  • Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, and The CDB New Years Eve "84" in Cincinnati...Now that was a night to remember.....I think.

  • Outlaws was one of the Great Country rock bands. Vote for Ron Paul the ONLY honest man in Politics-OR don't complain if you end up in a FEMA death camp cause you thought you had rights. Christians are under full assault from Islam and Obama.

  • great vintage rock and roll too strong for anyone but true rollers

  • Saw these guys with Blackfoot on New Years Eve '81 at the Bayfront Center in St.Pete. I couldn't have asked for a better show for my very first concert. Saw them every chance I got in the clubs around Tampa after that.Ahhhh, the places a fake ID used to get me into. Those were rockin' days!

  • 4 people did not hear the Gypsys cry........

  • I was lucky enough to see them twice in the late 70's - early 80's, always a great show, fine guitar work there, thanks

  • nothin like southern fried boogie

  • Another great outlaws song.. Like I say, when a band has that many guitars, you know its gonna be good

To you mickey paul i am going to put on my dirtiest cleanest shirt and hurry sundown. toby

  • Fl Guitar army!!! Best there was,Best there is and Best there ever will be!! Long live Southern Rock!!!! Saw them in Concert over 20 times!! RIP Hughie!!!!

  • best guitar band ever!!

  • God, I love this song so. 1977 was the actual year my father was born, if only I was around at that time to see them...

  • Too bad about Billy Paul.

  • My all time favorite band, makes me sad that there gone.

  • The Guitarists 2 Styles and Melodies Blend Like PB&J...Man&Woman.....Burgers&F­ries......Hand&Glove.......Opr­ah&Pork chops!!

  • The best Southern rock band EVER!!!!!!

  • Damn these guys were good. Gone too soon and never really recognized for how good they were.

  • Them boys were bad!

  • Notice that none of these videos from 1977 show Henry Paul to the far right on guitar.

  • @knowMusicMan Henry is not in this video, Freddie Salem is the 3rd guitar.

  • @knowMusicMan henry had left the group shortly before this tour. He formed the superb Henry paul Band. The rhythm guitarist is Freddie Salem.

  • In the old days we called it rockabilly but now adays thats all country,lol.

  • hurrry sundown.

    once an outlaw always an outlaw

  • no one is ever born to late to appreciate the fla gitar army...

    i pray that the "flame" will burn forever...

    once an outlaw always an outlaw

  • For somebody born too late (1983) to enjoy the Outlaws like my father did, thank you for these videos!

  • Why did the video stop playing I'm glad I saw them in the 70's

  • All music should go in one box ... magic whatever 'genre' it comes under.

  • The " Guitar Army ". These guys were so freakin great. It's to bad you don't hear their stuff on the radio as often as you hear Foreigner ( ? ) These guys not only wrote great songs, they KICKED ASS with the music as well.

  • @seapro17 I'm with you on this! I've never seen them live but I have a few of their cds and a signed photo that Henry Paul sent me!

  • as a former member of the group said in an interview

    hughie was mr.outlaw ceo and we were his associates

    hopefully in 2011 we can all remember the man who kept the outlaws and their music alive for so many years

    he loved the fans and we loved him and what a tribute to him it will finally be when his last recorded work is released

    once an outlaw always an outlaw

    godspeed ht

  • This dude looks like Ronnie James Dio

  • Those were the days when bands had real talent.

  • i used to be a stage hand in asbury park n.j we set this band up in the 70s i worked for John Share monark prod. jeffartist

  • I saw them in 1976 opening for Little Feat in Rotterdam, f***ing great!!!!

  • amzing band and song, too bad not too many people my age listen to good music anymore =(

  • I saw them at Chicago Stadium in 77 when they opened for Bad Company. Later that night they showed up at a strip club on Lincoln Ave. where I was hanging out. The waitress knew that I had gone to the show and asked me if they were really the Outlaws. I said they were, and she brought me over to meet them. They asked me if what they were looking for was available at this club, and when I told them no, they left after having a drink with me.

  • Saw the outlaws at Siena College in 1977. I think it was Siena, and I think it was 1977, but I'm sure it was the Outlaws.

  • exelente grupo wn la kago!!

  • Where was this live footage from?

  • poor man's skynyard,not even half as good,

  • @evelskunny only better than Skynyrd

  • please just enjoy the music and Skynrd does not compare the Outlaws are an extremely underrated band sadly

  • @evelskunny Better than Skynyrd....Hughie & Billy were better than any of the Skynyrd guitarists.....Actually Hughie was the best guitarist that Skynyrd ever had.

  • I saw these guys w/ Molly Hatchet in 80 and have loved them ever since. Man I miss the days of general admiission and cheap tickets. I paid $9 to see that concert.

  • 2 of the greatest gits of all time!

    rip billy & hughie, c u on the other side!

  • I met Allison Greene at the Union Club, and this song is hers.

  • The " Florida Guitar Army " never was and never will be a more powerful combo than Hughie and Billy , all the rest couldn't hang with the best. Those two were the heart and soul of the band.Saw them many times.After the loss of Billy they were only half,Hughie and Billy were meant to play as one...We miss you both

  • LOVE THE SONG, SOUND QUALITY IS POOR

  • I liked them best when Henry Paul was with them, back in the day, but the Outlaws without Hughie? That's kinda like Santana without Carlos Santana!

  • Remeber seeing them at the Yucatan Liquor Stand... Awesome, just awesome.

  • good lord what talent gone bye......... this analoge recording cannot suppress the greatness of this band!!!!!!!

  • that was awesome...taken when the song was fresh...the other versions i see at the various casino leave alot to be desired.....

  • I wish there were some videos with Henry Paul. They went down hill after he left/got fired or whatever depending on who's talking. I love the current version. They are an excellent band and have the country feel and harmonies that made the Outlaws first three albums their best.

  • @Jamdor78

    how can you even try to include him with hughie and call him an outlaw...

    i think you mean the henry paul band and the posers...

  • @beachie321 You Damn Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @tracyleewall

    please take a moment 8/13/2010 and remember the commander and chief of the fla guitar army... hugh edward thomasson on his day of birth....my thoughts and prayers to his family friends and fans...godspeed ht

    once an outlaw always an outlaw

  • @beachie321 Just saw you coment on the posers, my god more truth has never been told, they are just an Outlaws cover band. Youll notice theyve changed very little of what hughie and billy wrote, couldnt make it any better. Thanks youve made my day!

  • @1goodguitar how are they posers? Its the same band that ht was with, except now there's a lead singer and some jammin' organ parts.

  • @1goodguitar

    i have come to the realization that the posers are now defending themselves thru the fans they have acquired by deluding themselves into believing that they really are the outlaws and the line-up includes people who were touring with hughie when he passed...all good musicians but sad excuses for human beings mr. paul freely admits that he had no contact with ht from the time he left the band in 2005 now he is mr. outlaw wannabe...thank god ht is not here to see what is going on

  • @beachie321 Its easy to call Henry and Outlaw, he was a band member that helped them get their first record deal, was on the first three albums and one later album. He also spent 15 years of his life touring arenas and shit clubs with The Outlaws. He will always be an Outlaw. Posers! Its the same damn band that toured with HT before he passed away. Youre off your rocker!

  • @tieyourmotherdown1 WOOT!!! I know right! Its CRAZY! The current lineup is awesome.

  • @tieyourmotherdown1 I miss Hughie, but the new line up is fantastic. They are by far the best group of musicians to carry on the Outlaws legacy. I've seen them four times this year and they amaze me every time. The new album called Demos is so good! I'm addicted to it. You can get it on outlawsmusicdotcom. It's the best album I've heard in years. RIP Hughie, Billy & Frank.

  • @littlebighank

    once an outlaw always an outlaw

    or in henry paul's case

    show me the money

  • @beachie321 wah.

  • Respond to this video... 

  • I loved southern rock gowing up in Pittsburgh, PA. That's one reason I moved south (Atlanta) when I got older. Saw Molly Hatchett,  A. R. S. and Dickey Betts in small clubs ---- unforgettable. Hurry Sundown is a great album that holds up over time.

  • @tepawo

  • WOW,great to see this. I still have the LP! Good old record. lol

  • Got a bootleg vid of H.T.,& billy Jones Playint "T for texas"with skynyrd!Sad the more then half the people in the vid are passed!True legends!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @rebelrecording god you guys were great

  • R.I.P. Hughie, the fastest guitarist and smokiest vocalist in the history of Southern Rock

  • Half this band is dead: Bassist, Hughie, Billy.

  • @b24warbaby i guess that happens to a lot of grest artist......good lord ..they would inhale taylor swift!

  • Seen them open up for Badco in June 77 at the Hollywood Sportatorium, Hollywood Fl. They were very good live with the original line up. Seen them at Bicentennial Park in Miami Nov 77 at the Bring'em Back Alive tribute concert for Skynyrd. That's when and where the live album was recorded. Henry Paul had left the band just before that concert to start his failed solo career. RIP Heuy your fans will always remember you and play your music. South Florida loved The outlaws.

  • Is there any biography dvd on the outlaws you can buy??

  • the worlds only rock & roll army....THE OUTLAWS...but i saw skynyrn blow them off the stage in 1974-5 in boston ma. no disrespect at all..love them both..always..

  • Harvey Arnold Dalton lives about ten miles down the road from me. His band is playing tonight at the Fat Frogg in Elon NC. ..........Harvey Dalton Arnold ( Outlaws ) , Kim Shomaker , Darrell Young and Tim Carey !!! The Harvey Dalton Arnold Blues Band with Kim Shomaker will perform @ The Fat Frogg on Feb. 19th for the " Blues Dinner " !!! This band will rock the house , so don't miss it !

  • wow, I didn't think I would find any true Outlaws fans left out there!!!

  • I'm sorry, but no one could rip you a new A-hole like Hughie. Srv with 2 speedballs and a 6-pack of red bull would be late for the nightrain with the rooster tryin' to wake him up early. Steve Gains would have been his perfect match. Someday if we're all good boys and girls, we may get to see something like that.

  • Just the best Rock ever!!!

  • MrOzzbatt........spot on!!!

  • I seen them live at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Ft Lauderdale in June 1977 when they opened up for Bad Company and in Bicentennial Park in Miami in November 1977 when they recorded Bring Them Back Alive, the tribute concert for Lynyrd Skynyrd right after the plane crash. Seeing this video is a trip down memory lane for me. R.I.P. Heuy and Billy, your music will live on and your memories will always remain.

  • Rock stations won't play it (...it's country), Country stations won't play it (...it's rock). Great music...and you can dance to it !!

    Thank you Damulder !!

  • @MrOzzbatt

    its rock and thats all

  • @MrOzzbatt It was to good to play on the radio, it might have melted their station !...

  • @MrOzzbatt You got that right, kinda like POCO... Not Country, Not rock

  • ll I can say is Amen

  • ll I can say is Amen

  • liked this in the 70s great band

  • I was lucky enough to see these guys 5 times and wish I could have seen them more...Hughie was throwin picks and I couldnt get one they kept flying over my head. So I pulled a pick outta my pocket and threw it up to Hughies feet and he stopped picking and handed me his pick...Put it in my palm...Was so awesome...

  • cool 3jackvoodo very cool

  • Grew up on these guys and moved to Tampa in '82 and got to see them all the time. Not to mention the likes of Marshall Tucker and Blackfoot that would come through town and play the clubs. Even got to meet Danny Joe Brown from Hatchet before we lost him before his time.

    Southern Rock, the Best Rock

    Green Grass & High Tides Forever

  • @yuotube19 ANd Sknard and 38 Special Too!! They are still all Family!!

  • @yuotube19 your name is yuotube lol....anyhow, great comment. fully agreed, as a 25 year old munchkin who missed out on the greatness of the 70s.

  • I`m from the South, live in the South, and, The Outlaws, The Allman Bros. Band, Lynard Skynard, and 38 Special are ALL great bands. I`ve seen `em all, and I really don`t have a favorite; just enjoy their music for what it is-fantastic!

  • out of this world!! everytime i go on a holiday trip,this and green grass and high tides are in my player!!

  • I listen to it in the car all the time. :)

  • Llymphs and jjjones, instrumental harmonies weren't invented by rock musicians, and before the Allman Brothers (one of my favorite bands) and Wishbone Ash, country musicians and cavemen were doing it with fiddles and mastadon bones, and even guitars. Are you clowns incapable of listening to music that was recorded before 1965? Hughies and Billy were definitely among the best and tightest guitarists to ever play dual leads, however; I'll grant you that.

    P. S. 38 Special sucked.

  • My best friend's older brother was mixing monitors for the Outlaws, my favorite band, at the Tower Theater in Philly in '77, and I got to meet the band and party with them- super nice guys. As I recall the bass player was only a couple of years older than me. The show was fantastic, as always with the Outlaws. Great memories.

  • Yeah, Harvey Dalton Arnold, the bass player 1976 - 1980 was the youngest band member! I was at the Tower for this gig too.

  • jimmy page and jeff back in the yardbirds were the FIRST dual lead guitars in the "60's...fyi. i saw the outlaws and still love them.

  • Initially Page played bass and then switched to lead guitar...was anything recorded with them playing dual lead guitar?

  • Hearing the stuff that's called music today, I'm so glad that these unbelievable live performances exist. I wasn't just dreaming.

  • There's a chance will never see anything this good again in our lifetimes

  • You are so right! Guitar harmonies like this are only in our memories!

    There will never be a dou as tight as Billy and Hughie, the outlaws were the best!

  • Yes - it was yet another of the great so. rock bands - and still prob my favorite after skynyrd. Just remember that Skynyrd introduced dual leads to the world - something that rarely gets recognition anymore.

    Also that most of these incredible bands came from FL, Outlaws, Hatchet, Skynyrd, et al.......pretty much the exception was the Allman's and CDB - most of the rest of "Southern Rock" came out o' the Sunshine state....

  • Skynyrd was a great band, but Duane Allman and Dickey Betts were playing double leads before Skynyrd even had a record contract.

  • True, but The Outlaws were much better guitarists. Very few could play like HT, very few.

    I can't believe it has been 2 years since his death. Us die hard Outlaw fans will always be playing GG&HT from BBA on the date of his death and always at 6pm pacific time. Please join us.

  • Great song by Hughie but what really did it for me was Billy Jones on lead guitar, he was great....incredible team, the only guitar duo better was Duane Allman and Dickey Betts.

  • My favorite was Allen Collins and Steve Gaines or tripling with Gary Rossington

  • The Otlaws are my band!! I saw them over 20x in the 8o's...the guitar army. I had an amazing poster of them I got at a record store, I proudly displayed it in my bedroom. I could airjam for hours to this!

  • Mica: 80 Giants stadium, thunderstorms, and people crushing for exits.. cleared up and right in the first chorus of green grass the skies broke and we all looked up and like silly 80s people, we felt the mud, etc.

  • So right Patty, I was there in 80...It was called the Round up & Featured Boston...poco...Todd Rungren & The Outlaws..Whats amazing is i would move to spring hill/ Brooksville, Fl in 1985 & all these years later, Billy Jones would live here too & take his own life here & Huge would also live here in my town.

  • Leftie - I was at the Roundup as well...the bands were the Outlaws, Allman Brothers, 38 Special, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels..in 1981

  • I still have the flyer from this show!! It was great.

  • Hey robabe1, awesome! hold on to that, What a great piece of history, Wish I had one. great show that day, man I wish I could go back. I was 17 years old & had a great sexy girlfriend there with me. We drank wine all day & smoked some Blonde hash & after the show we had great sex in my 1970 Green chevy nova. One of the best days of my life!!!! Nothing better,

  • @RoBabe1 Hang on to it buddy!

  • And that's how it's done boys and girls! Southern guitar army at its best- Billy's Les Paul and Hughie's Strat having a conversation!

  • awesome footage

  • No biker forrest preserve party was complete without this rockin party band, AHHhhh those rockin 70's!

  • I was i college at USF from 73-77...the outlaws played all the local joints and just plained rocked whether it was 10 cent beer or ladies night...they were the best and were always professional...great memories here!

  • You shut up. lol

  • No doubt and Billy Jones was one of the most underated in the Southern Rock era.

    Billy, Hughie, SRV and Jimmy God calls all the greats home. Laws' live!!

  • Probably the most underrated band of all time. Hughie was one of the best guitarists of all time. RIP.

  • The Florida Guitar Army will never die. Rock on guys.

  • Nothing tops "The Outlaws" in my books. My favorite band by far. R.I.P. Billy, Frank, and Hughie.

  • This song, Angels Hide, Ghost Riders and One Last Ride are my favorites. Losing Hughie flattened me emotionally. They always take the good ones early.

  • I agree. Frank was a very musical bassist and Henry kept the music part of rock and roll music intact. When they left the band strayed from the country rock sound that was its identity. Harvey Dalton Arnold is a fine bassist and a good singer though. This clip also has Dave Dix on the second drums. Dix was the original drummer, before Monte.

  • Both guitarists Hughie and Billy dead now...never knew the story about Billy's suicide, why would he do that?

  • Its also a tragic fact that Billy Jones and Frank Okeefe died just a few days apart.

  • Yes I think 2 weeks. I didn't mention Frank because he had left the group before this clip. Outlaws were not the same for me without Henry Paul fronting them. Henry, Hughie, Billy, Frank and Monte on drums was the best lineup, IMO

  • I once worked on their A/C unit in Odessa, Fl. were they grew up.

  • "Southern Rock is a redundant term, its like saying Rock Rock"  -Duane Allman

  • Yep!

  • They never had the same noteriety here in England as their contemporaries like Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. And that my friends is a crime. Great music great band. Makes you proud to be an American even though I'm not one.

  • well said, cousin.

  • I still don't get that Hughie is gone :(

  • my mom in law has a ring that Dusty Roads gave her aunt

  • @bsmama122007 your mom has a ring that MT gave her aunt? Wow thats cool.

  • So my honest to God birth name is Sundown. My whole life I've wanted something, anything with my name in it.

    Now I've got the coup de gra. A theme song.

  • ...congratulations

    you have something to live up to: one of the most awesome outlaw/cowboys out there

  • Nice!

  • These guys played at a bar I worked at in '78 sometime. Played under a different name as they had some issues with their record label. The Buffalo Roadhouse at Buffalo and Himes in Tampa - I think. Same night Dusty Rhodes also sang with them. Oh, the good old days.

  • The Outlaws were more or less the "house band" at a beer joint called "Shenanigans" on North Nebraska Ave, in Tampa, FL during 1973-1974. The place used to have 50 cent pitchers of beer several nights a week. I think the cover charge was a dollar. Some serious partying from what little I can remember.

  • This music puts me in the mood for a doober and a JD on the rocks.

  • Saw the 'Outlaws/Molly Hatchet' tour many times in Florida in the late '70s. Fort Myers florida 1979....ahhh those were the days.

  • I was at many of those shows myself. Great music, great energy. These bands rocked out but never forgot the music in music.

  • luv is so green...& high tide help k

  • I seen them In July of 07 in Clearwater, Florida.Coachman Park fourth of July..Kick ass, it was great.....

  • so lucky I have not seen them in 20 years!

  • hughie may be gone but Henry paul was pretty good with them live at the fair

  • my favorite style of music is heavy metal but nothing they can ever create will come close to being this awsome everything sounds good from the vocals to the guitar!

  • me too bro im all out heavy metal but something about this shit just cant be done today

  • Haunting lyrics!!!

  • I love this song. It gives me chills :P

  • Got to meet the band three times in the 70's great band, and the members were the best, got photos with group and alblums signed, we even shaded a beer with them. ROCK ON!!!!!!

  • HUGHIE! You are missed. What a great player! Rest in peace brother...

  • What a great band and very underrated. I had the fortunate opportunity to see them live in the 70's at Oakland, Ca stadium.

    Cupertino, Ca

  • rip hughie saw you at penn's peak.

  • I love the solos in this tune. AMZAING.

  • Who is singing in this?

  • Hughie Thomasson

  • they sounded alot like blackfoot

  • A great band that sounds nothing like blackfoot. This band had it's own identity.

  • right on dude
