- Sometimes mysterious $5 bootleg dvd's really pay off. Here we have Irving, Texas' Point Blank playing for the Rockpalast TV program at Palladium Cologne, Germany on June 10, 2007. It's dirty Texas blues rock to be sure, but Point Blank always had just the right hard edge to keep heavy rock fans' ears perked up and ready for more. If you close your eyes, you'd swear it was 1977 and not 2007. Rock forever.

I saw them in the 70's at the Binary Star club in Dallas off of Inwood road. Who is still here that can remember that club? I am, lol 72yrs young and still rocking.
In the late '90's (most) of the members of Point Blank had a band called Bigfoot Johnson who had a house-band gig at the Tattoo Bar. It wasn't Point Blank II, and was mainly just for fun....but they'd play most of their old material. I thought it was really cool to see and hear them up close, in a room that wasn't much bigger than kitchen! Up close and intimate. Awesome.
I saw them warming up for blackfoot and foghat in okland 1981. Great band
I saw Point Blank twice in the late 70's. They were PHENOMENAL. Very tight and as good as any of the bands they always opened up for back in those days. Sad that almost the entire original lineup have all passed. I believe Buzzy Gruen is the only surviving member...
Saw them in '78 at the old Cleveland Coliseum. Great band and completely under rated.
I had the pleasure of seeing Point Blank several times in the 80s. One of my favorites & grossly underated. Texas Blues, Rock at it's finest.
Holy crap I love this band. They should be with the likes of Lynard, Allman Bros, cause this is just straight dirty dog music. So good for the soul. Rock in a crowd, a bed, a truck, but your rockin somewhere with this band.
I caught them in the early 90s at the Loose Moose Saloon in Stanton, CA. They were great. Someone tried to rob me in the parking lot as I walked home but it didn't work out for him.
Great live band...such a shame most the members have passed.
Fantastic band but unfortunately grossly underrated. It brings me back to my youth, they were my heroes then.
Buddy on guitar!!!
This is one bad ass band !!!!
Very impressive set. One of my favourite bands. Fan from India.
first saw them in a basketball gym at the time of their point blank lp being released, then zztop was the headliner during the tres hombres daze, yup......my ears are still ringing ha! good times.....
TRIBUTE TO "POINT BLANK"~!!...that big ol band from Texxas(voted #4 inductee, by the fanz, to the "Southern Rock Hall of Fame" by #3 the OUTLAWS)with one original member, still standing, OUR FRYND, BUZZY GRUEN *****
🎉Congrats to Buzzy, thank you for the music, y'all definitely are more than,"just the band"😊Hope you remember too!
One of my favorite concerts back in the day, Riverfront Colosseum in Cincinnati November 11, 1979. The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Point Blank. Point Blank played first and was rowdy as hell and fired the whole crowd up. O'Daniels yelled to the crowd " If anybody sees anybody throw anything on the stage... turn around and kick their fucking ass!! No one threw anything lol.
I remember that lineup too, it was in N.H. tho, and it was my very first concert! Oh, that was crazy, me & few girlfriends snuck out to meet the boys who drove us!! Heck of a crazy night for me! I sure miss hearing them play, in Dallas/FtWorth, for those who also remember~~Love Redness❤
I grew up down the street from Rusty Burns, use to take my guitar down there and he'd wind up taking it away and playing it. He played a right handed guitar upside down, if you look closely he puts his strings on upside down on a left handed guitar, because he learned on a right handed guitar.
you gotta think that what youre saying helped figure into his eccentric sound,......somewhat like the hendrix's bridge did for his work.....wasnt rusty billy gibbons guitar tech at one time?
When a bunch of Gandalfs do their magic and blow your ears point blank even 40 years later!
RIP, John,Rusty and Philip! Great musicians!
Oh God , Rusty played the strings on his Guitar the other way, like Eric Gales. Crazy!
Coco Montoya plays like that also. Check him out! He's amazing!
JUST LOOK at how effortless he is playing, just an amazing musician!
Great band, and the guitars sound fat. Thanks to Buddy Whittington !
Point Blank are top! Discovered this Southern Rock Band long ago, and love them. I mean listen to "Thank you mama" (among many others of the early tracks) which unfortunately is missing in this setlist ♥ If you love Southern Rock, the first 4 albums (Point Blank/Second Season/Airplay/The Hard Way) are a must have, you'll love them :) I don't say the others aren't excellent as well, but I really dig the early albums.
Saw them at a club in Ft Worth around '75. Great show 👏
❤
I certainly remember The Binary Star. If I recall correctly, it was behind and above a unisex hair salon, two levels-- one for the stage, one for the patrons. I don't even think it was a legitimate licensed club!...if you wanted a beer, you had to go into the adjoining foosball arcade next door. Saw some great bands there-- Shotgun was a favorite. US Kids, Titus Oates (who were from my high school), Lynx, lots of Austin bands. A lot of the early punk bands played there as well. When Mother Blues/Gerties got busted, Led Zeppelin and Thin Lizzy would hang out and jam whenever they were in town. I made time with lots of good-looking chicks there....until I'd find out they were hookers! Great, fun place.
Ein Hammer Stück !!
Schwerer Blues Rock mit
Coolen Gitarrenriffs und allem
was dazu gehört. Schon in meiner Jugend ,den späten 70 ern und 80ern Jahren gern gehört. In Deutschland nicht so
bekannt . Wirklich gute und
bemerkenswerte Musiker.
Als Gast der überragende
Buddy Witthingten neben
Rusty Burns an der Gitarre.
Well done
Lusches
Vielen Dank! Schaut euch unbedingt den 1971er ZZ Top Bootleg Remaster an.

great band !!! god bless southern rock .
Hey hey! That's TEXAS rock lol. Doesn't matter; I'm from Louisiana anyway.
This is GREATNESS. I just saw Buddy and Mouse a couple of days ago and it caused me to look back. What a great band this was. Point Blank really defined the Dallas Blues Rockin' sound and I salute your greatness!
One of my favorite bands with great memories...saw then in 80 warm up for Aprilwine...I think they were recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour....such a great show....just purchased American Excess cd for third time!!!!!
Back in the day when this came out, we lived a more active less stress and not too unsatisfied lifestyle but thats all changed now just all the damn music did
I saw Point Blank in 1978 in Santa Monica CA. They opened up for Judas Priest.
Amazing, it's a shame I didn't see this band peronly live on stage. Many thanks Buddy for inviting me to listen.
HOW COOL IS THIS??? ❤Thank you so much for sharing this!! I miss Rusty & the #1band in Texas, in my humble opinion! And, to have Buddy playing with them is like a Christmas & birthday present all at once!!! Thank you from my heart, to you & the bootlegger!!
Wow! Just wow!
this is rock
Boogie and rock my soul.
No thumbs down, so far? That makes me wonder. Anyway. Top notch Blues Rock with the right addition of Boogie and Hard Rock.
Just check my Black Sabbath/BOC video for down thumbs if you want. I have to imagine most Point Blank fans are 50 years + and don't have anything negative to say. If I knew how to rig the system, my channel would be way bigger lol.
@@skeevysteve8245 Sorry mate,
I`m 61 and thee`s a lot I`m disgruntled about if it comes to music from my younger days.
Definitely no thumbs down! Amazing hardwork & love of playing their music, creative and talented too! I would bet that their music will stand the tests of time, just look how far they've come so far!!
FYI: I am not old and I am a fan not a critic, LOL
Thanks for posting this awesome show. I'm so glad this band did a reunion and recorded one of their best albums in the process along with some awesome live shows. This has been my favorite band since the mid 80's, unfortunately, I never got the chance to see them live. But at least I get to see this and some other great live stuff that's on youtube now. For being nearly 30 years after most of these songs were originally done, they sound amazingly good. So sad that most of the original band is gone since this was recorded.
They were just so damn good here. Close your eyes, and you'd have no idea this wasn't recorded decades prior.
Rusty was so awesome !
Образцово показательный концерт. Я восхищен!
Это больше похоже на 1977 год, а не на 2007 год.
@@skeevysteve8245 Ну да. Не хило так тряхнули стариной.Мастерство не пропьешь.Крассавчики!
John O'Daniel has passed? Bummer! RIP John!
Greatly appreciate you posting this vid! Highly under rated band, so glad to see it!!!
And DAMN did they sound good? Even the singer showed no age in his voice whatsoever!
Thanks for this GREAT upload and RIP boys. You guys kicked serious ass, a credit to your craft. Love it.
Superb
How they were able to transport all the eqipment with their Harleys? Very mysterious!
Mi papá vio a Buddy Whittington con John Mayall y la Bluesbreaker en mallorca 2 veces a comienzos del 2000 (2003-2004) y la 2da vez fue el 2010 en el auditorium de palma y tiene registrado los 2 conciertos el 1ro en audio Mini Disc Master (2CD) y el 2do lo Tiene en DV Video + audio Cassette, o sea 2 fuentes (sources) y los 3 suenan increíbles. Buddy es muy buen guitarrista de blues. Saludos.
Esta muy bien tu canal estoy deseando nuevas sorpresas. Salud.
¡Muchas gracias! Echa un vistazo a la edición de audio de ZZ Top 1971 si lo deseas. ¡Y Dios bendiga al contrabandista original!

Hola ! Pude ver a Mayall con Whittington en Bs aires, principios del 90. De lo mejor q vi. Saludos.
@@skeevysteve8245Plus. Banda Argentina.
...jak tak można ? Najlepsza amerykańska kapela i wyciszone gitary ?
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
When did Rusty passon
Did the director of this concert movie ever go to a live concert? When a guitarist has a solo, he should be the focus of the camerawork, just as when the vocalist is singing, you should largely be focused on him...
Pretty crazy considering that it's from a music program that's been running since 1976. Some things never change.
@@skeevysteve8245 show me some of your video work. Are you a videographer? You do a live show and we'll see how it goes! Show me your live show work.
Dad Bod Rock before Yacht Rock and JFC...
