'As kings and queens bow and play for you.' It's about Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. 'Castles of stone, soul and glory.' A lot of it is just sort of a collage of words that really don't have all that much to do with anything, they just fit and sounded right. But I have to say it's one of my favorite lyrics. My songwriting is more Steinbeck, really rooted in accuracy and reality; this is definitely Alice In Wonderland. It's the whole 'White Rabbit.' It's sort of like one of those magic lyrical moments that will forever be mysteriously, unclearly conceived."
