First Time Hearing | Outlaws | Green Grass And High Tides - 11/10/1978 - REACTION VIDEO

[@Irse2000]

When people ask why I don't care for much new music.....it's cause this was what I was raised on

[@waynecribb4922]

Kinda makes modern music worthless !!

[@jbs454]

Amen!!!!

[@stuartdamon3610]

Perfect sentiment.

[@randallcox6573]

My brother and I smoked 3 doobies and he picked up his guitars and we began jamming. Mom went to the grocery store and came back. She said we had been messing around for over an hour and to get the groceries in. We thought maybe 15 minutes of playing. My brother died in Nam 6 months later, I miss him everyday and have for 50 years. RIP David.

[@chetpietras8402]

I'm 65, and this song was and STILL IS considered one of, if not THE BEST "ANTHEMS" of Southern Rock!!( Along with Free Bird of course) Thank you for bringing this true CLASSIC to life once again, by a band that has it's roots here in my area, Tampa Fl.

[@FloridaWildlife]

I agree, I am 62, from the Ocala Forest sitting on my deck watching this :) Enjoy your weekend!

[@billhipple6076]

Hughie Thomasson (Lead Guitar ~ Strat) (RIP), Billy Jones (Lead Guitar ~ Les Paul) (RIP), Freddie Salem (Rhythm Guitar), Harvey Dalton Arnold (Bass), David Dix (Drums), Monte Yoho (Drums)

[@scottcolman9757]

One of the best southern rock songs ever performed. Was basically a anthem when I was a teen.😎👍🏻

[@sandrapullins8644]

a lot of people today don't have the attention span to listen to long jams, i still love them

[@richardschultz7650]

Huey wrote this song thinking of all the legends who died Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix etc. He visioned them playing for everyone in heaven

[@freebirdtony]

When you get the opportunity, I highly suggest that you take in the studio version of this song. It's unarguably a masterpiece.

[@chrisnewton5126]

Weren't nicknamed the "Florida Guitar Army" for nuthin'! :)

[@LemmyGibbler]

Do yourself a divorce and check out the studio version one day. This song is a masterpiece. One of the most underrated southern rock bands by a lot.

[@craiglee8574]

Preach

[@ad9aggie]

The Florida Guitar Army! Thank you!

[@joemcbride5260]

They were called the Florida guitar army And if the opened fire Skynyrd they would come out and play with them during th set e set they all knew each other well

[@williamaustin1084]

Saw the Outlaws open for Molly Hatchet in Germany in 83. BOTH bands came out and did this awesome song as the encore! Amazing!

[@esabsablick5492]

Saw OUTLAWS, MASHALL TUCKER, CHARLIE DANIELES in NYC, pier 84 next to the INTREPID. It was a great place for live shows

[@jbs454]

Can’t beat Molly Hatchet either!!!!

[@garylamb7688]

The guy with the headband is my picker hero Hughie Tomason try there goes another love song Hughie was a true master of the strocaster

[@jvsmith7888]

You just have to love Billy Jones (guy in the red shirt). He was incredible, also a good singer and songwriter. We miss you Billy.

[@ramondwilliam1307]

The southern rock anthem! What a great song!!!

[@richardschultz7650]

As kings and Queens bow and play for you.

[@waynecribb4922]

I love his comment "just give me Jack Daniel's I could listen to this all night long." He gets it !!!

[@chrissiegle1065]

Dueling lead guitars... awesome

[@frankiemanning1743]

Check out their version of Ghost Riders in the Sky

[@craiglee8574]

Damn straight up 718

[@craiglee8574]

Drummer said we ain't done YET😎😎😂😂

[@brewswillis9783]

I'll take this jamming over Greatfull Dead, Phish etc all day any day! You're all over it D-Syde!

[@rickwallace8747]

I saw them in Lexington KY at Rupp Arena in 78,or 79 Then I was working at a club and they played there. Went upstairs to the band room and partyed a little. Some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I wish this style of music would come back love the band and and another great song to react to. Great Reaction as always Stay Safe 😀 Oh yeah the drummer is phenomenal also.

[@djclabbe88]

Southern Rock is great 😎 Listen to blackberry smoke, they have the style 👍

[@kenwelch198]

Had a similar experience when I met them. Great bunch of guys.

[@jbs454]

@@djclabbe88 I don’t understand why more people don’t love them

[@rubbersole79]

Hughie Thomasson actually spent a few years touring with Skynyrd too. RIP Sir.

[@billybreathes6236]

This music will never be done again. The tone they had...soul bending melodies that were songs within the song. When I first heard this as a teenager in the early 80s this guitar work brought a tear to my eyes. Underrated...under promoted and one of the greatest songs in recorded history.

[@jhall2224]

Outlaws the four guitar army!

[@kevinkelly620]

southern rock is the best...deep in the soul and heart of life...thank you...

[@mikejett77]

I bet 3 minutes after the song the drummers arms fell off lol. That was great!

[@chrissiler6075]

I was 12 in 76, 4th of July concert! Doobies & Outlaws, This was the oncore and it took 35 mins and the Doobies brought out the Outlaws and both bands destroyed that song. I was changed forever LOL

[@richardedwin5980]

You just witnessed 2 of the greatest guitarists to ever pick up a guitar, Hughie Thomason and Billy Jones. Sadly enough Billy committed suicide in 1995 and Hughie died of a heart attack in 2007. Hughie later went on to join Lynyrd Skynyrd for a number of years. The Outlaws were from Tampa and known as the Florida Guitar Army.

[@davestephen7647]

My first real concert, ended up seeing them 7 times over the years! I love seeing first time reactions for a lot of these classics, it takes me back and reminds me of things I took for granted so long ago, having grown up listening to them

[@Eric2112rush]

When I picked up the guitar, at 12 yrs old around 1980, THIS and RUSH were what I cut my chops on! Alex Lifeson of RUSH and the dual guitar onslaught of Hughie Thompson and Freddie Salem here, were the best teachers a young axe slinging kid could have asked for! Sonic GOLD!

[@thomastodd8521]

Im a Tampa kid of 50 now and I have been listening to this as long as I can remember.THANK YOU!

[@daventunes3822]

THANK YOU! This is 70s southern rock... 3 masterclass guitars and a cloud of dust. Takes 2 drum sets to keep up with them.

[@terryvance3805]

Dangerous to drive while listening to this. Lol I grew up on this music.

[@jvsmith7888]

I would have loved to see this band live back in their heyday in the 70's, incredible!

[@1313jerry1313]

RIP Hughie and Billy.

[@sammack1564]

Strap in. So glad you picked this live version.

[@mcoke61]

Thanks for transporting me back to high school in the late '70s! What a good time enjoying the "Florida Guitar Army"! I got to see these gents in and around the D.C. area back then on numerous occasions. Warner Theater was a very memorable gig. To see them do the encore of Green Grass and High Tides was just epic. Every time! Thank you!

[@samsmith4216]

Welcome to the original "Guitar army". Brilliant musicianship! If you want to learn how to build a guitar solo with dynamics this is the video. Great analysis! You're a very. insightful listener!

[@craiglee8574]

Where you been Mike??? Outlaws groove..👌👌👏😎😎

[@fleegerbriggs5694]

The Outlaws were so damn good!! Underappreciated as time passed.

[@kenwelch198]

These guys came out of Tampa, Florida just a few minutes from where I live. Had the pleasure of meeting them in the early 70s. Great bunch of guys who really enjoyed playing together.

[@bobhenry9662]

May 11 1976. Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Mo. I saw them open for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@snuffymanson]

This was their Freebird .

[@richardwhite6888]

Saw their all of their New Years eve concerts with Molly Hatchet in Lakeland FL. Best concerts ever! You haven`t lived till you saw all 8(!) Outlaws and Molly Hatchet guitars on stage jamming together at midnite. It was even more epic than this live video you just reacted to. Keep em coming, these two bands made me a southern rocker for life!

[@raleighthomas3079]

Well, you just heard Floridas Guitar Army at its finest. Local Tampa legends, eclipsed only by Lynyrd Skynyrd as Florida music hero’s. The lead Strat master Hughie Thomasson, who later played with Skynyrd, Billy Jones with the black Les Paul, and Henry Paul on rhythm Strat, who still fronts the band to this day, playing the song that will be played at my funeral. Yeah they mean that much to me. I grew up listening to them locally in my teens, at practice and in dive bars before they hit it big. Still see them every year. You have now seen the best Southern rock and roll ever played. Welcome to the chosen. Love your vids too BTW.

[@craiglee8574]

My MAN....YOU KILLING IT

[@guystephens2881]

Saw them with molly hatchet, jammed this song so long I went bathroom twice. Was enjoying some adult beverages that night.

[@wadebarton4111]

Their version of Ghost Riders In The Sky is also awesome.

[@tonigraffa6338]

This song was written about Tampa, FL

[@michaelmize1155]

It's like a "Duel" a friendly duel.

[@martyadams4132]

these guys still come & play at a little theatre I helped to restore in a little town in Pa. called Irwin The Lamp theatre. ,and they still kick that ASS!

[@craiglee8574]

27:20. ALL Aboard now..love it...You are on rails headed home to southland Mike..😎🙂

[@richardmodglin3900]

I saw them live at Anaheim Stadium in 1978..... this song was over 25 minutes long. Great reaction!

[@cathyscaggs2357]

Saw The Outlaws perform @ Alpine Valley Outdoor Arena sitting on the lawn to hear this 🎵🎶 song!!! That was in 78..

[@dougnelsin1480]

I see these guys every chance i get to live in concert. Great sound.

[@JimDorman]

Me too! Different guys, but they still got that spirit and talent.

[@jbs454]

I’ve never seen a live version of this holy crap I’m blown away, great reaction!!!! You are quickly becoming my favorite channel

[@prometheus7615]

Thank you for sharing this incredible song and group.

[@ronnie5129]

Drama, you are diggin some good music here, man, thanks for the video and your comments, I knew Hughie Thomasson, he was a very kind human being, He would give the shirt off of his back, and then some, R.I.P. HUGHIE, The guy who is playing the Black les paul guitar, Billy, unfortunatly shot him self in the head due to Depression , R.I.P. Billy, in todays world due to the virus, people are doing this, more than before, The world need more professional people do deal with Depression, Peace to all, Cousin Figel

[@joemcbride5260]

The Henry Paul Band he was in this band went out on his own have yo listen to Grey Ghost live is almost like that and it’s about Ronnie Van Zant the lead singer of Skynyrd

[@robertheckman8013]

I saw these guys in a small club in Pipersville, PA. called "The Hearth" around 1993+/-. Their opening act was New Riders of the Purple Sage. This is flooding my head with positive memories! Thank You!

[@Popson2wheels]

There Goes Another Love Song, Ghost Riders in the Sky and Hurry Sundown are 3 they rock out on.

[@Eric2112rush]

Saw The Outlaws at The Holiday Star Plaza Arena in Merrillville Indiana with a very young, and new, Stevie Ray Vaughn as the opening act in the second row! Holy shit what a concert! I believe The Outlaws were touring in support of their "Soldiers Of Fortune" album.

[@Trucker231610]

This is an epic performance and I would choose this over any version. But you need to listen to the studio version to hear the real quality of this epic guitar performances.

[@joemcbride5260]

Southern Rock Bands had some ThEE BEST GUITARIST in my opinion

[@designstudio8013]

The guitar player in red was a musical genius also had a degree in mathematics

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

What Up DS, The Guitar Army!

[@shirleymongold9491]

Boy am I ever dumb, I always thought Marshall Tucker did this song. You learn something new every day

[@monatodd3501]

I confuse these 2 bands all the time; they’re quite similar. 💖

[@garykelly7422]

Excellent reaction to another classic jam☮️

[@johnbolin3325]

Drama you are going to LOVE the good live version it's off the double live album Bring It Back Alive . No video but now you've seen it now it's time to hear it . That live version can't be touched it is so much better I don't even care if you react to it you just have to hear it for your own benefit . I saw how much you liked this one so I'm kinda afraid the version from Bring It Back Alive might might give you a stroke or terminal stank face or a heart attack or hemorrhoids or something but I believe it's worth the risk ! The studio version off the debut album is excellent as well ! P . S . You gotta hear You Are The Show it's a bit of a tribute to the fans and hell yes it jams 😁✌️ ROCK ON Little Wing

[@geoffsullivan7902]

How’d I miss this? Damn- this one is one of my favorite songs! 🎼🎶❤️🤘😎Let’s go! Ok! I know what’s coming.....turn it up ! Road trip playlist for sure back in the day......the studio version is worth a listen imo. That reminds me- Blackfoot- Train Train- not sure if you’ve done that one but buckle up if you haven’t.....that one screams down Southern Rock highway, love that one! 🎼🎶🎸🔥🤘😎

[@craiglee8574]

I need a ride.....I got gas money....

[@craiglee8574]

Perfection

[@joemcbride5260]

Me and my friends did an endless Keg and kept the tap open to the whole 22 minutes there were 6 of us I’ll tell you we had a riot and we got real drunk in that 22 minutes it was fun the tap never got turned off till the end

[@richardcranium5048]

That's sickening man, I've been playing for about 30 yrs, but that's the guitar player I wanna be when I grow up

[@bethkelley575]

Got to see them live--awesome

[@cathyscaggs2357]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!!

[@StevenEverett7]

Thank you for listening to this classic! The Outlaws did a kick ass rock version of a classic country piece that has been done by I don't know how many major artists. That song is, of course, Ghost Rider in the Sky. I do hope that you'll react to that song also. Stay safe. Cheers, Steve

[@denniskawa4412]

I like how you have the video on a big screen, I never seen this video but know the song and seen them live 2 years ago, they have a lot of great music

[@thomaswest7746]

This an plenty of other, rock pop, progressive, blues, soul, all with masterful musicianship in the 60s, 70s 80s

[@drew65sep]

You got me on this one...don't remember seeing this particular version of this song...diggin on it tho.

[@gabrielbusu45]

Amazing, love it! Thank you!

[@maryroberts9233]

Had the pleasure to see them three times. Florida's guitar army, straight out of Tampa.

[@shanefrancis368]

Southern Rock... or Southern Hippie Rock...lol

[@Ritaholden1]

This makes me want to build a huge fire , gather my friends around and enjoy 😍

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Love your work.

[@shawnj1966]

Molly Hatchet has a song called Gator Country and they mention A lot of bands including this one.

[@craiglee8574]

Done deal

[@hoosiermaker2358]

Check out the studio version. It's tight..

[@robertsilvis815]

The Outlaws came out with their debut album in 1975. This song was on it, and getting radio play. I was 17, and LOVED it! Went to my first concert in September of that year. The Outlaws were opening for the Doobie Brothers. The Doobie Brothers big hit that year was "Black Water". I liked the Doobie Brothers, but went more for the Outlaws. GREAT show. I was hooked on concerts from that night on.

[@steveaustin7306]

First time i heard that song my cousin was playing it as we were going down Sunset blvrd in 78. I was hanging out the side door of his chevy van blowing chunks inspired by Mickeys Big Mouth beer and hash. I was 15. good times in LA

[@fukawininetynine5999]

Your face said it all 😁! Sonic wall. I saw them a few times in the 70s. Unbelievable.

[@garycoker1990]

i saw this tour in memphis great concert.ufo opened for them and they kicked ass also.

[@davidcalvert2710]

You might like these other songs by the Outlaws, "There goes another love song " ,and "Hurry Sundown ". Enjoy your reactions. Rock on!.

[@wendellburkhart8297]

The Guitar Army... one of the greatest bands that ever lived. I saw Huey with Skynrd in 96 in river bend Cincinnati. They rocked the whole city !

[@craiglee8574]

Had to come back for JUST nasty..👏👏👏😍

[@suellenpittman8358]

Long Live "Southern Rock"

[@judywalker8020]

Guitar army...The studio version will change your life,too.

[@craiglee8574]

TRAVEL THE STARS W/THIS ONE😎😎

[@NyMyers64]

Awesome and live version too?! Great version of this epic classic.

[@williamosborne6866]

I generally like live versions of epic songs, but the studio cut is superior in clarity and composition....give it a shot - you will NOT be disappointed.
