I've always thought it was a damn shame that more people aren't familiar with the Daredevils. They were such a unique and incredibly talented group of guys. Absolutely wonderful music.
The first time I saw REM in Saint Louis, MO in 1984, they played the Ozark Mountain Daredevil’s “Chicken Train”. Michael Stipe spent his high school years growing up In the Saint Louis region very near where the Ozark Mountain Daredevils were from (in fact, OMD bass player Michael Supe Granda grew up in Saint Louis). Anyway REM played that song about 12 years after REM recorded it, and it got one of the most enthusiastic responses of that outstanding concert.
High!! I'm a Life long friend of all these dudes!! We're all from the same town and the same side of that town.. known them practically ALL MY LIFE!! GLAD YOU LIKE EM!! PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS
One day, back in 1975, I stumbled upon their first album in a Maine record store. I had never heard of them, but they looked interesting, so I bought the LP. I was trying to learn acoustic guitar with a couple friends and, soon, we were all OMD fans and striving to play some of their tunes. Here, in 2021, I’m 71 yrs old, still a fan and playing some of their songs on my guitar, to the delight of the younger set, who may have missed out on hearing this great group of lads.
I still love that debut album I got to songs from that on my RUclips channel Standing on the rock And from the truck a little harping along the country girl
@@sulevisydanmaa9981 Country Gazette were really a bluegrass outfit not a country rock band, Souther Hillman Furay band never lived up to their potential and Chris Hillman couldn't wait to quit , i have both their albums and they are to be honest imo rather lightweight. Cowboy under the radar, but really i'd say they were more a southern rock band -there's a difference ! , i put them in the same category as bands like Toby Beau in terms of country rock credibility and they never really did enough to merit any great recognition . Its always opinions i know and if you really rate these outfits that's fair enough but certainly CG not a country rock band
@@sulevisydanmaa9981 Not sure where you're going with this , the first three definitely not underated PPL in particular . Great band in the early days before Gill......Creedance pretty well known ! though not in anyway exclusively country rock , bit short of pedal steel ! and i don't like Fogerty and the way he treated his band....the rhythm section later played with Doug Sahm , now there's a great performer..... SDQ not sure who you are referring to Sutherland Bros and Quiver ? Surely not.
@@MrPhilfridge I DON T KNOW THE current appreciation trends. Since I live No Europe. But those were my main identification targets while in puberty, mid 70s. B. Leadon and G.Parsons were the quitessentia coutnry rock influencer personalities. The E stole the show, due diligence, and deservedly so. Later on ruined themselves went near-hard rock OMD s 1st album was like a revelation to me. Evvuhh heard group called TRICKSTER, round 77 ? SDQ = of course, my horse, Sir Douglas Quintet, texmex-based, but r&b ish coutnry rock still to most extent. Comm Cody was my #2 w NRPS. There outght to be a 2 hr proper doc made on the genre. Lemme know if u know. We can quit. Saludos cordiales desde 🇫🇮 (= FIN - not ARG nor ISR)
@@scetchport I suppose it depends on one's accent and down there in Springfield and other parts of the Ozarks they have thick accents. Missouri/Missourah is where the Midwest and the Southren states meet.
Old guitar picker here and I was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains. I've had the "privilege" of playing with a few of these guys and have heard Supe perform and read his wonderful book " It Shined " One of the greatest folk rock groups ever and sorely underrated. R.I.P. Steve Cash.
Excellent book, very long but having known only "Heaven" and "Jackie" for decades, I learned a lot from it and now that I know most of the songs, going thru it again, maybe to the point where Chowning leaves which is about halfway thru the book.
This is the only live in concert video I know of the original band. I have it from one of the trading sites and it's not quite this quality although it's good, mine was in the original 4:3 aspect ratio. Someone has done a fantastic job of taking a good re-broadcast and cropping it to 16:9 in fine quality. This is a treasure. Ozark Mountain Daredevils were a band I latched onto during my latter high school years. I loved the fact they could blend Apalachain roots with rock and make it very accessible and polished enough to garner some commercial appeal too boot. I found them unique and extremely compelling. These guys could write great songs and they were pretty darn good musicians also. A lot of talent no doubt. They were on Herb Alpert's A&M records which was known for diverse excellence artists. Thanks to whoever re-did this video and mega-thanks to the poster. This band should not be forgotten. Classic rock stations seem to only play Jackie Blue and that's such a small part of what this band sounded like. The BBC was light-years ahead of US TV in showcasing great rock music so the ultimate thanks go to the BBC for giving us treasures like this concert. This and the early Billy Joel BBC concert are two of my all-time favorites.
Yes, these were the days when the BBC made some quirky or unusual shows (for their time) which weren't aimed at a mass audience. Sir David Attenborough, the well known wildlife film maker and narrator, gave the go ahead for The Old Grey Whistle Test ( and Monty Python) when he was in charge of the BBC2 TV channel. It quickly became a popular and influential show with mainly younger viewers who were interested in music and bands which didn't normally feature in the singles charts. British viewers were introduced to numerous American bands and singers over the years and it was a shame when it was pulled off the air in the 80's.
These guys, O.M.D. was a great band that never got the national recognition they deserved. Saw them live at Marietta Collage in the mid seventys. Also saw the original Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the same venue also. Great times, great shows, great music.
SW Missouri, circa 1973, Lawrence County- near the Daredevils' home ground... my dad & uncle decided to make their own homemade wine; had about 9 kinds in 5 gallon jugs in the cellar house... went really well with the 4th of July pig roasts- life was slow & easy back then; I was 24, now I'm 70, & the OMD bring back great memories... makes this semi-old-timer smile!
A group of All-Star musicians, a tight band that plays with both esprit and precision, music that is a bit off of the beaten path, and a vastly underrated band that deserved a much wider audience.........Although their music is different, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils remind me very much of Little Feat.
In the 70s I used to drive a company car that had a faulty cassette player that wouldn't eject the cassette. At the time I was going to gigs watching punk bands (in London) and the cassette that was stuck in the machine was The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, this was further from punk than Stravinsky was from the Bay City Rollers and I hated it but it was the only thing I could listen to and every time I drove that car I would listen to it and I began to appreciate it and eventually loved it. I still liked punk but my musical education went up a notch. Great band.
Most bands have 1 *good* singer, not 8 !! I had Nirvana-Nevermind, then Clapton-Slowhand, then Kris Kristofferson-Greatest. All stuck for four to six mths each. Still LOVE 'em all...... G.P. , Medicine Hat, Alberta.........
Gotta love OMD. My father put me on to this band and I loved them from the get-go. Having said that, a similar thing as what happened to you happened to me in a work truck where the radio was finicky and the only CD in the truck was from a band called Gomez, the album called Liquid Skin. I wasn't really into it during the first track, but by the end of the album I was completely sold on the band and I now have all of their albums.
hahaha that's the best commentary I've read on youtube for a long time. great story man. and I totally understand I'm from punk scene too but my father loves this guys...soo the cassette Wasn't stuck but kind of the same feeling ahahha.
canturgan love the idea that you were a captured audience. Otherwise you would not of heard one the greats in its time. I love them never stopped listening too them.Just had to say. Quite a change from punk hey”.
PURE AMERICANA - finely honed/multi-talented musicians one & all !! 6-strings .. fiddle .. banjer .. mandolin .. harps .. voices .. woven together like a quilt .. Thanks fellas !
I saw these guys in the late ‘70’s in a smaller venue in Melbourne, Florida and they were phenomenal. I was always a Zep, Stones, Aerosmith type a guy but I can say I’ve never seen a better show in my life. Great line up, talent, fun music, and when they finished up with “If you Want to Get to Heaven” we nearly tore the old FIT Gymnasium down. These guys rock. Oh...and I think I had a man crush on Larry Lee. 😆 His songs and voice were my favorites from OMD.
I went to a boarding school. One term in `76 I found a copy of `Itll shine when it shines` in a bin. I still have it. For my birthday a few months later I got `The car over the lake album` and it went from there! For a kid weaned on early Bowie, Led Zep, Floyd etc. that was some departure, but the Ozarks have always had a kind of cult following in this great music hall we call the UK, and I joined it.
They were without doubt one of the finest exponents of the 'Country Rock ' genre of the early to mid 70's ... Luckily we had connections with Zig Zag mag and because of this , many of 'the left field bands ' of the time got featured . I have many fond memories of late night party's with all of us getting pretty drunk , singing along to 'Chicken Train' a daft song but always pretty good when we were 'loose' . ( I'm 71 now and can still remember everything about those crazy party's ) Their style was pretty eclectic , with many country rocks numbers and then there would be something like 'Spaceship Orion' which is still one of the most beautiful songs ever written ...Those first two albums were /are just magical ...Buy them both , you'll never be the same again .
My dad took me to see them in Muskogee, OK when I was 7 or 8. 1981 to 83ish. A rare memory from that age but one I will never forget and has shaped my taste and appreciation in/of music ever since!!! Thanks Dad!!!!
Rifle on Jackie, their signature. Foot stompin, and great vocals. Impressed in '74 brought my son to share with ns friend. Appreciate what they brought to the world
I have always loved this band,right from when I first heard them in 76. Jackie blue was the single and the album itll shine when it shines. they were up there with the eagles,but never had the same recognition. a very unique sound.
I was driving home from work one afternoon in 1976 and heard the song Within-Without from their first album. I was blown away by it,I' ve been a fan of their's since. Road To Glory is another song that will put you on another level. Too bad the orginal members didnt' stay together.
chris rainbow I cannot say that they were up there with the Eagles, but boy I love this band they definitely did not get the credit they deserved--Much more Bluegrass than the Eagles ever work
chris rainbow --- 'Glad that you love The Ozarks as much as I do, but, funny as it sounds, "Jackie Blue" was (to me) the one song they did, which didn't really sound like them. And THAT was the song that got most of the AIRPLAY. I always felt that if the only song a person ever heard, by this band, was, "Jackie Blue...then that person really hadn't heard The Ozark Mt. Daredevils. And don't get me wrong. It's a great song...It just doesn't sound like anything else they ever did (Think Pink Floyd doing "Hound Dog").
@@Newton14alan Group was 'f'd' over by sound of the time for 'Jackie Blue' and their 'Jim Dandy' cover to be the only thing they're known for. Compared to Eagles? That would be the Bernie Leaden years, maybe. More Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco, Amazing Rhythm Aces, Byrds or (dare l say) Dr Hook. Maybe Nitty Gritty Dirt Band? This group was drug down back in the day for demonic back masting. IDK.
The Eagles are a legend and great harmonies and songs. So is Little River Band But..... in my book OMD in their prime as they are here for instance are the very top and nothing ever has or will ever match their songs or sound.
They've got that family type bond, like Lynard Skynyrd. You know they'll always be friends for life. A promoter can't just put a band together like that. They have to grow up together.
Loved these guys then and still. Just a great band with extremely talented musicians who play multiple instruments, both modern and classics from hundreds of years ago. Amazing. And their voices both solo and harmonizing just makes my heart happy.
As close as we ever got to The Band again. What a super group of musicians. I grew up on "It'll shine..." and still listening. These guys are savagely underrated...
I first listened to them in 1976, I was 16. Instantly loved them and bought there albums as did my friends. We were all young pot smoking hippies back in the day. Funny thing is, us high kids weren’t from southern USA. We were from a small country town in Australia. Boy did we listen to great music for country kids in Australia. Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels Band, Little Feet, Allman Brothers, Roy Buchanan, and on and on. 😂 What times we had.
Was looking for a song from my youth "Jackie Blue" found THIS, what an absolute joy of a discovery, great band great music! Just glorious from the first note to the last - Gary
Saw them over 10 times in 70's. One concert stood out. A band called Mission Mountain Wood Band from Montana ooened ip and they were smoking. I believe it was Supe came out and said where the hell did that band from Montana come from. They then proceeded to kick ass even taking requests from thr audience. Unbelievable night
I'm in my sixties, (um think of a Beatles song from Sgt. Peppers). Of all the decades I've lived in, for me, the 70's was the best musically. And a big part of it was all the great Southern bands including this one.
forgotten greats, a lot of people dont even no who that are, I'm sure glad to have found these forgotten classics, what some killier songs, rock on OMD!!!
This takes me back to my childhood. I grew up on this kind of music...… I wore out my parents album listening to "Chicken Train" (thankyou Tyson) and still love it to this day.
The first time I heard Chicken Train, I thought these guys are nuckin futs! But the song grows on you. You can't be down in the dumps after singing Chicken Train!
This was filmed about a year after I was fortunate enough to see them live at CMSU in Warrensburg, Missouri. Also saw them at the Uptown in KC in the 80s. Thanks guys from a fellow "Show-me" native son.
+Joe Hartley I saw them in 95 Larry Lee and Randle Chowning were missing, But I had Cash, Dillion,and Supe sign my It'll Shine when It shines album, One of the best bands of all time, No doubt.
I got to see them live July, 2015 at the Ozarks Amphitheater - great stuff. I thought the place would be packed but it was sadly a sparse crowd. You people are missing out on the legend.
..pure A M E R I C A N vibes !! During that time, THIS particular band had not only the most ORIGINAL; but also the "tightest, perfectionist/meticulous", clarity within their rhythm and harmony of ANY other band within their musical realm; whatever you want to label it..I'm gratefully glad to have recognized their talent from that time till now, (h.s.class75)..Hearing/seeing this video after so many years, somehow actually restored a modicum of long lost pride in our country..Many thanks boys !
BBC, yes, a broad interest broadcaster. I was 18 in 1970, and we used to Go to free BBC concerts. Excellent quality recordings. The Sunday, repeated on Wednesday show with Pete Drummond. Saw Caravan and Supertramp. Great music in London in the early 70's.
I remember watching this on togwt and consequently went out and bought their albums,back in the day i was into Hawkwind,Man,Hendrix and then got into country via the Ozarks
In 2019, it's hard to remember, until you see this, that we were so spoiled by talented artists like OMD and took them for granted. I relish every minute of this performance now.
What is this, man?! I just can't help but watching this show every other day for the last three weeks... Every song is a musical jewel... Thinking about picking up 2 or 3 and cover them with my band, down here in Brazil...
I remember this as an 11 year old in '75...my only exposure to music was from my 20 year old sister...and Pure Prairie League, Jethro Tull, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Linda Rondstadt..she was so disappointed when I was into Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Culture Club..
My cousin was in a band where he'd play guitar and harmonica on If You Want to Get To Heaven. It was nearly spot on (considering his band was a three-piece)

Yep agree fully
I wouldn’t use past tense there, Bucko!
Yep they still record and your. Recently did the Rock Cruise with The Who.
The first time I saw REM in Saint Louis, MO in 1984, they played the Ozark Mountain Daredevil’s “Chicken Train”. Michael Stipe spent his high school years growing up

And that they brought Rune from Norway to be a part of them makes it even MORE wonderful 😁
Never heard of these guys but somehow the mighty YT algorithm brought me here. The fiddle intro to Road To Glory got me hooked. What a great band.

My dad took me to see them in Muskogee, OK when I was 7 or 8. 1981 to 83ish. A rare memory from that age but one I will never forget and has shaped my taste and appreciation in/of music ever since!!! Thanks Dad!!!!
Rifle on Jackie, their signature. Foot stompin, and great vocals. Impressed in '74 brought my son to share with ns friend. Appreciate what they brought to the world
2024, and this incredible band still remain EPIC
Such a great performance. Brings back so many happy memories of my late teens.
I have always loved this band,right from when I first heard them in 76. Jackie blue was the single and the album itll shine when it shines. they were up there with the eagles,but never had the same recognition. a very unique sound.
I was driving home from work one afternoon in 1976 and heard the song Within-Without from their first album. I was blown away by it,I' ve been a fan of their's since.
Road To Glory is another song that will put you on another level. Too bad the orginal members didnt' stay together.
chris rainbow I cannot say that they were up there with the Eagles, but boy I love this band they definitely did not get the credit they deserved--Much more Bluegrass than the Eagles ever work
Within Without and Spaceship Orion are my two favorite OMD songs. A very underrated band! I'm not sure they wrote a bad song!
chris rainbow --- 'Glad that you love The Ozarks as much as I do, but, funny as it sounds, "Jackie Blue" was (to me) the one song they did, which didn't really sound like them. And THAT was the song that got most of the AIRPLAY.
I always felt that if the only song a person ever heard, by this band, was, "Jackie Blue...then that person really hadn't heard The Ozark Mt. Daredevils. And don't get me wrong. It's a great song...It just doesn't sound like anything else they ever did (Think Pink Floyd doing "Hound Dog").
@@Newton14alan Group was 'f'd' over by sound of the time for 'Jackie Blue' and their 'Jim Dandy' cover to be the only thing they're known for. Compared to Eagles? That would be the Bernie Leaden years, maybe. More Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco, Amazing Rhythm Aces, Byrds or (dare l say) Dr Hook. Maybe Nitty Gritty Dirt Band? This group was drug down back in the day for demonic back masting. IDK.
Man this brings back some memories. Never seen a show this long before. Forgot how good they were
One of the thousand million things missed in the seventies. So, thank you!
Rediscovered these talented musicians 50 years later
The Eagles are a legend and great harmonies and songs. So is Little River Band But..... in my book OMD in their prime as they are here for instance are the very top and nothing ever has or will ever match their songs or sound.
They've got that family type bond, like Lynard Skynyrd. You know they'll always be friends for life. A promoter can't just put a band together like that. They have to grow up together.
@@philliplong7873 lynard skynard, hates each other, most have died without speaking for years, I love them but at the same time they act pathetic
Loved these guys then and still. Just a great band with extremely talented musicians who play multiple instruments, both modern and classics from hundreds of years ago. Amazing. And their voices both solo and harmonizing just makes my heart happy.
@@georgegwynn2616 you are right. The ones still alive never speak except through agent or attorney. Pathetic example to humanity.
That E.E.LAWSON got me hooked
Remember watching this at the time. Great country rock band,. Excellent book about them written by Supe Granda the bass player, called 'It Shined'
As close as we ever got to The Band again. What a super group of musicians.
I grew up on "It'll shine..." and still listening. These guys are savagely underrated...
Thanks for giving an giving and giving, Steve. R.I.P.
I first listened to them in 1976, I was 16. Instantly loved them and bought there albums as did my friends. We were all young pot smoking hippies back in the day.
Funny thing is, us high kids weren’t from southern USA. We were from a small country town in Australia. Boy did we listen to great music for country kids in Australia. Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels Band, Little Feet, Allman Brothers, Roy Buchanan, and on and on. 😂
What times we had.
Was looking for a song from my youth "Jackie Blue" found THIS, what an absolute joy of a discovery, great band great music! Just glorious from the first note to the last - Gary
Saw them over 10 times in 70's. One concert stood out. A band called Mission Mountain Wood Band from Montana ooened ip and they were smoking. I believe it was Supe came out and said where the hell did that band from Montana come from. They then proceeded to kick ass even taking requests from thr audience. Unbelievable night
This is some of the best jug band music in America!🇺🇸☮️😊🎶
What a great band, filmed at the top of their game ; these kids today know nothun!
OMD speaks from the heart. I get a lot of inspiration from them even 40 years later.
God Bless
This band OMD is one of the best bands that I have loved in the 70’s
Hello Deborah how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I haven't heard of these fellows in along time they still sound great 😅😅😅
It'll Shine When It Shines is one of my favorite albums of all time. I sang along to the entire performance. This is priceless ... _thank you!_
I'm in my sixties, (um think of a Beatles song from Sgt. Peppers). Of all the decades I've lived in, for me, the 70's was the best musically. And a big part of it was all the great Southern bands including this one.
"Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates , It'll shine when it shines "
.you might think I'm waistin' time..but I'm just a good old boy who's learned to wait....LOVE 'em !!!
forgotten greats, a lot of people dont even no who that are, I'm sure glad to have found these forgotten classics, what some killier songs, rock on OMD!!!
great forgotten song, love hearing old songs nobody listings to anymore
as a teen in the 70's, OMDs and Rush were my two favourite bands. Don't ask me why, they just were.
"Jackie Blue"... one of my fave singles ever.
It certainly paid their bills
Me too💙
Jackie blue ' 1 fantastic song from the day it was released to now never stop playing it, music at its best.
This takes me back to my childhood. I grew up on this kind of music...… I wore out my parents album listening to "Chicken Train" (thankyou Tyson) and still love it to this day.
The first time I heard Chicken Train, I thought these guys are nuckin futs! But the song grows on you. You can't be down in the dumps after singing Chicken Train!
I love chicken train, Amen!
YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehAWWWWWWWWWWW! GOD BLESS THE DAREDEVILS
I remember hearing their single 'Jackie Blue' on the radio and loving it.
This was filmed about a year after I was fortunate enough to see them live at CMSU in Warrensburg, Missouri. Also saw them at the Uptown in KC in the 80s. Thanks guys from a fellow "Show-me" native son.
NightSkyGuy I saw them in 73 when I was 22
+Joe Hartley I saw them in 95 Larry Lee and Randle Chowning were missing, But I had Cash, Dillion,and Supe sign my It'll Shine when It shines album, One of the best bands of all time, No doubt.
I got to see them live July, 2015 at the Ozarks Amphitheater - great stuff. I thought the place would be packed but it was sadly a sparse crowd. You people are missing out on the legend.
A great way to spend 42 minutes. Thanks OMD!
I was there, and it was a great trip.
Had all the albums in the 70's. luv em.
I was listening to these guys in junior high, when they first came out
One of my favourite groups from the 70's to now... Some superb songs...
..pure A M E R I C A N vibes !! During that time, THIS particular band had not only the most ORIGINAL; but also the "tightest, perfectionist/meticulous", clarity within their rhythm and harmony of ANY other band within their musical realm; whatever you want to label it..I'm gratefully glad to have recognized their talent from that time till now, (h.s.class75)..Hearing/seeing this video after so many years, somehow actually restored a modicum of long lost pride in our country..Many thanks boys !
BBC, yes, a broad interest broadcaster. I was 18 in 1970, and we used to Go to free BBC concerts. Excellent quality recordings. The Sunday, repeated on Wednesday show with Pete Drummond. Saw Caravan and Supertramp. Great music in London in the early 70's.
These fellows and these tunes are special - I think God wanted some humble fellows to join Him as he makes music....
Amazing talent! Thank you so much!
I remember watching this on togwt and consequently went out and bought their albums,back in the day i was into Hawkwind,Man,Hendrix and then got into country via the Ozarks
In 2019, it's hard to remember, until you see this, that we were so spoiled by talented artists like OMD and took them for granted. I relish every minute of this performance now.
Oh boy ! What a show !
What a HD quality for this '76 show !
Never thought I'd see this show here!
Love them. Thank you!
Seen these guys in concert in 76-blew me away!!!!!!!!!!
keep on churning , great song.
I loved this band in the day and still love it. Great sound
Seen them in the 70s.with montana band. all of us had one wonderful night.still have the shirt and ticket.❤😊
A Glorious road less travelled than most , yet veering off the track and avoiding the lake of course , can be such a rewarding journey .
What is this, man?! I just can't help but watching this show every other day for the last three weeks... Every song is a musical jewel... Thinking about picking up 2 or 3 and cover them with my band, down here in Brazil...
I remember this as an 11 year old in '75...my only exposure to music was from my 20 year old sister...and Pure Prairie League, Jethro Tull, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Linda Rondstadt..she was so disappointed when I was into Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Culture Club..
Damn great band, one of my favorites!
Great music from a band I knew little about except Jackie Blue and If you want to get to Heaven. Thanks.
My cousin was in a band where he'd play guitar and harmonica on If You Want to Get To Heaven. It was nearly spot on (considering his band was a three-piece)
GOOSEBUMPS BABY, THIS BAND IS A WELL OILED MACHINE.
What a talented band. Thanks for sharing this classic yet hidden gem.
Well said. Capitalize your name.It is important.
Been playing this great music for40 years my kids love it and my grandchildren love it
WOW, an "Ozark Mountain Mouth Bow" Only seen one before, (at a Bluegrass show in Ky.) blew my mind. That was a good version of "Jackie Blue" too
Went to see these guys Liverpool 76. What a group all sing great and great musicians
