Oh my God you are so right. Your comment hit me like a ton of bricks. They were the best days I wish we could go back no cell phones no computers. It’s pretty damn bad when you got to pay somebody to keep your identity. I love love love this song
Rickey Medlocke was truly a first class musician from the start! He was a initial conception seminole member of Skynyrd when they started recording as drummer. But with all that talent he was able get a top class status and kept his band Blackfoot successful. Train Train Highway song many others
Thank ya bro, I mean it though. What they call "Music" today isn't music to me. I'm an only child and during summer vacations when I was a kid my dad would take me on the road with him,and we listened to good music like this.Those were the best times of my life so I followed in his footsteps. We ended up losing him to cancer. I'm married now and have 2 kids,but they're too young to do the same with me right now, but it won't be long and I'll be passing the torch like my ol man did with me.
Love this song and brings back memories like a warm blanket. As far as the visuals go, I'm a Chevy guy, but those Mopars are such beautiful reminders of much better times. Happy New Year
The first Charger shown is the 70s incarnate...yeah, a simpler time, when vehicles (amongst a great many other things) had style and were easily discernible and not the homogenized, low rent clap trap of today
I hear ya! I'm a Chevy girl, but went thru a few cars before I got my '84 T-Top 5spd Camero. One of those cars was a '69 Dodge Cornette 4-40. First automatic transmission I ever bought. I loved it, and that car would fly. 😊✌️❤️🌼
Old hippie ! Wish I was back in 70's again .the best yrs of my life. Never forget them. They just don't play them on the radio anymore like they use to. ✌ peace out ! 🌻🌻🌹🌹
1978 I turned 16 and got my license. Dad bought me 1968 Dodge Charger and we'd cruise the back country roads drinkin & gettin high with this whole album blaring. life was still good.
Yeah those were the days back in the good old days drinking going down the Cape Town Yarmouth and also just partying for weekends join everybody's company without cell phones!!!!! We have to get social again it's not normal for us to be like thiswe are America where the strongest nation in the world we're going to conquer all bad coming in the next few years so look for the miracle happen it's going to happen soon God bless America and everybody in it.
I owned this music in album, 8 track cassette and cd. Don't regret having these albums always. They were the call to Southern rock after we lost Lynyrd Skynyrd. Love everything about this music.
I had all of them albums until someone broke in my house while I was at work and took my stereo and all my albums. I was very pissed and heart broken at the same time. Sorry for the language.
@@carolirvin9195 Life was simpler and so were engines! None of these stupid sensors and random bells and whistles to go wrong that totally stall you. Just raw power from a V8 that needed air, fuel and spark. If a problem came about, it was easily fixable.
2020 Still sounds so good. It makes me want to cry because we were so happy then. Everyone hates each other today, No true happiness allowed!!! Wish we could just go back to no cell phones etc. So much better off without them!!! You can have my phone right now and I wouldn't care because I'm hacked.
Cathy. You are exactly right... but never give in to the evil that distorts the truth. Fun, Love and Truth is still out here... somewhere. Sometimes you just have to make your own and let evil kick its own ass.
I hear ya Cathy iam with u 110 percent, no respect for each other no more, thugs , car jackers the problem is when they changed the law said u can't whack kid on ass no more now look what we got.
My father was ww2 marine military police officer in Korean War he was very strict i have 9 brothers and sisters lol but we all turned out good , I just pray for the not so fortunate ones that grew up with out dads and other situations, need help but can't get it from local and state authorities , God bless u Cathy
My Favorite song... ❌⭕❌⭕ I LOVE IT ·💙·❤·💙·❤··🇺🇸···· I Loved it ever since I was a little girl... hearing my Dad sing and play it with his band on weekends back in the day.. while my Mother danced, laughed, fed, and recorded the music on [cassette tapes!] (damn).. Wayy before I knew what Pot smelled like LOL!!.. Everyone brought their kids and we all hung out in the basement while the parents. "Jammed" upstairs.. Good times it was ...life was good, easy, fun with lots of laughter and love .. I miss it, so very much..
Blackfoot played at my high school in New Jersey in 1971...also used to see them at a bar next to a bowling alley...Danny's Hideaway....they did a cover of Free's ..All Right Now...which was awesome!!
Who’s with me Jamming to this Epic Southern Rock Song during Lockdown July 2020..??!! I was lucky enough to grow up in the 70’s in the South. Blackfoot was always in my tape deck while cruising the backroads in Muscle Cars.. Damn I miss the good ole days... American by birth.. Southern by the grace of go
This song right here reminds of driving down n highway 41 south of Elkwater Park to the Wildhorse border crossing down to Havre, Montana that is the sort of feeling that I get coming from this song as I listen to it!
Every time I listen to this tune, I think back to '74. Just got home from overseas and found a '70 Superbird on a used car lot. It took $1200 and I was rollin' in style. It had a 440, 3 deuces, 4 speed and a crazy driver! Used to make high speed runs on I-25 north of Denver!
From the south, Love the southern rock, And love them mopars! Actually still have my 1970 factory panther pink Dodge Charger l purchased for $650 bucks back in 1978. Now has a 5.7 hemi out of a 2007 Dodge truck. Best of both worlds. l crank up some "Highway songs" in that baby every chance l get. God bless and keep you'all.
Man Leroy, you are one of the FEW that actually kept your old musclecar. Good for you. I sold my 68 Charger and 74 Challenger back in the mid 80's. Will ALWAYS regret that.......
@@ct87gn25 Thank you brother! If this "virus-thing" and all the rioting calms down l hope to cruise Route 66 in the old Charger later this year from Chicago to the West Coast.
These songs just take me back to a wonderful place. The 70s and 80s were so laid back fun!! Bad ass cars, good drugs, and kick ass music. I'm class of 82!!
My brother who passed away two years ago had 68 my brother with friends and family worked on the car till it was almost ready. So his came home from Montana while his father in hospice at home and worked day and night on the car. It was finally ready and his son dad take for a ride my brother said no and I could see the pain in his sons eyes. So when his son left the room I said you have to take for a ride,he's been working his ass off so just to give you a little happiness. Well the next day my brother was flying high. He took it out and his daughter whom went with him said she never went so fast and my brother had the biggest smile on his face. Now that beautiful Dodge Charger is in Montana.
Great song and a GREAT subject matter, the great Dodge Charger!! Even has a couple Challengers mixed in. Ironic, as back in the early 80's I owned a 74 Challenger and later a 68 Charger R/T in hemi orange. Built 440 with 4.10 gears. That car was just about untouchable. The only guy that beat me was a guy with an LS6 Chevelle and a 71 Challenger 440 six pack car with a blue bottle. The Chevelle I raced beat me twice, both times by less then a fender as he always hooked up better then me. I later got some larger N5015's and we were dead even. Man I miss those days. Cruising with my friends, racing, picking up girls. ;) That time will never be repeated and I'm soooo glad I lived through it........
I was at the concert in the late 80s at the RIchfield Coloseum I was lucky enough to get back stage and take pictures of the band with there close friends I got to party with them thx for the great experience that I will never forget i would like to thank Sue Boehm from Columbus Ohio who had backstage passes where ever you are thanx
The most beautiful car ever made to date!!!! The Dodge Charger 1969 - who knows when. Very stylish that then was the ladies choice for a very long time!!!!!!!
1983 just turned 16, would listen to this song on a old high power Sanyo cassette stereo in my 66 AMC Rambler Rogue, heading home from working at the bowling alley. Great days...
I love this song. I had my only wreck and accident while this song was playing driving up a mountain in the pouring rain, going way too fast in the middle of the night driving a 1970's Falcon.
Johnny Gross my dad sit over there dreaming about getting his ole 409 back,an he did,then made the biggest mistake he still regrets an traded on a new 69 charger. Not he didn't like the R/T,he loved that 63 409.lol
Mopar was badass back in the day, with those mile long Chargers and Satellites. I was partial to the Goats of that era as well. Ghosts man, what great ghosts.
You just cant beat the 60's 70's and early 80's ROCK N ROLL God Blessed us all back then with Music that really had Heart Poured into it !!!!!!!! Miss being a Sound Engineer from those day's it was a Memorable Experience Tour Bus Runs and Early Rise for Set-Up and Sound Checks and late to Bed with a Good Joint and the Echo of the Tour Bus Engine purring me to sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can still close my Eye's and Hear It, and Feel It, I can still remember Cruisin Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Strip going up and down the Blvd. when I wasn't on Tour, I had the Top Down Jammin And Cruisin nothing else like it, The Good Ole Day's WHEN MUSIC WAS A WAY OF LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We Brits may have had some of the best bands ever. But the US sure has it where southern rock is concerned. Love this track, reminds me of freebird. Enough said.
Owned a 69 charger for over 30 yrs High school car, from Lackawanna NY.... only Drag Raced it.... maybe someone remembers it , Orange Peel ..... Match box made the toy car from my car back in 1982....

My big brother had a 69 ...383 Roadrunner. My cousin had a olds 442...they had a garage together that they built a 71 Vega with a 396 high rise two four barrels ran 10's in the 1/4. They both graduated 1974. I was in 5th grade and I Remember these songs riding with them. Going so fast down the roads...it was awesome.
.....I’m from Jacksonville, Florida , so is Blackfoot, but I lived in Hopatcong on the west side of the lake from 1970 until the summer of ‘79. I moved back home. Loved the people and the Borough of Hopatcong. I guess I loved the Florida Beaches more.😀🌞🐊🐚🇺🇸
That's what we got when the government started telling the automakers how to build cars. The government doesn't know how to run its own business but they want to tell the automakers how to run theirs...go figure
Nice tribute to the second generation of the Charger. I had an Orange '68 with a built 383 back in the 90's. I loved that car and I went through too many tires. I was born with a Pentastar birthmark on my heart.
Said it before. I'll say till i die. WE had the BEST music. BEST cars Best looking women. And they KNEW how to look sexy. Didn't realize at the time what a special time we were living in. Though it would last that way force forever. Now we wish it did. NEVER thought things would be this way. . Thank God we still have the music to take me back. Long live rock
My first car....69 Roadrunner 383 Magnum with Hurst and 4 speed. Paid $900 in 1973. I was 16. That car was way too much car for a 16 year old. Smoked a ton of weed and got laid in that thing. I wish I could go back but can't. Sure was great times. Best rock era ever.
