What a great guitar player, singer and songwriter, Rick Medlocke. Isaw him often live, he´s a living legend and helped his Indian Brothers where ever it was possible....!!!!Respect!.
Ricky Medlocke one of the most underrated guitar player and musicians ever Blackfoot and the original drummer of Skynyrd and then guitarist for Skynyrd from the tribute tour on southern rock lives on!🎸🎼🎶🎵
He wasn't the original drummer for Skynyrd. Bob burns was. He played on the first and the last lp in 71 to 72 .But the lp wasn't released until 1978. He had credits for 4 songs on that lp. He sung White dove.
I do agree! Wow!! This summer I'll be seing Lynyrd Skynyrd in Berlin on their Farewell Tour of Europé. Long live Southern Rock! And as long as Rickey Medlock and Gary Rossington still is alive and playing - it's a dream come true for me...
Deep nostalgia with this song...brings tears......had this song in my heart..as I thumbed...42 years ago ------ til I die , will always remember ------------ Thanks Medlocke . Musician. --
One of my favorite songs of all time! Amazing, Medlocke dominates guitar and I love how much he always feels the music. Also amazes me how many people don't even know who Blackfoot is. For those that don't..Man they are missing out on one of the greatest bands ever.
absolutely phenomenal, Medlocke is a beast, I've had the privilege of seeing him with skynyrd several times, also had the privilege of seeing Hughie Thomasson from the outlaws when he was in skynyrd, long live southern rock
It's hard to believe, it was roughly 40 yrs ago, I saw Ricky and the boys for the first time. They warmed up for Foghat! I was worn out by the time Foghat took the stage. Love seeing Ricky now w Skynard, but I sure miss Blackfoot
Could listen to Ricky Rattlesnake sing and pick all day long! This song is to Blackfoot what Freebird is to Skynyrd or Whipping Post is to the Allman Brothers, or Green Grass and High Tides is to the Outlaws.
Saw Blackfoot open for the Who in 1980. Some great mind altering substances that night, but I still remember how Medlocke and the boys got the crowd ready for Townsend and Daltry. Great show!
Hard to tell under all that lush hair but the guitarist is Mark Woerpel with Tim Stunson on bass. Rickey was criticized for hiring these "hard rock" musicians. But I think they are a feast for the ears ........ and eyes
Thanks everyone for supporting my comments! Like I said this has to be one of the greatest ever rock songs , simply stunning! Shame Blackffot never got recognition they deserved , saw them twice in 80's at Castle Donnigton Monster and Knebwoth supporting Deep Purple, so f@@king good!!
Saw original lineup in 82 at Orpheum theater in Boston,MA. 3rd row! Incredible!!Ricky has been in Skynyrd for quite awhile now and I think they should let him do this song! Awesome talent indeed!
Rickey is the best, but I sure do miss him singing. I'm sure Skynyrd must be a sweet deal for him, and I love Skynyrd, but I would love to see him front Blackfoot one more time. God bless Jackson, rest his soul.
There's a CD of the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" featuring Blackfoot that has an amazing version this song that has Kenny Hensley (Uriah Heep) on keyboards doing a solo. Epic!
I saw Blackfoot open for Ted Nugent in NJ in 1981in fact it was Krokus,Blackfoot,Ted amd it was a great show.Blackfoot is an excellent band and Medlocke in my opinion is one of the top 20 guitar players in Rock.
@hiwayman0 Thanks Hiway. I have been looking for the Sweden show for years. I am happy with the quality. Those old concerts were never meant to be on DVD.

Yes! They have returned to blackfoot,check out their new album "Legends never die".
i went to the knebworth fayre in '84 to see the deep purple reunion gig, had never heard of blackfoot before then; these guys stole theshow in my opinion!! how many bands could be this great, and even do wishin well better than free?? awesome!!
I saw this same tour in Germany at small club in Ashaffenburg. I was front row. Met Rickey after the show and he autographed my covers of Strikes,Tomcattin and Skynyrds First and Last.. Cool guy.
By the end of that Tour We ended up opening for them. Lot of road stories from the tour. I worked with the manaement for a bunch of years. Great times. I think this line up is the best line up Blackfoot ever had., Ricky, Mark Woerpel,Tim Stinsun and Benny Rappa-- Hell yea.....
The t-shirt Mark Woerpol (rhythm gtr) is wearing in this video was given to Mark by my boys Frank & Shane and myself at the Buffalo Rose in Golden, Co. The t-shirt was from "The Concert for Colorado" featuring by appearance: Poco, Jefferson Starship, Alro Guthrie, Leon Russell & the Allman Brothers Band. My boys & i performed stage hand assistance, backstage security & photography for 2 days earlier. This concert was sponsored by Governor Roy Romer's folks to help stop gang violence in schools statewide.
@ballerstatus1987 Called southern rock, why don't you just sit back and listen to what a great band created for millions to enjoy. Freebird and Highway song have significant differences, Sure they both start slow and end with a guitar outro, but the lyrics and the guitar remain totally unique.
The bass player is Tim Stinson though I do not know where he is today. Benny Rappa is on drums. He was at one time in White Face and Liz Larin. As much as the original band was great, Mark Woerpel was great to.
@risercurve Sad to hear you bad mouth skynyrd, they sure aint no racists. I love Blackfoot, Skynyrd, Allman brothers etc I love the sound and feeling that is Southern rock, true music straight from and to heart and soul, dont know how you can say thats racist, cant imagine Rickey would ever play with them if so was the case! Peace man
who underrated them then? and the song? I read somewhere that it was very special to get to the hitlist with a 7 minute song and the band is great and surely skynyrd recognized rickey's brilliancy!
electric!....enough said. blackfoot has been and will be among the top,no matter witch vidio, i knoe i spelled the word wrong!...lol sorry i was eating a milkyway! lol,hahahah
Rickey has great tone here as always....just listen to his solo from 5:45 or so on. The other guy however has horrendously bad tone......and kinda kills the vibe because of that for a few moments with his lead at the start of the song.
I have to disagree with you I saw them a few years ago they where special guest to Deep Purple in Dublin and they blew Purples ass of the stage they rocked from begining to end

Top of the line ➕🌄💕🦅
I saw them in Madison Wisconsin at a small bar in the late winter of 92. Great show!! This song still rocks and always will!!!! So does Ricky!
Rickey was one great frontman with Black Foot,saw the original band twice,alot of energy
A Great Southern 🔔 Blackfoot!!!!Medlocke....
surely the most under-rated song ever by one of the greatest under -rated groups
Could listen to Ricky Rattlesnake sing and pick all day long! This song is to Blackfoot what Freebird is to Skynyrd or Whipping Post is to the Allman Brothers, or Green Grass and High Tides is to the Outlaws.
That's for sure!
Sometimes I actually do

Rick the Rattlesnake Medlocke is one of the best badass musicians ever! Saw Blackfoot in a small club in Dundalk,Md in 1990!

Thos were the good old days for sure never again !
So freaking awesome!!

First time I saw Blackfoot was at Florida Jam 1 in 1984. They rocked it then and now.
Never really listened to the lyrics of this song..... it's as good as any road song. Right up there with seager, bon Jovi ect..
Saw these guys in 1982. My God, they were loud. IIRC they supported Frank Marino or the Scorpions. Melodic rock at its finest.
Here we go again in my SUPERBEE kicking ass
Blackfoot's Free Bird!Rickey knew how to get a crowd going!
The t-shirt Mark Woerpol (rhythm gtr) is wearing in this video was given to Mark by my boys Frank & Shane and myself at the Buffalo Rose in Golden, Co.

Amen about them being underrated. Rickey Medlocke owns.

The bass player is Tim Stinson though I do not know where he is today. Benny Rappa is on drums. He was at one time in White Face and Liz Larin.
The other guitar player here is Mark Woerpel. He is also the lead guitarist and lead vocalist for the Band - Warp Drive, out of Detroit.
his birthday is tomorrow same day as me
Love Blackfoot.
In memory of my gusband;baby sending love 2 heaven
Saw backdoor support the scorpions they were superb
OUTSTANDING!!
Must be Karlshamnsfestivalen, Bellevueparken, Karlshamn, Sweden 👍😊

these guys were from my hometown!
Allan Collins' Explorer is at the r&r hall of fame and museum in Cleveland.
EXCELLENT.
R.I.P Jackson Spires..One of the class acts in the biz..So's Rickey.
SOUTHERN ROCKERS,Rock the best...
The bass player is Tim Stinson though I do not know where he is today. Benny Rappa is on drums. He was at one time in White Face and Liz Larin.
As much as the original band was great, Mark Woerpel was great to.
Musicians change bands just like suits change jobs. That is how it goes in life.
Except Led Zeppelin. . . just saying. . .
I hear you loud and clear
should have been a massive band
just great....I see them for a first time...just great....I guees he isd aan one old soul from 80??
ROCK...
I like the 1979 version better... But Ricky is still awesome!!
I need more of these badass tunes any names?❤
sau geil ....
Maybe there best recording Live. But They Sounded and was Way Better Live.
Karlshamn 1994 jag var där

Fuck yet my man!!!!
Rickey is a King!
And simply, one SEXY man, then AND now!
Holy crap!! Is that Yngwie?!?!
Cool, my favorite guitarist onstage with my favorite band!!!!
Ricky Medlocke
Yeehea:-)
Erzähl uns, wie Sie wirklich das Gefühl,
Who is playing 2nd lead ( really 1st) ...is it Mark Woerpel?
I believe so
That is a Gibson Explorer with a korina body
Rickey has great tone here as always....just listen to his solo from 5:45 or so on.
The other guy however has horrendously bad tone......and kinda kills the vibe because of that for a few moments with his lead at the start of the song.
I have to disagree with you I saw them a few years ago they where special guest to Deep Purple in Dublin and they blew Purples ass of the stage they rocked from begining to end
