In my opinion, there will never be a better group in Country Music than Alabama. So many great songs, full of many great memories.

[@thooks1234]

100% Correct. There will never be another. Their songs are just original soul.

[@jeremytessier192]

Your 💯

[@MjHarris-qb1xd]

I agree

[@RitaRay-n9p]

I have all their songs on thumb drive and play it in car. My kids grew up with me and Alabama and love to ride with me as I play it

[@kevinchandler179]

I agree totally, also love the Oak Ridge Boys as well, but these guys are the kings 🤴!!!

[@NiMari.]

So powerful... It broke my heart to see Jeff's guitar standing there in the spotlight, it's strings silent yet its sound echoing in all our hearts and minds. What a wonderful tribute it was. It made my eyes leak.Thank you for the music Randy, Teddy and Jeff.❤

[@bryannabb0]

Damn right...well said

[@Sunshine_Suzie_Q]

I broke into ugly tears on mountain Music missing Jeff. Puts life into perspective!!

[@heathermilligan393]

I cried it does feel good to be born and bred here ❤

[@tonywatson4019]

Same here as soon as I saw Jeff’s guitar my eyes teared up I saw them back in 21 and they played the song they wrote for Jeff so beautiful what an amazing band and I’m so happy for all the great music they have blessed us with

Not many artists can say it would take over three hours in concert for them just to play their hits that went to number 1 ! RIP Jeff Cook

[@GoldenhairYOTL80]

Jeff Cook is also my father's name

[@civilwarmaine]

Like a fine wine... if you close your eyes it sounds like when they first sang this. ❤❤❤

[@pandoraheathcoe1386]

I’m from Alabama and remember when it first came out

[@lmb1962]

Totally agree. Saw those boys many times in my youth. Had a huge girl crush on Randy, probably like every other girl back then 😆 Last time I saw them was in 2016 in Knoxville TN, along with the Charlie Daniels Band. Little did I know that would be the last time I would see Jeff Cook. And now that Charlie is gone, the world is a little dimmer. RIP.

[@marciamartin5559]

Oh yes

[@frankiewhite8491]

I was a young boy at a concert with my parents the very first time they sung this song live. They were the opening act for Hank Jr. I got their autographs. They were the best part of that show.

[@reneeburdick8886]

ABSOLUTELY 💯

[@reneeburdick8886]

I miss their music so much ❤😊

[@RandyOwen-n4n]

Thank so much for your love and support dearest.❤😊

[@Mrskorba]

So glad they put this together for Alabama! They were such a huge part of my childhood!

[@LauraCahill-w2l]

I grew up absolutely loving Alabama. One of my earliest and most cherished memories is of me sitting on my daddy's lap as he whirled me around to Alabama's Mountain Music., and my mom had the biggest crush on Randy Owens lol. My parents passed away in 2016, but I still smile with tears in my eyes as I sing along to the greatest country music band of all time. Thank you so much for all the memories! Love you, Alabama!!!!!

[@RandyOwen-n4n]

Thank you so much for your love and support dearest.❤😊

I miss Jeff Cook. God bless Alabama.

Thank so much for your love and support dearest.❤😊

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

If you were young in the 80's, and you didn't shed a tear to this performance, there is something wrong with you. I've watched this at least 50 times already, and I'm still sitting here with tears running down my face. Tears of joy, and, tears of sorrow. Tears of joy because I was lucky enough to be young and grow up with all those incredible Alabama songs. I played in a band for over 30 years, and played all those Alabama songs back then. Tears of sorrow because those were the best times ever, and they are gone. I miss them so much. But OMG! How beautiful to hear Randy still sound just like he did back then, and the still perfect harmonies of Randy and Teddy 40 years later. It really sucks that Jeff wasn't there. But, let's give credit to that guitar player. It had to be a little intimidating to see that green double neck guitar setting there in the spotlight in front of him, but what an honor it must have been for him. I would say this guy was chosen to play this tribute for a reason. He played it perfectly. Note for note. If you close your eyes and are not looking, you would swear Jeff was there. I'm sure Jeff was looking down and giving a nod of approval to this gentleman just like Randy and Teddy did while they were sitting off to the side while watching and listening and nodding and giving a thumbs up to other artists doing their songs on this night. R.I.P. brother Jeff.😢

[@BradleyBeams]

Alabama boy here I’m proud to be from the south and call Alabama my home

[@BamaDad]

I remember as a kid in High School sneaking into a bar in Ft. Payne to watch a band called "Wild Country". I said one day these guys are going to make Alabama great in country music! Little did I know! That band Became Alabama, and it is wild what it did to country music forever. Thank You for all of the wonderful music. As another poster stated it was bitter sweet seeing Jeff's guitar on stage, I really appreciate them paying that tribute to one of the best guitarists that ever pulled a string. RIP Mr. Cook! Lisa we love you back home in Trussville! Praying for you!

[@mikevoiceoversmith6333]

I’m from Alberta, born and bred, but when I first heard this song 43 years ago, it spoke to me like nothing I’d ever heard before and it continues to. So even though I’m north of the line, this is my anthem, because like Jamey Johnson said, Alabama is in my DNA.

What a flood of memories came rolling in my mind... Thanks Alabama for the wonderful years of your music... God bless

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Randy doesn't move around much anymore, but we got a little jab out of him at about the 3:50 time spot. I'm sure it kills him not to be able to anymore because he was always so energetic. But that's ok. He still sounds like he did and Teddy's harmony with Randy is still spot on. And a really, really nice job on the bass there. You can tell his heart is in it. Tough to see Jeff's guitar without him there playing it, but what a wonderful way to respect and remember him.

[@RandyOwen-n4n]

Thank you so much for your love and support dearest.❤😊

I saw these guys in Paris Texas in 1981. Great show. 2025 anyone?

[@JohnGadzaJr.]

Another awesome performance from Alabama. This song titled "My Home's In Alabama" is one of my favorite songs to listen to. Sadly, it was really a shame that this song was not a number one hit and I can't believe that it did not make it as one of the band's number one hits. However, Randy Owen himself had often said that if it wasn't for this song, they wouldn't be where they were. Unfortunately, this song only peaked at 17 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart way back in 1980. Here is the thing. The truth is that this song should have been a number one hit for Alabama as it is the official anthem for their hometown of Fort Payne, Alabama because the song itself is a biographical look at Alabama's early career as well as hopes and dreams. Not only that but it also pays homage to the roots of band members Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry as well. In the years since its original release, "My Home's In Alabama" became widely considered as the song that sparked the band's rise to eventual superstardom. In my honest opinion, I really think that it is criminal that this song was not a number one hit even though it should have been in the first place. It would be really great if "My Home's In Alabama" can re-enter at number one on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the first time in years because it deserves a number one position. Otherwise, awesome performance and it sounds just like when they first sang this years ago.

[@happyday3338]

Love Alabama…..One of my favorite country groups, I listened to when I was growing up……Still do listen to them…….❤

R.I.P Jeff Cook! So awesome of them to honor Jeff with his guitar sitting under a spot light.
