Blackfoot - Dust My Broom/Fly Away (live '82)

[722erodz]

BEST SOUTHERN ROCK BAND EVER!!!!

[countrysamurai]

Holy Shit...I have been a fan of theirs since '79...have seen them 5 times in concert.

They are still, hands down, the best live act I have ever seen.

And still...I get goose bumps listening to Rickey sing the Blues.

Damn they were good...so very good!

[squashedtomato]

Now Jackson Spires is gone :-(, in lieu of a reunion that will never be now-they should remaster all their music...

Cant believe they've not done it already...

[scottedgell2]

@squashedtomato

Unless things with Medlocke and Greg change, will not happen. I wish too but to much water over the bridge to mend fences.

[foreverrandyrhoads]

I got this concert on DVD - massive !

[wholelottadc]

@foreverrandyrhoads whats the dvd called? wouldn't mind gettin hold of that.

[foreverrandyrhoads]

@wholelottadc : not an official DVD; I guess this concert was on Swiss TV and some dude recorded it on tape who put it on DVD later on

[wholelottadc]

@foreverrandyrhoads pity, i'd love to have this in my collection. ricky needs to go back to blackfoot...

[wederell1]

Highway Song is without doubt one of the ll time great rock songs!! God bless ya Jakson...R.I.P.

[DonTerhune1200cc]

Thanx for posting. Was great stepping back into time for few moments.

Now it's time to step back out of it. What a drag.

[OrAnOxBaRaToNeZ]

Saw them at Knebworth in 84 in an electric storm,what a great band, should have been bigger than they were.

[gunit763]

"You're tired of workin, feels like for nothing, why can't we all live for today?

Friends of mine wanna by me a drink, so loaded now, hell, I can't even think..."

Great band , great medley. Anybody know if this footage is available on DVD?

[Tool19672]

I Say Hell Yeah ! These Guys Freakin Rock Your Ass Off...!  Many Great Memories Of BlackFoot At several party's ...!

[supportsouthernrock1]

I love ZZ Top's version of this. Blackfoot did a great job though.

[thespeckler]

thanks for putting some great old video of blackfoot on the tube.

[merishane]

fuck'n awesome song by a great southern rock band !!!! csc/10

[HesleyCapey]

This is just one hell of a band. Marauder is my fav also. I am -76 and from northern europe. Yes, underrated it might be. But, people listen to charts, not *music*.

[imaxeman69]

Man, I miss seeing this band live. I've seen them a couple times and even had the privilege of opening for them once. Great guys. Great party.

[50bambam]

i was a roadie for blackfoot in the 80's I can tell you they were and are among the baddest M.F. rockers on earth,

[mightyhighrocks]

We need to hear your stories!

[bowslap]

I can only imagine the stories you could tell...this band didn't get the recognition at home that they should have. No, we get stuck with fucking hair metal Bon Jovi crap instead......bah!

[Tool19672]

@50bambam dont happen to know of a guy they called "Tree" treebob.

[basenjib123]

These guys were so f##cking underrated its sickening. Listen to this, then compare the shit called music of today.

[Tool19672]

@basenjib123 BlackFoot Freakin Jams .... They Rocked Me Many Times & people Would Always say who is that??? i would be like Duh... Blackfoot Man...! Rock On...

[pistolpaul21]

I was in a music store in Memphis in 1980 and they were playing Wishing Well off of Strikes, and I've loved Blackfoot ever since...Great Song

[ggblueam]

Elmore James would be proud of Blackfoot's rendition of his song!

[rogerstill71]

@ggblueam Robert Johnson would be prouder - HE wrote the song, not Elmore

[HarryMuffUk]

God I'm pissed off I missed the 70s...

[Happybiopower]

Sounds great with or without coffee intoxication.

[Georgie1954]

I remember this great group--used to see them play at the community center in stirling, and elsewhere in new jersey in the early 70's. They were my favorite group and saw them so many times and Ricky is a great guy.

[keefek]

Blackfoot: a truly fine band that never got the attention they deserved.

[mailman32212]

great song!!!!!!!!!!!! i love his stuff from skynyrds first and last too! talented!!!!!!!!!!!

[mailman32212]

anyone now if ricky plays any blackfoot when skynyrd plays??????????

[Hurriken42]

I saw this tour in Nuremberg Germany, They opened for The Scorpions. They even played one song together. I had seen them once the same summer as well at an Open air .38 Special was there as well. They opened up and we were in the front against the stage. Medlocke was slapping our hands! I know, big deal, but I had fun!

[micanut48]

This great band opened for cocksuckers like Scorpions? Unbelievable...Ricky has one of the most distinguished voices in rock music. I adore their Marauder album the most. Must have heard it thousand times...that's about 999 times more than Scorpions!

[publykanimal9]

i am with you my brother...marauder is about as badass as it can get. i wish people today knew or know what blackfoot did. what an unreal band.

[Bodhi716]

OMG... What an incredible sound!

Rick Medlocke ... God love ya buddy.

[NobbyOlder]

ThisWAS Southern Rock!

Put it back together Ricky!

[rt1117]

It seems that silver burning produced tough gold records. But the versions of these songs are even better in their Highway Song Live record. Recommended.

[donostacy]

These guys rocked. I'm sorry I missed them in Corpus Christi in 1984. I suck.

[AudAnd]

Sorry...this year:SWEDEN ROCK KICK OFF

Tyrol, Stockholm, lördag 22 november 2008

[AudAnd]

They are back in sweden  next summer!!! see you all there!!!

[ontario1727]

This is one under appreciated band, they will allways be one of the best kick ass R&R bands.

[laticat]

I saw Blackfoot a year later after this when they added Ken Hensley on Keyboards the Siogo tour they sounded much different the keyboards changed there sound drastically. Rickey Medlocke was so kick ass he put out so much energy singing and playing some awesome lead guitar they blew away Molly Hatchet

[nathanwulf]

He's only got one lung aswell, which makes him even more amazing.

Havent seen Blackfoot, but have seen him and will be seeing him again with Skynyrd.

[fogbeet]

Great kickass Rock! (why don't u 2 e-mail each other or something, or Get A Room!

[wykerstyker115]

hey fogbeet... who R U referring to to go get a room...clarify please

[lmmctaggart]

[teamhome]

[californiansteven]

[Dougarony]

Thanks Sherry, I feel for you...

I recently lost my dad & best friend.

Its time like these that we need to find new friends & loved ones...As well as remember the good times fondly...

Listening to some good ole tunes can sure help.

Are you down in Florida?

[countrysamurai]

OMG,no kidding! I am so sorry to hear about Thunderfoot! I didn't know! I heard about Charlie years ago and I was so sad to hear that,I have been a huge fan of Southern Rock since I was a little kid,but Blackfoot became my favorite after I got out of the Army and moved to Atlanta! I first heard of them just a week before the concert...I fell in love with their whole look and the sound...Oh shit! They can play and Ricky's voice is the ultimate! Is he your brother by blood? Thanks for answering!

[Dougarony]

Sorry to hear that Sherry...Hang in there & stay strong...I loved Blackfoot!

[countrysamurai]

Amazing....No shit...what is your fondest memory!? That's killer!!! How have you been? I hope the last 30 years have been good to you!!! Ain't this the shit??? LOL

[tdm427]

Tell me one guy that can sing, write and play all the different instrments this frickin good and have that energy and smokin hot charisma on stage? Ricky is the king!

[britt0243]

Rickey medlock was so hot back then. They stayed true to thier native american roots also. LOVE THEM SOUTHERN BOYS. LOVE SOUTHERN ROCK. THEY KICKED MY SOUTHERN COUNTRY DIXIE ASS!!! lol!!!

[biolectron]

man i'm glad i grew up in the southern rock era. a lot of these so called rock bands today could learn a lot from Southern rock bands like Blackfoot.

[Perkele1966]

What a sound! Love the guitars!

[wahey1]

the rhythm guitar sounds FAT!

[Prothimos]

Can anyone tell what the hell Rickey says in 'Fly Away' as he's rapping with the crowd?? I know what he says on the live album but I think he gets tongue tied here and just says 'summertime's here -- unga unga chunga -- kick off my little shoes.... it's kinda funny.

At any rate....

Blackfoot Rocks!!

[psenoc]

They where superb!!!!

[804pillow]

saw them on this tour in '82 opening up for headliners the Scorpions and in-between-act Iron Maiden

[countrysamurai]

OMG...I first saw them in '79 at the Omni in Atlanta!!! They opened for Ted Nugent (The Scorpions opened for Blackfoot!) and I had never heard of them! Hot Damn...they absolutely blew me away!!! They have by far...one of the hardest rocking best shows I have ever seen...I've seen hundreds of bands! Blackfoot will rock on forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jazz32212]

great post!!!!!!!! fly away is amazing!!!!!!!!

[axelmct]

....and you can see the back of my head on Highways songs live!!!!!!!!!!

An amazing gig, band and experience.

They nearly blew Deep {Purple off stage in 85 at Knebworth and the head liners themselves were almost blown away.

Absolutely awesome!

[Holygasoline]

Not many bands rocked as hard as Blackfoot ! Saw this tour in Hull UK, best gig i've ever been to

[RockBottomUFO]

Ah the Marauder tour.

I saw Blackfoot at the Stage West in West Hartford.

What a show! What a tour! What a band!

[evilinacloset8888]

[squeakyadam]

[Prothimos]

Makes 2 of us... great show by the looks of things... from one of the best bands ever, imo.

[juicr500]
