- Blackfoot performing Simpleman, Highway Song Medley 11/20/15 Seneca Casino Niagara Falls. Rickey Medlocke does a dedication to Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick between Simple Man and Highway Song. as well as updates Gary Rossington current medical condition.
This is what we used to call an artist back in the days ... What a musician, what a man ...
A lot of people don't know this but Ricky Medlocke was an original member of Skynyrd. . . . I was playing in a bar band during high school in 78-79 when Blackfoot was in town playing a venue in Charleston SC. . . after their show the band shows up at the Flying Dutchman where we were playing, (I was a drummer at the time) , Ricky was watching us stage left. . . came out on stage. . . took Monty Johnson's (our guitar player at the time) Les Paul and jammed with us on two songs. . . Incredible night! Afterwards we got fucked up with Blackfoot! Right on!
That's why, even after Gary Rossington's passing, I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel and give up the current Skynyrd lineup and call them a "tribute band". Not while Ricky's there
Cool Story!
Got that right..I've told a lot of people that fact and they tell me I'm full of it...He played drums for them early on.. Another fact is he doing the singing and runnin around stage with one lung.. Rickey is one BADASS band mate..Keep rockin Mr Medlock lots of fans love what you do!!!
Saw Ricky the other day in Home Depot. Just an average guy buying paint. Played with the greatest southern rock bands ever and all you losers can do is criticize. Who cares about his bank account, or that he has new band members. Both him and others have given us great songs to listen to and enjoy. And he's still out there with all that grey hair playing. My ass would be retired in Costa Rica.
Why don't you all go get a real career, become half as famous or do 1/10th of what he has, then comment.
Well said James.....I think some people (keyboard warriors) just sign up to RUclips to make sh*te comments
Hey brother, don't get upset mate, It's Ricky Vs. these 12 year old online earwigs....no contest.. LOL.
Rickey Medlocke has too much music in his blood and genetics to ever retire
In the mid-80s Ricky was hanging out at a bar in Lansing Michigan, the Silver Dollar Saloon, checking out the band Warp Drive. I said hello and he ended up buying me a beer! Had a nice talk with him. Nice guy.
Who the hell is criticizing Ricky Matlock the f****** guy is a legend and he's a outstanding musician always has been they got to be trolls you got to be f****** trolls no human being with a brain in their head would say anything bad about this man power to you Ricky we love you
Been listenin' to Blackfoot since 1979 and these guys are keeping the music going strong. Love it. Sounds great.
sounds great! Rickey is such an underrated musician... I consider him a legend!
He is a legend.
Rickey is the best and therefore, at least, not underrated by me. Who else is nog underrating Rickey?
Dwayne Martin I agree with you..
Under-rated? who underrated him?
Me too ;)
I saw Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet in Greenville, S.C. I do not remember the year but do remember that it was one of the best concerts that I ever attended. Rickey Medlocke was untouchable as a performer and guitar player. We all get older and I appreciate the fact that this man continues to show whole new audiences what REAL MUSIC is. The crap that is called music today is total crap as far as I am concerned. For ANYBODY that whines, bawls, or complains about anything concerning this man I would say look at what he has accomplished, and then look at yourself in the mirror and state what you have done with your life. You are one of my heroes Mr. Medlocke and you are truly loved and appreciated by anyone that knows what MUSIC IS!!!!!
Randy Porterfield: Not sure of the year, but probably 1981. I saw them together in Charlotte NC that same tour at the old Charlotte Coliseum.
I agree
I was at that Charlotte show !! Was 12 !! Lived behind the coliseum.
1980
Amen!!!💯 This is GREAT MUSIC! 👏👏🍻🔥🔥💥💪💯Some poor b*stards have never been exposed to the true soul of ROCK!! 💗👏👏👏💯💪🗽
Does not get any better than this!
Ricky is one of the most underrated great rock n rollers of our time. He made Blackfoot and kept it alive even after playing so many years with Lynyrd Skynrd. He has not forgotten his roots and Highway Song is one of the greatest jams of all times!! Thanks Ricky and Blackfoot, may you never be forgotten and may your music rock on for ages!!!
Ricky Medlocke... what an Awesomely amazing Guy, singer, Guitar player and Performer!! Mr Dilly learned from the Great One's... Thank You.. Ricky !!!👍😎🎸❤️
Blackfoot classics will live forever
To this day Highway Song gives me goosebumps when I hear it. It’s not just the music, but the memories that it brings back. What I was doing at the time, (1979) who I was in love with then, the close friends at the time, and the close calls with death, (I’m amazed that I’m still here) and learning to play the guitar. I’ve seen the original Blackfoot 3 times, and loved it every time. Twice was in a smaller venue where I was literally 5 feet away. I handed my mixed drink to the bass player Greg T Walker, who gladly took it. LOL.. The 1st time was right around the time that the Strikes album came out, and it was Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, and the Outlaws in Greensboro NC at the coliseum. I plugged in one of my guitars today and played Highway Song after seeing this. I’m 60 years old now and Ricky is 9 years older than me.
He used to be a heavy drinker as was I at the time. We have both gotten sober later in life, but he used to start his shows by breaking the seal on a fifth of Wild Turkey 101. H e would then say “This ain’t none of that 80 proof $h!t” and would proceed to drink the entire bottle by the end of the show, straight out of the bottle. Man I thought that was cool! He could out drink me and still play good!
Love that story
Neil Mcclelland - Hey Neil! How you doin?
When I was young this song was released and played on FM stations--it was one of the songs you couldn't play loud enough, especially on nighttime road trips--it literally gave me energy just by listening to it...
I seen Blackfoot, Mother's Finest, and ACDC. . I love Southern Rock.
Sing it baby. Highway Song. It's ALABAMA . Old road, green fields, skunk, and loud rock. Love you
Born 63' I'm 59 you can't take the rock out of a country girl.
Rickey Medlocke, as good as ever.
And STILL SMOKING HOT in *EVERY* sense of the word!
RICKEY MEDLOCKE IS AN AMAZING MUSICIAN. LISTENING TO HIM SINCE MID 70'S.
Great band, great song. Singing on and on and on. Thanks from Korea.
Great to see Rickey and Blackfoot back. One of my favorite bands of the 70's and beyond.
The epic highway song!
Thank you Sir for all the years of music
Rickey still got it going on, sounding better than ever
There should be a prize for people that read as many comments as you do
Rickey is an exceptionally talented and grounded musician. A true artist. Grandpappy Shorty would be proud...
Yup
He is proud
Rickey Medlock is one of the best guitarists ever, so underrated. Long grey hair, still rocking it out....for us to share. I love Blackfoot and have all of their albums...great songs that still kick ass...love me some left turn on a red light👍🎶
One very underrated artist and awesome guitar player!!!
Original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, founder of Blackfoot, Native American, also, don't forget, he has only one lung.
Most have no idea about your last point.
Original member of LS!! Ugh dude played drums on wino
orig member?
Really he's singing with one lung is it Gary or or him I've never heard this someone feel me in please
what does race have to do with it especially if someone mentioned an artist was White as some kind of quality, he/she would be called a racist today, what's good for the goose...
Medlocke = TRUE LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!
I want to be 10% like him when I Get older
Rickey Medlocke is the greatest. Live long and prosper Rickey.
man, Rickey Medlocke sound unbelievable, his playing and voice are absolutely phenomenal
His voice is great! He is 72 years old now. And still sounds just as he did at 17 years old. Great 🎶 🎵 🪕 🎼 💿 🎸 🎶 🎵 🪕 🎼 💿 🎸 singer and guitarist too. Love Blackfoot.💜Lynard Skynard he plays in now. What a true Legend!!🥰 Love Rickey Metlocke.💕
Good ole rock
Highway song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
It’s magical , Mysterious and Moving all at the same time . Incredible!
I saw them outdoors here in Virginia. These guys are outstanding and Rick Medlocke's Highway Song stole the show
Blackfoot ISN'T Blackfoot without Rickey Medlocke...PERIOD!!!
Two great songs, with such meaningful and moving lyrics. Back to back, just wonderful. When Strikes was released, I purchased ASAP, listened to it so many times, and sang along. And the joys of LS! Happy memories!
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Legends never dies. They were my teenage idols.
I've seen Rickey numerous times and have never been disappointed. One of greatest showman and guitarists of all time. I've seen others try to play Free bird. They just don't have the gift , and never will!
I saw Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet in Greenville, SC one night. Ricky Medlocke OWNED the stage doing this song. He made this lead look easy and if you know anything about guitars, it is not. He is one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived and never got the acclaim that he deserved. God bless you and yours Rickey.
I grew up cruising the streets and a mean machine when all this came about I missed that car and it brings back so many memories of so many friends that aren't here anymore may they rest in peace I love them all !! , I remember the cars bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper all you seen is tail lights and headlights from miles on and it was kind of like American graffiti good days! Peace and love to Everyone!! , I'll say this because I'm a Chevy man keep them wheels turning !!, Remember love is like a real rude it has no ties UNLESS you get married !, LOL !! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Not only the greatest guitarist in Oklahoma with the greatest guitarist in the USA God bless you
Rickey Medlocke u are the best! Keep rocking on....
R.I.P. TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE IN ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN, RICKEY, THANKS FOR HOLDING ON TO THE MUSIC AND PLAYING YOUR HEART OUT EVERY NIGHT.. YOU ROCK MAN, YOU LET ME TOUCH YOUR GUITAR IN RENO NEVADA WHILE YOU WERE PLAYING FREEBIRD, IN 2004 AT THE HILTON, TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW I HAD A TABLE THAT ALMOST TOUCHED THE STAGE, ME AND MY SON BOUGHT A 30TH ANNIVERSARY SKYNYRD GUITAR THAT NIGHT WHEN WE WERE BACKSTAGE WITH YOU AND SKYNYRD, BUT YOU CAME OVER TO OUR TABLE AND LET ME TOUCH YOUR GUITAR DURING FREEBIRD, THAT MADE MY LIFE MAN, I EVEN SAT NEXT TO YOU AND BILLY PLAYING SLOTS. I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE TWO DAYS, ROCK ON , COUSIN FIGEL
The internet can actually be a good thing sometimes. This stirred up a lot of memories. Thanks for posting.
I'm a huge Blackfoot fan and was skeptical of the new blackfoot. Not anymore, not after watching this.. These guys are good. They uphold the blackfoot tradition while leaving their own mark. I will definitely see their show when they come to Massachusetts
Highway Song live in Zurich was the first thing I saw on you tube. This has a special place in my heart, so glad Ricky can still kill it.
Just watched it...fabulous ❤
This sounds great
Amen
SINCE RICKEY HAS BEEN IN SKYNYRD FOR SO MANY YEARS, I FEEL THEY SHOULD PLAY THIS SONG AFTER THEY PLAY ALABAMA, AND BEFORE FREEBIRD, HANDS UP, FOR MR. MEDLOCKE, COUSIN FIGEL
Cousin Figel agree
Just like they should have let Hughie play an outlaws song, don't think Gary's ego will allow it.
If you follow the tempo changes in Highway Song and Freebird, they are quite the same, and I love both of them!
I absolutely think Highway Song is definitely worthy to play during Skynyrd show
Ricky Medlocke & the Band is awesome, nothing like a true Native man rocking it out.
Thank you for Blackfoot again!
Anytime
Just AWESOME,.. What else can you say,... Ricky, The man,..
BlackFoot! You boys bring back good memories when I was a young soldier serving back in the late 70s. 🇺🇸👍
Thanks for this video! Incredible performance and Rickey still sounds great.
One of the best
A True Legend.🥰 Blackfoot, And Lynard Skynard's Rock Goddess!!💜❤💗💚💙💖💛💚🧡
Rock n Roll Forevermore.♥
Huge props to that bass player KILLIN' IT!!!!
Amazing he still has it! Keep it going we all need to be supportive to all
Southern Rock ala mode. One of my top 50 songs of a 66 year life. Rock on.
Cct cct cct cct dry cry CRT 575
Thank you Ricky. Much love from Kelowna, BC
AMAZING BAND.......Highway Song is a great tune
Rickey is amazing. And he sing's only at one lung.. Love this man, take care
Saw Rickey with Lynrrd Skynyrd miss his dad. RIP. Shorty
Shorty was his Granddad.
GREAT MUSIC! Thank you, 👏👏🍻brings back good memories, good times!! 💗LISTEN UP, THIS IS WHAT GOOD MUSIC REALLY SOUNDS LIKE🗽💯💪👏👏🔥🔥💥💥
Oh Mr. Ricky Medlocke you rock! That band is outstanding!
Awesome ! Rickey sounds great !
Ricky is a great guitar player and he still cuts a fine slim figure! Rock on, Ricky Medlocke!
Wow! Very talented bunch of guys. I’ve always really liked them. I didn’t realize they had such loyal fans until after reading the comments. They are great musicians indeed.👍🎵
I got to see Blackfoot play at the Colorado Springs civic auditorium circa 79, maybe 80. My memory isn't what it was.. What I DO remember was they rocked that place!! Def Leppard was the opening act and Blackfoot's 4th encore was Highway Song.
Many of you are FOOLS. the guitar player you are making fun of is Tim Rossi and he is outstanding. the drummer had been a legend and the guitar player with long hair is my friend Jeremy Thomas. blackfoot has had dozens of members and Ricky has put together one talented lineup for his 2015 tour. stop the hate, these are talented, dedicated musicians keeping the legend alive.
+Tony Viscardi thank you
+Tony Viscera I concur with you said so sick of ppl always having some crappy negative thang to spew -out Totally Wasted!
Who's making fun ? I respect the hell out of everyone on the stage. I myself can no longer play bass because of arthritis do to hand injuries . would love to have been up there jamming with them.
agree 100% rock & rioll must never die keep the muse alive
This call respect about the music and to your friends.. tks bro.
Got the privilege to see them and Molly Hatchet at a bike rally in Texas around 2005. All I can say is WOW!
Man he still Sings and Plays Great! On & On
Outstanding Rock on Ricky
And LOOKS great doing it!
Ricky has played that solo a billion times, he left stage left. He’s earned it!!
Beautiful beautiful amazing love it
They call it " Southern Rock ", but really these are Bluesmen at their best.
This is the 5th time today I've rewatched this ,man this is amazing, man it sounds like old skynyrd
Such a Amazing Band I will Love you forever ..your. playing is so Mastered. Huge Paws Up 😻
Medlocke was always a superb guitarist, singer and general frontman. I'd love the original Blackfoot to reform and tour for old times sake and recapture that rawness from the late 70's/early 80's.
Jackson Spires is deceased.
yeah but look to your left they have the 2000s blackfoot. They were getting a following and rebuilding and he took the rug from under them.
Chuck Cape
Yes. I should have qualified that about Jackson but it will never happen now even with Hagrett and Walker.
ricky is a great guitar player for sure. he plays obviously because he loves it and great at it, pretty good voice too. im a southern rocker too. so I appreciate his talent. for damn sure!!!!
GOOOOOOD. THIS SOUND AMAZING !!!!!!!
There is nothing better in a song than twin 🎸 guitars.
RONNIE VAN ZANT STEVE GAYNES ALLEN COLLINS LEON WILKESON CASSEY GAYNES !!FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!!
marius marim Might as well add Billy Powell and Ed King.
i heard this song on the radio today so came on here to look up some live footage. My long standing memory of Blackfoot is from 1982 when they played the Reading festival in England. The headliners were Iron Maiden and at the end of the night Rickey and the lads joined Maiden on stage for a version of ZZ Top's Tush for the encore. will never forget that night.
What a unbelievable memory that makes it like the first time I heard this
I am impressed !!! Looking foward to the new cd......
Two absolute classics
Sounds as GREAT as I EVER REMEMBER . PRAYERS FOR ALL
I wish these bands would come back and take over tha stage , this is real f*kin music from tha soul , tried and true , tested by time and still sounds great !! Com'on boys 🌟Rock America Again🌟
💋
I remember seeing Blackfoot at the Harley rendezvous…this song always leaves me missing someone I once loved..,and still love…Paul Dominique…I miss you ❤Until we meet again my love❤
Never gets old !
LOVE THIS GUY!! AND BLACKFOOT! ROCK ON!!
Still SOUNDS AWESOME!LOVE THIS BAND!!!
Ive bern trying to learn this song for ever I can play it and sing it homing my skills. You guys rock
These guys should write their own songs and get their own band and continue doing blackfoot type music. I would go see them, they are good musos.
Ricky is indeed legendary
