Then on October 4th and 6th the band will play at the St. Augustine Amphitheater in St. Augustine, Florida to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their debut album Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd. That album was released on August 13th, 1973 and contains “Free Bird,” “Tuesday’s Gone” and “Gimme Three Steps.”
