I went to see this concert in Hartford, CT, in September 1992--the Headhunters and Billy Ray Cyrus. What a wild night. Part of the barrier broke between Cyrus and his fans, and it was all his security could do to keep him from being mobbed.
My first time catching this cover of "Spirit In The Sky," and I just love it when a band not only OWNS the cover they're doing, but do it justice at the same time!
The Headhunters will be in RICH HILL MISSOURI FOR "THE FAMOUS FOR THE 4th" CELABRATION OF JULY 2012 IN A FREE CONCERT IN THE WEST PARK AND FIREWORKS AFTERWARDS. IF YOU HAVE NO PLANS PLAN ON BEING IN RICH HILL FOR OUR 2012 4th OF JULY
Anthem for Vietnam veterans. When my brother passed in 2008 he had requested this song at his funeral also. Just saw the Headhunters today and the drummer did a 15 minute solo. These guys have been at it for 35 years and still going strong.
Happy birthday Eric Danielson of Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Rock n roll till the end.
RIP June 3rd 1952 - July 2nd 2010 ( motorcycle crash )
He died doing what he loved. As weird as it sounds, he would have refused to die any other way then on his Harley with his snakeskins on cruising the empty, traffic free roads to the Yukon.
Saw these guys at Cheyenne Frontier days, probably right around 92', this stage setup and the guys look exactly like I remember it. These guys are cool. I usually hate country music. lol
Any suggestions? I can't quit replaying this and it might be that drummer's beat. I really need to quit coming back to this and playing it over and over. I have to stop this!
it like a slower version of la grange by zz top

I think his voice is very underrated. He had(s) a very good rock and roll voice. Held up very well live.
