You got that right

I have never heard of them being underrated all I ever heard about them is being guitar virtuosos

LOLOL never underrated.. these stupid comments are over rated!

They were never underrated to me. I have all their albums. Saw them perform live at the Tomorrow Club in Youngstown Ohio in the late 70s. They were so good. The Tomorrow Club was formerly a movie theater. Which means it was a relatively small concert venue. Which means everybody was close to the band. Didn't need no big screen so you could see them. We saw so many good bands there. It was an awesome time. Nobody was friskin' you at the door. Nobody was violent. But we sure smoked that place up...ha ha. And still smokin'' it up.. Keep on rockin'' !!

I quite literally agree with you my dear friend 😂

Amen

Dirty Commies

I saw them twice in 2022 .Still great. Going to see them again in November

Seen em 3 times unforgettable .

Detroit?? What the hell are you talking about my hometown for??😂😂

fuck yea The LBC Im from north town

Yep your as old as me ..! But still Rocking On !

Amen

Amen 🙏🏽 indeed🙋🏽‍♀️💕

Amen. What fantastic music.

Amen saw herny Paul never get to see the outlaws

Ronnie van Zant got them signed. Clive Davis I believe. He managed Alan Jackson later, Bruce Springsteen and Whitney Houston

So do I. Always listen to it.

They were not uderated

never thought of it like that. Strat sounded killer BTW

Kind of funny because on that 3 pickup LP, Billy tends to use the middle position which almost gives it a Strat kind of sound due to the pickup combination and you can hear him use it as such in this song.

Yeah.. such great musicians ... so underrated !! sit down right now and show me any band right now that could pull this off........................

Right on!!!

Never caught Charlie live to my regret but the 'laws twice both times at the Aragon - which fit way more, the Auditorium downtown fancy, ' the'gon was rowdy way more rockin' ;-)

I would like to back the time just to see their show.

That's a heck of a concert.

@@fordrac1ng81 Yes, it was and Molly Hatchet was in the line up that day also. I got the worst sunburn I ever had in my life that day. We were all drinking beer and smoking weed shirtless out in the sun all afternoon, too stupid to realize that wasn't such a good idea lol!

That sounds perfect! Always wanted to see Marshall Tucker. I saw the Outlaws in Kansas City 80~81ish. The opening act was this new band called Molly Hatchet. Good times.

They played the Round up in PHILADELPHIA at J.F.K STADIUM WHAT a show .The first time I saw them was at a small club called my father place in ROSLYN N.Y L.I. in 1980 they ROCK the house down the place was packed and it was a rocken the good old days when tickets were cheap and the music was great. Long LIVE ROCK MY FRIENDS

I saw them a few times. What stuck out for me was July 3, 1979 at Legend Valley, Ohio. Dixie Jam II. On the bill : The Outlaws, The Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, Pure Prairie League & McGuffey Lane. There were so many people (est were 70,000 to 100,000) crowded into this natural outdoor amphitheater somewhere out in the woods. It had rained the night before & the place looked like a wet muddy swamp. Overcast to start off when they started to open the gates, by the time the Outlaws started to play, the Sun started to peek out, there were so many people (thousands) who had been sick, passing out or falling asleep from too much partying. When the Sun finally came out entirely it baked these same muddy people & then dried them into mud-caked zombie-like creatures when they would stir. To me, it looked like the last days of Pompeii might have looked like. That image stuck with me to this day. But a great day for music if you didn't mind the heat, mud etc. :)

Not even close.

Duane Allman and Dicky Betts 🎸 🎸

Did you ever hear Duane Allman and Dicky Betts or Garry Rossington and Allen Collens ?

@@JDStaffylover no match for the Florida Guitar Army

@@greenmanalishi8766 I think that 98% of people would disagree with you.

Saw many great shows at the capital miss those days

Couldn't agree more. There was something about that guy, so sad how it ended. The Outlaws are still around with a couple of original members, and they are good. But when Billy left it just was not the same. And then the loss of Hughie.....

👍👍👍Billy Jones was phenomenal. He comes across as someone who is tormented by something to me, however. I believe he took his own life. Very sad because he brought a lot of joy to the people who love the Outlaws.

@@jamesbowen8960 Yes, he did take his own life. Very sad and the details or at least what I heard at the time of his passing were very troubling. Besides his guitar skills and songwriting ability I loved his vocals. He had a very unique sound, never heard another singer that sounded like him. "Holiday" is still one of my favorite songs.

@@petes9793 He applied a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Very sad. Brilliant talent.

no molly hatchet?

God created Southern Rock to soothe the savage beast in all mankind !

The chance had a lot of great bands I miss going there

Ted Nugent opened...they were booed off stage..

I went on a Blackfoot kick the other day, albums were great well into the 1980s.

Yep been in Florida since 1971.Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros. Outlaws, and of course Lynyrd Skynyrd.

@@kennybania8623 Ahh the Allman Bros.... a bunch of boys from Nashville Tennesee who started a band based out of Macon, Georgia in Jacksonville, Florida.

@@kennybania8623 I see you have mandatory ultra conservative "I promise I'm not racist" channel subscriptions. You guys crack me up..... nobody out in the real world actually thinks you are racist. Get outside dood!

Another Florida boy from that era right here nodding his head. Been watching a lot of these videos from "my era' (I'm 57) and man did we have it good.

That's around my count too! Most all the southern rock bands would come around every year and I'd go see em, sometimes going to the next closest show too. 3 bands for $7.50, shirts $5 ahh the good old days! 😁

He took his life about 12 years ago too

Billy Jones was also a great athlete in school. Excelled in track and field.

'The origional 'Outlaws' southern rock group is gone forever.

Saw them with Molly Hatchet in St. Louis in 1980...at Keil Auditorium..

I traveled with Molly Hatchet selling T-shirt’s at their shows. I worked for a company called Road Runners. ❤️ Great memories!!!!

Highway Song, one of my favorites!!

I was there.

I was there

Don't mind at all if you call ?

Awesome. I got to see them at a small beer garden festival where were clogging at. I went back to our vehicle to get my cassette for them to sign. I sure wondered how they ended up as entertainment there.

Wow- never got to see them at their peak like this..just barely before my time..though herein the southeast u.s., they ruled the airwaves for years afterward, all over most of the world also, if these posts have it right
