Roadmaster LIVE: A Benefit Concert - One Last Show for Rick Benick

[@briangallagher7606]

Love roadmaster, lived in Indianapolis for 60 years, now down here in Houston. I still listen to them, and turned way up.

[@ukiahsguitarsolos3436]

Me too! They're great!

Ricky and I grew up together ❤️ 😢 ✨️ 😪 💕 we learned to play guitar 🎸 when we were baby's, circa 1950's when we were just 5 years old ♥️ 🎶 💔 😢

[@joehoward5103]

I was there

[@grooveman222]

I produced Mac McNally back around 1983 as I recall in L.A. in a band called "Heartbreak Kid" that included the ex Exile drummer Bobby Johns. Loved Mac's voice.

These guys are simply a jewel that the national rock audience will never know. Wrote all their own songs and had unparalleled talent. I bought all their albums back in the day and still love the sound of their music !

Oui groupe génial avec un son magique . A fan from France

[@ukiahsguitarsolos3436]

Going to Indiana University in the late 70s was magical! What a fantastic era. Roadmaster was a big part of that. Their first album was truly unreal, one of the best albums ever made! Rick Benick was a big influence to me as a guitar player. My favorite track off that incredible album was Sunala Jones!

[@BarnabyBarry]

Sunala Jones beyond classic

[@ukiahsguitarsolos3436]

@@BarnabyBarry Yep. Love that one!

[@augierockstar]

I'm heart broken, was so sad when mac passed, and was trying to find Rick the last couple years we were friends in the 80s and I just cam across this, put tears in my eyes learning Rick has past😪 I hope Michael and Tiny are doing well, Roadmaster will always live in my heart

[@housecut]

Thank you for this but it's a real shame that Henry Lee Summer Set was not included in this

[@mro2112]

Roadmaster and I go back to the White House in Niles, MI and the Pure Funk band. Peru, Kokomo, Wabash, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Muncie, and even Somerset IN, go way back with Rick and 'the Boys'. I was just a fan over the years, who came to know many in the band. Rest easy, Ricky. you did a good thing.

[@jeffslyn6999]

A fabulous band from the 1970s-80s. Loved them during my days at Indiana University and thereafter. Who can sing like Fat Boy do? The MIGHTY Adam Smasher! Thanks so much for doing this and putting it on KZbin. GREAT memories.

[@BarnabyBarry]

He was the big man!

[@Solescape1]

Steve Riley, Toby Myers and Ricky have all 3 passed away since this show. Sad, Bil Kovacs

[@gnomepark]

RIP Toby

What a fitting tribute to the great Roadmaster and Rick Benick! \m/

[@johneli123456789]

Still loving it...

[@TomStrahle]

So good. Miss you Ricky!

[@nxindy]

Absolutely Perfect! I'll watch this 1000 times. Love to all the guys and thanks to whomever for this great tribute for all time.

[@nxindy]

And if WFYI doesn't present this as a feature, they just don't have a clue about Indiana Music!!!

[@lcpmepbri]

Rev Roger Holloway was there 1st drummer I believe , they met at Short High School, Roger went on to DJ at WTLC, then off to Church.

[@scottb.6682]

Nice job on the video work Jacob ! Miss ya Ricky, see you over the rainbow !!

[@kimmassey3808]

Thanks so much for posting this. For a lot of us growing up in Bloomington IN these guys were IT. Such a nice thing to do for Rick. Not just the benefit but for him to get the chance to wail with his old band friends one more time..

[@thomasewing5283]

Love this

[@ezestudiosvegas]

Thanks Guys.

[@Kalprog]

Thank you for posting this, my days at IU will forever be associated with these guys. God bless you Rick and Steven and thanks to the guys for this benefit show. I will never forget this band and will be a proud Hoosier for life.

[@caroltitus1303]

So very nicely done!

[@johneli123456789]

No (say you wanna be with me,) my favorite. Greatful for what they did though ..

[@jfrockon]

I was fine thru the whole thing till the solo on "Doesn't Mean a Thing"... Broke my heart'

[@jfrockon]

p.s. Ricky was a huge inspiration when I was a kid (and a budding guitarist) to go play music... To this day, I still do. Thanks for making this possible.
