They were never underrated to me. I have all their albums. Saw them perform live at the Tomorrow Club in Youngstown Ohio in the late 70s. They were so good. The Tomorrow Club was formerly a movie theater. Which means it was a relatively small concert venue. Which means everybody was close to the band. Didn't need no big screen so you could see them. We saw so many good bands there. It was an awesome time. Nobody was friskin' you at the door. Nobody was violent. But we sure smoked that place up...ha ha. And still smokin'' it up.. Keep on rockin'' !!
As a college kid and diehard southern rock fan I try and share their stuff with as many folks as I can… that said I have yet to come across anyone outside of the web who’s ever heard of them and that’s a damn shame
Saw them open for Boston at Long Beach Arena in 1977. They blew Boston away that night and I went on to see them 7 more times. My all time band. No pretentiousness- just the tightest band I ever saw. Hugie’s shredding and Billy’s blues riffs, along with the harmonies, made them so unique! Only ONE Outlaws- that initial group with Henry Paul was especially awesome!
My brother Chuck was their "Road Manager" in 70-71, in Tampa, cause he had our Volkswagen Van to use to get them to their high school gigs and such. He even played the trumpet during some of the gigs. I thought they were just another longhaired band of misfits..., man, was I wrong! Bought all of their albums and paid to see them in person many times.
Can you remember the show ? I saw them at the Garden around then and Billy collapsed from exhaustion. Might have been opening for Aerosmith. I was as wasted as they were ....
I remember going to see those guys back around 1981. They were playing an outdoor gig along with Poco and The Marshall Tucker Band. It was on the Fourth of July at Desoto Speedway in Bradenton Florida. A really memorable concert in many ways!
@@fordrac1ng81 Yes, it was and Molly Hatchet was in the line up that day also. I got the worst sunburn I ever had in my life that day. We were all drinking beer and smoking weed shirtless out in the sun all afternoon, too stupid to realize that wasn't such a good idea lol!
That sounds perfect! Always wanted to see Marshall Tucker. I saw the Outlaws in Kansas City 80~81ish. The opening act was this new band called Molly Hatchet. Good times.
They played the Round up in PHILADELPHIA at J.F.K STADIUM WHAT a show .The first time I saw them was at a small club called my father place in ROSLYN N.Y L.I. in 1980 they ROCK the house down the place was packed and it was a rocken the good old days when tickets were cheap and the music was great. Long LIVE ROCK MY FRIENDS
I saw them a few times. What stuck out for me was July 3, 1979 at Legend Valley, Ohio. Dixie Jam II. On the bill : The Outlaws, The Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, Pure Prairie League & McGuffey Lane. There were so many people (est were 70,000 to 100,000) crowded into this natural outdoor amphitheater somewhere out in the woods. It had rained the night before & the place looked like a wet muddy swamp. Overcast to start off when they started to open the gates, by the time the Outlaws started to play, the Sun started to peek out, there were so many people (thousands) who had been sick, passing out or falling asleep from too much partying. When the Sun finally came out entirely it baked these same muddy people & then dried them into mud-caked zombie-like creatures when they would stir. To me, it looked like the last days of Pompeii might have looked like. That image stuck with me to this day. But a great day for music if you didn't mind the heat, mud etc. :)
Kind of funny because on that 3 pickup LP, Billy tends to use the middle position which almost gives it a Strat kind of sound due to the pickup combination and you can hear him use it as such in this song.
Saw these guys the first time opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd along with J Giels. They tore it up! They put the Rock in Southern Rock , no doubt about it. Sure miss Hughie and Billie. RIP
@@kennybania8623 Ahh the Allman Bros.... a bunch of boys from Nashville Tennesee who started a band based out of Macon, Georgia in Jacksonville, Florida.
@@kennybania8623 I see you have mandatory ultra conservative "I promise I'm not racist" channel subscriptions. You guys crack me up..... nobody out in the real world actually thinks you are racist. Get outside dood!
Couldn't agree more. There was something about that guy, so sad how it ended. The Outlaws are still around with a couple of original members, and they are good. But when Billy left it just was not the same. And then the loss of Hughie.....
👍👍👍Billy Jones was phenomenal. He comes across as someone who is tormented by something to me, however. I believe he took his own life. Very sad because he brought a lot of joy to the people who love the Outlaws.
@@jamesbowen8960 Yes, he did take his own life. Very sad and the details or at least what I heard at the time of his passing were very troubling. Besides his guitar skills and songwriting ability I loved his vocals. He had a very unique sound, never heard another singer that sounded like him. "Holiday" is still one of my favorite songs.
Playing 250 dates a year, which is what they were doin at their peak, is not a good formula for a guy who developed alcoholism. He needed time off the road, but it just progressed.Most alcoholics understand that darkness.."oh it can never get that bad.." oh yes it can and does...over and over again. Morrison, Bonham, Hendrix, Cobain, Staley, Cornell, Bon Scott, Phil Lynott et al ....... .
Sweetness defined. I was a Junior in HS and moved to California from Indiana. Of course, in Indiana The Outlaws, Skynryd, MTB, Allmans was our cornfield cruising music and our musical bible. I turned these bands on to all my Cali friends who had never heard of these bands and they LOVED the music of ALL these bands. LOL! They said, "Damn... that Southern rock is sweet, sweet, sweet music" To this day....and we are all now 59....it is our f**** favorite music!!!!!
That was awesome. I was fortunate to see them with The Charlie Daniels Band in I think 1981 cause I was not driving yet, and my brother who drove was, so I had to be about 15. Got to see CDB a bunch in my life and was even fortunate to meet Charlie a bunch of times at my job over the years. What a great Man he was. Treated me like he knew me forever.
Saw the Outlaws open up for Charlie Daniels back in either '78-'79 at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago..Damn near 5 hrs of some outrageous southern rock!! What a night..
Never caught Charlie live to my regret but the 'laws twice both times at the Aragon - which fit way more, the Auditorium downtown fancy, ' the'gon was rowdy way more rockin' ;-)
I saw the Outlaws back towards the end of the Ghostriders tour. What an awesome show. Just tons of music played with passion and with soul. RIP Hughie Thomason and Billy Jones.
I got into this band in college up in NY in the late 70s when I bought Bring it Back Alive before listening to it. It immediately got a lot of play on my turntable. The 70s is my favorite decade for music and Southern rock is a big reason why.
That's around my count too! Most all the southern rock bands would come around every year and I'd go see em, sometimes going to the next closest show too. 3 bands for $7.50, shirts $5 ahh the good old days! 😁
Been a fan of southern rock for years, greetings from Co Down N Ireland, Outlaws, Skynyrd, Molly hatchet, Blackfoot and all the rest of the bands just love it, seen Hughie Thomasson as part of the Skynyrd line up in Dublin, what a player
Saw them in 1979 in Jacksonville with the Johnny Van Zant band!!!!! What an incredible show. The Outlaws were the second best Southern Rock band of the era. Only Skynyrd exceeded their finesse.
I love all the great comments I see regarding the talent in the Outlaws....... What I don't get are the comments calling them underrated, they were very successful and are legendary musicians, they're loved by millions of fans, they aren't underrated...... If underrated means they aren't as renowned players like Eddie Van Halen was in his genre, the best music isn't and never will be the most popular in main stream, especially in today's world. Hughey was the best singer and player in Southern Rock, "to me"..........
The first time I saw them was 1979 at the Chance in Poughkeepsie, New York. Holy smokes I was and never stopped loving this band since! RIP to all those brilliant musicians. 🤘🏻
Such an awesome band and incredible music! Been listening to this since the 70’s and the memory recall I get when I listen to the Outlaws is incredible! Thanks for a wonderful past that I get to relive over and over again through your music!
I read where Billy Jones held the state record in Colorado for the 440M in track and field in the late 60s. He apparently lived in Boulder, CO during his later high school years. Anyone know anything about this?
I saw the Outlaws warm up Skynyrd in 1976 on July 2nd, Hara Arena, Dayton, Oh. Both bands rocked that old shed, and since it was 2 days before the Fourth, the back corner of the floor became the designated place to toss firewarks...and not just fire crackers. Lots of M80s and Cherry Bombs! The smoke of that, along with all the weed made for a very hazy night of Southern Rock at its best!!!
DAMMIT!!!! WTF HAS HAPPENED TO MUSIC??? Where have all the actual musicians gone man??? Music has gone from amazing, God gifted, talented people to straight down the shitter. Damn record companies.
Outlaws will always be my either 1 or 2 favrpite bands So underrated especially for Jist how much TALENT is in these songs these are not easy songs Hughie and Billy were legends
Awesome. I got to see them at a small beer garden festival where were clogging at. I went back to our vehicle to get my cassette for them to sign. I sure wondered how they ended up as entertainment there.
Wow- never got to see them at their peak like this..just barely before my time..though herein the southeast u.s., they ruled the airwaves for years afterward, all over most of the world also, if these posts have it right
What a mesmerizing band on stage a southern rock band that harmonized with all their vocals they were definitely a unique southern band because none of the other southern bands harmonized like that they were the only ones with that style rip guys yall were the best
The Outlaws were a HELL of a band... I never got to see them live, but they were a class act. The Hurry Sundown album was full of AWESOME tracks, one of the tastiest rock albums ever written, in my opinion.
I miss this band. I saw them several times back in the day, including the Roundup in Philly. But the best time I saw them, I was 6 ft in front of Huey at the Soap Factory in Richfield Park New Jersey. Good times.
@@rodmunch4879 but I'm going back to Gator country where the wine and the women are free. If we all keep on here, we will be rewrote the whole damn song. Lol Molly Hatchet was as good a southern band as any out there at the time.
Saw them in 1978 at Anaheim stadium they opened for the Stones. I really did not care for the Stones I was there to see one of the greatest guitar bands ever the Outlaws!
First time I saw the outlaws was a free concert in Central Park opening for stership. Been a fan ever since. Even moved down to Florida from Jersey to be in the middle of all the greatest southern rock bands! I'm still jamm'n 50 years later. Thanks to all of you rock'n mfers.
The outlaws were so underrated and still are. What a damn shame.
You got that right
I have never heard of them being underrated all I ever heard about them is being guitar virtuosos
LOLOL never underrated.. these stupid comments are over rated!

Glad I saw these guys in the 70's. One of the best of all time. For the 74 thumbs down people they can stick it where the sun never shines.
Amen
Dirty Commies
I saw them twice in 2022 .Still great. Going to see them again in November
Seen em 3 times unforgettable .
Detroit?? What the hell are you talking about my hometown for??😂😂
Billy and Huey to the greatest underrated guitar players of our time Green Grass and high tides forever
Billy Jones I wish you were still strokin’ that guitar today. RIP and of course Hughie.
Saw them open for Boston at Long Beach Arena in 1977. They blew Boston away that night and I went on to see them 7 more times. My all time band. No pretentiousness- just the tightest band I ever saw. Hugie’s shredding and Billy’s blues riffs, along with the harmonies, made them so unique! Only ONE Outlaws- that initial group with Henry Paul was especially awesome!
fuck yea The LBC Im from north town
Yep your as old as me ..! But still Rocking On !
The Outlaws are an awesome band. What an awesome live performance of a great tune. Rest in peace, Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones. Cheers!
Amen
Amen 🙏🏽 indeed🙋🏽♀️💕
Amen. What fantastic music.
Amen saw herny Paul never get to see the outlaws
Ronnie van Zant got them signed. Clive Davis I believe. He managed Alan Jackson later, Bruce Springsteen and Whitney Houston
Truly miss these guys. Great Music and Great Time growing up in America.
My brother Chuck was their "Road Manager" in 70-71, in Tampa, cause he had our Volkswagen Van to use to get them to their high school gigs and such. He even played the trumpet during some of the gigs. I thought they were just another longhaired band of misfits..., man, was I wrong!

This was their "Sweet Home Alabama"
Ok.. but then, green grass and high tides is what, their stairway to heaven?
Awsome i saw then then as well. Who would have thought wed be able to watch50 years later
17 in 1977 I saw them in my hometown Boston that year, great live band, I loved southern rock, still do.
Can you remember the show ? I saw them at the Garden around then and Billy collapsed from exhaustion. Might have been opening for Aerosmith. I was as wasted as they were ....
Monte Yoho one of southern rocks legendary drummers The Outlaws are definitely southern rock royalty outstanding musicians
Should be in the rock and roll hall of fame
I quite literally agree with you my dear friend 😂
Billy Jones! What a player! And his songs are some of their best
Played this album over and over again ; I still love it today in 2020, xx 👍🤘♥️🎸
So do I. Always listen to it.
Probably my favorite album my senior year in highschool. Still one of my favorites. And I probably listen to this and Green Grass... every week ❤️
Most dynamic guitar duo in history
Not even close.
Duane Allman and Dicky Betts 🎸 🎸
Did you ever hear Duane Allman and Dicky Betts or Garry Rossington and Allen Collens ?
@@JDStaffylover no match for the Florida Guitar Army

The original 4 guitar army. Long live the Outlaws
Guitar boogie Southern style. One of the best concerts I’d seen in the late 70’s
Outlaws F ING AWESOME 1970s.
Southern rock.i remember those days.i miss them.SOUTHERN ROCK.ALL AMERICAN.
What a great example of a Strat and Les Paul working together. R.I.P.
never thought of it like that. Strat sounded killer BTW
Kind of funny because on that 3 pickup LP, Billy tends to use the middle position which almost gives it a Strat kind of sound due to the pickup combination and you can hear him use it as such in this song.
Yeah.. such great musicians ... so underrated !! sit down right now and show me any band right now that could pull this off........................
Right on!!!
Love this song. One of my all time favorites. Love this band. One of my all time favorites. Music like this is just not made anymore. 😢
One of the most underrated groups
They were not uderated
From the same show, Capitol theatre
Please someone Put A real good feeling back on you tube Billy Jones ROCKS!
Tampa boys. Thank you Henry Paul. ✌️
Semper Fi Jar Head
And later.....with Chris Anderson, he is from Sarasota.
Saw the Outlaws and Molly Hatchet in 1979 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia PA. What a great concert. Ahhhh the good ol days.
RIP Billy Jones
Saw these guys the first time opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd along with J Giels. They tore it up! They put the Rock in Southern Rock , no doubt about it. Sure miss Hughie and Billie. RIP
So many great bands from that southern rock era...(Florida boy here)
I went on a Blackfoot kick the other day, albums were great well into the 1980s.
Yep been in Florida since 1971.Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros. Outlaws, and of course Lynyrd Skynyrd.
@@kennybania8623 Ahh the Allman Bros.... a bunch of boys from Nashville Tennesee who started a band based out of Macon, Georgia in Jacksonville, Florida.

Another Florida boy from that era right here nodding his head. Been watching a lot of these videos from "my era' (I'm 57) and man did we have it good.
Saw them live 4 times in the 70s. So fortunate to see the Original Band twice. Hughie,Billy Henry Paul, Frank OKeefe and Monte Yoho. Classic!
We will never enjoy bands with the level of talent this generation gave us. Outlaws were one of the best bands of their era.
A classic. Still listen to this today and enjoy as much now as the first day I heard it.
One of the best live bands I ever witnessed. I don’t think they were ever recognized for the pure, raw talent they had.
One of the best Guitar armies ever! Seen them in Indianapolis Indiana. What a show! I really miss those days!
Billy such a interesting human being could not kick his demons damn shame love his playing one of the greatest players around
Billy Jones so so under rated

God created Southern Rock to soothe the savage beast in all mankind !
The Outlaws opened for The Rolling Stones at Anaheim Stadium in August 1978. Peter Tosh was there too. I was 15 lol
Hughie Thomason, the guitarist for the Outlaws, also played guitar for Lynyrd Skynyrd. He sadly died in 2007.

I would like to back the time just to see their show.
The Capitol was an amazing venue...and it was in my hometown. Thanks for the great memories.
Saw many great shows at the capital miss those days
Loved the guys. Long Island loved them in the 1970s

Green grass and high tides forever was our high school mantra! Love the Outlaws! Saw them in concert several times.
I saw them ib the 90's in Tahoe. They were unbelievable.
Billy we miss you..U2 Hughie!!!
The outlaws were a fantastic band, saw them 6 times. Love them.
I’ve seen them six times , Back in the good old days of Southern rock
That's around my count too! Most all the southern rock bands would come around every year and I'd go see em, sometimes going to the next closest show too. 3 bands for $7.50, shirts $5 ahh the good old days! 😁
Hughie was a solid dude. When he played with the reformed Skynyrd he looked younger than he did here.
Saw them in concert with Van Halen and Boston at NC State in June of 1979 while I was stationed at Camp Lejeune.
I had the first Outlaws album on 8-track , man we played the hell out of it , drinkin, smokin & singin along 🎸😁🍺
Same here! My senior year in highschool. Such a great album!! And I still listen to this and GG and HT every week 😀
Billy Jones was amazing. How it all ended was a shame
Such a great band! The leads are incredible.
The trade-offs between Thomasson and Jones on this tune are more than awesome... :)
Been a fan of southern rock for years, greetings from Co Down N Ireland, Outlaws, Skynyrd, Molly hatchet, Blackfoot and all the rest of the bands just love it, seen Hughie Thomasson as part of the Skynyrd line up in Dublin, what a player
Highway Song, one of my favorites!!
Billy you are missed.😢
Great song, the whole album is good!! ❤
Saw them in 1979 in Jacksonville with the Johnny Van Zant band!!!!! What an incredible show. The Outlaws were the second best Southern Rock band of the era. Only Skynyrd exceeded their finesse.
Billy was amazing. Underrated for sure. His solos live just rang throughout the arena! So powerful!
Seen , Them at the Palladium, N.Y.C., Pat Travers opened up , lots of great guitars that night, very tight in concert.
I was there
First heard them in 77 on a Greyhound Bus from Boston to Tulsa. 3 years later played them nonstop in my barracks room.
A VERY UNDER RATED BAND, SAW THEM LIVE SEVERAL TIMES, BLEW ME AWAY!
What a great band, feel privileged to have seen them in LA with Molly Hatchet opening, great time that nite...
Saw them with Molly Hatchet in St. Louis in 1980...at Keil Auditorium..
I traveled with Molly Hatchet selling T-shirt’s at their shows. I worked for a company called Road Runners. ❤️ Great memories!!!!
Saw these guys so many times since the early 70s
Never gets old! 😄
I love all the great comments I see regarding the talent in the Outlaws....... What I don't get are the comments calling them underrated, they were very successful and are legendary musicians, they're loved by millions of fans, they aren't underrated......

I was at this show. It was amazing!!
Ted Nugent opened...they were booed off stage..
Loved this from the first time I heard it-mid 70s??? 75ish?? Love that Les Paul Custom \m/
A perfectly synched "Wall of Sound" right off the bat on this classic performance. Who can play like this today?
Florida's guitar army !
Best version of this song that I have heard. What a band as the guitar leads pass back and forth to each other.
I read where Billy Jones held the state record in Colorado for the 440M in track and field in the late 60s. He apparently lived in Boulder, CO during his later high school years. Anyone know anything about this?
What a voice!!
Don't mind at all if you call ?
What a band. Love the guitar army.

The dude in the red shirt had a scholarship to juilliard music school and obviously was a genius. Also had a degree in math
He took his life about 12 years ago too
Billy Jones was also a great athlete in school. Excelled in track and field.
To me, this was the sound of the 70s. Southern fried rock.
DAMMIT!!!! WTF HAS HAPPENED TO MUSIC??? Where have all the actual musicians gone man??? Music has gone from amazing, God gifted, talented people to straight down the shitter. Damn record companies.
Outlaws will always be my either 1 or 2 favrpite bands So underrated especially for Jist how much TALENT is in these songs these are not easy songs Hughie and Billy were legends
I seen the outlaws in 78 and Molly Hatched opened the show then again in 1980 and .38 special opened up shout out to my friends in Portland?
Seen them with the Eagles in 76. And also seen them with Marshall Tucker and Charlie Daniels. What a show.
Awesome. I got to see them at a small beer garden festival where were clogging at. I went back to our vehicle to get my cassette for them to sign. I sure wondered how they ended up as entertainment there.

God bless you hugie ! I still hear your guitar ringing thru pyco !!
Wheres the Outlaws when you need them !
'The origional 'Outlaws' southern rock group is gone forever.
I have all their albums. Sent recordings to my brother stationed in Germany. 80's lol. Well received.
I was at this show...The Capitol rocked! saw many many many great shows there...
To the good old days 👍
What a mesmerizing band on stage a southern rock band that harmonized with all their vocals they were definitely a unique southern band because none of the other southern bands harmonized like that they were the only ones with that style rip guys yall were the best
Worked as a roadie for a band that opened for them they were really nice
MY FAVOURITE SOUTHERN ROCK BAND!

Yes Sir,one of the best awesome 👍

But the best time I saw them, I was 6 ft in front of Huey at the Soap Factory in Richfield Park New Jersey. Good times.
Outlaws down in Tampa town
Mighty fine place to be.
They played a N Tampa/Lutz nightclub called The Losers. Saw Tom Petty, there too.
They got green grass and they got high tides and it sure looks good to me
He can ramble on back to Georgia and I won’t give a damn.
@@rodmunch4879 but I'm going back to Gator country where the wine and the women are free. If we all keep on here, we will be rewrote the whole damn song. Lol Molly Hatchet was as good a southern band as any out there at the time.
Saw them in 1978 at Anaheim stadium they opened for the Stones. I really did not care for the Stones I was there to see one of the greatest guitar bands ever the Outlaws!
How Wonderful! I had forgotten about this tune! Always loved it and these guys! Just kicking ass!
I'm glad this is back on RUclips. It was there for quite some time, then it disappeared. Cheers!
First time I saw the outlaws was a free concert in Central Park opening for stership. Been a fan ever since. Even moved down to Florida from Jersey to be in the middle of all the greatest southern rock bands! I'm still jamm'n 50 years later. Thanks to all of you rock'n mfers.
