One More from the Road (styled as One More For From The Road) is a live album by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, capturing three shows recorded in July 1976 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 1974 Lynyrd Skynyrd had supported rock promoter Alex Cooley so that the theatre could be saved from demolition. This record was the band's first live album, and the only live album released during the band's classic era of 1970 to 1977, prior to the plane crash that killed lead singer and songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backing singer Cassie Gaines. The album was released in September 1976. It was certified gold by the RIAA on October 26, 1976, platinum on December 30, 1976 and 3× platinum on July 21, 1987.[4]
The original 14 tracks include a cover of Jimmie Rodgers' "T for Texas" and an 11:30 version of "Free Bird".[5]
The first CD release, in 1986, was a single disc omitting two tracks, "T For Texas" and "Travelin' Man", due to time constraints. The second CD release, in 1996, was a two-disc set with all 14 songs plus three bonus tracks: "Sweet Home Alabama", "Gimme Back My Bullets" and "Simple Man". The two-disc set put the tracks in the order of appearance of the original concert.
The deluxe edition, released in 2001, was remixed entirely, remastered, and, aside from the undubbed version of Free Bird (which was released here for the first time),contained additional performances from the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The overdubbed version of Free Bird (which was part of the original release) was moved to the bonus tracks on disc 2. The bonus tracks are also available separately on a "Rarities Edition".
The live version of "Sweet Home Alabama" from this album was used as a track on the music rhythm video games Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades.
