This is kind of a bittersweet concert because it was the last one with Rob Grange and Derek St. Holmes. They both made up a big part of Ted Nugent's sound.
I agree After that we got 'Weekend Warrior", and Ted's short-- but great--music music making career went bye-bye. I remember when I bought Weekend Warrior, and listened to it, I thought "what a bunch of crap"......sadly. :(
boy, ain't it the truth,I remember buying those albums, and just going, what?, then you'd put on stranglehold. they are back together now and still rockin though.
This band was a great combination of musicians. Ted's lead guitar, Derrick's lead vocal and back up guitar, and the hard driving combination of bass and drums. Yes, I saw Ted after this band broke up and yes, the new band was not the same.
Derek St. Holmes was a great singer, Ted should've done more to keep him in the band. Likewise the bassist Rob Grange holdin' down the bottom end. They were a huge part of Ted's sound.
@@petiteetngo That is true, I heard a Ted Nugent interview on the radio in the late 1970's (I lived in Pittsburgh at the time) after the Double Live Gonzo album and he said there was only room for one alpha male, and that is, Ted Nugent. What a loss due to Nugent's arrogance and/or jealousy. Nugent's albums were all mediocre at best after Double Live Gonzo, although Weekend Warriors was...OK.
The early band created the best of Ted Nugent. When he fired them his music suffered. Ted ego was just to great. He wanted to be top dog and didn’t want to share the limelight
Great concert me (16yrs old)and a buddy drove down from Sacramento. We were around 300 yards from the stage right in the middle of a mass of 300,000 people. Got Ty stick from marines from camp Pendleton on the middle of the 210 in a five hour traffic jam getting into the concert. Aerosmith blew the doors off everybody.
Got to see this lineup 3 times in Colorado. I met him at a off road event sponsored by Budweiser. Still have pictures and he gave me his autograph. He even brought his Mom with him. Nice guy.
I was 19 living in Huntington Beach, CA. going to college with a dorm next to the pool and we needed a break..lol. So we all got tickets and headed there on a Friday night and got back Sunday night. What a memory!
I remember as I got my high school diploma and was leaving the parking lot in my 72 Gran Torino Sport 351 C J doing a hundred twenty miles an hour listening to this, life doesn't get any better. in fact I used to watch Derek st. Holmes pick up one of my neighbors he was dating. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪
um, yes, and quite clearly I might add. Ted is the man, his band, his music, he kills continually with different players, not saying one isn't slightly better than the other, but IT IS Ted's band.
Not likely, Not Marino, not even close. Marino is far better than Nugent ever thought of, that said, I like Nugent, I love the way he fucks up liberals. Journey? Not in the time I seen them, that was Neils best years, guitarist wise, ted isn't even close to that. He was professional, his solos are VERY meek and mild. He doesn't really have the licks, and licks make a guitarist. Not just a great singer backup.
Rick Rozz . . You liberals never cease to amaze me. You've got that completely backwards. Derrick held on to the shirt tail of Ted Nugent, NOT the other way around! While I'll agree that Derrick is a damned good singer, he's the one that probably would have never made it if it weren't for Ted. In fact Teds group let him in all the way back in the Amboy Dukes days in the 60s. Ted was already established with songs like Journey to the center of the mind. They let Derrick in. I don't understand why you lefty libs can't accept a legend like Ted for what he is. No wonder we despise you twisted libs bad as we do.
Went to this show, and saw him every time he was in town. Anaheim Stadium, Long Beach arena, even went to a TV special filming I think it was at Reseda Country Club. Played Cat Scratch fever something like 3 times in a row, no other songs.
Derek and Ted what a awesome rock pair. They have hooked up many times since. Wish they could of stayed together the whole time. Still buddies to the day though. Great rock and roll here boys and girls...
Saw Ted & the boys 3 wk.ends in a row; World Series of Rock(Cleveland), Legend Valley(Columbus) and Pine Knob(N. Detroit). Way back in summer of 1980. My hearing hasn't been the same since. Played so loud it was like someone shoving knitting needles in my eardrums! But what a way to lose your hearing; right?!!
Great band. Had no idea who Derek St Holmes was till I saw them live. First on the bill followed by Blue Oyster Cult and ZZ Top. Nugent band stole the show.
Tanx Art....Glad you liked It ! Was Teds Sound Man 75 thru 84 ....What did you Say ? Huh ? .....I mix Symphony's Now ! This Gig Was Fun ...We flew in by Helicopter
What a awesome Jam. We were in front of the closest left giant speaker........Good spot, put them practically on our laps.........Hot! Hot! That day....Fun.
Just prior to this performance Ted was stuck in the African wild for 2 weeks, almost killed, hadn't touched a guitar in 30 days, & still had African mud and blood on him. Immediately following the gig, the band members quit and his wife filed for divorce. True story.
i saw Ted once in the80's. he was headlining the show over Pat Travers and The Scorpions. Derek wasn't there and when i found out (that he wasn't),i thought oh fuck Mathias Jabs is waste a madman and his whole set. i was wrong. Ted didn't come to campaign in manner of today - he came to gig¬ talk. back in the day,i have to believe that he had less to think abt and was a happier man.
I came into the concert thinking that the Mathias might be a better player than Ted or that he'd put on a bigger show. 6string -sting (world wide live) was on my mind
nugent at his best just playing with dsh singin . saw last nite and had forgot teds 68 until he said it , still on full tilt and playin guitar as good as ever . was an excellent concert . has an awesome drummer . btw , reading below that nugent was better than marino . yes nugent has better lyrics / singing and entertainment talent / style , but frank marino is a more talented guitarist ! if he would have played in a band with smarter leadership and better singer / lyrics say zepplin for instance he would be seen as at the top with anybody . johnny winter , marino , carlos santana all were better guitarist that ive seen . and that heart girl aint bad , she might even dog uncle ted lol . but the greatest was dime , he brought it like no other after learnin from those before him ! not to mention the power in dimes lyrics which is what got him murdered by globalist scum no doubt . he coulda have started a very powerful movement against them so they killed him . but anyway we all have our favorites those are mine . and credit to ted as hes still an excellent entertainer and guitarist . even added a bunch of very truthful and derrogative statements about the insane liberal new world order trash to his show which made the nite even better !
They're 2 completely different players. Jabs may be a more well rounded player but why concern yourself? Enjoy what they do. I think they're both incredible and unique.
It was called the Ted Nugent band of course he wanted control it was his band and he at the helm. If people want control of their band then they need to start a band.
The whole band, Ted, Cliff Davies on drums,Rob Grange Bass, Derek on guitar and vocals. The best band ever!
Derrick St Holmes was the best vocalist Ted ever had.
No my friend...Ted was the best vocalist Ted ever had
@@rudyblozen4236 both of you are correct because it's only an opinion
Derrick's great, also a great guitar player!
The two songs that Meatloaf did were incredible as well.
Meat did five songs on Free For All if my memory serves me well.
These 4 guys...Ted, Derek, Rob and Cliff...what can you say...pure fucking greatness...they fucking owned.
The best!
Yup
Yes I sent them live several times. Ted mucked up because of his ego and replaced this time tested band

+Dale C me too
I agree, Derek St. Holmes one of the top singers in rock history
I agree. They brought a depth to the band that left with them.
What memories! I was actually at this concert. Near the front. It was and still is amazing to to remember.
This band was a great combination of musicians. Ted's lead guitar, Derrick's lead vocal and back up guitar, and the hard driving combination of bass and drums. Yes, I saw Ted after this band broke up and yes, the new band was not the same.
March 18, 1978. God bless the Ted Nugent band. R.I.P Clifford Davies.
WE all love Ted but, Derrick was his band hands down.THEY ROCKED !!!
Derek St. Holmes was a great singer, Ted should've done more to keep him in the band. Likewise the bassist Rob Grange holdin' down the bottom end. They were a huge part of Ted's sound.
Ted's ego wouldnt allow it. if he had just handed the vocals over to him. He'd have been huge. That bluesy vocal is just sweet sounding.
Lets not ever forget Cliff Davies either, also a huge part of Ted's sound!!!!!!
@@WarcraftIsForVirgins He said in his book that there would be only one Alpha male in his band. But damn, that Derek can sing rock and roll.

Man! Excellent my Conservative brother!!! . . Thanks so much for NOT being a lib!
Please
Right on
Ok 35 years later and I still get goose bumps when Ted makes that axe bleed!!
I saw him this tour 46 years ago today with Lynyrd Skynyrd before the plane crash they both rocked it.
Got to see this lineup 3 times in Colorado. I met him at a off road event sponsored by Budweiser. Still have pictures and he gave me his autograph. He even brought his Mom with him. Nice guy.

in fact I used to watch Derek st. Holmes pick up one of my neighbors he was dating. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪
Derek was the man. Everyone remembers him as "The" vocalist for Ted. Anybody remember Charlie Hunn?
um, yes, and quite clearly I might add. Ted is the man, his band, his music, he kills continually with different players, not saying one isn't slightly better than the other, but IT IS Ted's band.
Saw Ted and the lads back in the summer of 1979 at the Meadowlands. They blew the doors off Aerosmith, Journey and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush.
I saw the Scorpions mop the stage of the Seattle Center Coliseum with Nugent's loincloth when they opened for him on their Lovedrive Tour in late '79.
Fred Lamprey Nice
Not likely, Not Marino, not even close. Marino is far better than Nugent ever thought of, that said, I like Nugent, I love the way he fucks up liberals. Journey?

Was at that show it was 1978
If not for Derek St. Holmes... there wouldn't have been much of a Ted Nugent. Cheers & Peace.

Don't be silly
This was my first concert!!!!
Me too
i wish the doctor would order me some "over dose of rock n roll"
Just seen Derek Friday still sounds great @68
Went to this show, and saw him every time he was in town. Anaheim Stadium, Long Beach arena, even went to a TV special filming I think it was at Reseda Country Club. Played Cat Scratch fever something like 3 times in a row, no other songs.
Derek and Ted what a awesome rock pair. They have hooked up many times since. Wish they could of stayed together the whole time. Still buddies to the day though. Great rock and roll here boys and girls...
I was about 150 yards from the stage and the ground vibrated for about a half hour after Ted's set
I was 16 probably 50 yards past the second stack of speakers
both Derek and Charlie are really great singers and players. I cover lots of theirs and Teds songs with my band
Saw Ted & the boys 3 wk.ends in a row; World Series of Rock(Cleveland), Legend Valley(Columbus) and Pine Knob(N. Detroit). Way back in summer of 1980. My hearing hasn't been the same since.

Was there. Too incredible
Great band. Had no idea who Derek St Holmes was till I saw them live. First on the bill followed by Blue Oyster Cult and ZZ Top. Nugent band stole the show.
If there was a tighter band around at that time, I never heard them.
They owned shit back in the 70"s and 80"s ///Listen
I was there...3rd of the way back right side...sweet memories
At the Meadowlands NJ show in 1978 Charlie Huhn was singing for Ted Nugent. Derek had left the band.I was at the concert.
I was there for both CAL JAMS it was awesome
I saw Ted and ACDC together around 80🤘
Tanx Art....Glad you liked It ! Was Teds Sound Man 75 thru 84 ....What did you Say ? Huh ? .....I mix Symphony's Now ! This Gig Was Fun ...We flew in by Helicopter
I can only imagine how awesome it was playing at that volume!😊
seen him in 1978 grand slam jam tour the NUG / Heart / Cheap Trick / Nazz.
Happy 65th Derek. Talented songwriter and musician, not to mention how easy on the eyes you are. Seeing anyone? ;-0
Fucking Derek doin' the his chuck berry thing...lol. good times.
Dereks last show with the original line up.
Cool Seeing Young Ted, but the camera footage is terrible for 1978
I would have hated to be in any of the other bands at Cal Jam 2 that had to follow Uncle Ted and company, those four guys were a tough act to follow.
i would go see derek in a heartbeat without ted-he is great !!
cal jam 2 i was there too
What a awesome Jam. We were in front of the closest left giant speaker........Good spot, put them practically on our laps.........Hot! Hot! That day....Fun.
I was right down front, I was 16 years old, before Ted got into politics he was great!!
I was 14 way back couldn't even see Ted scared as hell but what a memory lol
Vinny Angell . . Teds music was great, but his politics is absolutely fantastic! I despise liberals to my very core.
Vinny Angell - What? Hell his "politics" is the best thing about him! You must be a twisted lefty lib.
Still great. Great rock is great rock. Who cares about politics? Most are left-wing. Are you concerned about that?
esta canción me hace recordar a rock and roll de led zeppelin
It should have reminded Nugent & Co of 'Paperback Writer' by the Beatles-and thus been rejected..
Damian Crudden You are right.
i saw uncle ted way back
Great Day
Just prior to this performance Ted was stuck in the African wild for 2 weeks, almost killed, hadn't touched a guitar in 30 days, & still had African mud and blood on him. Immediately following the gig, the band members quit and his wife filed for divorce. True story.
nineball26 . . Agreed! If you throw motorcycles and guitars in the equation then I'm all in 100%.
Bullshit.
That's uncle Ted for ya
@@waynebhase4436 he gave an interview about it here
ruclips.net/video/7hRLRolQpNk/видео.htmlsi=NyMvGN0CYNMa7LSI
liked it better when the madman sang himself
@StockDoc1 LOL.. Right on.. and old UFO too! LIGHTS OUT!
HELLZAPOPPIN!
@motorcityquig Meatloaf was pretty darn good, too bad he never toured with Ted.
This is sad. Not only is he "on the verge of a nervous breakdown", he doesn't know the meaning of the common verb "quit"
It's so Crazy...
The 10 fingers of doom!!
@StockDoc1 Stock I couldnt agree with ya more!! One bad ass album, GWB, and Hibernation as well!!!!
Could you clarify what your point was about Matthias Jabs.
@motorcityquig TRUE THAT
PRESCRIPTION!! Day Off, rest, eat and yes ROCK'N ROLL!! Just what the Doctor ordered! :-)
i was there
i saw Ted once in the80's. he was headlining the show over Pat Travers and The Scorpions. Derek wasn't there and when i found out (that he wasn't),i thought oh fuck
Mathias Jabs is waste a madman and his whole set. i was wrong. Ted didn't come to campaign in manner of today - he came to gig¬ talk.
back in the day,i have to believe that he had less to think abt and was a happier man.
Last performance with Derek?
Is that a 3/4 size Les Paul that Derrick's got?
Was Frankie Marino opening?
The only second of this great clip you need to see is 1:26. ........enough said
I came into the concert thinking that the Mathias might be a better player than Ted or that he'd put on a bigger show.
6string -sting (world wide live) was on my mind

Ted's ego got in the way..St.John took to much attention away from him!! Lol
Of course. Charlie was a good replacement . Good voice. And he was on my favorite Ted Nugent albums. Especially Weekend Warriors.
nah, Ted was still the boss without Derek and Charlie was good and so was Ted's albums. At least through Scream Dream. But yeah, I dig Derek too man.
audio not great
They're 2 completely different players. Jabs may be a more well rounded player but why concern yourself? Enjoy what they do. I think they're both incredible and unique.
I was there when I was jailbait. Great showman, but a real jerk!!!
It was called the Ted Nugent band of course he wanted control it was his band and he at the helm. If people want control of their band then they need to start a band.
No shit? Sound man in the studio and concert?
Ted thought he was the shit until EVH dusted his ass off.
Turd Nugget needed a doctor just a few minutes after this lousy performance - he was beaten up onstage. Hahahahaha! 😅
ted was average just boring blues.........
