Blackfoot Highway Song: Live CD

List All Reviews

 What can you say
Blackfoot is simply one of the best live shows you could have seen back-in- the-day. We say them warm up for somebody in San Bernardino back in the late '70s. Sorry could not tell you who the headliner was - we we're blown away by this little band that took the stage and took over the Swing Auditorium. been a fan ever since - if you go overseas they're many other live shows on CD. Rick Medlocke was born to front a rock band.

 Real Southern Rock.
If late seventies southern rock live is what your looking for, this is a top notch act. Though their period in history was short, what songs they did record were excellent. If you buy one Blackfoot CD, you would not sell yourself on this one. Mike

 You'll never see them together again
We saw these guys in San Bernardino back on the "Strikes" tour - someone had broken into thier trailer and ripped off their gear, playing with rented equipment - this was one of the most remembered shows I'd seen then or since. Ricky Medlocke is a born frontman and awesome live - the show was great and their live recordings (most of them) provide a snapshot of their live presence. If it's Blackfoot and it's live - buy it, enjoy it and play it loud.

 IGreat Southern Boogie Blues
I had the opportunity to see Blackfoot on this tour. The band was at it's prme kiking out great energetic southern blues. Unlike bands such as, Molly Hatchet and Lynard Skynard whose overwhelming dual lead guitars were hard on the ears at concerts, Blackfoot was able to keep it simple and play on the band's talents. The Album has some wonderful songs, starting with "Gimme, Gimmme, Gimmme", "Fly Away" and "Dry County" It's weaknesses are "Everyman Should Know (Queenie) and "Trouble In Mind". But the concert comes to a great conclusion with astounding live versions of "Train, Train" and "Highway Song". I have always loved the mix of Ricky "Rattlesnake" Medlocke's creative blues writing with the rythm section of Blackfoot Indians: Greg T. Walker on bass and Jackson "Thunderfoot" Spires on the drums. These two musician's have been highly underrated and deserve their moment in the spotlight.
