As Richie Haven's set neared its end, the next performer was nowhere to be found, which forced him to do encores with Beatles hits such as “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Hey Jude”.
With pressures mounting, he began to play an impromptu groove, uttering the word “freedom” as it was the first thing that came to his mind, supplementing the lyrics with a few lines from the traditional song, “Motherless Child” .

According to him (via Songfacts): “When you hear me play that long intro, it’s me stalling. I was thinking, ‘What the hell am I going to sing?’ I think the word ‘freedom’ came out of my mouth because I saw it in front of me. I saw the freedom that we were looking for. And every person was sharing it, and so that word came out.”
