When I listen to Alabama. I think of America, anyone else ??? Not only that. But I think of hard work dedication. The look and feel of a foggy mountain morning. I can’t describe it all. But if you know country. Then you know what I mean.
I kinda compare em to Lynryd Skynryd just the low key, blue jeans and t shirts kinda band that you could see and hear play in some lowly dive on a Saturday night.
Hello from Chicago! I was born and raised here but my parents immigrated here from China. Even being 1st generation here, I can agree with you on this sentiment. We grew up with little and were taught to work hard b/c no one is going to give you anything. I didn't grow up listening to much music and I only started listening to country a few years ago after a wedding in Nashville. I had no clue I was going to love it so much. The exact moment it clicked was when I was in the middle of a packed bar (ah the pre-corona days) buzzing with a nice beer in hand, when the band struck the first chords of Wagon Wheel and the entire bar erupted. "Holy $#!7 I'm the only guy here that has never heard this song!" LOL. I was hooked. Something about the simple life and family values along with the melodies really hits home for me. I'm literally listening to this song for the first time ever and it's sooooo good. Looking forward to discovering more classics like this. Anyways, thanks for posting this for everyone to enjoy.
Well Mr. Martin I am Glad your Toe can Tap and your Ears still Hear. I am 58 and have Lost about 1/2 my Hearing in my Right Ear, but 1/2 is better than none. Thanks for your Comment.
@@CAPTJACKRACKHAMZGM Yes, I guess I am lucky, considering that I worked around jet engines in my early years. The last test I had said that I had significant loss in the left ear and moderate loss in the right. Like you, it still doesn't prevent me from listening to good music, Just crank up the volume a little more! HA!
@@rolandemartin854 Yes Sir. I spent some Time in the Middle East as a Fire Arms Instructor. Many Hours as a Matter of Fact. A slow progression oddly enough. I have Handled Fire Arms of All Description All My Life. Can’t really say it was from the Firing Range. Maybe it was my time to Lose it.
What They Did can Never Be Duplicated. They Set a Standard That Still Falls within the Rules of Traditional Country Music. But Also Expanded it...I am sure that is a reasonable Statement. I've Seen them 3 times. I was never Disappointed.

Jeff cook's was defintly the biggest musical part of this bands success he played lead rhythm guitars keyboards fiddle banjo I started playing guitar in the 1980s watching Jeff my favorite country guitarist .rip Jeff cook.
Your Neighbors Are People Of the Highest Character and Taste in Traditional Country Music. Thank you For your Comment Jeepboy. I will tell Randy & Teddy.
Sweet captjack I’ve been a fan since the 80’s as a kid my parents were huge fans and I seen them multiple times at ponderosa music festival in Ohio I wish they would Play the Carolina country music festival in couple weeks anyways thanks for the reply
I've been Listening to Alabama since the early 80's and I believe this is probably one of the best country songs ever. So easy to listen to and sing along, a great song to drive down some country road in your pickup with a pretty lady.
This concert was recorded October 10, 1998, at the Las Vegas Hilton, concurrently with the release of their 2 CD compilation "For the Record: 41 #1 Hits".
First country band I ever listened to, and instantly fell in love with the music! They are the originals and the best. Jeff was so talented, will be missed!
I think of an awesome group of people that actually wrote, play, composed, performed music. Non existent today. They're still together. They have morals. Care about family. He's a CHEVY man🤣 They have always been my favorite, since the 80's for me. I was born in 73. They are still my favorite ❤
Thank You for Your comment Kimberly. You are Quite Correct. I Have seen Alabama 3 Times in Concert. They Were the Picture of Country Music Professionalism for 3 Decades. Their songs are Still Played Daily on Country Music Radio Stations Across This Nation. They Allow me to Present this Performance. I Can't Thank Them Enough for that Courtesy.
I'm not an US citizen, I'm from Chile. While I was visiting a beloved Aunt in Santiago back in '92 I saw a beautiful-covered tape, put in an old cassette player, and starten to listen my all time favorite country song "Country Roads", and after a couple of songs ... Dixieland Delight for the first time. From that moment, I fell immediate in love with the song, and when the Internet arrived to Chile for all public in '94, I started to look more information about this song, and it's accurate translation, but Internet was young, poor made websites, and it was almost non-existant. After meeting an old 18-Wheeler driver from Texas ten years later in 2004, NAM Veteran (a friend of my father), I brought the topic to the table, and I finally come to realize the importance of this song to Alabama people. And today, just before knowing about the Russian invasion, searching in TH-cam about this wonderful song I realize how moving and powerful is "Dixieland Delight" to Alabama people, and the rest of US . Nowadays, It's like a National Anthem , and it's played in important Sports Events, and even in Ceremonies. I'm not a rich person, but I hope someday I coud visit the US, and sing that beautiful song in a Big Alabama Stadium!
Ya I'm not going to attend my funeral if they don't play this song!! Grew up in 80's early man great music right up with Waylon Willie Kristofferson Jerry Reed all was GRATE!!!
The best country band ever playing one of the best country songs ever Edit, just found out Jeff died, this is so sad. R.I.P you extremely talented legend
Takes me back to my Uncles and Aunts farm in Tennessee he had a Trans Am 4 wheel drive truck building a barn and Ho downs he was my hero Billy and Terri Hood sure miss those days growing up with REAL COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!
Was there anything musically that Jeff Cook couldn't do? What a legend. Playing in Heaven now. I can't imagine the shows he puts on. Would have been awesome to see these guys live when they were filling every venue they played.
1982 concert in Beaumont, Texas we waited around in the lobby for a while with about 100 other fans. The three guys came out to the lobby about 30 minutes after the show. My middle daughter, Randi, was a tiny baby. Jeff Cook scooped her up from my wife and carried her around showing everyone a baby girl named Randi. All three eventually carried her around for a while signing autographs and visiting. They all signed her diaper before giving her back. Three great guys.
@@Buddygold9509 Great Story Buddy. And....Excellent name choice for your Daughter. That sounds exactly like what Jeff, Randy, & Teddy would do. They Love their Kids, and Everybody else's too.
I’m def no country music fan at all. But being from Alabama and knowing these guys were singing about my life at a teenager. Love these guys and have seen them several times. At the 92 Bama aday game they were awesome. Remember Randy singing the national anthem at the Bama tn game too. That was awesome.
In 1982 on the Mountain Music tour I met drummer Mark Herndon during a break of the band playing softball 🥎 against the local radio station DJ’s. I was a beginning drummer and asked him how to play the fast part on Mountain Music. He showed me with his hands on his legs explaining it was a paradiddle-diddle between the kick and snare 🥁. He said to learn it slowly listening to Ride the Train from the Feels So Right album. I’ll never forget how kind he was to a young drummer and a total stranger! I’ll always love the Alabama band!
Thanks for Sharing that Story Gary. Not much information surfaces about Mark Herndon. My understanding is that he was a Rock and Roll Drummer, but Found his Place as the 4th member of the Band.
No Joe....we are getting better. Well Seasoned. We have almost seen it all by now. But you are correct This is Country Music. Thanks for watching and Sharing your Comments.
Thank you For Your Comment Rhonda. Alabama is one of the Best Group of Musicians that I have ever seen in Concert. They have Permitted me to Bring This Performance to you, and other TH-cam Viewers. I Can't say Enough Good Things About Them. They are what You See & Hear.
When I was teaching, especially in the 90s and early 2000 I always had country music on, in the am before classes started. And many of my students loved Alabama 😊
@@michaelwelch3753 So Mr. Welch, you were known among your students as one of the "Cool Teachers". In my high school days (77-81) teachers like you were outnumbered, but they made up for that by being "Outstanding". We Learned the most from instructors like you.
You that have heard there's angels among us well you can believe it when Alabama plays their own kind of music I really miss the June Jams in Fort Payne Alabama and I'm so glad to say my home's in Alabama the heart of Dixie 😊
I am Sorry to hear of the Loss of Your Mother. I do understand how you Feel. All of my Folks are Gone. I am the Last of my Family Name. I have seen Alabama 4 Times in concert. I had the opportunity to meet the members of the Band Backstage. They are what you see. They Allow me to Present this Video for the Enjoyment of their Fans. I can't thank them enough for thIs Privilege.
Search TH-cam for "Alabama 41 Greatest Hits Tour 1998 Full Movie". There should be 2 or 3 channels that will Appear that currently Host the Majority or All of the Performance.
1980s Alabama were at their peak of popularity. Why, no christian bro-counry propaganda messaging in their tunes. Just Southern country pride without the BS! 👍👌 Saw these guys at the Minnesota State Fair in the 80s, they were great!
I grew up listening to country then wandered into the Grateful Dead world. Just started listening to these guys again after 25 years and wondering why I ever stopped.
I grew up listening to country then wandered into the Grateful Dead world. Just started listening to these guys again after 25 years and wondering why I ever stopped.
I was fortunate to meet Jeff Cook early one morning after their concert in Fargo ND, and a few cups of coffee it was like talking to an old friend. We talked fishing pretty much the entire time…Rest Easy Jeff “Fish On”!!!!
Thanks for your comment Rhonda. I have seen them 3X. One of those performances was in Honor of Richard Petty. All of them were Great, and I had a Good Time Everytime.
My wife a I took a cruise out of New Orleans last spring. The dualing piano club played this song every night they were open. People jumped up and danced all over. It was awesome. I can’t believe the people in the audience for this song were sitting!!
Sounds like you and the Mrs. Had a Great Time. I can tell you this performance took place in Vegas. It was in Support of the "40 Greatest Hits" tour. Vegas Audiences tend to be a Bit more Conservative. Also the Audience was made Aware the performance was being Taped. Pretty Apparent with the Number of Cameras and Camera Men.
This is the kind of music I grew up on! People had their instrument in the trunk of the car, came by, had a big Music Fest on the front porch! My Mom played guitar, her brother the banjo! I grew up with music!
Thanks for commenting Rhonda. I grew up on this as kind of music as well. I have seen Alabama in Concert 3 Times and they were Fantastic. I am fortunate to have a number of Musicians that are close Friends. We have Music Fests in a Barn here on the Property where I live.
Listening to these guys in the 80-90’s ya just knew you were hearing something special! You knew as they were singing that this group would become legendary.🎸
Amen John. I have seen them 3 Times in Concert. The 3rd show I was Invited Back Stage. I closely Resemble Teddy Gentry. In any case they were All very nice Guys. They Allow me to continue to Present this Video. I can't thank them Enough for the Privilege. Thanks for watching John.
@@CAPTJACKRACKHAMZGM Wow! Sadly I never made it to a concert but I sure do love their music! I’m watching to see if they ever make it back to Minneapolis. 👍
@@johnsorensen3831 Randy Owen & Teddy Gentry are All that Remain. Jeff Cook passed away. Drummer Mark Herndon Left the Band. I am not sure that Jeff Cook is Replaceable. I am not certain that Randy and Teddy will be Touring any more. I hate to paint such a Dark Picture.
I remember being in 3rd grade in a predominately black school (I'm Latina) .. twice a week we would have PE in the school cafeteria and our PE teacher would play this all the time. I knew then I loved country music!
Thank you so much for this comment Delores. The fact that you are Latina and that you appreciate this Music is a True testament that this Music was made for ALL OF US.
Splendid music Southern bread Northern fed. Put multitasking at all but kicking the sander on a bonfire it's my forefathers in me because I looked down at my feet once upon a Time in late 70 and said what am I doing and what am I up to and I was doing a little hop here and a lot of hot air and I swear to goodness it was my forefathers mothers alive and me at that moment ♥️
I saw th😅ese guys in Knoxville 2022. They were still amazing!!We missed Jeff. It sucks that Alabama University chooses to use this song anthem cause all it stands for to me is an 80s country classic from legends!!! Roll on Alabama!!¡
@@Christopherhusted-p8y Thank You Christopher. Randy and Teddy will be most pleased to read this complement. I share your opinion. They are Great guys. They are Kind to everyone. They really appreciate their Fans
Francies it is my Pleasure to meet You. Thank You for Your Positive Comments. It means a Great Deal to me that you took the time to Reach out to me and remind me of the Reason I Created this Channel in the First Place.
Well Sam....I Have Given Your Statement some thought. I can Tell you that it was a Great Time. I have Seen Alabama 3 Times. They were this Good Consistently.. When you see episodes of "That 70'S Show". That Was Exactly how we were. Old Timers have the phrase...."Those were the good old days." And yes they were. As the Decades have passed by for me I have said it as well. Fear Not....your generation will have it's own marks of Accomplishment. You too will Look back some day just like most Old Timers you will repeat that familiar phrase. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for watching Joyce. I Have quite a Few good Live performances Featured on my channel. I Invite you to Watch them All. Just go to my channel and search Rackham's JUKEBOX.
Alabama is hands down the greatest band in country music and one of the greatest artists in country music history. Do you know if you can find the video of them performing “Deep River Woman” with Lionel Richie on the 1986 CMA awards show? Or just the whole awards show in general? Thanks.
I Have not searched for that performance. I would expect that the whole awards show would be posted. There are several Video hosting sites that you might want to check. UpLoad Society, Metacafe, Internet Archive, Etc. There are a Dozen or more of these Video Hosting Sites. Some of them are European in origin. Google, Bing, & Yahoo are not the only search engines out there either. I have done what I thought were exhaustive searches for specific things. Just about the time I am ready to give up I find what I am looking for. Good Luck.
When I listen to Alabama. I think of America, anyone else ??? Not only that. But I think of hard work dedication. The look and feel of a foggy mountain morning. I can’t describe it all. But if you know country. Then you know what I mean.
Absolutely Correct Sir. They could very well have Earned the Title " America's Band". Thanks for watching and Commenting.
I kinda compare em to Lynryd Skynryd just the low key, blue jeans and t shirts kinda band that you could see and hear play in some lowly dive on a Saturday night.

Probably one of the greatest country bands of all time hands down. Thank you Alabama for making real country music.
R.I.P.Mr.Cook you gave us such great music. So very talented. Thank you
Jeff Cook was a very underrated guitar player. RIP Jeff
Greatest country band of all time
Couldn't agree more!
Not with out the original drummer there not the same
Myrtle Beach USA. I saw these great people almost every weekend in the Bowery. Now the Alabama Theatres......
I heard they got there start in Myrtle Beach basically playing for tips. I bet those were great days!
@@Lucky_Male_Bee That's right.
I was 82YO last Feb. and still, everytime I hear them play they get my toe tapping and wishing I could get up and dance again!

These guys are the standard and there will not be another band on their level. The greatest of all time!
Man, we need these guys big time right now!
I know, right? I just bought tickets to them for June 5th
I agree dude. The dude abides
Totally agree with that
They on the 50th Anniversary Tour look them up my buddy Jason Roller plays Electric Guitar & Fiddle for them.
We need this country back now!! The new ones are destroying country music as we know it!
They'll never be another group like Alabama we're great back then and still great today
What They Did can Never Be Duplicated. They Set a Standard That Still Falls within the Rules of Traditional Country Music. But Also Expanded it...I am sure that is a reasonable Statement. I've Seen them 3 times. I was never Disappointed.

1:50 I saw them many many times. From Virginia to NC to Fort Payne Alabama. Met them all many times also and they are the greatest
Who knew George Lucas not only had time to write and direct Star Wars, but also had time to perform this song.

This is the kind of music I grew up on! People had their instrument in the trunk of the car, came by, had a big Music Fest on the front porch! My Mom played guitar, her brother the banjo! I grew up with music!
Thanks for commenting Rhonda. I grew up on this as kind of music as well. I have seen Alabama in Concert 3 Times and they were Fantastic. I am fortunate to have a number of Musicians that are close Friends. We have Music Fests in a Barn here on the Property where I live.
When country music was country. Legends !
NOTHING beats the feeling and soul of southern music. I don't care if you're talkin about Alabama or Lynyrd Skynyrd, or anything in between
I AGREE (Call Me the) Mr. Breeze. I Gotta Love it. You are a Man That Loves His Southern Heritage. Not Only That, But how it is Represented Properly.
@@CAPTJACKRACKHAMZGM You better believe it brotha
Listening to these guys in the 80-90’s ya just knew you were hearing something special! You knew as they were singing that this group would become legendary.🎸
Amen John. I have seen them 3 Times in Concert. The 3rd show I was Invited Back Stage. I closely Resemble Teddy Gentry. In any case they were All very nice Guys. They Allow me to continue to Present this Video. I can't thank them Enough for the Privilege. Thanks for watching John.

Wow! Sadly I never made it to a concert but I sure do love their music!
I’m watching to see if they ever make it back to Minneapolis. 👍
@@johnsorensen3831 Randy Owen & Teddy Gentry are All that Remain. Jeff Cook passed away. Drummer Mark Herndon Left the Band. I am not sure that Jeff Cook is Replaceable. I am not certain that Randy and Teddy will be Touring any more. I hate to paint such a Dark Picture.
I remember being in 3rd grade in a predominately black school (I'm Latina) .. twice a week we would have PE in the school cafeteria and our PE teacher would play this all the time. I knew then I loved country music!
Thank you so much for this comment Delores. The fact that you are Latina and that you appreciate this Music is a True testament that this Music was made for ALL OF US.
Buena, mi amiga! Bienvenidos de la musica campa!
Alabama is home we love you
Such a beautifully constructed song. Moove over, McCartney
Jeff Cook, el mejor de la banda sin duda. Que pena su fallecimiento. R. I. P.
Splendid music Southern bread Northern fed. Put multitasking at all but kicking the sander on a bonfire it's my forefathers in me because I looked down at my feet once upon a Time in late 70 and said what am I doing and what am I up to and I was doing a little hop here and a lot of hot air and I swear to goodness it was my forefathers mothers alive and me at that moment ♥️
Love this song gives me so much pride in the southern way of life.
@@cc8295 It does the same for me.
@@cc8295 You and me Both CC.
Just enjoying Jeff's amazing talents tonight
A really great song❤❤❤
I saw th😅ese guys in Knoxville 2022. They were still amazing!!We missed Jeff. It sucks that Alabama University chooses to use this song anthem cause all it stands for to me is an 80s country classic from legends!!! Roll on Alabama!!¡

Thank You Christopher. Randy and Teddy will be most pleased to read this complement. I share your opinion. They are Great guys. They are Kind to everyone. They really appreciate their Fans
Sure reminds me of the simpler days. Sure makes this old timer style, something that’s lost in todays world
Classic country right here 🤠
love these guys❤️
Was in kimball for 3 months this song came on every night was amazing
This is now a classic as a true country gets.
Hello there sir yes there the best. The new ones just wish they was that good.....
Thanks for commenting Francies. I have seen them in Concert 3 times and they are Outstanding Performers. Sound and Stage set up are Top Notch.
I live in lower Alabama all my life . and will always will. Thank you for your shows.
Francies it is my Pleasure to meet You. Thank You for Your Positive Comments. It means a Great Deal to me that you took the time to Reach out to me and remind me of the Reason I Created this Channel in the First Place.
I wish I could experience true Dixieland not the one we have now so sad hope to my lord my south will come back
Independence. The only way.
Amen
I wish I grew up in this time...
Well Sam....I Have Given Your Statement some thought. I can Tell you that it was a Great Time. I have Seen Alabama 3 Times. They were this Good Consistently.. When you see episodes of "That 70'S Show". That Was Exactly how we were. Old Timers have the phrase...."Those were the good old days." And yes they were. As the Decades have passed by for me I have said it as well. Fear Not....your generation will have it's own marks of Accomplishment. You too will Look back some day just like most Old Timers you will repeat that familiar phrase. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It was so much fun!
Wow my songs of old love love love the band too
Thanks for watching Joyce. I Have quite a Few good Live performances Featured on my channel. I Invite you to Watch them All. Just go to my channel and search Rackham's JUKEBOX.
the best country song of ever
The south, bon fire, under the stars around the ones you love, tailgates down, yeeewww 🇺🇸
The Alabama CD I have...my favorite song is "Old Flame"
Good Choice Lori. I always Liked Carolina Mountain Dew. All Alabama songs are Good.
Great song ❤love you Alabama ❤🎉😂
I LOVE ALABAMA!!!!
As Do I Mr.Watson. I must Tell You That your Last Name has a Certain "Respectability". I am a Decendendend of that Name.
It's up there. Rhythm of the ancient mariner, simple man, holy wars and master of puppets
Ever since the Tennesee Alabama game last year this song came to mind after Tennesee scored the field goal and we beat Alabama
GO VOLS!!!!!!
You don't find music like this today
I Never met a Rebel from Texas that I Didn't Like. And.......your statement is Quire Correct Ma'am.
Agreed?
Real music.... Awesome...
the Real America we love in Europe.
RIP Jeff Cook 1949-2022
Damn,they sound good live,they will be in fort worth in october,very seriosly thinking about going
You won't be Disappointed.
love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alabama is hands down the greatest band in country music and one of the greatest artists in country music history. Do you know if you can find the video of them performing “Deep River Woman” with Lionel Richie on the 1986 CMA awards show? Or just the whole awards show in general? Thanks.
I Have not searched for that performance. I would expect that the whole awards show would be posted. There are several Video hosting sites that you might want to check. UpLoad Society, Metacafe, Internet Archive, Etc. There are a Dozen or more of these Video Hosting Sites. Some of them are European in origin. Google, Bing, & Yahoo are not the only search engines out there either. I have done what I thought were exhaustive searches for specific things. Just about the time I am ready to give up I find what I am looking for. Good Luck.
They do not come any better than ALABAMA with MARK on drums
This guy gets it!!
Exactly! Bring him back now! Especially since Jeff is gone now!
Such good music.
Indeed it is. These Musicians set a Standard that I Doubt will Ever Be Matched. Thanks for Watching and for your + Comment.
