Long Riders of Southern Rock.

I got inspired after playing Rock Band and the great "Green Grass and High Tides", to make a list of the best long lasting Southern Rock songs. You know the kind that last 8+ minutes and contains at least 50% guitar solos :)

Off the top of my head, there is 4 songs that sticks out. First in line is the band that got me hooked on Southern Rock.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird - Live 1977

You can also see the song live on BBC here.

Blackfoot - Highway Song - Live in Zurich 1982


Molly Hatchet - Fall Of The Peacemaker - Live

You can hear an Acoustic version here

The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides

You can hear an 18 min. Live version here : Part 1 & Part 2

That's my pick.

Do you think I've missed anyone obvious or do you know of any hidden gems out there? Leave a commment and let me know of your favourites.
