I've never seen the Artimus Pyle Band live, but a quick search...and I'm going to guess Chuck Berry's "Maybellene".

The prelude into the above song seems like it incorporates a bit of that "The Final Flight of the Freebird". I hear some "Cry for the Badman" too in the beginning of the actual song .

Gotcha!
The song is not a Skynyrd song.
Keep in mind this is Artimus number one signature song folks! How well do we know Artimus around here? Am I the only one? I spent nearly 25 years around him and his family so this one song is the one I have noticed he carries forward into various bands of his... sometimes even breaking out singing and playing it by himself on drums.
It is one he has released...

I saw Artimus twice and do not recall him playing a non Skynyrd song.

That's because you saw him playing with his Skynyrd tribute band. That is a different story... but if you go back over this thread there are some clues to when he played this song and what the conditions were...

I got to know Artimus when he was going through the false charges filed by his ex, which by the way I talked to Artimus about and found out finally how he met her. He said he and band were at the Starwood amplitheater and there was this 2 person group going around trying to interview band members and one person held a microphone and one person held the camera. A man was on the camera and a woman was behind the mic and the man was wearing an MTV hat indicating they were there on behalf of MTV which was a lie and fraud.'
He said the group had already interviewed several band members and so Artimus assumed they were legitimate, and he talked to them as well and this is how he met Angela holding the microphone for a false MTV crew.
Anyway, I was around Artimus when the false charges were filed against him and I watched him suffer the consequences for years after years of different APB bands. So many of them I can't count them all- Fenwicks, Mood Food, Truth, Those Guys and more... Tribalotomy too.
And it seemed like his whole world was upside down and he played and performed this song as if it were a release or therapeutic for him to do it. To let out his anger and frustration in a song that would become his own signature theme song during the hard times he was facing back then.
I personally witnessed him roll into this song more times than I can count.
It is the only song from his first two solo albums that followed him into later bands.

If you look at the credits on the above album, Artimus was basically giving it all away same as he did in Skynyrd.
If the album sold millions of copies the people listed as songwriters above could actually get paid more money than Artimus because his name is not on all those songs.
And, we should all notice the album was produced by the Marshall Tucker Band members!

'My Whole World is Upside Down' And we have a winner!~ So how did you figure it out JG? I pulled a list of his albums up so I could look at the songs listed starting with the first album. 'My Whole World is Upside Down' made sense his world got turned upside down once he left Skynyrd and his ex decided to destroy him.
