Free Bird is a song by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant, and performed by the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd.
A staple at concerts for many decades is to shout "Play Free Bird" as a joke, likely due to the song's length. In 2006, Tally Hall would learn the song note-by-note for their live concerts because people love shouting it out and they wanted to "teach them a lesson."[1] Tally Hall would perform Free Bird usually at the beginning or in the encore of a concert from 2006 to 2009, but was retired from the setlist for unknown reasons.
