We were at the Cambridge Corn Exchange to see Dr Feelgood and the Max Hatcher Band
As usual the support band went off stage and the road crew started moving the main acts equipment forward
Then the stage lights came on and both bands came up on stage and anounced the breaking news of the Lynurd Skynyrd air crash
Both bands then stood quietly on stage while they played Freebird
There was not a dry eye in the house and the song and its lyrics have always had a special meaning since then
