steve i am a bit past 61 and i saw ted about 8 times in a few states my home state is michigan and omg he was a like a viking warrior god come to conquer i think his camp for kids saved my youngest son's life ,,funny he looks alot like ted he is 36 now and looks more and more like ted the older he gets...god bless the nugent family and all the good work they do...
Many ppl forget or want to forget,he was the top guitarist of the year that Woodstock happened,not Hendrix,TEd was the guy who played the wicked solo in Journey to the center of the mind.

The only song that the Motor City Madman sings from that album is “Motor City Madhouse”. On the second album (Free-For-All), Meat Loaf provides the vocals on a bunch of songs.
Ted was always killer. This band is tight. And for the record ... my favorite TED stuff was ALWAYS with Derek St. Holmes. still hoping for one last lp from Him and Ted.
@@timhoovermusicman * *Tim Hoover,* * - Many people forget or haven't a clue. Meatloaf sang five tunes from Free for All, "Together, Writing on the Wall, Street Rats, Hammerdown and I Love you so I told you a Lie." All great songs!
@@JamminClemmons yep, A few years back my friend said he hated meatloaf. So I played him those 5 songs and he was jammin along and afterwards I said you know who that was singing???...the guy you just said you hate😆😆😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
And there it is. Someone gets paid by TH-cam to say EVERYTHING ever posted in TH-cam is underrated If you were there at the time, they were not underrated.
I met Ted in Tower Records, Cambell, Ca. in the 70's when Double Live Gonzo came out. I was a kid could hardly believe what happened. He pulled down a cardboard promotion that was hanging from the ceiling. It has the cover picture of that album along with the song list. He autographed it and gave it to me. I still have it framed on my living room wall. I saw him play the Bakersfield Fox Theater in 2008 and he rocked HARD for over 3 hours and I got his autograph again ! He said Bakersfield was known for it's country music and asked us if we wanted to hear a country song. The crowd roared and he said to get the fk outta here cause he don't play that shit !
I got to see the ORIGINAL lineup in 1976. Derek St Holmes could do some fantastic singing in those days. When I saw Nugent without St Holmes, it just wasn't the same. Glad to see them in some resent videos, doing it the way it should be done.
@@jeffzachritz8879 they never put a statue of a critic in towns square ever.... every one of them guys are top top players and very respected in the music industry
I'm totally diggin this whole show. Ted/Derrick sound as good here (1995) as they did in the 70's and I think Ted's playing improved 500% between 1979 and 1995
Yes 1995 ! I saw him with this line up . I met him before the show because of the hunting club . I was pulled out of line and brought to his hotel with about 10 others and we talked in a conference room for what was a 30 minutes or more . He signed anything we wanted and took pictures if you had a camera but back then there weren’t cell phones and cameras weren’t allowed into shows . He was really Down to earth and he was talking so much his daughter had to come and pull him away lol . We were then escorted down the street where the venue was and we got to sit right up front of the stage in the VIP section . I don’t think he does this anymore or if he does I think it costs money but back then it was free and he just did it :)
What an ear blistering tone! And you can tell by the way he's playing, his skill level is at "I don't even have to think about how to play" master level.
That was Ted at his absolute peak, soling wildly , fluidly, singing right along, great riffs in this song, absolute masterpiece of rock and roll of this era, classic
A travesty - Ted Nugent is not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame !! Also a travesty - Ted Nugent is not on the Rolling Stone Magazine 100 Greatest Guitarists List -- www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-guitarists-20111123 I'm sure that it couldn't be for political reasons...yeah right.
I saw Ted Nugent in the early 80s at the Chattanooga Round House. Lol very wild concert,but I was very disappointed that Ted was not doing the vocals and he had his vocalist hiding in the dark at the edge of the stage.
In 1986, I saw King Kobra, WASP w/ Ted Nugent as the headliner. This was in Austin. I remember it like it was yesterday. Ready to Strike, The Last Command and Little Miss Dangerous tours.
Have to say don't know much about american politics, guns, hunting animals or whatever but this bloke has always had balls and speaks his mind right or wrong but at least he does world needs more like him plus his music ain't bad either
'Ere you you English,Irish,Scot,Welsh or an Aussie? Me, l am English,Irish and American Indian and German Texican.Something my dad would call a Heinz 57.After a steak sauce made here in America,57varieties.
Ted is Ted, it's his band, the bassist, to bow out the way, way good, Ted or not if fellow band mate is ripping it up, good night, let them Ripping Rock.
I agree with the others who commented, his unabashed political beliefs are what's keeping him out, which is absolute bullshit! It should not matter what his politics are, he rocks and he rolls, and that's what it's all about. Fuck the leftist/socialism/communism supporting snowflakes in our nation! Wish they'd melt already!
I was born in Ann Arbor Ted's from Redford seen him many times over the decades butt got to hang out with him before and after a show in Orange County Ca,..talked like normal people that believe in God and the Constitution and hunting 😀
By the way, Ted has the record for the most Volume and Electricity drawn in St. Louis. Took down several blocks of St. Louis, Do not retaliate, He's armed and he's in a state that allows concealed and long-range scoped weapons. But I'll take you in a long-range shootout. M. Abernathy was my teacher.
I have to say, saw the Wango Tango tour in Rosemont IL. And he was Swingin from amp to amp in his "shorts". But we did not mind, scored some weed in the john.
My all-time favorite Ted Nugent line-up always has Derek St Holmes !
It really has too!
The Best.
This has to be right around 1995 . I saw him with this exact line up back then . What a time it was !!!!!!! Fantastic !!!!
Nothing.
He's my 3rd cousin
If you were 18yrs old rockin this song when it came out you are now 61. Who says old people don't rock.
steve i am a bit past 61 and i saw ted about 8 times in a few states my home state is michigan and omg he was a like a viking warrior god come to conquer i think his camp for kids saved my youngest son's life ,,funny he looks alot like ted he is 36 now and looks more and more like ted the older he gets...god bless the nugent family and all the good work they do...
62 and bangin, and teachin the cerebral tunes not K-rap!
Who said you were old?
I am 62 and saw Ted when I was 18 in Mannheim, Germany (USAF) 1976
I am
Those first three Nugent Band records with St. Holmes are essential hard rock classics!
Double LIVE GONZO! was his master piece
Agreed... the first 3 are a musical rock n roll foundation.
Yes!!!!!
Spirit of The Wild is also a master piece --
Yet Ted's songs with Meatloaf singing are the best!
Many ppl forget or want to forget,he was the top guitarist of the year that Woodstock happened,not Hendrix,TEd was the guy who played the wicked solo in Journey to the center of the mind.

I went to Ted concert couldn’t believe it when the light went on Derek st.Holmes and he started singing thought Ted sang all the songs.
The only song that the Motor City Madman sings from that album is “Motor City Madhouse”. On the second album (Free-For-All), Meat Loaf provides the vocals on a bunch of songs.
Ted with Derek simply the best.
Wow! Ted is a guitar playing master! Incredible.

Don't forget meatloaf!
I saw them September 2, 1978 a day on the green in Oakland California fantastic what a tight band
@@timhoovermusicman * *Tim Hoover,* * - Many people forget or haven't a clue.

Oh no garbage
The best Ted Nugent lineup was with Derek St. Holmes.....Bad ass !!
You can say that again!
You know it Shmoe !
Nah, Meatloaf was much better!
Hell ya he focused on playing not singing sob could shred
@Rufus T Firefly and Rob Grange
Derek St. Holmes One of the greatest power voices in music. So underrated
Definitely and Steve Marriott too
And there it is. Someone gets paid by TH-cam to say EVERYTHING ever posted in TH-cam is underrated
If you were there at the time, they were not underrated.
Uncle Ted is a true Rock Star. Strait in your face Rock-N-Roll 🤘
BALLZ OUT ROCK FROM THE MAN WITH THE LIONS MANE !!!
Ted is the best...period! He has more than stood the test of time...
"Kamikaze from the 100th floor-swan dive to the street"...one of the most spine chilling lyrics ever....
Derek St Holmes is one very very underrated guitarrist and vocalist as well
Saw Ted in 1979...no filler, no BS....2 hours of solid in your face , kick your arse ROCK and ROLL!
AliG1964 so did I in 79 ! Bismarck ND. Ted called it 'Bisfuckingmarck'
And I just saw him last year at age 70....STILL 2 hrs of solid in your face ROCK and ROLL!
AliG1964 me too. Right on
Not to mention LOUD AS FUK! My ears are still ringing.
The quality of his playing varied more than any rock guitarist in history, but this is a pretty on point solo.
65 is still rocking. It.
0:28 more like 75 yrs old born 12.13.1948 😮
Had a dog named Dog back in the 70’s
When playin this song he would go crazy running quickly around.
This a killer line up! Derek St. Holmes, Michael Cartellone on drums, Michael Lutz on bass.
Ted in the Amboy Dukes in 1968 and still playing in 2021. An amazing 53 year run.
Since '64. He founded the band that year. First album in '67. An even more amazing run.
I wonder if the man who took Nugent's place in the draft survived Vietnam?

I met him around 91 at sport shop in jersey doing a promo got him to sign my cat scratch fever album he was playing with damn Yankees at the time
What an awesome performance of a great old clasisic!
*classic. And I agree; wish he could play it again.
Derek St. Holmes...great vocalist and certainly no slouch on rhythm guitar. One of the greats.
Ted Nugent is the original Bad Ass Rock and Roll Gunslinger. Keep Rockin Ted. God Bless!

Derek's voice is more powerful today than it was back here!!! He definitely sounds better now!!! BOTH ARE BADASS!!!
Derek st Holmes on lead vocals!! hes fantastic!!
He's the only talent on that stage.

TED alone blows everyone else away with Derek St Holmes they are GUITAR GODS
What an ear blistering tone! And you can tell by the way he's playing, his skill level is at "I don't even have to think about how to play" master level.
Man, you can just feel and hear the power of his guitar.
Derek!!! Very underrated, if not unheard of great talent!!!
That was Ted at his absolute peak, soling wildly , fluidly, singing right along, great riffs in this song, absolute masterpiece of rock and roll of this era, classic
Fuck the Rock n Roll Hall of Lame, Ted by far is one of the best.
Absolutely love Derek St. Holmes!
Hall of Famer..Period!
People let Ted's social and political outspokenness distract from the undeniable fact that he is a superlative guitar player!
No question!

Sensational guitar licks, Ted plays guitar like nobody else.
Derek St.Holmes is the best singer to pair with Ted's Jammin
Derek sang the hits!! Ted killed on the guitar!!!

Ted Nugent is an American patriot that is badass. He doesn't give a shit about people's opinions 🙂
Be glad you don't know much about the shit politics of this country.
Ted always kicks ass
Nuge at his absolute peak
Better then he was in the 70s . Absolutely Kick Ass from Derick too 😎
I have seen Ted Nugent in the Milwaukee area at least 20 times since 1978 always loved it never disappointed
Dog eat dog, you kidin me, one of many terrible teds greatest hits, keep listening you’ll be hooked too
Yeah 62 here thanks Sir❤GOD BLESS❤AMEN❤☆☆☆☆☆!!!!!😊
This is my favorite lineup but it doesn't matter cuz I come to see Ted. Badass guitar player
nothing but true rock , always have been
Saw Ted in Nashville in 1976..still the loudest show ever.
Great players make anyone look great
That opening riff is epic
One of the best solos I've ever seen.
Apparently, you haven't seen much.
Say what you want about Mr. Ted Nugent, the man was a magnificent guitar player in his peak of 70s-80s. Just listen to his guitar,not his mouth
Listen to his mouth also. Because he says what every red blooded, god fearing, flag saluting American thinks but is afraid to say.
My fav song...
👌👌👌👌! One of the best!!!!
I don’t always listen to Ted Nugent, but when I do, so do the neighbors.
Classic Ted
Ted is Ted, it's his band, the bassist, to bow out the way, way good, Ted or not if fellow band mate is ripping it up, good night, let them Ripping Rock.
still here
Ted Rockin It 🤘
I was there a this show Raleigh North Carolina. Meet Ted after the show.
How can 189 people listen to this song and not like it??!!
Ted is rockin' it Big Time on this tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saw him in 76' Superbowl of rock in Chicago with this original line up at there best!
AND HE ADORES JEFF BECK RIFFS. GOD BLESS.....

How was this dude not in the rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame...
🤩❤ Ted rules !
Ted Nugent is awesome. From my state, Michigan. Totally cool.🇩🇬🐩
Nothing beats real music.So fucking glad I grew up with this
Saw them open for Blue Oyster Cult and ZZ Top at the Spectrum 1976... Nugent Band blew them away. Found about Derek St Holmes that night.
Jesus,what a killer,wicked guitar tone...damn,Ted
You know its loud Ted when you have to shut the door for the neighbors. Lets keep blasting these tones. On 11 Ted.
Saw Ted live several years ago. This was his best song of the night.
Wicked! That's Ted I remember. The whole band is cranking. The power coming out of the amps will get you out of bed
HAIL TED from 🇮🇹🖤🤘🏻🖤
should be in the r&r hall of fame.
Hes not? I wonder why?

Dog Eat Dog and Free For All not played enough
I was born in Ann Arbor Ted's from Redford seen him many times over the decades butt got to hang out with him before and after a show in Orange County Ca,..talked like normal people that believe in God and the Constitution and hunting 😀
never was a fan of this song, but damn Ted can play guitar like almost no one else! other guys are awfully good too
The golden line up was : Derek St.Holmes, Rob Grange and Cliff Davies.
This one is pretty damn close. Michael Cartellone on drums!
Ted is the Musteine of hard rock
HOLMES=1 OF THE BEST VOICES IN ROCK
By the way, Ted has the record for the most Volume and Electricity drawn in St. Louis. Took down several blocks of St. Louis, Do not retaliate, He's armed and he's in a state that allows concealed and long-range scoped weapons. But I'll take you in a long-range shootout. M.

Awesome with Derek St Holmes. Wish he always have him on tour with him
So being from West Texas I love the fact that he kills stuff everyday to eat............and then has the ability to feed a lot of people.
Godfather of shred.
Ted mean ass guitar player, 🙂👍
That was the first song I ever learned to play when it first came out. It holds up well.
Ted Nugent is a gorgeous hunk 💖💖💖
Nugent and Holmes kicked down some deadbolted doors. Right sound right time. Explosions!!
The nooges slides are some of the best in the game
Nugent is a charismatic vicious guitar player. You can be that cocky when your that good! I love a guy who thrives on all his haters out there!
I have to say, saw the Wango Tango tour in Rosemont IL. And he was Swingin from amp to amp in his "shorts". But we did not mind, scored some weed in the john.
