First band I ever saw live. 1980. Still lurking around in 2024. Good times.

When your grandaddy is the great Shorty Medlocke, you've got that southern boogie woogie in your DNA!

I’m 68 years young and had the privilege of seeing Blackfoot live, in the UK, several times. Nearly every morning I say “Alexa - Play Blackfoot”.

This is back when bands would take songs to a whole new level when they played live. So much energy here...

One of the greatest rock riffs of all time.

Anyone that can't sit back and enjoy the absolute joy of this live video has a sad life. The raw energy of this version of Blackfoot is amazing. I miss them. And bless the soul of Jakson Sprires.

THE BEST southern rock band ever. They had the hard edge that the others never did. I like Skynyrd and the Allmans, but I'm an old metalhead and Blackfoot has always been the real deal for me.

The brilliance of the southern rock Era was insane! So glad I was alive! Jacksonville was a friggin blast back then, I guarantee!

Ricky is such a talent! He really knows how to rock out! Great energy and performance.

Rickey is one of rocks greatest yet underrated guitarist

Back in the day when a 20 dollar ticket got you the greatest shows on earth

Jesus, how much rock can you get in a 5 minute video? The intro is so badass. So ballsy when the song kicks in.

FK i miss seeing these kick ass bands !! Oh to live in that era 🔥nothing compares to this shit nowadays 💯

Medlock was always awesome. I'll always Love train train I remember listening to it when I was a teenager. Always has an upbeat rhythm to it.

I hung out back stage with these guys when they were touring with Ted Nugent and Aerosmith around the mid eighties...Great guys and a hell of a show...

My band added this song because one member's dad wants to play on stage with us at his retirement party. He figured he could swing the rhythm guitar part. We played it for the first time last Friday and he was like "oh shit, I better practice". But the real story was the crowd totally responded and instantly filled the dance floor. I was surprized so many people would recognize the song especially since it was a young-ish crowd. I guess that is why they call some music "timeless".

Rickey Medlocke has been Rockin for almost as long as I can remember and I'm 64 years old...Nothing beats the 70's Love live Darkhorse!!! 🔊🎸🕪🎶😎

If you have never listened to the entire "Strikes" album, I highly recommend it. Every song on it is great!

This really is some of the best energy I have ever seen in a live video. So fun and enjoyable along with a kickass song.

When Ricky says he is going to play a little slide here...it always makes me hit the back button several times...great solo from an excellent guy on the guitar.

This is one of my favorite Blackfoot videos ,such a kick ass song .RIP ,Jackson "Thunderfoot" Spires .One Heck of a Drummer.I miss him .

you're right--these guys really rocked. no tricks--just in your face. we need bands like this again.

One of the greatest live songs of all time!!!!!! Inspired me to pick up a guitar in my teens. Have probably seen this video a thousand times!!!!

How can anybody give this a dislike? Kick ass southern rock.

Great high-energy version of this song - but it still was missing something without a blazing harmonica solo (or intro). It's no secret that Ricky's grandpa, Shorty Medlocke, wrote the song & played the original harmonica parts in 1981 ...he was probably gone before this concert having died in July '82. R.I.P. Shorty 🎸🎶

2020 anyone?

One of the best Bands in the world

If this doesn't get your motor running, you need to have it checked.

This is RAW southern Rock-n-Roll-Blackfoot frickin rocks and always will. God Bless these Boys.

57 years old I've rediscovered southern rock again. Without words, but I'll try; soulful, powerful, sincere and just damn good! Looking forward to listening to this on "11" over and again on my two-day drive home. Just damn!

I respect the hell out of the Allman Brothers and Skynyrd and like my fair share of their songs, but I have always liked more ballsy guitars and that is why Blackfoot has always been my southern jam of choice. This is killer. Never really been another band like them and they never really got their due to begin with. So grateful for these nuggets we can still enjoy. Thank you Ricky, Charlie, Greg and Jakson "Thunderfoot" Spires (RIP).

Absolutely amazing! Great energy and performance! You don’t see this often. 🎸🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

This is my first time listening to Blackfoot. I have to say I'm very impressed. Not what I was expecting. I was listening to redbone & they told me to check out Blackfoot and I did and was expecting something totally different. Blackfoot fucking rocks

I will ALWAYS REMEMBER Jackson "THUNDERFOOT" Spires!!! Rest In Peace my brother.

they used to tell us when we hit it big you guys will never have to pay for a concert. Well sometime after that they played a show at the convention center in Asbury Park. I took a bed sheet and made a big black foot banner on it. And the two O's in Blackfoot I painted to black feet, obviously lol. And at the bottom I painted how come we had to pay to get in? My sister posted up on stage after their first song. I believe they were there promoting a new album. After the first song they stop playing and opened it up on stage. And after looking at it and giggling a little bit. He walks over to the mic and says it looks like we have some friends in the crowd from back home. And they're really pissed off about the price of admission lol. After that they pretty much played the whole rest of the show just for us. And played all of their old early originals. I'm 55 years old now and living by the beach in Cocoa Beach Florida. Then to this day it was one of the very best nights of my life. Thank you for all the great memories Blackfoot we all appreciated it

Unbelieveble how this still rocks, one of best live recordings ever!

There was a time when MTV showed this video pretty often. Hard to believe MTV ever did anything that awesome. Sitting through hours of Duran Duran and Madonna was all worth it just to catch these 5 minutes of bad-ass-ity.

Reading Rock and Blues Festival 1982, these guys were amazing definitely no Lynyrd Skynyrd rip offs, stood by their own material. RIP Jakson Spires and Shorty Medlock, rock and play some blues in heaven, bless you both and the Skynrd guys up there with you, thanks.

Can't get much better than this for good ol American R&R - slide guitar, a couple Les Paul's, rock-steady bass line, and a damn good drummer. What more do you need?

This was on my playlist and there isn't anything like this southern rock!

Shout out to the Sioux Nation much love from England !!, Blackfoot the UK were always your greatest Fans and you know that, you toured England in 1980 and then released a recording of it Highway Song Live in 1982 been listening to your albums over 37 years, I can only thanks you guys from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing music and enjoyment I've reaped from listening to it, always your greatest fan !!!

Sometimes you hear a song and you have to get up and dance, if only for the sake of dancing. These guys rock

Mr.Medlocke is still jamming like the pro he's always been! Thanks Richy

Another band in my top 5 I wished I saw live back in the day, Medlock at his best I see....Thanks for the post!

Naaahhhhhhh........they weren't on coke. Lol! Best live version of this song! One of my all time favs!!!

did anybody notice that ricky is wearing Ronnnie van zant's hat.all them boys grew up together.i sure miss ronnie.

Love this song...love this band .Good ole day's

I saw this band in 1991 perform at Plum Crazy bar in Charlotte NC. They were great!!!😊

I am choked on how much Rickey Medlock are awesome front man , guitarist and slide guitarist.... so COOL

Nothing like some great cocaine driven southern rock and roll hall yeah

Seriously this song couldn't possibly rock any harder!

I had the honor of meeting Jack before he passed when he played with the southern rock all stars. He was a true gentleman, and had zero problem having conversations with random fans. I cherish his autograph, and the discussions I got to have with him, as well as the photos

Music may not make the world go around, but it sure can make you kick back and enjoy ride a little better.

Growing up in Florida in the 70's and 80's with Blackfoot, Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet,and the Allman Bros being played on the radio constanty..was friggin awsome! Woooooooooooooooooooo!

saw em in the early 80’s, Window Rock Civic Center, Navajo Nation. kick ass sound.

great band. Saw them open for Nugent in 79 and ACDC in 80. One of the best bands I ever saw.

Awesome Rock n Roll from back when music was real. I feel sorry for todays kids and the crap they have to listen to

On a flight to San Diego and Navy boot camp he bought a round of drinks for us. At first I didn't recognize him.

Nothing like a Les Paul with a slide! Rock on !

I just love this song! Awesome band too.

Dang I remember listening to this when it first came out real music but it sure does make me feel old

Man, I loved this band, still do !

Love the South...mountains...so pretty...and Southerners? We don't put up with any crap but we are good-hearted. Love Southern food and Southern music and this is a classic. I think this was one of the first bands I saw in Atlanta...and next...I'm not sure...been a long time. The most uncomfortable was Ozzy...he looked like he was going to fall over...literally lunging the whole concert. Been to so many...love all of them.

These guys should have been bigger than they were. Awesome band.

I'm watching in 2019

damn! these guys got a ton of energy and are really into it. you can feel it.

I have this on a 12" 45rpm disc with Dry County on the other side. What a band. Southern Rock badassery deluxe right here.

It's 2019 & I'm still watchin' It.

Here we are in 2019..the rock is still great!

The drummer makes this song. With that southern, funk, groove beat.

What great memories, thanks for the upload. I saw BLACKFOOT in 1980 for my first concert. Point Blank opened then Blackfoot and then Foghat. After hearing TRAIN TRAIN I was hooked. Blackfoot become one of my most favorite bands. Keep the videos coming.

The Energy of This Band is Causing a... Power Surge 💥 🎸💥

Literal chills. This is gold.

I can watch this over and over again.

Love the 70s Southern Rock style !My Heaven is gonna be filled with all the stars.....Blackfoot, LySky, Allman Bros., Molly Hatchett, ZZ, Outlaws, 38 Special..Cheers,,

Hell ya! Ricky and the boys all have injun blood running through their veins.

Now that is a performance. No need to be flashy or showy. Just got to convey good energy

It is fucking mezmorizing to see these band's jam so many year's later, ...when ALL that MATTERED WAS,......THE MUSIC!!!!!! How awesome does this song,... make you feel? That innoscence we all had, damn...……..

The UK really loved these guys. They showed up there right around the time that the whole NWOBHM scene was in full swing, and for whatever reason the headbangers over there absolutely adored what Blackfoot was playing.

These boys always ROCKED

I get chills when I hear this! My life fast and hard in early 90's

Great voice and great song !!! The fantastic performance !!! 5***** Thanks for share sixstringintexas !!!

Saw them at Newcastle City Hall supporting the Scorpions and then at Newcastle Mayfair. Two of the best live shows I've ever seen.

Holy shit those guys are Rockin!

Hands down the best version of Blackfoot with Medlocke, Hargett, Walker, and the late jaclson Spires.

Saw these guys in the mid-70s in Jacksonville, with Shorty Medlocke there to play the harp intro. They were opening for Terrible Ted, and both bands were awesome!

Still rocking to this in 2024! Kick ass Southern rock!

I saw Blackfoot in 1978 with the Outlaws. GREAT show

bad ass, love them hats too, this music takes me back to a teenager, these guys are gettner done.

Rick, thanks for the memories!

Saw them at Knebworth in 84,what a great band.Never got the recognition they deserved.

love this album gets me in the mood for driving the truck

It doesn't matter who is from where. This is a kick ass song. I do miss the harmonica at the beginning.

Friends, Music has changed so much and always will keep changing and redoing songs..The true artists of the 70s knew one of many things, and that was how to put on a show . Music was real, and it was heartfelt. When you left a show , you were soaked in sweat, and knowing you seen one of the greatest concerts ever! Those days are gone! But remember them and that keeps them alive! All that all the bands out there today, are doing what THERE fans want, and making there fans world a better place

Love me some Blackfoot. We seen them back in the 80's in a 3 band performance featuring AC/DC, Blackfoot and Mothers Finest.

Amazing two guitars one bass and drums, no theatrics but wonderful audience involvement

ALRIGHT...now that's what I'm talkn' 'bout!!! Thanks!!!

Your comment sums it up. Frisbee, sun, weed, and youth. There is still more for us and the music is there to keep us going.

That is pure kick ass rock and roll, period.

Who else is watching this in 2018?
