Kinda like Lynyrd Skynyrd in 76' I believe at Knebworth in England , those " hics from Jax " handed the Stones thier ass , the VIDEO SPEAKS VOLUMES of that English audience affirming that ROCK N ROLL HAS A SOÚTHERN ACCENT, and I'm a HUGE Stones fan , though there has been times they've GLIDED on who they are vs something new , that & to many QUAALUDES THAT DAY . Hahaha *** From Florida myself so the hic comment gets a pass hahaha

.,..... the audience and MICK JAGGER , lol , who has sung with American southern accent many times ( I. E. Dead Flowers ) ....... Was actually a quote from Greg Allman in 1980 I think about RR 's accent

I agree what an amazing live band with the guitars and harmonys I mean no other southern rock band harmonizes like that they were truly amazing

Sing it Anya !!! (;

Right on! Green grass and high tides mean the weed is good, and the fishing is even better! My idea of heaven.

EVER!!!!

You are exactly right! Billy and Hughie were tight on the solo switching, great ear training for me later when i joined a band that already had another lead guitar player who i wanted to never ever suffer the over anxious lead and self indulgent lead players i had to jam with in my formative early guitar playing days. Silly sucky guitar players who would barrel and run over you and turn their amp up to 10 just for their usually sloppy playing to be heard! I also studied the tightness of Duane Allman and Dicky Betts for the same tight and courteous jet fighter pilots at the ready and for the right timing attitude to blast out their great guitar solo's!

Absolutely - No doubt the best - On top of some of the greatest instrumentalists playing the most melodic verses and chorus topped off with world class lyrics. Talented yet humble in life, they don't make em like this anymore.

No doubt brother. Took me awhile. I found my youth again! Best concert ever. "Texas shootout" what memories I will take to my grave. ❤

Same here Mike. After HT passed , I could not listen to it for a number of years.

That happened to me with BLACKFOOT RICKY MEDLOCKE I EAR RANG FOR A MONTH MY RIGHT EAR RINGS TO THIS DAY TRENTON NJ WAR MEMORIAL I SAW OUTLAWS MANY TIMES UP TO THE ROUNDUP AND RIDER COLLEGE BEING LAST 2 BUT THEY WERE LARGER VENUES

I wouldn't call them a jam band - just rockers who could rock forever!

Thelonesniper101 What would you call them..punk rockers?

+mat mazy there are bands that are just rock bands, they usually span different sub-genres. dir en grey considers themselves just a rock band.

JOSHUA KANE Agreed,just can't NOT call them Jam band-which is not even a genre

They're young and dumb son. 😂

Me too!! But hands down, one of the best shows in my lifetime. Love them! They put it ALL out!☺️

they're still out there playing

Man I would love to see Hughie,Billy Jones, Gary Rossington, Steve Gaines, and especially Allen Collins rockin' out to Green Grass and High tides together

Ronnie Montrose was no damn slouch on the guitar, mind you ! That dude could write a helluva song! (R.I.P., Ronnie..)

I am salivating at the thought of Outlaws and Hatchet on the same stage.I saw them both in "79/80" ..but not together...damn,that must have been so sweet,between the obvious guitar attack,the vocals and of course bass and drums.Thanks for sharing this.If you can remember more details....I am reliving it through your words.

I remember when I was a kid growing up in Tampa and remember a band always practicing on Juneo st in Sulphur springs and always wondered if it was them because I always heard that Hughie and Billy were from Sulphur springs I'm thinking it had to be them

That is cool. So like the song you got a private show. Nice.

Was that you yelling Wild Turkey at us?

Damn. I would give my right arm to have been there. I grew up in Long Beach and saw them every time they came around. They and Led Zep were and still are my favs, I'm 62.

Yes I was there too and as I recall they pretty much blew the Stones off the stage that night

Sorryaboutbillysomuch

That would have been EPIC!

Springfield Mass 1977. Outlaws were opening for 'Boston'. About 40 of us at our boarding school signed up to go, a full busload of us. A small group of us worked our way into the first 5 rows, just off center stage. Like any high energy concert it was constant motion up front...like a fuckin nascar race, everyone elbowing and jockeying for position....I was just a 13 year old kid...just trying to stay on my feet. Outlaws come out and did a 1 hr set closing with green grass + high tides. I swear to god it was like parting the red sea...up front, some 7000-8000 people became mesmerized by the 3 guitar army. I was suddenly in the front row 20 feet away from Billy Jones and Hughie Tomasson. I watched this whole back and forth between those 2 and I will never forget it. It was so damn impressive. So many years later, having seen thousands of shows, this one from 1977 still stands out. Those guys were working hard. Every show, all those guys had to really work hard to play clean like that. Amazing band.

Hull Mass.!

What?

I saw them with Foghat and Steppenwolf in 84ish

Brother man, I couldn't agree more!!! This song has always been my freebird!!!!!

It's like these guys took Free Bird and said "How can we do better?"

Free Bird kinda burn't me out listening to it! Simple Man & On the Hunt were my 2 Skynard favorites anyway! Green Grass & High Tides never get too burned out on this tune!

At the time, Free Bird was all the rage. Personally, The Breeze was my fav, but the Outlaws just raised the bar!

Freebird will always be my favorite

i forgot to tell ya'll, since we got the "BESTEST EVER" version of GGHT??....i thought it was myte nice, that miss ANYA McDONALD provided the lyric's, a couple of scroll's down from here??...tell me if H.T. could write? *****
