Ted and Tommy rock better than they did in the 70's when I saw Styx and Ted live. Different concerts of course, but they seem even better now. I am 64 and have been playing guitar since I was 12 so I can relate to playing with more passion now. You appreciate it so much more.
11 yrs ago, yes.... But geez, Tommy is a tiny lil guy... sings like a friggin bird! Plays perfectly! Gawd dang. Ted has never danced so spazmodically, yet played so great. You can tell he loved being a Damn Yankee. These ol rockers from the 70s and 80s don't retire. Why? Cause they're THAT dam.n good. They know it and we sure as hel.l sure do as well. Bless all of em!
If I'm not mistaken the dude with the blue guitar is James Young of Styx...oh and Nugent's soloing is awesome, pure improvisation in the moment. Thanks for sharing!
@@r.g.armstrong2688 Ted & Tommy were fine. I had seen an interview with Tommy where he was talking about why he stepped away from Styx in the 80's. Dennis was writing songs that were more Broadway/Rock Opera type songs, and Tommy didn't want to go in that direction. Tommy said he wanted to play rock. In a DY concert, I saw a show where Ted started playing Mr. Roboto, needling Tommy. Tommy replied to Ted that something was wrong with his guitar.
I love Damn Yankees in 2020, because they just have so much fun! ESPECIALLY when terrible Teddy is in the mix. DAMN YANKEES FOREVER!!!!! Tommy and JAck are fantastic, but when Ted is on stage it just brings out so much more from both of them. THIS is Rock'nRoll, children!!!!
I always felt like Ted was the extreme version of JY - the taller hard-rocker - and this feels like Tommy's ex just showed up and he's partying with him right in front of his family. So cool. Great to see JY and Ted jamming together. Worlds colliding!
Ted nugent needed tommy shaw and blades to get a hit else hed stillbe hit less take me higher went to num 3on billboard 200. Drummer in yankees now drum for lynyrd skynyrd
@@kenwink6353 first of all I had a stroke reading that. Second, nugent has done well for himself. Musicians can be successful without a number 1 hit. In the 70s people would gravitate towards the record they picked off the shelf.
@@benrussell112 right?? Tell me how many top single hits Iron Maiden has, yet look how they sell out gigantic arenas, so gimme a break, that’s no argument at all! The Nuge is an animal on the guitar. Period.
There's a lot that I don't agree with that Ted says but you can't deny that he can fucking play a guitar! That was awesome, and I love this song. I've been in love with Tommy since I was 9 years old, I'm 25 now.
Absolutely. Whether one agrees with someone's political thoughts or beliefs does not mean all other aspects of that individual's life, their skills and talents, are invalid.
SamsonCrosswood All 80's Hairbands are intertwined with each other. Lead singers, Drummers, Guitarists all pretty much played with each other in different bands.
Chill Will Me thinks a liberal is interjecting politics into the realm of music appreciation. To say Jack and Tommy were the "real" talent and that Ted sucked is moronic. If you listen to ANY interview by ANY of the members, it was an amalgamation of creativity between them all. No ego, no "im the bigger rockstar". They had fun. They "clicked" and it didnt matter who was who. Michael Cartelone was just a smidge above "nobody" status at that time (in Tommy Shaws solo band) and even says he was always treated as an equal and had as much input as he could manage.
D.Y. was a side project that turned out to be one of the best bands of their time. Saw them with Bad Company. Nothing against Bad Company, but their opening act blew them away on that tour. They did the night I saw them.
I must say it's great to see sticks covering A Damn Yankees song fantastic that's all I'm going to say and I'm a big fan of sticks I'm a big fan of Ted Nugent and I am a big fan of Damn Yankees thanks guys
hey yall get this i would go to a place outside of Prattville Alabama next door to Bama lanes to hear Tommy Shaw and Eddie Woffer back in the 70s knew Tommy was going to be well known back then. you no im not lying if so just ask him.
There was a third Damn Yankees record. It was ready to go and complete....and it will never see the light of day. Tommy was supposed to go into the studio (he was on the road with Styx) and do some minor tweaks. Unfortunately the entire band fell apart before he finished. But a 3rd Damn Yankees is in the can and can be released .
It wasn't any good; that's why it wasn't released. The production was bad and the songs weren't up to DY standards. Some of the songs have since been released and they weren't very good.
@@toddbushie1657 He's talking about JY James Young...Styx guitar player. Tall dude with the blue strat. Watch Styx live at Winterland 1976 or 78...he's a very good guitar player.
ted was haven a good time its kinda like when you see the boys from back in high school and you start doing the same shit you did back then. ted for the white house, and America
Spot on solo ! No burnt out guitar hero here folks ... pure clean talent

Ted is so high on life! loving jaming with Tommy & JY
It's so cool to see James Young and Ted Nugent playing together on stage. Two of the greatest hard rock guitarists of all time!
Ted didn’t want comfort singing in any of these songs he wanted to let everybody know how he could play guitar and he’s one of the greatest guitarist
HOT DAMN!!!!! TOMMY SHAW!!!! I have loved him since he joined Styx in 1976. Crystal Ball, the song, the album, one of my all time favorites.
tommy always sounds awesome..REUNITE DAMN YANKEES PLEASE!!! WE MISS YOU
ted and tommy shaw still kick ass
Ted Nugent - The Ageless Wonder. This guy is nearly 64 (December) and he's still cranking like a guy half his age! UNBELIEVABLE!

Ted steals the stage once again! Teds the Best!
Please, REUNITE the Damn Yankees!!!
Yes. PLEASE!
Agreed. As far as Supergroups go, this band had it all!!
Shoulda renamed them Damn FINE Americans !
There too old too now..
Fuck ya!
So Fender, Gibson and PRS do sound good together.... Love these guys!
That was fun! I used to play that song a bunch back in my 90's hay day cover band.
That drummer is heavy duty man!!!
If only Jack had walked out, not to mention Cartelone'
2020 and we still waiting on a Reunion..
I love this. I also remember the banter between Tommy and Ted during their DY days, and why Tommy left Styx. Lots of subtle humor in this video.
What happened between Ted and Tommy?

Ted does have a good time on stage doesn't he
If he had MORE fun up there it would
Probably violate the Geneva Convention and 12 laws in Canada. Lololololol
got a sloppy at the end but still entertaining
@@edwardruiz8920 sounded like his guitar went pretty flat…..too much shred apparently
His ego has way more fun onstage than he does
He sure does
Uncle Ted ROCKS

It's about the music...leave out the politics!

William Price ted the draft dodger... so patriotic
This is great to see and hear
Love them! Saw original Damn Yanks in 1993, Muskegon, MI.
Ted and Tommy are awesome. How about a Damn Yankees reunion????
2022 and it's "Damn" time for another DY album and tour.
So it's Styx with Ted Nugent playing Damn Yankees songs and now I've gone cross eyed.
who do you think damn Yankees were?
SamsonCrosswood All 80's Hairbands are intertwined with each other. Lead singers, Drummers, Guitarists all pretty much played with each other in different bands.
Damn Yankees = Ted Nugent , Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades
Ted's a beast
.Tommy tearing up them vocals
A more accurate title would be "Ted Nugent and Styx"
Ted Nugent was only the guitar player for the Damn Yankees. The songs he wrote sucked. Tommy and Jack were he real talent of the DY.

No, it was all of them that created that magic
Tommy Shaw played with him in the 70’s. Saw them at Winterland SF; great show.
Fantastic post! Ted adopting the boys as peers! This RAWKS!
These 2 are awesome! So opposite it just works!
I agree. Tommy's awesome. Uncle Ted too..Saw Tommy with Styx in 1979. The were so awesome..
Tommy's so tiny and awesome!
We NEED a Damn Yankees reunion tour!!
Oh hell yeah!!!
D.Y. was a side project that turned out to be one of the best bands of their time.
Saw them with Bad Company.
Nothing against Bad Company, but their opening act blew them away on that tour.
They did the night I saw them.
I agree. I saw them twice on that tour. The first time they opened for Bad Company. The second time, Bad Company opened for them.
Still got it
tommy was using all of his ethereal power not to absolutely die laughing with ted
good fun rock n' roll!
2:30 - That’s where they had to block out Ted pissing on the stage to mark his territory 🎸
I saw Damn Yankees back in the early 90's, it was a great show.
Damm good band seen them a few times in Detroit 👍
Ted has not a care in the world... true rocker
Awesome concert!!
Came for the model train convention, stayed for "Come Again."
I really like Ted Nugent. He plays guitar really great and classic rock is my life same as Styx Ted Nugent is a great guitar player
Damn, saw you guys first in Portland Maine opening for Blue Oyster Cult, Left a big fan and still love listening
Uncle Ted and Tommy Shaw! Badass!!
Uncle Ted loves to rock...
Would have loved it if they had did this at our Concert!!!!

#2021
Uncle Ted loves the Trumper just like we do! God, can he still rock!!
This is the kind of music that rock and roll is made of Tommmy Shaw Jack Black!
Jack Black?...I think you meant Blades, but who knows Tenacious D, might sound great with DY.
Not sure Ted woulda made it better, sure needs Jack Blades though.
