A good friend of mine opened for mountain and a big fight occurred because management told my buddy and there band to continue to play and Leslie and his boys got pissed and ran up on the stage and started yanking cords ! My buddy said he saved Leslie's life because his bass player was about to play sweet head music to the back of Leslie's head with his bass guitar !! This is old school when this happened because Charlie Daniels had my friend and his band on the road with him at that time ! This happened in the 70's !! Crazy story but true !!
Ricky Medlock could play a One string Banjo and I sit down and listen all day and all night and just however long he wanted to jam😅 Sure wished Uncle Shorty Medlock was still with us. I loved watching him and Ricky 😅
They did a great job! However , I saw the original " Blackfoot " in the early 80's. They were incredible ! Glad these guys are paying tribute. Young folks missed out . They opened up for " Nazareth". 10 bucks two bands. I lived! Peace
Cool! Welcome! Thanks for listening! I've got more of them on my channel too! My favorite radio station is Planet Rock Radio from there. Listening everyday!! 🤘
I grew up a metal head but when I was in college in 84, a guy in my dorm was a big Blackfoot fan, which got me into Blackfoot which lead me to the Outlaws, Molly Hatchett, Allman Brothers, Skynyrd etc. Great times. Am still a metal head 1st, but now my musical tastes run to a little bit of everything.
Ricky and his band are off the chain . From what I read he wasn't included when Skynyrd was inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame . He deserves better than that .Go Ricky . I love your music .
My theme song, have lived my life on the edge, but i made it through, i believe because I couldn't had a praying momma. I dont regret anything except the time I was separated from from my daughter. I lost it, i saw how dirty DSS can be, i tried my best, god has worked miracles in mtnlife, but when I hear this song it tskes me right back to the 80s and 90s.
It’s been 44 years since I first went to a show in the OMNI and heard Ricky Medlock torch the place. I’ve enjoyed his playing since I was a 14 year old….
Time to nominate Blackfoot to the rock and roll hall of fame and the rest of the foot Stooping brothers,molly hatchet, the outlaws, mashal tucker band.lets form the coalition to get it done!😊😊🎉😂😂😂❤😊
Unfortunately I missed this show. Had the pleasure of watching Buddy Guy, Corey Stevens, the Hoop Snakes, Lamont Cranston, Delbert McClinton, and other greats play that Medina Ballroom stage.
I've always preferred Blackfoot over Skynyrd. There's something special with that trio of studio albums, Strikes, Tomcattin and Marauder. I luckily saw Blackfoot on the UK leg of the Marauder tour.
Great song and happy that Rickey is out there keeping it alive! I prefer the longer/original version with the extended solos, but I assume he had a long set list and needed to shorten some songs to play them all.
Actually, when I saw a tech come out to help him switch guitars, I thought the same thing, but that's when the song kicks into high gear. I thought he was going into another song, so I quit recording, but no, it was the incredible finish! Aarrgghh,! 😫
Yes it was a long set list, but he did actually play the song in it's entirety, they just decided to play Train, Train in between the first and second half of Highway Song. It was kind of odd but still great.
@@zachwalentiny It bummed me out that on Highway Song,when I saw the guitar tech come out & switch guitars with Rickey, I thought that they were going into a totally different song. ☹️🙄😫
What happened to the guitar solo in this song !! I remember seeing them in the late 70’s in Baltimore they played this song and Train Train it lit the building up !! Southern Rock has a great sound but it also has driving guitars !! I bought Strikes when it came out !!
I wasn't sure they were going to do it, & when the guitar tech came out & switched guitars with Rickey, I thought they were going into a different song. ☹️😢 They killed it as you would imagine!
That was my fault, When I saw Ricky's guitar tech come out and switch guitars within him I thought they were switching songs. They weren't. ☹️ Thanks for listening!
Sorry you didn't enjoy it, but I admire him for continuing to do what he loves, (personally I think he sounds great considering singing for 50+ years) the crowds showed up, the response to all my videos have been overwhelming! The views & comments keep rolling in, they want him to come around the US , the UK, France, Australia. Nothing sad about that. Our rock & roll heroes are aging, none sound at their peak. Thank God they're still willing to grind out the tours! Thanks for listening! 🙂
What an arrogant comment! He can sing and he is doing it....wanna know who can’t sing? All your music hero’s who are dead! The fact he can stand there and strum that guitar and attempt to seem should put a smile on your face like it has tens of thousands of others!
