The Outlaws above the rocks of the Lorelei in Germany! In the summer of 1981, for the first time in Germany, what a statement about Southern Rock! 60 minutes full of unbridled joy of playing, bursting with power and endurance. “The Eagle Has Landed”, the crew was Freddie Salem (guit./voc.), Hughie Thomasson (guit./voc.), Billy Jones (guit./voc.), David Dix (drums) and Rick Cua (bass) on the Lorelei on August 29th 1981. The Outlaws had released their commercially successful album “Ghost Riders” one year before. The track “(Ghost) Riders In The Sky” (original title: “Ghost Riders In The Sky: A Cowboy Legend”) was penned by Stan Jones, had already been covered by Johnny Cash and the Blues Brothers and became the new anthem of Southern rock fans in the Outlaw version. At the Lorelei, the Outlaws played an 8-minute version of “Ghost Riders In The Sky” with a guitar battle between Freddie Salem, Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones while the blissful fans in the audience waved an oversized Southern States banner. An incredible live experience is also their other Southern statement “Green Grass And High Tides”, which stretches over breathtaking 20 minutes.
Guitarist Freddie Salem remembers: “Speaking for the other Outlaws and myself, after playing in thousands of shows for thousands of people, Lorelei Germany and The Rockpalast concert will always remain a wonderful and ongoing memory in our career!

I was the light guy for the outlaws in the early 90s. What a great time,bunch of great guys. We toured with Foghat, Badfinger, Toy Caldwell, Leslie West from mountain and Blue Cheer. Great time in my life.

[@johnhudak3829]

Were you with them when they rolled through Richmond, VA in the early 90’s? We opened for them and I met Hughie by accident backstage. SUPER nice guy and he showed me how to play “Green Grass and High Tides” the right way. I was tuning my guitar up and was just messing around with the intro. This dude comes walking by and says “Hey nice Les Paul man, you know you’re playing that wrong…” I said: “Thanks man! Oh, do you know this song?” He grinned and said: “I wrote it” Could’ve knocked me over with a feather. What a nice man. We talked about how he had problems with the adjustment screws on the Fender saddles cause they dug into his hand when he was doing those muted double stop licks. Then he had to get going. Just a nice guy. I was a young punk with long hair and guys like him were inaccessible to me. I hope wherever he is he’s doing alright. RIP.

[@kingsalmon5905]

@@johnhudak3829 That's a lot of years ago. What was the name of your band? We almost always had an opening act and I always did the lighting for them. The opening act only had a few lights. Kind of an unwritten law. I saved the main light show for the Outlaws. I was up and down the east Coast several times. I have no doubt I was with them in VA. My time with them was late 1989-1992 with a hit and miss here and there. I never traveled out of the country with them. I wish I would have had the opportunity. But it is expensive to travel out of the country and I had just started a family. Hughie was a great dude. I'm still pretty bummed he passed.

[@kingsalmon5905]

OMG this popped up on my feed and watching this just opens up all those memory banks of growing up with this Florida band! Love these guys.

[@robcurtis1779]

I saw these guys in a tiny club in my town in the mid 1980’s. We were teenagers with fake ID’s, and we decided to take a taxi into town to drink some beer. The taxi stopped at a local motel to pick up two more people. They were with The Outlaws, and heading to the gig. That’s how we learned that the Outlaws were playing at JB’s Rock III that night. So we stayed for the show… and THEY ROCKED SO HARD AND HEAVY, we couldn’t believe how good the show was, and how much we enjoyed it. It also held the distinction of being the LOUDEST concert I had ever seen. The room was so small and the sound system was so big. It wasn’t until just a few years ago that I finally experienced a possibly louder band, when I sat in the front row of an Offspring concert. But that Outlaws show will always have a significant place in my memories. We walked home, and our ears rang for 3 days. Good times…

[@dynjarren8355]

I used to play green Grass and Hi Tides the rhythm part while my friend played the leads. He turned me on to the guitar 🎸 so I bought a Les Paul copy and we used to jam at his house on this song and Free Bird. Again I played the Rhythm. I stunk at lead and preferred Rhythm guitar and he was good on lead and dislikes playing rhythm so we were a duo. We would jam for hours on weekends and it was a lot of fun. We weren’t as good as the Outlaws or Skynyrd but my friend did play the same lead breaks as they did. He was pretty fast for his age. So this show brings back good memories! Thanks!

[@xxcelr8rs]

I met a junior high dropout kid. Went to his duplex and he could play Green Grass note for note. That is all he did. Play it over and over with the turn table and his Les Paul/Marshall. Played all the solos. No you tube, no tabs, all by ear. That is how you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@xxcelr8rs Thats one way to do it. The way most did. But it’s so much better now. Back then one had to play by ear and sight. Or Tablature the way I learned. Now you have KZbin lessons where they show you up close how to play something and they break it down for you. Much Easier to learn now. I wish KZbin was around when I was learning. I would have learn a lot more and faster. Now is the best time to learn guitar 🎸 because of all the free video lessons on KZbin. But one still must play and acquire the chops to be good like your friend did. Thanks for sharing!

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

"...not as good as..." Who cares?! If you had fun then it's always good!!! I took guitar lessons in the mid '60's (because, you know, The Beatles) but hated practicing and my teacher was boring. Well, 50 some years later I discovered 3 string cigar box guitars! I build'em and am learning the rock I wished I could've played back then... and I can play the rhythm to Green Grass (the solos? Hell no!! 😆)... of course, I'm not "as good" but I'm sure having fun!!

@@hurdygurdyguy1 Your inspiring me to get back into it again. Music is so powerful! I don’t know why it moves me but it does! It’s actually better than therapy! If you’re feeling low, you play some blues and express yourself and then you feel better. Don’t you? Then you play something upbeat and you feel good! So it’s a powerful force for good when you play an instrument ! 🎻 Music sends out a Vibe or Vibration into the Air. They are Sound Waves after all.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@hurdygurdyguy1 The friend I had who turned me on to playing the guitar 🎸 at 15 also frustrated me. I used to go over to his house to jam. He taught me the basic chords. He liked to play lead guitar 🎸 so he did while I strummed out the rhythms. We played for hours and jammed on songs we learned. No drummer. Then he got a girlfriend and she would watch us play. Then he got irrational and would give me dirty looks if I looked at her. He was crazy possessive about her and green eyed with jealousy if I even talked to her! She was a sweet girl but I wasn’t after her or anything. But I got tired of his crazy jealousy and stopped going by him to play and it ended our friendship. He was blinded by love and went crazy. I was done with him because he was too irrational! So I didn’t have any one to practice with anymore and got bored and quit. It makes me sad and mad just thinking about it now.

I saw The Stones in Orlando in 1981. The opening act was The Henry Paul Band.

[@Balkingpoints]

That's right. They were both great players and way those 2 meshed was better even than ABB or Skynyrd's guitarists. Saw them 7 times in this era, most with Freddy but once or twice with Henry Paul.

[@54fighting5]

​​@@AU88I was at that show. I refused to pay (I think) $17 for a ticket (can you imagine?) so my brother came up from West Palm and bought me one for my birthday. There was another opening act, and I think it might have been Van Halen? (BTW they sounded terrible with the limited amont of equipment they were allowed on that football stadium stage! The majority of the stage was filled up with Stones gear) The Henry Paul Band sounded great with the same limited equipment. I'm forever grateful to my brother because I got to see the Stones before it cost $200 and they played the same songs lol. I get confused a bit about the openers because not much later I saw the Who in the same place and I think the openers were Joan Jett and the B-52's. Lol the B-52's actually got booed off the stage (talk about a bad choice of openers). Good times, good times.

@@54fighting5 Yep, it was Van Halen. (Man, there were some fun shows at the Citrus/Tangerine Bowl in the 1980s.)

The Outlaws were the first group whoever made me plug up my fingers in my ears. But they sounded great.

[@DougWilliams-mk5ir]

I kind of agree with the Bible Thumpers, now that I’m one of them. But I can honestly say that I believe that the Outlaws had their knowledge of Jesus Christ and His saving grace. They were raised Southern Baptists. The thing about an Easter Sunday concert was, and they would probably agree that they would be better off in Church that night. I know that they were seeking to do right, for the most part. It was hard to get the pot out of their hands, except for Rick CUA, the bassist. He lives out his Christian faith to this day.

What a remarkable nugget this video is! So amazing to see video and audio of such high quality from over 40 years ago recorded with the technology of the day. But what really blows me away is the performance. I'm a huge fan of Henry Paul and appreciate so much what he does to keep the Outlaws legend thriving and the spirit of Southern Rock alive today. But seeing the Outlaws with this classic linup playing at their peak reminds me why I fell in love with this band in the happy days of my wasted youth.

*One of the best live shows I EVER saw! (and I've seen a bunch in my 67 years)* It was 'around' this same time, 1978 - 1981 (without checking my saved ticket stub). I saw them in west Michigan at Grand Valley state college. The opening band was Jonathan Edwards ('Sunshine' 1971). A few songs into his set, Jonathan asked for people to be quiet so he could sing a song without his band or any acoustics. There was some rowdy guys in the back who kept screaming *"OUTLAWS!!"* every time people got quiet. After a couple tries? They kept it up so he simply walked off the stage and didn't return. It took a bit of time before the Outlaws were ready to come on stage, but when they did? Everyone forgot all about Jonathan Edwards and any entertainment they might have missed because of these loud guys in the back. As I recall they played for the better part of an hour (maybe more).

Freddie on Long Gone is really good. All I can say is that one of the best live songs of all time on record is Green Grass from Bring It Back alive. 20+ minutes of pure electricity. The locking and mixing is awesome. 40+ years later. I just took out the record, cleaned it and fired up the turn table. Nothing better then a live LP.

Gran banda de rock sureño! Hasta la fecha sigo escuchando sus rolas.

never heard of back in the day thanks YT algor. Awesome band

[@stephenmiller5023]

Wow !! Been wanting to see this concert put together in this format for a long time . I have owned my Double album copy of “ Bring’Em Back Alive “ for decades and have been a fan since the 70’s . There’s never been a better time in history for bands like the Outlaws , to get out on the road & introduce the world to this kind of music . Thanks for posting this one 👍

[@arthurafonsomatosdeoliveir7268]

Outlaws,Lynyrd Skynerd,Molly Hatchet,Blackfoot,Point Blank,Hydra,Doc Hollyday e Creed são os melhores do Hard Southern Rock.

[@markmelvin299]

great upload thanks. So nice to see Hughie and Billy going back and forth. They really were the best at this with all due respect to others. I followed them on their first UK tour back in the late 70s I think (am I allowed to say that?) and saw a number of their gigs. I don't think the audience was quite ready for their full out assault. They visited a couple of times after from memory and I caught them whenever I could. Last time was in some dumpy bar in Miami, by mistake. Could not believe my luck. The guy I was with was trying to pick up chicks and I was simply watching Hughie strut his stuff. No Billy by that time. What a wonderful band. RIP Billy and Hughie. You guys were the best. Thanks again.

Hay momentos, en que esa pared sonora, de las guitarras es especialmente mágica.

[@Shannonrenees]

I completely agree . You have great taste in music !!!🍻

[@francoislopez1150]

support southern rock 🤠 👍

[@brianw8630]

I saw them Jan 26 1981, San Diego Sports Arena. 38 Special opened for them. Saw most of the Southern rock bands back then and I thought the Florida Guitar Army was the best of them all

[@frednurk4342]

What a band

[@meistersinger7600]

i was there. Great Concert on the Loreley.

[@ronniebaker7782]

My God! That was punch you in the face display of pure raw talent of which groups like the Allman Brothers and Skynyrd probably and humbly sat up the first time they heard them in that form and admired a thing of beauty… and said oh shit, we better go practice

[@nickthinkpainting1978]

Saw them with Molly Hatchet great night…☑️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@edpetrocelli2633]

I saw these guys at the Iron Horse in Ormond Beach about 4 yrs ago, 2hrs late getting to the stage, freezing cold 40 degrees and when they finally got going there was only one or 2 of the originals, When they started it was immediate that it was worth the wait, I tried to see these guys in the 70`s and couldn`t make it work but they sounded like the original record it was unbelieveble. A guy named Ken Anderson did most of the guitar parts and he was fantastic the whole performance was. If they come back I`ll be there for sure. Always one of my favorite bands next to Allman Bros.

[@dr.know-it-all5148]

Henry Paul and Monte Yoho. He brought some of his boys from the HP Band. Huey and Billy were gone. but Billy Crain was a great picker.

[@dbtry]

Hughie was really the central presence in the band.

[@jcruisioso5975]

He was the leader

[@beatosmax57]

Lived in Bakersfield,Cal. Went down to LA a few times in the late 70s and early 80s to a out door ampa theater, i think it was in Anaheim, don't remember. Shrooms 🍄 acid was the thing back then. It always brings back good memories when I listen to there music. To me they are immortal in my heart and mind alone with Marshall Tucker and DRV.

1981...to be 21 again!

[@gregcorwin8316]

I saw these guys live three times over the years. First time was in Norfolk VA when they opened for the rolling stones. The Outlaws were great, the stones sucked rocks... The other two times I saw them was with Skynyrd. Miss those days.

[@fukhue8226]

Billy and Huey in their Hay Day rocking with Henry Paul on vocals. Henry didn't last long for whatever reason but he was there long enough to make an album that was the only thing close enough to touch what Skynyrd had done. RIP Huey, Billy and the Lynyrd Skynyrd band!
