And this just set me into a zone I didn't want to go out of.

This song was to the Outlaws what Whipping Post was to the Allman Brothers Band, what Freebird was to Lynyrd Skynyrd, or what Highway Song was to Blackfoot. It's that last song of the night, show ending 15 to 20 minute plus powerful guitar opus that all of the great southern bands had in their arsenal that whipped the crowd into an absolute frenzy before being sent out the door. I would add that what the afore mentioned songs very much had in common was that no matter how great the studio versions sounded on their albums, you could truly never appreciate just how great those songs were until you saw or heard those bands performing the song live with those endless, forever solos as added extensions, and the song jammed onstage for twice as long live as it was ever performed in the studio during the recording of that album.

I'm 81. A Southern man. I grew up in the 50's listening to WLAC, Nashville, Tennessee and Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, BB King and all the Bluesmasters. The Blues, born out of poverty and loneliness is THE foundation for rock n roll and all the other incredible stuff that we love so much today. Little Richard. Elvis. Fats Domino. Chuck Berry.The Platters. The Supremes. Michael Jackson. The Shirelles. Of course, black gospel music was delightfully included. And so much more. It was a wonderful time to be alive. ❤️

Alright, Alright, ALL RIGHT ! I've heard enough about it being perfect, & never missing a note. I have, over the course of 2 weeks (actually15 days) have METICOUSLY transcribed the entire 24 odd minute Magnum Opus...(actually I QUIT AT MEASURE 876....the drums I'm slow as hell on, and it became a bit excessive halfway through, ...8 hrs a day ,10 the first 2 days....when the other drummer came in I began getting old...) -of course I included repeat measures for many of the versres and choruses,- I maybe crazy but ain't no schmoo- but did indeed catch a semi-ghosted note at the 20 minute mark, but skip that it might be incorrect. During the drum solo, after the other drummer was going along to accompany the other one ... there is flim-flam that didn't flu....Just forget it... That dang course I took in transcribing...a freakin 36 weeks of Zappa multple measures of 17/8 ,5/4, and 9/8 reggae, Steve Vai in depth, musical nightmare..he did say no one had stayed with it as long as I had. Yeah freakin bullshit cuz thats cartoon music that Sylvester and Wil E. Coyote ...just nevermind. Beep Beep. Road trippin', Vicksburg to Jackson.

44 years? Aren't you tired by now dude? Take a rest for heaven's sake! Guinness book of world records for Christ's sake!

In 2007 we went out to the beach in Long Island NY to see Dickey Betts. Imagine the thrill when I found out the Outlaws were the opening act! As it happened I was with some young people who barely knew what "Southern Rock" was. I said, "Oh, wait for 'Green Grass'". It's nonsense what they say about short attention spans- you just have to engage mind, body and soul with all your heart...The acoustics were great and the crowd was on their feet screaming. Of course the joy of the song is that the electric guitars go on forever and ever in a series of tidal waves. Hughie did not disappoint. There was no hiding the fact of middle age in physical appearance. But that 55 year old man blew the roof off. I was stunned by the sheer energy and concentration on display. So although the news was very sad, it came as no surprise that he was dead of a heart attack a month later. He's not resting in peace. He's killing it on a stage somewhere.

[@jamesparks2242]

I guess my "systems administrator " has shut down my ability to comment. Well, fuck him too. I remember the first time I walked into my local biker bar with an Outlaws t-shirt on and someone asked who the fuck is that? Same thing happened when I walked in with a Tom Petty shirt on. Unfortunately some people are born idiots and they don't get any better. It's genetic.

The Outlaws was a House Band at the Pillow Talk Lounge in Cocoa Beach's Satellite Motel in 1972. I cut that wild hair of Huey's, as I was in Beauty School that Fall & Winter & used fake IDs to get in to the bars. They knew me as Connie (Driver) then. I was living in Berkeley in 1976, & heard them come across KSFO Radio one day that July ... It was soooo thrilling!!!

This is arguably the greatest rock song of all time, and I'm upset it took over 40 years to get this on the modern channels to show the youths what music really is. 7.24.22 just realized billy jones is playing a frampton les which I think is pretty cool :)

I’ve lived in 7 states and probably 30 or so cities and towns. I used to hang out in a lot of bars. I would always play Southern rock on the jukebox and just watch the people come up to see who these bands were that I played. It would just blow people away.

I'm afraid that whenever I read that line - "THOSE were the best times of my life" it kinda spooks me.

There are people even in their TWENTIES who have kinda bagged it, and spend the next... 50 years reminiscing about HIGH SCHOOL Yikes! Just say whoa.....

[@mikebaird8648]

I hail from the once great state of Virginia. Saw my first concert in 1970... B.B. King / Duane Allman and the Brother's. Have seen Skynyrd, Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, Alman Brother's, on and on, etc. Some of us took advantage of so many concerts, so much music and so cheap. We lived on the golden era of the greatest music ever. Thank God I did. 40-50 years fast forward and I'm still doing it just paying through through the noise as they say. Don't know about y'all but I still play my vinyl album's. Some people spend their money on goods, I spend mine on Music! Keeps the sanity...

Were the Outlaws not played on main stream radio like Skynard and the Allmans? This is one of the greatest guitar performances I have ever heard. I'm sure there are 1000s like me who have never heard of the Outlaws and that's more than a crying shame. An injustice to these fabulous musicians. I didn't hear one mistake either.
