Just a kid in 77. Working on my BMX bike and listening to Stranglehold in the garage.....Man, best time to be alive kids.
I used to see Nugent frequently, way back when Journey to the center of your mind came out. Davison Michigan
On a PBS station … glad I am 70 and grew up with the excellent creative Genius of Ted’s guitar playing….
cheers ! 🎸 🤘
68 right there with you!
Ted blOs
Uncle Ted is awesome
Yeah too bad he couldn’t just shut up and play!
In 1968 I was 10, the Amboy Duke's played at Monmouth College in Monmouth Illinois. The next day i bought a Sears guitar and have played ever since. True story folks.
profoundly inspiring
That's cool 😎 I really like the studio version. Still one of my favorites as well as Hibernation
AWESOME 💯!!!
Same here, I think it was a Harmony but that's where it came from, $29. I was 16 in 69.
@@ronaldmartino2610 it sure was my friend your comment just made me smile
Not too long after the Dukes disbanded I had the pleasure of seeing Ted Nugent band play live here in San Diego . Him stepping out on stage & just playing his ass off in front of a giant stack of amps while his hair seemed to be blowing forwards from the power of the amps & his guitar have stayed with me my entire lifetime so far . I’m only a couple months away from turning 64 & just wanna say “ Thanks Ted “ 😎👍
COOL
Hell he jumped off top of the stack to open show i saw back then !
I can relate. Saw him in Denver, 1979, 10th row…you could feel the sound waves going Through your body.
Saw Ted back in area high schools during the _Survival Of The Fittest_ days.
I recall my ears ringing for a week after one show. Got told to sit down, because I was right in front of Uncle Ted on stage with my elbows on the stage with hands under my head.
He truly was a guitar force of nature back then. Lost on today's crowd how great he was.
By the 80's, everyone else caught up to him, and his virtuosity on guitar sort of slid into oblivion.
They said you could hear him 3.5 miles away when he played in Charlotte. Lol
Great show
The Amboy Dukes were an Important part of my growing up in Detroit/I remember riding my Bike thru pouring rain to J L Hudsons to pick-up the new Migration release/At 70 yrs old like Fine Wine I still pull this Album out for the Great Memory's 🎸 Good Times 🎸
Long may you run brother!
wow thanks i m a ted nugent fan
Between Detroit, Ann Arbor, Ypsi & Pine Knob, there were multiple great concerts indoors & out every weekend back then! Even the Bingo halls rocked out!
I feel lucky growing up at Belleville in the sixties!
Detroit dragway, Milan, Flat Rock Speedway. I need a wayback machine!
Tommy Shannon on CKLW?????? Heh...Heh
Yup/Back in the day when the only radio in the family car was AM/Then we were blessed with the FM converter and WABX Underground radio/Fact the 1st time I saw the "Amboy Dukes" was on Robin Seymours "Swinging Time"
Happy New Years Brother Man 🎉
I moved up to Traverse City in 75 & became a carpet installer. Somewhere around here I have a cancelled check from Amboy Dukes Inc. That I kept after putting some carpet in a cabin of Teds.@@RobertSmith-ix1cu
Happy New Year. Stay Safe.
Ted is absolutely awesome. Master of double stops. Here we are 50+ years later and Ted can still rip it up.
thanks Uncle Ted for all of your contributions to my life and up bringing
So grateful to see this clip. I was born in 1963 and grew up in Nashville. Had a friend (of Arab descent) who migrated from Detroit when I was in middle school - hence my fascination with the Detroit rock music scene - MC5, The Stooges, Alice Cooper, and all things Uncle Ted. I used to go off dancing to Stranglehold. I'm guessing parents tuning in to this PBS broadcast took one look at Ted and assumed he's on drugs and is going to destroy our children. Here we are 53 years later when gender dysphoria is all the rage, and Ted is just down to earth.
Loved everything you said. As a 59 year old, do about your age we are so proud of our Detroit music scene. Ted is one of the giants.
👏That last sentence 👏Rev. Atrocious Theodocious in 24🇺🇸
Ted's so down to earth..........
On stage in a loin cloth on video spraying river banks with full auto weapon fire preaching save the environment shilling for the NRA and can't even blame any of it on drug abuse. Yup that's one grounded dude.
Since I graduated in 1975 Amboy Dukes I listen to and it was Heavy Music in the 70s it's great to see this video again uncle Ted at work when he was a young man
I grad same year, life sure was great back then.
Right on! Thanks Uncle Ted.
I admire Ted in countless ways. If we only all had his talent and gusto for life.
That's the truth!!!!
Then we'd all be having illegal sex with a minor. He adopted a minor as his daughter to have sex with her. LOOK IT UP.
Yeah, let's all aspire to that
I've seen how Nugent treats people face-to-face, and it shattered any illusions I had that talent somehow equals consideration for others. It's 1974, and a 40-ish woman who was attracted to him had the Madman comment loud enough so everyone in the vicinty knew, "I don't fuck my mother's friends!" Always charming, isn't he?
He once said, "I'm Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar."
Drummer is an animal😮
Like Animal (Muppet), the wild and frenzied drummer of the fictional band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
Amazin, he's beating the crap out of them!
Kinda reminds me of Keith moon
Reminds me of Keith Moon. Both looks and drumming
Using good hair product as well
Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for this. 65 year cave dweller here. No idea how I missed this masterpiece.
The studio version is incredible as well. Even better
The ultimate Party jam Amboy Dukes kicked Ass
1971 Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Ted and the Dukes , REO and Styx all on one night for 4 bux! Damn I'm getting old!
that first REO album completely ripped. sounded "nothing" like the stuff they did later on.
What a performance. Such fabulous musicians. I was born in 1964 and remember the Amboy Dukes very well. Uncle Ted is looking as mild mannered here as I ever remember seeing him.😄
That guitar has to be one special guitar full of life and beautiful musical vibes!
I saw Ted shoot his guitar with a bow in concert in 2003 or so .... I was too far back in the audience to see it well enough, but I pretty much could bet he didn't shoot this one! :)
That guitar right here do you see it? It can create a Bud Lite from a Budweiser at fifty paces😎😎😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏
Thanks Ted for all the decades of music and for your time in Santaquin, Utah when you got some dogs for hunting 🎸
Thank you Mr Nugent for decades of music and truth
Heeellll Yeah!
🎸 definetly !
Now I'm feeling my age. Could have done without the decades.
Shit happens...@@dogfaceponysoldier3135
How old is Ted here? Maybe 19-20. What an American icon. Uncle Ted was and is a badass.
THIS is the best band Ted has ever worked with.... IMHO
hmm... don't know about that.
@@stevenlornie1261
He did say "IMHO"
I can smell the vacuum tubes cooking. Most excellent!!!
DING! Old school! 💪😌👍 I just didn't like them in my TV set, but LOL, in those days you could actually FIX TVs.

😂
when this went on our Radio................we woke up to real music!
Long before Ted became the Motor City Madman, he was in a Fretboard Frenzy! All of these guys were genius .... musical chemistry that deserves to be remembered! :)
~He Always Liked Rhythm Guitars/Gibsons
..Right From The Start/Great White Buffalo!
( Everyone's Forgotten, The Music Of Yesterday )
I’d never heard of The Amboy Dukes until just now, and I certainly wouldn’t have guessed this was Ted Nugent. This randomly popped up in my recommended videos list, and I clicked on it because it was a live performance, and from the thumbnail pic (not knowing it was Ted), the big hair piqued my curiosity. Well, now I know, and am glad I watched this. Great performance. Don’t know a whole lot about his music, other than I remember seeing videos for Heads Will Roll, and Cat Scratch Fever, both of which got airplay on Mtv back in the day. Had always heard he was a great guitar player, and this performance definitely shows some of his skill level. Glad I found this, and I have to thank whatever algorithm from RUclips decided I needed to see this. Guess I should check my recommendations more often!🎸
Long before he was The Motor City Madman.... He was Ready Sweaty Teddy !
AWESOME !!!
That's the year I was born ❤
Thanks Uncle Ted!
The Year I Was Born...The Greatest Year On Earth...Big Hair, Big Guitars, Big Sound, Big Cars, Big Engines, Big Texas Nights...Thanks Ted, You Are A Madman ! 😶🧂
Say goodbye to sentiment, say hello to punk
How good is this, great music from a great band!!! Thanks Nuge.
Shit
@@plejady Shouldn't you be watching mgk videos?
Ted has more musical talent and knowledge than most people will forget
That’s because people today only hear his politics and NOT his music! And THAT is a cryin shame!
Just turned 73, grew up in Detroit, and have been hoping a video this good would turn up since RUclips first came online. If only a live video of Scottish Tea could be unearthed!
I saw the Dukes several times at the Grande Ballroom and around town.
The first time at the Grande was absolute magic! While we waited, I heard the 60Hz hum of an instrument being plugged into an amp, and then the roar of the mighty Byrd, sounding like Godzilla was ready to burst through the curtain! Hendrix, Beck and Page did feedback - nobody but Ted made a guitar sound like a huge Japanese monster! (For the uninitiated, check out the beginning of Loaded For Bear…)
A big thing back then was Clapton’s ‘woman tone’. Yeah, I loved it - Sunshine of Your Love - great stuff! But have you ever heard anything creamier than Ted’s tone in the main melody of Migration? And the BB King-inspired vibrato? Gorgeous. He had amazing technique for his age and the time period.
IMO, the Amboy Dukes days represented a high point for Ted’s melodic soloing creativity that wasn’t matched nearly often enough in his subsequent solo career. (There were high points and good songs later on - no denying that.)
Also great to see Andy Solomon, Dave Palmer and Greg Arama in the spotlight in this video. He was very much ahead of the curve on bass in the late 60s! R.I.P. Greg.
I hate you..
Just kidding man
. But awesome you experienced all that... Awesome
I used to see them out at Davison. Sherwood Forest. Seen Nugent more times than I can count back in the day. He was as good a guitarist at that time as anyone on the planet. I am 73 as well
I was born in 71 so this was my first experience on the Dukes. I had heard of them, but never heard them. Great soloing by Ted, and being a bass player for 40 years, my hats off to Greg for sure. Making 3 strings sound that gòod.
@@danieldetrick1230 Try to find the best of the Amboy Dukes. Or look for "Journey to the center of your mind" here on RUclips. Good stuff!
I BELIEVE RUclips has Scottish Tea on it. I am going to double check (and listen again) now.
An amazing composition preserved how it deserves to be.
Groovy man🌼🍄
Awesome!
Good stuff Uncle Ted
That's the Ted and Amboy Dukes that I loved. I've been a drummer since 1963.
Thanks for this great post.
Uncle TED always gave the audience more than what they thought they were going to get. TED and Frank Zappa are two of my all-time free form favorites.
Wow I've forgotten how our hair was back in the days of freedom 🇺🇸 🌎 ✌🏻
OMG if I didn't use African hair care products, mine would look like I just jumped out of a tree somewhere in Borneo. Got Asian ancestry but sure didn't get THAT hair. 😤
---Marya Kamilla 🐎🐎🐎 🇺🇸 🇭🇺 🇲🇳👑
I'm 71 and I saw the Dukes at a club called Rainy Daze in St. Louis County, MO. Great show! Also got to see Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and Rush there all before they got huge. Those were the days!
Chesterfield, Mo. Where I grew up. My older sister and brother went to Rainy Daze. KSHE and KADI on the radio whenever they drove me placeless...
1974?
Great guitarist Great band Ted's the man
Classic Ted, before he was UNKLE TED! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Ted, for all the music and memories! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this 💕
You always brought the energy and attitude to kick some ass. Cheers!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE THIS VIDEO.. THE AUDIO.
THE VISUAL.
THE TRACK IT'S SELF.. WITH SLIGHT ODD-TIME SIGNATURE'S.. IT IS BY FAR AND AWAY MY FAVORITE UNCLE~MR.TED NUGENT TRACK...
First saw Nugent in 1975, Long Beach Arena. He opened for Blue Oyster Cult & Kansas. We on the west coast hadn't heard of him then. We certainly did after that.
Just listened to this album on a stoned country drive through Hudson Valley New York🎉
Quite a BIG nod to "Beck's Bolero" mixed into this one! 😎👍
Noticed that myself.
I wore the grooves off of Truth and Beck-o-la.
@scottwilliams8334 As you should have - lol.
Me also along with Blow by Blow and Wired.
They were all amazing, at their best together, the nudge….from another planet. Thanks
Takes me back to the agora mid seventies Cleveland Ted Nugent the Amboy dukes Bob Seger and the silver bullet band it Rocked Baby never too old✌️❤️bro.
I saw Glass Harp open up for the Amboy Dukes at the Agora in Columbus, around 1970. I went for Ted, but was also blown away by Phil Keaggy, who I’d never heard of before that night.
I can still hear the sweet volume swells on Phil’s Les Paul from that show! What a night for guitar lovers!
Ted often said that Phil Keaggy was "the only guitarist that makes me sweat." Phil became a born again Christian and still plays in Christian bands today.
1st guy had the chance to see Backstage ❤❤🎶💗🎶🎄😘😘🌟🌟👍👍
Thank you for putting this up!
I have always wanted to hear for myself how good these gentlemen are.
Amboy dukes the start of the magical mystery tour,and its still rockn the roll these days,thanks for the decades of fine fine play'n
I grew up on Grand River and Shaefer, my opinion is that Tooth, Fang and Claw will never be topped, an absolute masterpiece of Detroit rock !
Edit : masterpiece of Rock . . . . period !
I grew up on Dix and Champaign, Lincoln Park, Tooth Fang and Claw is awesome.
The first time i heard Hibernation i was 14 yo and baked. i knew my life had been changed forever... i am now 58 and i was right!
@@richardclark.
It's one helluva song , id even say a masterpiece ! that whole album is killer , Lady Luck reminds me of Michigan when i was young and strong .
@@TheRydog61 - Dix and Champaign, hey? I grew up on steak and potatoes... haha... just fuckin around, I'm local too... cheers, man!
incredible talents in all players...
From this one song, I can hear at least 3 Ted Nugent songs that had evolved from this when Ted went Solo.
Ted Nugent really is an amazing musician.
Hibernation, Stranglehold and....?
Homebound? I hear that in the begining of this jam, even in the opening bass riff...
I was thinking the same.
Cat scratch fever
That was just beautiful.
Ted, I've been a fan of yours for coming up 50 years now. Great to see a video I haven't seen before of the Amboy Dukes.
When men were men, who were talented and played outstanding and exceptional music. The good old days...
What a musical journey!
I freakin' love this one! The Amboy Dukes totally rule!!! 😎👍
We need some of this older stuff, thanks
Much more!
Ted Nugent 🎸 and Amboy Dukes music brings back some great memories. Thank you and Happy New Year Uncle Ted and Family!! 🎉
Still rocking out with Uncle Ted for over 50 years. I've had the pleasure of seeing him perform overseas as well as in the states and recently during his farewell tour right in my hometown.
Love this. First time seeing this. Destined for greatness
Nice Fro Ted!!
These guys played at my High School auditorium, in the early 70's. It was like a dollar or two for admission.
Thank you for sharing this Uncle Ted, it kicks ass!
Brilliantly done ❤
Excellent.!!!.greetings from the Keweenaw peninsula ..
That's some awesome hair Ted! Amazing talent there for such young ages.
I love this; great musicians ! ❤
That was killa. Never heard any of their songs until this one. Will have to check them out now
Psalms 33:2 “Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.”
Well if you add the bass and guitar together...hmm. Thanks for the post
Always playing that Byrdland!
I m 49 and how i love that music ❤ i would prefer to have 20 in 1970
This is superb. Heard a touch of early "Hibernation" every now and then. Love that song. All the Amboy Dukes albums are great. Post, post, and post. Thank you, sir.
Dare I say it, Ted sounds faintly jazzy here, and he's wearing that Byrdland pretty high up. A far better guitarist than some people want to believe.
His playing goes in areas few expect. His personality and politics eclipse his guitar. He has major chops. I have seen Ted play well over 15 times. He has great energy and rock fury, and he is a smart fellow. He has skills.
Maestro
I remember buying the Migration album on intuition. Prodigal Son really knocked me out. Very underated group. Marriage on thr Rocks is also a brilliant album.
One of my all time fave songs. Beautiful sounding footage from those times!
This song makes me travel in my imagination.
Mid south coliseum , mid 70’s , Memphis Tn, Great Show!! Thanks Ted !!
This video of Ted reminds me of a race horse wanting to run but is hobbled. I saw Ted live in Seattle in 1978 where he came out on stage swinging on a rope from standing on a mountain of Marshall Amps wearing only a loin cloth like Tarzan! And ROCKED like the wild man he is. God bless Ted Nugent, and God bless the United States of America!
Ted used MADE IN USA Fender Super Twins when you saw him. Here he using a Fender Twin Reverb amp. Would have sounded better with a MADE IN UK Marshall. This is the longest video of Ted not saying anything.. must have been killing him.
@24meandyounothing I wonder how Ted would've sounded with a Hiwatt stack. That's be interesting.
That was Teds Signature entrance during those Monsters of Rock tours. I saw him do that same thing. He played with Cheap Trick, AC/ DC and BOC In the Oakland Coliseum. It was amazing and loud.
I also witnessed the the Young Ted in Lakeland, FL 1979 with my friend Mr. Natural. The Tarzan entry blew my mind.
Nugent played fender amps.
Uncle Ted how many of these guys are still with us?
Beautiful song. Never heard this before thank you 🤙
wow these dudes are cool man✌ill be looking for more of them
The mix for a 1970 pbs tv show is pretty darn good. Someone knew what they were doing.
@bmart5353 Yes they did . Your remark is noteworthy. I remember on another vintage video and I addressed an obviously young commenter who talked about how sloppy the camera work and how bad the mix was and that included cumbersome psychedelic manipulations. I enlightened him about how a lot of those people were from the World War II generation and that they didn’t understand rocknroll and all its genres and many didn’t respect the music or musicians. There were lot of bad TV productions
Except that they mic'ed the bass cabinet instead of D.I.'ing it. Still sounds great and very bassy! Ted could be louder!
@@FlipDahlenburg Yes this was filmed at the tv studio, channel 33 WITF,a very hip PBS station in Chocolate Town Hershey Pa !! That very same year,I believe, Leslie West and Mountain also played at "The Show" as it was called then...very cool.
This is amazing footage of the Amboy Dukes that I didn’t even know existed! And Ted with a Fro!
The musicianship is incredible! They were a jam band galore. They played like they were on fire! And they sounded like they could blow headliners off the Stage! They probably did!
Thanks so much for sharing this rarity!
😊
I've got curly hair and during the long hair hippie phase I was pissed as hell because mine grew up and out like Ted's. All my friends had this long, beautiful hair (to quote the song),and I had to be careful not to knock stuff over.
@@scottwilliams8334 I always liked the Fro. I always wished I could grow one but when I tried to my hair looked liked like a helmet 🪖 So it was a No Go!
Ted sporting the Mo Fro
he was from Detroit motor city.
Thank you for posting this! Fabulous
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Wish I could have seen this at the Grande Ballroom
Saw them at the Grande, East Town and Cobo.
Ears are still ringing- how sweet it is! 😁
Ted, I have 2 ueuginal vinyl LP of the Amboy Dukes. Matter of fact I have all of your LP records. Seen you live in Corpus Christi, I had the VIP pass which I still have. Got to look at the date but believe it was 2002
Outstanding. Thank-you for putting this up.
I could listen to this all day! Everyday!! Awesome!!!!!
I wonder if he still has that Byrdland.
The hell with the guitar, what about that jacket ???
I believe in a video from 2016 that was #4 he takes a wood burner and puts his name and what # guitar it is..that looks like the #4 .it's all beat up and checked
Do you refer to the semi-acoustic Gibson Byrdland? Yes, he had it fully restored a couple years back & played it on his (other?) YT channel. At least I think that's the one. 🤔
---Marya Kamilla 🐎🐎🐎 🇺🇸 🇭🇺 🇲🇳👑
Ted has about 30 Byrdlands he's a collector.
@@50gary Along with many other non-Byrdland guitars 🎸🎸🎸
Is the ' 🏁 Motor City Madman ' playing psychedelic style on this solo?? Love it❤❤
Good Lord!!! That was absolutely magnificent! Thank you so much for sharing that treasure with we, the unworthy!!
Incredible how fast this Band within 2 years quickly evolved to get better after their first Album.
Ted please keep posting this footage is amazing to see would love to see a real live version of journey to center of mind any footage from survival of the fittest era
It’s on RUclips!
ruclips.net/video/mrUH9pGk90w/видео.htmlsi=OXjMRbnr-bF0F8fL
Andy Solomon could have given Jon Lord a run for his money in my opinion.... Both great organ grinders.....
I saw Uncle Ted at least 5-6 times in the late 70’s. He was constantly on tour. Great memories.
Damn.....I hadn't heard this b4. IV been a fan of Ted for YEARS. Ever since my uncle got his autograph for me (which I still display with pride on my wall! Killer video!
