One More From the Road is a live album by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. It marked the band's first live album, and the only live album from the so-called "classic" era of the band (1970-1977) prior to the plane crash that killed lead singer/songwriter Ronnie Van Zant as well as band members Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines. Known to be a great live band, Lynyrd Skynyrd released One More From the Road in September of 1976 (see 1976 in music), just after the release of their fourth album, Gimme Back My Bullets.

The 14 tracks include a cover of Jimmy Rodgers' "T For Texas" and a 13:40 version of "Free Bird".

The Deluxe Edition, released in 2001, is thoroughly remastered and contains additional performances from the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.

[edit] Remaster differences

The 2001 remaster of this album slightly changed some of the "original" recordings. In addition to the audience tracks being "beefed up" and a new mix being done to every track, many of the obvious overdubs were corrected and removed from the tracks, along with the album being resequenced into the correct set list order.

Here are some of the changes:

  • Workin' for MCA
    • The opening to Workin' for MCA on the original cut featured just Rossington's guitar performing the solo somewhat off-beat while Allen Collins played the main riff with Steve Gaines. The remaster has removed the overdubbed guitar off of Collin's part to reveal the dual lead at the beginning.
    • Also removed is the slight delay put behind Gaines' solo mid-way through the song. The EQ on the solo has been changed somewhat to make the solo blend more with the rest of the band. It is likely that Gaines redubbed this solo using his Fender Twin amp rather than his Peavey Mace.
  • I Ain't the One
    • There seems to be some additional dubbing to cover up Rossington's beginning mistake on the main riff just as Van Zant ad-libs "Let's pick it up!"
  • Saturday Night Special
    • Various overdubbs on Rossington's solos were removed.
  • The Needle and the Spoon
    • Some slight re-arranging of instruments. Gaines' guitar is now in between right and center while Rossington is panned dead right, whereas before it was the opposite.
  • Gimme Three Steps
    • The audio of Gaines tuning his guitar in between songs was removed.
  • T for Texas
    • A slightly evident overdub on Collin's guitar is still present
  • Sweet Home Alabama
    • The delay present behind Gaines' final solo on the song has been dramatically reduced, most likely by increasing the crowd noise.
  • Crossroads
    • The overdubs on Collin's solos are still present.
  • Freebird
    • Collin's overdubbed solo was removed and the original live take is heard.
