Well Freebird's not actually an instrumental.

Still it is one of the best songs of all time so i applaud you for that.

We used to play it, one time we played outside our HQ pub for my birthday and ended up playing for about 4 hours with only a short break, landlady asked us to finish because she’d already cashed up and wanted everyone to bugger off home, so I said “Ok, last song then” and we launched into Free Bird which lasted about 15 minutes
She’s not the landlady anymore, but whenever I see her she still gives me shit for it, that and the fact I climbed onto one of the benches outside to play a solo during one song

It was a birthday present from my Nephew and I promised him I’d wear it for the gig, I usually wear a metal band shirt or one of my many film related ones, this Saturday’s party gig will be the Dawn of the Dead one because he’s 60 and retiring so it’s a bit of a piss take on his behalf

And, he’s already requested bloody Caroline

You could always perform a different Quo song. All you need do is change the lyrics.

Two Elderly Men Escape Nursing Home, Go to Metal Festival]/Loudwire

Elderly men escape nursing home to go to Wacken metal festival | DW

"A German nursing home alerted police after they noticed two men were missing. They were later found at 3 a.m. at the Wacken Open Air metal festival.

Two elderly German men escaped the confines of their nursing home on Friday to attend Wacken Open Air, police said.

The nursing home alerted police after the gentlemen were found to be missing from the center.

Police then found the aging metalheads at 3 a.m. at Wacken Open Air, the world’s biggest heavy metal festival. A police spokeswoman said they were "disoriented and dazed."

The men were reluctant to leave the four-day festival so police escorted them home with the help of a taxi and a patrol car.

"They obviously liked the metal festival," police spokeswoman Merle Neufeld told public broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk. "The care home quickly organized a return transport after police picked them up."

The 29th edition of the legendary festival was fully sold out, with an expected 75,000 people expected to attend the four-day festival.

Headline acts this year include Danzig, Judas Priest, Hatebreed, In Flames, Running Wild, Arch Enemy, In Extremo and Eskimo Callboy.

The festival in Schleswig Holstein is often inundated with mud, but this year a heatwave saw organizers warn fans against fire and dust risks.

Police praised revelers this year for good behavior with little interference needed from police beside a few minor drug seizures."

I presumed it was Judas Priest.

I'm jealous. When the tickets went on sale I told myself I didn't want to go, then I saw the setlist and decided that I did, but at that point only the last couple of rows at the very back of the top tier were available so I left it.
