Wow - That is a lot of concerts / I think Ted has played about 7000 shows- ( I have played about 1000 in the 80’s but after expenses - It was my day job that saved me
Yes. I just attended Tesla again. Once every year in my city for thirty eight years. Ted played maybe ten times. Ted please give us a show in Colorado Springs. We have a brand new 8k venue.
I was there. The old Volunteer Jams were the best...the only one you knew was going the there for sure was Charlie Daniels Band...everybody else was a surprise. Over the years saw James Brown, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ted Nugent, Link Wray, Carl Perkins, Willie Nelson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, all the Southern Rock guys...so many more, great memories!
Yes exceptional guitarist and superb showman and entertainer....and his views now on what's happening in our society are worth listening to as well....
@@ababner317 I agree with the fact nugent just has ever played rocking good music..and his political views shouldn't be considered in his induction to hall of fame....and I share his political views too
Ya never know, I've read articles where he says he'll have a glass of wine w dinner. But still, he's very clean, except for what he did to all of those young girls....
@@scottsanders2641... All of WHAT little girls?? Ah... you're one of those idiots that buys into anything that anybody tells them... especially the media... Go get a life loser 🖕🤣
Back before he went big he jammed with people I know and they swear he partied with them, but that was a very long time ago. I love the Nuge no matter what.Hell I expermented when I was young.
@@richardtaylor8595 He drank beer and puked once, never touched it again, he never did any drugs. He does drink a glass of wine with his dinner sometimes. But totally drug free his whole life.
Not to take away 8:28 from his stage prowess, but if you look immediately after his leap, I think he went from drum riser to the piano. Still impressive! After all, Ted did “come to rock our asses”.
Seen him 2X and he never disappoints. Got tickets to see him again this Summer. The energy level is always off the charts with Uncle Ted! And NOBODY plays louder than Ted. NOBODY!
I loved the respect for the backup singers at the end. To bring them to himself like that shows that he's not a greedy performer and truly appreciated their performance...that to me was the best part of the show...class...
We were at Summer Jam 77 in Kansas City's Royals Stadium with REO Speedwagon and a host of others!!!!!! I do not know why I am not deaf!!! That Nugent set could be heard 5 miles from the Stadium, know that because Friends of ours said they set on their Porch and Listened!!!!!!!!!
@@JerryRiceBall .... I grew up in and around Kansas City... Spent 11.5 years in Chanute, Kansas after Tech School and then transferred to Kentucky!! Don't Think I am the same one!!! Never played Semi Pro, No!
@@karlriley9274 Are You sure it wan't Arrowhead stadium??? I was there I was not deaf after the show, but i kept sayin' to everyone "Would you speak up minnie mouse I can't hear you!!!
I remember watching this with the in-laws and their neighbors. They all knew I loved Ted, so they watched. Everyone really liked it. They were like, man so much energy.
78 and 81 got the pleasure seeing this beast of a rocker .. Everyone has there favorite Six stringer. Some love Jimmi , some love Chuck Berry , others love Eddie Van Halen .. The Detriot City Mad man is my choice . Btw. All those mentioned are 5⭐️ . No disrespect to anyone's personal choices . All fantastic
Eddie is and will always be my number 1, but I always tell everyone uncle Ted is in my top 5 underrated guitarist of all time. Doesn’t get the respect he deserves
TheNUGE had a true jungle sound. urban jungle, if you like. it's a Detroit thing, but it's a Ted thing. you can't work on something purely intrinsic. and his sound is intrinsically dangerous like a fucking jungle. my Dad used to call R&R ''jungle music'', and in Ted's case , it's a compliment.
I created a band in my head, Ted is the guitarist and he plays like Van Halen but with some fusion skills. Singer is Mike Tramp, but the voice of Jimi Jamison and Gillan combined. My super band plays in my head, i like that. Juan Croucier on bass.
I saw him in Southampton UK, when I was 12, He came on stage on a Tarzan Rope, I think it was Wango Tango Tour, it was my second concert, kind of set me up for the rest of my life. He gives us Limeys shit but loves us really......
“Nugent said he avoided being drafted into the Vietnam War in 1967 by dropping his own personal hygiene and dabbling in drugs to appear like a hobo. “I got my physical notice 30 days prior to [being drafted],” Nugent told High Times. “Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin,’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up.” Nugent continued, “Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death. Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. Poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.” Nugent also explained that he was typically “extremely anti-drug” but “I snorted some crystal methedrine” in order to avoid the draft, which is ironic considering his long-held stance on drugs. “
When schools re-open I think this should be required viewing for all students to teach them what music is. No pre-recorded bs, just musicians playing instruments and singing along. It takes a band not a tape machine kids.
Saw Ted the first time there in 1976..had the best seat in Municipal Auditorium..the Mezzanine..dead center. He was so loud that I couldn't hear properly for a week. His screams were sometimes louder than his guitar!
Thanks so much for transferring this onto TH-cam - I've been looking for this footage of the Nuge rockin' at Charlie's Volunteer Jam from '85 on here for years. I had it on an old VHS tape & I literally wore it out....
I saw him about 17 years ago and he came on stage with two 50 cal machine guns set up on opposite sides of the stage. I took a chance and stayed for the show.
Here’s a guy who who grew up in crazy Detroit M. He took lead guitar 🎸 to a whole different level. I’m blessed I saw him in Springfield Ma twice, people went nuts! I guess that’s why his tour was called Gonzo. He has helped so many so let’s never forget the almighty Detroit Madman, Ted Nugent. We miss u Ted and heaven has a place for you....The rock-roll hall of fame can s it! Lmol.
My first concert was uncle ted Aerosmith Rick derringer and edger winter. Wow. Thirty years later he still had it. Ted opens for Zz top and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I here he ain’t a bad shot with a Mathews rather. Ther should be a bronze statue in Detroit
Volunteer Jam was a big deal in Nashville back in those days. Municipal Auditorium is a shrine. Everybody and I mean everybody played there. Still go by the place sometimes and think back of my youth standing in line for doors to open. Aww man what good times !
So so true!!! Was so far gone seeing Kiss in 84 asked the same cop on the corner where to park 3 different times...Last time he said" boy, in gonna tell you 1 more time, next time ur ass is in metro jail for the night." Ended up parking down there in the bottom by channel 5.lol...didn't want to go around municipal again, Hell no.........
@Stormy&Syd’s life if it stops them being drafted and killed in a war the country shouldn't be involved in, sure. Vietnam fuckin' sucked and he did the right thing. Fuck that war and respect to the dodgers who had some sense to get out of it.
My first time seeing Ted was "79' scorpions open for Ted ,Ted open for ac/dc on the Highway to Hell Tour (Bon Scott). Tickets $8.50 in the OLd Market Sq. Arena, Indy
I remember that tour. Saw the same 3 acts in Cincinnati, Ohio when Scorpions first came to America. Probably the best concert ever including Bon Scott. Thanks for the comment. This 3 act concert was also before the Cincinnati Who concert tradgedy so we still could enjoy general admission seating back then. I also remember that Derek St. Holmes did the majority of singing for Ted Nugent. Ted sang Cat Scratch Fever, of course, along with several other classic Nugent songs. - 1979! - 🌐
yoshe yoshe I saw that tour in NYC at Madison Square Garden. AC/DC with Bon opened for Ted. Not the other way around. Great show. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
I find him very inspiring In that regard. I'm 39 in 4 months but still dress like I did in the 90s. Not saying it's a good thing - I'm a product of my times. Rock and roll keeps you young imo.
i remember Ted rockin the old Cow palace with ZZTop sf mid '76 jumping off 3 sets of Marshall stacks like nothing and breaking into stranglehold. awesome., wow what a show he put on almost blew away ZZTop on stage ! seen ted a few times or if memory serves, a few too many times, 70's party hardy! lol
Ted finally layed this one down almost 30 years later with Sammy Hagar on vocals in 2014 on his "Shutup & Jam" CD. I wish he would have chosen Derek St. Holmes to sing it. I have this performance on VHS and thank you for uploading this.
I had been telling my in-laws about Ted. Then this was on TV. We were at the in-laws house. The neighbors were over ,when this came on. I was all smiles. Everyone loved it. They were all like , man that is incredible.
Only Ted could walk onto that stage full of "good old boys" in those stretchy pants and pull it off... The Skoal commercial about "little packets of pleasure" is freaking hilarious...
@Bret Houston Tube. Only Ted could wear that loin cloth and those white, bell bottom lycra pants. The metal fleck knit sweater, with the stretchy pants and sneakers are pure Ted. The man was his own stylist.
This was my first time seeing this I thought what the he’ll never in my wildest days did I dream of this frigging awesome wild beyond my dreams. Brilliant pulling that off
I respect Angus greatly but he doesn't move around that much today. He starts the show animated but by the 4th or 5th song he has slowed considerably. Old age gets all of us. Zal Moxis if 6ft tall and still playing at 69 is decrepit to you why don't you challenge Nugent to a fight the next time you see him?
I remember seeing this performance on a VHS videotape not long after it was broadcast, as my dad (1937-2006) had recorded it from TV. Somehow the videotape got lost over time, so I'm grateful to the person who posted this! I remember how the performances preceding it were more country-ish and laid back (which is cool)... then this MANIAC comes roaring onto the stage and amps things up quite a bit... GLORIOUS!!! (LOVE the stealthy entrance! Clever touch) Dad and I LOVED this performance... ah, memories!
Saw Ted perform, about 1 week before The Amboy Dukes released Journey to Center of the mind album. In a bar, in Ann Arbor. Sat on the floor, in front of the stage. Ask him about Stanly Andrews. The PA company owner, and amp modifier of his Twin Amps. I'm the guy that dis assembled and re assembled those amps at Stanly's ranch. Stanly did the soldering stuff. Used to stand on the sidewalk, on State Street, Ann Arbor Mich.; and listen to Ted practice riffs, etc. Yea, he was indoors, but easy to hear outside !
I saw Theodore in'82,83 in Dallas,then Houston.Lookee here in Houston Ted,Sammy Hagar and Ric Emerett of Triumph messed over Styx in the Texxas Jam '83..Sammy had those two jam on LZ's Whole Lotta Love.They blew the roof off the Astrodome especially when the first three chords,crowd went wild.
Saw him when he was on fire in 76 loud af ...2 hour show with all those fender dual showman's before he retired them....never heard any guitar that loud, couple days my hearing new it 2...saw him late 80's wasnt the same but saw him twice with Damn Yankees and he was back!!
Nuge is one of the best guitar players ever! And the only reason he’s not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (except thru Amboy Dukes) is because of his politics. But that’s okay Motor City Madman. Stay true to what you believe like you always have. I saw him in 1977 @ Anaheim Stadium with Lynyrd Skynyrd and it was a helluva show! He’s one of the best.
I've seen close to 1,200 concerts in my life and Ted is in my top 5 of all time..
Absolutly correct
Wow - That is a lot of concerts / I think Ted has played about 7000 shows- ( I have played about 1000 in the 80’s but after expenses - It was my day job that saved me
Yes. I just attended Tesla again. Once every year in my city for thirty eight years. Ted played maybe ten times. Ted please give us a show in Colorado Springs. We have a brand new 8k venue.
Got to see Ted Nugent many times in the late 70s early 80s. Always a great show. It's easy to forget how popular he was back then.

You got that right!
Ted Nugent, a true American. Love you Ted
Yes Love TED Nugget ✌️✌️✌️
Ted Nugent is the most underrated guitarist ever. I suppose because of his outspokenness.
Underrated, that's funny as hell,I've always known of Ted being one of the best.
Yes exceptional guitarist and superb showman and entertainer....and his views now on what's happening in our society are worth listening to as well....
@@mariapyrc6862 He meant not being inducted into the Rock-n-Roll hall of fame because of his political views.
@@ababner317 I agree with the fact nugent just has ever played rocking good music..and his political views shouldn't be considered in his induction to hall of fame....and I share his political views too
It’s not just because of him being outspoken. It’s because he’s outspoken for things that the mainstream find too “conservative” in values.
What’s so amazing is that Ted has the energy of 5 guys on stage and it’s all 100% drug free..he doesn’t even drink alcohol
Ya never know, I've read articles where he says he'll have a glass of wine w dinner. But still, he's very clean, except for what he did to all of those young girls....
Your Damn Right !! 100 percent Nuge 😁
Ted drinks his fair share of alcohol, he's not the squeaky clean poster boy that you've dreamed up in your fantasy world.

All him! No speed, no alcohol, no coke, no pot, no nothing. Just natural crazy Ted.
Back before he went big he jammed with people I know and they swear he partied with them, but that was a very long time ago. I love the Nuge no matter what.Hell I expermented when I was young.
@@richardtaylor8595 He drank beer and puked once, never touched it again, he never did any drugs. He does drink a glass of wine with his dinner sometimes. But totally drug free his whole life.
@Guy Tar I am as well, There is a world of difference in CBD's and THC, CBD's are GOOD FOR YA! THC is nothing but a worthless by product of hemp.
i just wonder how good he'd be on heroin???????????
@@wesnorthcutt639 Musicians and minds greater then Ted beg to differ, friend.
I’m sorry, I know he’s young and fit and all that, but Ted leaps on to that piano like it was a foot tall. The balls on this guy were incredible.
Not to take away 8:28 from his stage prowess, but if you look immediately after his leap, I think he went from drum riser to the piano.
Still impressive! After all, Ted did “come to rock our asses”.
He’s 37 here he was born in 1948
🥶I was there this night and it was a cold, freezing, night in Tennessee,I was 17 and ♥️ loving it,it was a great show
It's an absolutely disgusting crime that Ted Nugent is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Because uncle Ted will not play effing ball with nobody and I mean nobody

Never a dull moment with uncle Ted. Rock on motor madman!
Seen him 2X and he never disappoints. Got tickets to see him again this Summer. The energy level is always off the charts with Uncle Ted! And NOBODY plays louder than Ted. NOBODY!
Agreed especially about his loudness, seen him at the Orange Pavillion in San Bernardino Ca in 1981...my ears are still ringing 🤘🏾
I saw him in Germany a year before this performance while I was in the Army. What a great show!
I loved the respect for the backup singers at the end. To bring them to himself like that shows that he's not a greedy performer and truly appreciated their performance...that to me was the best part of the show...class...

Cast of Ted Nugent I grew up with right there it don't get any better than that God love it man
Ted will always be one of my favorites in this here is a good reason why!
Ted is the Perfect Rock and Roll model for America
For the whole damn planet earth maybe
You ain't a shittin
I didn’t realize he had “modeled professionally” before?
I seen Ted 4 times in my day. He never gets old. In fact the guy sounds flat out great every time .
Saw him for the 12th time last July - Just knocked our socks off again.
40 times and counting !!!!!!!!!!! The most versatile guitar player out there !!!!!!!!THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!

Nugent junkie...
I guess you are right! Never thought about it before! lol
He played mid-day at the first Texas jam I ever went to, anyone there who didn't know who he was certainly did after!😎
Love me some uncle Ted. He rocks. Plays all kinds of music and kicks ass doing so.
He wasn't Uncle Ted yet in this video.

Uncle Ted puts on one hell of a show
My first concert was Ted Nugent/STYX in 1976 life changing!
My first concert was uncle ted Aerosmith Rick derringer and edger winter. Wow. Thirty years later he still had it. Ted opens for Zz top and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I here he ain’t a bad shot with a Mathews rather. Ther should be a bronze statue in Detroit
And then 12 years later Ted and Tommy end up in Dam Yankees together. So ironic!
Just to think that 20 or so years later the Ted and Styx's Tommy Shaw would team up to form Damn Yankees.
@@jjkhawaiian : more like 12 years later. DY had albums out in 1988.
My first concert was Ted and Uriah Heep. Toronto June 1977...
I don't want to be here in 2019. Take me back to 1985 with Uncle Ted.....and leave me there.
Volunteer Jam was a big deal in Nashville back in those days. Municipal Auditorium is a shrine. Everybody and I mean everybody played there. Still go by the place sometimes and think back of my youth standing in line for doors to open. Aww man what good times !
David Digital I second that. I’ve seen some smokin shows there.

Ended up parking down there in the bottom by channel 5.lol...didn't want to go around municipal again, Hell no.........
Still have every ticket of every concert that I've been to at the Municipal
Ted in his prime, it doesn’t get any better. Kids if you wanna learn how to be a rock ‘n’ roll showman watch lots of Ted Nugent
@Stormy&Syd’s life if it stops them being drafted and killed in a war the country shouldn't be involved in, sure. Vietnam fuckin' sucked and he did the right thing. Fuck that war and respect to the dodgers who had some sense to get out of it.
He's not underrated. He's among the very best 🦉➕🌄👽🇺🇸😺🦅
One word to describe Ted, Badass!
JCA that boy can spank a plank...and still rocking strong today!!! YEAH UNCLE TED!!!!!!
My first time seeing Ted was "79' scorpions open for Ted ,Ted open for ac/dc on the Highway to Hell Tour (Bon Scott). Tickets $8.50 in the OLd Market Sq. Arena, Indy
Memories....
I saw him in 1979 or 1980 if I remember correctly Head East opened for Ted in Green Bay same $8.50 for a general admission ticket.
AC DC blew his dumbass back to Detroit id imagine. Bon Scott had more rock in his big toe than Nugent ever had
I remember that tour. Saw the same 3 acts in Cincinnati, Ohio when Scorpions first came to America. Probably the best concert ever including Bon Scott. Thanks for the comment.

this is the real Rock N Roll guitar sound
Ted Nugent does probably best show/concert i have ever seen bar none He is a master guitarist and tons of talent!!
He was 37 here. I'm 30 and I want his energy and metabolism.
I find him very inspiring In that regard. I'm 39 in 4 months but still dress like I did in the 90s. Not saying it's a good thing - I'm a product of my times. Rock and roll keeps you young imo.
No shit man

he wears a guitar out and has a ball doing it, he plays every song like he has a bad case of "Cat Scratch Fever"
She's Gone has shown up on recorded album in 2014 Shut Up And Jam. Strange to hear him play it in 1985.
Ted finally layed this one down almost 30 years later with Sammy Hagar on vocals in 2014 on his "Shutup & Jam" CD. I wish he would have chosen Derek St. Holmes to sing it. I have this performance on VHS and thank you for uploading this.
OScaleAmtrak I kinda wish he sang it like in this performance
Thank You. I googled it and found the same on Shut Up and Jam.
I don't know who's on that piano but they are killing it
That's Joel "Taz" Digregorio. He was Charlie's keyboard player for over 40 years until his untimely death in an auto accident.

One of the BEST !! I like Uncle Ted the hunter !!
I saw Uncle Ted at the Texas Jam Cotton Bowl 1985.
I had been telling my in-laws about Ted. Then this was on TV. We were at the in-laws house. The neighbors were over ,when this came on. I was all smiles. Everyone loved it. They were all like , man that is incredible.
I was there. I was 18 years old . Good times
He didn't go woke, he went full frontal attack. Great person, great guitarist. Listen to the attack in his play. Sound instead of most notes per beat.
Only Uncle Ted knows how to crash a party and get it cranked up
To Ted , Rock and Roll is a full contact event. Man , feel the electricity.

Always a Crowd Pleaser!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ted Nugent is the sexiest rocker of ever. I'm serious.Thank you
Only Ted could walk onto that stage full of "good old boys" in those stretchy pants and pull it off...
The Skoal commercial about "little packets of pleasure" is freaking hilarious...
@Bret Houston Tube. Only Ted could wear that loin cloth and those white, bell bottom lycra pants. The metal fleck knit sweater, with the stretchy pants and sneakers are pure Ted. The man was his own stylist.
One of a two vids I've seen of Ted (Cat Scratch Fever) and I'm really impressed!! Wished I'd paid more attention to him then . . . 😖
Excellent Uncle Ted... !!
So great to see Charlie Daniels again!! Ted, off the hook, as usual!!
GREAT JAM!!!!
2019 tour at Pine Knob, he still rocks with undeniable energy. Is absolutely insane
This was my first time seeing this I thought what the he’ll never in my wildest days did I dream of this frigging awesome wild beyond my dreams. Brilliant pulling that off
Saw Ted in 1975 at the Aragon ballroom in Chicago bought a guitar the next day never put it down love to jam out to his stuff to the day
That Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion sounding damn near as good as his Byrdlands. Surprised he didn't play them more.
Is that what he was playing? Did I notice a Gibson style TP-6 fine tuner tailpiece?
Uncle Ted Owns IT!
Seen him way back in the day. 1976 way back right but it was awesome. I was 16.
Same here in 76 at philly spectrum opening band was starz
What rocker puts that much energy into their performances today?
Angus Young. Every show. That's who.
He's a decrepit little old man these days.....`
I respect Angus greatly but he doesn't move around that much today. He starts the show animated but by the 4th or 5th song he has slowed considerably. Old age gets all of us.
Zal Moxis if 6ft tall and still playing at 69 is decrepit to you why don't you challenge Nugent to a fight the next time you see him?
@@scott9107 I bet you're an expert on day got ass jeans.peter pumper.
Bassist of the Disaster has a energy that is way above all of todays band's. Like good old times but on a fuckin new level for sure.
Ted just consumes the whole stage...
I remember seeing this performance on a VHS videotape not long after it was broadcast, as my dad (1937-2006) had recorded it from TV. Somehow the videotape got lost over time, so I'm grateful to the person who posted this! I remember how the performances preceding it were more country-ish and laid back (which is cool)... then this MANIAC comes roaring onto the stage and amps things up quite a bit... GLORIOUS!!! (LOVE the stealthy entrance! Clever touch) Dad and I LOVED this performance... ah, memories!
And that part around 4:15 where he jumps up on the piano -- classic Nuge!
Breaking news... I FOUND THE MISSING VHS VIDEOTAPE!!!!
He's our Uncle Ted..God Bless the USA!
the way he is doing all the effects with his picking hand like dive bombs is crazy !!! he can pick with anyone -really on top of his game here
That was the best Charlie Daniel's show I've ever seen in my life. period.
Also how the hell did he jump on top of that piano with a guitar in his hand holy mackerel!
Go shit yo pants
Looked pretty smooth huh? He used to routinely jump off his amps. Now he has knee replacements and wishes he'd kept that to a minimum.
Ted Nugent is a real rock star great guitarist!
Saw Ted perform, about 1 week before The Amboy Dukes released Journey to Center of the mind album. In a bar, in Ann Arbor. Sat on the floor, in front of the stage. Ask him about Stanly Andrews. The PA company owner, and amp modifier of his Twin Amps. I'm the guy that dis assembled and re assembled those amps at Stanly's ranch. Stanly did the soldering stuff. Used to stand on the sidewalk, on State Street, Ann Arbor Mich.; and listen to Ted practice riffs, etc. Yea, he was indoors, but easy to hear outside !
Always a great showman.
Thank you Amy Grant...And now Ted Nugent...Fucking classic!
I saw Theodore in'82,83 in Dallas,then Houston.Lookee here in Houston Ted,Sammy Hagar and Ric Emerett of Triumph messed over Styx in the Texxas Jam '83..Sammy had those two jam on LZ's Whole Lotta Love.They blew the roof off the Astrodome especially when the first three chords,crowd went wild.
Ned Nugent pure legend of the highest order Greetings from England 🏴👍
Saw him when he was on fire in 76 loud af ...2 hour show with all those fender dual showman's before he retired them....never heard any guitar that loud, couple days my hearing new it 2...saw him late 80's wasnt the same but saw him twice with Damn Yankees and he was back!!
Nuge is one of the best guitar players ever! And the only reason he’s not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (except thru Amboy Dukes) is because of his politics. But that’s okay Motor City Madman. Stay true to what you believe like you always have. I saw him in 1977 @ Anaheim Stadium with Lynyrd Skynyrd and it was a helluva show! He’s one of the best.
What a legend 🤩
Hall of Famer...Period!
