Ricky Medlocke one of the most underrated guitar player and musicians ever Blackfoot and the original drummer of Skynyrd and then guitarist for Skynyrd from the tribute tour on southern rock lives on!🎸🎼🎶🎵
He wasn't the original drummer for Skynyrd. Bob burns was. He played on the first and the last lp in 71 to 72 .But the lp wasn't released until 1978. He had credits for 4 songs on that lp. He sung White dove.
What a great guitar player, singer and songwriter, Rick Medlocke. Isaw him often live, he´s a living legend and helped his Indian Brothers where ever it was possible....!!!!Respect!.
I do agree! Wow!! This summer I'll be seing Lynyrd Skynyrd in Berlin on their Farewell Tour of Europé. Long live Southern Rock! And as long as Rickey Medlock and Gary Rossington still is alive and playing - it's a dream come true for me...
Deep nostalgia with this song...brings tears......had this song in my heart..as I thumbed...42 years ago ------ til I die , will always remember ------------ Thanks Medlocke . Musician. --
absolutely phenomenal, Medlocke is a beast, I've had the privilege of seeing him with skynyrd several times, also had the privilege of seeing Hughie Thomasson from the outlaws when he was in skynyrd, long live southern rock
It's hard to believe, it was roughly 40 yrs ago, I saw Ricky and the boys for the first time. They warmed up for Foghat! I was worn out by the time Foghat took the stage. Love seeing Ricky now w Skynard, but I sure miss Blackfoot
One of my favorite songs of all time! Amazing, Medlocke dominates guitar and I love how much he always feels the music. Also amazes me how many people don't even know who Blackfoot is. For those that don't..Man they are missing out on one of the greatest bands ever.
ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!! grew up on this and love this shit!!!!!! classic.... my dad raised me by himself and I am raising 2 boys alone... love it and teach them this all the time!!!!
Could listen to Ricky Rattlesnake sing and pick all day long! This song is to Blackfoot what Freebird is to Skynyrd or Whipping Post is to the Allman Brothers, or Green Grass and High Tides is to the Outlaws.
There's a CD of the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" featuring Blackfoot that has an amazing version this song that has Kenny Hensley (Uriah Heep) on keyboards doing a solo. Epic!
Saw Blackfoot open for the Who in 1980. Some great mind altering substances that night, but I still remember how Medlocke and the boys got the crowd ready for Townsend and Daltry. Great show!
Hard to tell under all that lush hair but the guitarist is Mark Woerpel with Tim Stunson on bass. Rickey was criticized for hiring these "hard rock" musicians. But I think they are a feast for the ears ........ and eyes
Saw original lineup in 82 at Orpheum theater in Boston,MA. 3rd row! Incredible!!Ricky has been in Skynyrd for quite awhile now and I think they should let him do this song! Awesome talent indeed!
Thanks everyone for supporting my comments! Like I said this has to be one of the greatest ever rock songs , simply stunning! Shame Blackffot never got recognition they deserved , saw them twice in 80's at Castle Donnigton Monster and Knebwoth supporting Deep Purple, so f@@king good!!
The t-shirt Mark Woerpol (rhythm gtr) is wearing in this video was given to Mark by my boys Frank & Shane and myself at the Buffalo Rose in Golden, Co. The t-shirt was from "The Concert for Colorado" featuring by appearance: Poco, Jefferson Starship, Alro Guthrie, Leon Russell & the Allman Brothers Band. My boys & i performed stage hand assistance, backstage security & photography for 2 days earlier. This concert was sponsored by Governor Roy Romer's folks to help stop gang violence in schools statewide.
I saw Blackfoot open for Ted Nugent in NJ in 1981in fact it was Krokus,Blackfoot,Ted amd it was a great show.Blackfoot is an excellent band and Medlocke in my opinion is one of the top 20 guitar players in Rock.

Yes! They have returned to blackfoot,check out their new album "Legends never die".
I saw this same tour in Germany at small club in Ashaffenburg. I was front row. Met Rickey after the show and he autographed my covers of Strikes,Tomcattin and Skynyrds First and Last.. Cool guy.
i went to the knebworth fayre in '84 to see the deep purple reunion gig, had never heard of blackfoot before then; these guys stole theshow in my opinion!! how many bands could be this great, and even do wishin well better than free?? awesome!!
I saw a very young Def Leppard open for Blackfoot at Hare Arena in Dayton, Oh. in 1981. I'm a month away from being 47 now, been to a lot of concert's through the years, but Medlocke can jam with the best of them.
Rickey is the best, but I sure do miss him singing. I'm sure Skynyrd must be a sweet deal for him, and I love Skynyrd, but I would love to see him front Blackfoot one more time. God bless Jackson, rest his soul.
@hiwayman0 Thanks Hiway. I have been looking for the Sweden show for years. I am happy with the quality. Those old concerts were never meant to be on DVD.
By the end of that Tour We ended up opening for them. Lot of road stories from the tour. I worked with the manaement for a bunch of years. Great times. I think this line up is the best line up Blackfoot ever had., Ricky, Mark Woerpel,Tim Stinsun and Benny Rappa-- Hell yea.....
@ballerstatus1987 Called southern rock, why don't you just sit back and listen to what a great band created for millions to enjoy. Freebird and Highway song have significant differences, Sure they both start slow and end with a guitar outro, but the lyrics and the guitar remain totally unique.
The bass player is Tim Stinson though I do not know where he is today. Benny Rappa is on drums. He was at one time in White Face and Liz Larin. As much as the original band was great, Mark Woerpel was great to.
who underrated them then? and the song? I read somewhere that it was very special to get to the hitlist with a 7 minute song and the band is great and surely skynyrd recognized rickey's brilliancy!
This guitar looks like a hamer but your right its not the same sound. What kind of hamer did rickey play in the 82' Zurich version of this song? Any idea?

I saw them in Madison Wisconsin at a small bar in the late winter of 92. Great show!! This song still rocks and always will!!!! So does Ricky!

Rickey was one great frontman with Black Foot,saw the original band twice,alot of energy
Could listen to Ricky Rattlesnake sing and pick all day long! This song is to Blackfoot what Freebird is to Skynyrd or Whipping Post is to the Allman Brothers, or Green Grass and High Tides is to the Outlaws.
That's for sure!

@hiwayman0 Thanks Hiway. I have been looking for the
Sweden show for years. I am happy with the quality. Those
old concerts were never meant to be on DVD.
Thos were the good old days for sure never again !
Rick the Rattlesnake Medlocke is one of the best badass musicians ever! Saw Blackfoot in a small club in Dundalk,Md in 1990!
Rickey frickin' Medlocke. Can't get any better than that. Skynrd should let him do the singing.
rickey sang white dove with skynyrd.
@@d.b.rackstrawd.b.rackstraw1785 and Seasons, long ago and before they became famous.
Fuckiing Woerpel! Mark and Rickey were so good together wish it would have lasted longer!
By the end of that Tour We ended up opening for them. Lot of road stories from the tour. I worked with the manaement for a bunch of years. Great times. I think this line up is the best line up Blackfoot ever had., Ricky, Mark Woerpel,Tim Stinsun and Benny Rappa-- Hell yea.....
First time I saw Blackfoot was at Florida Jam 1 in 1984. They rocked it then and now.
Here we go again in my SUPERBEE kicking ass
Saw these guys in 1982. My God, they were loud. IIRC they supported Frank Marino or the Scorpions. Melodic rock at its finest.
Love Blackfoot.
Sing It 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Rickey Medlocke Sound good 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Never really listened to the lyrics of this song..... it's as good as any road song. Right up there with seager, bon Jovi ect..
Amen about them being underrated. Rickey Medlocke owns.

The other guitar player here is Mark Woerpel. He is also the lead guitarist and lead vocalist for the Band - Warp Drive, out of Detroit.
Must be Karlshamnsfestivalen, Bellevueparken, Karlshamn, Sweden 👍😊
these guys were from my hometown!
awesome band
EXCELLENT.
OUTSTANDING!!
Saw backdoor support the scorpions they were superb
The bass player is Tim Stinson though I do not know where he is today. Benny Rappa is on drums. He was at one time in White Face and Liz Larin.
Oh for the good ole southern rocknroll days
I hear you loud and clear
R.I.P Jackson Spires..One of the class acts in the biz..So's Rickey.
In memory of my gusband;baby sending love 2 heaven
Allan Collins' Explorer is at the r&r hall of fame and museum in Cleveland.

The bass player is Tim Stinson though I do not know where he is today. Benny Rappa is on drums. He was at one time in White Face and Liz Larin.
As much as the original band was great, Mark Woerpel was great to.
