Spaceship Orion - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

[@lowden7268]

Everyone in the world should hear this song at least once in their lifetime.

[@oliveoil4380]

Larry Lee is selling himself short if he doesn’t recognize his phenomenal talent and infectious appeal! I adore him and his prior band, Ozark Mountain Daredevils. I’m a semi-country girl. Born in Alton, Il moved to St. Louis Mo suburbs at age 13. I’m a smart, successful country girl. I love Larry Lee!

[@jaimefinch99]

My dad and I loved this song when he was alive. I still listen to it occasionally.

[@m777howitzer4]

I'm far from the Ozarks, but OMD makes me wanna go there. Colorado song💚

[@kennethmcintyre6942]

Pure magic, I wish I could have been at this show. They sound fantastic, thank you for posting it.

[@oliveoil4380]

I grew up bullied and alone. I bought this album when I was about 13-1976. I can’t believe how much time has passed. I’m an attorney and by outward appearances “successful”, but inside still that lost, sad Jackie blue looking for my spaceship Orion. (Sp)

[@mstman69]

My very favorite song my OMD. Larry is great. We were at the Wildwood that night. Best place and concert ever. Took me back to younger years and float trips in southcentral Missouri. Thanks

[@razsbags]

Love this song.

[@duffman461]

Larry Lee's voice gives me goose bumps. This song means so much to me.Always reminds me of my Linda. Wore the grooves right off this track when it was first released. Also love Within Without, From Time to Time, Road to Glory, Colorado and more but this one from LL was THE 1 for me. Never got to see them live. Bummer.

[@djudstra]

Awesome!!!! Thank yiu.

[@mikebottiaux5850]

One of the great songs by one of the great bands of our time. Thanks, OMD

[@maturetxcpl]

This is so awesome after all these years! Larry Lee is one of the most insightful writers of songs as well as a team player throughout the years! Caught him with Jimmy Buffett years ago! I hope he is well and would love to meet him and hear him, as I never was able to catch the OZM, but hope it's not too late. I think he had a nice momma, too! Wife has a niece moving to Springfield and hope to do some serious visiting and listening!..Thanks Larry and OMD's!!!!!

[@gwhittington1]

ANYTHING that has Ozark Mountain Daredevils attached to it....I'm buying. Just in the hope there will be a new song....new attitude....I Love these guys....my soul music.....

[@stripblazer]

Finally got to see this GREAT band in 1986. Have loved these guys and their music since 1973!! Wonderful songs that bring back so many good memories. Thanks for posting!!!

[@bullyboy999]

takes me way back and I still love this song after all these years. Interesting to note that my teenage sons and their friends love the music from the old man's generation songs like this. That's pretty cool!

[@JamesJones-zt2yx]

Back in my undergraduate days at the University of Oklahoma, I'd get my chili cheeseburger at the restaurant, get a seat, and put this song on the jukebox. it's every bit as magnificent now as it was then, and I still love it. Thank you for putting this up, and above all, thanks to OMD.

[@sharonallison9922]

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF MEETING THEM MANY YEARS BACK....THEY ARE ALL SWEET GENTLEMEN.......THEY STILL SOUND AMAZING...😇😇✨🌟✨💫💫💫🌏🌏🌏

[@Itsjustme-j4o]

Just seen them live here in Edwardsville, il at the Wildey Theater in December 27th 2019, they were awesome one item on my bucket list is checked off. Brought back many beautiful memories and a few tears of joy.

[@tubellarbells]

Tremendous song by the tremendous OMD. YOU KNOW LIKE I KNOW IS, to, probably one of the TOP 10 ballads of the 70's. No doubt about it.

[@75397]

These guys were so damned good & never had the recognition they truly deserved, truly one of the greatest bands in music! I met Steve Cash, John Dillion & Mike Granda, when they played in the U.P. of Michigan in “93” at a casino. I was nearly in tears because there weren't more than 20 people at that concert.

[@ladystorm61]

This song still touches a part of my soul like no other....

[@luvdominus]

What a treat to hear this song again. Mr. Powell is another song that Larry sings that is terrific.

[@debbiemock7290]

An amazing band, this song touches my soul..I am at the end of an almost year long relationship..this was one of the songs that brought us together...he is off chasing a 20 year old at work, one he can never have. I was his, and his only. He will wake up one day and realize that his Debs is gone. Maybe another will come along that loves this song as much as I do.

[@blackywhitey7209]

Seriously! This man sounds pretty much the same as he did in the 70's AH-MAZING... what's strange is I can't find any footage of him singing this song from 1973. A lot of album downloads, but no footage. I love this song!!!!

[@newsiemen4u]

sounds just like he did 30 years ago!!!!!!!! I love these guys!!!! thanks for posting ! we love you here on the darkside too!!!

[@AlternativeDesign100]

superb. Suuperb. Memories of days gone by... the best years of my life. They were part of it. Thanks guys...

[@Rimshot247]

Wow!..the audience reaction is outstanding! Great crowd..I think Larry was holding back some tears.

[@pkressish]

Love this song. So glad to be reintroduced to it. I keep playing it over and over. Such a beautiful song. I can't wait to see this group again. Love the OMD!

[@oliveoil4380]

I cry.

[@robertchampy3489]

This is literally as good as gold...they just don't know it till it's over..

[@bohogal1]

[@BantamTJ]

@Kbear56 Same for me,... High School days in Cabool. Another of my favorites is "Watermill", just something special about the lyrics with the two songs from the many that I'll always like. Thanks so much for the great songs & memories OMD you guys truly have a unique sound!!!

[@josephkulkpc9878]

Larry Lee is great.I'm not surprised why the music of you's a legend.

[@sinaticos.rockers9444]

Una joya

[@amyenke3386]

my all time fav song!!

[@oliveoil4380]

I think Larry Lee and Timothy B. Schmidt should collaborate! Those two voices!

[@RapIsDeadly]

I still love this song.

[@oliveoil4380]

Larry Lee is the reason I survived. I’d like to pay it back if desired.

[@richardd2063]

thanks, feel a total fool, found out from their web site, spent the day feeling sad for the band and then found out he was still alive, glad he didnt read but thanks for correcting and sorry for above

[@janisrobey9491]

Just happened about a yr ago. ..hard to get over the hurt.

[@maturetxcpl]

[@reotwo1]

@iceaxe56 Yes it is...Larry Lee Still has a GREAT voice!!!

[@Kbear56]

My highschool days in Houston....

[@jeffrp73]

F'in A!

[@rgeorge9260]

Did Larry's voice not still sound amazing, even in 2007?

[@richardd2063]

Larry Lee was buried at 11 a.m. on November 6 in West Tennessee Veterans Cemetery. He left wife Carrie Lee, daughter April D. Lee and three sons - Lawrence H. Lee III, Robert A. Lee, and Thomas Lee. He was also survived by his mother, Lula Lee, and five grandchildren.

[@DavisColby]

Not the same Larry Lee.

[@iceaxe56]

is this 1 of the originals--trying to think who he is

[@adeart7]

is this country music? how would you classify it? sounds like r and b.

[@robdavinroy1761]

So sad that people are still talking in the background as Larry sings the greatest song the Daredevils ever recorded.

[@shanebruce1]

The Orion spacecraft will replace the shuttle series. It is quite likely that the Spaceship Orion will take the first Humans to colonize off world. This song may likely be prophetic....this program began in 2004 by George W. Bush, with a tentative manned mission to Mars scheduld for 2031.
