[@rancantrell]

I am 55 years old and I wore the 8 Track of Blackfoot Strikes out in the early 80's Blackfoot is truly one of the most underrated hard rock bands of all time and Rickey is a living legend.

[@dingushussey4100]

I'm 56, saw Blackfoot when i was 15 at the 2nd Monsters of Rock, i had never heard them before, but the next day I bought Maurauder, then Strikes the week later, Rickey is my idea of a musical soul, real music, unbelievable voice, and f**king killer guitarist, if you can have a groundhog day that would be mine.

[@rancantrell]

@@dingushussey4100 I saw them twice in the early eighties and they kick ass they were much better than I thought they would be

[@earlwright9715]

Buddy, I'm your same age, from the deep south and people just don't understand great music sometimes.

[@1toweringfool]

They were, by far the most exciting of all the southern bands at the time!

[@1927su]

It’s 2023 & I agree!

[@johnbelleville9726]

Blackfoot is the most underrated band in history! IMO!!!

[@keeperofthereign]

Not so... I am greek, I grew up millions miles away from the american south and still have all their LPs back home.

[@MrJohnnyb42]

You are very correct! Very underrated

[@keithbarber8180]

I’m 58 loved these guys in my younger days still play there music on a regular today this was great southern rock

[@heavymetal9330]

Rickey is the most underrated musician of all time.

[@adamrains1460]

True.

[@jmbjls1]

This song never made it to the radio like he said. This song should be one of the best classics played on the radio today. The entire album was top shelf. Rickey is so talented. Always seemed to be one of the good guys.

[@bruceelliott9585]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded

[@jerrythomas4457]

Certainly is

[@RMGCBG]

Possibly most underrated album and band in the Southern Rock era

[@annwarden159]

One of my favorite rockers. Never tire of Medlocke or Blackfoot.

[@blockaid]

Still got a hell of a voice. Love me some Blackfoot!

[@denisehoughton2033]

I’m born and raised in Jacksonville and have listen to these Awesome bands all my life, but Medlocke is by far my favorite. Inspires me still with my own music

[@timothyvandyke-lc1oi]

Oh hell ya.....lm from ft Myers Fla .Blackfoot...molly hatchet those bands should have been put on the rock n roll ha of Fame yrs ago.

[@kevinfedock7478]

In due respect . rappers are in the hall of fame and Blackfoot is not . total B.S.

[@JamesWitt-u6c]

Damn Good Singer!!!!

[@Watchtower1959]

I'm 62 and I still love'em. Awesome Hard Backwoods Rock 🎸

[@timothywilliamson3102]

I’m also 62 (6/18/1962)!! Saw them the first time in 1977 with Nazareth! I’ve been a huge fan ever since!! I remember someone threw a bottle at the drummer and The lead singer for ‘Naz came out and stated emphatically stated that if another bottle was thrown, End Of Show!!

[@MsSmitty9]

I saw Blackfoot in 1979 in The Old Boston Gahden. He had pipes then He Has Pipes now. God Bless Em. 🙏

[@HuckFinn212]

Strikes is a milestone in Southern Rock! The man is still nailing it!

[@kennethmorgan2704]

Love Blackfoot, PERIOD!!

[@meyer412]

Dude can still sing. Always loved his voice.

[@martino5457]

I love Blackfoot. Thank you Rick. 🎸👍✌️😁

[@rubbersole79]

Ricky's a legendary talent. A great performer not to mention song writer. And also was the original drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@keithcoeburn2163]

One of the best bands back in the day.. should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..

[@mattbartley5712]

Pure Southern Rock, if you have to ask, maybe go south sometime and give this genre a listen.....loudly, live, and timeless......

[@tomuchfortwo]

I'm 60, I sing and play every one of your tunes for 40, I love you man. Always wish you well.

[@darrindavis1019]

I love Blackfoot! I think Medlocke has one of the best voices ever!!

[@angeliquelusk5292]

This is my favorite been listening to it all my life and yes he’s diffidently a Legend

[@mad4jack]

God Bless You Mr. Medlocke, you STILL can play & sing as from the days of old. So Great to see the latest boys of Blackfoot keeping it going with the Old & New songs alike.

[@briangerrard420]

I'm only 6 years younger & I too, witnessed the founding members of Skynyrd on stage. Wished I had the opportunity to meet them because 4 months later the plane fell out of the sky. 😥

[@Audiogeek-kf2ez]

This never gets old, I was 20 when this album came out. I saw Blackfoot with the Who in St Paul MN, they rocked

[@bendavidson7122]

Makes me want to listen to STRIKES

[@timothywilliamson3102]

I am right now!!

[@FredPena-rd5cf]

I always thought Blackfoot had enough good songs for an Unplugged type record. And this song would be great unplugged. Great song!

[@williamapolinar1018]

I had the pleasure of seeing the original "BLACKFOOT" band in the 80's. Still love Ricky. Not the same.

[@johncifizzari3107]

Great song! I just found it again recently. A blue speakers out and mom's basement to train and I love this song

[@haroldpruitt8207]

Man what a seasoned badass Rock n Roll Icon !!! Beautiful southern soulful voice ! Damn sure gives me chills !!!

[@lynwilliams3800]

I had the pleasure of meeting MR. Medlocke at a Skynyrd show in Raleigh a couple of years ago. One of the most respected players I know of and a Southern Gentlemen.

[@terrytaylor7465]

One if my top 5 All time favorite bands

[@rosedeluia2085]

Great singer and guitar 🎸 👌 ❤ 👍 😀 player for Blackfoot and Lynard Skynard too!!😍Rickey voice still rocking n rolling!!💕

[@Romulus980]

Medlocke = Blackfoot, a great talent and definitely an original...!

[@rannyhill2439]

In October of 2016, I went to a particularly great Skynyrd show in CT. Before the show, I was talking to Rick and he asked if I was going to this show. I told him I didn't know anything about it! A month later, I was at BB King's with my youngest son who was born in 88. He only knew Rickey as a member of Skynyrd, no matter how much I told him and played the music! I was extremely excited to see and hear Rickey singing and playing the old Blackfoot songs again, but I wasn't sure what to expect. Anyway, Rickey came on about half way through the show, and it was amazing! I was 18 again and he was playing and singing up a storm!!! The surprise of the night was how he played with Tim Rossi, they were great! His highlight, included here, is Rickey singing the beginning of Simple Man and moving seamlessly into Highway Song. Now THAT I'd never seen before! Good Mornin',, Train Train and all the Medlocke stories, it was such an unexpected thrill, and my son absolutely loved it! After the show, Rickey was telling us stories like only he can for about 45 minutes until his ride got there. So much fun and this recording along with another that's kicking around brings it all back. I don't know if I'll ever see him play those amazing songs again, but I didn't expect that one either. It's a great video and if you like Blackfoot, you'll love this! That Rossi version of the band was fantastic!

[@erics4653]

My all time fav Blackfoot tune. Still have all the vinyl.

[@freebirdinfranklin]

I loved his music way back then and I still love it now. I feel fortunate to have seem him back in the late 80's at a local bar called the peppermint beach club, saw a lot of other great shows there also but that one is one I'll never forget. Great guitar work and the vocals go with the style of music perfectly.

[@terrydavis8404]

I’m a Christian god given talent he has great positive song more like country but Blackfoot is southern Indian music its own genre to me

[@patrickkunkle5958]

God blessed Blackfoot for sure. It’s a shame that such an incredible band is so unrecognized. But people like you and me are still here to listen and give thanks to Rickey, the band mates, and Jesus

[@henryclayton7240]

Great stuff! Old Rockers never die.

[@Shagnasty1956]

or FADE away!

[@eel908]

once again music the greatest communicator thank you tod infinity

[@bradleythrine8595]

I'm getting Older tomorrow. Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot was My First Concert! WOW!!!! I Remember Everything about the Fact!

[@graydendough6356]

Rickey Medlocke is an an amazing talent. Saw the original Blackfoot. Saw its many variations and always left satisfied.

[@damnyankeeyankee6812]

Nothing like the original lineup. That band was ahead of its time and it's a crying shame they imploded on themselves because of record company pressure.

[@robburnette9882]

He's awesome saw him many times outstanding guitarist... rock on rick

[@blockaid]

Would've loved to see the original band.

[@timhoovermusicman]

First saw them in '79 when they opened up for Nazareth

[@MarkJohnson-ip2if]

@@timhoovermusicman awesome. I saw them for my one a d only time in 1982, opening for Nugent. Didn't know who they were when I got there, but they've been at the top of my list ever since. Incredible band. I gotta thing the term "underrated" applies like a mofo to those guys.

[@paulrubery1042]

Blackfoot not known by as many as should brilliant albums and even better live Rick medlocke my best all the Rock nRoller what a voice and player KEEP ON ROCKIN 🎸🎸🎸🎸👍

[@jerryhayden8720]

Left Turn on a Red Light has always been and will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. 👍

[@earlwright9715]

You got that right

[@wendellburkhart8297]

Been Rockin Black Foot ever since They came out and I found a video of them back in There first days over in Zurich Switzerland and it's hands down the best I've ever seen that band play that song. I've saw Ricky with Skynyrd twice and my first cousin just sent me 2 pics of him and his wife in Nashville a couple weeks ago and they'd saw Skynyrd and got pics with Ricky Medlock .

[@pyroman6000]

This sounds frickin great! Amazing that Rickey can still sing like that!! Some folks are just the real deal.

[@bretthumphrey6821]

This is one of my favorite songs ever

[@scottbainetwisted_keel_adv5821]

[@juliejulie1545]

Medlocke is some of the best talent out there.

[@donrutter6550]

When he was young and in his prime, nobody could touch him.

[@annlovett2828]

Still got it!! Yeah,I tried that left turn on a red light and got hit by A 18 WHEELER! Seriously, fractured my back and totalled my car!!😜

[@annlovett2828]

Love thiz song!!

[@lobo81865]

Ah, my favorite Blackfoot song. Medlocke hasn't lost a thing.

[@jorgecarrasco8088]

Gracias Blackfoot por tu gran y sorprendente creación musical. Miles y miles de felicitaciones!! Son sorprendentes.

[@dragonsfire6664]

This is pure GOLD!!!!

[@davidlambert3892]

I remember seeing Blackfoot back in the mid-1970s at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Ruby Starr was singing for them at that time. A local band from Mason City, Iowa named Corn Fed opened for them. They had a good reputation in the local area. I had heard of Corn Fed but had never heard them until this concert. They weren't too bad. Then when Blackfoot came on stage and hit the first note they just blew Corn Fed off the stage. I remember that very well. Holy crap!

[@terrysmith1957]

Ruby Starr sang with Black Oak Arkansas back in the 1970s. I am not saying she didn’t played with Blackfoot.

[@rrf85]

Aside from the guitar playing, I love his voice. I first saw him on the Lyve from Steel Town VHS, and his playing and singin got me hooked, and I didn't know shit about Sknyrd's story or Blackfoot. I love that VHS to this day.

[@tomsanders9491]

RICKEY MEDLOCKE OUT ROCKS THE YOUNG GUYS. ALWAYS LOVED BLACKFOOT. GLAD RICKEY REVIVED IT

[@jimmytheweed4978]

Rickey Medlocke is a stud. So not only have I seen him sing and play guitar for two of southern rock's best in Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot, never got to see him play drums for LS back in the early days, but have also seen him lead another legendary southern rock band Molly Hatchet. Was going to see Blackfoot open for Molly Hatchet in Kansas City, believe it was 1983 or 84. However 3 or 4 of MH's band left town...! So member's of Blackfoot and MH opened with a set of MH tunes then Blackfoot headlined. I can remember my younger sister saying "that lead singer (RM) needs to loosen up". I just chuckled and said "just wait"! Wasn't my first time seeing them.🙂

[@timlester4892]

Absolutely Ricky 👍 my favorite from the album to it sounds so kick ass cranked up on a good stereo

[@johna.1949]

Saw Blackfoot all through the 80s and I was at this show!!

[@barrysoetoro1543]

His shows are outstanding.....

[@mikemadden2729]

Good to see guys like Rick, Robin Trower & John McLaughlin still doin' it so well!

[@NorthernBandit1]

One of my Hero's of Rock!

[@cat.is.the.bestie]

I saw them in Johnson City Tenn at freedom hall in 1980 I think.great great show I'll never forget it

[@KenSmith-ue2ln]

Got to love em!

[@dr.know-it-all5148]

Rick's Les Paul is worth more than everything on that stage!

[@randycooke6209]

Ricky Medlocke is legend. Mark Farner as well

[@kittycat1302]

@->Randy Cooke.. I had the pleasure of seeing Mark Farner last July 4th in Palmetto, FL. It was a free outdoor concert in the park put on by the city of Palmetto. For a small town, they put on some great July 4th shows, (Three Dog Night, OakRidge Boys), and FANTASTIC firework display. Mark’s band, American Band, (makes sense, right?) sounded great! And at nearly 72, I could not believe his fitness and stamina! I got a few pictures, some video and sound. If I can ever find time, I’ll try to put together something and post it. It won’t be great because I’m a total new-🐝 making KZbin videos!

[@jurgenbrueggmann6259]

I think Lynyrd Skynyrd should put a couple put a couple Blackfoot songs and her concert hell we got the man right there

[@benroosa2328]

Always been my favorite too ricky!

[@erockscott1184]

Fantastic!!!!

[@screen4metube]

I want to recognize Allen Langston, Dean Havlik, Jim Wright, Mike Martin, Dixie Duncan and so many more for all of their hard work and dedication to Rock n Roll, the most talented guitar players that entertained the Atlanta circuit over the years.

[@vicster6243]

Great recording, tight playing & Medlocke still sings very well - thumbs up!

[@njmariner22]

Crazy...grew up listening to them. Sounds just as good as back in the 70's.

[@jb2866]

My very first concert at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena. 1979 - The original Blackfoot warmed up Marshall Tucker Band. I was 16 and was absolutely blown away !!

[@timhoovermusicman]

I saw them open up for Nazareth in '79

[@njdevs1963]

Very cool video. Thanks for sharing. I lived in Jersey most of my life, and got to see Blackfoot quite a few times. Rickey is a great frontman. Enjoy him in Skynyrd, but really miss him fronting his own band. Rickey, Jak, Charlie, and Greg are all really nice guys. Would love to see the the remaining guys ONE more time!

[@ARTll-zy1cp]

They were at Stone Pony on the Jersey Shore....circa 1988... Seen them here a lot and met them in 83... Great guys...

Did you know jakson passed 😥💘🎉🎉I saw it on a live video ❤❤
