The Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 Tour was a tour in support of the band's first post-plane crash album Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991. The tour took place in the United States, Canada and Europe.
The first show of the tour, in Baton Rouge, was the first time the band had sung its classic anthem "Free Bird" since the 1977 plane crash, which had occurred as the band flew to a show in Baton Rouge. Ticket holders for that 1977 show were admitted free.
